Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

Chapter 872 Pretending

Guan Shanhai's voice spread throughout the imperial city, from the princes and ministers to the common people. After hearing this name, everyone was shocked.

Even children who are literate in private schools have heard of the name "Meng Junzi".

The ancestor of the Meng family once competed with the Jiang family for the existence of the world. Although the Jiang family won in the end and established Daxia, the Meng family was not like the losers in previous dynasty competitions and was wiped out. It was even the opposite. At the height of their power, they became the number one family in Daxia.

There is certainly a reason why the ancestors of the Jiang family miss their old friendship, but more importantly, the Meng family has a very deep heritage.

The Meng family originated during the Yu Dynasty, but at that time, the Meng family was just an ordinary family. The person who really led the Meng family to grow and prosper and accumulate rich heritage was Meng Junzi, who became the head of the family at the end of the Yu period.

"Fellow Daoist Guan, it's not good to be so violent." Meng Junzi stood with his hands behind his hands, exuding a calm and upright aura, which dispersed the immortal pressure that enveloped the imperial city.

"You have really become an immortal!" If Guan Shanhai was still doubtful before, now Meng Junzi is convinced that he is also an immortal like himself.

The appearance of Meng Junzi shocked everyone, including Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou looked longingly at the ancestor standing above his head, his mouth wide open in surprise.

 No, it turns out that ancestor, you have become an immortal.

Mangu was also quite surprised. He had only been in the imperial city for an hour and met two immortals. He knew that he would get to know Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Junzi only showed up at the beginning of the founding of Daxia, and has never been missed since then. People said that he was discouraged after losing to Jiang Ping'an and sealed himself in dust.

 Guan Shanhai also thinks so. Jiang Ping'an and Meng Junzi, the two future geniuses, are too dazzling for him to pay attention to. Otherwise, he would not send students to teach in the Meng Mansion private school as the dean of Taitai Academy.

 At the beginning, he saw with his own eyes that Meng Junzi proclaimed himself and asked future generations to bury him in Mengfu Mountain.

Looking at it now, I'm afraid that I was acting for him in the beginning.

Why should a sage call himself a sage?

 Guan Shanhai stared at Meng Junzi, recalling when exactly Meng Junzi became an immortal under his eyes and where the fate of his immortality was.

 Suddenly he realized that Meng Junzi had become an immortal a hundred thousand years ago.

“Wu Yao and I became immortals at the same time during the founding ceremony of the country. You and Jiang Pingan also became immortals in the final battle!”

"I can't believe that for a hundred thousand years, I haven't used the power of Dao Fruit. I have been pretending to be a half-immortal. It's really tolerable. Mr. Meng, I really underestimate you!"

Meng Junzi smiled slightly: "When fishing, you have to be patient. Do you think there will be something harvested today?"

Guan Shanhai has always been cautious in doing things. If he can avoid fighting, he avoids fighting. There are winners and losers in battles. As long as he doesn't fight, he will always be invincible. That's why he sent Jiang Pingan away. If he knew that Meng Junzi would also become Immortal will never appear in the Imperial City.

Guan Shanhai seemed to have not heard Meng Junzi's provocation and sneered: "When I ordered General Yu to intercept Xiantao, you didn't even come forward. You just watched Emperor Xia's funeral. You are really ruthless."

These are heart-breaking words. Guan Shanhai deliberately mentioned this matter so that everyone in the Imperial City could hear it clearly. He wanted to tell the people of Daxia that your so-called emperor was just someone introduced by the immortals for calculation and manipulation. It's nothing more than a tool. This is something that is enough to shake the emperor's status in the hearts of the people!

Meng Junzi was not anxious at all when he heard this. He still looked like he was in a leisurely manner: "How are you sure that Emperor Xia is really dead?"

“Or, does Emperor Xia really have a problem that his life is about to end?”

 …

"What does acting mean? Emperor Xia has not died of old age. Is it still too late to send Xiantao there now?"

The Immortal Fairy was still not quite awake, and continued to yawn with sleepy eyes: "Immortal peach? Didn't Girl Yun say that she only found one? The spiritual roots of heaven and earth went to who knows where. You eat this good thing, Xiaoyangzi. Well, Emperor Xia’s depletion of longevity is just an act.”

 “Pretending?”

Lu Yang was shocked. He thought that the "acting" mentioned by the Immortal Fairy was referring to Emperor Xia's funeral. But from what this meant, even the problems with Emperor Xia's longevity were just an act?

Hearing the raised tone of the Second Master, the Immortal Fairy was finally sober, and then said: "If he is going to die soon, why would I let him be the prime minister?"

“Did Fairy You know from the beginning that Emperor Xia’s longevity was fake?”

"Not at the beginning, but during the three months when I was the acting sect leader, when I was preparing to hold the 120,000th anniversary celebration of the Taoist Sect, didn't I go to the palace to meet Emperor Xia? Only then did I know He's pretending."

 “Isn’t that the first time we met!”

This is something that even Yunzhi did not expect. Emperor Xia's disguise could hide it from Lu Yang, the people of the world, and the mountains and seas, but it could not hide it from the immortal fairy who possesses the immortal Taoist fruit and controls the power of life and death.

 Lu Yang remembered something.

First, the elder sister told him and the fairy that Emperor Xia was about to die, and asked the fairy if there was any immortality that could extend his life. The immortal fairy said that he could give Emperor Xia a prototype of the Immortal Tao Fruit, so that Emperor Xia could become the fourth master. After rejecting the proposal, the fairy told Xiantao.

Since the fairy went to the palace for a meeting to meet Emperor Xia, she never mentioned the matter of making Emperor Xia the fourth head of the family.

Not only did she not say that Emperor Xia would be the fourth master, but when she was in the palace, the fairy defeated the four masters of the immortal sects and even proposed to challenge Emperor Xia.

If Emperor Xia's lifespan was really short at that time, the Immortal Fairy would not have done this.

Lu Yang understood that this matter had been a trap dug for Guan Shanhai from the very beginning.

 No wonder the senior sister did not send Xiantao directly to the palace, but handed it to herself through Mangu.

Senior Sister had no intention from the beginning to let Emperor Xia take Xiantao to extend his life.

 Emperor Xia has extended his lifespan, and the power of national destiny is still in Xia Emperor, so it is impossible for Guan Shanhai to jump out.

The purpose of Xiantao is to stop Guan Shanhai, so that Guan Shanhai will be convinced that Emperor Xia is really dead.

 …

 Guan Shanhai's expression was so gloomy that water could drip from his eyes.

 He did not expect that everything was false.

He has been paying attention to Emperor Xia's movements recently, and even observed Emperor Xia at close range as Dean Qi, but he did not see that Emperor Xia was in disguise.

He has a suspicious temper, but the recent changes in the imperial city do seem like Emperor Xia is about to die: Emperor Xia first asked the eldest prince to pretend to be himself to handle government affairs to test his ability, and then the eldest prince was unwilling to inherit the throne, so Emperor Xia got rid of him one after another. The fourth and fifth princes forced the eldest prince to succeed to the throne.

“Okay, okay, I didn’t expect that Guan has been plotting against people all his life, but he didn’t expect to be plotted against by a group of juniors like you!”
