The Daoist Couple Ceremony in this life was held much earlier than in the previous life.
During the preparation phase, Ji Mofan once again took on the main responsibility all by himself.
The difference is that in his previous life, Qi Fengyu was most likely faking illness, but this time he was genuinely injured.
Anyway, whether he's sick or not, he won't work properly. When Li Geyue lost control and attacked him that time, Ji Mofan didn't genuinely protect him. He only pulled Li Geyue away after he succeeded, just in case someone died.
Having the memories of his past life, Ji Mofan was able to make the same arrangements more easily this time.
Without those inexplicable injuries, these jobs would be nothing.
"Why did you suddenly decide to become a Daoist couple?" Fang Xian held the invitation that Ji Mo Fan had given him and casually twirled it between his fingers.
"And the object of his affections is that famous young sect leader of your sect who is good for nothing except for his good looks."
"Are you also the type to judge people by their appearance?"
A barrage of questions was thrown at him, but Ji Mofan simply lowered his head to count the ingredients from the transaction with Fang Xian, showing no intention of answering.
Qi Fengyu asked him not to tell anyone the truth about the Dao Couple Ceremony, and Ji Mofan felt the same way, not wanting to cause any further trouble.
"Speaking of good looks, don't you have several cultivators with water elemental roots in your sect?" Fang Xuan was used to talking to himself most of the time in front of Ji Mofan. He held the invitation card and folded it into a paper crane in a short while.
"You must be really hungry. How about I bring you two more chickens next time?"
The red paper crane was entwined with cyan spiritual energy, and the paper fluttered gently as it swirled around Fang Xian's hand a few times.
It landed on Ji Mofan's head with a thud.
Then it was casually slapped away by Ji Mo Fan.
"The way you're talking makes it sound like you've taken a fancy to one of our sect's cultivators." He glanced up at Fang Xuan.
"If you have any ideas, just tell me directly, no need to beat around the bush."
After scrutinizing Fang Xian for a while, he honestly found it hard to imagine what kind of person Fang Xian could care about for a long time.
Fang Xian hasn't been seen with the little yellow dog that Ji Mofan kept in his yard when he went to Changfeng Valley lately.
On one occasion, I happened to run into Senior Brother Li, who was in charge of the animal shed. He casually asked and learned that the little thing had been taken away by another junior sister to raise.
It would be a disaster to let this person raise any living creature. It is said that when the junior sister found Little Yellow, the poor thing was squatting in front of a wild boar that was many times bigger than itself, looking dazed.
Who knows where Fang Xian hunted those monsters to feed him?
Little Yellow took a bite, and the wild boar's HP decreased by 1.
They did manage it, but not completely.
They won't starve to death, that's all.
"No, don't slander people." Fang Xian quickly waved his hand at him, "Why are you making wild guesses like those gossipy people?"
"Hmm?" Ji Mofan asked in confusion, "Who else? What are you guessing?"
"Does your Sword Sect have a disciple with a water elemental root, surnamed Lin?" Fang Xuan casually leaned to the side, standing with his arms crossed at an angle.
"Lin Ju'an?"
The Yuncang Sword Sect has quite a few disciples with water-elemental roots, but among them, only Lin Ju'an has the surname Lin.
"That's what the name sounds like... I don't remember, it's not important." Fang Xuan scratched his head. "I don't even know who this person is. I don't know where the rumor started, but people are saying that I have some kind of secret relationship with him."
Jimo is bustling and difficult to navigate, leaving one feeling lost and bewildered.
"Where does it all come from?" he asked.
"You haven't heard anything about it?" Fang Xuan asked Ji Mofan in return.
This question left Ji Mofan even more confused. "What should I have heard?"
Is there something else going on with him here?
"They say your junior brother surnamed Lin also has some unspeakable feelings for you." Fang Xuan revealed a gloating expression. "Reflect on yourself, did you do something to him that everyone knows about?"
Ji Mofan blinked.
What's his relationship with Lin Ju'an? There's nothing publicly about it.
All I did was ask him to give me private instruction once in the training grounds, and I even helped him contract a divine weapon in the secret realm...
Hmm, that seems like quite a lot.
He kept his distance beforehand to prevent Li Geyue from becoming wary of Lin Ju'an. Afterwards, there was no need for that; some interactions no longer needed to be concealed.
But he seemed not to have considered at all whether these things would be interpreted differently by others.
Upon closer reflection, there is another noteworthy point: when he was settling accounts some time ago, it seems that many people did not come to collect their debts personally, but entrusted Lin Ju'an to do so on their behalf.
At the time, Ji Mofan didn't think anything was wrong, because some disciples were not in the sect for the time being, or had other reasons for not being able to attend in person. Ji Mofan just told them that as long as the things and money arrived, it didn't matter who was there.
Besides Lin Ju'an, there were others who carried debts owed by others.
But Lin Ju'an was the one who came over the most times.
However, Ji Mofan was so focused on numbers that he didn't have time to pay attention to anything else.
Looking back now...
Why did Lin Ju'an agree to run errands for so many people he barely knew?
Details that were once overlooked suddenly seemed suspicious after Fang Xian brought them up.
Ji Mofan shook his head.
Why didn't I have all these nonsensical and trivial matters in my past life?
"So, what role do I play in all of this?" He gave up guessing and chose to ask Fang Xian directly.
Fang Xuan is an expert in these unconventional and interesting stories, but it would be even more interesting if he weren't the protagonist.
