Faced with Ren Lan's attempt to use his arms as a chariot for free, Lin Jichen quickly persuaded him to back off.
"Don't come. It's useless for anyone to help me. Just go about your business and I'll be fine."
"Really?" Ren Lan didn't quite believe it.
"Even if it's not true, you can only help me for free, silly woman." Lin Jichen said angrily.
"Well, I hope you can withstand it. I will support you mentally. If there is nothing you can do, just give them the stuff so that you don't lose your experience once you die." Ren Lan advised.
Lin Jichen also had this intention.
If he really couldn't keep this secret skill, he would definitely hand it over as soon as possible.
Compared with Tianpin skills, his life is obviously more important.
If he dies once, it's not as simple as losing some experience.
At this time, Lin Jichen couldn't leave yet.
After getting this heaven-grade jade slip, Ji Hongyue looked at him differently. There was reluctance, annoyance, and even the slightest hint of ill-intention.
When the sect masters and disciples of other sects saw Lin Jichen's good luck, they also had complicated expressions.
However, these big shots have seen the world, and they all come from large sects. How could there be no heavenly treasures in the sect, even higher ones.
What's more, players don't have to worry about Lin Jichen's identity, but NPCs must.
Tianyin Temple has already demonstrated what the consequences will be if you offend the Tianyan Sword Sect, Leng Feiyan's direct disciple, for a Heavenly Grade Secret Technique.
Thinking about Leng Feiyan's terrifying cultivation and strength, as well as his extremely defensive character, everyone gave up those bad thoughts.
I'm just a little jealous of Lin Jichen's luck. He just picked up a copy of a secret book of heavenly quality for free. This guy is really lucky.
Now that the birthday banquet is over, all the secret skills have been received.
Everyone said goodbye to Ji Hongyue and left, each going back to his own clan.
Ji Hongyue said goodbye to everyone with a smile.
Just when Lin Jichen was about to leave, he stopped him.
"Young Master Lin, there's no need to leave in a hurry, I still want to talk to you."
Ji Hongyue ignored Lin Jichen's resistance, grabbed his arm with one hand, and pulled him back with a smile.
Lin Jichen was panicking inside.
Let me tell you, this old guy doesn't want to regret it on the spot, is he going to go back on his word and destroy all traces of his body?
If this is really the case, then even ten lives are not enough for him.
Ji Hongyue is also a powerful person in the Ascension Realm, so what can he do to resist?
Lin Jichen decisively handed over the jade slip and said with a mournful face: "Emperor Ji, give this back to you. I don't want it anymore. Just don't kill me. I won't tell anyone. My greatest advantage is that I keep my mouth shut.
"
Ji Hongyue was a little confused by Lin Jichen's move. When he realized what he was doing, he burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, boy, do you think I, Ji Hongyue, am that kind of despicable person? Since I have given you something, how can I take it back? Don't worry, I'm not that stingy!"
Lin Jichen felt a little relieved after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I misunderstood, I misunderstood."
Ji Tongyin and Ji Linglong, who were following behind, were so happy that they suppressed their laughter and blushed.
The queen beside Ji Hongyue also covered her mouth and chuckled, overjoyed.
Lin Jichen was very embarrassed and asked cautiously: "Then Emperor Ji keeps me here for other reasons?"
If there is nothing to do, he has to run away. He has no time to stay in this palace.
Ji Hongyue stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are two things. First, I invited all the sect leaders and elders to come into the inner hall to discuss, and everyone agreed. The only thing missing is the attitude of your Tianyan Sword Sect, so
Ready to talk to you."
"Emperor Ji, please speak." Lin Jichen felt relieved.
Ji Hongyue preached as he walked: "You know the last time the four states besieged the Demon Sect. I heard that the Demon Sect is brewing a big plan to take revenge on our righteous sect and the imperial court, so I invite all sects
Let’s work together.”
"As soon as you find traces of the Demon Cult, immediately report to each other. There are sects nearby that are attacked by the Demon Cult. The nearby sects or our Qianlong Court must rush to the rescue as soon as possible to prevent the Demon Cult from succeeding. So I need your Master Leng.
Does she agree to the sect master’s opinion?”
Lin Jichen thought what was going on, so he took matters into his own hands and said: "Prince Ji, don't worry, needless to say, all righteous sects will do this kind of thing. Although my master is in retreat, I can guarantee that she will definitely agree.
"
Ji Hongyue nodded: "Then I'm relieved, let's talk about the second thing."
"Excuse me for your instructions."
Ji Hongyue started to play riddles and said with a smile: "Let the Queen tell you."
Lin Jichen was stunned and turned to look at the queen.
The Queen smiled gracefully and said: "Young Master Lin is the direct disciple of Sect Leader Leng, have you ever gotten married?"
"No." Lin Jichen shook his head subconsciously.
The queen's smile became even stronger and she got straight to the point.
"So, what do you think, Young Master Lin, of my daughter Tong Yin? You two also know each other. You have also saved Tong Yin, so you should have an impression, right?"
Lin Jichen: "..."
I go!
What does this mean? Want to recruit yourself as your consort?
Ji Tongyin obviously didn't expect this to be true, and the queen mother had already chosen a good candidate for her.
She blushed with embarrassment and said to the queen: "Mother, how can you make a hasty decision for your daughter like this?"
Linglong next to her wanted to speak for her sister, but the queen glared back with a stern look and she shrank her neck obediently.
The queen smiled apologetically at Lin Jichen and said, "Young Master Lin, please wait a moment. I will have a few words with my daughter."
After finishing speaking, before Lin Jichen could speak, he took Ji Tongyin aside to whisper.
The queen calmly said to Ji Tongyin: "Marriage is the order of parents and the matchmaker. As a princess of the Qianlong royal family, you should understand this truth. You have no choice in this regard."
"But..."
Seeing Ji Tongyin's aggrieved look on the verge of crying, the Queen softened her heart and comforted her softly: "Tongyin, you should understand that ordinary people's daughters still obey their parents when it comes to marriage, let alone that you are a royal princess, and that marriage or even becoming a political
It’s normal for victims to be killed.”
Ji Tongyin lowered her head, obviously she also knew that what her mother said was right, but it was just her first time encountering her, so it was a little hard to accept.
The queen continued to persuade: "Actually, many sect leaders and royal families from other states have approached your father to talk to you as matchmakers, but we have not agreed. What's more, your mother and your father are really serious about selecting outstanding heroes for you.
.”
"Lin Jichen is a direct disciple of Sect Master Leng and has a distinguished status. He is very likely to succeed Sect Master Leng in the future. In terms of future status, you are not as good as others. Furthermore, Lin Jichen's appearance is impeccable."
"In addition, he saved you once before, which proves that there is a fate between you. The queen mother can see that you have a good impression of Lin Jichen, right?"
"I...I...didn't..."
Ji Tongyin stammered in reply, her face already as red as a cherry, and she kept looking at Lin Jichen with a guilty conscience.
On Lin Jichen's side, his brain was also short-circuited and his face was confused.
Hey, Master? Let me tell you something, I might want to be a prince-in-law...
