Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

The room fell into silence, except for the screams of the Crown Princess in the Divine Tribulation, there was no sound.

Shi Xuanji frowned slightly: "Since you helped me just now, why are you unwilling to show up now? What on earth do you want to do?"

After another brief silence, a woman's chuckle suddenly sounded in the room: "How can Miss Xuanji be so sure that I was helping you just now, instead of trying to kill you and then pretend to be the Crown Princess?"

Following the chuckle, a graceful figure appeared on the chair next to the table. It turned out to be another "Crown Princess".

For a moment, the two "Crown Princesses" looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Shi Xuanji frowned slightly: "Why don't you find it strange that Your Excellency doesn't show his true identity and always pretends to be the Crown Princess?"

"What's so strange? Don't you also look like a princess?"

Zhao Mu teased and deliberately picked up the teapot on the table with his "slender jade fingers" and poured himself a cup of tea.

Shi Xuanji frowned even more tightly.

She was very sure that under the "princess" appearance of the other party, he must be a man, because the other party's movements of squeezing the teapot were so awkward.

It's a bit chilling for a grown man to do this kind of thing.

"Who are you, and why did you help me deal with those people just now?" Shi Xuanji asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Mu smiled, and his whole body suddenly turned into an old man again in a burst of faint fluorescence.

"Why, Miss Xuanji, you haven't recognized her since we haven't seen each other for a few days?" Zhao Mu said with a smile.

"Is it you?"

Shi Xuanji's face was full of surprise, and she immediately recognized the person in front of her. It was the old man who saved her in the alley that night when Daohu was killed.

The next day, she went to the alley to check, but found that there was a family of three living in the yard behind the door, and there was no old man.

So at that time, she suspected that her experience of being rescued by the old man was probably forcibly added to her memory because of the out-of-control Yuhua Immortal Vein.

But now it seems that everything I experienced that night was all true.

I was indeed saved!

"Thank you for saving me that night."

Shi Xuanji bowed her hands and said, "But this appearance is not your real appearance, right? Could you please show your true self?"

Zhao Mu smiled and shook his head: "One day, I will let you see me, but not today, because I don't want some people around you to know that I have met you."

"Who is this person you are talking about?" Shi Xuanji was confused.

"Your master."

"What?"

"I'm talking about your master."

Zhao Mu looked playful: "Why, with your cautious and suspicious character, have you never doubted that your master actually has malicious intentions towards you?"

"presumptuous!"

Shi Xuanji's face turned cold: "Although you have helped me twice, it does not mean that you can slander my master at will."

"My master is so kind to me. Without his guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Even without the master, I would have died because of the Feathered Immortal Veins."

"So you'd better keep your mouth shut. If you dare to let me hear you slandering my teacher again, I will kill you!"

"Oh?" Zhao Mu smiled half-heartedly: "It's a pity. With your strength, I'm afraid you can't kill me."

"Then give it a try!" Shi Xuanji's eyes were cold, and she was mobilizing all her magic power to attack Zhao Mu.

But before she could actually take action, a terrifying pressure suddenly came down, directly pressing her to the spot, unable to move even a step.

"So strong!"

Shi Xuanji changed her color in shock and stared at Zhao Mu in shock.

The terrifying pressure that fell on her made her suddenly realize that the strength of the person in front of her was definitely far greater than hers.

She even vaguely felt an aura on the person in front of her that was no weaker than her own master.

"Master, the Holy Emperor, is one of the few masters in the world today. If the person in front of me is really not weaker than master, he must also be a master, but which one of them will he be?"

Shi Xuanji looked at Zhao Mu solemnly.

"Why didn't Miss Xuanji take action? Tsk tsk, it seems that the girl is not strong enough to kill me, so just stand there."

Zhao Mu smiled casually and said: "Your master did teach you and helped you transform the Feathered Immortal Vein so that you can live to this day."

"But you have really never thought about why the legendary Holy Emperor, who has always been idle in the clouds and wild cranes, came to accept you as his disciple?"

"The Holy Tree Longchang has taken a fancy to the Shi family's feathered immortal veins. Could it be possible that the Holy Prophet Emperor is approaching you for the same reason?"

Shi Xuanji immediately retorted: "Impossible. The Holy Tree Longchang wants to rob the Immortal Veins to improve his cultivation. But the master is already the master and one of the most powerful monks in the world. What's the use of the Immortal Veins?"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "So what if you are the master? In front of the human gods, you are just a bigger ant."

"Has he never thought about himself becoming a human being?"

"Your master said that if you can fully control the Feathered Immortal Veins, you will have the opportunity to become a human being in the future."

"Then why doesn't he peel off the Feathered Immortal Vein from your body and then refine it to achieve enlightenment for yourself?"

"Don't tell me that he has a deep affection for you as a master and a disciple. When you first met, there was no such thing as a master-disciple relationship."

"Has he never thought about snatching the Feathered Immortal Veins to prove himself?"

"Or has he been using you to cultivate your Immortal Veins all along, until one day in the future when your Immortal Veins mature, he will snatch them away?"

Zhao Mu's words made Shi Xuanji's face uncertain, and it was obvious that her inner suspicion had been aroused.

There was no way, Shi Xuanji was a suspicious person by nature, and she didn't doubt the Prophet Saint Emperor before, just because she was thinking about the relationship between master and disciple, and didn't think about it that way.

But now that layer of thin window paper was forcibly broken by Zhao Mu.

And the situation Zhao Mu described was based on human nature. If it happened to anyone, it would inevitably give rise to a trace of suspicion.

Although this trace of suspicion was not much, it was a seed. As long as it was given enough time and nutrients, it would naturally grow into a towering tree one day.

Zhao Mu, don't rush.

Shi Xuanji took a deep breath and shook her head firmly, saying, "Your Excellency, there is no need to sow discord."

"Although I don't know what hatred you have with the master that is worth you sowing discord in front of me."

"But the master has been very kind to me, and I will never doubt the master, so you don't have to waste your energy."

Zhao Mu smiled: "You can think of me as sowing discord, or even wait until you see the Prophet Saint Emperor next time, and you can tell him what I said today, it doesn't matter."

"Since I showed up today, I have considered all the situations clearly."

"Whether you tell him about my existence or not, I have a way to deal with it, but you have to think it through yourself."

"With the character of the Prophet Saint Emperor, once you tell him about my existence, he will most likely take action against you immediately and deprive you of your Yuhua Xianmai."

"Because he can probably guess who I am, and he knows that as long as I appear by your side, it means that he has lost control of you."

"A chess piece that is out of control is only safe if it is completely in your hand, do you understand?"
