Chapter 69: One Foot Withdrawn



With his mind wandering, Ning Weisheng had finished speaking. Ji Mofan nodded, indicating that he had been listening attentively.

“There’s one more thing…” Ning Weisheng hesitated as he looked at Ji Mofan, “Senior Brother, when I saw you last time, you were so badly injured that you fainted. Are you feeling better now?”

Ji Mo Fanman casually sipped his tea.

"I won't die," he said. "Changfeng Valley wouldn't be so blatant as to attack me."

When Ning Weisheng heard this, he understood that Ji Mofan was currently suffering from internal injuries and was only putting on a brave face.

His eyes suddenly darkened considerably. "Senior Brother, when we get back I will ask Master for a pass to the Spirit Spring. Then you can go in and recuperate properly."

Not only did they replenish his supplies, but they also made no mention of confiscating Ji Mofan's spoils from the secret realm.

Ji Mofan, of course, did not refuse, but simply nodded sincerely and thanked him.

Gaining access to Lingquan with just one sentence is quite a bargain.

Ning Weisheng over there seemed to think it was a good deal too, and he left feeling quite lightheaded.

Ji Mofan closed the door again after he left.

The Yuncang Sword Sect is too rigid in this respect. To enter the spiritual spring of the Medical Peak, one must have a pass issued by an elder. Otherwise, even the sect leader's presence is useless.

This sacred spring is specifically for the use of disciples.

Each elder has only one token, and there is a fixed amount of time they can enter each month, which can only be less, not more.

Normally, Shen Yun would always give the time he had to Qi Fengyu.

This time, it seems all the effort will be put on Li Geyue.

The boy was seriously injured on the second day of his training and had to cut his journey short and return to the Sword Sect to recuperate. Shen Yun couldn't blame him for being useless, and he even had to spend resources to treat him.

They're probably furious inside.

As expected, when he returned to the mountain gate, the eight elders and their disciples were waiting outside, but Ji Mofan did not see Li Geyue.

I don't know if it's at the Cliff of Remembering Bitterness or at the Spirit Spring.

Having returned to his own sect, Ji Mofan stopped acting as a mascot and leaned back in the main chair as usual, leaving all the talking to Ning Weisheng.

To his surprise, this person didn't mention at all that Ji Mofan had left the group to be with Fang Xuan.

Moreover, none of the other disciples who participated in the training behind him raised any objections.

Ji Mofan was a little surprised, but only slightly, and soon stopped caring.

Regardless of the reason, it's a good thing for him anyway.

Ning Weisheng kept his promise and helped Ji Mofan get the opportunity to recuperate at the Spirit Spring from Ji Yunhong.

Then he himself turned around and went to Yiku Cliff.

Ji Mo Fanxin said that Ji Yunhong's actions were quite petty. It was just that his disciple helped the true disciples of other peak elders.

We're all from the Sword Sect, so why distinguish between yours and mine?

He couldn't guess that Ning Weisheng had volunteered to go and reflect on his actions, and the latter certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble for no reason.

However, on his way to the Spirit Spring, Ji Mo Fan encountered someone he didn't really want to see at that moment.

Upon returning to the Cloud Soaring Sword Sect, Ji Mo Fan's first priority was naturally to check on Ge Gen's cultivation progress. He chatted with the boy for a while, which took up a lot of time. By the time he had time to go to the Spirit Spring, it was already close to dusk.

The area around the spiritual spring is perpetually shrouded in dense spiritual energy, resulting in low visibility. Although Ji Mofan sensed as soon as he entered, there were other people recuperating inside.

But he didn't have any other thoughts. Although they were soaking in the spring, everyone was dressed and not being completely open with each other, so there was nothing to be shy about.

So much so that he took off his outer robe and stepped into the water before he finally realized that the person on the other side of the spring was Li Geyue.

As expected, Shen Yun couldn't bear to let this young master of the Li family go to the Cliff of Remembrance for arduous cultivation while seriously injured, so he still threw him to the Spirit Spring.

Ji Mofan immediately withdrew one foot and turned to leave the spiritual spring.

Anyway, he has plenty of free time now, and he can cultivate whenever he feels like it.

Being in the same space as Li Geyue made Ji Mofan afraid of being influenced by him, so he figured it would be more efficient to just find a random place outside to meditate.

"Senior Brother..." Li Geyue's weak voice sounded behind him.

Ji Mofan stopped in his tracks, tilting his head slightly to look over. "What is it?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Geyue's otherwise dim eyes.

He said that his senior brother wouldn't completely ignore him!

In the past, the senior brother had doted on him like a younger brother for more than four years!

In a large family like the Li family, the lack of kinship is a common problem. Although the branch of Li Geyue's family did not raise their children as extravagantly as the eldest son, Li Jinchu, the parents still often talked about hoping that their son would become a dragon.

The reason why he missed his parents every day when he first entered the sect, but later easily got over it with Ji Mofan's company, was because of this.

Ji Mofan was even more like a relative than his real parents.

"I... can't change the dressing on my back myself..." Li Geyue made up a very lame excuse.

This is Medical Peak; it wouldn't be too difficult to find a disciple here willing to serve the young master of the Li family.

Despite her weakened state, Li Geyue slowly moved from the other side of the spiritual spring to a position closer to Ji Mofan.

Ji Mofan just stared at him calmly, without saying a word for a long time.

"Senior Brother, please help me." Li Geyue softened her voice and begged him again.

Ji Mo Fan frowned almost imperceptibly, so quickly it was almost an illusion.
