When Ji Yuan and the others returned, it was already nearing dusk, and when he landed at the lakeside cottage, he found that Lin Hu's family was all there.
As for the courtyard where Ji Yuan used to live... it was indeed inhabited by new people.
He cast an Invisibility Technique, piloting the Flying Boat to hover over the courtyard, looking down from above.
The first thing that caught his eye was, naturally, the two peach trees he had planted. It was springtime now, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom, which he also noticed.
These two peach trees had clearly been pruned, and it was evident that the family living here quite cherished the trees.
Ji Yuan's figure floated again into the backyard, and he saw two children, a boy and a girl, by the fish pond he had dug, looking around seven or eight years old.
Both were playing with mud by the pond, looking quite similar, presumably siblings.
"Brother, why haven't Mom and Dad come back yet? My stomach is growling."
