"Why aren't you putting away your demonic energy?"
The black threads wrapped around Qi Fengyu immediately retracted and rushed back into Li Geyue's body as if fleeing.
Qi Fengyu had been half-suspended in mid-air, with only her toes barely touching the ground. As a result, she staggered hard when she was untied and had to hold onto the table to regain her balance.
He glanced at Ji Mofan with a hint of resentment.
Just moments ago, he was so close; if Ji Mofan had simply reached out and helped him, he wouldn't have almost fallen.
However, since Ji Mo Fan had rushed back from the main hall to save him in time, he decided to let bygones be bygones for the time being.
After all, he must be quite angry with Li Geyue right now, so it's normal that he doesn't have the extra energy to care about him.
"By the way, senior brother, how did you suddenly come back?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.
"Because when I went back, I found traces of demonic energy remaining in the corridor," Ji Mofan said.
In fact, Li Geyue was very careful. Except when he attacked the servants in his own courtyard, he was very cautious and pretended to be a mortal with no talent for cultivating immortality.
However, no one can say for sure whether there will be one or two accidental mishaps, not to mention that Li Geyue is in so much pain because of the Gu worm that she has no time to refute Ji Mofan.
Besides, even if he had the time, he probably wouldn't say anything.
The reason is simple: the eldest brother must have his reasons for doing things.
"Then, Senior Brother, what should we do about Li..." Qi Fengyu hesitated for a moment, unsure how to address Li Geyue.
Just now, Ji Mo Fan also called him "Junior Brother" in front of him, so it should be okay for him to call him that, right?
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Ji Mofan said. “Xiao Yu, you should leave here first.”
"What?" Qi Fengyu was taking small steps to move behind Ji Mofan when she heard this and was stunned for a moment.
“Li Geyue is my junior brother, and I was the one who handled the matter of expelling him from the sect at the time.” Ji Mofan lowered his eyes, his gaze seemingly fixed on Li Geyue, but also as if he wasn’t looking at anyone else. “If any problems arise afterward, it is only right that I should clean up the mess.”
Qi Fengyu wanted to say, "But..."
But after thinking about it for a while, he realized that he didn't seem to have any reason to say "but".
Li Geyue has been infected with a Gu worm by Ji Mofan, so no matter how strong he is now, he has absolutely no means to resist Ji Mofan.
Unless someone destroys the mother Gu in Ji Mo Fan's hands.
“…Then be careful, Senior Brother.” Qi Fengyu made a decision quickly.
He walked with some difficulty, and the exquisite ornaments on his body were disheveled by the wind stirred up by the demonic energy. He walked out of the door in a messy state.
As soon as Qi Fengyu's figure disappeared outside the door, Ji Mofan casually put up a barrier inside the room to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in.
It's hard to say who might bump into Li Geyue here.
As for whether Qi Fengyu will go to someone else...
Let's wait until he can run on his own two legs to a place where he can find other living people.
"Junior brother, tell me, why did you come back?" Ji Mofan turned to look at Li Geyue.
"I've packed up everything in your yard and handed it over to you. If there's anything you absolutely need, you can use your voice to find me. Why bother coming back yourself?"
Ji Mofan looked quite tired. He sighed and sat down on the chair next to him.
"...I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I've caused you trouble again." As the effects of the Love Gu gradually dissipated, Li Geyue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and struggled to get up from the ground, but he could only sway precariously by the table beside him.
Ji Mo Fan frowned. "Why is your injury so much worse than when I last saw you?"
Li Geyue scratched the back of his head. "I... got injured when I sneaked into our sect's protective formation."
Ji Mo Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
The Yuncang Sword Sect has several layers of protection system. The mountain-protecting array is precisely the one that Shen Yun, who is skilled in array formations, is in charge of. In the past, Ji Mofan and Li Geyue also accompanied their master to do maintenance work.
This is also why Shen Yunshao didn't delegate the work to Ji Mofan, but instead kept it in his own hands.
However, both Ji Mofan and Li Geyue had some understanding of formations, and after seeing how Shen Yun drew them, it was not impossible for them to break the formation.
As for why the other layers of protection failed to stop Li Geyue...
It's very simple, because Jimo Fan shut down everything else.
Today is his Daoist ceremony with Qi Fengyu, and he has extended a warm invitation to many guests, both familiar and unfamiliar. If the Yun Cang Sword Sect still has so many access control gates at the entrance, it would be disrespectful to the visitors, making them seem like they are being guarded against as if they were thieves; secondly, having people open the gates for them one by one would be too much work and not worth it.
So Ji Mofan naturally made a suggestion, asking the other elders to temporarily shut down the defenses they were responsible for, leaving only Shen Yun's formation intact.
It's not entirely impossible for Li Ge to sneak in now that she wants to.
However, Ji Mofan did not expect that his obsession with Qi Fengyu would be so strong, so strong that he would disregard the possibility of his identity being exposed and actually try to kill him right away.
That won't do. The old man has come out of seclusion today. Although he's in the main hall now, if something really happens to Qi Fengyu, he'll definitely be aware of it.
At that point, Li Geyue will have no way out.
"Senior Brother, I was wrong." Li Geyue suddenly admitted his mistake very sincerely.
Seeing Ji Mofan looking at her, Li Geyue lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. "I originally planned to listen to my senior brother and secretly go to the Demon Realm."
"But during my journey, I heard the news that my senior brother was about to hold a grand ceremony for Daoist couples."
"I cared so much, I couldn't resist coming back to take a look..."
"Senior Brother, why did you agree to Xiaoyu's request?" Li Ge asked him, puzzled.
"That's not your concern." Ji Mofan was too lazy to explain and directly shut him down. "What's important now is how you're going to get out of here."
"You should stay here quietly until the ceremony ends and the guests leave, then you can blend in and leave."
"Will you listen to your senior brother this time?" He looked at Li Geyue.
Li Geyue, unusually, did not answer him immediately.
"Junior brother?" Ji Mofan asked again.
"Senior Brother, am I really that unlikable to you?" Li Geyue asked, sounding quite dejected.
"Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to discuss how to make me leave?"
