In the imperial city's study.

Jiang Yuan looked at the two people in front of him who were singing the same tune, then he bowed slightly to Ji Hao.

"You are worrying too much, Emperor. I am not fit to be the Emperor, and I have no intention of being the Emperor!"

Ji Hao looked at Jiang Yuan and smiled, "Don't worry, your succession may be a little troublesome! But with me here, I can clear all the troubles for you!"

"Besides, if you marry a princess from my Ji family, you will be the legitimate successor to the throne!"

Seeing Ji Hao's determined look, Jiang Yuan felt even more helpless.

He had no idea about the so-called Human Emperor.

The position of the emperor of mankind is not even worthy of his attention.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't just say, "I don't want to be the emperor! "

Jiang Yuan spoke again: "Thank you for the kindness of the Human Emperor. After all, as a foreigner, it is not appropriate, and I don't have such an idea. Besides, the Human Emperor is now in his prime, so it is too early to talk about this matter."

Ji Hao shook his head: "You don't understand! My Ji family rules one of the five regions in the world, and it is precisely because I am at the peak of my powers that I need to decide on a successor as soon as possible! This will prevent turmoil caused by the decline of my energy and blood in my later years!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Thank you for your kindness, Emperor! But I really don't have any idea about the position of Emperor. Besides, marriage is not a joke, how can I just marry a woman I have never met before!"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan bowed his hands again and said, "I came here to ask for a favor. I hope the Emperor will grant my request."

After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Ji Hao immediately put the words of persuasion back in his mind.

He likes Jiang Yuan very much.

Such a genius is unheard of.

With Jiang Yuan's talent, if his offspring inherit his bloodline, their descendants will surely also be extraordinary geniuses.

In addition, Jiang Yuan had double pupils, according to the ancestral teachings of the Ji family.

Those with double pupils are the heirs to the next Emperor of Man. Their descendants are not allowed to violate the ancestral teachings, let alone change them.

Therefore, he came up with this idea just now.

He married one of his princesses to Jiang Yuan.

In this way, Jiang Yuan can be considered half a member of the Ji family.

In the future, his descendants will be considered members of the Ji family and will be able to inherit Jiang Yuan’s terrifying talent. This is a win-win situation.

That's why he gave this advice.

Now that he heard that Jiang Yuan was about to state his intention, he temporarily stopped trying to persuade him and prepared to listen to Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

Then.

Ji Hao said: "Then tell me, if you can do it, I will definitely agree."

Jiang Yuan then said, "I want to find a precious pearl in the Human Emperor's treasury. This thing is very important to me! I can pay the corresponding price as a replacement."

Ji Hao burst into laughter when he heard that.

"I thought it was something else. It turns out to be just such a trivial matter!"

"It's just a treasure! Why bother with it?"

"I'll give it to you!"

Hearing Ji Hao's words, Jiang Yuan was immediately delighted.

At this moment, Ji Hao changed the subject.

"but."

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "But what?"

Ji Hao smiled and said, "But I can't give it away for free. I never do business that gives things away for free."

"No problem!" Jiang Yuan nodded and continued, "Just tell me what the Human Emperor needs. I can provide enough cultivation resources in exchange."

Ji Hao smiled mysteriously and shook his head slightly: "I own one of the five regions in the world. You can't imagine how much wealth I have. As for the cultivation resources you mentioned, I have no shortage of them! There are very few treasures in this world that can make my heart beat."

"Does the Human Emperor have any other needs?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Ji Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I will give you the treasure you want as a dowry!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan was about to speak, Ji Hao raised his hand and continued, "You don't have to worry. The one you are marrying is not just any princess."

"You are the most powerful genius of our human race, dominating the younger generation. The one you marry is my most beloved Princess Yue'er, the one you call Senior Sister Ji Yueyue!"

"You two are quite familiar with each other, and it's not like you don't have feelings for each other! Besides, my little daughter is extremely beautiful, with a charming and lively personality. You two are a perfect match, and it's not an insult to you. Are you willing to do this?"

After Ji Hao finished speaking, he looked at the two people below with a slight smile on his face.

at this time.

When Ji Yueyue heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at her father in amazement.

"Father, what are you talking about? Who wants to marry him?"

Ji Hao smiled and said, "My Princess Yue'er usually admires the Junior Brother Jiang you mentioned, doesn't she? Why do you back off now?"

Ji Yueyue heard this and immediately said anxiously: "Father, don't talk nonsense!"

After saying that, she stamped her feet and said, "I admire you, after all, you look good, you have outstanding talent, and you have a good temper."

"But." Ji Yueyue paused for a moment before continuing, "I admire Junior Brother Jiang, but that doesn't mean I want to marry him. I... I don't want to leave my father so soon."

"Since you don't want to, let your sisters marry Jiang Yuan!" Ji Hao said with a slight smile.

"No!" Ji Yueyue spoke up immediately, and said quickly: "My sisters are not suitable!"

"Why is it not suitable?" Ji Hao said: "I think it is quite suitable! They are gentle and virtuous, just right to take good care of Jiang Yuan! Besides, you don't want to get married, so you can only let your sister marry Jiang Yuan!"

Ji Yueyue stamped her feet immediately: "Not suitable! My sisters are not suitable! They are just not suitable!!"

Looking at Ji Yueyue's anxious face, Ji Hao, who was sitting on the imperial chair, laughed.

Just when he was about to speak.

Jiang Yuan's calm voice rang out: "Human Emperor, please forgive my rudeness! This marriage is absolutely not allowed!"

Ji Hao turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan, and immediately saw Jiang Yuan's unusually firm and decisive look.

"Why not?"

"Is it possible that my Princess Yue'er is not worthy of you?"

Ji Hao spoke with an angry look on his face.

Jiang Yuan said: "Senior Sister Yue'er is of noble status, so she is naturally worthy of me."

"Is it because my Princess Yue'er is ugly?" Ji Hao asked.

Jiang Yuan said: "Senior Sister Yue'er is extremely beautiful, how can she be described as ugly?"

"Oh?" Ji Hao said calmly, "Since Princess Yue'er is worthy of you and has a very beautiful appearance, why not?"

Jiang Yuan said: "Because I already have a life partner in my heart, and more than one! How can I marry Senior Sister Yue'er?"

"Junior brother, is this true?" A soft voice sounded in Jiang Yuan's ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan turned around and immediately saw Ji Yueyue looking like she was about to cry.

He suddenly felt a headache and was speechless.

Is it that serious? Plus, we have only met twice this time .

Ji Hao, sitting on the imperial chair, looked at his little daughter's expression and suddenly became angry.

In the imperial city, nothing can be hidden from him.

He also knew a thing or two about his little daughter's recent thoughts.

She often talks about her junior fellow apprentice Jiang Yuan.

He also understood this point very well.

It is reasonable for a young man to admire Ai.

Jiang Yuan has good looks and temperament, and is also extremely talented.

It's normal for a young girl to admire a strong man.

For this reason, after learning that Jiang Yuan had double pupils, which was in line with the ancestral teachings of the Ji family, he came up with this idea.

Just go with the flow and find a good home for your little daughter.

Jiang Yuan's performance is worthy of his little daughter.

At the same time, it can also complete the Ji family's ancestral precepts, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

That's why he had just tried so hard to persuade Jiang Yuan. Now he saw that Jiang Yuan's attitude was extremely firm and there was obviously no possibility of him nodding.

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

As the emperor of Zhongzhou, once I have spoken, I will not allow others to refute it.

Not to mention being rejected and dismissed repeatedly by Jiang Yuan like now.

The next moment.

Ji Hao looked at Jiang Yuan quietly in front of the desk and said, "If that's the case, then please go back! If you don't marry my daughter, I won't be able to give you the treasure you want! My Ji family also has dignity, how can I allow you to refuse me again and again."

"Father, give it to him!" Ji Yueyue said, and continued: "Junior brother has come here specially, which must mean that the pearl is very important to him. Father, as the emperor of mankind, how can you be so narrow-minded!"

Ji Hao said calmly: "That is absolutely impossible! Unless he is willing to marry you as his legal wife!"

Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly at this moment, then he clasped his hands and said, "Human Emperor, it's cold! I am determined to get this thing! Since the Human Emperor is unwilling to hand it over, I can only go and get it myself."

When Ji Hao heard this, he was stunned.

"Go get it yourself, what do you mean?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes widened and his face showed shock.

Because Jiang Yuan, who was just in front of him, disappeared without a trace as Jiang Yuan's figure flashed, and there was no trace of Jiang Yuan at all.

"This is impossible!" The burly General Xiong beside him suddenly spoke up with an expression of disbelief on his face.

At this time, Ji Hao's eyes became extremely solemn, and his mind swept through the void again and again.

However, there was still no trace of Jiang Yuan's existence, let alone how he left.

There was a huge wave of ups and downs in his heart.

As the Emperor of Man, he sits in the imperial city and is blessed with the fortune of humanity. It can be said that every move of the entire imperial city is under his eyes.

No matter how small the movement is, it can not escape his eyes.

Not to mention that a living person suddenly disappeared without a trace right under his nose, without any noticeable trace at all.

This greatly shocked him.

In Ji Hao's opinion, it was simply impossible to avoid his surveillance and not be noticed by him.

Even if an immortal or even a true immortal came here, it would be impossible to do it.

If this were so easy to do, how could the imperial city be safe at all?

How could the Ji family control Zhongzhou, the land with the richest resources, for more than a million years?

In an instant.

The entire study fell into silence.

After about a few breaths.

"My Emperor, how did Jiang Yuan leave?"

The burly General Xiong spoke.

Hearing this, Ji Hao also shook his head slightly and said slowly: "I don't know!"

Ji Hao stood up and said calmly: "Let's go and have a look at the royal treasury!"

A moment later.

In front of the Royal Treasury.

"Greetings to our emperor!" An old man with white eyebrows and beard appeared in front of Ji Hao.

"Mr. Li!" Ji Hao nodded to show his respect.

The old man Li, whose eyebrows and beard were all white, spoke again: "I wonder why our emperor came here today?"

Ji Hao asked, "Did Mr. Li see anyone coming here just now?"

The old man with white eyebrows and beard shook his head slightly and said firmly: "I haven't seen any other figures."

"Could it be that Mr. Li didn't see it?" General Xiong, who was following behind Ji Hao, spoke up and expressed his thoughts.

“What? Big Xiong, are you questioning my ability to see into the void? In front of me, even the Emperor himself can’t escape my eyes.” Old Master Li, with his eyebrows and beard all white, said with confidence.

Hearing this, Ji Hao also nodded slightly.

He also fully agreed with what Mr. Li said.

Otherwise, how could such an important task of guarding the treasury be given to him.

Then, Ji Hao walked forward and asked, "Is there any unusual movement at the door of the treasury?"

"No!" The old man with white eyebrows and beard shook his head. He quietly activated it again, and then continued: "The restriction is intact, there is no abnormal movement."

"That's good!" Ji Hao nodded with an approval look on his face.

"My emperor, why did you suddenly come here to inspect the treasury? Could it be that someone has trespassed into the imperial city?" The old man with white eyebrows and beard also asked the doubts in his heart at this time.

Ji Hao smiled slightly and was about to speak when General Xiong, who was following behind him, spoke.

"It's not that someone has trespassed into the Imperial City. It's just that someone has been making outrageous statements in the Emperor's study, saying that he wants to enter the Imperial Treasury to take an item!"

At this point, he sneered and continued, "Looking back now, it's just a tough talk to save face. You're still too young! That's why you care so much about face!"

The old man with white eyebrows and beard laughed out loud: "If it is really as General Xiong said, then this move is nothing but a laughing stock!"

"Haha!" General Xiong couldn't help but laugh.

"You are not allowed to speak like that about my junior brother!" Ji Yueyue said angrily.

"So that person is the little princess' junior fellow apprentice?" The old man with white eyebrows and beard was surprised when he heard this, and then continued: "So, the lunatic that General Xiong mentioned is Jiang Yuan, right?"

The burly General Xiong nodded: "Mr. Li's guess is correct, it is Jiang Yuan?"

"Oh?" The old man suddenly understood, "It turned out to be Jiang Yuan. No wonder he is like this! He has grown up smoothly all the way and is very young. It is normal for young people to be thin-skinned and care about their reputation! This is understandable!"

at this time.

Ji Hao has also arrived in front of the royal treasury.

"Mr. Li, open the door to the treasure house."

"My Emperor, this is not necessary!" The burly General Xiong behind Ji Hao spoke.

The old man with white eyebrows and beard nodded repeatedly: "Yes, my emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated the formation restriction.

Boom——

The door to the treasury opened loudly.

Lines of prohibition patterns clearly appeared on the surface of the thick golden door.

Then one by one the restrictions began to dissipate and retreat.

After dozens of breaths, the restriction covering the entire treasure house door was finally lifted.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ji Hao nodded slightly and couldn't help but said in his heart.

It seems that I was worrying too much.

Then he thought of the miraculous method Jiang Yuan used when he left, and his heart was tense.

Just at this moment.

Boom boom

There were continuous roars coming from the front.

The golden and extremely heavy door of the treasury was pushed by Old Li and slowly opened towards the interior of the treasury, making loud rumbling noises.

In an instant.

Through the crack in the door, everyone saw flashes of divine light inside.

After a while.

"Go in and take a look!" Ji Hao said in a flat voice.

Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly followed Ji Hao inside.

After stepping into the treasure house, Ji Hao looked around.

Seeing that the layout of the surroundings was exactly the same as the last time he came, with no difference, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"My Emperor, do you need me to take inventory of the treasures in the treasury?"

Mr. Li, who was following behind Ji Hao, spoke.

Ji Hao nodded: "Mr. Li, check and see if there is anything missing."

"Yes!" Mr. Li, whose eyebrows and beard were all white, nodded respectfully.

Even if he didn't care, he thought that there was no way that a problem could happen with such a tightly guarded royal treasury! Especially under his watch, it was impossible for anything to go wrong.

Besides, he had checked it when he just activated the ban.

There was no change in the restrictions covering the entire royal treasury.

The walls and doors of the royal treasury are made of an extremely precious divine metal that can block all forces and is the strongest metal in the world.

He simply didn't believe that anyone could enter the royal treasury and steal the treasures without causing a stir and passing through heavy protection.

But in front of the Human Emperor, even if he totally disagreed, he did not dare to express his thoughts, let alone offend the Human Emperor because of such a trivial matter.

Then.

The old man with white eyebrows and beard kept walking towards the depths of the royal treasury, his mind slowly sweeping from the outside to the inside.

Guarding the royal treasury for many years.

He can detect any slight change in any treasure inside.

Therefore, as long as he compared the on-site scan results with the memories in his mind, he could easily find out whether anything had been reduced or increased in the treasure house.

The further he went inside, the more he compared most of the treasure house one by one, and the more he disapproved.

After he walked through most of the treasury and compared most of it, he found that none of the treasures had changed.

They were exactly the same as in his memory.

It is precisely because of this that he disagrees.

Most of the treasury was untouched, so how could the Jiang Yuan mentioned by General Xiong have entered the royal treasury? If he really came in and saw the treasures collected along the way, how could he not touch any of them?

This is absolutely impossible!

In this case, the so-called entry into the royal treasury to take an item is nonsense.

Random thoughts kept flashing through his mind as Mr. Li continued to go deeper into the treasure house.

After a few breaths.

"impossible!!!"

Mr. Li, whose eyebrows and beard were all white, suddenly cried out in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Ji Hao's voice rang out, and his figure appeared beside Mr. Li.

Behind him, General Xiong and Ji Yueyue also hurriedly followed.

The four of them were now standing in a corner of the treasure house.

A corner of this place is where those rare treasures whose details are unknown are stored. Although no one knows their details or their origins, it is obvious from the material that this is a treasure.

They were all placed in this corner of the treasury.

At this moment, Mr. Li looked at the empty tray on the shelf in front of him with a look of horror and disbelief on his face.

"Did a treasure really get lost?" Ji Hao asked in an extremely serious tone.

Hearing the low voice ringing in his ear, Mr. Li suddenly came back to his senses.

He nodded with difficulty: "Replying to the emperor, if I remember correctly, there is indeed a treasure missing."

now.

The burly General Xiong beside him also showed an incredible expression. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Mr. Li, could it be that you remembered it wrongly?"

Ji Hao said solemnly: "This is impossible! Mr. Li is a saint of the seventh heaven, how could he remember such a small thing wrong!"

Mr. Li, whose eyebrows and beard were all white, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then he gradually suppressed the horror in his heart.

"My emperor, a treasure is indeed missing from the treasury."

"What treasure is it?" Ji Hao asked solemnly.

His face was calm, but his heart was not at peace.

Jiang Yuan disappeared silently in front of him, which was magical enough.

Now, without alarming anyone or making any noise, he went deep into his royal treasury and took away a treasure.

This was simply impossible. He totally couldn't understand why Jiang Yuan could do this.

When the old man heard Ji Hao's question, he slowly said, "A precious pearl, a precious pearl covered with dust!"

"Do you know its origin?" Ji Hao asked.

Old Li, whose eyebrows and beard were all white, shook his head and said, "It is precisely because we don't know its grade, its origin, and its effect that it can be placed in this corner of the treasure house."

at the same time.

The burly General Xiong then spoke with a horrified look on his face.

"My Emperor, who exactly is Jiang Yuan? How did he achieve this?"

"It's ok for him to suddenly disappear in front of me, but in such a heavily guarded royal treasury, he was able to ignore all the protection restrictions and go deep into the treasury to take the treasures he wanted."

"He" the burly General Xiong swallowed his saliva and said, "How on earth did he do that?"

Ji Hao heard this and shook his head solemnly, "I don't know! Unless we ask him in person, he is probably the only one who knows about this! But even if we ask, he may not tell us the truth!"

At this moment, Ji Yueyue on the side said with a smile on her face: "I told you! My junior brother is not a person who speaks nonsense!"

"My junior brother is such a polite person! He is clearly capable of entering the treasury without being discovered by anyone and taking away the treasures he wants."

"But he is still waiting at the gate of the Imperial City for his father's summons."

"Father is clearly capable of making friends with a genius like him, but now he has chosen to make enemies with him. My junior brother must be resentful now!"

Hearing his little daughter's words, Ji Hao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"You! You!!!"

Then, Ji Hao also sighed and said, "It seems that I really underestimated him! No wonder he dared to do such a thing and announced to the world that he would pass the tribulation and become a saint in seven days. With such means, who in the world can do anything to him?"
