"This is out of concern for you, in case anything unexpected happens..."
Before Ji Mofan could finish speaking, Li Geyue suddenly took a step closer to him, "Senior Brother, you just want to get rid of me, this troublesome person."
"When I learned that you were going to hurt yourself to treat Xiaoyu, I was so anxious that I even risked my life to run back to the sect. Can't you even give me a second glance?"
"Li Geyue," Ji Mofan rarely called him by his full name, "you're not lucid right now."
"Calm down."
"Why can't you just look at me one more time!" His words not only failed to calm Li Ge down, but instead became a catalyst.
Dark red demonic energy, like flames, was burning and coiling around Li Geyue.
The heatwave almost licked the red wedding ribbons that decorated the surrounding area.
Ji Mofan's eyes flickered.
These things aren't heat-resistant.
Most of the items in Qi Fengyu's house have some defensive properties, so even if Li Geyue were to burn them, they wouldn't catch fire too quickly.
But these wedding ribbons were only temporarily arranged for today; they were just ordinary strips of cloth.
It will catch fire at the slightest touch.
Ji Mofan's silence made Li Geyue's already precarious mental state even more unstable. His inner demons were rampant in his mind, and ghostly auditory hallucinations came and went. His willpower was clearly at a disadvantage in the battle against his desires.
His heartbeat was viciously suppressed by the Gu worms, and a fine pain spread throughout his limbs and bones, tormenting him until his last nerve snapped.
“...I beg you, look at me.”

"Senior Brother really said he wants to be alone in his room for a while." Qi Fengyu was almost frantic. "Senior Brother Ning, don't go and disturb him!"
What's wrong with Ning Weisheng, that drunkard! Didn't Ji Yunhong tie up his shameful disciple?
It's one thing to cause a scene in front of so many people at the ceremony, but what's with coming to their room now?
"I just want to apologize to my senior brother in person." Ning Weisheng was very stubborn. He was already big, and his strength was far superior to Qi Fengyu's.
Now, weakened by alcohol and unable to listen to anyone, Qi Fengyu alone cannot stop him.
Qi Fengyu wavered between continuing to futilely try to stop people and running out to ask others for help.
He had just been tormented by Li Geyue's demonic energy. Not only were his clothes disheveled and the makeup he used to cover his injuries gone, but he also hadn't had time to wash off the demonic aura on his body.
In other words, Ning Weisheng was currently intoxicated and his mind was completely focused on Ji Mofan, so he didn't have time to notice Qi Fengyu's abnormality beside him. If it were anyone else who was sober, they would have realized what was wrong in no time.
But since Ji Mofan had just been defending Li Geyue, he couldn't hold her back.
So what exactly is wrong with Ning Weisheng?
"Senior Brother definitely doesn't want to see you!" Reasoning failed, and brute force was used in large quantities. Qi Fengyu lost his patience and abandoned his usual easy-going demeanor. He almost wanted to draw his sword in front of Ning Weisheng.
"...He doesn't want to see me." A thoughtless remark seemed to have an unexpected effect, and Ning Weisheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the house covered in red decorations, Ning Weisheng finally stopped his reckless charge. He took two steps back and stopped under the corridor.
"Young Sect Master, could you please go and tell Senior Brother?" he said.
Qi Fengyu silently breathed a sigh of relief, then raised it again.
Ning Weisheng stopped making a scene, but when he was asked to return to his room and face Li Geyue, whose emotions were clearly off...
Qi Fengyu swallowed hard.
There was no other way; in order to stop Ning Weisheng from causing trouble, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk toward the door.
"Senior Brother?" After knocking three times, Qi Fengyu asked, "Senior Brother Ning came to see you and said he has something to tell you."
After waiting for two seconds, Qi Fengyu asked curiously, "Senior Brother, are you inside?"
An ominous premonition spread uncontrollably through his heart, and his mind suddenly went blank for a moment.
How could I have let Ji Mofan face a demonic cultivator who was clearly out of control in a confined space?
Even if Ji Mofan has the Love Gu, and even if the other party is Li Geyue, he is still a demonic cultivator!
His mind wasn't focused on much, so he raised his hand, intending to force the door open. But the door seemed glued shut, refusing to budge no matter how hard he tried.
"Senior Brother!"
"Young Sect Master, please move aside."
A warm-colored figure suddenly appeared beside Qi Fengyu. The figure spoke with some consideration for Qi Fengyu's status as the young sect leader, but the actions were much rougher, and the figure shoved Qi Fengyu aside.
Qi Fengyu staggered a few steps as a result, but at this moment he didn't care at all, he just stared anxiously at the closed door in front of him.
"Splash!"
The door, along with the barrier, shattered under Ning Weisheng's attack. Dazzling demonic energy, accompanied by rolling heat waves, surged out from the breach, tearing apart the sky above.
Black smoke billowed into the sky, obscuring half of the setting sun.
"Don't come in!"
Ji Mofan's voice came from the thick black smoke that made it almost impossible to see the interior furnishings, waking up Qi Fengyu who was standing stunned at the door.
"Senior Brother Ning, hurry and help Senior Brother! Li Geyue is inside!" He quickly pushed Ning Weisheng beside him, "I'm going to the main hall to find someone to come over."
As Ning Weisheng's figure disappeared into the black smoke and flames, Qi Fengyu disregarded his own injuries and the words of the Medical Peak Elder, who warned him not to easily activate his spiritual power, lest it leave permanent aftereffects. He immediately activated his sword and rushed towards the main hall at top speed.
