"From Elder's words, you seem to have predicted this tribulation for Li Jingxun?" Ji Feichen's brain spun rapidly, wondering if Elder Li had seen the scene of him switching identities.
He probably hadn't. If he had seen that he was involved with the Demon Sect, he definitely wouldn't have had this attitude. However, he still had to be careful. He hadn't expected that a Ground Fairies would dare to sneak in. But how did he get in?
Ji Feichen stared at Elder Li. She was rather at ease, as though she wasn't restrained by the Dragon Qi at all.
"Not restrained by the Dragon Qi means that he has the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty's permission? Could it be that he has a cover in the government office? "
"Does it matter whether he knows or not? She is currently walking on her own path. It is not convenient for Pavilion Master and I to interfere. "
"Can you bear to destroy a seed of the Immortal Dao just like that?"
"It's nothing more than returning to the mountain to cultivate after a period of love. Why not? As cultivators, why should we be afraid of such a small matter? "
"Small matter?" From Elder Li's words, Ji Feichen understood a little. He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Junior Sister is really in love trouble. Has she been sent to the capital for a marriage alliance by the Li family? Then, as long as I find her partner, everything will be easy. "
"Elder, if I refuse to retreat, what will you do?"
"What can I do? I only came to remind you out of goodwill. What can I do? If you continue to stay in the capital and die here, don't blame me for disregarding our relationship as fellow Grand Supreme Elders and watching from the sidelines. "
"You don't have to worry about that, Elder. I will be responsible for all the consequences. "
Elder Li nodded slightly, turned, and disappeared.
"It's not a martial technique, so it seems to be a Dharmic power divine art? Using a Dharmic power divine art to avoid the Dragon Qi, I'm afraid it's not that simple. "Ji Feichen got down to the ground and retrieved the Biechao pearl that Elder had dropped. He secretly speculated.
…
Li Jingxun was watching the water at the side of the pond, calming her mind. Suddenly, she exclaimed, startling the koi fish in the water and causing them to flee under the fake mountain.
"I'm afraid my master's intentions are behind this?"
Her lineage cultivated the path of forgetting emotions and severing one's thoughts. Her master had deliberately done this to sever ties with the mortal world and truly break ties with the Li family. At the same time, he was forcing her to comprehend the tribulation of emotions and cultivate the Supreme Emotion Forgetting True Technique.
"However, this Master of mine has never done anything without benefits. He must have his own benefits for doing this." Li Jingxun knew her Master too well. Based on his master's personality, he was never one who was willing to take in disciples. For him to take him in as a disciple for no reason, he probably had some ulterior motives from the start.
"Cultivators usually don't live in the capital. But the first time I met him, it just so happened to be in the capital of the metropolis. Li's, be be, "be," Li "
"Li" be "be, Li," Master "be" said, "to be," ".
"I" Li "was," Li "," "was," I "" said, "I" was "". "" was "" by "". " "". "he" "Li" Introduced "". "" t "said" ". "" Thinking about it, could it be because of the Fourth Prince that he thought highly of me? ""
When she was young, she had helped the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince had found her pearl pendant. "" Maybe my master saw all of this? "
"" Therefore, he had taken her in as a disciple, waiting for the Relationship Tribulation to come true.
That's right, Li Jingxun's Relationship Tribulation was a marriage that had been decided in the Deity Mother Temple many years ago. As a Ground Fairies, Elder Li was naturally aware of the heavenly secrets.
"" According to the fixed number of days. Either Li Jingxun's mortal heart would be moved and he would enter the mortal world to enjoy glory and wealth. Or he would sever his emotions and become an immortal.
But now, with Ji Feichen's interference and Li Jingxun's own thoughts, the future became blurry again.
"Then … what benefits can he gain from my Relationship Tribulation?" If it was just to help her, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
After thinking for a while, Li Jingxun looked enlightened. "Celestial Immortal? He's preparing to seize the providence of the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty to ascend? "
This way, it would be very easy for his disciple to marry into the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty and extract the providence of the Great Hong Imperial Dynasty.
"But if I don't cooperate, or if I hold a grudge because he plotted against me and ruined my path, it will be easy for his plan to fail. From this aspect, will he leave me a way out if he forces me to enter the tribulation? On the other hand, the Li family sent me to the Fourth Prince so quickly. I'm afraid it's not as simple as marrying me off. "
They were actively ruining the Fourth Prince's providence? Also, the Li family and Elder Li were secretly colluding?
At this moment, Li Jingxun finally understood the implications. "I was wondering why the Li family dared to take the risk of offending Daode Buddhism. So it turns out that Master is secretly pulling strings behind the scenes to force me into the tribulation? "
Of course, Elder Li and the Li family weren't on the same side. At least, their core goals were different.
The Li family did not care about Li Jingxun's safety. In fact, they hoped that she would die in this battle for the throne, so that the Li family would not have another enemy. However, Elder Li was different. He did not have much feelings for Li Jingxun. To him, anything other than the Dao was external. However, Li Jingxun was his disciple. He would still make plans for Li Jingxun and prepare a path for Li Jingxun to attain the Dao and inherit the Mount of Forgetfulness.
According to Elder Li's plan, after Li Jingxun entered the tribulation, he would spend several decades to overcome the Love Tribulation and return to the immortal mountain to cultivate.
However, Li Jingxun was not willing to enter the tribulation, nor was she willing to get married.
"Li family? Master? You have your own plans. Do you think I have to follow the path that you have set for me? "
According to Elder Li's plan, she might be able to cultivate the Art of Forgetfulness in the future and become a Ground Fairies. However, she was cultivating the path of becoming an immortal. How could she care about a mere Art of Forgetfulness?
Li Jingxun was a smart person.
It was true that her transcendence energy could not be used in the capital city. However, in this world, not everything required transcendence energy to show off.
"If it was a few years ago and I was kidnapped to the capital city when I first came down from the mountain, I might have been terrified and driven by their path. However, after traveling with Senior Brother for so long, I have already understood how to guide things to develop in the direction I want them to while sealing my transcendence energy. My path can only be chosen by myself. "
The longevity of immortals was not an increase in power, but the accumulation of wisdom.
If an immortal who had lived for a thousand years could only rely on power to suppress mortals, it would be too shameful.
Looking at the pond under the dusk, Li Jingxun finally revealed a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. "Since that's the case, let's see what I can do!" She grasped the Biechao pearl in her sleeve, and a vague plan gradually formed in her mind.
The next day, the Fourth Prince came again after the court session.
This time, Li Jingxun's attitude was a little softer, and she accepted the snacks from the Fourth Prince. "Your Highness comes here every day. Aren't you worried that the princess will be jealous? Why don't you bring the princess along next time? I happen to be lonely, and it's good to have a female companion to talk to. "
That's right, the Fourth Prince had a family long ago. Even if he could not forget Li Jingxun, he could only let her be a concubine.
The Fourth Prince coughed softly. "It's not convenient for her these days. Let's forget about it." This time, he had taken a concubine completely out of the spur of the moment, and he had not discussed it with the princess at all. How could he dare to tell the truth?
"Speaking of which, I'm the one who let you down. If I had found you earlier, there wouldn't be such a storm today, and our children might be running all over the place. "
Faced with such a blatant hint from the Fourth Prince, Li Jingxun suddenly laughed.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was covering her mouth and laughing, the Fourth Prince asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Your Highness, how long do you think the Li family has existed?"
Hmm? What did she mean? The Fourth Prince was at a loss. However, he still said, "Are you worried that my betrothal gifts are not enough? I know that the Li family has a high status, but I'm still a prince, after all. This marriage will definitely be done properly. I'll let you enter the Prince's Residence rightfully. "
It was not just because of friendship. In terms of benefits, a great aristocratic family like the Li family had deep roots and great influence. Roping them in to his side would be of great help in the fight for the throne.
Li Jingxun shook his head. "How can there be a thousand-year dynasty in this world, but there are thousand-year aristocratic families. The Li family has existed for too long, so long that it is even older than the history of many Immortal Dao Grotto-Heaven. Directly offering your daughter to preserve your family's prosperity? The Li family's methods are not that despicable. " Li Jingxun shook his head and sighed. "It's just using me as a sacrificial pawn to appease Your Highness, to stabilize Your Highness's mind, and to make outsiders think that the Li Residence has a marriage alliance with Your Highness. Then, they will think of a way to ally with their true backer, and at the end, they will just turn around and strike back. "
Hearing this, the Fourth Prince hesitated. "You mean that the Li family's true supporter is not me?"
"I don't have a good relationship with the Li family. So what if I join the harem? Will they consider the Li family in the future? Although in the eyes of outsiders, I am one with the Li family. However, the Li family does not expect me to bring them any riches and honor. After all, I am just a chess piece that was abandoned long ago. What is there to care about? "After a pause, Li Jingxun pointed out something." Your Highness met me in the wilderness that day. Because I don't have a good relationship with the Li family, I am often not at home, so I travel outside to relax. How can the Li family entrust the fate of the family to me, a girl who is always not at home? "
Hearing this, the Fourth Prince ordered people to investigate.
Li Jingxun shook his head again. "According to the Li family's style of doing things, not even a drop of water is leaked. How could they leave behind such a flaw? If Your Highness went to investigate, you would probably only know that I was raised by the Li family, and that I was a young lady who never left home. Oh … according to my understanding of the Li family, they would probably say that because I am weak and sickly, I would sometimes cultivate in the mountains. Because of this, I was able to save Your Highness.
"Whether it is to the outside world or to the inside world, I will be treated as a part of the Fourth Prince's power. Waiting for the last step to rely on a wise master, I will be treated as an abandoned child by the Li family. At most, I will be accompanied by a lamp and cultivate hard. And Your Highness's Prince's Mansion will be destroyed, right? "
Immediately, the Fourth Prince's face darkened. He pondered over what Li Jingxun had said.
Although it sounded like she was trying to deceive him, and it was possible that she was deliberately slandering the Li family, but if it was true … then his current position would be in danger.
"Speaking of which …" Li Jingxun saw that the Fourth Prince was shocked and doubtful, and said casually, "That day, Your Highness was left in the wilderness, and I happened to save you. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Not many people know about my whereabouts. "
Did the Li family arrange it on purpose?
Li Jingxun deliberately made the Fourth Prince think in this direction. In the end, the Fourth Prince left with a heavy heart.
After he left, Li Jingxun was in a good mood. I have finally found a way to solve this problem. How do you want me to do it? I will do it the opposite way.
She picked up a piece of pineapple cake produced by the Imperial Palace and tasted it. She said with slight disdain, "It is far worse than Senior's cooking." Looking at the sunlight outside, Li Jingxun muttered, "I wonder how Senior's situation is now? I'm afraid he has already received the news of my disappearance. "
