Qian Zhan's visit to the Palace of Stars was just a cover.
His real purpose was to meet the Seventh Hallmaster and figure out his background.
Now, not only did he meet the Seventh Hallmaster, but he also witnessed the Seventh Hallmaster's shrewdness and strength.
If Qian Zhan were him, he would probably find some excuses to have more contact with the Seventh Hallmaster in order to have a deeper understanding of him.
But he was Qian Zhan and was not good at feigning civility. In a verbal confrontation with the Seventh Hallmaster, he could not gain any advantage.
Therefore, after Qian Zhan gave the gift and complimented the Seventh Hallmaster, he was about to leave.
On the contrary, the Seventh Hallmaster, Dao Xingyun, had already seen through Qian Zhan's intention and knew that Qian Zhan's nature was not good, so he was very "enthusiastic" to keep Qian Zhan.
Dao Xingyun even invited Qian Zhan to tour the garden and give him pointers on how to arrange the palaces and courtyards around the Palace of Stars, and what to build.
Dao Xingyun's words and actions all revealed one meaning. Not only did he not reject Qian Zhan, but he also intended to rope him in.
This made Qian Zhan at a loss, and he was even more convinced that Dao Xingyun was a hypocrite.
However, he had to pretend to be flattered, and face Dao Xingyun with a happy and respectful attitude, which made him very uncomfortable.
Qian Zhan was afraid that if he stayed in the Palace of Stars for too long, he would be seen through by the Seventh Hallmaster before he could figure out his background.
Therefore, he ignored the Seventh Hallmaster's enthusiasm to stay and insisted on leaving.
Ji Tianxing followed behind him, and he had been very quiet and inconspicuous, so he was not noticed by Dao Xingyun.
It was not until Qian Zhan and others left the Palace of Stars and flew back to their residence that Ji Tianxing found that Qian Zhan was obviously relieved.
Ji Tianxing secretly laughed at this.
With Qian Zhan's shrewdness and scheming methods, even with Qian Zhan's full help, he could not become a Hallmaster, let alone be mentioned in the same breath as Dao Xingyun.
On the other side, Dao Xingyun enthusiastically sent Qian Zhan and the others off.
He stood at the entrance of the hall and watched Qian Zhan and the others fly into the sky. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a meaningful sneer.
In the past few years, he had also heard from the many soldiers under the Divine Hall that the First Hall Master had promised to fight for the position of Hall Master.
With his cautious personality, he had long regarded hidden warfare as a potential opponent and enemy.
But later on, when he seriously investigated Hidden Warfare's information, he discovered that Hidden Warfare's strength was very low. Even after ten thousand years of breaking through to the God Emperor realm, he had not made any progress.
Coupled with Hidden Warfare's fiery temper and personality, he was a fierce general who fought on the battlefield, but he didn't have much shrewdness and schemes.
Therefore, Dao Xingyun analyzed and judged that it would be difficult for hidden warfare to pose a threat to him.
Dao Xingyun was also deeply surprised when the guard came to inform her that Hidden Warrior had come to visit and congratulate her.
He was still guessing and trying to figure out what was going on. How could a shrewd person like him have such courage?
Could it be that there was an expert who gave him advice?
Or could it be that the information about Hidden Warfare that he had previously investigated was all a disguise that Hidden Warfare had put on for many years?
With such doubts in mind, Dao Xingyun did not hesitate to receive Hidden Warfare. He personally talked and interacted with him.
After a few rounds of verbal exchanges, Dao Xingyun finally found out about Hidden Warfare's background.
That's right, Hidden Warfare had received advice from an expert and had improved compared to before.
But his improvement was minimal and his nature could not be changed. In the end, it was impossible for him to be too shrewd and scheming.
It was because of this that Dao Xingyun was completely at ease and removed his vigilance and wariness towards Hidden Warfare.
In his opinion, Hidden Warfare was completely unqualified to fight with him and could not threaten his position.
… …
Hidden Warfare was very depressed and returned to his residence with a black face.
Many of the guards saw his expression and guessed that he must have run into a wall when he went to find the Seventh Hall Master.
Even if there was no conflict between the two, Hidden Warfare definitely did not gain any advantage.
But everyone had already expected this result and did not feel surprised or strange.
Only the immortal guards and the young geniuses and elites living nearby secretly rejoiced in Hidden Warfare's misfortune when they saw him run into a wall.
In fact, although Hidden Warfare was not shrewd, he was not to the extent that he did not even have this little bit of self-control.
As long as he did not want to be seen as a joke, he could completely control his emotions and not let anyone see any clues.
But he did not conceal it and even slightly exaggerated his black face and did not say a word.
This was no doubt another 'performance' that was specially made for everyone to see and even the Hall Masters to see.
Just like what Qian Gui had taught him, he could not show his dissatisfaction but also had to show the regret and unwillingness in his heart.
So far, Hidden Warfare had succeeded. It was just that his method was a little lacking and he did not do it well enough.
After Hidden Warfare returned to his residence, he shut himself in his study and reported the situation to Qian Gui.
Ji Tianxing returned to his room to rest. He silently recalled Dao Xingyun's every action and every word, including some undetectable details.
He wanted to sort out those trivial details and find out more information about Dao Xingyun from them.
This move was of course effective. It also allowed him to analyze some information from Dao Xingyun's words and actions and details.
For example, the Head Hall Master appreciated and supported Dao Xingyun. There was no doubt about this.
But Ji Tianxing believed that the Head Hall Master did not confer Dao Xingyun as the Seventh Hall Master only because of this. It was most likely because he was the 'Chosen One'.
In addition, Dao Xingyun said that he was on good terms with the other Hall Masters and everyone got along very well.
But when he said these words, there was a slight change in his eyes and his tone and voice paused for a moment.
From this, it could be seen that his relationship with the other Hall Masters was not as harmonious as he said.
If the six Hall Masters appreciated him and were on good terms with him, then there would be more palaces and houses near his Fanxing Palace, and there would be more people.
Ji Tianxing thought to himself that the other Hall Masters' attitudes towards Dao Xingyun might be the breakthrough point that he wanted to target.
But as for which Hall Master, or which Hall Master, did not like Dao Xingyun, further investigation was needed.
In addition, Dao Xingyun had just joined the Taiyu Shrine and knew that he was in a difficult situation.
Therefore, he was especially modest, cautious, and magnanimous. He wanted to leave a good impression on everyone and build a good relationship with the experts in the Taiyu Secret Realm as soon as possible.
Only in this way could he gradually develop and accumulate power. Only in this way would he have the qualifications to be on equal footing with the other Hall Masters in the future.
"Next, Qian Gui will probably persuade Qian Zhan to pay a visit to the other Hall Masters to test their attitudes and attitudes.
I only need to follow Qian Zhan to get some information. "
After pondering and analyzing, Ji Tianxing concluded and patiently waited for Qian Zhan's next move.
Just as expected.
Qian Zhan rested in the study for an entire day. The next morning, he ordered the guard captain to prepare a gift.
The guard captain asked him what he was going to do, and he replied that he was going to visit the Second Hall Master.
