Full-time Swordsman

After the war, Fengqu City was rebuilt inside and outside. There were ruins everywhere, and the majestic and tall city walls were also in ruins.

The guards and the people in the city were actively rebuilding their homes.

In the previous battle, if it weren't for the obstruction of the holy product barrier, Fengqu City would have been crushed to the ground by the demon cultivators.

And Lin Jichen couldn't help but understand the news from Nangong Yue and others.

This was a conspiracy by the Ghost Hall and other demon sects in Muxianzhou against the Qianlong royal family.

In order to prevent other sects from supporting too early, they triggered the beast tide to distract everyone's attention.

It also caused the players of Fengqu City to leave one after another. If it weren't for this reason, it is estimated that Qianlong could mobilize the players to defend collectively, and the losses would be much smaller.

What Lin Jichen was wondering was, how did the Ghost Hall trigger the beast tide?

And what deep hatred did the Ghost Hall have with Qianlong? So long ago, they began to plot against the Qianlong royal family.

Their pursuit of Ji Tongyin two years ago is an example.

Moreover, the Ghost Palace is a sect in Yuehuazhou, but it came to Muxianzhou from afar to cause trouble.

From this, it can be seen that the hatred between the two sects must have appeared a long time ago, and it must be the kind of hatred as deep as the sea, otherwise how could the Ghost Palace be so persistent.

"What kind of blood feud can make two sects so far apart fight endlessly?"

Lin Jichen muttered, and he suddenly remembered the forbidden maid mentioned by Luo Muxian in the Jinluan Hall just now.

Maybe this maid is the root of all hatred?

Even if not, this maid is probably related.

Thinking of this, Lin Jichen couldn't help but feel a little curious. He vaguely felt that the forbidden maid might be hiding a big secret.

"I'll go to the palace tomorrow to keep the appointment. Maybe I can ask Ji Tongyin."

Lin Jichen thought to himself. He didn't forget that he still had a very difficult task to do, which was to destroy the Ghost Palace.

The time limit for this task was only one year, and he didn't have much time left.

The next evening, a noble and luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the Harmony Pharmacy. A row of golden armored guards escorted it all the way, and no one could get close.

In front of the carriage, it was Eunuch Gao who drove it himself.

Such a scene made others wonder if the emperor had arrived?

However, no one got off the carriage. After the carriage stopped, Eunuch Gao got off the car and walked into the pharmacy.

Not long after, Lin Jichen came out with him.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Jichen was just politely seeing him off, he sat in the carriage at the respectful invitation of Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao then sat in front of the carriage again and drove away, leaving a group of stunned onlookers.

The carriage passed the entrance of the palace. Unlike the previous interrogation that Lin Jichen had to go through every time he wanted to enter the palace, this time, he entered the palace without any obstacles and swaggered into the palace.

The guards not only did not stop him, but also saluted and sent him off.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jichen couldn't help but sigh. The difference in treatment before and after was too big.

I remember that the last time I entered the palace, I had to hide in Ji Linglong's car and hide under her skirt to escape the search and sneak in.

Now I am completely blatant and have no obstacles.

This is the new emperor, the new ministers.

Now that Ji Hongyue is seriously injured and in seclusion, Ji Tongyin has shocked those restless princes with thundering means and completely grasped the imperial power.

Today, she personally asked Eunuch Gao to pick up Lin Jichen, so naturally no one dared to stop him.

It is estimated that even if Ji Tongyin summoned Lin Jichen to the palace every night, no one in the palace would dare to say anything.

Lin Jichen successfully arrived at the backyard of the palace, and the banquet was held in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

When he arrived, Ji Tongyin had been waiting for a long time.

Today, she was wearing a dragon robe, and her carefully dressed face was as beautiful as a fairy. The dragon robe she wore unconsciously exuded the aura of an emperor, which made people feel awe.

Seeing Lin Jichen coming, Ji Tongyin's originally stern face suddenly bloomed with a touching smile.

"Mr. Lin, you are here."

Lin Jichen walked to the pavilion, smiled and clasped his fists to Ji Tongyin, saying: "Sorry, I'm late."

"No, it's me... I came early." Ji Tongyin hurriedly changed her words. She seemed to have gotten used to calling herself "I".

Lin Jichen teased, "I should change my name now. I used to be Princess Tongyin, but now I have to call you His Majesty Tongyin."

Ji Tongyin shook her head and said seriously, "Mr. Lin, don't be so formal. Just call me Tongyin, don't call me His Majesty."

"Haha, just kidding, Tongyin, I won't be distant with you just because you became the emperor, and I won't be polite." Lin Jichen said with a laugh.

Ji Tongyin smiled and said, "That's great. Come sit down, I'll ask the imperial kitchen to serve the food."The two sat down opposite each other. Ji Tongyin pointed to the surrounding scenery and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, do you have any impression of this place?"

"Of course, this is your royal garden. I have been here." Lin Jichen replied.

Ji Tongyin nodded, with a bit of shyness in her tone, and said: "This is not only the royal garden, but also the place where you had your first date with Tongyin, so I held the dinner here."

Lin Jichen smiled embarrassedly and said: "I remember this too, but I was forced at that time, for fear that your father would see that I did not agree and detained me and tortured me..."

Ji Tongyin chuckled and said mischievously: "What about now? Mr. Lin is still forced to date Tongyin? Aren't you afraid that I will detain you?"

Lin Jichen said embarrassedly: "Of course I am not afraid, and I am no longer forced. This time I came voluntarily."

Ji Tongyin sent her eyes and was secretly happy.

The two began to chat.

Lin Jichen took this opportunity to curiously ask about the feud between Qianlong and the Ghost Palace.

But what he didn't expect was that Ji Tongyin didn't know anything.

"I found this strange a long time ago and asked my mother, but she didn't know about it. My father didn't say a word and seemed not to want to tell me, so I didn't ask again."

Lin Jichen continued to ask: "Have you checked the maid in the forbidden area that Luo Muxian mentioned yesterday?"

Ji Tongyin nodded and said: "I checked it. I went to the forbidden area myself. There was indeed a woman imprisoned in the deepest part, but the maid was locked up by a holy barrier formation, which isolated all sounds and images from the outside world. The people inside couldn't hear or see her, and only we outside could see her. I also looked at the formation. Without special secrets, it couldn't be opened at all, so I had to give up."

After hearing this, Lin Jichen felt that this maid must be very important, otherwise why would Ji Hongyue use a holy formation to imprison her.

This maid must be strange! To be able to make the strong man of the Yuhua realm pay so much attention and hide so deeply, there must be something fishy.
