A somewhat frail figure slowly walked in. Li Jiuge instantly stood up, looking utterly shocked.
Ji Yunxi seemed to sense something. For a moment, she didn't react and didn't turn around.
Jiang Linyin looked at the person she had taken care of for so long and finally showed a smile. "You're finally awake."
Ji Yunxi's tears streamed down uncontrollably, splashing on the table and blooming like flowers.
Feng Xingzhi reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "Xixi."
Ji Yunxi couldn't hold back anymore. She turned around and threw herself into his arms. Seeing this, Li Jiuge and Jiang Linyin both had red eyes. But not wanting to interrupt them, they both turned around and left.
Although Feng Xingzhi's face was still a bit pale, he was finally awake. The circulation of his spiritual power had improved significantly. "Xixi, I kept you waiting."
"You're awake. That's great. It's so great..." Ji Yunxi kept saying, trying to express her joy, but her tears had already soaked Feng Xingzhi's clothes.
He reached out and tightly held her in his arms, constantly stroking her head to comfort this almost collapsed woman.
Holding her, Feng Xingzhi realized that Xixi had lost too much weight. Her already slender figure was now even thinner. Feeling the person in his arms, Feng Xingzhi felt both sad and guilty.
"Azhi, do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does it still hurt?" Ji Yunxi finally stopped crying. Without saying a word, she reached out to pull open Feng Xingzhi's clothes to check his chest.
He quickly grabbed her hand. "Alright, alright, Xixi. This isn't appropriate."
Only then did Ji Yunxi realize that they weren't in the side - hall room. The door was wide open, and there were two people peeping outside. Her face instantly flushed red.
"... It seems that you're really better. You should be... better." Ji Yunxi stammered as she withdrew her hand.
Li Jiuge hadn't calmed down from the joy of her cousin waking up. Seeing that the two stopped talking, she rushed in with tears in her eyes. Holding Ji Yunxi's hand, she said to Feng Xingzhi, "Cousin, if you hadn't woken up, Yunxi would have become a skeleton. She has been guarding you every day without relying on others!"
Hearing this, Feng Xingzhi immediately turned his gaze to Ji Yunxi. When he woke up, he had noticed a quilt on the beauty's couch beside him. He wondered if Xixi had come to keep watch at night.
Unexpectedly, it was really the case.
Li Jiuge kept chattering. "You don't know! Yunxi stayed beside you every day. She didn't even sleep on the couch. She just guarded your hand. And she scrubbed you every day..."
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Ji Yunxi quickly grabbed her. "Alright, alright. Stop talking."
Li Jiuge stared with her eyes wide open. "How can I not talk! Otherwise, how can cousin understand how good you are?"
Feng Xingzhi looked at Ji Yunxi with a face full of distress. "I've always known how good she is. There's no need to say it."
Saying that, he pulled her into his arms again. This time, no matter whether she was shy or not, he wasn't going to let go.
Ji Yunxi smiled shyly. "It's not as serious as what Jiuge said. It wasn't just me taking care of you. Second brother, Qingxuan, and Lushu were also there. And Master, even Big brother came."
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "Then thank them."
Li Jiuge paused. For some reason, she felt that her cousin's thanks didn't seem sincere at all.
Ji Yunxi smiled. "But Big brother and Second brother have already set off for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They should be going to find Dongwei."
"How do you know?!" Li Jiuge looked shocked. She had tried so hard to keep it a secret for so many days. How did it seem that Yunxi had known for a long time?
Seeing her like this, Jiang Linyin laughed directly. "You're really a fool. Only you didn't know that she knew."
"Damn it! Qingxuan must not know either!" Li Jiuge was so angry that she immediately dragged Qingxuan into it.
Jiang Linyin thought for a while and couldn't help laughing. "Alright, count him as a fool too."
Not wanting to listen to their bickering, Feng Xingzhi whispered to Ji Yunxi, "I just woke up and circulated my spiritual power. I'll go to see Master later. I should recover almost completely. Then we'll set off together to find them."
Ji Yunxi opened her mouth, about to refuse, but Feng Xingzhi interrupted her.
"We've been through so much together. Are you still going to leave me behind? If it were you, Xixi, would you stay?"
This question left Ji Yunxi speechless. She could only agree. "It's okay, but we have to wait until you've seen Master."
After they finished talking, Feng Xingzhi rushed straight to Ronghua's bedroom. After all, he was Ronghua's disciple. Seeing him wake up, Ronghua was also very happy.
"Sit in meditation. I'll help you treat the remaining injuries. After that, go wherever you want as soon as possible."
It seemed that Ronghua had already guessed their intention.
Seeing that he agreed, Feng Xingzhi immediately sat down without hesitation. In just a moment, the frailty caused by the injury on his chest was repaired.
His face gradually regained its color, and his strength returned. Feng Xingzhi clasped his fists. "Thank you, Master. We'll be careful on this trip."
Ronghua didn't answer. He just waved his hand.
Early the next morning, Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi packed their things and were ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, they saw Li Jiuge with a packed bag following them.
Qingxuan mumbled as he appeared. "Princess, why do you follow wherever Master goes?"
Now that Feng Xingzhi was awake, Ji Yunxi was naturally in a good mood. She joked, "She's not following me. She has someone else in mind."
Qingxuan didn't realize that Ji Yunxi was talking about Ji Yuchen. He looked at the group in confusion and subconsciously thought that Li Jiuge wanted to follow Feng Xingzhi. So he kept asking, "Princess, when did you get so close to your cousin?"
"... He's my cousin. We've been close since childhood!"
"Oh, I didn't see that. I thought you were Master's sister."
"If you really think so, stop provoking me!" Li Jiuge roared. "Besides, even if we're not related now, we will be in the future. They're going to get married!"
"Then talk about it after they get married."
Seeing that they were about to fight, Ji Yunxi immediately glanced at Feng Xingzhi, signaling him to step forward and stop the two.
Jiang Linyin, standing on one side, was amused. She whispered to Ji Yunxi, "I wasn't wrong yesterday. Your fool group includes your second brother, your cousin, and a spiritual beast."
Ji Yunxi smiled but didn't answer. She just shook her head helplessly.
Jiang Linyin raised her eyebrows. "If one day you really think your spiritual beast is stupid, send it to me. I'll treat it for you."
Ji Yunxi clasped her fists. "Then I'll thank you in advance."
"Alright, I'm leaving too. I won't go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with you." He clasped his fists and bid farewell to everyone. "Anyway, you guys will be fine. I'm going to Zhuyi Tower to watch the dance."
After saying that, he waved the Zhuyi Tower token Ji Yunxi had given him. "Thank you, Tower Master!"
