Neither of them spoke after that.
Fang Wei didn't know what to say because of her complicated thoughts, but Ji Yuan turned his head away after saying that. Only after avoiding Fang Wei's sight did he seem to feel more at ease and began to exert his strength again to fight against the power behind the spirit realm gate.
Although it was not an easy task to deal with the things in the Spirit Realm Gate, it did not require Fang Wei to exhaust all his strength. He turned back several times and wanted to say something to Ji Yuan, but Ji Yuan frowned, as if he was concentrating on doing things and had no intention of speaking.
Fang Wei sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
This time he followed Hua Shi to Tianqing City to attend the Spirit Transformation Conference and met Ji Yuan, who had become the Lord of the Spirit. He originally thought that after the previous period of time, Ji Yuan had completely changed into a person he was no longer familiar with, mature, calm and imposing. However, at this time, he realized that no matter how big the change was, at certain times, he would indeed put down those things that belonged to the Lord of the Spirit and become the person he was familiar with again.
In Fang Wei's opinion, the other party was not a noble master of the spiritual path at this moment, but more like a little guy who had been wronged in the past.
He smiled helplessly, and when Ji Yuan was peeking at him again, he turned back and looked at him and asked, "Have you calmed down?"
Ji Yuan paused, as if he wanted to look away, but he couldn't do it under Fang Wei's gaze, so he could only stare at her stiffly and said in a stiff voice: "Do you think you are coaxing a child? I won't get angry easily."
Fang Wei nodded and smiled as he said, "That's good. I was worried that you would smash things every time you got angry like you did before. The previous Ningshan headquarters was not afraid of you smashing it, but the new Lingdao headquarters cannot withstand being smashed."
He was talking about the main altar that Lingdao built in Tingshan after the main altar in Ningshan was destroyed.
The new Lingdao headquarters is different from the previous brick and stone buildings. The environment there is good and the pavilions are all decorated with exquisite carvings. There are all kinds of ornaments and potted plants in the rooms. If Ji Yuan hits it twice, it will probably be completely destroyed.
Fang Wei was just saying it casually, but Ji Yuan couldn't help but frown when he heard it: "Have you been to the new Lingdao headquarters?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He remembered that he was now using the identity of Liu Qishuang. In the eyes of everyone, Liu Qishuang was killed by Fang Wei in the battle of Ningshan, and the Ningshan headquarters was also destroyed in that battle, so later the Lingdao headquarters was moved to Tingshan.
So in Ji Yuan's opinion, Liu Qishuang should not have seen the new headquarters.
And in fact, he had indeed been there. At that time, he went there under the identity of Fang Wei, the leader of the evil way. He just went there to pass on a message, but it was regarded as a provocation and he was almost surrounded by the masters of the spiritual way.
Fang Wei had no way of explaining these words to Ji Yuan.
Fortunately, Ji Yuan was concerned about something else. Seeing Fang Wei didn't answer, he thought that the other party was deliberately hiding something from him and refused to respond, so he quickly said stiffly: "Why didn't you die? I clearly saw you with my own eyes that year... Why did you fake your death? If you didn't die, why didn't you show up? If you don't plan to show up again, why do you want to come back now?"
It was difficult for Fang Wei to explain this matter, and it was also related to his identity as the evil master Fang Wei. Since he had intended to hide this identity back then, he was not going to reveal it now, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "A lot of things happened, and I can't tell you everything, but I really can't come back in the past thousand years."
Ji Yuan seemed to be about to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but his expression changed when he heard Fang Wei's words. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
After he said this, he looked at Fang Wei's current appearance carefully, and suddenly seemed to realize something was wrong: "When did your spiritual state become like this? I remember your spiritual object was not..."
Fang Wei coughed twice to interrupt Ji Yuan's words, and did not let him continue. He only explained in a low voice: "You are not wrong."
At this time, the gate to the spiritual realm had gradually begun to close under the joint efforts of the two. Just as Fang Wei had said before, it took less than half an hour for them to resist the attack from the spiritual realm.
Although things are far from over, they still need to investigate what happened in the spirit realm, but that is not something that can be done now.
The moment the spiritual realm gate was completely closed, Ji Yuan flashed towards Fang Wei's direction. Before Fang Wei could dodge, he had already grabbed the metal mask on his face.
Fang Wei did not dodge deliberately. He had guessed Ji Yuan's move long ago and had no intention of concealing it. So when Ji Yuan approached, he stood there without moving and just let Ji Yuan take off the mask from his face.
Ji Yuan's eyes were fixed on Fang Wei, trying to see his face under the mask. However, after seeing the face clearly, his movements suddenly froze, and he lost his composure for a rare time and stood there in a daze.
He had seen this face too many times during the day, so it was difficult for him not to recognize it now.
Ji Yuan murmured, "It's you? Hua Shi?"
Fang Wei nodded helplessly: "Yes, my real body is trapped somewhere now, so I can only follow the young master of the Hua family in the form of spiritual consciousness, and sometimes I can use his body to do something."
Ji Yuan's expression changed several times. He stared at Fang Wei for a long time before saying, "Lu Yao knew that you were temporarily staying in Hua Shi's body, so he paid special attention to Hua Shi's affairs. That's why he proposed to take Hua Shi as his disciple at the Spiritual Transformation Conference? Is he provoking me in this way?"
Fang Wei: “…”
In Ji Yuan's opinion, if Lu Yao knew that Liu Qishuang's consciousness resided in Hua Shi's body, and still proposed to accept Hua Shi as his disciple, then he must be doing it to humiliate Liu Qishuang and provoke Ling Dao and him.
That's why when he thought about it now, Ji Yuan couldn't help but be so furious.
Fang Wei didn't expect Lu Yao to be blamed for no reason. He was silent for a moment and took the initiative to comfort Lu Yao: "He didn't know about this."
Lu Yao really didn't know about the incident with Liu Qishuang. The version he knew was that the evil master Fang Wei's consciousness was in Hua Shi's body, so what he said was indeed correct.
Although he felt a little guilty about the deception, he had no choice but to keep it secret at this time.
Ji Yuan's expression indeed eased a little after hearing what Fang Wei said, but he still couldn't help but murmured: "So he really likes Hua Shi? What is so special about this young master?"
Fang Wei nodded: "Of course there is."
He told Ji Yuan about Hua Shi being the son of destiny. Ji Yuan listened to his narration carefully and said at the end: "Fortunately, Lu Yao was not able to accept Hua Shi as his disciple in the end. This time, I owe Xuan Shuzhi a favor."
As he said this, he took another look at Fang Wei.
Fang Wei originally thought that he was feeling lucky that the Son of Fortune was not taken away by the evil Wind and Rain Palace, but after receiving Ji Yuan's look, she realized that he was still thinking about how he almost got accepted as a disciple by Lu Yao.
Sure enough, after holding it in for a long time, Ji Yuan couldn't help but say, "Your consciousness is now in Hua Shi's body, and you can barely be considered as one with him. If Lu Yao really accepts Hua Shi as his disciple, do you have to call him Master?"
Fang Wei found it funny: "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yuan frowned: "You can't call Xuan Shuzhi your master either, it will mess up the generations."
Fang Wei rubbed his forehead helplessly: "You have been the master of the spiritual path for so many years, and you think about this kind of thing every day?"
When Ji Yuan heard this, he suddenly fell silent for some reason. After a while, he continued, "In my opinion, you are the only one who deserves the position of the Lord of the Spiritual Path after all these years. I am here, but you... so I am just taking your place temporarily."
Fang Wei understood what Ji Yuan meant, but she couldn't help but shook her head and laughed when she heard this: "That's not the case. You are doing very well now, even better than I did back then."
Fang Wei was trapped for a thousand years, and one day he saw the light of day again and returned to the Xuanqing Continent. The fact that the entire Xuanqing Continent could be so peaceful must have been due to the contribution of the Lord of the Spiritual Dao.
The Xuanqing Continent thousands of years ago had never been so peaceful.
Seeing that Ji Yuan was still looking at him with dark eyes, Fang Wei deliberately relaxed his tone and continued, "You don't have to always stick to the past, just keep moving forward. You have been doing well these years."
Ji Yuan didn't want to hear this, so he frowned and was about to retort: "But..."
Fang Wei interrupted him with a gentle voice: "I'm very happy to see you stand on your own."
Ji Yuan finally relaxed his expression after hearing this. It had been nearly half an hour since everyone left and stood guard outside. Footsteps could be heard not far away. Fang Wei took the mask from Ji Yuan, put it back on his face slowly, and turned around and said, "I should go now."
Ji Yuan glanced at the Spirit Realm Gate, which had completely disappeared, and then looked at the figures approaching from a distance. He made an irritable "tsk" sound and immediately called out to Fang Wei, "Liu Qishuang!"
Fang Wei turned back: "Hmm?"
Ji Yuan pursed his lips and said, "How can I help you? What do you need to do to recover?"
Fang smiled and said, "If you can, please help me take good care of this young master of the Hua family and don't let him fall into danger."
Ji Yuan raised his eyes calmly: "It's a small matter."
Fang Wei was used to seeing him being aggrieved and impatient. Now seeing him put his hands behind his back and deliberately restore the calmness of the master of the spiritual path, he did not feel majestic but only amused. He suppressed his laughter and said, "I'm leaving first."
As he spoke, his figure suddenly moved and disappeared from the spot like cold smoke.
At the same time, everyone outside also rushed here and began to ask Ji Yuan about the Spirit Realm Gate.
Hua Shi was a little confused when he woke up the next day.
He sat on the bed, feeling the pain and stiffness in his body. He looked down at his hands for a long time before muttering, "What did I do last night?"
Because Fang Wei had consumed too much of his spiritual energy, he was now hiding in the corner of Hua Shi's soul. He had no awareness of being the culprit and had no intention of responding to him.
Hua Shi rubbed his shoulders and neck, then slowly got up from the bed: "Did something happen last night? System? Did you say anything to me last night?"
He was sleeping in a daze at the time and only remembered that he seemed to hear some sound, but he could not remember what happened specifically.
He hesitated for a moment, but quickly put the matter behind him. The reason was very simple. When he saw the luggage on the table and remembered that he was going to Xuan Shuzhi's Xuanling Pavilion to practice today, he couldn't help but start to worry about his future and no longer had time to care about anything else.
Seeing that it was getting late, Hua Shi picked up his luggage and was about to say goodbye to his servants. However, he had only taken two steps and had not had time to open the door when there was a knock on the door: "Disciple, are you up?"
This voice naturally came from Xuanling Pavilion Master Xuan Shuzhi.
Hua Shi was a little surprised and quickly responded, "Master? Why are you here?"
"Get ready, it's time to set off." Xuan Shuzhi said with a smile, and his tone was very slow. He paused for a moment before continuing, "The Lord of Wind and Rain Palace, Lu Yao, and the Lord of Spirit Path, Ji Yuan, came to see us off early in the morning. Don't you want to go meet them?"
Hua Shi looked confused: "?"
