Ji Tianxing never expected that Lu Li would suddenly say these words.
A thought came to his mind subconsciously, "A honey trap? It seems like this guy has quite a conspiracy!"
With this thought in his mind, he looked at Lu Li calmly, shook his head and said, "Prince Lu, Jiang Ningxue is certainly a rare beauty, but relationships are about your own will.
Moreover, I already have a wife, and I only care about her and will never fall in love with anyone else."
Lu Li seemed to have expected such an answer. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "Young master Ji, that's wrong. How can a great man not have three wives and four concubines?
Even the wealthy families in the mortal world are full of wives and concubines. A proud man like you should have countless beauties to be worthy of your talent and prestige!
As for Jiang Ningxue, Mr. Ji, you can rest assured that Jiang Ningxue will not dare to disobey her orders if I come forward as a matchmaker.
Moreover, Mr. Ji, you are so handsome, powerful and talented, so many women have fallen in love with you, maybe Jiang Ningxue also has a crush on you?"
Ji Tianxing just smiled and didn't say much.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li continued to persuade: "Mr. Ji, even if you already have a wife, Jiang Ningxue can still be your concubine!
As long as Mr. Ji nods, I will immediately summon Jiang Ningxue to meet you and create an opportunity for you.
The two of you are both outstanding talents, if you can become a Taoist couple, it will be a good story if word spreads!"
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said seriously: "I appreciate Prince Lu's kindness, but I have made up my mind and there is no need to mention this matter again."
Seeing his firm refusal, Lu Li didn't feel embarrassed, smiled and nodded: "In that case, let it take its course.
It’s true that I think highly of you, and I’m really a little impatient.”
Ji Tianxing stood up, cupped his hands and said to him, "Prince Lu, it's late at night. If there's nothing else to do, I'll take my leave."
Lu Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's just talk about this tonight. Mr. Ji, please go down and rest early.
I have asked Manager Fang to arrange a place for you. In the next few days, Mr. Ji will stay in Ningshen Temple.
After four days, please invite Mr. Ji to accompany me to the temple to worship Lord Taihao."
Ji Tianxing was suddenly startled, looked at him with a frown, and asked: "Prince Lu, is this your decision? Or is it the intention of the Great Protector?"
Lu Li showed a smile and explained: "Of course it is what I mean! I know that the previous incident was a misunderstanding, which led to Mr. Ji being punished.
I have thought about it for a long time before making this decision, and I sincerely ask the Great Protector to give you another chance.
For my sake, the Great Protector agreed to this matter and allowed you to follow me to the temple to worship again.
As long as Mr. Ji sincerely repentes in the temple, the previous misunderstanding can be resolved and the embarrassment between you and the Great Protector can be eased..."
After saying that, Lu Li showed a confident smile and stared at Ji Tianxing.
He thought to himself: "Ji Tianxing is now guilty. Not only has he offended the Great Protector, but he has also been ridiculed by young geniuses from all over the world.
He is a proud and arrogant person, how can he endure such humiliation?
He must be full of resentment in his heart, but there is no way to resolve it.
I interceded with the Great Protector on his behalf to give him a chance to change his ways, which also happened to give him a step down.
As long as he is not a fool, he will definitely seize this opportunity and be grateful to me!"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since Prince Lu has such good intentions, I would rather obey his orders than respect him.
Anyway, the Great Protector transferred me to Ningshen Temple, and I can’t disobey him, so I can only stay here and let Prince Lu arrange it.”
Seeing that he really agreed, Lu Li felt secretly happy and nodded quickly: "In that case, let's make an agreement.
Manager Fang, please take Mr. Ji down to rest.
I must tell my subordinates to serve Mr. Ji well and never neglect him!"
Manager Fang quickly bowed and accepted the order, leaving the living room with Ji Tianxing and walking deeper into the palace.
After Manager Fang left with Ji Tianxing, Lu Li was still standing in the living room, looking at the night outside the door.
His eyes were filled with light, and there was a vague sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured secretly: "Humph, this damn Ji Tianxing is indeed a cunning and difficult person!
No wonder Captain Wang and Deacon Sun failed in their operation. They failed to capture the Heavenly Burial Sword and were seriously injured by Ji Tianxing!
Not only is this guy extraordinary in strength, he is also very scheming and really difficult to deal with!
However, if I come forward in person and use the opportunity of worship to deal with him, I have a good chance of winning.
Now that he has accepted my overtures, the first step of my plan has been completed.
In the next few days, if I continue to strike while the iron is hot, I will definitely succeed in seizing the Heavenly Burial Sword!"
Having said this, the corners of Lu Li's mouth curved upward, and he narrowed his eyes with a sneer.
He stepped out of the reception hall and entered the heavily guarded study.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Manager Fang came back and came to the study to report back to him.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have made arrangements for Ji Tianxing and he has stayed to rest."
Lu Li nodded with satisfaction, and the manager of the other party ordered: "Summon Jiang Ningxue to the study immediately. I have important instructions."
Mr. Fang obeyed and quickly walked out of the study to carry out the order.
Lu Li sat in front of the large desk, holding a cup of spiritual tea and savoring it carefully.
After he finished his cup of spiritual tea, Manager Fang also brought Jiang Ningxue to the study.
Manager Fang wisely stepped back and closed the door.
Lu Li and Jiang Ningxue were the only two people left in the study.
Lu Li sat on the big jade chair, holding a jade tea cup in his hand, and turned to look at Jiang Ningxue.
Jiang Ningxue, wearing a snow-white dress, stood elegantly and dignified in the study room, looking directly at Lu Li.
Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, contained a hint of affection and a bit of joy.
"Lu Li, didn't you let me practice in Haotian Tower with peace of mind and come see me again in two years?
How come I've only been away for two months and you come to Fengshen Mountain to worship?"
There is no doubt that Jiang Ningxue and Lu Li have known each other for a long time, and their relationship is not simple.
Lu Li nodded calmly, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said in a low tone: "Xue'er, it's a long story, come sit down and talk."
Jiang Ningxue responded, moved lightly to the desk, and sat down in a dignified posture.
Lu Li looked at her solemnly, sighed, and then said: "Xue'er, I won't hide it from you. This time I came to Feng Shen Mountain on the order of my father."
"The Holy Emperor's order?" Jiang Ningxue was startled for a moment, and seeing his serious expression, she asked with concern: "Lu Li, what is it that makes you so worried?"
Lu Li stared at her and lowered his voice: "Have you ever heard of the Sky Burial Sword?"
