After receiving an affirmative answer, Yi Tian's expression relaxed as if the burden in his heart had been lifted. Luo Ziyan also let out a sigh of relief. However, her eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something.
The two of them fell into silence. After a while, Luo Ziyan spoke first. "I heard that my cousin mentioned that the Asura Sect's warship barged through the territory under her jurisdiction without any prior warning. In the end, her guards even fought with you, right?"
"You mean Princess Fenglin?" Yi Tian returned to his senses and said, "At that time, she intercepted me, so I had to forge a jade slip and engrave your seal on it. In the end, I was lucky enough to get away with it."
Luo Ziyan didn't seem to blame him. Instead, she revealed an excited expression. "Tell me how you did it and how you won against Shui Cangyue. I don't believe that girl Qingcheng's words. It's more convincing to hear it from you."
Yi Tian probably due to her curiosity. He took out a blank jade slip and extended his right hand to summon a strand of spirit flame to quickly engrave a seal on the jade slip. Then, he formed a seal with both hands and activated it using the standard Asura Sect seal.
After ten breaths of time, a newly forged jade slip imperial edict was hastily completed. Although it was made at zero time, the spirit force emitted from the seal made Luo Ziyan sigh in admiration.
After receiving the jade slip, Luo Ziyan looked at it again and again. After a while, she said, "It is indeed powerful. If it wasn't for the fact that the people in the inner court were familiar with my edict, it would have been difficult to distinguish it."
"I still have to thank you for helping me cover up my lie about Princess Fenglin. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome if she had pursued the matter." Yi Tian didn't have any joy on his face.
"It's fine, it's fine. Princess Fenglin has always been a thorn in the imperial family. Even Prince Wei's people have fallen for her tricks several times. It's really out of my expectations that you were able to make her suffer. In the future, I'll need you to deal with her more, "Luo Ziyan said with schadenfreude.
Yi Tian was stunned as he thought to himself, 'Are they still cousins? Luo Ziyan is probably a mischievous person who used me to teach her cousin a lesson. In the end, she got the identity of being a good person.'
She then continued, "But this time, your fight with Shui Cangyue also indirectly provoked him."
"What do you mean?" Yi Tian asked hurriedly.
"Originally, Duan Xiaolou had been trying to get him to help, but Shui Cangyue had politely refused. But this time, it was actually Princess Fenglin who acted as the matchmaker. I heard it was Shui Cangyue's idea. She must have been influenced by you, "said Luo Ziyan solemnly.
"Could it be that you're still concerned about Prince Xun's influence?" Yi Tian asked.
"It's naturally better to have one more friend than one more enemy," Luo Ziyan explained. "It's a pity that Prince Xun always has an unbiased attitude. Moreover, his influence is the strongest in the entire mystic realm's trial. Logically speaking, the possibility of him winning is naturally the highest."
"So you're worried about this," Yi Tian said with a faint smile. "In that case, it'll be a good cover for us. You must know that those who enter have ulterior motives. However, I've interacted with Duan Xiaolou before and know what he's thinking."
"Why? Is he willing to attach himself to Aunt Yun's side?" Hearing that, Luo Ziyan became excited and asked hurriedly.
"It's impossible for him to attach himself to her." Yi Tian shook his head and denied it. "However, Duan Xiaolou knows his own limits. Besides, his ambition isn't here, so the trial is just a formality. However, if we can show enough strength, it's not impossible for him to come over."
"If that's the case, then it's all up to you. The three Venerables have placed their bets on their respective candidates, but they don't know that I've placed all my hopes on you. I hope you can occasionally live up to my expectations." Then, Luo Ziyan took out half of a jade pendant and handed it over. "This was given to me by my mother when she passed away. It was originally a congratulatory gift for my wedding. Now, I'll give you half of it to confirm our status."
Yi Tian's Divine Sense scanned the half of the jade pendant she handed over. There was no trace of spiritual power left on it. It was completely a piece of jade from the mortal world. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and gently took the half of the jade pendant and put it away.
Then, tears suddenly flashed in Luo Ziyan's eyes. She took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped it away. "Young Yi, don't let me down."
After sighing, Yi Tian nodded. "Don't worry, your matter is my matter. Besides, our marks are connected, and our fates have long been entangled."
Luo Ziyan's face turned slightly red after hearing this. Then, she reminded, "Young Yi, remember not to reveal any flaws when you go through the Heavenly Path. With your current status, you can at most go up to the fifth floor. The cultivators of our race who succeed will automatically leave their names on the stone tablet outside the tower."
"Don't worry, I'll think about it. However, is it really so difficult to pass the ninth floor?" Yi Tian asked.
"I don't know. It's just that the ninth floor is different from before. I've thought about it. Even if I cultivate to the peak of the Soul Severing Stage, I might not be able to pass it, so I've placed all my hopes on you," Luo Ziyan replied.
"Is that so? You have so much confidence in me?" Yi Tian teased.
"It's not that I'm confident, but that I realized that the cultivation techniques we cultivated before were a bit off track. Only after seeing your Dharma Body did I realize it. Perhaps the only way to solve the secret of the tenth level of the 'Heavenly Path' is up to you, because only your Dharma Body is the same as my ancestor, the Sacred Emperor," Luo Ziyan replied with a serious expression.
This coincided with Yi Tian's conjecture. The Heavenly Path was probably built by Luo Qin's camp. Therefore, only Yi Tian, who had cultivated the same Dharmakaya as Luo Qin, could break through to the tenth level.
Luo Ziyan gave a brief introduction of the various powers in the imperial capital. She even used this place as a secret meeting place for the two of them. Normally, Mei Baiji would be in charge of contacting him. If he encountered any trouble in the imperial capital, he could find him to mediate.
However, Luo Ziyan also pointed out that it was best not to cause too much trouble with the group of imperial descendants led by Princess Fenglin. She also didn't want to get involved too much in order to avoid wasting her energy.
The two of them conversed for less than two hours before Luo Ziyan put on her disguise and left through the back door of the Floating Immortal Restaurant under Mei Baiji's escort.
As for Yi Tian, he waited for an hour in the Elegant Court. When Mei Baiji returned, they left through the front door together.
After returning to the imperial censor's carriage, Mi Baiji transmitted a message to the imperial censor, "Is His Majesty returning home?"
"Let's go to the 'Heavenly Path' to take a look first," Yi Tian suggested.
