Ji Mofan used to manage many things for Qi Fengyu, but that was because he was the senior disciple of the Yun Cang Sword Sect.
Although Ji Mo Fan Hua spent a lot of time with Qi Feng Yu, Qi Feng Yu's relationship with almost everyone was just as good.
It's not that hard to understand, after all, everyone else has sect affairs to attend to and their own cultivation to do.
However, Qi Fengyu was in poor health, which caused him to fall behind his peers in cultivation. As the young sect leader, he held only a nominal position and did not actually have any work.
Unlike others who spend all day in the training ground with a sword, he has plenty of time to socialize, which naturally makes him the most popular person in the entire Yun Cang Sword Sect.
However, Qi Fengyu always maintained a distant relationship with everyone. Even when Ji Mofan first heard about the Dao Couple Ceremony in his previous life, he was startled by Qi Fengyu.
Because he never expected that Qi Fengyu would have different thoughts about him than others.
Although the final outcome proved that this difference was different in another sense.
When the news of this life was first announced to everyone, quite a few people came to ask Ji Mofan, both openly and secretly, what exactly was going on.
"If it's because we couldn't hold the final Dao Couple Ceremony before..." With that thought, Ji Mofan looked up and said, "It has nothing to do with feelings. We became Dao Couples back then only because of Qi Fengyu's injuries."
"If he can unite with me, he can repair his damaged body to the greatest extent possible."
Ning Weisheng looked at Ji Mofan with a slightly complicated expression, "But the young sect leader probably doesn't think that way."
"He was unable to get out of bed for a long time after the incident, and his consciousness was also in a daze. In his sleep talking, he mentioned many people, and the one he mentioned most often was Ji Mo Fan, your name."
Ji Mo Fanxin thought to himself that this ingrate was probably just thinking about the inner core that had been stolen from him in his previous life.
He also sucked blood from others, but Ji Mofan was undoubtedly the biggest one among them.
However, upon first gaining memories of his past life, he felt that his body was vastly different from that of his previous life, and he couldn't accept it for a while, so it was normal for others who didn't know the truth to think he was talking in his sleep.
Thinking of this, Ji Mofan shook his head, "No matter what he thinks, I haven't seen Qi Fengyu for a long time."
Since the Daoist Couple Ceremony before heading to the Demon Realm, Ji Mo Fan has never seen Qi Feng Yu again.
When he last returned to the Yun Cang Sword Sect and erased his and Ge Gen's names from the sect's roster, Qi Fengyu also claimed to be ill and did not go out, so he did not see anyone.
However, Ji Mofan felt that Ning Weisheng's suggestion that Qi Fengyu might come looking for him made sense.
After all, in his previous life, the last step he took to restore his body was to steal Ji Mofan's inner core, so it's only natural that he would have the same idea in this life.
They grew up together and have known each other for over ten years. Ji Mo Fan understands Qi Feng Yu's thoughts, and Qi Feng Yu naturally feels the same way.
He knew that after Ji Mofan finished dealing with the current messy affairs, he would definitely take action against him to settle the grudges from his previous life.
Therefore, he must first conceal his whereabouts and then strike first.
Both sides are well aware that things have reached a point where they are locked in a life-or-death struggle.
How could Qi Fengyu possibly stay in the open and wait for Ji Mofan to come seeking revenge?
"Junior Brother Jimo, are you really not clear about this?" Ning Weisheng suddenly asked again.
Ji Mofan looked up and met his gaze, receiving a look from someone with somewhat dark eyes.
“If I remember correctly,” Ning Weisheng continued, “you used to call the young sect leader ‘Xiao Yu’, right?”
Ji Mo Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.
He himself didn't even notice that he had unconsciously changed how he addressed Qi Fengyu.
“…Senior Brother Ning is mistaken.” He lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions welling up within them. “I only use his nickname when we are face to face; I don’t use it when we are with outsiders.”
Even so, he wouldn't address him by his given name directly. At worst, he would still be called "Young Sect Master"—Ning Weisheng wanted to say, but he swallowed his words back.
He could tell that Ji Mofan was unwilling to go into details about the matter.
Moreover, Ji Mofan wasn't the only one whose way of addressing others changed; Qi Fengyu was also addressed by his given name instead of "Senior Brother."
The problem is... with such a big person missing, the sect is putting a lot of pressure on him.
The most pressing concern is Qi Fengyu's seclusion as sect leader, leaving the position of chief capable of fulfilling his duties vacant. The younger generation of the Yun Cang Sword Sect has yet to mature, and Ning Weisheng is the most capable among them.
Before leaving, Ji Mofan left behind a huge amount of work, and now more than half of it has fallen on his shoulders.
Since returning from the Demon Realm, Ning Weisheng has been extremely busy, even missing the important opening ceremony of the Dao Inquiry Conference. He has been running around to various places where he is needed every day, looking for people while also handling sect affairs.
He now felt that his past jealousy of Ji Mofan being so much younger than him yet being able to surpass him to become the chief should have been brutally murdered.
Being a chief executive officer is a job that no human being can do!
This is already the result of having already removed nearly half of the burden that Ji Mofan carried during his tenure. Ning Weisheng dared not imagine that if all the work were piled on his shoulders in parallel, he would probably not just be emaciated now, but rather squeezed into a dried-up corpse.
"...In short, I still want to ask you to pay attention recently." Ning Weisheng rubbed his already messy hair. "Before the young sect leader disappeared, the name he mentioned most often was yours."
"If he shows up and comes looking for you, I would like you to send me a message to let me know."
After saying this, Ning Weisheng bowed to Ji Mofan and then turned and left.
Ji Mofan watched his figure disappear from the spot with a crushed teleportation talisman. He stood there for a while, then turned and headed in the opposite direction from the players' rest area.
I was originally planning to wait until I finished my own business before dealing with that ingrate.
Ning Weisheng brought some good news.
He said that his luck had improved since his rebirth, and that someone would immediately offer him a pillow when he was sleepy.
No, this time the pillow practically delivered itself to my door.
*
The Yuncang Sword Sect has become much quieter recently.
The most talented group of the younger generation has been taken to participate in the Dao Inquiry Conference, and a considerable number of them also went to the scene as spectators. There are not many disciples left in the sect, so the elders simply gave everyone a holiday.
Shen Yun has not shown his face for more than a month.
Since the last time Ji Mofan and Qi Fengyu held their Dao Couple Ceremony, which was the last time he took charge of resolving a problem, he has never exercised his rights as an elder again.
During this period, he was nominally in seclusion preparing for the breakthrough to the next level, but only he himself knew that what he needed to solve was not the bottleneck in spiritual power cultivation, but his inner demons.
He had never paid attention to these problems before, but only realized after the incident that everything had been foreshadowed.
