Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

Chapter 189 Proficiency

Seeing Xiao Naiyi remain silent, Ji Nanbei continued, "That person, after reincarnation, must have been sleeping in the secret realm of heaven and earth for ten thousand years under guidance. He just happened to come to this world at this time to find you."

It must have been arranged before reincarnation, foreseeing that you would be reincarnated at this time, but unable to cultivate, so they came to take you away. The timing was just right.

As mentioned before, this woman was brought out of the Heavenly Secret Realm by Ji Nanbei at the right time, guided by the Heavenly Secret.

They arrived at the Four Lesser Heavens at this time with a purpose.

It now seems that the other party came to pick up Xiao Naiyi.

After explaining the situation, Ji Nanbei added, "Of course, if you don't want to, I will find a way to get you away. Although that person is strong, there are still ways to help him."

If Xiao Nai really doesn't want to go with that person.

Ji Nanbei then prepared to try taking Xiao Naiyi to the Southern Barbarian Lands.

While the woman and the Sword Sect are locked in a standoff, just burn the teleportation talisman.

If we could reach the Southern Barbarian Lands, perhaps our master would still be here.

Xiao Naiyi's eyes narrowed and his expression became firm.

"I want to go with that woman—the older sister."

Ji Nanbei rubbed Xiao Naiyi's head.

"Don't force it, there will be a way."

Xiao Naiyi shook his head with a smile.

"Anyway, you can come find me, right?"

Ji Nanbei nodded.

No matter where Xiao Naiyi is, the possession will always connect the two of them.

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about."

Then, Xiao Nai followed Ji Nanbei to the air, outside the Sword Sect's grand formation.

Looking at the woman standing in the air in the distance.

Xiao Nai found it hard to associate her with his sister.

It just doesn't taste like it at all!

However, the moment the woman saw Xiao Naiyi, her usually calm and somewhat blank expression turned into one of great joy.

The woman reacted differently the moment she saw Xiao Naiyi.

With a swift movement, the woman appeared in front of Xiao Naiyi.

Judging from her expression, she probably wanted to say something.

But it seems that they don't know how to express their emotions.

Xiao Nai turned his head and glanced at Ji Nanbei, then took the initiative to step forward and come to the woman's side.

The woman stretched out her hand, which stopped in mid-air.

Xiao Naiyi followed suit and extended his hand.

When their fingers touched.

Xiao Nai could clearly feel that the other person seemed to have the same power flowing within them as he did.

Although Xiao Naiyi is not the kind of person who would completely trust someone just because of a blood relationship he doesn't know about.

However, people who share the same origin will always feel more at ease.

So, in the time that followed, Xiao Nai and the Sword Sect members bid each other a proper farewell.

After all, Xiao Naiyi had been with the Sword Sect for some time.

Moreover, he recently passed the Sword Sect's entrance examination and is now a disciple of the Sword Sect.

Now that I'm leaving, I have to give an explanation.

Then, Xiao Nai turned his gaze to Ji Nanbei.

Just when Ji Nanbei thought that Xiao Nai was about to say something to say goodbye,

Xiao Nai gave a soft snort and turned his head away.

Ji Nanbei: Meow meow meow?

What Ji Nanbei didn't know was that Xiao Naiyi had only one thing on his mind at that moment.

That is, to follow the woman, become stronger, strong enough to stand by Ji Nanbei's side.

I can't always be a burden.

The woman, however, said to Ji Nanbei very earnestly, "Thank you."

Ji Nanbei waved his hand.

"She wanted to leave with you, and I didn't really help her much."

The woman shook her head.

Then, he gently stroked his lips with his fingertips.

Ji Nanbei: !?

To others, this action seemed meaningless.

However, Ji Nanbei felt somewhat guilty.

Originally, Ji Nanbei thought that this person should not have been conscious when they were in the secret realm of heaven and earth.

After all, when the other party saw him later in the Happy Forest Demon Sect, they didn't react much.

result--

Ji Nanbei now felt that this person seemed to still remember what happened in the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth.

Ah, this—

Then, the woman pulled Xiao Naiyi along.

The two figures transformed into a streak of crimson light and flew into the sky.

Ji Nanbei raised an eyebrow as he watched this scene.

This woman was probably taking Xiao Naiyi with her, and they were about to leave the Four Lesser Heavens and head to the Great Luo Brahma Heaven or another more prosperous cultivation realm.

Ji Nanbei originally thought that the way to leave a realm would be something like ascending to heaven in broad daylight.

Now it seems—

It actually seems pretty scientific?

You're going to fly right out, huh?

After the two left, Ji Nanbei looked at Jian Qingcheng.

"Sect Master Sword, I've caused trouble for the Sword Sect—"

Jian Qingcheng waved his hand.

"It's good that they didn't make a move. That person's cultivation is extraordinary; if they had really started fighting, that would have been troublesome. It's good that we can resolve this now."

Ji Nanbei then looked at the Sword Sect's protective formation.

Regardless of the circumstances, this woman was released by Ji Nanbei, and Xiao Naiyi is also one of Ji Nanbei's people.

Ji Nanbei still wanted to make up for the losses caused to the Immortal Spirit Sword Sect.

"Sword Sect Master, this great formation—"

Jian Qingcheng casually replied, "It's just a crack. As long as the great formation isn't completely breached, it will automatically recover in a few days. It can even be repaired now by consuming a few spirit stones."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

Well, it seems the Sword Sect doesn't really need him to make amends.

Later--

Ji Nanbei returned to the courtyard.

After explaining the situation to Xiao Jingxi.

Ji Nanbei then went to Xiao Naiyi's side.

It turned out that the woman and Xiao Naiyi had disappeared without a trace.

All they could see was a ring of crimson firelight, enveloping the two of them.

The two people are probably moving forward.

The Four Lesser Heavenly Beings should have already emerged.

Ji Nanbei wanted to ask, but upon looking at the woman, he realized she was completely focused on moving.

They seem to have difficulty concentrating during conversations.

Ji Nanbei decided not to ask any questions for the time being, and would wait until the two of them stopped.

Time flows on.

A few days later, Ji Nanbei had become completely familiar with his own power.

With the completion of the Nine Heavens Myriad Tribulations Thunder Body and the entry into the Nascent Soul stage, Ji Nanbei's strength has increased significantly.

Afterwards, Ji Nanbei prepared to leave the Sword Sect and head to the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty.

With Cheng Ling'er and Xiao Nai leaving one after another, Ji Nanbei also felt a sense of urgency.

We need to resolve the issues with the Four Lesser Heavenly Beings as soon as possible, increase our strength, and enter the Great Luo Brahma Heaven as soon as possible.

Xiao Jingxi wanted to leave with Ji Nanbei.

However, Jian Qingcheng, unusually, insisted on keeping Xiao Jingxi within the sect.

Although Xiao Jingxi made remarkable progress in swordsmanship during his time away from home, his overall cultivation level had fallen somewhat.

Jian Qingcheng wanted Xiao Jingxi to stay and make good use of the Sword Sect's resources to catch up on the cultivation he had lost during this period.

At the same time, he also needs to guide Xiao Jingxi in swordsmanship.

With the guidance of his master Jian Qingcheng, who has gone far in the path of swordsmanship, Xiao Jingxi can avoid many detours.

Ji Nanbei also persuaded Xiao Jingxi to stay in the Sword Sect.

The sword spirit longsword that he gave to Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi hasn't even had time to digest the sword dao insights contained within it yet.

This trip to the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty was again to discuss plans.

With Xiao Jingxi by his side, Ji Nanbei felt he would definitely be distracted.

So, although very unwilling, Xiao Jingxi stayed at the Sword Sect.

Instead, the Seventh Elder accompanied Ji Nanbei to the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty.

Jian Qingcheng has already handed the matter over to the Seven Elders.

This time, the Seven Elders Council acted as representatives of the Sword Sect.

Subsequently, Ji Nanbei and the Seventh Elder also left the Sword Sect.

On the way, the Seventh Elder frowned in confusion.

"Young Master Ji, this direction doesn't seem to lead to Xiandu."

Ji Nanbei nodded and then explained, "Seventh Elder, before heading to the Immortal Capital, we need to find someone who will represent the Heavenly Fox Clan this time."

Although the Seventh Elder was surprised, he still nodded.

The Celestial Fox Clan —

The two were very fast.

Before long, they arrived at Jiangchun City.

Seeing Ji Nanbei land outside Jiangchun City, the Seventh Elder was speechless.

Now, someone from the Celestial Fox Clan is actually inside a city in the Eastern Continent?

Then--

Then the Seventh Elder was taken to the Misty Rain Pavilion.

Standing in front of the Misty Rain Pavilion, the Seventh Elder slowly typed a question mark.

"Young Master Ji, are you sure this is the place? This place seems to be—"

The Seventh Elder asked hesitantly.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

"That's right, this is the place. Seventh Elder, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."

Then, the Seventh Elder was left in the main hall of the Misty Rain Pavilion, looking completely dazed.

It was sunset.

Guests began to enter the Misty Rain Pavilion one after another.

The Seventh Elder sat in the hall, feeling increasingly uneasy.

This looks like a brothel, doesn't it?

He, a dignified elder of the Sword Sect and a true master of the sword, is now sitting in a brothel. What kind of behavior is this?

Just as the Seventh Elder was about to leave the Misty Rain Pavilion to wait outside, a young man came to his side.

"Wow, sir, you're really spry for your age!"

Seventh Elder: I'll give you a piece of my mind!

Seeing the Seventh Elder's gloomy face.

The young man smiled and moved closer.

"Sir, there's no need to take it to heart. We are all people of character and can understand your hobbies."

The Seventh Elder's face darkened even more.

What do you mean by "six coins"?

The Seventh Elder now really wanted to draw the sword from his waist and stab the young man with several bloody holes.

The young man's expression was completely unreadable.

He continued, "Listening to music in a brothel is a wonderful thing. May I ask where you are from, sir? I am Heng Lixuan, a disciple of the Tianji Sect."

Yes, that's right. The young man that the Seventh Elder wanted to stab was none other than Heng Lixuan.

This guy spends most of his time at the Misty Rain Pavilion, and it was just a coincidence that he ran into Ji Nanbei again.

Unfortunately, Heng Lixuan didn't see that Ji Nanbei had already gone upstairs.

The Seventh Elder's lips twitched.

"The Heavenly Mystery Sect, is it? — Good, good, good —"

The three consecutive "good"s are a testament to gritted teeth.

Heng Lixuan waved his hand with an awkward smile.

"Sir, you don't need to worry about sects or anything like that. It's fate that we're listening to music together. Although I'm a disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, I'm usually very easygoing!"

Heng Lixuan thought the Seventh Elder was amazed by his background.

After all, it is one of the Nine Gates.

The Seventh Elder simply smiled and nodded.

He thought to himself: Heng Lixuan, is it? Just wait.

Now that he's back from Xiandu, the Seventh Elder will definitely be visiting the Tianji Sect. He needs to have a good talk with the sect leader about the character of his disciples.

Huh? You're asking why the Seventh Elder isn't here reprimanding Heng Lixuan?

Wouldn't that expose the identity of the Seventh Elder, the Sword Sect Master?

The Seventh Elder, a dignified Sword Sect Master, truly did not want others to know that he was in this brothel, listening to music in a lover's brothel.

Although I came here with Young Master Ji to search for the Celestial Fox Clan.

But this is something that's easy to say but hard to hear!

Meanwhile, Ji Nanbei went upstairs without any hindrance.

There were even maids who specifically led Ji Nanbei to Mei'er's room.

Ever since Ji Nanbei composed seven poems in seven steps at the Misty Rain Pavilion, everyone in the pavilion knows him.

Not to mention that Ji Nanbei's reputation soared again during the later Cultivation World Grand Competition.

If Ji Nanbei hadn't walked quickly and gone straight to the second floor, a crowd would have gathered in the hall, surrounding Ji Nanbei and asking him to help them cheat and get some rouge.

As they led Ji Nanbei to the room, a maid announced, "Young Master Ji has arrived."

Then he left quite consciously.

Ji Nanbei gently knocked on the door.

Unexpectedly, the door creaked open easily after just one or two knocks.

The room was dimly lit, with only a few faint candlelight.

The light created a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

"Ji Lang~ You've finally deigned to come see me? I've been waiting for you for so long~"

Inside the room, Mei'er was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Dressed lightly, her long, fair legs, as white as jade, were exposed to the air. She was barefoot and even beckoned to Ji Nanbei.

Ji Nanbei: Ah, this...

"What's wrong, Ji Lang? Have you found a new love and are now disgusted with me?"

Mei'er's voice was soft. Moreover, she had a pair of fluffy white fox ears on her head, which twitched from time to time, making her look quite tender.

The white fox tail behind her is even more beautiful.

Mei'er's cultivation level had long been sufficient to fully transform into human form.

Moreover, the Celestial Fox clan has a natural advantage in the ability to transform into human form, making it easier for them to do so.

The half-fox's current posture is entirely intentional.

Ji Nanbei's lips twitched.

Well, how should I put it?

It is indeed tempting.

But—

"Mei'er, your legs—"

"It's long, white, and slender, want to touch it?"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer.

From Ji Nanbei's shadow, Qing Xuan'er and Qing Mu'er jumped out and leaped to the side.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.

These two cats definitely won't stay in the Sword Sect.

Because they were demons, Ji Nanbei did not intend to let everyone in the Sword Sect know about the existence of the two cats.

Within the Sword Sect, probably only Jian Qingcheng could see through the shadow-遁 (shadow-遁) technique used by these two cats.

After learning of Ji Nanbei's plan, Jian Qingcheng no longer cared about the presence of demons around him.

However, these two cats cannot roam freely outside.

It has always been in Ji Nanbei's film.

Mei'er's cultivation level was not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally she couldn't see through it.

I thought only Ji Nanbei would come up, and since we haven't seen each other for a long time, I thought I'd give Ji Nanbei a good show.

Unexpectedly, the entire company died.

Mei'er's fox ears and fluffy white tail instantly retracted.

He sat on the bed, awkwardly laughing.

Ji Nanbei waved his hand, changing the subject elsewhere.

We can't let our Mei'er die like this.

"These two are trustworthy individuals I brought out from within the forces of the Heavenly Demon Capital; they are also my helpers."

Ji Nanbei gave an introduction.

The previously subtle expressions of Qing Mu'er and the hostile looks of Qing Xuan'er have returned to normal.

Both of them were somewhat flattered by Ji Nanbei's words.

At Qingfeng Pavilion, it's hard to say that the two of them helped Ji Nanbei.

After all, their young master Ji was far too cunning and capable.

Especially after leaving Tianyao Capital and traveling with Ji Nanbei, the two felt that Ji Nanbei was far inferior to them.

The two were already very proud to be introduced as worthwhile helpers.

Mei'er was taken aback upon hearing this.

What are the forces of the Heavenly Demon Capital?

Young Master Ji went to the Heavenly Demon Capital? And even established his own faction?

Then, Ji Nanbei said to the two of them, "This is Mei'er from the Heavenly Fox Clan, and also my wife."

Qing Mu'er and Qing Xuan'er both nodded.

However, it's clear that Qingxuan'er wasn't entirely convinced.

Upon hearing this, Mei'er was genuinely happy.

When Ji Nanbei couldn't see her, Qing Xuan'er mouthed to Mei'er: "You vixen!"

Mei'er, however, didn't care at all; in fact, she laughed even more heartily.

Mei'er: A vixen? How can that not count?

Ji Nanbei coughed lightly, interrupting the fox and the cat's magical duel.

"By the way, Ji Lang, you mentioned Tianyao Capital? You went there and built up a faction?"

Mei'er asked curiously.

Ji Nanbei briefly recounted the events at Qingfeng Pavilion to Mei'er.

Although brief, it still shocked Mei'er.

She also came from the Heavenly Demon Capital.

The Azure Demon Pavilion has existed for a long time, and Mei'er, as a former member of the royal family of the Heavenly Demon Capital, naturally knew about this giant force within the Heavenly Demon Capital.

It is precisely because I understand the Azure Demon Pavilion that I know how difficult it is to gain a foothold within it.

Mei'er was even more shocked that Ji Nanbei could actually control a branch of the Qingyao Pavilion.

After recounting the events at Qingfeng Pavilion, Ji Nanbei added, "This matter is not worth mentioning; what's important is what's at hand."

The other three were speechless.

Goodness, isn't this something to be proud of?

"This time, I'm here to take you, Mei'er, to the Immortal Capital to meet the Emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty. You will represent the Heavenly Fox Clan."

Mei'er paused for a moment, then pointed to herself.

"I?"

Ji Nanbei nodded.

Ji Nanbei's true form has not yet come into contact with the Celestial Fox Clan. Currently, the only Celestial Fox he can be considered familiar with is Mei'er.

Moreover, Mei'er has been in Dongzhou for so long, and she is meticulous and suitable for this task.

"Once this is done, I can go back to the Celestial Fox Clan for a visit."

Ji Nanbei added.

Mei'er nodded upon hearing this, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

You can go back to the Celestial Fox Clan now.

After the incident in Tianyao Capital, Mei'er even felt that she would never have the chance to return to the Tianhu clan and see her fellow clansmen again.

Afterwards, Ji Nanbei carefully explained to Mei'er the details of attacking Tianyao Capital.

Mei'er was informed of all the questions the Emperor of the Eastern Continent might ask and how to respond to them.

At the same time, it also explains what attitude the Celestial Fox Clan should have.

The Celestial Fox Clan is now seeking cooperation, not aid.

In short, after explaining everything...

Mei'er nodded seriously.

She wrote it all down.

As a demon, Mei'er had managed to build her influence in the Eastern Continent for so long that she was quite adept at dealing with various situations.

Afterwards, Ji Nanbei prepared to have Mei'er explain the Misty Rain Pavilion to him, and then leave with him.

As she turned around, Mei'er suddenly grabbed Ji Nanbei's sleeve.

"Ji Lang, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly these past few days."

Mei'er whispered in Ji Nanbei's ear.

Qingxuan'er immediately jumped out.

Perhaps it was because Lingmei often had the same thoughts in the past, and Qingxuan'er had gotten used to teasing her.

"Fox—fox, how could you do this! A matter of utmost importance is at hand!"

Qingxuan'er wanted to call her a vixen, but she couldn't be too presumptuous because of Ji Nanbei's presence.

Mei'er, however, didn't care at all.

He even beckoned to Qing Mu'er and Qing Xuan'er with his finger.

"How about we go together?"

How could a fox spirit who had lived for countless years not see through the thoughts of the two kittens?

Qing Mu'er and Qing Xuan'er were easily sunk.

"Shameless!"

"Nonsense!"

Ji Nanbei chuckled as he watched this scene.

He then turned around and ruffled Mei'er's hair.

Mei'er's fox ears reappeared on her head and rubbed against Ji Nanbei's palm.

She's so good at it!

Who wouldn't love a kemonomimi (animal-eared girl)?

After rubbing the soft fox ears for a while, Ji Nanbei said, "Stop bullying them. Besides, there's a Sword Sect Master waiting downstairs. We shouldn't keep him waiting too long."

Mei'er nodded.

He then looked at Qing Mu'er and Qing Xuan'er.

The two cats looked angry.

hateful!

That fox!

After Ji Nanbei left, the two cats watched the fox warily.

Before coming, Ji Nanbei had told the two cats that they should temporarily enter their shadows during their journey to Dongzhou.

After all, Mei'er is a celestial fox, so it's reasonable for her to bring two demons with her.

Seeing how wary the two cats were, Mei'er chuckled softly.

These two cats are so naive and easy to understand.

Mei'er even felt a little reluctant to bully the two cats.

In short, let's try to win over the cat's heart first.

Seeing Mei'er's smile, the two cats shivered.

Ji Nanbei, after walking down the second floor from one side, quietly returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Misty Rain Pavilion.

Fortunately, at this moment, a young lady from Yanyu Pavilion was already singing on stage.

Ji Nanbei remained silent, and no one paid any attention.

However, upon entering the hall, Ji Nanbei looked around and was stunned.

Ok?

Why are the Seventh Elder and Heng Lixuan sitting together?

Although the distance wasn't very close, Ji Nanbei's eyesight was unmatched by ordinary people.

Ji Nanbei could clearly see that the Seventh Elder's hand was gripping the sword hilt, and his fingers were obviously exerting extreme force.

The veins on his hands were bulging.

His complexion was also terribly gloomy.

Then, let's look at Heng Lixuan on the other side.

That guy was still talking big and laughing happily.

Ji Nanbei was worried for Heng Lixuan.

Good heavens, that's a Sword Sect Master! If he stabs me with his sword, I reckon Heng will be finished right here.

Ji Nanbei hurriedly walked over.

They were terrified that the Seventh Elder would actually kill Heng Lixuan with a single sword strike.

As Ji Nanbei approached, he heard Heng Lixuan say, "Grandpa, you're a bit quiet. Hmm, I understand, I understand! A bit introverted, huh? It's alright, we're all people who yearn for beauty, listen to this beautiful music..."

Ji Nanbei's lips twitched.

God, it's not talkative.

Ji Nanbei reached out from behind and covered Heng Lixuan's mouth.

Heng Lixuan's eyes widened.

"Ugh, ugh, waaaaaah!" (Help! Someone's trying to murder the handsome guy!)

Ji Nanbei gave the Seventh Elder an apologetic smile.

Just now, Ji Nanbei was so focused on going up to find Mei'er that he forgot that the Seventh Elder, a Sword Sect True Person, had come in. The Seventh Elder waved his hand and didn't blame Ji Nanbei.

The way he looked at Heng Lixuan seemed to flash with the light of a sword.

At this moment, Heng Lixuan finally realized that the person behind him was actually Ji Nanbei.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Mmm! Waaaaah!" (Brother Ji, long time no see!)

Ji Nanbei revealed a kind smile.

"Fellow Daoist Heng, I advise you to stop talking nonsense. The person in front of you—"

Seventh Elder: !

Seeing the Seventh Elder suddenly stand up with a frightened expression, Ji Nanbei understood that the Seventh Elder did not want to reveal his identity.

After all, it wouldn't sound good if word got out that a Sword Sect Master was listening to music in a brothel.

So Ji Nanbei changed his tune: "This person doesn't like to talk. If you keep spouting nonsense, I can't save you."

Heng Lixuan, not understanding what was going on, shut his mouth.

Afterwards, Ji Nanbei and the Seventh Elder walked outside, and Ji Nanbei secretly transmitted his voice to Heng Lixuan, asking, "Did you say you were a disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Sect?"

Heng Lixuan didn't follow, as Ji Nanbei was clearly busy. Hearing Ji Nanbei's telepathic message, he replied, "I already told you, Brother Ji, you know I don't have many other merits, but I'm very good at making friends. I think this..."

"I think he looks kind too."

Ji Nanbei rubbed his forehead.

Before leaving, he transmitted his last words to his brother Heng: "Brother Heng, good luck to you! Don't go back to Tianji Sect for the time being. Stay out here and lay low for a few decades before going back."

Heng Lixuan: ? ? ?

Before I could ask any more questions, Ji Nanbei had already left the Misty Rain Pavilion with the Seventh Elder.

After pondering for a long time, Heng Lixuan still couldn't understand why Brother Ji wanted him not to return to Tianji Sect and to stay away from the limelight.

Sui Heng Lixuan then gave himself a fortune telling.

Let's predict the good or bad fortune of the near future.

The divination result indicated a very bad omen!

Heng Lixuan's face darkened.

After thinking for a while, Heng Lixuan decided to trust his brother.

After leaving the Misty Rain Pavilion, I found a deserted mountain wilderness and hid there to lay low for a while.

however--

Ji Nanbei's reminder was correct.

Later, the Seventh Elder went to the Heavenly Mystery Sect and had a long talk with the sect leader. After the Seventh Elder left, the sect leader ordered all disciples to go down the mountain to find Heng Lixuan.

Finally, unable to contain his anger, the leader of the Tianji Sect cast a divination and personally went to arrest Heng Lixuan (Nuo De Zhao).

Poor Heng Lixuan, although he managed to hide, the sect leader of the Tianji Sect was far more accomplished in the art of divination than he was.

Finally, they were captured and brought back to the mountain gate.

As for the outcome—

That would be terrible.

Ahem, let's get back to the present.

After Ji Nanbei and the Seventh Elder left the Misty Rain Pavilion, Mei'er came out from the back door of the pavilion not long after.

At this moment, Mei'er had completely changed her appearance.

Even Ji Nanbei couldn't see the flaw.

If Mei'er hadn't taken the initiative to transmit her voice, Ji Nanbei wouldn't have been able to confirm it.

It can only be said that Mei'er is indeed highly skilled in this area.

Otherwise, Lin Mengxi wouldn't have thought of sending Ji Nanbei to the Misty Rain Pavilion so that Mei'er could change his appearance.

After that, the three of them embarked on their journey to the Immortal Capital.

There was nothing to say on the way, so the need for snoring was omitted.

When the three of them arrived outside the Immortal Capital and landed from the sky, Ji Nanbei finally saw the most prosperous city in the Eastern Continent with his own eyes.

The Immortal Capital is vast. Although it cannot compare to the Heavenly Demon Capital, which can be considered a kingdom, its scale is still terrifying.

As Ji Nanbei fell from the sky, he realized that the Immortal Capital he had seen in the palace when he possessed Youwei that day was not the whole picture.

Outside the royal palace, there are still many areas within the city of Xiandu.

Moreover, it all looks prosperous and thriving now.

Ji Nanbei had begun to believe that Youwei's descriptions of the emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty were true.

After all, such a prosperous era would certainly not be possible without a wise ruler.

Entering the city of Xiandu...

Looking at the cultivators and mortals coming and going around him, Ji Nanbei felt even more certain.

The mortals in the Immortal Capital seem to be living quite well.

At least it didn't seem like many people were starving, and many had smiles on their faces.

"The environment in Xiandu is really nice."

Ji Nanbei sighed.

The Seventh Elder and Mei'er both nodded.

This point is beyond reproach.

"If even the immortal capital is so prosperous, then the emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty must be an excellent and wise ruler."

Ji Nanbei said another sentence.

As a result, this time both the Seventh Elder and Mei'er seemed hesitant to speak.

Ji Nanbei was somewhat puzzled.

Looking at their reactions

Why did their expressions turn so strange when the Emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty was mentioned?

"What's the problem?"

Ji Nanbei asked in confusion.

Mei'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not a problem."

Although within the Eastern Continent, there are constant criticisms of the current emperor.

However, Mei'er also felt that although the current emperor was a woman, he was indeed a wise ruler who led the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty to prosperity.

The Seventh Elder shook his head.

The Seventh Elder did not want to make too many comments about this matter.

Ji Nanbei shrugged.

Ok.

Anyway, we'll be seeing that emperor soon.

Instead of listening to what others have to say...

Ji Nanbei felt that what he saw and felt with his own eyes was more accurate.

Passing through the fairy capital.

The three of them soon arrived outside the palace.

Looking at the towering palace walls and the guards outside the gate, Ji Nanbei suddenly felt something was amiss.

I wonder if I'll get to see Youwei this time.

Previously, Youwei was still in the palace.

Whether he left or not, Ji Nanbei didn't know.

Ji Nanbei's feelings towards Youwei were quite subtle.

On the one hand, Ji Nanbei admired Youwei, after all, she had extraordinary methods, formidable strength, a meticulous mind, and was also bold in thinking and doing some things.

After all, assassinating the emperor and seizing power is not a decision that can be made on a whim.

Although he has a somewhat domineering desire for control, it's not a big problem; those in high positions will have such minor issues to some extent.

On the other hand, Ji Nanbei was also somewhat afraid to see Youwei.

That master, you must be careful when you talk to someone during each possession, because you might accidentally reveal information about your original body.

Ji Nanbei dared not even think about it. If they were to face each other directly, and their information were equal, would he still be able to gain the upper hand?

However, Ji Nanbei quickly shook the thought out of his mind.

This time, I've come to meet the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Continent.

Let's focus on dealing with this wise ruler first.

Upon approaching the guards, Ji Nanbei said directly, "We are special envoys, here to meet His Majesty."

This was also something Youwei had previously told Ji Nanbei.

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately said, "Please wait a moment, I will inform the palace immediately, and someone will come to receive you three shortly."

Ji Nanbei nodded.

It seems that Youwei is indeed reliable.

The royal palace should have already notified them.

It's incredibly convenient; you only need to say a word, and someone will come to make the arrangements.

The guard took out a token from his storage ring and activated it by injecting spiritual energy.

Soon, the palace gates were flung open.

Several people came out to greet them.

Ji Nanbei was familiar with the person in charge.

It was Lu Fuguang traveling in Dongzhou.

However, the other party doesn't know Ji Nanbei.

"Greetings, all three of you. Greetings, Seven Immortals. You have come on behalf of the Sword Sect. Please come in. His Majesty has already instructed you to come."

Lu Fuguang greeted them as he led the three of them into the palace.

At the same time, the people following behind Lu Fuguang also came forward and stood on either side of the three.

Those were several palace maids.

"This must be the legendary number one rogue demon. I've heard so much about him."

As Lu Fuguang walked ahead, he didn't forget to chat with Ji Nanbei and the others.

Ji Nanbei waved his hand.

"Lu Xing is exaggerating."

Lu Fuguang's eyes lit up.

"Oh? Young Master Ji, you still recognize me."

The form of address was changed accordingly.

As a member of the Eastern Continent, Lu Fuguang's skill in building relationships was so adept, it was as if he had learned it from somewhere.

Perhaps it was through working outside that he gradually honed his skills.

Ji Nanbei smiled and said, "I've heard Jingxi mention Lu Xingxing before, saying that Lu Xingxing—"

Ji Nanbei naturally continued the conversation.

Once inside the palace, although they hadn't been there long, the two of them chatted like old friends.

The Seventh Elder couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Young Master Ji—is he really so adept at dealing with people?

Quite a kind of—

!! ?

The Seventh Elder suddenly felt that Ji Nanbei's way of doing things was quite similar to that of his own Little Sword Immortal.

Just like when our little sword immortal traveled to various sects and schools back then.

They are all extremely elegant.

For a moment, the Seventh Elder fell into deep thought.

Lu Fuguang led the group to a side hall and stopped.

"Gentlemen, please rest here for a while. These palace maids will inform you of some palace rules, but you can rest assured that they will not be very strict."

"After all, the three of you hold positions of authority, but this is the proper etiquette within the palace. His Majesty will summon you shortly."

The three nodded, showing little resistance.

After all, he was the emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty, the master of a super-powerful force.

It's normal to show them some courtesy.

The Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty would never make them kneel or anything like that, unless that emperor has become so arrogant as to go mad.

The three were then each led into a room in a side hall.

Two palace maids followed Ji Nanbei into the room.

Two palace maids instructed Ji Nanbei on some proper etiquette.

It's actually quite simple; there are only a few rules regarding the way you speak and your posture.

Ji Nanbei listened for a moment and then indicated that he had memorized it.

After the two palace maids finished speaking, they exchanged a glance.

Then, the two suddenly took out some robes from their storage rings.

Ji Nanbei: ?

"Young Master Ji, when you meet His Majesty, please change into special formal attire; it will make you appear more dignified."

Although Ji Nanbei felt a little strange, he still accepted the clothes.

Upon closer inspection of the results—

Good heavens, that's so flashy!

Ji Nanbei pointed to the robe in his hand.

"Are you sure this is formal attire? Can you really wear this to meet the Emperor?"

No further description is needed; one sentence is enough to give everyone a direct sense of just how flashy and extravagant this dress is.

Do you know about the flowery clothes that attract bees and butterflies?

It's even more vibrant and eye-catching than that one.

Ji Nanbei felt that if he were to wear this to meet the Emperor, he would feel terrible.

They absolutely had to drag someone out of the palace.

But surely these two palace maids wouldn't harm me for no reason?

The two palace maids nodded in agreement.

"Please make sure you wear this formal attire; it is a special courtesy requested by His Majesty."

Ji Nanbei: ?

Special requests are acceptable.

The emperor of the Eastern Continent Immortal Dynasty must have some strange quirks.

Just as Ji Nanbei was about to refuse.

Two palace maids quickly stepped forward.

"Young Master Ji, let us help you change your clothes!"

Ji Nanbei: !?

"Oh no, no need, no need!"
