Ji Changsheng had always held his nerve.
But hearing Li Changxi talk about how formidable South Pole's Emperor Changsheng was, Ji Changsheng began to panic a little.
Great Emperor Changsheng, it's always been Li Changxi putting words into my mouth. I've never intended to pique you.
I have nothing but respect for you inside!
After offering his prayers, Ji Changsheng went to see the Discipline Hall's Enforcement Elder.
An ally.
They had gelled well in the past, successful in their ploy against Bai Guanlin.
Ji Changsheng had always been courteous to his own kind.
He was already quite a well-behaved boy.
"Greetings, Elder. You shine even brighter in the evening than you do during the day."
The Law Enforcement Elder was helpless.
He can act pious in front of others.
But in front of Ji Changsheng, pretending to be righteous was nothing more than playing the foolish clown.
After all, the way he and Ji Changsheng tactically orchestrated things during the day, it was clearly like two sly old foxes simultaneously framing up an innocent fledgling.
Everyone knows everybody all too well.
But the act must go on.
This is the world of adults.
"Stop messing around," the Law Enforcement Elder glared at Ji Changsheng, his tone a mixture of surprise and anger. "Look at the mess you've made!"
Ji Changsheng looked completely innocent. "I don't understand what the elder is talking about?"
The Law Enforcement Elder: "....Indeed, your resolve in cultivation is strong. I am impressed."
Despite the mess he's caused, he seems nonchalant and unflappable.
Honestly, the Law Enforcement Elder was deeply impressed.
Because he was feeling rather panicked now.
As someone from the Master's side, leaning towards Ji Changsheng during his minor conflict with Bai Guanlin wasn't a big deal.
After all, it wouldn't cause too much harm to Bai Guanlin.
With his status in the Mystic Temple, the Bai family wouldn't trouble him over such a trivial matter.
But now, Ji Changsheng had taken it much too far.
Daring to kill a fellow disciple.
Even more so, he tried to assassinate Bai Guanlin.
This is unheard of... No, wait, he had experienced it once before…
It was done by Li Changxi…
The problem is, Li Changxi is mad, how can Ji Changsheng be contaminated so quickly?
Moreover, Li Changxi's murder had its reasons, and even Fairy Linglong found it hard to chastise her. Coupled with the Li family's protection, and the fact that Li Changxi had made a breakthrough on the spot, she landed safe and sound.
But Ji Changsheng… has absolutely no backing.
How could he dare?
The Law Enforcement Elder could not understand.
He also didn't want to waste much time talking to Ji Changsheng, mainly because it wouldn't help now anyway.
After all, Ji Changsheng had already done it.
"Let's go, the Master and the people from the Bai family are waiting for you."
The Law Enforcement Elder shook his head.
If he could, he would like to protect Ji Changsheng. He could tell that the way this man conducted himself was not ordinary.
But the Law Enforcement Elder knew, what Ji Changsheng had done was touch the sky. Such a serious offense.
He no longer had the right to judge.
He would have to see if the Master would protect Ji Changsheng before he could determine if Ji Changsheng could survive.
Even if the Master tried to protect Ji Changsheng, he might not necessarily be able to do so.
After all, Ji Changsheng had sought to kill none other than Fairy Linglong's son.
The Law Enforcement Elder had a bad feeling about this. In his heart, he could only put it down to Ji Changsheng's youthful recklessness.
Ji Changsheng followed the Law Enforcement Elder, seemingly unconcerned.
Li Changxi also quickly followed.
The Law Enforcement Elder frowned, "Changxi, the Master wants you to stay in the Moon Palace."
Li Changxi casually waved her sleeves, disinterested. "With the situation as it is, there's no need to bother about these minor issues. If the Bai family wants to frame my junior disciple, there's no way I'm standing idly by."
The Law Enforcement Elder stumbled, almost falling over.
"Framing Ji Changsheng... You two really are birds of a feather." The Law Enforcement Elder muttered cryptically.
What place is the Mystic Temple?
The number one immortal sect in this world.
The truth in the Mystic Temple has always been easy to uncover.
What's difficult to uncover, are matters of the heart and the stance someone takes.
Li Changxi held her head up high, displaying her slender swan neck in agreement with the Law Enforcement Elder's words. "You have good taste. I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who is on par with me except for my junior apprentice. That guy never knew his limits. What does he count for? Even to dare think about me. Even Hao Tian did not dare to marry me, it was a blessing from his previous life for him to be able to die by my hands."
What could the Law Enforcement Elder say?
"You're delusional, but it sets you apart".
But the problem arises now.
"If even Hao Tian isn't good enough for you, how is Ji Changsheng?" asked the Law Enforcement Elder.
Li Changxi answered as if it was a matter of course: "Nonsense, Hao Tian is nothing more than a puppet child. Everyone knows he's not capable of anything, only becoming the Heavenly Emperor Supreme Unity by holding on to someone's coattails. My junior disciple is the Heavenly Emperor who killed his way through the War of Sealing the Gods. Can a Heavenly Emperor, who relied on coattails, be compared to the Emperor Supreme Unity, who made his own way?"
The Law Enforcement Elder could only give Li Changxi a thumbs-up and sarcastically add, "Changxi, your worldview is becoming more and more sound."
Li Changxi sneered, "A summer insect cannot speak of ice. I reveal the divine secrets to you, but you don't appreciate it. You're beyond redemption."
The Law Enforcement Elder no longer engaged with Li Changxi but looked at Ji Changsheng, giving a reminder, "She can get away with playing the fool, but it won't be so easy for you later, you better not do anything reckless."
Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Elder, you're worrying too much. My senior apprentice sister believes in sincerity, and so do I."
Enforcement Elder: "...."
Yes indeed, insanity turns out to be contagious.
This child is lost to it at such a tender age.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
On the main peak, in the grand hall.
The Master sat on the upper seat, and seven of the eight seats to his left and right were already occupied.
