The second guardian's tone was impatient and his attitude was cold.
Lin Daoyi felt something was wrong and frowned secretly.
But his status is one level lower than that of the Second Protector, so it's hard to say much.
The two waited for a while before the stone door of the secret room opened.
Ji Tianxing walked out, glanced at the Second Protector with an expressionless face, and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
The Second Protector glared at him with cold eyes and asked, "Yesterday I asked you if you had served Lu Li well, and you actually lied to me.
As expected, I was right about your piece of rotten wood. You really did not disappoint!
The Lin Shen envoy came to you on the orders of the Great Protector. If you have done any good deeds, just accept the punishment honestly!"
Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned, looked at him indifferently, and asked: "Second Protector, I don't seem to have offended you, right?"
"How dare you?" The second guardian sneered disdainfully.
"What does Lu Li have to do with you? Is he your son?" Ji Tianxing asked again.
The second guardian frowned and scolded in a deep voice: "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!"
Ji Tianxing raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said, "If it's not the case, then why do you defend him so much?"
The second protector sneered: "Lu Li is humble and polite, has outstanding talents, is diligent in learning and inquiring, and practices hard...
If I don't protect such a talented disciple with excellent moral character, how can I protect you, a piece of rotten wood?"
Lin Daoyi on the side looked at the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two people and seemed to be about to quarrel, so he quickly opened his mouth to smooth things over.
"Ahem...please calm down, you two. I have come to see Ji Tianxing for something, please let me talk about business first."
The Second Protector then gave up and was too lazy to pay any attention to Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing didn't bother to talk to her anymore. He looked at Lin Daoyi and asked, "Shenshi Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Dao bowed his hand to him and said quickly: "Ji Tianxing, after discussing with several divine envoys, the Great Protector decided to revoke your punishment.
From now on, you don’t have to stay in Shen Shu Pavilion to clean up, you can leave now.”
Ji Tianxing looked at him expressionlessly and said in an indifferent tone: "No need, I think Shen Shu Pavilion is very good. It is clean here and is very suitable for my cultivation."
When Lin Dao saw his reaction, he was not surprised at all, and suddenly showed a worried look.
"Tian Xing, I know that the Great Protector punished you in public before, which indeed made you feel wronged and your reputation was damaged.
But you don’t have to worry about this. The Great Protector is not targeting you, he is just dealing with it fairly.
Now that the Great Protector has revoked the punishment on you and given you a step down, you might as well take a step back, which is good for everyone..."
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said calmly: "Shenshi Lin misunderstood. I'm used to living in Shenshu Pavilion and I really don't want to go out."
"Alas..." Lin Dao sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Ji Tianxing, I understand your temperament, why are you doing this? If there is a stalemate, it will not be good for everyone."
Ji Tianxing was too lazy to explain, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Please come back."
Lin Daoyi knew that he could not be persuaded, so he could only turn around and leave and return to the Great Protector.
The second guardian stood aside and witnessed the whole process.
She looked at Lin Daoyi who was leaving, then looked at Ji Tianxing with a frown, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"What's going on with these two guys? Why did the Great Protector revoke his punishment for no reason?
Didn't he make a mistake and be punished by the Great Protector?"
She originally wanted to ask Ji Tianxing what was going on.
Unfortunately, Ji Tianxing didn't even look at her. He turned back to the secret room and closed the stone door.
She could only suppress the doubts in her heart, turned around and left.
…
On the top of Fengshen Mountain, in a magnificent palace.
In the spacious and bright study, the Great Protector was standing in front of the window, looking at the sea of clouds outside the window, silently thinking about something.
At this time, footsteps sounded at the door, and a middle-aged man in purple robe quickly walked into the study.
The Great Protector quickly turned around, looked at the man in purple robe, and asked with a majestic look: "Lin Daoyi, have you brought me your words?"
Lin Dao nodded, looking a little hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak.
The Great Protector glanced at him, frowned in confusion, and asked, "Where is Xingren Ji Tianxing? Why didn't you bring him here?"
Lin Daoyi had no choice but to tell the truth and reported: "Great Protector, your subordinates have brought it to you.
However, Ji Tianxing said that he was used to living in Shenshu Pavilion, it was a clean place and more suitable for cultivation, and he...he didn't want to leave."
The Great Protector's white eyebrows were furrowed, with an angry and funny expression on his face, "This bastard is still angry with me about what happened before!
He doesn’t want to leave, do you still want me to invite him personally?”
Lin Daoyi was also full of worry, and reminded in a low tone: "Great Protector, His Highness was there to protect Ji Tianxing, and now Ji Tianxing has been favored by the Lord of God and became the son of the Oracle.
We must do our best to cultivate him, otherwise no one will be able to bear the blame!
Facts have proven that the original worship ceremony was a misunderstanding, and we cannot let the son of the Oracle continue to be punished in the Shen Shu Pavilion for his crime."
The Great Protector nodded solemnly and said: "Of course I understand these truths! Speaking of the original incident, I didn't mean to target him.
However, I have always enforced the law strictly and will never allow anyone to offend the majesty of the Lord God.
If I don't deal with it severely, many believers will follow suit, which will inevitably affect the prestige of the Lord of God...
Alas, it was probably because I carried out the execution myself and whipped him in public that made him feel resentful, right?"
The Great Protector also realized that his original approach was a bit harsh and indeed a bit excessive.
After thinking for a while, he made up his mind, waved his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, since he refuses to borrow Po Xia's donkey, I will go to Shen Shu Pavilion to invite him in person.
In addition, Lin Daoyi, you take people to tidy up the Tiansheng Palace, be sure to pack it up and wait for Ji Tianxing to move in."
Having said that, the Great Protector left the study.
Lin Daoyi was startled for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Great Protector, do you really want to invite him in person? If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation!"
The Great Protector smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand and said, "I was once the son of the oracle, and was appointed by the Lord God as the Great Protector of the Tower. Who dares to criticize me?
Furthermore, I have always been impartial, impartial and strict. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
Since I misunderstood him and did something wrong, I should apologize to him!"
After hearing his words, Lin Daoyun stood in awe and said sincerely: "The Great Protector is indeed a noble and upright person with a broad mind. He is truly a role model for our generation."
However, the Great Protector shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to flatter me, I am not as generous as you say.
The main reason is that Ji Tianxing has gained the favor of the God Lord!
He is the son of the Oracle and will be the chosen one tomorrow, so I can treat him like this.
Moreover, the oracle sent down by the God Lord has far-reaching significance, we must treat it with caution!"
