Chapter 338 Identity exposed? ([-] words please subscribe)

Gift... In the room, the charcoal fire in the brazier was beating. Xu Xiurong stared blankly at the jade bracelet handed to him, and suddenly smiled.

At this moment, the room seemed to be illuminated.

There was no pretentious hesitation or polite refusal. After a few symbolic pushes and pulls, she earnestly took it with both hands and put it on her wrist.

Xu Xiurong's wrists are slender and fair, and every trace of her skin is gleaming with the sheen of mutton fat and jade.

The colors match well too...

"Thank you, Master!" She burst into tears and smiled, a little excited, but more little pearls fell from her eyes.

If you are an outsider, you will always feel a little burdened when facing such a precious gift, but Xu Xiurong has no pressure at all.

Even in her eyes, she didn't care about the value of the gift itself. There was no difference whether it was a heaven-viewing magic weapon or a random bracelet sold for a few pennies on the roadside.

What she cares about is the person giving it.

And Ji Ping'an doesn't care much either. It's just a heaven-observing magic weapon. He really doesn't care...

Rich and arrogant.

Of course, the key point also depends on who you give it to.

My family always needs to be pampered.

"Okay, don't cry anymore. What does it sound like to let outsiders see the Great Star Official?"

Ji Ping'an sighed and suddenly saw an idle chessboard in the room. He simply stood up and said:
"Let's talk about a game. I haven't played chess with you for many years."

"Okay!" Xu Xiurong responded obediently, stood up, and took the initiative to bend over to set up the chessboard and place the chess baskets.

After that, the two of them settled down one after another, and there was a constant flow of slight snapping sounds in the room.

After a long time, the chess game was about halfway through. Ji Ping'an saw that Xu Xiurong's mood had finally calmed down, and then he asked her about her experience during this period.

Xu Xiurong has been practicing in seclusion for most of the past six months, so there is not much to say. The focus is on what she learned and saw after arriving in Yuhang.

In other words, the word "situation".

This is exactly what Ji Ping'an is missing.

Xu Xiurong said:

"Emperor Yuan Qing has declared war and ordered the deployment of troops at the border of Leizhou to confront the demon clan and conduct small-scale attacks and defenses, but he has not yet launched a large-scale war. After all, the time is too short, and it will take time for both sides to mobilize their troops. "

Ji Pingan held the chess piece and asked:
"What did Xin Yaoguang say? I heard that she is going to hold a summit?"

Xu Xiurong nodded:
"Headmaster Xin is currently in Yuhang, and the post for the summit has been sent out. Now all forces are gathering, and it is estimated that it will be held in a few days. Naturally, they want to discuss how to deal with the war with the demon clan."

After a pause, she blinked and glanced at Ji Ping'an secretly, but hesitated to speak.

"We're not just talking about dealing with the demon clan, but we're also talking about me, right?" Ji Ping'an said calmly.

Xu Xiurong was exposed, biting her lips and responded like a mosquito, looking a little worried:
"Your appearance has had a huge impact. I have clearly felt the difference during my stay in Qintian Prison. The attitudes of all parties towards us have changed."

People are very real.

Previously, when the Imperial Master died, people left and the tea was cool, and then after the stars returned to their positions, although many people were also looking for traces of the Imperial Master's rebirth.

But firstly, he was not found, and secondly, even though he was once a peak powerhouse, after his reincarnation, the threat was obviously much smaller.

But the last time Ji Ping'an showed up, he really scared too many people.

Regardless of whether he faked his death or used trump cards, he was still fearful. Correspondingly, he also respected Qin Tianjian's attitude a lot.

"It's human nature. By the way, is there any news about me from the Buddhist side?" Ji Ping'an asked.

"Buddhism?" Xu Xiurong was stunned for a moment, and his fair and delicate face was blank:
"Didn't hear that."

Sure enough... Ji Ping'an finally confirmed that Lord Buddha had indeed not announced his identity.

That's a good thing, but it's also a bomb that could go off at any time.

Xu Xiurong pinched the white piece with two green jade fingers, peeked at Ji Ping'an's contemplation, and realized that the master was not examining the chess game, but thinking about some big things.

She endured it, but still couldn't hold it back and asked:
"Previously, Headmaster Xin sent out a flying sword to kill Yuezhou..."

Ji Ping'an said "En" and said indifferently:
"I did it."

Then, he casually told the story of using his trump card, meeting the Buddha, following him to the Bodhisattva realm, and then summoning Xin Yaoguang to strike with a sword.

There was not much to hide, and Xu Xiurong was shocked when he heard these secrets.

Lord Buddha took action... Buddha "resurrected"... This was something beyond her cognition.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Pingan briefly mentioned that he had destroyed the human world and subdued a group of reborn people, and told her not to leak it.

Xu Xiurong nodded vigorously, remembering to keep his mouth shut, and said he would never leak the secret.

Her mouth is very tight!

Finally, he was stunned for a moment and said with worry:
"So, was I too reckless before? Will killing two monks anger the Buddhists?"

Ji Pingan laughed and said:

"What are you thinking? Do you really think that if the other party knows my identity, they can do something about it? You have to remember that it's not that I'm afraid of being exposed, but that the other party doesn't want to tell me."

Identity exposed...

Is Ji Ping'an worried?If you say you don't care, that would definitely be a lie, but if you have to say how scared it is, it doesn't matter.

The situation has been changing, and the current situation is different from before.

Previously, all parties were frantically looking for the reborn person, which was a competitive relationship, so he had been hiding.

But now, in terms of the general environment, the demon clan took the lead in breaking the peace and became an enemy of the entire human race. It has a strong enough "external conflict".

And Buddhism had internal conflicts with Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, Ji Ping'an already has old friends in various forces, as well as the strength of Qin Tianjian itself.

According to his estimation, as long as he is not caught in a remote place.

The more complicated the situation, the better it is for him.

At present, there is a powerful enemy, and anyone who wants to take action against him will be like destroying the alliance and causing internal division.

For example, Xin Yaoguang is holding a summit now and is preparing to form an alliance to face the enemy. Even if Ji Pingan's identity is exposed at this time, who would dare to really touch him?

Once it is moved, those "old friends" who have returned to the major sects will obstruct it, leading to internal instability.

It will even damage one's own combat power, and even lead to being blamed for colluding with the demon clan.

After all, the Imperial Master has just killed a lot of powerful monsters. Why do you want to deal with him now?
What do the people of the world think?
Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world?

As a former traitor, Ji Ping'an understands the constraints of public opinion all too well.

Therefore, it can even be said that the larger the place, such as Shendu, such as Yuhang, the safer it is for Ji Ping'an.

And all these changes are only due to the common foreign enemy of the "demon clan".

Ji Ping'an had speculated about this situation before, but after all, he was not sure, so he chose to hide to avoid the limelight.

Now that two months have passed, the situation has developed as he predicted.

"Buddhists will fight when they should. When I was here, how could they dare to go north?"

Ji Ping'an picked up the black pieces and pressed them on the chessboard, smiling:
"Besides, do you think Lord Buddha is afraid that I will expose his problems and spread the word?"

Xu Xiurong was startled, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he felt relieved.

Putting aside her worries and starting to lose focus, the female warden suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, how many people know your identity now?"

Ji Ping'an said in surprise: "Why do you ask this?"

Xu Xiurong hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said:

"I met Senior Xue Ji in Yuhang, and I also heard that...Xu Yuanyun, you were the first to find Master Xu. They..."

Xu Xiurong's tone was a little strange, and his eyes were somewhat searching.

Of course she knew about the scandal between Xue Ji and Xu Yuanyun and the Imperial Master of Zhou Dynasty. Originally, such gossip about the privacy of important people had nothing to do with it.

But when I see the living gossip heroine... I can't help but feel weird.

Ji Ping'an's hand stopped playing chess and he almost couldn't hold it anymore. This topic gave him more headaches than Lord Buddha's threat.

Xu Xiurong caught this detail, and her eyes suddenly felt resentful.

"You don't have to worry about this." Ji Ping'an said calmly, "I have my own arrangements."

So...we have really recognized each other?

Xu Xiurong was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said:

"The summit is coming soon. Master Xu will definitely come to Yuhang. What if the two of them meet?"

Ha... It's too late for you to worry, I've already seen him once... Ji Ping'an remained silent.

Had bad memories.

The last time Xu Yuanyun and Xue Ji met in private, it was thrilling.

Although he covered it up in the end, the possibility of a thunderstorm was still there.

If we really meet again at this summit and he is not here and cannot fix it in time, I am really worried.

"...I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry about it." Ji Pingan rubbed his brows helplessly.

In fact, I can share your worries for you, Master... Xu Xiurong swallowed these words and did not say them out after all.

Then, the two chatted for a while, mostly talking about Qin Tianjian's next response. Xu Xiurong was a little confused.

The summit is about to be held, but the old man has not returned yet. As the only one who can watch the sky, she should be the one to take the top spot.

But although Xu Xiurong has made a breakthrough in cultivation, she is a complete novice when it comes to this kind of "political struggle".

It can be seen that he was almost killed in the struggle between the departments.

"Let's do this." After Ji Ping'an heard this, he placed the last chess piece and said, "Let me meet someone first, and then we can discuss it in depth."

Bitch?Which bitch...Xu Xiurong was puzzled.

Immediately, he realized that he had lost the game, but Ji Ping'an had stood up, opened the door, and looked to the west with his hands behind his hands.

Xu Xiurong pursed his lips and picked up the fur shawl. Shi Shiran walked behind him and was about to put it on for him. At this time, the great monk suddenly had an idea.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly arose.

Xu Xiurong suddenly looked into the distance and saw circles of golden ripples spreading in the sky, as if invisible shells were bombarding the world.

Silently, a female monk wearing a feather coat, a lotus crown on her head, and holding a fly whisk in her hand, graceful and graceful, slowly fell down like a fairy falling into the mortal world.

The slightly illusory body proves that it is not the real body, but the "yang god" state of going out.

Xu Xiurong's hair suddenly stood up, and he acted on guard and defense. He moved the wrist wearing the jade bracelet, and the jade bracelet suddenly stretched into a small sword.

And stopped in front of Ji Ping'an!

Xin Yaoguang raised his eyebrows, seeming displeased: "Why is Xu Jianhou so hostile? Do you think that I will come to rob someone?"

Is not it?Xu Xiurong looked like a cat guarding its food.

The next second, a dry hand pressed her wrist. Ji Ping'an shook his head and said with a smile:
"The headmaster's arrival is a surprise."

……

……

Xu County, inn.

Fan Ju sat at the table in the room on the second floor, writing furiously.

The scabbard of his sword was in his hand, and the blood on it had not yet dried.

"...This matter is serious. Disciple Fan Ju, please give me some advice..."

pen to paper.

Fan Ju took a long breath and examined the large letter spread out in front of him, his elegant face full of solemnity.

After it is confirmed that the Buddhist Arhat is dead, he and Yiweishen will return to Xu County, and the two parties will separate and deal with the aftermath.

The so-called "remediation" is nothing more than reporting to the top.

After Xu Xiurong intervened, this matter was no longer something they could interfere with.

"Alas." Fan Ju sighed, folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope, feeling very complicated.

Originally they were just chasing the traces of a group of people in the human world, but they ended up getting confused and got into a fight with a strong Buddhist man, and finally got involved in the Qintian Prison.

baffling.

Until now, he had roughly guessed that the organization "Human World" might have been incorporated by Qin Tianjian.

This time it was a fishing bureau set up by the other party, and he might have been tricked and used as a knife.

"Master, are you looking for me?" The door opened behind him, and the handsome disciple cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

Fan Ju handed him the envelope and said:

"Immediately send the news to the nearest Taoist temple and relay it to Yuhang with the help of formations."

The disciple had a solemn expression and said "Yes", and then said without giving up:

"Master, won't you continue to investigate this matter?"

Fan Ju said irritably:
"How to check? Xu Jianhou is suspected to have already taken possession of it, what can we really do?"

The Taoist disciples have always been proud and said unconvinced:
"So what about the Lord Qin Tianjian? We are the state religion. No matter what happens, we still have the support of the headmaster."

Fan Ju sighed and shook his head slightly.

The Taoist sect has been stable for too long, which inevitably leads to bureaucracy and breeds arrogance.

At the beginning of the year, Fan Ju really didn't care much about a prison prince, but now times have changed.

Xu Xiurong was already someone he wanted to look up to, but the arrogance of the largest sect in the minds of his disciples was still deeply ingrained.

Disciples offer words and suggestions:

"Since there were four Buddhist monks and only two corpses were left behind, the remaining two must have been taken away by Mr. Xu Jianhou. There were also many people there. Even if he was in the Heaven-Observing Realm, he couldn't take so many people away. Isn't it too far? And it's not necessary. Maybe the other party is still in Xu County. If Master doesn't investigate clearly and just rushes to send a letter to the headmaster, you may be displeased by the headmaster."

Fan Ju was startled and fell into deep thought.

There is some truth in this statement. Although I can't win over the person, I can at least negotiate with him, find out the whole story, and write it in a letter.

Otherwise, even if the headmaster doesn't care, the Taoist sect is so intertwined that he will inevitably be criticized by some fellow sect members who think he is "incompetent."

As he thought, he guessed a few places where Xu Xiurong might stay.

He immediately stood up, nodded and said:
"What you said makes sense. In this case, the letter will be postponed for a while. You guys will wait in the post station and try to search for me to see if you can find Mr. Xu Jianhou."

Although his disciple is arrogant, he has a saying that is right.

Behind them stood Xin Yaoguang, so Fan Ju was not afraid of Xu Xiurong harming him.

"On the contrary, the old man who took my flying sword yesterday... If he really surrendered to Qin Tianjian, I will just go and ask for an explanation!"

Fan Ju's eyes flickered, still remembering this incident.

Xu Xiurong couldn't afford to cause trouble on his own, but he could always bring trouble to him, right?You can't patrol by yourself. If the other party plays tricks on you for no reason, you will end up making a knife in vain.

……

In the garden.

Xin Yaoguang's sudden arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even Wei Qingqing and Jiang Chunqiu, who were resting next door, ran out to watch the big shot.

After the initial surprise, they all turned their attention to Ji Ping'an, their eyes full of question marks:
Is this what you shook it up too?

Ji Pingan shook his head helplessly, but he was not very surprised.

When he summoned Xu Xiurong, he was thinking about the possibility of Xin Yaoguang following the clues.

Thinking about it with your head, you can tell that Xin Yaoguang, as the strongest person in Yuhang City, with his divine cultivation level, could not even notice Ji Ping'an and Xu Xiurong's behavior of passing notes and whispering through "Jupiter".

But Xu Xiurong's sudden departure was impossible to be noticed.

From Xin Yaoguang's perspective, the summit is about to be held. Is there any reason for Xu Xiurong to secretly leave Yuhang?

Either it's related to the National Preceptor or the Supervisor.

It's always worth paying attention to.

Therefore, Xin Yaoguang did not alert the snake, but separated a Yang Shen and followed quietly.

In order to prevent Xu Xiurong from noticing, she followed far away and was unable to see the battle clearly.

But after arriving at Huanglong Tomb, I caught a familiar atmosphere.

So she pursued all the way and arrived here.

Although he was a little disappointed not to see the Imperial Master or the Supervisor, when he saw Ji Ping'an's smiling face last time, he still felt a sense of surprise that the trip was worthwhile.

"You are indeed in Yuezhou!"

Xin Yaoguang's voice was indifferent, illusory, and sounded like a sword fairy.

The difference between Bi Ge and Xu Xiurong is obvious.

However, the equally outstanding appearance and the faintly confrontational posture actually complement each other.

Ji Pingan, who was caught between the two women, felt helpless:

"Master, please come into the room and talk."

Xin Yaoguang glanced at Wei and Jiang, who were peeking at her, and said "yes" in a reserved voice.

Soon.

In the living room with the door closed again.

Xu Xiurong and Ji Ping'an were sitting on one side, and Xin Yaoguang was sitting alone on the other side. The illusory feather cloak covered the mahogany classical seat, giving a visual effect like wearing a model...

"If Headmaster Xin doesn't go all out to sit in Yuhang and prepare for the summit, why should he follow me? If it spreads, it will lose his identity."

Xu Xiurong put away her girlish demeanor, put on the airs of a prisoner, lightly dusted her official robe, her voice was cold and filled with hostility.

You're ready to make a career. Are you... so tough?Ji Ping'an looked at her in surprise.

Xu Xiurong suddenly puffed up her towering chest proudly. With her here, she would definitely protect her master.

Xin Yaoguang, who had a cold temperament, looked down from a high position and glanced at the female warden who was provoking him. His eyes paused slightly, and his waist straightened up a little without any trace. Then his face stopped blushing and his heart stopped beating, and he said calmly:

"I have received a call from Inspector Fan. What does it have to do with you and the others? Supervisor Xu has too much to worry about."

Fight back!
Of course she hasn't received Fan Ju's letter yet, but when Xin Yaoguang went to Huanglong Tomb just now, she noticed Fan Ju's aura.

So I simply told a lie. As for the dignified Taoist sect leader, he would definitely not wear the hat of a small eunuch following him.

True or false... Ji Ping'an was suspicious. Based on his understanding of Xin Yaoguang, he was probably lying.

But Xu Xiurong was choked. He wanted to question it, but without evidence, he could only remain silent.

The corners of Xin Yaoguang's mouth were slightly raised, like a victorious swan. She turned to look at Ji Ping'an, her eyes were complicated, and her slender eyebrows showed the meaning of scrutiny. After a moment, her red lips opened slightly:

"Why don't you explain?"

After a pause, she said slowly and thoughtfully:
"National teacher... my lord?"

……

Thanks to: Oudi’s father for his Nth [-]-reward support!
