Chapter 854: Crazy or Not

Tian Jizi was lying on the kang, fast asleep, while Jin Zijin sat on a low stool beside him, speaking in a hushed voice.

"Master, Zijin is eternally grateful for your care in this life. At this point, I really shouldn't disturb you; I should let you live out your days peacefully on Qi Mountain. Yet, Zijin is dull and less skilled, failing to measure up to Yu Jizi even after years of your meticulous teaching. If we don't stop him now as he conducts his ritual, he will be even harder to conquer once he has obtained a younger body. Master, your lifelong wish has been to restore the Dao Sect to its orthodox roots and keep it independent from the Imperial Court. If Yu Jizi cannot be killed, then that wish is unattainably distant. Master, if Zijin dares to ask you to leave seclusion, does that make me an unfilial disciple?"

Just a second ago, Tian Jizi was sound asleep, but at the next second after Jin Zijin finished speaking, he suddenly sat up.
