Ji Yunxi's explanation made Gu An feel a lot better. It turned out that it wasn't because he wasn't strong enough. That was good.
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and the guests. After a short rest, Gu An led them to the guest rooms.
On the way, Feng Xingzhi whispered to Ji Yunxi, "Xixi, how long are we going to stay here?"
"What's wrong?" Ji Yunxi was a bit curious. He usually just followed her arrangements. This time, he actually asked about when they were going back?
Feng Xingzhi said, "We've already got the winter rose. We should go back as soon as possible and then get ready to look for the next medicinal herb. I don't want to drag this on."
There was worry in his eyes. Thinking about Jiang Yaoji having divine power, he felt even more uneasy.
"Now that Jiang Yaoji also has divine power, if she keeps pestering us like this, we're still in great danger. It's better to get rid of the problem on you first so that we can fight against her."
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi remembered the thing she had been worried about. She had been too happy to see Gu An before. Now thinking about it, getting the antidote was really urgent.
"I see. But we're all very tired. How about we rest here tonight and leave tomorrow after saying goodbye."
Ji Yunxi told the others the news that they were leaving tomorrow. Seeing that they had no objections, she went back to her room to rest.
On the other side, after leaving Guangwu Mountain, Jiang Yaoji didn't go back to the Jiang family or the branch of the Moon - watching Pavilion directly. She followed the white - clothed man all the way and was led by him to the upper realm.
She felt a bit nervous. She was not sure if she would be exposed for using divine power rashly.
Looking at the white - clothed man walking in front of her, she asked in a low voice, "Yue Wu, do you know what the upper god wants me for?"
Yue Wu still looked cold and his voice was flat, "I don't know either. I'm only responsible for the message delivery."
Hearing this, Jiang Yaoji could only thank him softly. She stopped asking and just quietly followed him.
Soon, she came to the entrance of a grand hall. There were several guards standing in front of the magnificent hall gate. They stared intently and fiercely guarded the gate of the Palace of Moonlight.
Seeing Yue Wu bringing a woman, they immediately blocked them.
"Who are you?"
Yue Wu slowly took out a token from his bosom. The guards then withdrew their imposing manner expressionlessly.
"Don't be nervous." Yue Wu rarely gave Jiang Yaoji a tip and then fell silent again.
Hearing his voice, Jiang Yaoji quickly pretended to be extremely respectful, "Yes."
All the way to the main hall, a man wearing a silver mask was sitting high on the throne. Jiang Yaoji secretly glanced up and felt puzzled.
It was said that this man had good looks, but since she had contact with him, he always covered his face. No one knew what he really looked like.
If he really had a breathtaking appearance, why did he cover it with a mask?
When the man saw Jiang Yaoji come in, he waved his hand for Yue Wu to retreat. After everyone left, he asked, "How's it going?"
Jiang Yaoji sneered in her heart. You sent someone to call me here. Don't you know what happened?
But she would never dare to say this. She could only lower her head and say submissively, "Reporting to the upper god, Ji Yunxi used divine power to break the situation."
The man said casually, "I've already sensed that she used divine power, so I immediately called you back. We don't need to make unnecessary sacrifices."
Jiang Yaoji thought it was strange. He actually knew to hold back?
"I haven't fully recovered yet. So if Ji Yunxi can use divine power, we'll wait. We'll completely get rid of her after the God - slaying Blade appears."
The man's eyes were a bit gloomy, as if he was disappointed that he couldn't get rid of Ji Yunxi immediately.
Jiang Yaoji immediately felt relieved and secretly rejoiced that she hadn't been exposed for using divine power. Otherwise, according to this man's character, she didn't know what the consequence would be.
After all, this man was self - willed and couldn't tolerate any mistakes.
Jiang Yaoji kept her head down and stood there. If the man didn't allow her to leave, she had to stand there all the time.
Suddenly, the man asked, "Besides Ji Yunxi, do you have any news about other upper gods from the Cloud - rising Palace?"
Jiang Yaoji shook her head, "Reporting to the upper god, there's no news for the time being. But I guess... the others from the Cloud - rising Palace have contacted Ji Yunxi, because I found that another part of her spiritual power was sealed."
"Sealed?"
"Yes. Every time I confronted her during this period, she just stood aside and didn't make a move." Jiang Yaoji recalled as she spoke, "And last time, Ji Yuyan's death was also strange. After all, she was given the Weak - water Sword and you even lent her some spiritual power. With Ji Yunxi's and others' abilities, they shouldn't have been able to defeat her."
The man thought for a while and also realized that there were many problems in this, "Have you found out the relationship between Feng Xingzhi and the Wind - clear Palace?"
Jiang Yaoji didn't expect him to suddenly mention Feng Xingzhi. She was shocked but pretended to be calm on the surface, "I haven't found out any relationship between Feng Xingzhi and the Wind - clear Palace for the time being."
She pretended to be calm. The man squinted at her for a long time. Knowing that she had some special feelings for Feng Xingzhi, he sneered in his heart, "Keep investigating. Get out."
Jiang Yaoji didn't want to stay there for a moment. She quickly turned around and left. She let out a sigh of relief until she left the Palace of Moonlight. She looked back. The fear in her eyes disappeared, leaving only coldness.
She cooperated with this man just to kill Ji Yunxi with his help, but he mustn't hurt Feng Xingzhi.
Actually, Jiang Yaoji knew very well that Feng Xingzhi was the one who had established the Cloud - rising Palace back then, but this man would never know this secret.
After leaving the upper realm, Jiang Yaoji learned that Ji Yunxi and the others had gone to the Valley of Lyre and Zither.
Jiang Yin asked, "My lady, shall we chase after them?"
Thinking about the relationship between the Valley of Lyre and Zither and Ji Yunxi, Jiang Yaoji sneered, "She really has friends everywhere. She's always looking for help."
Jiang Yin didn't know about Ji Yunxi's past lives. He was just curious, "My lady, why do all these people help her? If it was just the Dream - China Pavilion, it would be okay. But why are the Bamboo - meaning Tower and the Valley of Lyre and Zither also related to her?"
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Is Xingzhi also with her?" Jiang Yaoji didn't want to explain. Instead, she asked about Feng Xingzhi's whereabouts.
"Yes."
"Let's go. Let's go and have a look." Jiang Yaoji gritted her teeth and was determined to make Feng Xingzhi come to her side as soon as possible. Thinking about the man in the Palace of Moonlight, she was a bit worried. It seemed that Ji Yunxi's ability could no longer protect him.
On the other side, just as dawn was breaking, Ji Yunxi led the others to say goodbye to Gu An.
"We have to go back to Kunlun. There are some urgent matters to take care of."
Gu An thought she would stay for a longer time. He quickly asked, "Why don't you stay for a while longer?"
"That matter is a bit urgent. I can't wait. I'm at Kunlun Mountain now. If you have anything, come to Kunlun Mountain to find me."
Knowing that he couldn't stop them, Gu An had no choice but to agree. Then he sent them out of the valley.
