If it weren't for the unwavering certainty in Ji Mofan's words, and his instinctive feeling that someone like Ji Mofan wouldn't lie, let alone tell such a obviously pointless and unconvincing lie, he definitely wouldn't have believed a single word.
only......
"Why did you pick me out of the crowd?" Ji Yuze was still a little confused. "Besides, if you wanted to get any information out of the Supreme Venerable's servants, there were clearly many simpler and more direct methods. Why did you choose me?"
Using drugs to induce him to tell the truth, or simply torturing him, would be much easier than the method Ji Mofan suggested.
“Because you came to mind subconsciously,” Ji Mofan said.
Ji Yuze was slightly taken aback.
Then, for some reason, she suddenly stopped objecting and quietly lowered her head.
Ji Mofan didn't pay much attention to his reaction.
His answer wasn't nonsense; Ji Yuze was indeed "associated" with him.
When he entered Pingnan Pass, the first thing he saw was the bright green disciple robes of Changfeng Valley, so he subconsciously came up with an abstract solution centered on Fang Xian.
Fang Xian was not there.
So, following this abstract idea to its extreme, he came up with the idea of Ji Yuze.
It means that someone else suffered the consequences for another.
Xiaoling Sect was more deserted than ever before when Ji Mofan visited.
Those who stayed here were mostly in logistics, while most of the disciples were sent to the front lines.
With the sect leader's order, Ji Mofan led Ji Yuze freely through the Xiaoling Sect and easily found the location of the Supreme Venerable Hall.
Even though Qu Jin wasn't there, the barrier around the courtyard was still active.
"The Supreme Venerable One's servants must be sweeping and cleaning in his palace, how could they easily come out?" Ji Yuze muttered to himself.
Ji Mo Fan pondered for a moment.
Ji Yuze then saw him rummage through his Qiankun bag and pull out a wisp of blue flame.
His eyelid twitched violently.
He had seen Ji Mo Fan use this at the Dao Asking Conference!
It was unbearably cold to the touch, yet it was a ball of fire that burned everything it touched.
Ji Yuze swallowed hard. "What do you want to do?"
"Light a fire." Ji Mofan replied with three simple and blunt words.
Before Ji Yuze could react with a sharp bang to Ji Mofan's idea, Ji Mofan had already thrown the flame in his hand.
Although the Supreme Venerable Hall is enclosed within a barrier, there is no particularly clear dividing line between the inner and outer vegetation, and part of the outer area features plant landscaping that echoes the inner area.
The ice lotus fire couldn't penetrate the barrier, but it could still burn around it. Before long, many carefully cared-for plants were destroyed, a heartbreaking sight.
That one is a Jade Dew Mountain Peach, this one is a Phoenix Peony...
Ji Yuze couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How many spirit stones must that be?"
As expected of someone who can be the chief of a sect, he doesn't even regard spirit stones as spirit stones, how arrogant.
"They're out," Ji Mofan suddenly said softly.
Ji Yuze then withdrew his pained gaze and looked towards the gate of the Supreme Venerable Hall.
A young boy dressed in servant's clothes hurriedly pushed open the door, and was startled to see the fire burning outside. He quickly went back and fetched a large pile of water-controlling talismans, then ran outside the barrier and threw them in.
The moment his foot stepped out of the barrier's range, a wave of dizziness washed over him.
Xiao Jin felt the earth spin and the sky spun around him, then tilted upwards and slapped him on the forehead.
Before his consciousness faded, he saw the light of spiritual runes flowing before his eyes.
Ji Yuze was completely stunned. "You set up a formation at the entrance? When did you set it up?"
He stayed by Ji Mofan's side the whole time and didn't see him go that way at all.
Even when throwing out a spark, they do so from a distance, otherwise the barrier will detect it and alert the enemy.
"It's not like someone has to go there to set up the formation." Ji Mofan's tone was extremely calm. He got up and walked over, picking up a small piece of paper that had lost its spiritual energy from beside Xiao Jin.
Ji Yuze scratched his head and quickly followed him to his side, "When will he wake up?"
If you want to get any information out of Xiao Jin, you can only ask her when she's awake.
“It’s not about when he wakes up.” Ji Mofan suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Ji Yuze’s head. “It’s about you wanting to sleep with him.”
Ji Yuze's eyes suddenly widened, "No! Wait..."
Waiting for what? He couldn't bring himself to ask.
The halo of the illusion array lit up beneath their feet for a moment, then all the spiritual light disappeared into their bodies, vanishing into nothingness.
Ji Mofan grabbed Ji Yuze, preventing him from falling headfirst into the charred grass like Xiao Jin.
He then used his other hand to move the two of them to an inconspicuous corner behind the artificial hill.
He also extinguished the Ice Lotus Fire with the Water Control Talisman in Xiao Jin's hand, and he also found a jade pendant on Xiao Jin's body that didn't look like it was made of very expensive material.
It was completely uncarved, plain white, and made of the cheapest material. It was almost not jade at all, but just a regular big stone.
But holding this thing in your hand gives you an unpleasant feeling.
Ji Mo Fan frowned, barely managing to pinch the hanging rope with his fingernails and shove it against the barrier at the entrance of the Supreme Venerable Hall.
When the intertwined spiritual energy encountered this sign, it was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, creating ripples on the barrier and forming a gap around it large enough for one person to pass through.
