Chapter 443
"The emperor wants to see me?"
Ji Mo jumped out of bed and said in a panic: "Where is the Imperial Master? Take me there quickly."
"Why are you so anxious?" Mi Lin said.
"That's the emperor, how can we neglect him?"
"There are two saviors in front of you, and you don't know how to stay with me longer!" Mi Lin was very dissatisfied.
"This... situation is special..." Jimo felt a sense of indebtedness for some reason.
Ji Mo said again: "How about this? I'll take you shopping when I come back?"
"That's pretty much it." Mi Lin had just reached him.
"Where is the Imperial Master?"
"He said he went to the backyard."
"Okay." Jimo opened the door to leave.
"Do you want me to follow you?" Su Qingqiao asked worriedly.
"No, now that my identity has been clarified, there won't be any danger." Ji Mo said with a smile.
After that, he trotted out of the room.
After Ji Mo left, Su Qingqiao expressed the big doubt in her heart: "Sister Lin, are there hot strips, ice cream, and... marshmallows on the streets here?"
"ha?!"

In a large garden somewhere in the palace, Shang Qitian, who had taken off his dragon robe, was standing by the pavilion, looking at the stars. He did not exude the aura of an emperor at all, just like an ordinary middle-aged man.
Gradually, two footsteps sounded from light to heavy, and the Imperial Master was seen walking over from the side path with Ji Mo.
"Your Majesty, Ji Mo is here." The national master bowed his Buddha's hand and said.
Shang Qitian turned his head and looked at Ji Mo with a gentle expression.
"Ji Mo joins Your Majesty." Ji Mo bowed on one knee and said.
"Please get up quickly, you are a great hero of our country." Shang Qitian stretched out his hand to help him up, with a gentle smile on his face.
If the imperial master hadn't called him "Your Majesty", Ji Mo would never have thought that such a middle-aged man with no noble temperament was the current emperor of the Yanteng Empire.
"It's just a coincidence, the main thing is the national master..."
Just when Ji Mo was about to modestly give credit, the Imperial Master interrupted: "Okay, please stop taking credit on me. Isn't it still important for me to provide you with the information?"
"But it's you who kills the enemy, not me..." Ji Mo said.
"Oops, I almost forgot to tell you," the Imperial Master patted his head and said, "Actually, it was not me who killed the enemy general that day, but Miss Su. If it hadn't been for her, you and I would have died long ago."
"It turns out it's lightness..." Ji Mo finally put aside his doubts. He was originally curious as to how the seriously injured Imperial Master managed to kill the enemy after he was unconscious. It turned out that he was simply overthinking it.
"By the way, Imperial Master, Miss Su still doesn't want to see me?" Shang Qitian asked.
The Imperial Preceptor had told him before that the person who killed the enemy General Li was a girl named Su, and her strength was definitely above the Xuanyang realm.
As an emperor, Shang Qitian was very surprised. In this world of cultivation, once they reach the Xuanyang realm, there are very few people who are willing to stay in the lower realm, because they all go to the upper realm to pursue a higher heaven.
But the strong men who stayed behind became emperors of various countries.
There are only seven emperors in this cultivation world, and their strength is all in the early stage of Xuanyang Realm. The sudden appearance of another Xuanyang Realm strongman really shocked him.
He once asked the Imperial Master to ask Miss Su if she could meet so that he could thank her.
Although he is an emperor, he is equal in the eyes of people of the same rank, so the emperor is just in name only.
As a result, the girl Su refused, and Shang Qitian was not angry. After all, every strong person has his own personality. If he doesn't want to see her, he just doesn't want to see her. As long as there is no hostility, everything else is fine.
"Miss Su said she didn't want to be involved in this matter," the national master said.
"I just want to thank her in person." Shang Qitian shook his head and said.
Ji Mo was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that the emperor invited Su Qingqiao, but Su Qingqiao refused, twice.
But thinking about it, Su Qingqiao didn't like human monks very much, and she hated the disputes in the world, so it was reasonable for her to refuse.
"Okay, let's not talk about Miss Su anymore, let's talk about
About Ji Yingxiong. "Shang Qitian smiled and said,
"Your Majesty, I can never bear the title of hero." Ji Mo said in fear.
"Your Majesty said you are who you are, so why do you talk back so much?" the Imperial Master said with a smile.
Ji Mo was stunned. His feelings turned away and turned into talking back to the emperor. What the Imperial Master said...
The emperor sat on the pavilion chair beside the pavilion and said with a smile: "I heard from the Imperial Master that Ji Yingxiong was arrested by mistake. When he was imprisoned in the dungeon, he always wanted to go out to participate in the competition. Could it be that this competition is against Ji Yingxiong? Something of great significance?”
"Back to Your Majesty, there are a lot of heroes in the Central Plains Competition. I really want to fight with them to improve my own strength. More importantly, I want to win a respectable ranking for my sect." Jimo said.
"Huh?" Shang Qitian smiled again: "How come I heard from the Imperial Master that this is not what you value most."
"Ah? Then what is my purpose?" Ji Mo looked at the national master with a puzzled expression. Is there any other purpose for participating in the competition that I don't even know about?
"Boy, you are still pretending," the Imperial Master glared at Ji Mo and said, "Don't you just want to marry Princess Xu'er when you participate in the competition? Now that His Majesty is here, why don't you dare to say anything? "
"What!"
Ji Mo was almost frightened and jumped up, and hurriedly said: "No, no, Master, are you mistaken? Why don't I remember saying this to you?"
"You didn't tell me, but Miss Mi Lin told me." The Master laughed and said, "I was wondering why I caught you and didn't let you participate in the competition that day, and you were still angry with me."
"Mi Lin?"
Ji Mo really wanted to slap Mi Lin's butt, just like he did that day in the ecstasy environment... No, I was thinking wrong.
Shang Qitian saw this and thought he was shy, so he said, "Hero Ji, what's there to be shy about? Xu'er is a talented cultivator, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is as talented in literature and martial arts as the ministers in the court. She is as beautiful as the moon and is known as the "Daffodil of the Imperial Capital". There are countless men in the entire imperial capital who admire her, and there are countless men who think of ways to express their feelings to her every day. Why are you shy even to say it out loud?"
"No, Your Majesty, you and the Imperial Master really misunderstood!"
Ji Mo quickly explained, "In fact, what Mi Lin said is not true, she just likes to make fun of me, but in fact, I am already a married man."
"Ah?"
National Master Sun was shocked. He never thought that Miss Mi Lin was actually joking with him! And Ji Mo already has a family!
"Brother Ji, is what you said true or false? I have talked to Your Majesty about this many times!" National Master Sun said with a sad face.
