What Deeper Meaning?
Xuan Ji's tone was solemn, and she didn't seem to be lying.
It didn't matter if the God Emperor trusted her or not. So long as Heavenly God City was under her control, she absolutely couldn't allow anything to happen to it.
She truly felt that the guards hadn't performed well!
If they let the important figures of the God Race pass unconditionally when they saw them, what would happen if one day, a demon or a monster disguised as a high-ranking member of the God Race entered Heavenly God City and swaggered on the streets without being suspected?
"This investigation is to find out who they are, isn't it?" asked Pu Jingwan suddenly.
"That's right," said Xuan Ji.
"But I can still sense a lot of demons and demons in this city. If you were worried about demons and demons entering the city, why would you let so many demons and demons in? If you weren't worried about them entering, then what's the point of your investigation? "asked Pu Jingwan.
This was a contradiction!
Anyone who entered the city or used a transportation formation to enter had to undergo an identity check. The purpose of the check was to find out if they were yao or demons.
But even if they were found out, the Demon Race and Yao Race could still walk around the city as they pleased.
If yao and demons disguised themselves as gods, they wouldn't be found. In the end, they'd enter the city. If they were found, they'd still enter the city. Without disguises, they'd still enter the city.
In any case, they'd still enter the city. What was the point of this investigation?
It was pointless!
In response to Pu Jingwan's doubts, Xuan Ji smiled and explained.
"The city is naturally for yao and demons to enter. We're currently in the middle of the Battle of Geniuses, so they can use the excuse of spectating to enter the city. We gods can't refuse."
"But there's still a huge difference between finding them and not finding them."
"If we find them, we'll have them gather in the southern part of the city and send people to monitor them day and night. When they go out, we'll also have god race experts monitor them one-on-one."
"That way, everything about them will be exposed to us."
"But if they disguise themselves as gods and enter the city, we'll treat them as if they're gods and won't imprison them. If they suddenly attack, we won't be able to react in time."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but nod.
Don't be fooled by what Xuan Ji had just said. It sounded like a waste of manpower.
The investigation procedures were complicated and required vast amounts of manpower and resources. That was especially true for one-on-one investigations.
However, doing so would ensure that nothing would go wrong.
At this time, the gates of the Divine Race were wide open. What they needed to do at this time was to ensure absolute safety. They could not afford any accidents. As for the manpower and resources consumed, it was all worth it as long as they could get through the Battle of Geniuses.
In truth, Xuan Ji hadn't completely revealed everything yet. Her strategy just now was only for sky supremes and earth supremes.
As long as they reached the Celestial Being level, they would have other ways to manage them.
However, this was a matter of city defense, so there was no need for her to explain things so clearly to Ye Zichen.
She smiled at Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan, then pursed her lips and arched her brows.
"What do you two want? Do you want to go back with me and rest, or do you want to go to the Divine Martial School?"
With that, she turned to Ye Zichen, "I feel like it's better for you to go to my place. It doesn't really matter whether you go to Shenwu or not."
"Why do you say that?" asked Ye Zichen.
"Do I still need to explain? The reason for the Battle of Geniuses was just an excuse for the Demon Race and the Monster Race to enter and leave the God Race's territory at will. They've already achieved their goal. Now, all they have to do is plant the seeds of war within the God Race. You can't really be so stupid as to think this is a competition to rank the geniuses of the Three Realms, right? I don't think you're that brainless. "
Xuan Ji pursed her lips and shrugged. This was something the upper echelons of the God, Yao, and Demon Realms, as well as the participants of the Battle of Geniuses, all knew.
The Battle of Geniuses was nothing more than a show. Everyone had a tacit understanding of its true purpose.
Pu Jingwan was from the Outside, so she didn't understand any of this. All she knew was that she was here on a protection mission, and that her employer, Han Nan, had asked her to protect Ye Zichen.
It didn't matter where she lived; Ye Zichen was the one who made the decision.
She tilted her head and saw Ye Zichen pursing his lips in thought.
"I'd better go straight to Shenwu."
Even though Xuan Ji had been so blunt, Ye Zichen still made up his mind.
He naturally knew the purpose of the Battle of Geniuses, but that was precisely why he had to go.
There was no way the demons and yao hadn't anticipated that the God Race would keep an eye on them during the Battle of Geniuses. Most of the people who came later wouldn't be able to pull any tricks.
In that case, who would be the easiest target?
The participants of the Battle of Geniuses, of course.
"Up to you." In the face of Ye Zichen's refusal, Xuan Ji didn't insist. She let him make his choice.
"Auntie."
At that moment, Ye Zichen suddenly spoke up.
Xuan Ji looked in his direction and saw that his brows were furrowed deeply as he spoke.
"Why did Zhou Wu want to become sworn brothers with me? Is there some deeper meaning to this? "
Well ….
On the way back, Xuan Ji had thought about it. God Emperor Zhou Wu's declaration of brotherhood was too sudden, but before long, he said it was just a joke.
Even with Xuan Ji's exquisite heart, she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
In the end, she simply said, "How should I know? You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?"
"Aren't you good at divination?"
"Do you think I don't need money?"
Xuan Ji rolled her eyes at Ye Zichen. She didn't quite know what to say.
"Zhou Wu is the God Emperor, after all. Do you think he's an ordinary commoner? Right, your forging of Soul Pearl Yiyuan is almost complete. Once it's done, I'll send you a message. Bye …. "
With that, Xuan Ji, who had been standing on the street, disappeared.
"Your auntie left," said Pu Jingwan when she saw that Ye Zichen still hadn't moved.
"I know," said Ye Zichen without even looking up.
He was still thinking about the God Emperor's offer to become sworn brothers with him.
Why, exactly?
Why would the God Emperor say something like that for no apparent reason, then say it was just a joke? Ye Zichen couldn't figure out why the God Emperor would say something like that, or what his intentions were.
This made him feel terrible!
Ye Zichen wasn't the type of person who liked too many unknowns, especially when it came to becoming sworn brothers with the God Emperor. He felt even more uneasy.
At that moment, Pu Jingwan interrupted Ye Zichen's train of thought and blurted out a question.
"Is there going to be a war?"
"Probably."
Ye Zichen was still mulling over the God Emperor's intentions, so he didn't think too much about it.
"That's great!"
To his surprise, Pu Jingwan clapped her hands excitedly. A moment later, Ye Zichen saw a pair of fair hands.
