After rebirth, I picked up my mortal enemy as my apprentice Chapter 025

Ji Fan stroked his head in a daze. A strange feeling of uneasiness lingered in his heart. His throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn’t feel relieved unless he spoke it out.

I just… seemed to lose consciousness for a moment?

He looked at the girl’s face which was slightly distorted by fear, and the strange emotion in his heart was slowly growing.

Ke Jiu looked surprised. The moment Luo Ling and Ji Fan’s hands touched, she felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart.

“Xiao Fan, what happened just now? How are you now?”

Ji Fan shook his head in confusion, his tone puzzled: “What kind of emotion is this? Am I… angry?”

Looking at her apprentice’s bewildered face, she asked softly, “Why are you angry?”

“I…I don’t know why I’m angry?” The boy looked confused. He asked, “And am I the one who’s angry?”

Ke Jiu grabbed his shoulders and held him in front of him, put his palm on his forehead, and spread his spiritual awareness to sweep over the boy.

Xiaofan’s mental state is very unstable now, but this is a normal phenomenon when emotions fluctuate. Apart from this, there is nothing unusual about him.

What happened? Was it because something in Luo Ling stimulated him and reminded him of the tragic incident on the way to escape from the famine?

Her gaze shifted to Luo Ling. Was it Xiao Ling’s magical power?

The moment Luo Ling fell, Luo An quickly caught his sister.

“Little sister, what’s wrong with you?”

Staying in the warm and generous arms of her elder brother, Luo Ling was finally no longer so panicked and calmed down a little.

But the look in her eyes as she looked at Ji Fan was still full of fear, and her fingertips as she pointed at the boy were still trembling.

“Death…death, a dead world…there is a dead world in him!”

“The dead world?” Luo An looked doubtful, “Little sister, what are you talking about? Can you explain it more clearly?”

“Tombstones… so many tombstones, no one can be alive!”

Feeling his sister’s lingering fear, Luo An couldn’t help but feel pity for her. He hugged her petite body with a little force and patted her back gently.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…Brother is here, no matter what happens, I will protect you.”

“Little sister, calm down… and talk nicely.”

“Sister Ke Jiu, don’t get involved in his world, or you will encounter misfortune.” Luo Ling looked at Ke Jiu, his eyes like a frightened deer, so pitiful.

“Are you talking about Xiaofan?” Ke Jiu looked hesitant, “Xiaoling, have you been a little obsessed recently?”

Luo An was also a little worried and said, “Little sister, maybe you are a little tired, do you want to take a rest?”

Feeling Ke Jiu and her elder brother’s suspicion of her, the girl’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction and her soft hair became a little messy.

“Why don’t you all believe me?”

She held Luo An’s hand and seemed to have regained some confidence.

“Um…Um, Ji Fan, come again, let me take another look at your ‘spiritual appearance’.”

“What do you think?” The boy scratched his head. When he shook hands with the girl, he was not very happy. It seemed that for a moment, his whole body was occupied by something and his consciousness was blank.

Ji Fan asked doubtfully, “What do you need me to do?”

“Just hold out your hand and let me touch you, just like you did just now.”

Ji Fan nodded, and stretched out his hand sincerely, as if a child was asking another child to make friends.

Luo Ling was still a little scared when she thought about the doomsday-like scene just now, but she felt more confident as she held her brother’s warm hand.

As if she didn’t want to give herself a chance to regret, she suddenly raised her arm, decisively grasped the boy’s hand, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Supernatural powers and spiritual vision are opened.

This time what she saw from the boy was… an orange-red sunrise, rising slowly where the sky and the sea meet. The sunlight shone through the mist that was winding and spreading over the sea surface.

Luo Ling was stunned.

She seemed to have entered a pleasant dream. She heard the melodious sound of the sea water hitting the shore, and the sunlight fell on her body, bringing a layer of warm baptism.

The last time I saw a spirit from him, it was a desolate world like the end of the world, with no life.

How come this time the spiritual image turned into a rising sun, so warm that she seemed to want to get closer to it.

Seeing Luo Ling in a trance but not as frightened as before, Luo An patted her little shoulder.

“Little sister, how is it this time?”

Luo Ling came back to his senses and looked at the boy with strange eyes.

How strange! How can one person have two spiritual aspects?

One is a lifeless world of tombstones, the other is a warm and peaceful rising sun.

Or was what I saw before just an illusion?

The girl was confused and couldn’t help showing curiosity towards the boy.

“Brother, I’m fine.” Not wanting to worry her brother, she nodded, “Xiao Fan’s spirit is a very warm sun. Maybe I was really a little obsessed before.”

Luo An’s slightly tense nerves quietly relaxed a little. No matter whether it was his own sister or Junior Sister Ke’s apprentice, he didn’t want any problems to arise.

Is this the dead world? Is this the spirit Luo Ling saw from Xiao Fan before?

Ke Jiu had some doubts in his heart, but when he saw the two children holding each other’s hands, he suppressed some bad guesses in his heart.

“Xiao Fan, little sister…relax your body and stretch out your wrists. I will check you.”

The two men stretched out their wrists as instructed.

Luo An pinched their little wrists with his thumbs and placed the other four fingers on their pulses, listening carefully to the beating of their hearts and the flow of their true energy.

After making sure that both of them were fine and in good health, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“From the looks of Senior Brother Luo, are these two children okay?”

“Don’t worry, except for Xiaofan’s hidden injury that has not healed, everything else is fine.”

Ke Jiu asked: “Brother Luo usually practices at the mountain gate, right? Did the sect send you a mission this time?”

“Junior Sister Ke, I wonder if you have noticed,” Luo An nodded, as if he had thought of something, with a worry between his brows, “Has the frequency of human disasters been a bit high recently? Droughts, floods, locust plagues continue…”

“My father, the head of the sect, vaguely felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was a little abnormal recently, so he sent me down the mountain to investigate.”

Ke Jiu groaned: “Is that so? I’ve also felt something was amiss recently, but I didn’t think much about it…”

Luo An looked at her with a gentle light in his eyes: “Speaking of which, it is a pleasant surprise to meet Junior Sister Ke on this trip. Is Junior Sister Ke also traveling on a sect mission? I wonder where the destination is?”

“No, I left the sect not to undertake the sect’s mission, but for some personal reasons…” Ke Jiu hesitated.

Senior Brother Luo An is a person who can be trusted. Should I tell him about Ji Wang? But what else can I do except to make him have another layer of inexplicable worries?

Luo An saw her hesitation and asked tentatively, “Is it related to the Demon Sect?”

“It’s related to the Demon Sect.” Ke Jiu nodded slightly. To be precise, it is related to the future Demon Lord.

“Last month, the remnants of the Demon Sect appeared in Huaian. When the elders of the Ji family were having a meeting, they attacked the Patriarch and the Master of the Ji family.”

“Although I don’t have direct evidence, I think the recent abnormalities in the human world may be caused by the people of the Demon Sect behind it.”

“Then Junior Sister Ke’s destination should be Huai’an, right?

Ke Jiu thought about it and nodded slightly.

“Yes, I am going to Huai’an to visit the Ji family and learn about the Demon Sect.”

Her actual purpose was to find out clues about Ji Wang. She happened to have contacted the Ji family here in advance, which would be much more convenient when Huai’an came to visit.

At the same time, she also remembered Master Mo Hun whom she met in Yunbai Mountain before.

The remnants of the Demon Sect have appeared quite frequently recently, in corners that I can’t see… Have a group of them been revived?

“Junior Sister Ke, I just happened to receive an invitation from the Ji family. I’m going to take their carriage to inspect the disaster situation in the surrounding area. How about we keep them company on the way to Huai’an?”

Just like he had invited her at Yunjian Peak half a year ago.

She chuckled and said, “Okay.”
