When Yi Tian came down from the second floor of Gathering World, he suddenly sensed a familiar figure appearing at the main entrance with his Divine Telekinesis. After that, he turned around and walked away in the lobby of the ground floor.
Fortunately, he had used the Thousand Faces Technique, so no one could recognize his face. However, for some reason, he could faintly feel that there were people in the crowd looking at him.
Among the people in the crowd, there was a scholarly cultivator walking in the third position. His footsteps didn't stop as he followed these people up to the second floor. His gaze swept through the crowd, and finally locked onto Yi Tian's back.
After three breaths, Yi Tian's lips moved and he continued to stroll around as usual. However, his attention was still focused on the people behind him. Suddenly, a voice transmission sounded in his ear, "Two hours later, Mi Baiji will be waiting at the top floor of the Floating Immortal Restaurant."
Helplessly nodding his head, Yi Tian revealed a bitter smile on his face. He didn't expect that even though he had been so careful to hide it from everyone, only this imperial censor could sense it. It seemed like these Asura clans still had some foundation.
The meeting at the Floating Immortal Restaurant was a must. However, he had said that he would use this opportunity to find Mi Baiji and inquire about the situation in the imperial court before making a decision.
After thinking about it, he sped up and left through the side door of the Floating Immortal Restaurant. He walked to the main street and took out a jade slip to check. The Floating Immortal Restaurant was located in the eastern district of the city. It was located at the intersection of two main streets. However, the map indicated that this was where the nobles of the imperial palace gathered. He was surprised that Mi Baiji chose this place to meet him.
It seemed that Mi Baiji wasn't an idiot. There must be a reason for him to choose this place. After thinking about it, Yi Tian found the right direction and hurried toward the Floating Immortal Restaurant.
Half an hour later, Yi Tian rushed to the boundary of the East City District and quickly found the agreed restaurant. However, as soon as he walked through the door of the hall, two bartenders came forward to block his way. They looked at him and asked respectfully, "I wonder if senior has an invitation? Please show us your invitation card before you can enter."
Yi Tian frowned. Just as he was about to flare up, he glanced around and saw the words' Only Asura Cultivators Are Not Allowed to Enter 'written clearly on the screen in front of the door. It turned out that this place was a gathering place for Asura nobles.
It would be unwise for him to barge in like this. After thinking about it, he indifferently said, "I am here to meet with imperial censor Mi Baiji."
When the two bartenders heard this, they hurriedly replied after sizing him up, "Sir, please wait for a moment. I will inform the shopkeeper of this place."
"Go and come back quickly. Don't delay," Yi Tian replied expressionlessly.
Not long after the bartenders left, he saw an early Deity Transformation cultivator in luxurious robes hastily walk down from the second floor. Upon seeing him, he hurriedly cupped his hands in apology and said, "I do not know if it is Lord Censor's esteemed guest that has been neglected. Please follow me to the rear court. Lord Mi has already sent me a message to entertain our esteemed guest. He will rush over once he is done with his matters."
"Lead the way." Yi Tian's face finally relaxed a little. He then followed the other party to the corridor in the backyard.
After passing through a long corridor, Yi Tian was led to a secluded room in an elegant garden. After settling down inside, he waited for a moment before his Divine Sense detected that someone was rushing over. When the door was pushed open, Mi Baiji walked in with a flushed face. He closed the door and activated the restriction barrier.
After doing this, he walked up to Tang Wulin and knelt down to pay his respects. He said, "I didn't know that His Majesty had arrived in the Holy City. This subject, Mi Baiji, is here to welcome His Majesty. Please atone for my sins."
Yi Tian waved his hand and said, "You may rise. Do you remember that I didn't like such formalities? In the future, you will only need to greet me as a cultivator."
Only then did Mi Baiji slowly stand up and stand to the side. Yi Tian found it troublesome to have him sit directly across from him. The main reason was that sitting like this made his neck sore.
After Mi Baiji sat down, Yi Tian said, "On the surface, I have already moved into Yun Lin's residence. I normally cultivate there and try to avoid contact with others."
"Then if this subject has something to report, how can I inform His Majesty?" Mi Baiji asked.
Yi Tian didn't directly answer. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Whose property is this?"
"This place is where the nobles of Asura gather, and the owner behind it is the heir of the Xun King. This humble subject is able to rent this place for a long period of time," Mi Baiji replied. "Does Your Majesty wish to use this place as a private meeting point?"
"That's a good idea. I was thinking the same thing. Compared to the power of King Xun, the others in the court will be more cautious, "Yi Tian said.
"This place is the best place to meet. If His Majesty needs this subject's assistance, he only needs to leave a communication jade token here." After saying this, Mi Baiji respectfully took out a token and handed it over. "This is the identity token of the Floating Immortal Restaurant. As long as you show it to the bartender or shopkeeper, you will be able to pass through here."
"That's good." Tang Wulin took the token and looked at it. Only then did he realize that there was the seal of King Xun on it. A moment later, he asked, "Do you know that I recently escorted Asura Sect disciples to the capital to participate in the selection?"
"This subject only knows that a large group of Asura Sect disciples have arrived. They have already moved into the selection area. Prince Wei was originally in charge of this matter, but this matter is of great importance. Her Majesty and Sovereign Yun have secretly joined forces with a group of old imperial officials to obstruct them, "Mi Baiji replied.
"Then what about the various factions in the court? The selection of the imperial guards this time should have something to do with their interests, right?" Yi Tian asked.
"Prince Wei's faction naturally wishes to consolidate their strength while continuously nibbling away at others," Mi Baiji analyzed.
"I believe that Luo Ziyan wouldn't just watch as he messes around. She might have already found someone to mess things up," Yi Tian said with a faint smile.
"As expected, His Majesty's foresight is divine. However, this subject didn't expect that the ones to take the lead this time would be Princess Fenglin and her group of imperial relatives." Mi Baiji revealed a deep sense of fear when he said this.
"Is it her?" Yi Tian raised an eyebrow. He felt a headache coming on when he thought about how Princess Fenglin had tried to trip him up. This group of imperial relatives relied on Luo Ziyan's nepotism and was bound to become an influential faction in the court.
Now that Luo Ziyan wanted to take back her imperial authority, she naturally had them test the reactions of Prince Wei and the others before making a decision. Although it wasn't a good thing for relatives of the emperor to interfere in politics, it was an excellent move to use here.
