However, Feng Che's words reminded Ji Jiuying that what she feared most had come to pass.
"Oh yeah~ I'll give it a try!"
"No!" Feng Che quickly stopped him, at this moment he really wanted to slap himself hard!
However, he was still a step too slow. The blood in Ji Jiuying's palm had already been absorbed by the box, and the blood was flowing rapidly inside the box. A connection appeared in Ji Jiuying's mind, before she could think any further.
Click!
A crisp sound rang out, and Feng Che stared at the box warily. The box opened to reveal a blood-red jade pendant.
The blood-red jade pendant was surrounded by a gloomy black mist. Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes. Could this be the aura of death?
"This jade has such a heavy aura of death. Little Jiu, have you noticed anything amiss?" Feng Che asked solemnly.
Ji Jiuying touched the jade pendant, closed her eyes, and saw a dark world, as if it were a space abandoned by the world. The aura of death permeated the entire space, and there were densely packed assassins standing inside!
Ji Jiuying didn't know what that place was, but with just a thought, she could control the assassins inside and even make them appear before her.
Startled, Ji Jiuying suddenly opened her eyes, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Xiao Jiu, what happened?" Feng Che asked anxiously.
“This jade can summon assassins. I just dripped my blood, and this jade pendant has formed a contract with me. As long as I think about it, the location of the assassins will appear in my mind, but I don’t know what that place is!” Ji Jiuying explained.
Upon hearing this, Feng Che's expression turned cold. Could it be another world?
It seems that the Cangming Continent is far more complex than he imagined.
“This jade is very similar to a world!” Feng Che replied. “In the Tianyu Continent, many forces use the concept of a world to secretly cultivate their own power, but this kind of jade is not easy to find.”
Ji Jiuying pondered for a moment. How could Consort Liang possess such a thing? Could it be that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is connected to the Heavenly Domain Continent? Did she bring this box to the palace for her own use or to give to Jun Linyu? Her intuition told her that the chances of giving it to Jun Linyu were greater.
Could it be that they are planning a rebellion?
"Your uncle is right!" Xie Huo's voice echoed in Ji Jiuying's mind.
Ji Jiuying ignored it, her mind preoccupied with other things. She thought of that man and wondered how he was doing. "Second Uncle, when will I be able to go up to the Heavenly Domain Continent?"
Feng Che didn't understand why she wanted to go to the Heavenly Domain Continent. That place was not beneficial to her; on the contrary, it was full of dangers.
"Wait until you reach the Spirit Venerable level!" Feng Che didn't want to say more, and seeing this, Ji Jiuying didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked him to continue examining the Blazing Sun Bow.
Feng Che observed for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he told Ji Jiuying not to rush into signing the contract.
Inside the palace.
"Is there any news about the painter?"
"Your Majesty, every time there was a hint of a frown, it was cut off again. So many years have passed, and the traces have been almost completely erased."
Poria cocos replied.
Ever since Ji Yuerou learned the truth, she has wanted to kill Consort Liang every moment.
Just then, a light and nimble communication butterfly arrived at Empress Ji's Kunning Palace. The Empress looked at the communication butterfly in confusion. Could it be that the box had been opened?
The queen gently touched the butterfly with her finger, and some information appeared in her mind. Gradually, the butterfly disappeared into the air.
"Quickly, go and summon the Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Fuling vanished from Kunning Palace. The Empress calmed herself and thought, "Consort Liang, Grand Tutor Liang! Their ambitions are truly considerable!"
The Empress picked up her writing implements and quickly wrote a letter. "Ji Wei, give this letter to my father. Remember, it must not pass through anyone else's hands! Come back after he has read it."
A ghostly shadow guard appeared behind Ji Yuerou from the shadows, took the envelope, and disappeared into the palace, as if his appearance just now was an illusion.
"Liang Yunhua, Liang Yizhong, you two are really something!" The Empress muttered angrily to herself.
Soon, the emperor arrived in haste.
"Rou'er, what happened?"
The Empress told the Emperor everything without revealing a word, and the Emperor was instantly enraged and immediately summoned Consort Liang.
"Your Majesty and Empress, I pay my respects." Consort Liang curtsied, looking at the two people before her with unease. Why had these two, who had always been at odds with each other, suddenly summoned her? Consort Liang was filled with doubt.
"Consort Liang, what is this?" Emperor Jun Bufan produced a box identical to the one he had given to Ji Jiuying.
Consort Liang turned pale upon seeing this, but feigned composure and said, "Your Majesty, I do not know what it is."
"Why would it appear in your palace if you don't recognize it? Or is there some unspeakable secret here?"
"No, Your Majesty. I have been in the palace for over a decade. Don't you know my character? I am utterly loyal to Your Majesty. How could I possibly betray you?"
"Did I ever say you were disloyal?"
Consort Liang immediately faltered, then quickly retorted, "Your Majesty, I thought Your Majesty didn't trust me..."
"Then tell me, what is this box? And why is it in your palace?"
"It is my medicine. As you know, I have been having trouble sleeping lately because of Yu'er, so I asked my elder brother to find it from the Southern Frontier."
The Emperor glanced at Consort Liang and said, "Eunuch Min, summon Vice President Shen."
Vice Dean Shen? Could it be Vice Dean Shen from Star Academy? Liang Fei's heart sank at the thought, and her palms broke out in a cold sweat.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Empress, and Consort Liang!" Shen Qingqiu walked over slowly. As a member of the Star Academy, he was not required to kneel before the Emperor.
"Vice Dean Shen, I would like to trouble you to help me determine if this box contains any tranquilizers!" the Emperor said.
"No trouble at all! No trouble at all!"
Shen Qingqiu took the box and examined it carefully for a while. "Your Majesty, there is no medicine on this box. Instead, it has a chilling aura about it."
"Consort Liang, do you have anything else to say?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Consort Liang knelt down with a thud. "I really don't know what that box was!"
"Consort Liang, still daring to argue? From beginning to end, which of your words is true?" Emperor Jun Bufan asked.
"Your Majesty..." Consort Liang was speechless.
"Consort Liang, didn't you used to love purple lilies the most? Why haven't I seen them planted in your palace these past few years?" The Empress asked, suppressing her anger, her eyes fixed on Consort Liang, not missing a single expression.
Thump—
Consort Liang quickly suppressed the fear in her eyes, but how could she hide from the Empress who had recovered her spiritual power too early?
"Sister is joking. Even things you like can get boring eventually. Besides, it's common knowledge that the Purple Enchantress is difficult to grow."
Consort Liang suppressed her panic. No, no, she had basically executed all those people. She couldn't possibly know. That bitch Ji Yuerou must be testing her.
"Someone, bring him up!"
