Chapter 1528 Undercurrent Surges
Although, Lu Li knew that Jiang Ningxue had a deep affection for him.
With Jiang Ningxue's status, family background, appearance, temperament and talent, it is indeed the best choice for him.
However, compared with the number one sword in the world, Jiang Ningxue is not so important.
In his mind, how could a beautiful woman be more important than a future in martial arts?
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Ningxue seemed to be weighing and considering something, she was suddenly filled with anxiety, and the anger on her pretty face was even worse.
"Lu Li, what are you thinking? Could it be that you...you want me to agree to his rude terms?"
Jiang Ningxue originally thought that Lu Li would be as angry as her, and flatly rejected the condition.
But Lu Li's reaction seemed to be weighing the gains and losses, considering whether to agree or not.
This made Jiang Ningxue feel more grief, indignation and disappointment, and a layer of mist gradually appeared in her clear eyes.
Lu Li came back to his senses, glanced at her, and thought to himself: "The Burial Sword is the best sword in the world, and Ji Tianxing is neither a fool nor a lustful apprentice, how could he give the Burial Sword so easily? Could it be that he has some conspiracy, or does he not understand the value and significance of the Burial Sword at all?"
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked at Jiang Ningxue, and comforted him: "Xue'er, don't worry, there are still many doubts about this matter.
The black sword that Ji Tianxing took out, he claimed to be the Burial Sword, tell me, what kind of sword is that? "
Jiang Ningxue was stunned for a moment, but also thought of some possibility, so she answered truthfully: "The sword is three feet long and two inches wide, and it is completely black and cold, with a lifelike black dragon engraved on the hilt.
I checked it carefully with the sword in my hand. The sword has a soul and powerful fluctuations of divine power. It is definitely not ordinary. "
After hearing this, Lu Li frowned, "Is that sword intact? Is there a black dragon engraved on the hilt?"
"That's right." Jiang Ningxue nodded.
Lu Li's face suddenly changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Xue'er, you were tricked by Ji Tianxing, that's not the Heaven Burying Sword at all!
The real Burial Sword was severely damaged when the Sword God fell, and it was already broken and incomplete.
With Ji Tianxing's level of strength, it is impossible to restore the Zangtian Sword completely!
Moreover, there is no black dragon engraved on the hilt of the Burial Sword! "
Jiang Ningxue immediately trembled with anger, her complexion turned pale, and she was even more ashamed and angry.
"Damn Deng Tuzi, this despicable bastard! He actually used a fake sword to pretend to be the Burial Sword, and wanted to deceive me of my innocence?"
Lu Li waved his hand at her, persuading her, "Xue'er, you don't have to be so angry, it hasn't happened yet!"
Only then did Jiang Ningxue suppress her hatred and anger, frowned and asked, "If that wasn't the Burial Sword, why would Ji Tianxing lie to me with a fake sword?"
There was a cold light in Lu Li's eyes, and he said in a cold tone, "Obviously, Ji Tianxing has become suspicious and deliberately used a fake sword as the Burial Sword to test your reaction.
Judging from all the signs, that kid is not simple, he must know the value and significance of the Burial Sword, and has already doubted our motives. "
Jiang Ningxue showed a look of worry, and asked, "Then what should we do? Should I continue to approach him?"
Lu Li thought about it for a while, and then said calmly, "Of course you have to stay in Ning Shen Temple and continue to live next door to him. But you don't have to take the initiative to approach him, just let nature take its course.
Although he has become suspicious that we cannot get the Burial Sky Sword for the time being, I still have follow-up plans.
Taking this opportunity of pilgrimage, I want to drive a wedge between him and the Izumo Empire, and try my best to win him over to join the Qianxue Empire.
If this Lord's plan succeeds and he can be allowed to leave Fengshen Mountain, then his life and death will be up to him, and the Heaven Burying Sword must be in my pocket. "
After hearing his words, Jiang Ningxue understood what he meant.
On Fengshen Mountain, it is impossible for Lu Li to use force to snatch the Heaven Burying Sword.
Once Ji Tianxing leaves Fengshen Mountain, he doesn't have to hide it anymore, he can do whatever it takes!
Next, the two discussed some things and determined the next plan.
After half a quarter of an hour, Jiang Ningxue bid farewell to Lu Li and left the study.
...
Before I knew it, three days had passed.
For the past three days, Ji Tianxing has been practicing in the other courtyard of Ningshen Temple.
The situation was as he expected, Jiang Ningxue still lived in the room next to him, but she never came to him again.
Even when the two met by chance, Jiang Ningxue would turn around and leave with a cold expression, with anger still hanging between her brows.
This result did not surprise Ji Tianxing at all.
After all, Jiang Ningxue is a beautiful woman with extraordinary background and both talent and appearance.
She is not a scheming femme fatale, so of course she can't throw herself into her arms just for a sword.
A genius, of course, has the dignity and arrogance of a genius.
However, compared to the tranquility of the Temple of Ning, the palace where the geniuses of the Six Kingdoms lived was undercurrent and lively.
I don't know who released the news, and it spread among the geniuses of the Six Nations.
Now, everyone knows that Ji Tianxing has taken refuge in Lu Li, the prince of the Qianxue Empire, and lives in the Temple of Ning.
Lu Li was also a disciple of the gods, and he was highly regarded by the two guardians and several angels.
Every few years, Lu Li would go back to Fengshen Mountain to pay homage. He seemed to respect his teacher, and his attitude towards the God Lord was also very pious.
Geniuses from all over the world are talking about Ji Tianxing's appreciation and respect from Lu Li.
Even if this kid can't become a disciple in the future, he can still be cultivated by Lu Li, and he can thrive in Qianxue Empire.
The dozen or so geniuses of the Izumo Empire were quite angry and contemptuous of Ji Tianxing's defection to Lu Li.
In their view, Ji Tianxing was originally the first genius of the Izumo Empire, and it was shameful enough to destroy the pilgrimage ceremony before.
Now he joins the prince of the Qianxue Empire again. This is simply shameless, and it has completely embarrassed the Izumo Empire!
If they were not inconvenient to go to Ningshen Temple, they would have reprimanded Ji Tianxing face to face.
In addition to this news, some insiders said that Lu Li begged the Great Protector to give Ji Tianxing another chance.
Once the seven-day period is over, when Lu Li goes to the temple to worship, he will take Ji Tianxing with him.
As long as Ji Tianxing worships devoutly in the temple and sincerely repents, it is possible to dispel the anger of the Great Guardian.
At that time, if Lu Li spoke a few words to the Great Protector, maybe Ji Tianxing's punishment would be spared.
When the geniuses from all over the world heard the news, they were secretly criticizing, and they just waited for Lu Li to go to the temple to worship and see Lu Li and Ji Tianxing with their own eyes.
Soon, the seven-day deadline will come.
Today is the day for Lu Li to go to the temple to worship.
Early in the morning, the maids and guards in Ningshen Temple were all busy with their voices.
Geniuses from all over the world also rushed to the square outside the temple, waiting for Lu Li and Ji Tianxing to arrive.
