One stone stirs up a thousand waves; from the moment someone shouted out Ji Mofan's name, the scene became uncontrollable.
Fang Xian, who was originally standing closest to Ji Mofan, was quickly pushed to the outer circle by the surging Changfeng Valley disciples.
The veins on his forehead were starting to throb faintly.
"No wonder he's ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking of the Dao Inquiry Tournament," he muttered resentfully.
Although Fang Xuan was in the arena of the Dao Asking Tournament at that time, whether it was because of the good atmosphere or because he had just had a good fight and was in a good mood, he was convinced of Ji Mo Fan at that moment.
But after the awards ceremony ended, he returned to Changfeng Valley with his fellow disciples, and locked himself in his room, feeling increasingly depressed about the matter.
Even though everyone else reassured him that it wasn't a big problem and that getting second place was already a great achievement, breaking the curse that had plagued Changfeng Valley for so many years, with no disciple ever making it onto the Heavenly Ranking of the Dao Inquiry Conference.
But Fang Xian himself just couldn't get over this hurdle.
Especially after seeing how his fellow disciples treated Ji Mofan differently today, he felt an even greater sense of pent-up anger rising in his chest.
I'm so angry, I really want to pin Ji Mofan's face to the ground and beat him up.
The young man, surrounded by the crowd, looked quite troubled. He politely dealt with the overly enthusiastic disciples of Changfeng Valley while his eyes kept darting around.
Upon seeing Fang Xuan standing there, a glint of light finally appeared in his eyes. "I'm here today to see your senior brother Fang Xuan about something."
His voice finally drew everyone's attention to Fang Xian, who was standing quietly at the edge.
Fang Xian was slightly taken aback.
He never expected that Ji Mofan would call out his name at this time.
After all, if it were him, although he wouldn't be as charming as Li Jinchu, who was like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, he would at least be willing to deal with them one by one.
However, Ji Mofan didn't care at all.
Moreover, despite being the center of attention, he focused his gaze on Fang Xian.
Well, rounding up, it seems everyone else is paying attention to Fang Xuan.
Thinking this way, my depressed mood seemed to improve a little.
Fang Xian looked up. "You're right, we have something to do."
Realizing that this ambiguous response indicated an unwillingness to reveal too much about their purpose, the Changfeng Valley disciples surrounding Ji Mofan tactfully dispersed.
Ji Mofan was finally able to walk up to Fang Xuan without any obstacles, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I have to say, your disciples are a little too enthusiastic."
They almost carried him away.
Seeing Ji Mofan's utterly hopeless expression, Fang Xuan shamelessly scoffed.
But despite his laughter, he didn't forget what he had to do, and led Ji Mo Fan to find his master.
When the two children came to his door, Li Mingyin was huddled in his alchemy room, fiddling around and leaving only a furtive figure at the door.
"Master, I'm coming in." Fang Xian's greeting was just a formality; by the time he finished speaking, his robes had already brushed past the threshold.
Ji Mofan paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't act recklessly like him. He politely greeted him before entering the room.
Hearing them enter, Li Mingyin turned his back and stuffed his belongings into his clothes before slowly getting up, turning around, and straightening his clothes.
"How many times have I told you? You have to knock before you come in," Li Mingyin reprimanded Fang Xuan with a stern face. "What if your master is with his Daoist partner right now?"
"A Daoist partner? Here?" Fang Xuan bluntly expressed his two questions.
"From the day you took me as your disciple, you've been clamoring to find a Daoist partner to spend the rest of your life with. But now it's been almost ten years, and you still haven't had a female cultivator with whom you can spend more than three months."
"Why don't you relax the requirements a bit? Why be so strict about gender? Why don't you look at the male cultivator market?"
"And with the conditions of your alchemy room, with furnace ash and medicinal herbs scattered everywhere, let alone a Daoist partner, even a dog would go limp in here."
Li Mingyin was thoroughly annoyed by his sharp retorts, but surprisingly, his complexion didn't turn too bad. This was probably because the two of them had gotten used to bickering each other over the years.
"That's exactly why we have to restrict it by gender. Otherwise, what if you try to rebel against your superiors?"
"...Reading some novels about master-disciple relationships is better than anything else, whether you're young or old."
Ji Mofan hesitated whether to cover his ears.
After several rounds of back-and-forth arguing, Li Mingyin finally had time to look at Ji Mofan, who had been standing silently to the side.
Then his eyes lit up, and he walked over to take Ji Mofan's hand, saying, "Young friend, you look very familiar."
Ji Mo Fan suddenly shivered, goosebumps crawling all over his back.
"Elder Li, I am Ji Mofan." His forced smile was twitching. "You represented Changfeng Valley at this year's Dao Inquiry Conference, right? I saw you on the viewing platform during the competition."
"Oh! Right! You're that little guy!" Li Mingyin pretended to suddenly realize something, but actually his mind was blank. While shaking hands with Ji Mofan, he also took the opportunity to touch Ji Mofan's palm during the swaying. "Hey, when I saw you come out, I knew you were a promising kid."
Ji Mofan immediately pulled his hand back as if he had been burned.
He cast a suspicious glance at Fang Xian, his eyes flashing with blatant accusation.
Could this person be trying to get revenge on him for winning the Daoist Tournament by assigning him a troublesome guy to handle his treatment?
Fang Xuan rarely showed a hint of embarrassment. He coughed twice and said, "Don't look at me like that. My master's medical skills are very impressive."
"If you don't believe me, you can have him examine you first?"
