This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 191: Ji's cousin is handsome and can be engaged to this Miss Xiao
"Cousin, what's the problem?"

"Don't call me cousin, I'm not your cousin."

Ji Boli's face was dark, and he wished he could just kill them all, shooting this stupid master and disciple.

Speaking of which, although Ji Boli is a disciple of Benxin Dao, he, like Xiang Yuan, practices in the territory of Western Chu. And because of his origin from the Seven Clans of Tianwu, he never mentions his Taoist name Tongming to anyone. Strictly speaking, he is a child of an aristocratic family.

Now as the patriarch of the Ji family, every move and every word must be based on the interests of the family, and the pros and cons cannot be weighed based solely on personal preferences.

From the perspective of the Ji family, although the seven Tianwu clans are fighting openly and secretly, they are essentially a family. From the perspective of the Tianwu faction, the three Tianzong families are connected by bones and tendons, and when facing a powerful enemy, they should join forces to resist the enemy.

As it turns out, the junior fellow student is not one of us, but an undercover agent!

While eating, I realized that I was the traitor!
Ji Boli was in a bad mood. He couldn't predict the future, but he saw that the Ji family had boarded the pirate ship of the Xiao family in Shendu...

Don't worry, it's not a big problem, don't panic.

Ji Boli secretly reminded himself that he and Xiang Yuan were fellow apprentices of Benxin Dao. If he didn't tell anyone about this matter, Xiang Yuan wouldn't tell anyone either. The Ji family wouldn't be affected by their relationship as just cousins, and the cousin identities were fake.

But that’s not right either!

If Prince Zhao’s Palace cannot win over the Tianwu Sect, it can go to the Tiandao Sect.

Xiang Yuan is Ji Wuzhou's disciple. If Ji Wuzhou becomes the leader of Tiandao Sect and Prince Zhao's Mansion spreads the news of the marriage, no matter it is true or false, the three families of Tiandao Sect will not be able to sit down and talk calmly.

Just like whether tofu pudding should be sweet or salty, there were already many internal contradictions, and now it was even more difficult to reach a consensus.

It's destined to end!

If they only fought with force, Ji Boli would be confident that the three Tian clans were not afraid of the Xiao clan in Shendu. However, the bad thing was that the three Tian clans had been divided for many years, and if any one of them was won over, the situation would be self-defeating.

Sweating like rain.JPG
Ji Boli raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He was in a situation where he was sure to die. What should he do? Should he kill his fellow apprentice?

No, Benxin Dao only teaches traps, and does not allow fellow disciples to kill each other.

Besides, killing Xiang Yuan would only offend Ji Wuzhou, and the situation would become even more difficult...

By the way, what exactly does Ji Wuzhou mean? Why did he agree to the marriage with Prince Zhao's Mansion? This guy suddenly became silent, and then suddenly rose up, forcibly seized power and made many plans. What was he thinking?
"Cousin, you are sweating a lot."

Don't you have any idea why I am sweating?
Looking at Xiang Yuan's pure face, Ji Boli felt uncomfortable all over, as if he saw his stupid master in person, calling him a virtuous disciple all the time.

I really want to ask, are we following the path of our original nature or the path of disillusionment? Why do they affect people's mentality so much?
We agreed to follow our heart and act spontaneously...

I understand. You two fools, follow your heart and play tricks on me!

Okay, okay, then let’s all play together and just follow our hearts. Everyone can do that!
Hey, Tianjian Pavilion, it’s decided that it’s you!

Ji Boli took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Qian calmly: "People say that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is meticulous in his work, making plans and winning battles thousands of miles away, and is the best at seizing the initiative. I didn't believe it at first, but today I have to admit it."

Xiao Qian fell silent after hearing this. Where did Ji Boli hear this rumor?

What? He asked people to spread it, so it’s okay.

"Prince Zhao has formed an alliance with Wuhuidao. The three families of Tianzong have collapsed without any attack. Ji is powerless to save the situation. This is an internal strife among the three families of Tianzong. I lost with conviction and cannot blame others, but..."

Ji Boli changed the subject and said, "Ji can only represent the Ji family, one of the seven branches of Tianwu, and cannot represent the entire Tianwu sect. Moreover, whether this matter will succeed or not depends on the situation and the outcome of the Tiandao sect."

My father is very calculating. I have underestimated you before.

Xiao Qian nodded secretly. Xiao Yan had cooperated with Ji Wuzhou without telling him, which really gave him a big surprise, but why didn't he say it earlier?

Oh, now I remember, he once advised his father to be slow in an emergency, calm in a big situation, change in a difficult situation, and restrain in a smooth situation. I think his father listened to him, and before Ji Wuzhou's final judgment, he should not be too sure.

Xiao Qian was deeply gratified to see that his father had not only made progress but also grown up.

I'll go back and praise him!

Xiao Qian raised his glass and toasted to Ji Boli: "Mr. Ji, I have guessed three-tenths of what you meant, but I still don't understand the other seven-tenths. I hope Mr. Ji can explain it clearly."

Ji Boli picked up the wine glass, his heart sighing with helplessness, and decisively kicked out the Tianjian Pavilion who did not come to the meeting: "The matter of the Tiandao Sect is over. If Ji Wuzhou succeeds, Ji is willing to persuade the other seven Tianwu clans to cooperate with the Xiao family in Shendu to suppress the Tianjian Pavilion together."

Xiao Qian's eyes lit up. Regardless of whether what Ji Boli said was true or false, hearing this statement made this trip worthwhile.

He was not wrong. The three families of Tianzong were indeed a group of scattered sand. As long as one of them could be won over, the remaining two would not be a problem.

Xiao Qian felt a huge weight lifted off his chest and raised the cup to drink.

"Don't worry, Ji also has a request!"

"Mr. Ji, please speak."

"Ji Wuzhou and Zhao Wangfu are getting married, and you two have a close relationship. What should my Tianwu sect do? After suppressing Tianjian Pavilion, is it now my Tianwu sect's turn?" Ji Boli said expressionlessly.

"Mr. Ji, you are joking. The court has never thought of suppressing anyone. It is just to integrate the overall situation to prevent Northern Qi from eyeing it covetously."

"Ji has heard too many such words, and I don't dare to believe them whether they are true or false. I only know that what others promised me is decided by others, and what I can decide is the real one."

"Mr. Ji, you might as well speak frankly."

"The Tiandao Sect is planning a marriage, and the Tianwu Sect is also planning a marriage!"

"..."

Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment. Blind date was just an excuse, he didn't expect the other party to be serious.

"Why can the Tiandao Sect marry the daughter of King Zhao, but my Tianwu Sect cannot?"

"Mr. Ji, you're joking. The court treats the two families equally. How can there be any bias?" Xiao Qian agreed reluctantly and sent a message to Xiao Lingyan, asking her what she thought.

Xiao Lingyan had no idea, so she just let her brother make the arrangements.

"Well, my cousin Ji is a handsome man, and he can be engaged to Miss Xiao!"

"puff!"

Xiang Yuan spat out a mouthful of food and looked at Ji Boli in silence: "Cousin, I'm already engaged, to the family across the street. It's not right to be so stubborn!"

"Yes, you are engaged to the other side, but that was arranged by the Tiandao Sect and Ji Wuzhou. What does it have to do with my Tianwu Sect?" Ji Boli snorted coldly.

Damn, what you said makes a lot of sense! But what's wrong with your face that digs holes and lays mines?

Also, you guys who are in the circle of more than 140 people are not that good either. You are smart, but you are too suspicious. You will think about something for half a night just because you fart.

Let's just say, is there such a possibility that there is no Ji Wuzhou at all, it's all your own imagination.

Xiang Yuan was speechless for a while, knowing that the engagement was pure revenge. The foolish senior brother couldn't bear to see his junior brother and his wife get along well, so he turned to look at Xiao Qian: "Ninety-first brother Xiang Yuan greets elder brother, my cousin..."

"It makes sense!"

Xiao Qian raised his glass on the spot: "Mr. Ji is a man of few words, and I am not one to drag my feet. This marriage is settled."

No way, it’s settled already?
What about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words? Who has the final say in Prince Zhao's mansion?
Xiang Yuan looked at Xiao Qian in amazement, then looked at Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Can on his left and right. Xiao Can had a blank expression, but Xiao Lingyan, why are you also... Oh gosh, why are you blushing? I'm your brother-in-law.

"You will drink from the golden cup together, but you will not spare me the sword!"

"As it should be."

"Please!" x2
Ji Boli and Xiao Qian raised their glasses at the same time to discuss the affairs of the Tiandao Sect. After Ji Wuzhou came to power, Tiandao, Tianwu and the Xiao family became allies and worked together to suppress the restless elements in the country who did all kinds of evil and disregarded the law.

The banquet ended with both the guests and the hosts enjoying themselves.

Ji Boli patted his butt and left. Xiang Yuan wanted to follow him, but was looked at as if he were a traitor. He stood at the gate of Jinzun Tower, feeling extremely aggrieved when the cold wind blew.

But let me tell you, it felt really good to have tricked my senior brother. It was even more satisfying than eating a ginseng fruit.

You deserve it for making me wait in line for an hour!
"Ninety-first brother, please stay."

Xiang Yuan's eyelids jumped when he heard Xiao Qian's cheerful voice from behind. He turned around and saw Xiao Lingyan following Xiao Qian. The latter looked nervous, as if she had something to discuss with her husband. She turned around and ran away without saying a word.

The upper class society is too chaotic. No wonder Xiao He would never go back to Prince Zhao's Mansion. This is really not the place to stay.

Xiang Yuan ran into the crowd and disappeared in a few flashes, leaving Xiao Qian standing there feeling very embarrassed.

He thought for a while, and seeing Xiao Lingyan's expression, he transmitted his voice: "The matter of marriage still needs to be planned. My ninety-first brother is already the son-in-law of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and I will not embarrass you."

"Brother, there is no need to say more. I have enjoyed wealth and glory since I was a child, so naturally I must fulfill my obligations to my family and the court. You can discuss this matter with father." Xiao Lingyan said simply.

Seeing that she was so sensible, Xiao Qian couldn't bear it and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think too much. I'll go back and ask my father to see if there is any room for turning back."

What leeway is there? Are we not going to form a relationship with the Tiandao Sect anymore?

Xiao Lingyan shook her head repeatedly, and suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, when father formed an alliance with the Heavenly Blade Sect, which sister did he arrange?"

"I don't know either. I'll ask when I get back."

……

On Xiang Yuan's side, he flew over the mountains and forests, heading straight towards Dezhou.

Although Ji Boli was the one who made up the story and dug his own grave, Xiang Yuan did not want to explain it clearly. Senior Brother Tongming was his own man, and Prince Zhao's Mansion was also his own man. They were all flesh and blood, and the two sides could form an alliance, which saved him from being at a loss when it came to choosing sides.

As for his second master Ji Wuzhou, if the three families could form an alliance, it would be the best outcome for him.

So as to avoid being caught in the middle and being neither popular nor accepted.

As for Tianjian Pavilion, since someone has to be unlucky and injured, why not an outsider from Tianjian Pavilion!
"Well, you should be careful when traveling in the martial arts world in the future. You must not accidentally worship the master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion..."

"Luckily I don't use a sword."

Xiang Yuan silently gave himself a thumbs up. Ji Boli did not give any explanation. For a short period of time, it would be inappropriate for this "calculating" traitor to continue to disturb him. He could not go to Prince Zhao's Palace either. The tour was over and it was time to return to Fengxian, Dezhou.

As for the second engagement, Xiang Yuan didn't take it seriously at all. Let the other party do whatever they want. If he doesn't comply, the other party can't force him to do it.

"It's not that there is no benefit at all. Senior Sister Bailong is thin-skinned and will definitely give me a cold shoulder next time we meet. I will then use this engagement to scare her..."

If you don't get married, there are plenty of people who will.

To be honest with you, my father has arranged another marriage for me. It's with your sister!
"Brother Xiao He, you won't have to suffer this time. A new scapegoat has appeared. You have completed your merits and you won't have to bear the blame anymore."

Xiang Yuan thought happily as he walked to an open grassland and stopped at a crooked tree by the woods.

His eyes turned, the soil under his feet surged, and his body disappeared into it, diving straight down for thirty meters before he pushed open a space in the soil that could accommodate Yanfumen's entry and exit.

When you practice to the innate level, all your methods and abilities will be upgraded.

Xiang Yuan is very different from other people in the innate period. With the five elements beads opened, he had all five elements before building the foundation. During the foundation-building period, he also obtained the elixir of yin and yang and the five elements. The five elements within him were endlessly renewed and he reached a higher level.

Coupled with the magic of the formless seal, one can simulate the five elements innate skills starting from the world of no life and perform the five elements escape technique.

Because I am a beginner, I don't have many skills at the moment. I only know how to cut through mountains and avoid water when encountering water. Nothing more than that.

"Finally, I feel like I'm cultivating immortality!"

Xiang Yuan took a step into the Yama Gate, and when he came out, he had already arrived at the Dragon Subduing Realm.

When one reaches the level of the innate, one can get a glimpse of the true appearance of the upper realm.

"I haven't seen you for a month. I don't know how Senior Sister Bai Yue is doing up there..."

Thinking of the previous entanglement, Xiang Yuan became a little eager. He rubbed his hands subconsciously, then looked up at the sky with his arms outstretched.

Get ready, where is the ascension passage? Come face to face with me!
I stood there for a stick of incense time, and there was no sign of any strange visions of the ascension passage, not even a sound of wind.

"The local ascension channel is so rude!"

Xiang Yuan frowned. It was the first time he knew that the ascension channel also looked at household registration. Since he was an outsider, the big data could not find him and would not guide him to ascend to the upper realm.

"What should I do? I've already promised Senior Sister Bai Yue..."

Xiang Yuan thought about it and decided that the problem was not very serious. Since he did not have a channel for ascension, he could use the channel of others.

Ji Muqing!
"Don't panic, nephew. I'll let you fly right away!"
