The God Emperor's Invitation
No matter what Ye Zichen's expression was like, so long as he agreed, Xuan Ji's mood improved tremendously. She'd spent so much money to resolve the matter, but now all her frustrations were swept away.
She giggled, patted Ye Zichen on the shoulder, and nodded solemnly.
"No problem. Leave everything to me. I'll make sure you're satisfied."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but stare at the sharp contrast. Just now, he'd understood his aunt's personality.
She valued money as much as her life!
If you said she was stingy, she'd just generously tossed out a dozen Pills of Fortune. If you said she was generous, she was a senior. How could she haggle over every ounce with a junior? She even demanded double compensation.
Even though Ye Zichen had the Outside backing him, he didn't need to bleed.
Even so, the thought of double compensation still pained him to no end. If he gave Upheaval twice the resources, they might be able to nurture quite a few experts capable of holding their own.
In truth, any faction's leader would be like that. They had to fight for resources for their faction and nurture their subordinates. But the way Ye Zichen saw it, Xuan Ji was just greedy.
What kind of subordinates did she have?
Divine Generals!
Did she need to nurture people of that level? She obviously didn't. And yet, she still couldn't let go of money. Wasn't that just because she valued money as much as her life?
Ye Zichen pursed his lips, then glanced at Xuan Ji, who was still smiling at their victory. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Now you know you're my aunt."
Xuan Ji ignored Ye Zichen's mutterings. She'd taken advantage of him, so she had to restrain herself.
"My dear nephew, I'm off to tend to your affairs. If you want to stay here, then stay. If not, you can go to the Divine Martial Academy. "Xuan Ji smiled.
"Did the Battle of Geniuses take place?"
After that huge commotion, Ye Zichen and Yang Jian had left for the Outside.
He wasn't sure if the Battle of Geniuses had taken place, but judging by the security around Heavenly God City, as well as the occasional yao and demon experts, the Battle of Geniuses was most likely still going on. Otherwise, there was no way those yao and demon experts would be so brazen as to roam Heavenly God City.
"Of course, this is a rare opportunity for the Yao Race and Demon Race to freely enter the Divine Mountain. How could they give it up so easily?" Xuan Ji's smile faded and she snorted. "Those guys have been up to some tricks lately. Haven't you seen it for yourself? Security in Heavenly God City is very tight. They investigate everyone very strictly."
Ye Zichen nodded.
He had experienced this firsthand. If it weren't for the strict investigation, he wouldn't have caused such a commotion.
He arched his brows at Xuan Ji, then pointed at Pu Jingwan.
"Aunt, Jing Wan is from the outer region. She doesn't have our Divine Mountain's crystal card, and it's very inconvenient for her to move around the Divine Mountain. Do you have any way to make her … "
"This is simple."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of white jade branded with the character "Xuan" and placed it in Pu Jingwan's hand.
"In the future, if anyone tries to investigate you, show them this jade token. Once they see this jade token, they won't investigate you anymore. "
The jade token was made of white jade, but it was just an ordinary forging material. There was nothing special about it. At first glance, it was probably just a symbol of status in the Profound Pavillion.
Pu Jingwan nodded in thanks, then put it away. Although her cultivation was high enough that she could do whatever she wanted on the Divine Mountain, she didn't want to resort to violence every time.
Since she had this jade token, she naturally liked it. Pu Jingwan nodded in thanks, then put it away.
She was as gentle as a kitten. She couldn't be so fierce every day.
If Ye Zichen knew what she was thinking, he'd definitely copy the way she'd booed Ye Zichen and pretend to puke.
She was as gentle as a kitten?
Ugh!
Ye Zichen punched the Wang Family ancestor right in the face, embedding him several meters into the ground.
Gentle like that?
By now, Xuan Ji was already preparing to carry out Ye Zichen's request. She knew his plan, and knew that they couldn't afford to delay.
Judging from the flickering jade slip in her hand, she was probably already contacting all the connections she could use.
Ye Zichen prepared to return to the Divine Martial Academy to see his friends at Skyspan Academy. No matter what, he was one of Anti-Upheaval's participants in the Battle of Geniuses. Fortunately, every team could send a substitute. Otherwise, Anti-Upheaval would be done for.
However, Xuan Ji, who was in the middle of sending messages, suddenly furrowed her brows.
"Don't go yet. Someone wants to see you."
Xuan Ji put the jade slip away and walked over. When Ye Zichen heard this, he turned around and saw that her expression wasn't particularly good.
"Zhou Wu?"
"Oh? Little guy, could it be that you're talented in divination as well?" Xuan Ji smiled calmly. This indirectly proved that Zhou Wu really did want to see him.
Ye Zichen chuckled.
All cultivators knew how to perform divination, but it depended on whether they were skilled or not.
Given Ye Zichen's skill in this field, how could he possibly know that Zhou Wu was looking for him? All he'd done was analyze Xuan Ji's expression and the actual situation.
In the entire Divine Mountain, the only person who could make her look so serious was God Emperor Zhou Wu!
"Do you know why he's looking for me?" asked Ye Zichen.
"How could I possibly know? No one can guess what he's thinking. But if you really think about it, there are only a few reasons why he's looking for you, "said Xuan Ji.
"The Yao-Sealing Pagoda? The Five Elements Great Emperor or the Outside? "asked Ye Zichen.
"It seems you're more or less aware of the situation." Xuan Ji smiled noncommittally.
"But no matter which reason he wants to see me, it's not a good thing for me, is it?" said Ye Zichen.
Xuan Ji pursed her lips, but didn't deny it. The relationship between the Five Elements Great Emperor and Zhou Wu was completely unknown to the ordinary people of the God Realm.
How exactly did he obtain the Emperor's celestial fate? How did he ascend to the position of God Emperor?
However, people at Xuan Ji's level were well aware of the situation.
Comparatively speaking, it was better for the Outside to seek Ye Zichen out. Even Zhou Wu had to be wary of the Outside.
But the Yao-Sealing Pagoda had appeared, and it was in Ye Zichen's hands at that. How could he possibly not mention it?
"Do I have to go?" asked Ye Zichen.
"You have to go." Xuan Ji gave an affirmative answer to Ye Zichen's question. "Regardless of why he wants to see you, and regardless of the conflict between you, he's still the God Emperor of the God Realm. If he wants to see a minor cultivator like you, who hasn't even become a diviner, it's like an ancient emperor wanting to see a commoner. What reason do you have to refuse?"
"But you don't need to worry. Let this girl follow you. Add to that your relationship with the First Era, and he won't dare do anything to you. Even if he's the God Emperor, if he wants to deal with someone with connections to the Outside, he'll have to think twice about whether or not it's a good deal. "
As he listened to Xuan Ji's analysis, Ye Zichen sank into deep thought. She was right.
But then he thought about it. The God Emperor was a lofty existence, and he hadn't angered him in the slightest. There was no reason for him to lower himself to deal with a nobody like him. Besides, in the future, he'd steal the God Emperor's celestial fate. They'd run into each other sooner or later. He'd just brought it forward a little.
In that case, what exactly was Zhou Wu planning?
