The news of the Emperor Pavilion spread like wildfire. Many people were discussing in private. Although the governor's manor was extremely powerful, they couldn't control the mouths of others. Could it be that the governor's manor could stop people from speaking?
But even so, the governor's manor still didn't do anything. They did things their own way and basically didn't seriously investigate the matter of the Emperor Pavilion being targeted.
This was because there was no way to investigate this matter. Commander Xiahou already knew who did it. Furthermore, the other party had received a hint from him. How could they investigate? Could it be that he was the one being investigated?
Naturally, Xia Hou could also find a scapegoat to give the Emperor Pavilion an explanation, allowing the Emperor Pavilion to reopen. This way, the curses would lessen and in the future, those people wouldn't dare to jump out to deal with the Emperor Pavilion. If not, wouldn't Xia Hou lose all his face?
But even so, Xia Hou wasn't willing. The arrogant him wanted the Emperor Pavilion to scram. In fact, he even wanted Di Tian's life.
An initial-stage immortal emperor, no matter how strong his formations and weaponsmithing abilities were, so what of it? As long as he wasn't strong enough, he could leave the governor's manor and there would be ways to kill him. At that time, the other major powers would definitely be able to use him and they would naturally act to deal with him.
Time flowed by day after day. Many people were silently thinking that this time around, the Emperor Pavilion was truly finished. The governor's manor was determined to kill them. Seems like Grandmaster Di must have offended Governor Xia Hou. If not, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
Two months later, although the Emperor Pavilion closed its trading and auction market, it wouldn't truly close its doors. At this moment, a female immortal emperor came to the Emperor Pavilion to pay her respects.
Mo Junyi received her. This female immortal emperor had an extraordinary demeanor, her eyes were spirited and she exuded the aura of a ruler. She then asked, "Is Grandmaster Di not around?"
"Recently, the pavilion master has been worrying about the matters of the Emperor Pavilion and is currently in seclusion contemplating." Mo Junyi smiled and replied.
"I wish to invite Grandmaster Di to forge a divine weapon for me. Can you recommend me?" The female immortal emperor spoke to Mo Junyi.
"This …" Mo Junyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go and inform the Pavilion Master and see if he's busy."
"Alright." The female immortal emperor nodded. After that, Mo Junyi left. After Di Tian received the news, his immortal sense permeated the area. After that, his eyes flashed with a strange light as he smiled at Mo Junyi, "Invite her to my place."
Mo Junyi initially thought that Di Tian would reject. A look of bewilderment appeared on her face but she still nodded her head. An instant later, she brought that female immortal emperor to the courtyard where Di Tian stayed.
"Grandmaster Di." The female immortal emperor nodded her head slightly when she saw Di Tian. She didn't show any signs of respect and merely calmly greeted him.
"I heard that you want to forge a weapon. I wonder what grade of weapon you want to forge?" Di Tian asked.
"Grandmaster Di is proficient in sealing-type emperor-ranked weapons. In that case, I will choose a mid-grade emperor-ranked weapon. I'm fine with anything else." The female immortal emperor replied.
"I have a few mid-grade emperor-ranked weapons here. You can choose one yourself." Di Tian waved his hand and took out a few well-forged weapons. The eyes of the female immortal emperor flashed as she stared at the row of weapons. She silently mused that the rumors weren't false after all. This Di Tian's weaponsmithing abilities simply surpassed her imagination. Forging weapons seemed to be very simple for him, able to forge high-grade emperor-ranked weapons every month. It was like as long as he willed it, he would be able to forge many divine weapons.
The female immortal emperor chose a sword-shaped weapon and asked, "What's the price of this weapon?"
"Five hundred high-grade emperor stones." Di Tian replied.
"As expected of Grandmaster Di. Your mid-grade emperor-ranked weapons are all priced at high-grade emperor stones. Awesome." The female immortal emperor laughed. With a wave of her hand, she took out five hundred high-grade emperor stones and passed them to Di Tian.
Di Tian bitterly smiled and shook his head, "The Emperor Pavilion is going to close soon. In the future, I can only rely on forging divine weapons to exchange for cultivation resources."
"Speaking of which, I'm really curious. Right now, the commotion in Lifire City is already spreading like wildfire. Grandmaster Di, how did you offend Governor Xia Hou exactly? Is there really no way to turn things around?" The female immortal emperor laughed.
"If I had the slightest chance to turn things around, I wouldn't have temporarily closed the Emperor Pavilion. In truth, the Emperor Pavilion is truly finished now." Di Tian bitterly smiled as he shook his head. "I didn't merely offend Governor Xia Hou."
"What do you mean by that?" The female immortal emperor asked.
"Forget it, it's fine if you don't want to say it. Don't invite trouble." Di Tian waved his hands.
"Grandmaster Di, I'm really curious. I hope that Grandmaster Di can tell me. I guarantee that I won't leak this out." The female immortal emperor spoke.
"Since I'm about to leave, there's no harm in telling you. The person I offended is the Lifire Empyrean, how would I still have any chance?" Di Tian's eyes flickered with loneliness.
"The Lifire Empyrean has always been staying in the Lifire Palace. It's very rare for outsiders to come into contact with him. Grandmaster Di, how did you offend the Lifire Empyrean?" The female immortal emperor grew even more curious as she continued to ask.
"An ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. The Lifire Empyrean felt that since I'm proficient in weaponsmithing, I should be used by him. Hence, he sent Governor Xia Hou here to threaten me, wanting me to join the governor's manor and become a weaponsmith under him. In the future, I'll specialize in weaponsmithing for Governor Xia Hou and the Lifire Empyrean. If I refuse, my Emperor Pavilion can forget about continuing to operate here. Although I, Di, am untalented, I have my own pride. How can I be threatened? I rejected Governor Xia Hou and offended the Lifire Empyrean. Hence, you can see the consequences …"
Di Tian sighed, feeling even more desolate.
"What sort of character is the Lifire Empyrean? Although you are a weaponsmithing grandmaster, do you think he would bother with you? Maybe Grandmaster Di has misunderstood. "The female immortal emperor frowned, a hint of arrogance could be seen in the center of her brows, adding to her beauty.
Di Tian stared at her appearance, silently musing that as expected of the Lifire Empyrean's personal attendant. Her demeanor was extraordinary and the Lifire Empyrean's judgement wasn't bad, he was actually able to groom such a beautiful immortal emperor.
So it turned out that this female was none other than one of the two serving girls by the Lifire Empyrean's side. Qin Wentian had seen her many times before, how could he not recognize her?
Naturally, he still pretended that he didn't know. He sighed, "I initially thought so as well, thinking that given the Lifire Empyrean's character, he wouldn't bother with a minor character like me. But you have also seen the truth. If it wasn't for the Lifire Empyrean's instructions, how would Governor Xia Hou dare to be so audacious, disregarding such a scandal and wanting to kill me? I have no grudge with Governor Xia Hou."
"The human heart is unfathomable. Di Tian still doesn't know what will happen in the future. It's best for you not to make wild guesses and slander the Lifire Empyrean." The female immortal emperor exuded a faint arrogance. Di Tian's eyes flashed as he stared at her, "Who are you exactly?"
"Grandmaster Di, you're on your own now. Farewell." The female immortal emperor turned and directly soared into the air, departing the area. Mo Junyi's beautiful eyes flashed, feeling somewhat unhappy with her attitude. She wanted to say something but Di Tian sent a voice transmission to stop her, causing her to feel extremely puzzled.
"This female immortal emperor is so arrogant." Mo Junyi calmly spoke.
"How can the Lifire Empyrean's woman not be arrogant?" Di Tian laughed. Mo Junyi's beautiful eyes instantly froze as she stared at Di Tian in astonishment.
It was actually the Lifire Empyrean's woman who paid a visit in secret. Purchasing the divine weapon was merely something she did in passing. As for Di Tian, he intentionally said those words to her.
However, Mo Junyi was even more curious. This female immortal emperor was the Lifire Empyrean's woman yet she came out to handle some matters. Clearly, she wasn't the main wife and would rarely leave the Lifire Empyrean's side. There shouldn't be many people who knew of her or she wouldn't have come here so openly.
How did Di Tian get to know her? Mo Junyi was also somewhat curious about Di Tian's true identity.
…
After the Lifire Empyrean's serving girl left the Emperor Pavilion, she directly sped towards the governor's manor.
Governor Xia Hou naturally personally came to welcome her. He asked with some bewilderment, "Fairy Purple Moon, why are you so free to come to the governor's manor?"
"Why? Can't I come?" The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor's eyes flashed with coldness as she spoke to Xia Hou.
"That's not my intention. It's just that Fairy Purple Moon often follows the Lifire Empyrean by his side. Hence, I feel a little puzzled." Xia Hou shook his head. "Quickly invite her in."
Although he, Xia Hou, was a governor, what sort of character was the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor? She was the Lifire Empyrean's woman. As a subordinate of Xia Hou, although his authority was great, how could he dare to be disrespectful to the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor? Wouldn't that be smacking the Lifire Empyrean's face?
"No need, I'll leave after asking a few questions." The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor's expression was calm. "Are you the one who interfered in the matters of the Emperor Pavilion?"
Xia Hou's eyes flashed, he didn't understand what the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor meant by this. Why would such a matter alarm the Lifire Empyrean?
"Xia Hou is fearful. Does the Lifire Empyrean have any instructions for me?" Xia Hou asked.
"The Lifire Empyrean didn't give any instructions but you actually used his name to do what you want?" The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor coldly snorted. Xia Hou hurriedly bowed, "Xia Hou doesn't dare."
"You really don't dare?" The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor stared at Xia Hou as she coldly asked. "I'm asking you now, you better answer truthfully or you will have to bear the consequences. Firstly, did you participate in the matters of the Emperor Pavilion?"
Xia Hou's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He didn't really care about the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor but her words could very well represent the Lifire Empyrean. He couldn't help but to be cautious and replied, "I received the Lifire Empyrean's orders to invite Di Tian. That fellow didn't give face to the Lifire Empyrean just because of his status as a weaponsmith grandmaster. He was simply too brazen. I didn't interfere in this matter and merely closed one eye, wanting to teach Di Tian a lesson."
"Let me ask you one more time. When you recruited Di Tian, did you follow the Lifire Empyrean's instructions and told him that if he agreed, the Lifire Empyrean would be willing to give him a position equal to a governor. You better answer me truthfully." The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor's voice was filled with imposingness. Although her cultivation base was inferior to Xia Hou, she had stayed in the Lifire Palace for a long time and was by the Lifire Empyrean's side. Her aura was naturally extraordinary.
She wasn't a fool and wouldn't believe everything just because of a few sentences Di Tian said. Hence, she came to ask Xia Hou. No matter what Xia Hou said to Di Tian, as long as she understood the crux of it, she would be able to determine the root of the problem. And Xia Hou's promise was the crux of the matter.
"Or could it be that you only want Di Tian to be your subordinate?" The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor continued asking when she saw Xia Hou not replying. Xia Hou's expression changed. At this instant, the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor finally understood what was going on. Seems like this Xia Hou was used to being lofty and lofty. As expected, he dared to feign obedience in public but oppose in private.
"Palace Lord, please forgive me. Xia Hou only wholeheartedly works for the Lifire Empyrean. I wanted to recruit him to be my subordinate first and nurture him well, allowing him to do his best to forge weapons for the Lifire Palace." Xia Hou bowed, feeling some trepidation in his heart.
"What a good governor Xia Hou." The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor coldly spoke. "You can handle this matter yourself. The Lifire Empyrean doesn't want to hear any gossip."
After speaking, the Purple Moon Immortal Emperor flicked her sleeves and left. Governor Xia Hou's expression was extremely ugly to behold as cold sweat appeared on his back!
