Although, Lu Li knew that Jiang Ningxue had a deep love for him.
With Jiang Ningxue's status, family background, appearance, temperament and talent, it was indeed the best choice for him.
However, compared with the world's best divine sword, Jiang Ningxue seems not that important.
In his mind, how can a beautiful woman be as important as a martial arts future?
Seeing that he was silent and seemed to be weighing something, Jiang Ningxue was suddenly filled with anxiety, and the anger on her pretty face became even more intense.
"Lu Li, what are you thinking about? Do you... do you want me to agree to his rude conditions?"
Jiang Ningxue originally thought that Lu Li would be as angry as her and flatly rejected this condition.
But Lu Li's reaction seemed to be weighing the pros and cons and considering whether to agree or not.
This made Jiang Ningxue feel increasingly sad, angry and disappointed, and her clear eyes gradually became covered with a layer of mist.
Lu Li came back to his senses, glanced at her, and thought to himself: "The Heaven Burying Sword is the best sword in the world. Ji Tianxing is neither a fool nor a lustful disciple, how could he give away the Heaven Burying Sword so easily?
Does he have any conspiracy, or does he not understand the value and significance of the Sky Burial Sword at all?"
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked at Jiang Ningxue and comforted him: "Xue'er, don't worry, there are still many doubts about this matter.
The black sword Ji Tianxing took out, he claimed to be the Sky Burial Sword, tell me what that sword is like?"
Jiang Ningxue was stunned for a moment, then thought of some possibility, and answered truthfully: "The sword is three feet long and two inches wide. It is dark and cold, and has a lifelike black dragon carved on the hilt.
I held the sword and examined it carefully. It has a soul and powerful divine power. It is definitely not an ordinary thing."
After Lu Li heard this, he frowned, "Is that sword intact? Is there a black dragon carved on the hilt?"
"That's right." Jiang Ningxue nodded.
Lu Li's expression suddenly changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Xue'er, you were deceived by Ji Tianxing, that was not the Heaven Burial Sword at all!
The real Sky Burial Sword was severely damaged when the sword god fell and is already in pieces.
With Ji Tianxing's level of strength, it is impossible to completely repair the Sky Burial Sword!
Moreover, there is no black dragon engraved on the hilt of the Heavenly Burial Sword at all!"
Jiang Ningxue was immediately trembling with anger, her face turned pale, and she was even more ashamed and angry.
"Damn you bastard, this despicable bastard! He actually used a fake sword to pretend to be the Heavenly Burial Sword, and he wanted to deceive me of my innocence?"
Lu Li waved his hand towards her and persuaded her, "Xue'er, you don't have to be so angry. Things haven't happened yet!"
Jiang Ningxue suppressed her hatred and anger, frowned and asked, "If that wasn't the Heaven Burying Sword, why did Ji Tianxing lie to me with a fake sword?"
Lu Li's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold tone: "Obviously, Ji Tianxing has become suspicious and deliberately used a fake sword to pretend to be the Heavenly Burial Sword to test your reaction.
Judging from all the signs, that kid is not simple. He must know the value and significance of the Sky Burial Sword, and he has already doubted our motives."
Jiang Ningxue showed a worried look and asked, "Then what should we do? Do I want to continue to get close to him?"
Lu Li thought for a while and then said calmly: "Of course you have to stay in Ningshen Temple and continue to live next door to him. But you don't have to take the initiative to approach him, just let nature take its course.
Although he has become suspicious and we cannot obtain the Heavenly Burial Sword for the time being, I still have follow-up plans.
Taking advantage of this opportunity of worship, I will sow a wedge between him and the Izumo Empire, and try my best to win him over to join the Qianxue Empire.
If my plan succeeds and allows him to leave Fengshen Mountain, then his life and death will not be up to him, and the Heavenly Burial Sword must be in my bag."
After hearing his words, Jiang Ningxue understood what he meant.
On Fengshen Mountain, it was impossible for Lu Li to use force to snatch the Heaven Burying Sword.
Once Ji Tianxing leaves Fengshen Mountain, he no longer has to be secretive and can use whatever means necessary!
Next, the two discussed some things and determined the next plan.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Ningxue said goodbye to Lu Li and left the study.
…
Before I knew it, three days had passed.
For the past three days, Ji Tianxing has been practicing in the courtyard of Ningshen Temple.
The situation was as he expected, Jiang Ningxue still lived in the room next to his, but never came to see him again.
Even when the two of them met occasionally, Jiang Ningxue would turn away with a cold face, anger still hanging on her brows.
Ji Tianxing was not surprised at all by this result.
After all, Jiang Ningxue is a beautiful woman with extraordinary background, talent and beauty.
She is not a scheming femme fatale, and of course she would not throw herself into someone else's arms just for a sword.
Genius, of course, has the dignity and pride of genius.
However, compared to the tranquility of Ningshen Temple, the palace where the geniuses from the Six Nations lived was a bit lively and undercurrent.
I don’t know who released the news and it spread among the geniuses in the six countries.
Now, everyone knows that Ji Tianxing has taken refuge with Lu Li, the crown prince of the Qianxue Empire, and lives in Ningshen Temple.
Lu Li was also a disciple of the gods, and was highly regarded by the two guardians and several divine envoys.
Every few years, Lu Li would return to Feng Shenshan to worship. He seemed to respect his master and his attitude towards the god was extremely pious.
Geniuses from all over the world are talking about how Ji Tianxing can be appreciated and valued by Lu Li, which can be regarded as a sudden change in life.
Even if this kid cannot become a divine disciple in the future, he can still be cultivated by Lu Li and prosper in the Qianxue Empire.
The dozen or so geniuses from the Izumo Empire were quite angry and contemptuous of Ji Tianxing's defection to Lu Li.
In their view, Ji Tianxing was the number one genius in the Izumo Empire, and it was already embarrassing enough for him to ruin the worship ceremony.
Now he has joined the service of the Crown Prince of the Qianxue Empire. This is simply shameless and has brought the Izumo Empire into disrepute!
If it were not convenient for them to go to Ningshen Temple, they would have reprimanded Ji Tianxing in person.
In addition to this news, some people familiar with the matter said that Lu Li begged the Great Protector to give Ji Tianxing another chance.
When the seven-day period is over, Lu Li will take Ji Tianxing with him when he goes to the temple to worship.
As long as Ji Tianxing worships devoutly at the temple and sincerely repentes, it is possible to dispel the anger of the Great Protector.
When the time comes, if Lu Li says a few kind words to the Great Protector, maybe Ji Tianxing will be exempted from punishment.
When the geniuses from all over the world heard the news, they all secretly criticized them and only waited to see Lu Li and Ji Tianxing with their own eyes when Lu Li went to the temple to worship.
Soon, the seven-day deadline is up.
Today is the day for Lu Li to go to the temple to worship.
Early in the morning, the maids and guards in Ningshen Temple were all busy and bustling with people.
Geniuses from all over the world also rushed to the square outside the temple, waiting for the arrival of Lu Li and Ji Tianxing.
