Soon, the servant led in a man in a peach-colored robe.
"I am Xuan Mei, the humble servant, and I am here to greet Young Master Xingtian."
Ji Xingtian looked at the peach-dressed man's face, which was even more beautiful than the woman's. He was surprised for a moment, then suddenly remembered someone and said unexpectedly:
"You...are you the Taoist Mei?"
"Exactly."
Xuan Mei raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Young Master, I'm flattered that you know my name."
"Of course I know you!"
Ji Xingtian laughed heartily. "Ji Qingya and I have never gotten along. Sixty years ago, you were in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm and almost blocked Ji Qingya's path to heaven and earth. I felt so happy."
Xuan Mei was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. "Although I didn't gain anything from that trip, now that I can earn a smile from Young Master Xingtian, I can say that my trip was worthwhile."
This kind of surprise was naturally fake.
Knowing that it was someone from the Ji family, how could he not scout out their origins in advance?
If he hadn't heard that Ji Xingtian and Ji Qingya were not on good terms, he would never have come to surrender.
Ji Xingtian didn't know what he was thinking. He was very pleased to hear these words, and his tone softened a lot:
"I heard that you picked up the city lord's seal?"
"yes!"
Xuan Mei responded and quickly took out the City Lord Seal, offering it with both hands. "The situation was chaotic that day, and I was afraid that the City Lord Seal would be lost, so I collected it in advance. I waited until the two immortals arrived before I dared to return it."
Ji Xingtian took the City Lord Seal and casually threw it to another Celestial Immortal, laughing:
"That's a nice thing to say. You just handed over the city lord's seal directly. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for theft?"
"I believe in Young Master Xingtian."
Xuan Mei bowed solemnly, her attitude extremely humble. "Also, considering that I have provided clues about the city lord's explosion, I am sure that Young Master Xingtian will definitely let me go."
Ji Xingtian looked at Xuan Mei with a smile, but did not ask any questions in a hurry.
Although he acts arrogantly, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been arrogant for so many years without getting into trouble.
It was obvious that Xuan Mei had stolen the city lord's seal in advance and used it as a stepping stone to meet him.
If his guess was correct, what he said next was the real purpose of this person coming to see him.
He deliberately left Xuan Mei in the cold, sweaty state of her forehead, and then he said calmly:
"Tell me about it."
Xuan Mei had originally intended to tease Ji Xingtian's appetite, but after being left out like this, she immediately gave up the idea and quickly replied:
"Young Master Xingtian, I don't actually have any clues, but I have a plan that can help you gain the greatest credit on this trip!"
"No clues? How dare you deceive us..."
The fairy on the other side was halfway through cursing when she turned around to look at Ji Xingtian. Seeing that he was smiling, she stopped talking without saying anything.
Xuan Mei felt relieved upon seeing this and continued, "City Lord Ji has acted perversely this time. The loss of life is a minor matter, but the loss of reputation is a major one.
If this is made public, it will inevitably tarnish the reputation of the Ji family. It would be better for me to take this city lord seal and testify in person that the person to whom the blood pill was traded was someone else.
It was City Lord Ji who discovered it in advance, tracked it down to an underground cave and fought with it, but when he saw that it was impossible to succeed, he blew himself up and died together with it!
In this way, City Lord Ji will gain a good reputation, the Ji family will not be troubled by scandal, and you, Young Master, will be praised when you return. Isn't this the best of all worlds? "
Ji Xingtian narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
He had used a magic weapon to examine the bloodstains left by Ji Teng, and it was indeed that he died from taking the blood pill and self-destructing.
But although Ji Teng is not as meticulous as him, he is not a brainless person.
The method of taking the blood pill is no secret among disciples from aristocratic families like them, and Ji Teng must know it.
Without human blood as the medicine guide, how could Ji Teng easily take the blood pill?
Moreover, the several mummies moved out of the corridor also proved that Ji Teng had already made a human blood medicine.
If it is assumed that Ji Teng was forced to take the blood pill, then the person who forced him must have a higher level of cultivation than him, so he would be killed directly and then time and space would be disrupted.
The consequences caused, apart from adding a notorious bad reputation to the Ji family, are not much different from what they are now.
Therefore, he speculated that the murderer must be weaker than Ji Teng. After Ji Teng took the blood pill, he stole the blood pool containing the human blood medicine, and trapped him in an underground cave by some means, so that he could not find the ghost grass to suppress the medicinal properties, and died by self-explosion.
Even if this person's strength is weaker than Ji Teng, it is not too weak, otherwise he would definitely not be able to trap him.
From all these, he deduced that the murderer was most likely in the late stage of celestial immortal realm.
There are not many people with this level of cultivation on Zhiyao Star, and the number of people who come to participate in the flower viewing banquet is no more than five fingers.
And Xuan Mei happens to be one of them.
Now that it was delivered to his door, his guess was confirmed.
Xuan Mei is the real murderer who killed Ji Teng!
But what good will it do him if he catches him?
Ji Teng has no support in his family, otherwise he wouldn't have been punished so severely for the mistake he made before.
If he caught the murderer and reported the truth, he would be afraid that the Ji family would be disgraced and he would not even get a word of praise.
But if we follow Xuan Mei's plan...
All sorts of thoughts went through his mind, and Ji Xingtian's eyes flashed, and he smiled again:
"Fellow Daoist Xuan's words... make perfect sense. Ji Teng's death was filled with many strange circumstances.
I didn't have much contact with Ji Teng before, but I know his character and he is definitely not the kind of person who kills innocent people.
I will immediately write a letter to convey the whole story back. You can stay in the city for now and think about what reward you want."
After hearing what Ji Xingtian said, Xuan Mei was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly:
"Thank you, Young Master Xingtian! As for the reward, all we cultivators want is to cultivate. I have already thought about it. I also ask Young Master to find a good opportunity for me to enter the Enlightenment Pool!"
"Enlightenment Pond?"
Ji Xingtian was slightly startled, then sneered, "That's the foundation of my Ji family. You're truly insatiable!"
Xuan Mei's face was filled with bitterness, and she prostrated herself before him: "I have been stuck at the bottleneck of the Celestial Immortal Perfection for ten thousand years. I hope that Young Master will help me!"
The room fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, Ji Xingtian's voice slowly rang out: "Forget it, you get up first."
Xuan Mei carefully raised her head and heard Ji Xingtian sigh, "Xuan Mei, do you know that even I have very limited opportunities to enter the Ji family's enlightenment pool, let alone an outsider like you?"
Xuan Mei's heart sank: "Then..."
"The Ji family is not an option, but there is a place I can fight for you."
Ji Xingtian smiled slightly: "I will arrange an identity for you to enter. With your strength, it won't be difficult to win a place in the Enlightenment Pool.
Go back and wait for now. I will give you accurate news within three days."
Xuan Mei felt relieved when she heard this, and a genuine smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Young Master Xingtian, for your help!"
Ji Xingtian waved his hand.
Xuan Mei didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried away under the guidance of the servant.
