"Let's not talk about anything else. Just last time, when you were injured by Fang Xian of Changfeng Valley in the Eclipse Secret Realm, didn't I personally take you there to seek justice?" Shen Yun tried his best to make amends.
Ji Mo Fan sneered inwardly.
Seeking justice? The original purpose was clearly to give Qi Fengyu a chance to return to his former glory.
If it weren't for Fang Xuan's interest, his injuries would still be in healed.
However, Ji Mofan's purpose at this moment was not to openly break ties with Shen Yun, so he lowered his eyes and waved his hand, "Master, what are you thinking? I wasn't talking about myself."
"He's my junior brother."
Shi Rusi couldn't help but raise her head and steal a glance at Ji Mofan and Shen Yun, who were sitting on the left and right sides of the main hall, respectively.
Just as the young sect leader had said, the relationship between the two was superficially harmonious but inwardly estranged.
The eldest disciple became increasingly disrespectful to his teachers and increasingly disregarded the sect.
If we don't find an excuse to make him understand who the real king is, the entire Yuncang Mountain will have to share the surname Jimo with him.
Fortunately, Ji Mofan couldn't hear Shi Rusi's inner grumbling.
Hearing that would make me sick; who wants to share the same surname as the Yun Cang Sword Sect?
Not everyone likes picking up trash!
Shen Yun was completely baffled by Ji Mo Fantian's rambling remarks. "What does this have to do with Ge Yue?"
Ji Mofan smiled and then took out a pottery jar from his Qiankun bag.
“Master, do you know that this is what caused my junior brother to be severely injured in the Misty Secret Realm, forcing him to return to the sect ahead of schedule?” he said.
Shen Yun was quite knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that it was a pottery jar used to contain Gu worms.
Moreover, the yellow mud and paper seals used to seal the lid had been cut open, and the marks were still fresh, indicating that it had only been opened recently.
His expression suddenly changed. "How dare this traitorous disciple plot such unorthodox methods!"
Ji Mofan shook his head. "This isn't something my junior brother is just figuring out on his own. Someone asked him to help find this thing and deliver it to him."
Shen Yun felt a bad premonition spreading through his heart.
Sure enough, Ji Mofan's next sentence was—
"This person is Xiao Yu."
"Splash—"
The teacup in Shen Yun's hand was finally crushed by him, turning into dust that mixed with the warm tea soup and spilled all over the table, dripping onto the ground.
"...Xiao Fan, don't talk nonsense." He glared at Ji Mo Fan.
"If Master doesn't believe me, just call Junior Brother back from the Cliff of Remembering Bitterness, and you'll know the answer." After saying that, Ji Mo Fan didn't care about Shen Yun's reaction. He casually made a sound transmission talisman and used his spiritual power to send a message to Li Ge Yue.
Shen Yun uneasily moved his fingertips, silently forming a hand seal to clean up the stains on the ground.
He tried his best to press his pounding heart down.
Nothing will happen... Li Geyue has always preferred Qi Fengyu. Even if she spoke up for Ji Mofan in front of her last time, it was only because Ji Mofan was the only one involved in the conflict at the time.
Now, if we put Qi Fengyu and Ji Mofan on the scales together, we believe Li Geyue will make the right choice based on their relative importance.
As it turned out, Li Geyue, who came from Yiku Cliff, was the first to arrive.
"Senior Brother, what brings you here?" He bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.
After spending more than half a month at Yiku Cliff, Li Geyue was no longer the arrogant and aloof young master he once was.
His hair was disheveled, his complexion was terrible, and his once magnificent clothes had turned gray and drab, making him look terribly miserable.
Only his eyes remained bright, especially when he looked at Ji Mofan.
He unconsciously pressed his hand to his chest.
The closer the Love Poison is, the more pronounced its effects. His heartbeat was so loud it was deafening; he could barely hear anything else around him.
"Junior brother, let me ask you something."
Well, only Ji Mofan's voice could still be heard steadily and without missing a single word.
Although I really wanted to act like, "You abandoned me on Yiku Cliff for more than half a month without asking about me, so I'm going to throw a tantrum and show you my attitude."
But when Li Geyue raised her face and saw Ji Mofan's eyes again, she couldn't help but let herself be controlled by the Love Poison.
"Senior brother, please ask. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
It's not that he's the one making a fool of himself! It's all the work of the Gu worms!
Ji Mo Fan seemed oblivious to the look in his eyes that was practically melting him apart. He shook the small pottery jar in his hand. "Junior brother, have you ever seen this before?"
Li Geyue immediately nodded, "I've seen it before, I got it from the Dark Aura Secret Realm."
"Since it was obtained from a secret realm, why not hand it over to the sect after the training is over, so that the sect can distribute it uniformly?"
“Because Xiaoyu asked me to find it,” Li Geyue answered without hesitation. “He wanted me to secretly give it to him after I got it.”
Although he probably kept it for himself in the end...
Before Ji Mofan, who was asking the question, could speak, Shen Yun slammed his hand on the table.
"Nonsense!" He pointed at Li Geyue, "Xiao Yu has never been to the Shen Ai Secret Realm. During your training trip, he stayed at home recuperating. How could he possibly know what's in the secret realm? And why would he ask you to help him secretly?"
Shen Yun was extremely anxious, and he even had the urge to fly out on his sword and bring Qi Fengyu into the main hall.
Even someone in the Foundation Establishment stage shouldn't be moving this slowly, right? The distance between this peak and the main peak is several times greater than the distance from here to the Cliff of Remembrance.
Li Geyue was able to arrive even though he had just recovered from his injuries and had been squatting on the Cliff of Bitterness for so long. How could Qi Fengyu be so slow?
Perhaps Qi Fengyu truly heard Shen Yun's inner cry, for finally, belated footsteps sounded outside the door.
The handsome young man was not dressed in fine clothes, and his long black hair was completely loose. Coupled with his pale face, he looked plain and pitiful.
He certainly didn't come here using his own light-footed skills; instead, he had a familiar disciple bring him along. After all, everyone knew that his health was indeed extremely poor.
No wonder it took so long.
"Elder Shen, Senior Brother." Qi Fengyu bowed obediently to the two people seated on the table as soon as he entered the room, appearing quite docile.
"Xiao Yu, let me ask you something." Shen Yun pointed to the already opened pottery jar in Ji Mo Fan's hand, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Qi Fengyu followed his gaze and felt a jolt in her heart.
How did this thing end up in Ji Mofan's hands?!
He naturally remembered what he had asked Li Geyue to do, but Li Geyue had clearly told him when he returned from the secret realm that there was nothing to be found at the marked point on the map except for a bunch of guardian puppets.
How come a used pottery jar for Gu worms has suddenly appeared here in Jimo Fan?
