In Ji Tianxing's eyes, the Second Protector was a mysterious, inhumane and strange old woman.
But when she talked about Qianxue Empire's Crown Prince Lu Li, her tone and eyes became much gentler, and she actually revealed a bit of kindness.
Ji Tianxing immediately saw that in the eyes of the Second Protector, only young people like Lu Li who were studious, inquiring, and devoted to reading books were geniuses with both political integrity and talent.
And people like him, who have been in Shenshu Pavilion for more than a month and only know how to read history books and biographies, are like rotten wood that cannot be carved!
Ji Tianxing knew this very well, but he didn't bother to argue.
The prince of Qianxue Empire, Lu Li, was no match for him, so he wouldn't take it seriously.
After a while, the second protector slowly walked away, and Ji Tianxing also returned to the secret room to continue practicing his skills.
Although, staying in Shenshu Pavilion, life is very boring and dull.
But he has long been used to it, and feels very comfortable and comfortable, and it is also more convenient for him to practice and understand the way of swordsmanship.
However, the peaceful days were broken after only three days.
In the evening that day, Ji Tianxing was practicing in the secret room.
Suddenly, the deep voice of the Second Protector came from outside the door, "Ji Tianxing, come out quickly, I have something to say."
Ji Tianxing was interrupted from practicing and could not help but frown. He stood up slowly and walked out of the secret room.
The Second Protector was standing outside the door. After seeing him come out, he said expressionlessly: "In the next few days, you don't have to stay at Shen Shu Pavilion. Go to Ning Shen Temple and wait for orders."
Suddenly hearing the news, Ji Tianxing was startled, frowned and asked: "Ningshen Temple? Isn't that the place where the prince of Qianxue Empire temporarily lives?"
"That's right." The Second Protector nodded slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "After you arrive at Ningshen Temple, you must obey the order and serve the Crown Prince of Qianxue Empire well."
"Ask me to serve Lu Li?" Ji Tianxing frowned and stared at the Second Protector, asking, "Second Protector, is this your arrangement?"
Ever since Lu Li's ceremony came to Fengshen Mountain, he had never left the Haotian Tower.
Now the Second Protector suddenly told him to go to Ning Temple to serve Lu Li!
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be the decision of the Second Protector. After all, she values Lu Li very much.
But Ji Tianxing was dissatisfied and thought to himself: "Let alone the crown prince of the Qianxue Empire, even the Qianxue Holy Emperor is not qualified for me to serve! Do you treat me as a servant?"
The Second Protector glanced at him, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and explained in a cold tone: "I am just informing you, this is not what I meant.
This is the decision of the Great Protector. It is said that Lu Li heard about your deeds and was very interested in you, so he specially begged the Great Protector to let you go to Ningshen Temple by name."
"It's the Great Protector again!" This thought flashed through Ji Tianxing's mind, and he asked secretly: "This Lu Li, I'm afraid he's not curious about me, but he has some ulterior motive?"
Just as he was thinking silently, the Second Protector turned around and left, saying in a majestic voice: "You are guilty now, don't even think about disobeying the order of the Great Protector, otherwise your crime will be increased.
Go to Ningshen Temple quickly! If your kid is smart enough and can make Lu Li feel happy, maybe he can say a few nice words to you in front of the Great Protector."
After that, the figure of the Second Protector disappeared into the darkness and left quietly.
Ji Tianxing curled his lips and sneered secretly: "Hmph, he is just a prince of an empire, but he is quite impressive!
I would like to see what medicine is hidden in this guy’s gourd and what he wants to do!”
Then, he left the Shen Shu Pavilion and walked out of the Haotian Tower.
The sky is getting dark and night is about to fall.
The entire top of Fengshen Mountain was shrouded in darkness.
Many palaces were lit with lights and seemed very quiet.
Only the Ningshen Temple was not only illuminated with brilliant lights, but more than two hundred people lived in the palace, and voices and music were constantly heard.
Ji Tianxing walked across the square leisurely and walked outside the gate of Ningshen Temple.
Guarding outside the palace gate, in addition to several golden-armored guards, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe and a crown.
This person is dressed like a steward in a palace or a deacon in charge of internal affairs.
Seeing Ji Tianxing arriving, the man in blue robe waved to him and said with a kind face: "May I ask, sir, are you Mr. Ji Tianxing?"
Seeing that his attitude was somewhat respectful, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but feel puzzled. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in blue robe smiled and bowed his hands, saying: "I have met Mr. Ji. My surname is Fang. I am the internal affairs manager of Prince Qianxue. I came to Fengshen Mountain with His Highness to handle the internal affairs for His Highness."
Ji Tianxing nodded to him as a greeting.
Manager Fang was quite shrewd. He saw that Ji Tianxing had a cold personality and did not want to talk too much, so he quickly reached out and made a gesture of invitation.
"Mr. Ji, this is not the place for conversation. Please follow me into the palace to see my Crown Prince."
Ji Tianxing glanced at him, said nothing, and silently followed him into Ningshen Temple.
Not long after, the two of them entered the magnificent reception hall.
Sitting on the large jade chair at the main table was a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe and a gilded dragon and phoenix crown.
This man is tall and tall, has a handsome face, and has an elegant yet masculine temperament. He is really an aristocratic son with a wealth of energy.
He was sitting on a chair, holding an ancient book and reading it intently, with a hint of thoughtfulness between his brows.
Two young and beautiful maids wearing long thin sand skirts were nestling at his feet, gently beating his legs.
Upon seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing guessed that this person must be the Crown Prince of Qianxue Empire, Lu Li.
Sure enough, Manager Fang walked up to Lu Li, bowed, and reported, "Your Highness, Mr. Ji has been invited."
Lu Li quickly raised his head, put down the ancient book in his hand, and looked at Ji Tianxing with joy on his face.
The two guards were very sensible. After bowing to him and saluting, they left silently.
Lu Li stood up and walked towards Ji Tianxing. He bowed his hands with a smile and said, "Is this Mr. Ji Tianxing? I, Lu Li, have admired Mr. Ji for a long time!"
Although, when Ji Tianxing saw Lu Li being so polite, he guessed that this person must have ulterior motives.
However, as the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.
The other party was so polite, so he nodded calmly and said hello.
"Prince Lu, you're welcome."
The two exchanged a few words and then took their seats.
Manager Fang brought a cup of spiritual tea to Ji Tianxing and stood beside Lu Li silently.
Ji Tianxing did not follow Lu Li in any roundabout way and asked straight to the point: "Prince Lu, you and I are strangers and have nothing to do with each other.
But I heard that you asked me to come to Ning Temple to serve you, can you explain the reason?"
