Fairy Tail: I Am the God

After returning to his original state, Tianming sighed, "Luckily, I put on some makeup to scare those Qin soldiers, otherwise I wouldn't have been let through so quickly. Also, I really couldn't stand the fishy smell!"

Jing Tianming's reaction amused a lot of people.

Just as Jing Tianming relaxed, the system suddenly transmitted a message, telling him to be careful, and then went silent. No matter what methods Jing Tianming tried, there was no response.

The others found it strange that Tianming suddenly became so agitated, wondering if he was really so angry about the fishy smell. In reality, Jing Tianming was troubled because he couldn't contact the system again.

In an instant, the agitated Jing Tianming calmed down and began to analyze the situation seriously. He hadn't seen any Leonians for the past few days, and the system was unreachable; they were elusive and unpredictable. Could it be that they were carrying out something they were keeping from him?

Jing Tianming became increasingly confused and eventually gave up, ceasing all thought. However, he remained worried that something might have happened to them, but they were unable to tell him.

Chapter 1084 Appointed as the Leader of the Mohist School

Having successfully infiltrated Luoyang, the group removed their "clothing" and began to properly admire the scenery of Luoyang.

Jing Tianming stopped thinking about the system and Leon, his gaze drawn to the bustling city of Luoyang. He looked around, like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, finding everything new and fascinating.

The streets were lined with stalls selling all sorts of strange and unusual things. Tianming and Shaoyu followed behind Dongguo Zhi and Duanmu Rong, exchanging their opinions.

"Hey, Shaoyu, there are hairpins over there!" Jing Tianming looked at the shiny pile of things, grabbed Xiang Shaoyu, and rushed towards the stall, shouting excitedly.

"Jing Tianming, slow down! I'm about to fall!" Xiang Shaoyu complained as Jing Tianming pulled him through the crowd, pushing and shoving his way through the throng.

Tianming's eyes gleamed with excitement. He picked up a simple hairpin, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "How much is this one?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Sir, this one costs twenty coins."

Tianming touched his flat money pouch, put down the hairpin, looked apologetically at the shopkeeper, and said, "Sorry to bother you."

Tianming pulled Shaoyu along to the next stall. On the way, he looked slightly disappointed and said to Shaoyu in a low voice, "That hairpin would look so good on Yue'er."

Shao Yu remained silent, feeling somewhat depressed, wondering what Yue'er was doing.

Dongguo Zhi, Duanmu Rong, and the others walked ahead, noticing that the two mischievous children were heading in different directions, but they didn't pay much attention. Duanmu Rong smiled, looking at Tianming and the other two, but said to Dongguo Zhi, "Why don't we go for a stroll too?"

Dong Guozhi was flattered and raised his voice to an octave, excitedly saying, "Alright! Rong'er." Turning to the others, he ordered, "Meet at the entrance of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce after one incense stick's time, and also tell Tianming and the other man."

Tianming and Shaoyu were at a mask stall, trying to scare each other by wearing masks. It was quite an achievement that the person who came to deliver the message managed to recognize them in the vast crowd. Knowing they could move around freely for a while, they became even more excited and continued their exploration.

The others responded and retreated, leaving only Duanmu Rong and Dongguo Zhi in their original positions. Duanmu Rong took the initiative to speak, saying, "Dongguo Zhi, let's just walk along the road. If we come across a pharmacy, I'll go in and take a look." With that, Duanmu Rong took the first step forward, giving Dongguo Zhi no chance to react.

After realizing what was happening, Dong Guo Zhi followed closely behind Duanmu Rong, trying to walk side-by-side in the crowd. At that moment, Dong Guo Zhi wished this road could go on forever, completely ignoring the people on either side and the noise of the street. The two enjoyed a peaceful and precious moment together.

On the way, Duanmu Rong paid no attention to what Dongguo Zhi was thinking; she was only concerned about whether there was a pharmacy and whether she could buy suitable medicine for Gai Nie. As luck would have it, she finally found an open pharmacy.

Duanmu Rong walked straight in and observed the shop's decor, which was very rustic, and the shop was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

The pharmacy was quite large and should have a good stock of medicinal herbs. Judging from the decor, it must have been around for a long time, making it a suitable place to buy herbs for Gai Nie. Having received a satisfactory answer, Duanmu Rong then led Dongguo Zhi out.

As Duanmu Rong walked out of the pharmacy, calculating that it was almost time, she looked at Dongguo Zhi after a short while and said directly, "We should head to the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce."

Chapter 1085 The Owner of Feixiang Pavilion! Snow Maiden

Dong Guozhi replied, "Okay, Rong'er, you are so thoughtful. I lose track of time when I'm with you."

Duanmu Rong suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, feigning anger while secretly overjoyed, and replied, "Who's with you!"

Dong Guozhi hurriedly replied, "Rong'er, I..." Before he could finish, Duanmu Rong interrupted him, saying, "Let's go quickly!"

When the two arrived, everyone else was already present in front of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. After Dongguo Zhi and Duanmu Rong arrived, the group entered the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce in a grand procession.

Tianming was somewhat flattered that Dong Guozhi and his group were personally received by Jin Wanliang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He was also surprised to see the president in person, as he looked much younger than his age.

Tianming clicked his tongue in amazement. This chairman was so young, yet so rich, and so helpful. How wonderful.

"Young heroes, please stay at Feixiang Pavilion for the next few days. If there is anything that is not well received, please let us know," Jin Wanliang said with a smile, looking at Dongguo Zhi and the others.

"Greetings, young heroes. I am Xue Nu, the owner of Fei Xiang Pavilion. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything." Xue Nu stepped forward and introduced herself.

The voice was as melodious as a nightingale's song, and the people who had been looking down all raised their heads to see who it was.

The crowd was drawn to the Snow Woman's beauty. Her attire had an exotic flair, and her half-covered face added to her allure.

After speaking, the Snow Woman smiled at everyone, captivating them completely. Tianming didn't pay much attention to the Snow Woman, because in his heart, Yue'er held a special place. In Tianming's heart, Yue'er was the most beautiful, unmatched by anyone.

"Shaoyu and Tianming stay here. The rest of you, go with Xue Nu to rest first," Dong Guozhi instructed after Xue Nu finished her introduction.

Jin Wanliang gave Xue Nu a wink, and Xue Nu then led the others away to Fei Xiang Pavilion. Before leaving, Xue Nu also took a room full of servants with her.

There were no outsiders in the room. Tianming was about to ask Dongguo Zhi why he had left the two of them there, but before he could ask, he saw this scene.

Dongguo Zhi and Duanmu Rong knelt down on one knee and bowed to Jin Wanliang, saying, "Greetings, Master of the Mohist School."

Tianming and Shaoyu were stunned, as if struck by lightning. Tianming was deeply impressed; the Chamber of Commerce president was so powerful, not only rich but also influential.

Shao Yu panicked and almost screamed, but Tian Ming quickly covered his mouth. If this secret were to get out, he feared he would lose his life. Shao Yu looked at Tian Ming, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Please rise, both of you. There's no need for such formalities." Jin Wanliang got up from his seat, strode forward, and helped one of the people up with one hand, saying cheerfully.

"I'm already happy to see you all, how can I possibly perform such a grand ceremony again? You young heroes should also go and rest; you must be exhausted from your long journey," Jin Wanliang said, considering the needs of the four of them after helping Dong Guozhi and the other man to their feet.

Seeing the situation, Dong Guozhi responded, "Thank you for your concern, Chairman. We will take our leave now. Please feel free to ask if there is anything you need from us."

The fact that Chairman Jin of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is the leader of the Mohist school must be kept secret, so Dongguo Zhi only called him "leader" at the beginning, and referred to him as Chairman Jin at other times.

"Guo Zhi, quickly take your men down to rest!" Chairman Jin couldn't help but urge.

Chapter 1086 The Snow Woman Possessing a Famous Weapon

"Alright, Chairman Kim, we'll take our leave now." Dong Guozhi reverted to his roguish manner and replied nonchalantly.

After finishing his speech, Dong Guozhi led Rong'er, Tianming, and Shaoyu to Feixiang Pavilion. Xue Niang was not there, but fortunately, Dong Guozhi knew the way, and the group was able to reach their destination smoothly.

The unseen Xue Niang was currently selecting future musicians for Fei Xiang Pavilion, one by one, and she had to be careful. As the owner of Fei Xiang Pavilion, Xue Niang herself had certain talents and skills, and naturally knew what kind of musicians would be beneficial to the development of Fei Xiang Pavilion.

Unfortunately, the visitors were all mediocre people who came to try their luck because they saw the high commission income of Feixiang Pavilion.

On a bustling street in the city, a crowd had gathered in front of a notice board. The crowd chattered excitedly, but one young man in black remained silent, staring intently at the contents of the notice.

The young man in black was Gao Jianli. He murmured repeatedly, "Feixiang Pavilion, Feixiang Pavilion..." He repeated it about three times before being interrupted.

"Brother, you look like a musician, why don't you give it a try?" A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came up to Gao Jianli and encouraged him to give it a shot.

Seeing that Gao Jianli didn't make a move, the young man teased again, "This musician must love music. If he has the opportunity to do what he loves and earn a high commission, why wouldn't he take it?"

Upon hearing the words "high commission," Gao Jianli's eyes, which had been closed for rest, twitched slightly, clearly indicating he was being persuaded. The young man who had been trying to convince him also noticed this detail; this was a reasonable form of entanglement.

Gao Jianli is now far from home and feels extremely lonely. Moreover, his wallet has been empty for about two days, and he urgently needs a job.

Gao Jianli ignored the young man and went directly to the notice board, tearing down the advertisement for musicians for Feixiang Pavilion. He carefully put the paper away and prepared to leave. Before departing, he quietly thanked the young man who had explained things to him.

Gao Jianli, his face stiff, walked out of the heavy guard, saw the location information on the paper, and set off for Feixiang Pavilion. But when he actually arrived at his destination, he found that Feixiang Pavilion was actually a teahouse.

The tranquil atmosphere and the refined ambiance of the teahouse make it a well-designed establishment, though it falls short in terms of ambiance. But who can blame him for being broke? Gao Jianli stroked his zither for a moment, then steeled himself and entered the Fei Xiang Pavilion.

After entering Feixiang Pavilion, Gao Jianli ignored everything else and stared intently at the various reasons for rejection from the job applicants, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

A young maid on the stage announced loudly, "Next, Gao Jianli." Was Xue Niang still busy? She hadn't heard Gao Jianli's name. Otherwise, Xue Niang would probably be very happy; it would be a reunion of old friends with Gao Jianli.

Little did anyone know, Xue Niang simply couldn't stand those people playing all sorts of vulgar tunes, so she briefly left the place where the music critics were listening.

As the announcement sounded, Gao Jianli snapped out of his reverie and took down his zither. Just as everyone was about to laugh at him, they saw Gao Jianli test the tuning and gradually get into the swing of things, playing a masterpiece that would be unparalleled in the world.

A true musician can tell how profound Gao Jianli's musical skills are just from the first sound check.

Chapter 1087 The Snow Maiden's Heart Flutters, Her Dance Captivates the City

Everyone was still immersed in the music and couldn't calm down for a long time. Xue Niang also noticed the guests in the pavilion and returned to the secluded listening spot in the hall.

Xue Niang only heard the second half of the song, but she could sense that this was someone she knew and that they must have interacted before. It wasn't until the song ended that she realized it was Gao Jianli who had come.

Since Xue Niang was an old friend, she was more willing to keep him as a musician in Fei Xiang Pavilion.

Meanwhile, in the imperial court, the King of Qin received intelligence. The entire Mohist school had abandoned their village and fled, an act that had greatly angered the King of Qin.

The King of Qin looked at Zhao Gao, whom he trusted most, and ordered, "From now on, there's no need for beating around the bush. I want you to act openly and directly!" Upon hearing the order, Zhao Gao's lips curled into a smug smile.

The King of Qin added, "Issue a nationwide warrant for the arrest of Jing Tianming and Gai Nie. They must be captured for me!"

Upon receiving this order, Zhao Gao was somewhat troubled, but as the head of the Yin-Yang School, how could he give up over such a trivial matter? In the blink of an eye, Zhao Gao pleaded with the King of Qin, "Your humble servant will certainly not fail in your trust and will arrest these two men and bring them to justice!"

Having said this, Zhao Gao looked directly at the King of Qin to show his determination. The King of Qin looked at Zhao Gao, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "Then I await your good news, my dear minister!"

Zhao Gao didn't say anything on the surface, but inwardly he couldn't help but think, "You old man with a mind as deep as the sea, always giving me such difficult tasks!" But his expression remained unchanged, and Zhao Gao calmly said to the King of Qin, "Your humble servant will take his leave now to attend to this matter."

The King of Qin nodded to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao then left the imperial study. The oppressive atmosphere there made him feel that staying there for too long would shorten his lifespan. He then strolled around the imperial garden to relax. Zhao Gao had a special order from the King of Qin that allowed him to linger in the imperial garden without permission.

Wei Zhuang, who had been defeated by Jing Tianming's mutation, had finally recovered from his internal injuries. He met with Donghuang Taiyi again to discuss Jing Tianming's supernatural abilities.

Zhao Gao wanted to relax and avoid being bothered by trivial matters, so he arranged to meet Wei Zhuang in the Imperial Garden.

On the way to the Imperial Garden, Wei Zhuang wondered what Donghuang Taiyi's true identity was, since he could arrange a meeting with someone in the Imperial Garden.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, Wei Zhuang met Donghuang Taiyi. Judging from his attire and behavior, he guessed that he was Zhao Gao. Wei Zhuang, being a shrewd and experienced man, understood the implication. However, Wei Zhuang couldn't swallow his anger and began arguing with Zhao Gao.

Wei Zhuang strode forward, saying as he went, "How could you hide anything from me! You almost got me killed, do you know that?!"

Zhao Gao asked calmly, "What makes you say that?" In fact, Zhao Gao was a little confused, but he had guessed the general idea.
