Afraid of missing the moment when Feng Xingzhi woke up, Ji Yunxi simply moved into the side palace and accompanied him every day.
On sunny days, she would even ask her second brother to help carry Feng Xingzhi into the yard and place him on a couch to bask in the sun. She would sit beside him and tell him about the things that had happened to the two of them in previous lifetimes.
"Azhi, last time I told you about Qingyunxi. Today I suddenly remembered that you don't know what I was like when I was in the upper realm, do you?" Ji Yunxi said in a gentle tone, gently leaning against Feng Xingzhi's arm.
"However, whenever I think of Yunqi Palace now, I'm still a bit angry with you. You don't even remember how excessive you were!"
As if recalling something, she suddenly smiled. "How could you be so silly? You always thought I liked Master. But he's Master! How could I possibly like him? But I was also slow. It's only now that I understand your feelings."
Ji Yunxi stood up, went into the room and brought out a basin of warm water. She dipped a handkerchief into it and wrung it out. "After you left Yunqi Palace back then, I always hoped you would come back. But you never came to see me even once. I never saw you again until something happened to Yunqi Palace."
"I regret it, Azhi. I just hope that in this lifetime, we'll never have such misunderstandings again. I understand your feelings, and you should know mine too."
She gently wiped Feng Xingzhi's face with the warm water. In just a few days, the rosy complexion he had finally regained had faded away.
Feng Xingzhi had very good - looking hands. Every time he held Ji Yunxi's hand, it was full of strength.
After wiping his hands, the sun was setting. Ji Yunyi helped carry Feng Xingzhi back into the room. When he turned around, Ji Yunxi had already fallen asleep fully - clothed on the beauty couch beside.
Ji Yunyi stepped forward and whispered, "Yunxi, go back to your own yard and have a good rest. I'll stay here tonight."
But Ji Yunxi still shook her head firmly. "No, I want to be by his side."
Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Ji Yunyi didn't say more. He turned around and left, but he didn't go far. He just guarded the yard.
They had a plan for tonight.
When the moon rose above the treetops and there was no more movement in the room, suddenly Qing Xuan waved at several people from the window. It was Ji Yunyi, Li Jiuge and Jiang Linyin.
The three of them entered the room with the help of Qing Xuan's light. They saw that Ji Yunxi wasn't resting on the couch but was nestled beside Feng Xingzhi, her hands tightly clutching his arm.
Everyone felt a bit heart - wrenching. They had suffered too much.
But this wasn't the time to feel sorry. They quietly set up a barrier. Jiang Linyin then took the opportunity to use his spiritual power to check Ji Yunxi's condition.
After a moment, they left silently without Ji Yunxi noticing anything.
The group came outside. Only then did Jiang Linyin say with a worried face, "It's bad. The seal that Immortal Venerable Ronghua set on Miss Ji has loosened. Now we can't guarantee her safety anymore."
Li Jiuge let out a soft exclamation. "Then what should we do?!"
For a moment, everyone felt uneasy. Firstly, they were worried that if Feng Xingzhi kept sleeping like this, Ji Yunxi would surely stay with him. What could they do then?
Secondly, they were worried that her illness couldn't be delayed any longer. If they couldn't find the right medicine soon, she might not survive.
Li Jiuge clapped her hands and stood up. "I'll go. If you tell Yunxi to give up cousin and go looking for medicine now, she definitely won't go. I'm just a free person anyway. It's just right for me to go looking for medicine!"
Hearing this, Ji Yunyi immediately stood up and echoed, "That's right. We'll go first. At worst, when Feng Xingzhi wakes up, we'll let Yunxi come and find us."
Jiang Linyin was very touched by their friendship, but being touched didn't mean they would have a good ending. He shook his head and mocked the two of them. "You're too naive. Not to mention that those medicinal materials aren't ordinary things and are extremely rare in the world. Even two powerful people like Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi only managed to obtain two types in over a month. Do you think you two can go and get them?"
It wasn't that Jiang Linyin looked down on them. It was just that the reality was so cruel.
Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi both looked dejected, secretly hating their own lack of skills.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind. "What if I join?"
The voice was extremely familiar. Ji Yunyi immediately realized who it was, but then he shook his head. He thought this person definitely wouldn't appear here.
Even Li Jiuge recognized the voice, but like Ji Yunyi, she didn't believe this person would come.
Jiang Linyin looked around curiously. A man walked out of the darkness. His face resembled those of Ji Yunyi and Ji Yunxi.
"Are you..."
Ji Yuchen looked at the people in front of him. "What, are you too afraid to turn around and look at me?"
Only then did the two turn around. It was really Ji Yuchen, and behind him was Lu Shu.
"Big brother..." The two said in unison, looking a bit guilty.
Li Jiuge always felt a bit awkward. She immediately changed the subject and, hands on hips, looked at Lu Shu, who she hadn't seen for several days, in a blaming way. "Good for you! You went behind our backs and invited Lord Ji here?"
Hearing the title "Lord Ji", Ji Yuchen's heart skipped a beat, but due to the current situation, he didn't say anything.
Hearing this, Lu Shu shrugged, looking innocent.
Ji Yuchen explained, "I've already resigned from office. You don't need to blame Lu Shu. I just want to ask, why didn't any of you tell me about such a big thing happening to Yunxi?"
Ji Yunyi had been afraid of this elder brother since he was a child. He tugged at Li Jiuge's sleeve. "Big brother is going to scold us. Don't argue. Just say okay."
"You seem quite experienced." Li Jiuge whispered sarcastically.
Ji Yunyi sneered. "You can choose not to listen. Try it. Big brother may not have other special skills, but he's really good at making you cry on the spot. Do you want to try?"
"Forget it." The two immediately lowered their heads obediently and didn't say a word.
Their synchronized reaction made Ji Yuchen laugh out of anger. "Not saying a word? If I hadn't run into Young Master Lu when he went back to Nanyan to handle affairs, I wouldn't have known how long you were going to keep this from me!"
Li Jiuge felt a bit sour in her heart. Looking at Ji Yuchen, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she had mixed feelings. She was both surprised and happy.
Ji Yunyi turned his head slightly and saw Li Jiuge's slightly red ears. Thinking of the relationship between the two of them before, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
Logically speaking, seeing Ji Yuchen come, Ji Yunyi, who hadn't seen his elder brother for a long time, was also very happy.
But seeing Li Jiuge's reaction, his heart felt like an overturned vinegar jar.
This girl had known him for so long. When Yunxi was away some time ago, they had gone in and out together. But only when she saw Ji Yuchen did she show such a girlish demeanor. She never showed such a reaction when seeing him.
Ji Yunyi couldn't explain this strange reaction. He could only stand there obediently with his thoughts in mind and listen to the scolding.
