Shen Yun rambled on and on, not mentioning anything else, only talking about Qi Yuan.
He also understood that for Ji Mofan now, nothing in the past of Yun Cang Sword Sect was worth his time to think about.
Aside from Qi Yuan, the old sect leader was the only person he cared about.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "You just won first place on the Heavenly Ranking at the Dao Inquiry Conference, and you're riding high right now. If you were to speak up for the Yun Cang Sword Sect, the other sects in the cultivation world would certainly stop targeting the Yun Cang Sword Sect."
"Xiao Fan, what do you think?"
Ji Mofan listened silently, then suddenly chuckled softly, "Elder Shen really knows how to avoid the important issues."
Shen Yun's already pale complexion worsened, "I just..."
"Do you want to repeat the same old tricks, constantly mentioning the kindness the Yun Cang Sword Sect has shown me, so that I'll feel grateful and keep overdrawing myself to repay the sect?" Ji Mo Fan had no interest in listening to his nonsense and directly raised his hand to interrupt him.
I thought that after so many things, Shen Yun would have matured a bit and said some nice things that I wanted to hear.
I didn't expect that I had overestimated him; Shen Yun is still the same Shen Yun.
What's ingrained in one's bones can't be changed.
“Elder Shen, it is true that I was saved by the Yun Cang Sword Sect, and I am willing to dedicate everything to the sect,” Ji Mo Fan said. “But this is not a reason for the sect to take my efforts for granted and to criticize me when they think I have not done enough.”
"Even if you want me to repay a debt of gratitude, how many opportunities have I brought to the sect over the past ten years? During my four years as chief, was there a single thing I did improperly?"
“Even if I was kind to you, I have already repaid that debt long ago.”
Shen Yun felt a chill on his forehead and couldn't help but wipe away the thin layer of sweat that had seeped out.
He knew from the moment he walked in that playing the emotional card wouldn't work, but he still had to give it a try.
But since Ji Mo Fan had already said all that, he had no choice but to change his tune, "What conditions would you want for me to help you?"
A hint of satisfaction finally flashed across Ji Mofan's eyes.
That's right.
There's no sentimentality left between him and the Yuncang Sword Sect. If you want him to take action, forget about feelings and just offer him something of value.
Let's discuss what benefits the Yun Cang Sword Sect can offer him.
*
Ji Mofan's return to the Yun Cang Sword Sect this time was a legitimate and aboveboard move.
He hadn't left through that proper mountain gate for a long time.
Last time I came to find Shen Yun, I sneaked in through a weak point in the sect's defenses;
The last time he left the sect, he was essentially kicked out, and he left through the West Mountain Gate on the other side.
The time before last, he even grabbed Li Geyue and flew away on his sword.
Those previous visits all ended in various unexpected events, but today was different. He was invited back by the Yun Cang Sword Sect as an honored guest.
The main hall of the Yuncang Sword Sect was packed with people today.
The eight elders were ranked according to seniority, with their disciples standing behind them. They had been waiting for quite some time, but not a single person had voiced any complaints.
They waited until almost noon before a figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
Everyone's gaze instinctively turned to that side, but upon seeing who it was, their expressions changed several times in an instant.
Yan Qishi almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This kid... he's got guts.
Returning to his old employer, Yun Cang Sword Sect, he was still wearing the twilight-colored disciple robes from Chaoming Hall.
Like the Yuncang Sword Sect, the inner disciples of the Chaoming Hall have the privilege of not wearing school uniforms.
Ji Mo Fan had been dressed like this for the past few days, which could be said to be because he had no choice but to comply with the requirements of the Dao Asking Conference.
But if he dresses like this when he goes back to his hometown today, then he's completely slapping people in the face.
After all, everyone knows that before leaving the Yuncang Sword Sect, Ji Mofan had been unwilling to wear the Yuncang Sword Sect's disciple robes for a long time.
This behavior is undoubtedly a demonstration of her determination that she will never turn back.
Some people present who had tried to appeal to his emotions shut up and swallowed their unspoken words.
Ji Mo Fan has already expressed his attitude. If they were to clash with him now, wouldn't they just be asking for trouble?
Shen Yun, as an elder, even followed behind Ji Mofan.
He sat down in a chair near the edge of the main hall, his gaze sweeping over the others present and the true disciples standing behind them. He didn't speak, his gaze returning to his fingertips resting on his knees.
"Elders, it's been a long time. You all look as radiant as ever," Ji Mofan said with a smile.
One sentence was enough to make everyone feel like they were about to burst.
Still as charming as ever?
The Yuncang Sword Sect has been dealing with a series of troubles lately, and everyone is so busy that they have no time to take care of their appearance. Today, in order to evoke Ji Mofan's sympathy, they even deliberately made themselves look more haggard.
Jimo Fan now says they're still as charming as ever?
Who are you cursing!
Ji Mo Fan seemed completely unaware of what he had said. He walked through the main hall and stepped up the stairs.
—He sat directly in the main seat in the very center.
Immediately, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Ji Mofan, that's a seat only the sect leader can sit in."
Ji Mofan glanced at him lightly, "The sect leader can sit, but the chief disciple can't? When I was the chief disciple of the Yun Cang Sword Sect, didn't I always sit here when I discussed matters with you all?"
The elder who had just spoken fell silent.
Ji Mofan didn't used to sit in this position very often.
Because Qi Fengyu was often present during the meetings, he always considered the feelings of this young sect leader.
But later, during the time before he left the sect, every time he went to the main hall, he would lean back in the main seat with a nonchalant attitude and speak to them in a flippant tone.
His attitude was arrogant and unreasonable; I wonder what shady characters he learned it from.
Ji Mofan didn't hear his inner grumbling, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.
To say he was presumptuous and unreasonable? That's because they haven't seen anyone sit more presumptuously in the main seat.
If we bring Xiao Wangyan over here to teach them a lesson, they'll all behave themselves.
“Ji Mo Fan, you are mistaken.” It was Ji Yunhong who was the first to stand up and challenge him.
Ning Weisheng's eyes were filled with despair. His master, as always, refused to listen to advice and insisted on speaking up.
“In the past, you sat there as the chief disciple of my Yun Cang Sword Sect,” Ji Yunhong said. “But today you are a guest invited by the Yun Cang Sword Sect, a true disciple of the Chaoming Hall. It is inappropriate for you to sit there, both in terms of manners and reason.”
"Elder Ji's words show his ignorance."
Ji Mofan looked up, about to speak, but before he could even open his mouth, a woman's voice interrupted him.
Seeing Yan Qishi wink at him with a smile, Ji Mofan leaned back comfortably in his chair.
He came today to collect the benefits Shen Yun had promised him, not to fight or show off.
He'd rather sit on the sidelines and watch the fun than bother to get involved.
