On the way back from the Earth Core Flame True Dominion, Duan Yi didn't say much, but the way he looked at Yi Tian had changed a little. This made Yi Tian feel a little uncomfortable. The reason was very simple. It was because of Ji Xingzhu's words that he became the target of public criticism.
As such, he couldn't do anything about it. Looking at Duan Yi's naughty smile, he couldn't help but feel angry. While flying in the air, he carefully transmitted his voice and asked, "Senior Apprentice Brother Duan, what do you think Ji Xingzhu's words mean? I feel like I've been targeted by her."
Unexpectedly, Duan Yi laughed and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Yi, it's not easy for you to catch Ji Xingzhu's eyes. You must know that this great aunt has a great background. We don't dare to offend her easily. "
Yi Tian's expression sank. After thinking for a while, he said, "After returning to the city, I ask Senior Apprentice Brother Duan to keep your mouth shut. I don't want to put myself in a disadvantageous position because of this."
"Are you afraid of offending Chi Wuji?" Duan Yi glanced at him and said, "Actually, you don't have to be afraid. Ji Xingzhu is not Chi Wuji's Dao Companion. They are just fellow apprentices. Otherwise, the Lifire Palace wouldn't deliberately hold a concubine selection ceremony to help Chi Wuji choose a wife. "
"Even if they are fellow apprentices, they still have a close relationship." Yi Tian shook his head and said, "But I'm more curious about why the Lifire Palace is holding a concubine selection ceremony. You must know that cultivators like us don't even have enough time to cultivate. Where would we find the time to talk about love?"
Duan Yi slowed down his speed as he slowly explained the details. So it turned out that Chi Wuji had been cultivating in the Lifire Palace ever since he was young. Although his cultivation base improved tremendously, he didn't have much comprehension of the relationships between humans. Since the Lifire Palace was nurturing him as their successor, they would naturally think of ways to make up for these shortcomings.
The concubine selection ceremony was one of the most important events. Helping Chi Wuji find a Dao Companion could accelerate the maturity of his mental state.
Hearing this, Yi Tian finally understood that Chi Wuji was a captive child. In order to nurture him to be the successor of the Lifire Palace, Ji Xuanyuan had put in a lot of effort. But was this really going to work? All sorts of thoughts swirled in his mind, leaving him puzzled.
Logically speaking, with Chi Wuji's current state, even if his cultivation was advancing rapidly, his state of mind couldn't keep up, let alone experience the joys and sorrows of the mortal world. Compared to ordinary cultivators, the bottleneck they would face in the future would be much greater. He really did not know what Ji Xuanyuan was planning to do.
Even if Chi Wuji were to find a dao companion to improve his mental state, it would take two to three hundred years for the results to show. In contrast, if Jian Shaoqing and the others worked in the Department of Internal Affairs or Xi Tianying trained outside, as long as they didn't die in the future, they would enter the FenShen stage faster.
Chi Wuji aside, Ji Xingzhu was the most difficult person to deal with. After two encounters, it was clear that she was already suspicious of him. Perhaps it was due to the resonance of the cultivation technique. Everyone was from the same sect and cultivated the Li Fire Nine Transformations cultivation technique. As such, it was best to meet as little as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Thinking so, he secretly decided that after returning to Fei Yu City, he would bid farewell to the deacon and return to Clear Wind City to avoid trouble. As such, the two of them hurried back to Fei Yu City. After bidding farewell, Yi Tian returned to the sect's encampment. It just so happened that the deacon elder was still in seclusion.
After Yi Tian handed over the task at hand, Qiao Chunlai immediately handed over the reward for this mission. After taking back his identity jade token, Yi Tian slowly bowed and said, "I'm almost done with the trivial matters in Fei Yu City, so I need to hurry back to the sect to deal with the matters of the spirit plant garden. After all, I've been away for so long, I don't know if the people below have neglected their farming."
"Junior Brother Yi's concern for the sect is natural, so I won't keep you." Qiao Chunlai slowly said, "I'm just afraid that Junior Brother Yi won't be able to leave immediately."
Frowning slightly, Yi Tian was startled. Could it be that something happened? He looked at him suspiciously, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qiao Chunlai smiled and waved his hand, "In fact, it's not a troublesome matter. It's just that the ultra-long distance teleportation array here needs to be re-inspected and repaired every hundred years. The ones who do it are all Severed Soul Stage Array Masters of the Feiyu Kenshū Sect. The construction period is one month, so if Junior Brother Yi is in a hurry to go back, you can only choose another way. "
A month's time? He secretly thought to himself that it was not a good idea to stay in Fei Yu City now. Even if he went into seclusion in the sect's encampment, he was afraid that Ji Xingzhu would come looking for him after coming out of the Earth Core Flame True Domain. It was not that he did not want to see him, but it would make it difficult for the deacon elder to explain.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind to leave this place first. Besides, Fei Yu City was not the only place with ultra-long distance teleportation arrays. The nearby Earth Level Cultivation cities must also have the corresponding facilities, so it was better to go back to the sect as soon as possible to be at ease.
He immediately told Qiao Chunlai his plan, and Qiao Chunlai expressed his understanding. It was just that the nearest Earth Level City, Silvermoon Valley, was more than five thousand miles away. The fastest way to get there was naturally to take the Sky Patrolling Warship.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian said goodbye to Qiao Chunlai, then hurriedly left the sect's encampment and walked towards the airport in the west of Fei Yu City. After walking for a while, he arrived at the airport. After paying a large number of spirit stones to buy a first-class ticket, Yi Tian boarded the Sky Patrolling Warship as he wished. Although there were still a few hours before the ship set sail, with the first-class ticket, he could enter the cabin early to rest.
After entering the cabin, Yi Tian opened the cabin's restriction, then sat cross-legged in the cabin and silently ran a small cycle. Since he had nothing to do, he immersed himself in cultivation.
Half a day later, the Sky Patrolling Warship slowly began to move. Yi Tian opened his eyes and looked into the distance. He saw the buildings around the airport slowly moving backward, indicating that the Sky Patrolling Warship was leaving. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. Leaving this place of trouble meant that there was less potential danger for him.
At this moment, in a secret room in the Department of Internal Affairs headquarters, Jian Shaoqing and Duan Yi sat across from each other. On the stone table in front of them were four Blazing Flame Medallions. Jian Shaoqing stroked the medallion, then turned to ask, "You've had close contact with Yi Tian before. Are you sure he's the person by Xi Tianying's side?"
Duan Yi thought for a moment before replying, "His attainments in formations aren't shallow. He's about the same as the formation master who stopped us last time. His cultivation also matches, but I've checked the exit records of the four gates, and there doesn't seem to be any information about him. "
"That's not surprising. Since his cultivation has reached such a level, it's naturally not difficult for him to hide his whereabouts." Jian Shaoqing curled his lips and said disdainfully, "How sure are you that it's him?"
"It's hard to say, at most 60%." Duan Yi shook his head and replied, "I reckon we'll have to think of a way to test him again. However, something unexpected happened this time. "
"What's wrong?"
Duan Yi said seriously, "After Yi Tian and I came out of the Earth Core Flame Real Territory, we met Ji Xingzhu. This girl seems to be very concerned about him and even said that she would remember him."
"Is that true?" Jian Shaoqing's eyes lit up. "It's not easy to catch that girl's eye. I'm 90% sure it's him. Let's wait and see what he's planning to do. "
