After completing the transaction with the Xun King's heir, Duan Xiaolou, the three of them chatted for a while. The content of their conversation was nothing more than some trivial topics.
Duan Xiaolou mentioned that the middle martial demon causing trouble at the auction was an Asura cultivator from Di Luo City. He was also at the late Spirit Severing stage. Three hundred years ago, he had gone to the imperial city to challenge the Heavenspan Path, but he was unable to pass through the eighth trial.
It was said that he had been searching for defensive spirit treasures for the past hundred years. He reckoned that he wanted to take advantage of the Heavenspan Path to reach the ninth floor. Perhaps he would also be able to find an opportunity to enter Body Integration Stage. That was why he had made a move at the auction.
As for Di Luo City's city lord and the imperial guard, even if they could find the Buddhist Sect's Vajra Talisman, it would be impossible for them to return it to Yu Hongyan.
However, Yi Tian understood that for Wei Qinya and Ke Zhennan to chase after it, the talisman treasure would be of great use on the Heavenspan Path. At the very least, they were insiders and understood the circumstances of the talisman treasure.
Shaoqing waited until the three of them finished chatting, and Yi Tian brought the topic to the imperial censor, Mi Baiji. However, the reason was somewhat forced. He only said that he was interested in the history of the Asura Dynasty as a foreign cultivator.
Since Mi Baiji was an imperial censor, he naturally had some unique insights. As such, he wanted to have a private chat with him. If Duan Xiaolou didn't mind, they could find a secluded guest room in his residence.
Although Duan Xiaolou was a little confused by these words, as the host, he had Mei Baiji come forward and lead him to a side room.
Yi Tian inwardly applauded. Even if the imperial censor didn't want to, he still had to consider Duan Xiaolou's face and couldn't refuse.
However, Mi Baiji was unexpectedly calm. He turned to Duan Xiaolou and left some instructions before leading the way.
When the two arrived at a side room, Yi Tian waved his hand and released a soundproof restriction. Then, he slowly walked into the room and sat down in the main seat. Turning around, he sized up Mi Baiji, only to see that the latter didn't show the slightest bit of fear. He walked up and sat down in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
After a while, Mei Baiji actually spoke first, "Senior Yi is too courteous. May I know what advice you have for me?"
Yi Tian smiled faintly and said, "Life is unpredictable. Last time, you wanted to talk to me about something in the Hall of Historical Records, but I rejected you. This time, it's my turn to invite you. With this song, we're even."
"That may be the case, but last time, we were on the same level, so there's nothing we can't talk about," Mi Baiji calmly replied.
However, Yi Tian could tell from her tone that she was reprimanding him. With a thought, he sighed and said, "This time, I have a favor to ask of Fellow Daoist Mei. Naturally, I treat you as an equal. I hope you don't take offense."
With that said, Mei Baiji's expression turned slightly better. He turned around and looked at Yi Tianyun before asking, "Does Senior Yi have anything to say?"
Although they were on the same level, Mei Baiji still knew when to advance and when to retreat. With his experience as an official, he naturally knew the severity of his words.
Yi Tian's mouth twitched as he smiled and said, "Since we are on the same level, then it's better for us to address each other as Brother Yi. In terms of age, I might not even be older than you."
Surprise flashed through Mei Baiji's eyes, but he soon nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's do as Brother Yi says."
"Every time I get close to Fellow Daoist Mei, I will more or less sense something. I wonder if you have the same feeling?" Yi Tian changed the topic and got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Mi Baiji nodded and stretched out his finger, drawing in the air with golden spirit energy. Ten breaths later, his fingertips drew two imprints in the air. Yi Tian was no stranger to this. One of the imprints was the pattern on his forehead.
A moment later, Mei Baiji smiled and said, "As an imperial censor, I naturally have some knowledge of the imperial clan's history. However, there is something I don't understand."
"Please speak," Yi Tian replied with a serious expression.
He slowly took out an ancient jade book and flipped it open. After reading it, he said, "Fellow Daoist Yi should be a member of the royal family. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sense your hidden information in this Asura Chronicle."
It turned out that the Asura Yearbook had sensed the difference in his body. It seemed like this item was a secret treasure of the Asura Clan. However, how could such a secret treasure be in the hands of a mere Deity Transformation Stage imperial censor? Yi Tian was confused and asked, "Is there any information recorded in this Asura Chronicle?"
Mei Baiji faintly smiled and said, "This one is an imperial censor passed down in my family. My ancestor was entrusted by the previous Asura Emperor to protect this item ten thousand years ago. In the entire dynasty, only the two empresses know of the existence of this Asura Chronicle. "
Yi Tian teased, "As the saying goes, one shouldn't reveal one's wealth. Fellow Daoist Mei, are you not afraid that I will suddenly explode?"
"Brother Yi, there is no need for that. If you want it, I will definitely offer it to you without any complaints, "Mi Baiji said with a serious expression," Because this Asura's Yearbook will only react to the person with the imprint, and the one with the imprint is naturally this Mi's Master. "
"Does Luo Ziyan know of this?" Yi Tian asked in a low voice.
"The current Empress is young and impetuous. I have yet to inform her of this, so only the previous Empress, Brother Yi, and I know of this," Mei Baiji respectfully replied.
"Is that so? Don't you think I've committed a grave offense by directly calling Luo Ziyan by her name?" Yi Tian asked.
"If it was someone else who offended the Empress, this one would naturally have to reason with them. As for Brother Yi, there is no need for that," replied Mei Baiji.
"Oh? Are you that accurate? I was just wondering if I should be on guard against you as the study companion of Prince Xun," Yi Tian curled his lips and voiced his misgivings.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although I am the study companion of King Xun's heir, I am still an important official of the imperial court. My loyalty to the imperial family is of utmost importance," said Mi Baiji. He then stood up and knelt down not far away.
Yi Tian sighed. When he heard that Mei Baiji had even changed the way he addressed him, he knew that there was no way he could continue hiding it. He gently took off the ornament on his head, revealing a golden mark that was exactly the same as the one Mei Baiji had drawn.
He then tied the ribbon on his head and indifferently said, "I hope you won't spread this matter. Also, give me that Asura Chronicle for me to check. "
Mei Baiji's face lit up and he hurriedly respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, please take your time. If there is anything you don't understand, this humble subject will explain it in detail."
