Chapter 237

And just as Xie Zhi was shocked,

a faint laugh suddenly came from beyond the sky: "I didn't expect Jiang to have such a high evaluation in the Director’s eyes; it is truly an honor."

Hearing this,

Xie Zhi’s eyes widened, and he looked outside in disbelief.

With his strength at the peak of the first level of the Land Immortal Realm, he couldn't sense the other party’s existence at all!

Immediately after,

under Xie Zhi’s horrified gaze,

Li Li Hanyi, wearing a grey veil and dressed in white, appeared in the Star Moon Pavilion,

and beside her was a handsome youth with a gentle smile on his face.

Xie Zhi could be certain,

that he absolutely hadn't sensed the aura of this youth at all just now.

However,

at this moment, the other party had appeared in the Bureau of Astrology with Li Li Hanyi, so there was only one possibility: the other party’s strength far exceeded his own, which was why he, an expert who had reached the Land Immortal realm, couldn't sense the other party’s existence at all.

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang."

And seeing Jiang Chen and Li Li Hanyi,

Qi Qi Tianchen hurriedly stood up and bowed to Jiang Chen, then looked at Li Li Hanyi and sighed:

"I previously thought the Spear Immortal would become the third Divine Wander Realm expert of Snow Moon City, but I didn't expect the Snow Moon Sword Immortal to have broken through a step earlier. It is truly a joyous occasion."

"Is the Director speaking from the heart?"

Jiang Chen looked at the other party with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Aren't you worried that our Snow Moon City is too powerful and will one day threaten the status of Heavenly Revelation City?"

"That..."

Qi Qi Tianchen laughed awkwardly: "Young Master Jiang is young and has already reached such a realm, how could he be tempted by things in the mortal world."

If it were just a moment ago,

as the Director of the Bureau of Astrology of the Northern Li Dynasty,

and also known as one of the two protective experts beside Emperor Mingde along with the Great Eunuch Jin Xuan,

Qi Qi Tianchen would definitely have considered how to help Heavenly Revelation City break the situation if Snow Moon City’s momentum surpassed Heavenly Revelation City’s.

However, just now,

when he discovered that even Xie Zhi hadn't discovered Jiang Chen’s arrival, he dared not think that way anymore.

Because he knew,

if even Heavenly Revelation City’s number one expert Xie Zhi couldn't do anything to Jiang Chen, and if Jiang Chen were willing, he could suppress the other party at any time,

then even if he were the Director of the Bureau of Astrology,

possessing the ability to observe celestial phenomena and calculate the affairs of the world, it would be useless!

Just like the former Mount Mount Qingcheng sect leader Lü Lu Suzhen, whose cultivation had already reached the Human Immortal realm,

who had clearly calculated that Zhao Zhao Yuzhen would have a life-or-death crisis in his life, yet he still had no way to change it, and although he later tried to change Zhao Zhao Yuzhen’s fate, he ended up dying under the thunder punishment.

In Qi Qi Tianchen’s view,

what he needed to do now was to try his best to maintain the relationship between Heavenly Revelation City and Snow Moon City.

As for later, if some short-sighted person in the Xiao imperial clan offended Snow Moon City, or even directly offended Jiang Chen, then it could only be said that everything was fate.

"Director, don't be nervous."

Seeing Qi Qi Tianchen’s somewhat unnatural expression, Jiang Chen smiled gently:

"We in Snow Moon City are indeed not interested in court affairs, however... the Second City Master of Snow Moon City, Li Li Hanyi, is now my master, so if anything happens in the future, I also hope the Director can understand."

Jiang Chen didn't say it explicitly,

but he believed Qi Qi Tianchen could certainly understand the meaning behind his words.

That was, although they in Snow Moon City stood on the side of the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe, this was not to help the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe contend for the throne, but because of the Prince Langya Prince treason case back then.

As for why he chose the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe instead of the White Prince or the Red Prince, it was naturally because only Xiao Chuhe was the most suitable.

And hearing Jiang Chen’s words,

Qi Qi Tianchen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He naturally heard the meaning Jiang Chen wanted to express.

Snow Moon City had no interest in who sat in that position, but regarding the Li Li Xinyue incident back then, the Xiao imperial clan had to give an explanation!

Although this would ultimately make the Xiao imperial clan lose some face, and likely even result in many deaths, at least it was generally within a controllable range.

What’s more,

regarding the events of that year, he also felt sorry for both the Prince Langya Prince and Li Li Xinyue.

It was just that,

Qi Qi Tianchen also didn't feel Emperor Mingde had done anything wrong,

because the prestige of the Prince Langya Prince Xiao Ji Ruofeng at that time was simply too high.

If it were just high prestige, it wouldn't be much, but the Prince Langya Prince Xiao Ji Ruofeng was also the Great Protector of Northern Li, and he commanded the three armies!

Looking at it this way,

something big would happen sooner or later!

Because even if the Prince Langya Prince never had such intentions, the people below him wouldn't think so!

Being in the imperial court,

no one didn't want to advance further.

If the Prince Langya Prince could sit in that position, then these people would inevitably be able to advance further.

And in fact, that was indeed the case.

The Prince Langya Prince treason case back then was indeed pushed by someone behind the scenes.

It was just that these people didn't expect that the Prince Langya Prince would choose to commit suicide on the execution ground to maintain the stability of the Northern Li Dynasty.

And...

could this matter really be blamed on the Prince Langya Prince?

Clearly not.

Because both the Great Protector of Northern Li and the command of the three armies were granted by Emperor Mingde back then to thank the Prince Langya Prince for yielding the supreme position to him.

So,

it could only be said that the reason things developed into the current situation was just because the seeds had been planted many years ago.

Thinking of this, Qi Qi Tianchen said softly:

"Young Master Jiang being able to think this way, it was the old Daoist who measured the gentleman’s heart with a villain’s measure."

Jiang Chen heard this,

and just smiled casually, not intending to say anything more on this matter.

If it weren't for the fact that Qi Qi Tianchen was Ye Ye Ruoyi’s master and had protected her heart pulse when she was born, Jiang Chen wouldn't have said so much to him.

In general,

Qi Qi Tianchen was a pretty good person.

Of course,

if after today,

Qi Qi Tianchen still blocked Li Li Hanyi from avenging Li Li Xinyue, then he couldn't blame Jiang Chen.

Subsequently,

Jiang Chen smiled and cast his gaze on Xie Zhi.

From the moment he walked into the Star Moon Pavilion until now, although the other party hadn't spoken, his attention had almost never left him.

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang."

Xie Zhi saw Jiang Chen looking at him and immediately showed a respectful expression:

"I previously thought the National Teacher was exaggerating, but now it seems that for you to have strength far exceeding Xie’s at such an age, I feel the National Teacher was even being modest."

"Just a bit of good luck."

Jiang Chen smiled gently: "On the contrary, Senior, I have heard quite a bit about you from the Third City Master, especially that the immortal Mo Yi on Penglai Immortal Island was able to break through to the Divine Wander Realm thanks to your guidance."
