Yan Yongning agreed to help, but he made a request.
Moreover, these words were very sensitive and should not be heard by others.
Yan Yongning wanted to get rid of Grand Prince Lian to prevent future trouble.
However, he could not do it himself, nor could he let the imperial family do it, lest it affect his reputation.
Therefore, he could only rely on external forces.
Ji Tianxing was the best candidate.
Ji Tianxing agreed to Yan Yongning's request without hesitation.
"No problem! Even if you didn't ask, I was going to do it. "
Yan Yongning was very satisfied with Ji Tianxing's answer.
He nodded slightly and said, "Very good! It's easy to deal with smart people. I'll go tell the elders now. You can wait here! "
"Go ahead." Ji Tianxing spread out his hands and waited patiently in the hall.
Yan Yongning left the hall and rushed to the library to meet the elders.
Naturally, the Black Flame Governor, who had transformed into a wisp of black mist, followed behind Yan Yongning.
Previously in the hall, the Black Flame Governor had been invisible and restrained himself from saying a word.
Now that he had left the hall, the Black Flame Governor could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, although I understand your concerns, you are too indulgent of that kid."
Yan Yongning's face darkened as he said in a low voice, "Now the investigation of the Green Jade Palace has reached the most critical moment, and there can be no mistakes.
Although I am confident that I can kill this kid, I will have to pay a heavy price. The gains do not make up for the losses.
Only a wise man can know when to yield and when to stand tall and when to advance and when to retreat. "
The Black Flame Governor was silent for a moment before he continued, "Even so, you should not have agreed to help him enter the library.
Even if you refuse him directly, he will not make a scene in the palace and will leave sensibly. "
Yan Yongning shook his head and said in a firm tone, "No, you are wrong! He is very sure that there is a library in the palace that collects ancient history books.
If I refuse him, he will definitely sneak in by hook or by crook.
I can see that this kid is very arrogant and conceited. He does things regardless of the consequences, as if he doesn't know what fear is. "
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Furthermore, I only promised to help him ask the Pavilion Elders. I can't guarantee that he will be able to enter the Library Pavilion."
The Black Flame Governor said with a complicated tone, "But you're the ruler of the empire after all. Once you've given the order, you have to get it done. Otherwise, it will damage the imperial prestige."
Yan Yongning laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Right now, my throne is not stable yet, and I have not completely controlled the entire Divine Kingdom. Those damned rebels are still looking for opportunities to overthrow me.
What vast and mighty imperial might? That was all for outsiders to see.
I'm already very sullen as an emperor, so why would I care about prestige? "
Since the conversation had reached this point, the Black Flame Governor had nothing else to say. He just sighed.
"Sigh … Your Majesty has always been wise and decisive. I hope that you will be right as always and that things will go smoothly."
"Definitely." Yan Yongning murmured in a firm tone.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the depths of the Imperial Palace, outside an inconspicuous black palace.
This ancient, mottled, and inconspicuous palace was far less magnificent and dazzling than the other palaces.
It looked like an abandoned palace that had been in disrepair for a long time, exuding an ancient and vicissitude aura.
Yan Yongning walked to the palace gate and said with a solemn expression, "I request to see the four Pavilion Elders!"
As his dignified voice fell, several figures suddenly appeared outside the originally empty palace gate.
They were several elite Imperial Guard powerhouses, and they quickly knelt on one knee and saluted Yan Yongning.
Then, the Imperial Guard powerhouses opened the gate, and Yan Yongning stepped in and disappeared into the darkness.
The Black Flame Governor, who had transformed into a wisp of black mist, stayed outside the palace gate and waited patiently.
…
Ji Tianxing waited for a full 15 minutes in the hall where Yan Yongning lived.
Finally, Yan Yongning returned with the Black Flame Governor.
Ji Tianxing quickly looked at Yan Yongning and asked, "How's the situation? Did the Pavilion Elders agree? "
"This …" Yan Yongning's expression was somewhat complicated.
After hesitating for a moment, he explained, "Tianxing, I have already told the Pavilion Elders about this.
They did not agree, but they did not refuse either.
However … you have to follow me to the Book Collection Pavilion. The four Pavilion Elders want to see you, and they might give you some tests. "
"The four Pavilion Elders want to test me?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't tell me it's another boring challenge and martial arts competition?"
Yan Yongning frowned and said with some displeasure, "If you are afraid, you don't have to go.
I have to remind you that the four Pavilion Elders are all top Sir Gods who are close to 20,000 years old, and they are very powerful.
They have lived in the Book Collection Pavilion for a long time and can be said to be well-read. They know about the past and the present, and they are very knowledgeable.
However, their temperaments are a little strange. "
Yan Yongning told Ji Tianxing the situation, hoping that he would back off. That would make things easier.
However, how could Ji Tianxing be scared?
He just smiled and said in an indifferent tone, "Let's not waste any more time. Take this Monarch there now."
Yan Yongning frowned again, but did not say anything. He brought him out of the hall and rushed to the Book Collection Pavilion.
Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the ancient black palace.
Yan Yongning walked to the palace door and said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Elders, I have brought Tianxing here."
As his voice fell, the thick and sturdy palace doors slowly opened to both sides.
"Creak creak creak …"
The door opened a gap, which was only two feet wide, just enough for one person to pass through.
Yan Yongning looked at Ji Tianxing and said expressionlessly, "You can go in. I still have things to deal with, so I will not wait for you."
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile, "What? You don't want to know the result? "
Yan Yongning said expressionlessly, "Even if the result is out, it will not be done in a short time.
Besides, someone will naturally report the result to me. "
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart and didn't want to wait for the result.
In his opinion, the four Pavilion Elders were deliberately making things difficult for Ji Tianxing.
Even if Ji Tianxing had great ability, it was impossible for him to pass the test. Failure was inevitable.
Since that was the case, why should he waste his time?
Ji Tianxing could roughly guess what he was thinking. He just smiled and didn't say anything else.
He stepped into the dark hall and his figure disappeared in the darkness.
BAM!
The palace door slammed and made a muffled sound.
Yan Yongning said expressionlessly, "Stay here and report to me as soon as you have the result."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
The Black Flame Governor complied and turned into a wisp of black mist, staying in place.
