Qi Fengyu's mind raced for a moment. He didn't believe that Ji Mofan and Shen Yun had called him and Li Geyue over at this time just to trick him into revealing information. Besides, even if they were trying to get information out of him, they must know something to ask such a question.
To what extent does he know? And where did he find out?
Qi Fengyu's gaze unconsciously shifted to Li Geyue, who was standing in the hall. Only then did she belatedly realize how unusual the way this arrogant young master looked at Ji Mofan was.
His eyes flickered, and he felt a great sense of dread.
The jar of Gu worms had been opened... It was Ji Mofan who took the Love Gu and used it on Li Geyue, forcing him to obey him!
Is this still the upright and noble senior brother he knew?
How could they stoop to using crooked and unethical methods?
Seeing the changing expressions in Qi Fengyu's eyes, Ji Mofan narrowed his eyes indifferently.
What's wrong with unorthodox methods? As long as they achieve the goal, they're good methods.
As long as the result is good, that's all that matters.
Moreover, sects forbid unorthodox practices because they fear that disciples might become confused on their path to the Dao and even suffer from demonic possession.
But his Dao heart is now incredibly stable.
"...I've never seen this before." Qi Fengyu's silence lasted only a few seconds before he quickly calmed down and replied with an innocent expression, "It looks like a Gu worm from the Southern Frontier? How could our Yun Cang Sword Sect have such a thing?"
"Junior brother, you answer this question." Ji Mofan casually put the pottery jar aside and started fiddling with the teacup again.
The cup is nice, but the brewing technique was wrong, so even the best tea was wasted.
"Senior Brother, why did you call me here at this time? Do you suspect that this thing is related to me?" Qi Fengyu knew that he couldn't let Li Geyue speak now, otherwise he would reveal everything. He had to find a way to shut him up first.
"That's not the case. It was actually Junior Brother Shi who mentioned you just now." Ji Mofan shook his head at this moment. "Junior Brother Shi led a group of outer disciples to explore the Shallow Ocean Secret Realm. They encountered a problem during their training, and he said it was related to you. That's why Master asked you to come and inquire."
"My junior brother didn't mention your name, why are you so nervous?"
Qi Fengyu's complexion worsened.
It was a mistake. Shi Rusi had been standing silently in the corner, and he had almost overlooked the man's presence, assuming that he had come to the main hall for some other reason.
"I just want to finish talking with my senior brother and the elders as soon as possible so I can go back and take my medicine." As he said this, Qi Fengyu coughed twice as if to make it sound serious. "The medicine is still simmering on the fire. If it's too early or too late, its effectiveness will be affected, which is why I'm a little anxious."
"Senior Brother, why are you being so aggressive?"
This makes it sound like Jimo Fan is making things difficult for a patient.
Seeing the displeased expression on the face of the true disciple beside Qi Fengyu, Ji Mofan remained nonchalant.
"But Xiaoyu, is your illness really as serious as you say, to the point that even going out briefly is difficult?" Ji Mofan tapped the armrest of the seat beneath him with his fingertips and narrowed his eyes. "Junior Brother Shi just said that he spoke to you at the mountain gate."
Are you going to deny his testimony?
"I have never been there." Qi Fengyu was obviously used to lying, and this time he told the lie without batting an eye. "I don't know why Junior Brother Shi would say such things to slander me."
“I didn’t!” Shi Rusi argued.
He agreed to the agreement because he didn't know what Qi Fengyu wanted to do, since there were very few people in the entire Yun Cang Sword Sect who disliked their young sect leader.
But when he realized that Qi Fengyu's actions almost killed a fellow disciple, even though that person was Ge Gen, someone he disliked, he never intended to kill him.
More importantly, he didn't want to take the blame for others.
Even if it's the Cliff of Remembering Bitterness, it can be replaced by another.
But the Execution Platform... going there once will at least cost you half your life!
He didn't love Qi Fengyu to the point of risking his own life!
He had worked his way up to become a leading figure among the outer disciples, and he wanted to enter the inner sect with his younger brother and rise to a higher position!
“Junior Brother Shi, no one else can corroborate your testimony, and the person you accused has denied your claims.” Ji Mofan tilted his head and looked at Shi Rusi, who was stuck in the mire and unable to break free. “If you can’t produce more evidence, then I will have no choice but to send your soul lamp to the Execution Platform.”
"Don't worry, you won't die. It will only cause your soul to experience unbearable pain."
Shi Rusi was not comforted by Ji Mofan at all.
But he simply couldn't find any more evidence to prove that what he said was true.
Qi Fengyu did promise him benefits, but it was only a verbal promise and there was no actual record of it.
Besides that pile of maps...
You're so dense! Think of something already! Otherwise you'll be sent to the Execution Platform!
“It seems Junior Brother Shi needs some time to think about it.” Ji Mofan considerately gave him time to think, and then brought up another matter, “Xiao Yu, let’s talk about this pottery jar.”
"You recognized him as a Gu worm from the Southern Frontier at a glance. So, besides that, what else do you know?"
Qi Fengyu was 100% certain that Ji Mofan was lying to him.
When asking Shi Rusi for help, one must promise benefits, but when seeking out Li Geyue, no preconditions are required at all. As long as Qi Feng points with his fishing finger, this young master will immediately do as he is told, leaving no noteworthy inconsistencies.
