With the escort of Yun Lanyi, a powerful person in the Ascension Realm, Lin Jichen left Siya very smoothly and slipped out of the sect.
"I can only send you here. Your great elder is in critical condition and I can't leave.
Yun Lanyi escorted him all the way, and did not say goodbye until it was safe.
Lin Jichen nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you Sect Leader Yun for your generous action! However, you won't be in trouble if you are discovered, right?" Yun Lanyi said helplessly: "If there is any trouble, I will say it has nothing to do with me anyway. How can your sect be suspicious?"
You won't be suspicious of me as a guest.
"That's true. In that case, Sect Master Yun, I'll take my leave now. When I find out the truth, I will bring you a gift when I come back!" Lin Jichen said with a smile.
Yun Lanyi looked unconcerned on the surface, but she was a little happy in her heart. She hummed: "As long as you live, I don't want any gifts, as long as you remember what you promised me."
"Of course, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so I took my leave."
After Lin Jichen said this, he turned around and disappeared into the night sky.
Yun Lanyi watched him go away with a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
She thought that after finally coming to Jianzong, she could meet Lin Jichen a few more times, but she didn't expect that it would only be a quick visit.
Yun Lanyi sighed and was about to go back when she turned around and found a woman in white standing behind her.
Yun Lanyi was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Feiyan, why are you here?"
Leng Feiyan looked at her with a half-smile and said, "How could I know that my good friend would do such a thing if I wasn't here?
Yun Lanyi felt guilty inexplicably. She thought her thoughts were being read by Leng Feiyan, and she became so nervous that she stopped talking.
"What did I do? Feiyan, you misunderstood me. I definitely don't like it."
"Are you talking about a misunderstanding? I saw you sending my disciple down the mountain with my own eyes! Hey, what did you just say that you were not happy?
Leng Feiyan said doubtfully.
Yun Lanyi pretended to be calm and said: "Oh, it's nothing. I said that I admitted that I did send your apprentice out. He said that he wanted to go down the mountain to find a way and come back to save your great elder. I can't bear your great elder to say this.
When the heart is broken, the body dies and the path disappears, so if you feel weak for a moment, give him a hand.
Leng Feiyan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You, you, aren't you deliberately breaking the rules of my sect? Besides, how can he, a disciple, help the Heavenly Sword Master? You are really whimsical.
Yun Lanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Let him try, maybe a dead horse can be a living horse doctor.
"You, you, are still so warm-hearted. By the way, you sneaked out of Jingsi Cliff in the middle of the night to meet my disciple, and you helped him escape. Are you on such a good relationship?"
Leng Feiyan realized something was wrong and looked at Yun Lanyi with some suspicion.
Yun Lanyi seemed to have been found to be worried, her pretty face turned red, her eyes wandered, and he hesitated: "Oh. Last time I saved your disciple, I was afraid that his injury would have sequelae before he recovered, so I left a message to let him have problems.
Contact yourself, nothing else matters."
Leng Feiyan suddenly realized, without thinking much, he sighed and said: "Oh, forget it, wait for the bad guy to come back and see how I teach him a lesson. Let's go back to sleep, Lan Yi."
"Oh." Yun Lanyi hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but say a kind word to Lin Jichen on the way: "He is also an old man who wants to help your elder, so don't be too angry when he comes back.
"Lanyi, you are a kind-hearted person. If you are free tomorrow, I will cook something delicious for you." Leng Feiyan chuckled and took Yun Lanyi's arm.
"Okay, I heard from your disciple that your cooking skills are great. This is the first time I know that you have this ability. I have to try it tomorrow.
Yun Lanyi agreed with a smile, and the two of them chatted and laughed like ordinary best friends, and returned to the sect all the way.
Lin Jichen, on the other hand, ran non-stop to Fengqu City and put on a mask in order to hide his identity from others.
After all, the whole world now knows that Lin Jichen was imprisoned. It would be bad for the sect's reputation if he escaped within a few days.
After he arrived at Fengqu City, he went straight to the palace.
He used the jade pendant to contact Ji Tongyin in advance. Eunuch Gao had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time.
With his guidance, Lin Jichen arrived at Ji Tongyin's study without any hindrance.
As soon as they met, Ji Tongyin said with concern: "Master Lin, your sect hasn't given you any trouble in the past few days, has it?
Lin Jichen smiled and said: "Of course not, I just sat on Jingsi Cliff for a few days, it's nothing at all."
"But will you be okay if you escape this time?" Ji Tongyin said worriedly, then extended an olive branch and said: "Master Lin, how about you do the same as your senior brother, leave the Sword Sect and join me, Qianlong
How about it? Whatever you want, I can promise you. Even if you want to be the emperor, Tongyin is willing to give up the throne immediately. I will support you behind you in the future and be your queen..."
After saying this, Ji Tongyin's beautiful face turned red. She had always dreamed of this scene. Between the two positions of emperor and Lin Jichen's queen, she would choose the latter without hesitation.
Lin Jichen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and said: "Tongyin, I appreciate your kindness, but I will not leave the Jianzong. Besides, I am not suitable to be an emperor at all. Sitting on this dragon chair, looking at those memorials, I feel...
I feel sleepy all the time."
Although Ji Tongyin was a little regretful, she did not persist and said, "Okay, no matter when you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."
"Thank you, but I am here this time to ask you something."
"Master Lin was punished by the sect because of Tongyin. Even if you ask me ten hundred things, I will agree." Ji Tongyin said.
Lin Jichen got straight to the point and said: "I want to meet the maid in your royal family's forbidden area.
Ji Tongyin was startled, but she responded quickly and said: "Do you want to use this maid's life to save your senior brother?
"Yes, but I still want to know what secrets this maid holds so that I can deal with the Ghost Palace in the future." Lin Jichen said bluntly.
Ji Tongyin nodded and said: "To be honest, I also want to know, but because of the face of my father and the royal family, I have never gone into it.
"But since Mr. Lin has spoken, I will go with you!"
Lin Jichen asked with a smile: "Your father knows that he won't blame you, right?"
Ji Tongyin smiled contemptuously and said: "Put the blame on me, who made me a girl? My father doesn't care about my life or death at all. I am just a stepping stone for my brothers to successfully ascend to the throne.
Lin Jichen was naturally aware of Ji Tongyin's sorrow, and he comforted him: "Tongyin, you are not a stepping stone. On the contrary, with your ability, you are the most suitable to inherit the throne. Your brothers are all short-sighted and weak-skilled. They are not worthy of competing with you."
You fight."
Ji Tong smiled, but nodded heavily, her eyes showing her desire for power.
"You are right. I also feel that leaving the throne to them will only cause Qianlong to decline day by day. Only I can lead Qianlong to prosperity!
