Early the next morning, the sun had just risen.
Ji Tianxing changed into a white robe with patterns of stars and clouds and a jade crown with the help of maids.
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he walked out of the room and stood under the eaves of the door, observing the situation in the house.
This was a yard in the depth of the palace. It was built in a magnificent manner and the environment was quiet and elegant.
There were guards on all the roads and gates. There were more than a dozen young and beautiful maids in the hall.
"Lu Li is so sincere. Keeping me in the Hall of Tranquility is just the first step. He must have other plans and means."
Ji Tianxing thought to himself. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes.
Right at that moment, a crisp and pleasant voice of a lady came from next to him.
"Young Master Ji, how come you are in the mood to watch the sunrise so early in the morning?"
Hearing the voice, Ji Tianxing turned to the right. He saw a slim and graceful figure in a white dress standing under the eaves of the corridor.
It was a young lady of about 20 years old. She was pure and beautiful. Her eyebrows were like mountains and her eyes were as clear as water.
She was wearing a simple but elegant white dress and a pair of hairpins. She was dignified and graceful. She was a rare beauty.
Ji Tianxing recognized her at once. She was the No. 1 genius of the Empire of Thousand Snow, Jiang Ningxue.
Ji Tianxing was surprised. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Jiang Ningxue? What are you doing here? "
Jiang Ningxue put on a gentle smile. She walked to him and said in a gentle voice, "Young Master Ji, have you forgotten? I am a citizen of the Empire of Thousand Snow. Now that the Crown Prince has come to the Mount of Gods to pay his respects, I must come to pay my respects to him.
Before the Crown Prince leaves the Mount of Gods, I will stay in the Hall of Tranquility for a few days.
Coincidentally, my room is right next to Young Master Ji's. Perhaps … this is fate? "
"Fate?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "Maybe."
He thought to himself, "Only a fool would believe this is fate!
Last night, Lu Li said he wanted to set me up with Jiang Ningxue. This morning, Jiang Ningxue showed up in the room next to mine.
How could Lu Li be so obvious? "
Jiang Ningxue noticed that he seemed to be lost in thought, so she took the initiative to say, "Young Master Ji, this is the first time we've come to Mount God Bestowment. We haven't walked around since we arrived.
If Young Master Ji doesn't mind, would Young Master Ji accompany me for a stroll around the palace and enjoy the scenery? "
As if she was afraid that Ji Tianxing would misunderstand, she added, "Early on during the worship ceremony, I paid close attention to you and was curious about you.
Now that I finally have the opportunity to come into contact with you, it is my honor to be able to talk to you face to face. "
"How can I refuse a beauty's invitation? Wouldn't it spoil the scenery?" Ji Tianxing nodded calmly and agreed to her request.
Thus, the two of them walked side by side, casually strolling around the palace, chatting as they walked.
Jiang Ningxue's appearance and temperament were outstanding. She also had a faint natural fragrance. Her breath smelled like orchids when she spoke.
She and Ji Tianxing were close to each other, as if they were a couple who had fallen in love with each other. Her faint fragrance kept teasing Ji Tianxing's heart.
If he were an ordinary young man, he would have been tempted by her.
Even if he didn't take advantage of her, he would keep glancing at her curvaceous and graceful figure.
However, Ji Tianxing remained calm and his eyes were clear. There was not a trace of distracting thoughts in his mind.
Soon, two hours passed.
Ji Tianxing and Jiang Ningxue walked around the Temple of Tranquility. They admired the two gardens and the crystal lake before returning to their residence.
Ji Tianxing found some clues after spending two hours with her.
While he was thinking, Jiang Ningxue also remained silent. She seemed to be absent-minded as if she had something on her mind.
Based on Jiang Ningxue's expressions, reactions and some of her actions, Lu Li could tell that Jiang Ningxue was trying to please him, but in fact, she was resisting him.
He immediately understood that Jiang Ningxue didn't want to please him, but she had to compromise because of Lu Li's order.
Also, Jiang Ningxue was a dignified and graceful lady, unlike Lu Li who was cunning and couldn't hide his thoughts and secrets.
Understanding this, Ji Tianxing decided to find a chance to test Jiang Ningxue further.
The two of them returned to their residence and sat down to rest under a thousand-year-old pine.
The maids had already placed all kinds of fruits, pastries and tea on the stone table under the tree for them to enjoy.
Jiang Ningxue sat in a dignified posture, holding a teacup and drinking tea.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he had an idea.
He looked at Jiang Ningxue and said with a smile, "Lady Jiang, among the geniuses of the six states, you are one of the top three. I admire you very much.
Recently, when I was cultivating my swordsmanship, I encountered some bottlenecks and questions that I couldn't solve.
Lady Jiang, please help me to see what is wrong with my swordsmanship and how I can break through the bottleneck. "
With that said, he took out a black sword from his Interspatial Ring before waiting for Jiang Ningxue's answer or not.
This one-meter-long black sword had an exquisite and gorgeous design. A lifelike black dragon was coiled around the hilt.
The sword was emitting a sharp coldness. Clearly, it was a rare Relic weapon in the world.
After all … this was the Black Dragon Sword that the little black dragon had transformed into.
Ji Tianxing had just communicated with the little black dragon with his spiritual power and confirmed his plan.
Holding the Black Dragon Sword, he stood up and walked to the center of the yard, ready to display his swordsmanship.
Jiang Ningxue, who had been absent-minded, suddenly saw the Black Dragon Sword in his hand. She was refreshed and her eyes glowed.
She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart. She pretended to be calm as she looked at Ji Tianxing and asked, "Young Master Ji, the sword in your hand is no ordinary item. It must be a peerless Relic, right?"
Jiang Ningxue's reaction made Ji Tianxing laugh inwardly. He was even more certain of his guess.
He nodded at Jiang Ningxue and said with a proud expression, "Of course! If you want to become an expert in the Way of the Sword, you must have an extraordinary sword.
And this sword in my hand is a divine weapon that is one in a million … "
Jiang Ningxue saw his proud expression and became even more anxious. She stared at the Black Dragon Sword, almost unable to move her eyes away.
"Young Master Ji, since this sword is so extraordinary, it must have a famous name, right?"
Hearing this question, Ji Tianxing immediately frowned. He nodded with a strange expression and said, "Of course it has a name, but it's not famous. It's a little strange.
This sword is called Burial Of Heaven! This name is a little … sigh! "
When he said this, the voice of the Burial Of Heaven suddenly sounded in his mind. It said with some displeasure, "Even if you want to put on an act, don't slander me, alright?"
Ji Tianxing hurriedly transmitted his voice to persuade it, "Burial Of Heaven. You just need to sleep and recuperate. Don't worry about these trivial matters."
