Chapter 1354 – Have My Own Plans

Ji Mo Ya nodded: “It is good that you are aware. We need to plan this for the long-term and avoid alerting the snake too early!”

Nan Gong Bei Cheng looked at Ji Mo Ya. Only to feel that the latter was looking even worst off than before. He could not help but say: “Why do you continue to stay in the Ji Mo Clan despite your situation? Going off to any other place would have been better than looking at their faces…”

Ji Mo Ya returned a light smile, revealing his charms of the past again, “I have my own plans. Farewell!”

He left quickly after speaking.

Shortly after, news spread from the Ji Mo Clan.

Ji Mo Ya’s body was becoming weaker, it was to the point that he was to remain in bed.

His cultivation had also dropped sharply. In a span of only a few months, he had fallen from Late-Stage Mystic Spirit Master to Early-Stage Spirit Master.

And it seemed like it would continue to fall.

The Ji Mo Clan and even the Holy Court had sent people to examine but could not find the cause.

Everyone was tongue-tied. The initially stunning and talented Number One Young Master has now fallen to such a state.

Looking at the rate that his cultivation was falling, his lifespan would likely be shortened.

The widely recognized number one of the new generation, the hope of ascension to become the new Sage, was now…

Sigh. Everyone could only shake their heads and sigh.

Ji Mo Ya was utterly unaware of what the people outside were thinking. Even if he knew, he would only return a smile at them.

Over the past few days, the attitude of the Ji Mo Clan was becoming more perfunctory.

Servants have been re-assigned, the Feather Guards were also pulled away.

Only the loyal Ink Guards remained to guard the little courtyard. Causing any ill attempts made by devious-minded people of the Ji Mo Clan, who wanted to get on the good books of the new Clan Patriarch, to fail.

That was fine also, as the guards dared not slack off their responsibilities of defending their master.

However, what made them fluster was Ji Mo Ya’s waking up late at night to look at the full moon over the past few nights while wearing a determined attitude.

They would occasionally hear some muffled words such as using one life to pay off for another.

This caused the Ink Guards to develop a bad feeling, yet they were helpless about it. They could only pray to the heavens and hope it would take pity on their young master and not let this generation’s hero end in an abjected state like this.

……

Huan Qing Yan had entered closed-door seclusion.

She has recovered all her past memories ever since the incident with Shang Qiu Meng Qian.

In the past, she would always be distracted by various things despite knowing that cultivation was crucial. That was why she never put all her effort into it.

Now, the feelings from the past were like smoke that scattered with a wave of her hand.

Even the hatred she felt towards Ji Mo Ya could be put aside temporarily too.

This resulted in a very diligent bird when observed by her classmates.

Except for eating and sleeping, one could always see her always moving figure nearly everywhere.

As for her cultivation, it was shooting up like growing plants after its first spring rain!

She progressed steadily from Early-Staged Demon Great General and broke through to reach Demon King, and has become a Mid-Stage Demon King now…

Her body had also become fuller and bigger; her wings even longer and more beautiful.

This caused many young birds to become dumbfounded. Commotions and discussions would happen whenever they encounter Huan Qing Yan flying past them.

“Chirp chirp. How did this Elder Sister cultivate so quickly?”

“Gu Gu. She is a Divine Bird, it is only natural that her cultivation is fast.”

“Divine Bird? What species is that? I have never heard of it before.”

“Sister Bai. Divine Bird is not a species but a reference for talent. It is… Anyway, cultivating quickly is normal.”

“That Elder Sister is awesome…”

Huan Qing Yan had only needed the foundational training and systematic instructions during the beginning. During the later parts, the amount of time she attended class reduced even.
