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

As for the increased risk of identity exposure due to attracting attention...

Haha, now you have been watched by several leaders of Tianji Pavilion. Are you still afraid of being noticed by these ordinary disciples?

So, a few days later, Ji Xian found Huo Li Zi again.

It was still in the training room, but this time Ji Xian brought a large number of pills, all of different kinds, completely unique. Bottles were placed in front of Huo Li Zi. If you didn't know, you would think she was here to sell pills.

Huo Li's expression didn't change much, but his eyelids kept twitching.

Then Ji Xian said calmly: "I have finished learning the Hundred Dan Sutra."

"You, you..." Huo Li Zi didn't say a complete sentence for a long time. After a while, he asked, "Have you ever learned the Dan cultivation method before?"

Ji Xian shook her head: "No."

"So, how did you do it?"

"Just read a few more books."

"Just within these few days?"

"Yes?"

"This is too fast!"

Huo Lion's worldview has been refreshed.

Ji Xian didn't care about him at all. She looked at Huo Lizi coldly. She was becoming less and less pretentious and even started to threaten him: "If you dare to ask me to read any books again, I will die with you."

Ji Xian's words seemed to be contempt or provocation, but in fact he was testing him.

He wanted to see what the Tianji Pavilion's attitude towards him was, whether he had been exposed, or how much he had been exposed.

Of course, Huo Li Zi didn't know Ji Xian's true identity, but when he heard Ji Xian say this, he was suddenly stunned, as if he was becoming more and more certain of something.

Huo Lizi didn't show these emotions on her face, but Ji Xian guessed it to some extent.

"Is he... is he really the Five Sacred Sons?"

"This guy, could he have guessed that I'm the Emperor of the Great Zhou?"

Both of them had their own ulterior motives, but in the end they both laughed.

Huo Lizi smiled and said, "Brother Ji, this sect master naturally does not intend to let you learn alchemy anymore. With your attainments and understanding, you can learn on your own with the classics in the library. However, if you want to change sects, I have to discuss it with the others in my pavilion."

"So much the better."

Ji Xian smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

Because Huo Lizi immediately took him to the Tianxing Town in the center of Tianji Pavilion and came to the outside of the Observatory.

Seeing this observatory, Ji Xian's eyelids began to twitch, her eyebrows began to tremble, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

What's going on, what's going on, what's going on?

"Master Huo Li Zi, why did you bring me here?"

Ji Xian pointed at the Observatory and asked Huo Li Zi in disbelief.

He had originally thought that this guy was taking him to the Qianzi Sect to discuss a change of sect with the sect leader, Tian Qianzi. But who could have imagined that this red-robed Taoist priest would actually bring him directly to the Stargazing Tower.

The Stargazing Tower, this is the residence of Lord Jiang Shang!

My goodness, a new disciple who has just joined the sect, no matter how extraordinary a genius he is, has to go to see the Pavilion Master Jiang Shanggong right away. This is outrageous!

Who is Jiang Shang Gong? Jiang Shang Gong is one of the most powerful men in the world today, with a reputation that has lasted for three thousand years. If he were in the Great Zhou Dynasty, his power and status would definitely be no less than Luoxue's father, Yin Longshuai, a supreme being!

Could it be that these guys really saw through my identity? Otherwise, why would they bring me directly to see Jiang Shanggong?

Ji Xian became more and more suspicious of this, but he couldn't show it.

Huo Lizi still smiled: "Nothing, I just want to introduce you to the Pavilion Master."

In fact, Huo Lizi felt that Ji Xian's identity as the Five Saints Emperor was almost certain. Since it had been confirmed, it would be better for the Pavilion Master to handle it personally, and he quickly pushed this hot potato away.

"Haha, hahaha, it's really my honor."

Ji Xian was laughing, but cursing in her heart.

Bullshit, do you think I will believe it?

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Ji Xian thought so and followed Huo Li Zi into the Observatory.

......

The Stargazing Tower looks like an ordinary little building from the outside, and it is the same when you go inside. If I had to say what makes it different, it would be that the things displayed inside are quite unique. There are many old objects from thousands of years ago, many ancient books and artifacts, and many seemingly ordinary daily objects, which give it a strong sense of life.

It gives people the feeling that this entire small building is where one person lives, and this person is quite old and nostalgic.

And in fact, this is indeed the case. This Observatory is actually the residence of Jiang Shanggong.

Go up to the second floor, the third floor, and all the way to the attic.

It was not until he reached the attic that Ji Xian saw something truly unique. The first thing he saw when he climbed up to the attic was a wall that was as crystal clear as a sea of ​​stars.

Star map array!

Ji Xian recognized this thing, but she didn't expect that it was actually the wall of the attic.

When Huo Lizi brought Ji Xian up to the attic, he immediately bowed towards the center of the attic and said, "Master, I've brought the person here."

Ji Xian followed Huo Li's gaze, and then saw an old man with white hair and white robes sitting cross-legged in the middle of the attic, as if he was in the center of the sea of ​​stars. The spiritual power emanating from his body was extremely thick and pure, like waves one after another. He looked like an old man in his twilight years, but the aura he exuded was completely different.

"Is this... Lord Jiang Shang?"

Ji Xian thought so in his heart, and at the same time he felt quite curious. After all, this was the second peerless Yang God who was not from the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had seen. The first one was Cheng Longjiu.

But he didn't dare to be careless, let alone unreasonable. He started acting again and saluted Jiang Shanggong: "Disciple Ji Xian, I greet the Pavilion Master."

At this time, Huo Lizi also bowed and withdrew: "Then Master, I will withdraw first."

After saying that, Huo Li Zi left the Observatory, leaving only Ji Xian and Jiang Shang Gong in the attic.

The spiritual power in Jiang Shanggong's body gradually converged. He had been closing his eyes to rest, but after hearing the voices of Huo Lizi and Ji Xian, he opened his eyes and looked forward.

When Jiang Shanggong saw Ji Xian for the first time, he was stunned.

Ji Xian was sensitive to all this and wanted to ask, but she resisted the urge to ask.

But Ji Xian's expression also spoke volumes, he was confused.

"Nothing." Jiang Shanggong replied to Ji Xian. His emotion was only fleeting, and his expression now looked calm. "I just think you look like someone I used to know."

3.42 His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Jiang Shang

Although the projection formed by the Tianxing magic combined with the star map array allows the caster to see the situation within the coverage area of ​​the star map array, the picture is actually somewhat blurry and there is no sound. Therefore, when Jiang Shanggong looked at the star map projection before, he did not see Ji Xian's appearance clearly.

And now, when Jiang Shanggong saw Ji Xian, his first reaction was to think of someone.

Eighteen years ago, Zhao Bai came to Tianji Pavilion.

Of course, this was his first reaction. Upon closer inspection, Jiang Shanggong felt that Ji Xian looked more like another person, not only in appearance, but also in temperament and aura. She could be said to be carved from the same mold as that person.

The immortal of poetry and swordsmanship, Ji Taibai.

The aura of someone who, facing an overwhelming enemy force, faced the siege of several Yang Gods, remained relaxed and at ease. The bravery and confidence that, with just one man and one sword, could sweep the world away.

In Jiang Shanggong's eyes, Ji Xian was not as arrogant, but very similar.

Ji Xian's current mood and aura seemed to be filled with confusion, curiosity, and bewilderment, but Jiang Shanggong did not see any timidity, tension, or awe in her.

This may sound a bit narcissistic, but it is what Jiang Shanggong really thinks.

No matter how powerful a genius he is, this is not the expression and aura that a new disciple should have when he sees me.

Jiang Shanggong had lived for three thousand years, making him the oldest person in the world. He had seen all sorts of ups and downs, and all sorts of people. So the moment he saw Ji Xian's expression, he felt that she wasn't a junior, but more like a peer.

However, Jiang Shang Gong didn't act like a senior or powerful person. He actually spoke to Ji Xian like a fellow Taoist: "Is your name Ji Xian?"

"Yes." Ji Xian said lightly.

"Same name as the emperor?"

"Seems to be."

"Is this a real name?"

"If it's a fake name, I'll kill you."

Ji Xian's tone was quite casual. He had originally wanted to conceal his true identity, pretending to be a young man in the martial arts world who was in awe of the Pavilion Master. But for some reason, the moment Ji Xian saw Jiang Shanggong's eyes, he felt as if he had seen through everything.

So, although Ji Xian still did not reveal her identity, she was too lazy to hide her tone and attitude anymore. She wanted to see what Jiang Shanggong was trying to do.

Jiang Shanggong then asked, "Which master did you belong to before?"

"How did Pavilion Master know that I had a master before?"

"Your skills are very profound and powerful."

"Has Pavilion Master seen it?"

"I have my own way."

After a few brief words, Ji Xian confirmed that her actions on the volcanic island were indeed noticed by the Tianji Pavilion, but she didn't know how much they had seen.

Ji Xian did not answer the question immediately. Before he could say anything, Jiang Shanggong asked again, "Young friend, do you have any treasures that can conceal the secrets of heaven?"

"Treasure?" Only at this moment did Ji Xian reveal a puzzled look, but after a moment, she seemed to come to her senses: "Oh, is this what Pavilion Master is talking about?"

Ji Xian took off the treasure that Gongshu Zhi had cast for him.

Lord Jiang Shang said nothing, but just extended his hand toward Ji Xian.

Ji Xian hesitated for two seconds, but still threw the treasure to Jiang Shanggong.

Jiang Shanggong took it with his left hand, then immediately calculated with his right hand, muttering something but making no sound. Ji Xian knew he was telling her fortune, but she didn't stop him, looking quite relaxed.

But after calculating for a moment, Jiang Shanggong looked surprised.

The treasure in his hand did have the effect of concealing the secrets of heaven, and Jiang Shanggong felt it.

But he still couldn't figure out Ji Xian's fate, as if it was covered up by someone.

Lord Jiang Shang looked at Ji Xian and asked, "Where did you get this treasure?"

"A gift from someone else."

"who?"

"A strange man." Ji Xian's expression seemed to be reminiscing, and she described the man's characteristics as best she could: "He was dressed in black, and his behavior was very strange. The strangest thing was that only half of his face was covered by a mask. I don't know what's wrong with him."

After hearing Ji Xian's description, Jiang Shanggong knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

King Qiu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one of the eighteen guardian gods of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most famous thief in the world, and a man of great talent.

Speaking of being a man with a round face, this man's story is truly legendary. He has robbed the three major sects of the Jianghu, the headquarters of the four major secret guards of the Great Zhou, all the major imperial tombs throughout history, and important towns in the four foreign lands. He has robbed every prominent chamber of commerce, sect, or organization in the Jianghu.

Moreover, he was able to succeed in every theft, no matter what lineup or means the enemy used. Even several Yang Gods could not catch him. His lightness skills were unique in the world and he was the best in the world.

The only one who could rival him in terms of lightness skills was his apprentice, Ji Xian's father, Ji Xingyu. Therefore, in terms of seniority, Ji Xian had to call Banmian Linglong "Grandmaster".

Banmian Linglong had been traveling around the world, living a happy life, and rarely stayed in Chang'an for long, so Ji Xian actually didn't see him very often.

When Lord Jiang Shang heard that Ji Xian's treasure had come from Banmian Linglong, he immediately asked, "Why did that person give you the treasure?"

"He said I was handsome."

"what?"

Ji Xian lied without blushing or breathing heavily, pretending that she didn't understand either: "He said I was handsome and that we got along well, so he gave me something, and he also taught me my martial arts."

"He is your master?"

"No, he said that teaching an apprentice was too tedious and one was enough. He only wanted to instruct me for a few days and let me learn the rest on my own."

Ji Xian responded very quickly and with ease.

This is of course because he had already expected such an occasion to occur, so he had already thought about what to say and what to do.

Of course, he couldn't tell Jiang Shanggong that he had asked Gongshu Zhi to forge the treasure, and even less could he say that his father had taught him the techniques of the Great Zhou Emperor. Therefore, he put all the blame on his master, Banmian Linglong.

Banmian Linglong is a well-known weirdo in the world. He has done all kinds of strange things. Therefore, if these things sound strange and outrageous, other people would definitely not believe it, but if it happens to Banmian Linglong, then... it is really possible.
