Nangong Ao's remarks made Ji Tianxing unable to resist and unable to answer.
He couldn't find anything to say in reply for a moment, so he could only frown and remain silent.
Acceptance is impossible.
If he said he had no feelings for Nangong Nihuang, it would be impossible to accept her affection, which would embarrass her and hurt her heart and self-esteem.
Seeing Ji Tianxing's silence, Nangong Ao thought that he hadn't made up his mind yet and was still hesitating and weighing, so he persuaded him with sincerity: "Brother, only by going through ups and downs, life and death, can you see who really cares and loves you.
I advise you to think about this matter carefully and really don’t hurt her a second time.”
Seeing that Nangong Ao's misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Ji Tianxing had no choice but to explain: "Of course I don't want to hurt Nihuang, but I really can't accept her affection.
In fact, I am not alone when I come to Yanxu Cave this time.
I brought my family and friends with me, and I already have a wife and children..."
Nangong Ao, who was just about to turn around and leave, suddenly turned around and looked at him with a ghostly expression on his face.
"You...when did you get married?? You actually have children??"
For a long time, Nangong Ao's impression and understanding of the Sword God was that of a cold ice cube and an incomprehensible piece of wood.
It seems that the Sword God is obsessed with the practice of swordsmanship and has no interest in the relationship between men and women.
Even if the sword god never marries for the rest of his life, Nangong Ao would not be surprised.
But he didn't expect that the Sword God, whom he hadn't seen for more than a thousand years, would change his temper!
Not only did he marry a wife, he also gave birth to children!
Nangong Ao's eyes widened with an unbelievable expression on his face, and he stared straight at Ji Tianxing, as if he wanted to see through him.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ji Tianxing said calmly: "Don't look at me like that, what I said is true."
Nangong Ao frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "You can't believe what you say. When you let me see your wife and children, I will believe you."
Ji Tianxing: "They are practicing and healing in seclusion. You can see them if you have a chance in the future."
In this case, Nangong Ao had no choice but to accept this fact if he didn't want to believe it.
He changed his mind and suddenly became enlightened. He smiled again and said, "You used to be as cold as an iceberg. I thought you would stay unmarried for the rest of your life and keep your sword as your companion.
Since you have already broken the vow, you don't care about marrying another one.
As long as you accept Nihuang, even if you can't be your wife, I believe she will be willing to let her be your concubine."
"Breaking the precept?" Regarding this word, Ji Tianxing could only frown, dumbfounded.
But he didn't care about it and explained: "I already have two wives and a pair of children. We have gone through many ups and downs and hardships before we can be reunited as a family in harmony.
I will never marry another wife or have concubines, that would hurt them and be unfair to them..."
"This..." Nangong Ao didn't agree with his concept and said with a wry smile: "Why are you as stubborn as Nihuang?"
Ji Tianxing just smiled and didn't explain much.
"If you want to be a lobbyist for Nihuang, then forget it.
If there is nothing else, I will prepare to retreat for recuperation."
"Don't stop ..." Nangong Ao waved his hand quickly and accompanied him with a smile: "I just ask a few words by the way, but I didn't make a special trip to the Phoenix as a lobbyist.
I have something serious to ask you. Don’t you want to overthrow the rule of Emperor Shura and seize the Haotian Continent?
For such an earth-shattering event, one must be well prepared.
If we wait until you finish your retreat to start again, we will waste several months.
Why don't you tell me now, is there anything I need to do, or prepare or plan in advance?"
Ji Tianxing glanced at him, chuckled and said: "It seems that you can't stay idle for a whole day in this Yanxu Cave.
You asked me for a job because you want to go out as soon as possible, right?"
"Hehe..." Nangong Ao grinned, acquiescing.
Ji Tianxing thought for a while and then said: "I will be in seclusion for about three months. During this time, you can help me investigate the detailed information of the domain lords in Haotian Continent.
There are also those powerful God Kings who were left behind by God Emperor Shura above those Territory Lords.
You need to make a list, the more detailed the better!”
Nangong Ao's eyes suddenly lit up, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Death list? Hehehehe... This mission is very exciting, I like it!
You can rest assured that I will do my best to compile this list as soon as possible."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Okay, then you should act as soon as possible."
Nangong Ao thought for a moment and then asked: "With the power of you and our Nangong clan alone, I'm afraid we still won't be able to overthrow the rule of God Emperor Shura.
There are many ancient clans who are willing to listen and follow you, so you have to contact them in advance, right?"
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said: "Of course we have to do this, but not now, and I won't leave it to you to do it."
Nangong Ao spread his hands and shrugged: "Well, my reputation and status are indeed not qualified.
Okay, you can retreat in peace, I will go to the head of the family and ask him to let me go out to carry out my mission."
Seeing him turn around and leave with excitement, Ji Tianxing quickly warned: "The powerful men under Emperor Shura may receive some rumors.
Therefore, you must be careful when performing tasks and pay attention to safety!"
"Understood!" Nangong Ao waved his hand and left the study without looking back.
Seeing his back disappearing outside the garden, Ji Tianxing withdrew his gaze.
After a while, he entered the secret room deep underground and prepared to practice in seclusion.
"Whoa!"
After entering the secret room, he sacrificed the Nine Heavens and Ten Jue Towers and entered the twisted time and space.
The reason why he came to Yanxu Cave and decided to retreat for a few months was not because he wanted to heal his injuries.
In fact, his injuries were not serious, his strength was consumed too much, and he was recovering slowly, which did not affect his combat effectiveness.
The reason why he stayed in seclusion for several months was actually because... the battle on Tiance Star had benefited him a lot and his realm had improved.
Now, he is very close to the peak god king.
Before the start of the 'Shocking Plan', he will practice in seclusion for a period of time and reach the peak of the God King!
…
Under the Blood Flame Divine Tree, Ji Tianxing's consciousness swept around and checked the situation of everyone.
It was quiet under the tree, and everyone was sitting on the platform, concentrating on retreating to heal and practice.
Ji Tianxing raised his head and glanced at the huge Blood Flame Divine Tree, a hint of admiration and relief flashed in his eyes.
In the battle of Tiance Star, hundreds of powerful God Kings and countless masters of God Kings were killed.
Naturally, the souls and blood of those strong men were swallowed up by the Blood Flame Sacred Tree.
That battle was the one in which the Blood Flame Divine Tree devoured the most power in its history.
It has grown into a king-level high-grade sacred tree many years ago.
And the battle of Tiance Star made it break through again, and it is in the process of being promoted to the best king level!
Now, the entire crown of the Blood Flame Sacred Tree is surging with blood fire and purple flames soaring into the sky.
Ji Tianxing believes that in a few years, it will become a king-level sacred tree!
By that time, this sacred tree will become the fifth divine artifact he owns!
