The audience members had different thoughts, but Ji Mofan, sitting in the main seat, had a blank mind.
Shen Yun may have been right about one thing: those who cultivate themselves should abstain from the seven emotions and six desires.
He'd only been back for less than half a day, and he was already missing the food at Changfeng Valley.
Although Fang Xian had stolen those things and only then gave him the opportunity to indulge in sensual pleasures.
The disciples of Changfeng Valley all knew that Ji Mofan was recuperating in the sect because he had been injured by Senior Brother Fang.
They didn't have any objections to this truly talented chief disciple from the neighboring sect; rather, they mostly admired him.
So, instead of being harassed as others had expected, he actually had a more comfortable time there than at his own sect.
The senior brother who was in charge of watching over the spirit beasts only came on the first day. After learning about it on the second day, he stopped paying attention to Fang Xuan's little tricks.
Even though he could have gone in directly through the main gate, Fang Xian stubbornly preferred to crawl through the fence.
Ji Mofan couldn't understand what Fang Xuan was thinking either. Perhaps geniuses like them always have some extraordinary qualities.
Just like how he used to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to the Yuncang Sword Sect.
After listening to the elders and disciples discuss for a long time without understanding anything, Ji Mofan's patience was almost exhausted. He pressed his forehead and suddenly stood up from his seat.
The discussion suddenly subsided, and everyone's attention turned to him.
As a result, Ji Mofan, with a deathly pale face, fell straight down under this gaze.
*
Opening his eyes, Ji Mofan found himself back in his bamboo house.
His feigned fainting in the main hall just now terrified many people, after all, in everyone's eyes, Chief Ji Mofan was an indestructible iron man.
This was the first time she had shown such a vulnerable and helpless state. Her emotions in that instant were impossible to conceal, and Ji Mofan took them all in.
He still finds it funny when he thinks about it.
"Senior Brother, you're awake."
Li Geyue's voice came from the direction of the door. He walked over and handed a bowl of medicine that smelled extremely bitter to Ji Mofan.
"Here, drink it quickly, Master asked me to bring it to you."
Ji Mofan slowly sat up from the bed, lifted his eyelids and looked up at him.
The young boy looked unwilling. Those who knew him would say he had just brewed a bowl of medicine, but those who didn't would think he had been punished by running three laps around Yuncang Mountain.
Ji Mofan was too lazy to argue with him and casually pushed away the medicine he had brought, saying, "I don't need it, I'm fine."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "There's no need to waste medicinal herbs on me."
He's already acted very arrogantly in front of everyone today, so it's necessary for him to say a few more words to soften his stance and rebuild his previous public image.
Although Ji Mofan was completely unaware that his current actions were actually not at all out of line.
After all, in any sect other than the Yuncang Sword Sect, there is no situation where the chief disciple must obey the elders of the sect.
Even Shen Yun, who picked up Ji Mo Fan and took him as his disciple, was theoretically only on par with the chief disciple.
Ji Mo Fan respected him, so he was Ji Mo Fan's master. If Ji Mo Fan were to be disloyal, no one could accuse him of disrespecting his teacher.
That's how high the chief's status is.
When the sect leader is absent, he is the de facto leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect.
"As if someone's happy to serve you." Li Geyue was angered by his words again. "Drink it or don't, it's your own illness anyway."
He slammed the medicine bowl down beside Ji Mofan's bed, spilling the liquid and leaving brown spots on the bedding.
The porcelain bowl rolled halfway around, slid off the edge of the bed, and shattered with a crash.
Ji Mo Fan raised an eyebrow.
The heavy and icy pressure of the Nascent Soul stage descended suddenly, forcing Li Geyue to groan and slam her knee heavily onto the ground.
I can't stand it at all, what a bunch of unlucky kids.
The parents aren't managing their children properly, so he, as their senior, is taking over.
"Junior brother, have you forgotten what I told you last time?"
He threw back the covers, his feet dangling off the edge of the bed, his bare feet stepping on the cold bluestone floor.
Frost spread from his toes, freezing all the way to Li Geyue's knees as he knelt.
The sharp pain felt like thousands of needles piercing her bones at once, and Li Geyue's face immediately turned pale, her lower lip bleeding from being bitten so hard.
fear.
For the first time, Li Geyue felt fear when facing her usually gentle senior brother.
In reality, he only knelt there for a moment, but it felt like millions of years had passed.
He couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.
It's not just because of the pressure of being a whole level apart.
"Squeak—"
The old wooden door creaked loudly, and at the same time the sound appeared, all the pain in Li Geyue's body vanished completely.
He subconsciously looked up at Ji Mofan, only to see that the other man still had the same gentle expression he always had, with a slight smile on his lips, looking in the direction behind him.
"Master, Xiaoyu, you've arrived," Ji Mofan said.
Shen Yun pushed open the door and saw his little apprentice kneeling by Ji Mofan's bedside. His eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
"Geyue, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Master, I accidentally dropped the medicine bowl, and my junior brother is cleaning it up for me." Ji Mofan lied without changing his expression.
"Right? Junior brother?"
Faced with his gentle face, Li Geyue couldn't muster any other thoughts at this moment, and could only nod hurriedly.
He silently lowered his head to pick up the broken pieces on the ground, trying to hide his panic.
