Ji Mofan heard the child's faint cries of pain, but his movements as he applied the medicine were precise and quick, effectively treating the wound.
The bandage wrapped around him again and again. He reached around Li Geyue's shoulders and back, tore off the long bandage, and skillfully tied a neat knot in a position that wouldn't hinder his movement.
Ji Mofan used to get injured every day, so he could easily bandage these simple external wounds.
The main reason is that he himself doesn't really want to be in close contact with Li Geyue for a long time.
Especially considering that he had previously shown her inappropriate feelings, just like Ning Weisheng.
Ji Mofan didn't care whether his actions would cause them any other thoughts, because he had ways to prevent them from actually doing anything improper.
Li Ge squeezed her fingers so hard she felt like she was about to break the bones.
All I could hear was my own heartbeat, the sound of the spring water flowing, and the faint rustling of bandages against my skin.
His senses were inexplicably amplified to an unimaginable degree. He closed his eyes and slowly took a deep breath.
My fingertips moved slightly in the water, creating barely perceptible ripples.
"Splash—"
"Ugh...! Senior Brother!"
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Ji Mofan, and her wrist bones were squeezed painfully. Li Geyue could almost hear the joints cracking.
"It hurts so much..." he cried out in pain.
"What do you want to do?" Ji Mo Fan remained unmoved by his feigned pitifulness, his face still showing little expression, his half-closed eyes fixed on every expression on his face.
Li Geyue was still holding a small black insect whose name she couldn't identify.
Ji Mofan recognized it at a glance; it was the unknown Gu worm he had brought out from the Dark Aura Secret Realm.
"I...I just caught a little bug I didn't recognize and wanted to show it to my senior brother..." Li Geyue told lies that even she didn't believe, her voice getting softer and softer until it disappeared into the air.
Ji Mofan made no comment, but simply stared at him quietly.
Li Geyue gritted her teeth and refused to confess.
"Smack!"
His head was suddenly submerged in the spiritual spring water, and the rich spiritual energy rushed towards him, but at this moment, Li Geyue couldn't care less about absorbing even a bit. The feeling of suffocation overwhelmed his entire soul.
Ji Mofan grabbed him by the top of his head and ruthlessly pushed him into the water.
He swallowed several mouthfuls of water before the force on his head finally subsided. Li Ge struggled free, coughing repeatedly to catch his breath.
"I'll ask you one more time," the little insect that he had been holding in his hand was now in Ji Mofan's hand, "what exactly is this thing?"
"Yes...yes..." Li Ge stammered for a long time, unable to speak. After hesitating for a while, seeing that Ji Mofan was about to push him into the water again, he quickly shrank his neck and blurted out everything he knew.
"This is the Love Poison! It was Xiao Yu who gave me a treasure map and asked me to find it for him in the Misty Realm!"
Ji Mofan did not loosen his grip on the top of his head.
Based on his understanding of the kid, he was clearly not lying.
But Ji Mofan never expected that Li Geyue would actually try to plant this thing in his body.
What was also unexpected was that Qi Fengyu would actually instruct him to find such a thing for him.
After all, given his character and appearance, cultivators who could resist his charm and not go through fire and water for him would be extremely rare in the entire cultivation world.
The birth of Jimo Fan in this life was purely accidental.
...So, could it be that Qi Fengyu also sought out this Love Poison Gu for Ji Mofan?
What about their past lives? Did they search for them secretly as well?
Did you... also use it on yourself?
However, his single-minded and selfless attitude in his previous life seemed to be bewitched by something.
Ji Mofan had never practiced Gu magic and did not know how a person would react after being infected by Gu. He only roughly knew the effects of the Love Gu.
The "Love Gu" is, as the name suggests, a worm that causes the recipient to develop an uncontrollable, love-like emotion towards the person who cast the worm.
It's already unbelievable that Li Geyue didn't hand the item over to Qi Fengyu, but kept it for herself. Now she actually wants to use it on Ji Mofan.
Does he not care about his own future? He'd rather be tied to a chief disciple with no background who might not even live to become the sect leader.
Did some donkey kick his brain and break it?
"Senior Brother, I was bewitched..." Li Ge swallowed hard.
Whether it was because Ji Mofan had seen through him or not, he simply gave up and his pitiful expression, which had been so contrived, disappeared, replaced by his usual arrogant demeanor.
"But it's all your fault! Who told you to suddenly abandon me like this!"
Well, I was too hasty in criticizing you.
This donkey looks like himself.
Ji Mofan was almost laughing out of anger at him.
"Junior brother, tell me, why should I have to care about you?" He grabbed a tuft of hair on Li Geyue's head with considerable force, forcing him to lower his head to speak to him.
"What is my relationship with you? I have no obligation to discipline you, and you have never been polite to me. Since you have shown no respect or affection, why should I be kind to you?"
Li Ge glared at him, her neck stiff.
"That's all thanks to my senior brother's teaching!" he said matter-of-factly. "Who told my senior brother to never teach me how to properly interact with others when I was little!"
"This is not my fault!"
Ji Mo Fan chuckled softly.
Her eyes were narrowed, and though her gentle features were devoid of warmth, they were filled with a chilling cold. The spring water, which should have been warm, now made Li Ge, who was immersed in it, feel an icy chill.
It felt like being thrown onto a cliff of bitter memories.
"Junior brother, how old are you now?" Ji Mofan looked at him, a crystal drop of water sliding off his hair. It must have been splashed on him when Li Geyue was struggling. It splashed into the water around them, and the sound of the ripples was deafening.
"You're already sixteen. Do you remember how old your senior brother was when you first joined the Yun Cang Sword Sect?"
Li Geyue's eyebrows twitched several times, clearly visible to the naked eye.
Four years ago, Ji Mo Fan was the same age he is now.
But at the age of sixteen, Ji Mofan was already at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and was invincible among his peers in the Yun Cang Sword Sect.
In contrast, Li Geyue's cultivation had barely broken through to the Golden Core stage.
Not to mention comparing himself to his peers, he even worries that in a few years he will be left far behind by the young disciple that Ji Mo Fan has recently taken in.
That's why he had wicked thoughts when he got his hands on the Love Potion.
