Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

But Ji Xian didn't think too much about it, because he knew it was useless to think too much.

If you have any questions, just go in and take a look and you will know everything!

"Follow me, go in."

"Ah, are we going in just like that?"

"Yes, don't worry, follow me."

So Ji Xian led Jin Ren into the mansion.

The mansion originally had many servants and guards, but the numerous terrifying assassinations that had occurred in recent days had left them all in a state of panic. Furthermore, Jin Shun's capture by the Great Zhou Silver Dragon Guards this afternoon had further inflamed their unease.

The original defense force of Jin Mansion was like an iron barrel with three layers inside and three layers outside, but many of them ran away on the spot after Jin Shun was captured.

If one person escapes, a group of people will be affected.

By evening, there were only a few people left in the mansion.

Ji Xian and Jin Ren entered the Jin Mansion smoothly, and even encountered some people there. However, with Ji Xian's incredible perception, they were able to avoid them one by one, and even entered the inner courtyard smoothly without using any Qinggong or martial arts.

"Hero, have you opened your third eye?"

Jin Ren couldn't help but ask Ji Xian what this ability was. It felt as powerful as having super hearing and super vision. It seemed that nothing in the mansion could escape Ji Xian's control.

Ji Xian smiled, put on a very awesome expression, raised his thumb and said, "Brother is a legend, don't be obsessed with me."

"..."

Jin Ren was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. He couldn't remember that this was the first time he was speechless towards Ji Xian.

Although this hero is powerful, he seems to be a weirdo...

After spending a few days with Ji Xian, Jin Ren's fear of Ji Xian has faded a lot. Instead, he feels helpless and speechless towards Ji Xian, with a hint of contempt in his heart.

"Little Fatty, let me ask you, where is your father's yard?"

"Over there." Jin Ren pointed in a direction to Ji Xian: "Walk five meters, turn right, and walk straight for twenty meters and you will reach the old man's yard."

"lead the way."

Then, Jin Ren brought Ji Xian to the outside of Jin Shun's yard.

Ji Xian asked Jin Ren to stop at this time: "Stop."

"What's wrong, hero?"

"There's someone in the house."

"Someone, could it be that old guy my dad?"

"No, it sounds like he's rummaging through boxes, like a thief."

"There's a thief in my dad's house!?"

"Maybe. Why do you look so happy?"

Ji Xian relied on her perception to hear the movement in Jin Shun's room. There was someone in his room at the moment, and they were rummaging through the drawers and cabinets.

When the little fat boy heard that there was a thief in his father's room, he looked so excited that Ji Xian seriously suspected that it was his stepfather.

But Ji Xian didn't bother to pay attention and carefully analyzed the movements in Jin Shun's room.

But it didn't sound like a normal thief, because thieves usually steal money and property. The thief in this house was just rummaging around, but he didn't stuff anything on himself.

He was just rummaging around, as if he was looking for something special, with the determination to dig three feet underground to find it.

This aroused Ji Xian's curiosity.

Is there some treasure hidden in Jin Shun’s house?

So Ji Xian took Jin Ren quietly outside the house, poked a hole in the window paper, and observed the situation in the house.

The house was lit by an expensive spiritual lamp, making it look bright, so Ji Xian and Jin Ren could see clearly what was going on inside. They saw that the house was in a mess, as if it had been demolished.

There was only one person rummaging through the house.

He was quite tall and dressed in green finery, looking like a nobleman.

"Jin is defeated." Jin Ren recognized the other party and said it in a very low voice.

"you know?"

"He's my eldest brother, the heir of our Jin family." Jin Ren answered Ji Xian, then wondered to himself, "Strange, what is this guy looking for in the old man's house? He turned the room upside down like this."

At this time, the two heard some movement in the house and turned their eyes inside.

Jin Bai was rummaging through the closet when he suddenly seemed to find something. The next second, there was a click from the closet, followed by a buzzing sound from the wall behind it.

"There's actually a secret passage." Jin Bai was surprised, but immediately started celebrating: "Hahaha, Dad must have hidden something in here, hahaha, I finally found it!"

As he said that, Jin Bai couldn't wait to jump into the closet and enter the secret passage.

Outside the house, Ji Xian looked at Jin Ren and asked, "Did you know there's a secret passage like this in your house?"

"I don't know." Jin Ren stroked his chin and thought: "My father is really deep in Tibet. There is actually a secret passage in his room. Is there something hidden in it?"

"walk into."

Ji Xian said this and led Jin Ren into the house.

2.18 His Majesty the Emperor Stands Up for the Fatty [Happy New Year, with color insert]

At the Sky Fox Guard's headquarters, Jin Shun was being held in the interrogation room, having just finished a round of torture. However, he had no external injuries, so he hadn't been subjected to severe torture.

Despite this, Jin Shun now looks like he has lost all hope in life.

At first, they used threats and bribes to pry him out of the truth. Then, the interrogator threatened to revoke all his official positions and confiscate all his property, but Jin Shun still claimed his innocence.

Later, Su Luoxue stepped in and went straight into the interrogation room with a xylophone and played a song for him.

Although the music was beautiful, the spiritual energy in the melody penetrated Jin Shun's internal organs and rushed straight into his mind. At that moment, Jin Shun felt as if he had been thrown into a cold ice cellar, being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, as if countless evil spirits were drilling into his body.

Jin Shun's psychological defenses completely collapsed at that moment.

Outside the interrogation room, several Sky Fox Guards were standing at the door. Although they were not affected by the zither's spiritual power, they could still hear Jin Shun's screams, which were worse than death.

“Aa ...

Just by hearing the screams, the Sky Fox Guards felt that Jin Shun was in great pain.

When the music stopped, they heard Jinshun's weak voice: "I...I confess, I confess everything, please...sir, please stop playing!"

In the room, Su Luoxue looked at him expressionlessly: "Tell me, what exactly did those killers target your Jin family for?"

“Too… too…” Jinshun’s tone was very weak, and his mind was also very dazed. It took him a long time to finish his words: “Too… too white… too white…”

"Taibaitu?"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Su Luoxue's calm face.

.....

At the same time, in the Jin Mansion.

There's a hidden door in Jinshun's wardrobe, and a passage leads directly underground. After walking down the passage for a minute, you'll find a secret room.

The door of the secret room was made of meteorite iron and was also enchanted with a magic array, requiring a key to unlock it. But Jin Bai actually took out the key from his pocket and opened the door!

In the secret room, there are many gold, silver, jewelry and some antiques, each of which is a priceless treasure.

But these are not worth mentioning in Jin Bai's eyes.

He went straight to the stone platform at the deepest part of the secret room and carefully picked up an ancient scroll on the platform.

After opening it and taking a look, Jin Bai excitedly raised his head and shouted, "Hahaha, ah hahaha, great, this is indeed the Taibai map that my father hid. With this, I can get the opportunity to become a sword immortal. I can finally be the best in the world, hahaha!"

However, just as Jin Bai was about to leave, as soon as he turned around, someone appeared behind him.

"Ah!"

Jin Bai was so frightened that he took a few steps back, pointing at the other person and shouting, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

But Ji Xian didn't answer, and kicked him in the abdomen. Jin Bai's eyes widened as he was kicked away, and the Taibai map in his hand also flew into the air and was caught by Ji Xian with one hand.

Ji Xian looked at the ancient scroll in her hand, then looked at Jin Bai who was lying on the ground: "I didn't expect that the most valuable treasure in this mansion would be this."

"You, you..." Jin Bai climbed up from the ground, holding his abdomen, pointing at Ji Xian and shouting frantically, "Give me back the Taibai Map!"

"Taibaitu, is that the name of this thing?"

Ji Xian raised the ancient scroll in her hand, tilted her head slightly, and looked like she was thinking and recalling something.

I seem to have heard of the name Taibaitu, but I don’t have much impression of it.

Taibaitu, I just seemed to hear this kid talking about the opportunity of becoming a sword immortal... Does this thing have anything to do with Ji Taibai?

The Taibai Map, this thing started circulating over two hundred years ago, and at first it was known to everyone in the martial arts world. But now, not many people still remember it.

Seven hundred years ago, the Yi Dynasty collapsed and the world was divided into eight countries, which was the most famous period of the Eight Kingdoms Rebellion.

That period was truly a time of chaos, even more horrific than the Daxuan rebellion thirty years earlier. Rivers of blood flowed, mountains of corpses formed, and countless people were displaced and homeless.

At that time, two people stood up.

Ji Yunhua, Ji Taibai.

The Ji brothers launched a local militia uprising. They became more and more courageous in the troubled times, and their power expanded step by step, eventually forming the ninth new country, the Zhou Kingdom.

The Zhou Kingdom swept across the eight kingdoms, unified the world, and eventually established the Great Zhou.

Ji Yunhua is known as the founding emperor, and Ji Xian is his direct descendant.

Ji Taibai is known as the founding poet and swordsman. With his sword, he is invincible in the world and is the best master of the human race in the past 3,500 years!

This Taibai map is related to the poet and swordsman Ji Taibai. According to legend, all the secrets and opportunities left by Ji Taibai are hidden in this map.

Of course, all of this is just speculation. There have been several versions of the Taibai Map's secret in the past, but no one knows what it is. And as time goes by, the legend has gradually faded, and few people still remember it.

Su Luoxue knew quite a lot about the Taibai Diagram, because her master Pang Yuanchu was an insider of the Taibai Diagram and one of the few people in the world who truly knew the secret of the Taibai Diagram.

But Ji Xian didn't know it very clearly, because he just overheard Su Luoxue and Pang Yuanchu talking about it and didn't take it to heart.

However, since the eldest son of the Jin family attaches so much importance to this picture, it seems that this picture is of great value.

"Is this a valuable treasure map? Could it be related to the Sword Immortal?"

This is what Ji Xian finally guessed.

At this time, Jin Ren also ran down with Jin Hui on his back, looking at Ji Xian breathlessly: "Huh, huh, hero, your movements are too fast, how come we are underground in the blink of an eye."

"Jinren!"

Jin Bai noticed Jin Ren and pointed at him and shouted.

"Hey, brother!" Jin Ren raised his hand towards Jin Bai and said mockingly, "Why are you lying on the ground? You look so dirty. Hurry up and get up."

Jin Bai didn't respond immediately, instead he looked back and forth between Ji Xian and Jin Ren. After a while, he seemed to have figured out what was going on, pointing at the two and cursing, "I know, all the assassins our Jin family encountered were hired by you, and you want to steal the Taibai Map too!"

"......"

Ji Xian was speechless. What a powerful logic.

"What is Taibaitu?"

Jin Ren looked confused, as if he didn't understand at all.

"Hmph, still trying to play dumb?" Jin Bai stood up, quite confident in his own judgment, as if he had seen through everything. "You're just trying to prove yourself by not accepting that I'm the heir, and not accepting your father's indifference towards you. Even if you get the Taibai Map, what good will it do? A loser will always be a loser. A useless piece of shit like you will never be able to turn things around in your lifetime!!"

"..."

Jin Ren fell silent, lowered his head deeply, and his expression became quite ugly.

Ji Xian looked at Jin Ren, and based on his previous attitude towards her family, she had guessed something.

Superiority and disparity will lead to estrangement and disagreement, which is very common in many martial arts sects and some large families.

With Jin Ren's talent and ability in cultivation, he was destined to be the least conspicuous one in the big family. Looking at his fat head and big ears, he must have been bullied by other children in the family in the past.

That's why he was driven to Changchuan City and mixed with the people from the branch family.

So when his father and brother were down and out, he was rather happy to mock them.

He likes to eat when he is in a bad mood, so he eats himself into this fat and big-eared appearance.

Although Ji Xian hadn't experienced these things, he was actually a very smart person. He had doubts about the above points before, and now after hearing what Jin Bai said and seeing Jin Ren's attitude, he came to this final conclusion.
