The incomparably beautiful face flickered in the candlelight, captivating and yet making people feel inexplicably cold.
His slender white fingers held a teacup, turning it gently, and smiled, "Since you knew it was a disturbance, why did you come in uninvited? Shangguan Qingyun, when did you become so bold, so... annoying?"
At the door of the room, the man raised his head, revealing an old and gaunt face. It was the great elder Shangguan Qingyun.
He closed the door behind him and smiled, "I dared to come in uninvited and annoy the high priest because I have a deal to make with him. And I believe that the high priest must be interested in the content of this deal."
Wei Zixi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, tell me, what kind of deal is it?"
The Great Elder took a step forward, his deep, cloudy eyes reflecting the specially made candlelight in the Divine Emperor Palace, revealing a strange blue light, "I wonder if the High Priest is interested in getting rid of Ji Mingyu?"
Wei Zixi didn't show any surprise on his face. Instead, he shook the teacup and took a sip. "You can get rid of Ji Mingyu?"
"Of course I am not enough on my own, but if the High Priest is willing to help, I promise that my plan will succeed."
The Great Elder raised his head, the light in his eyes flickered more and more dazzling, "High Priest, you have been plotting against Ji Mingyu for so many years, even using the Flowing Marrow Ice Prison, don't you want to really get rid of him? Not to mention, as long as he is eliminated, Her Highness the Saint will no longer belong to anyone. High Priest, are you really not tempted?"
Wei Zixi slowly raised the corners of his lips and drank the tea in the cup, the smile on his face becoming more seductive and charming.
He said, "Okay, I'll work with you."

The time slowly approached the early morning, but the sky at dawn was darker than ever.
Duanmu Jun was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night and had no intention of practicing.
When he thought that he would become the true successor to the Divine Emperor tomorrow, he became extremely excited.
Just as he was tossing and turning, the window suddenly opened without wind, and a jade slip flew straight towards him.
Duanmu Jun took it casually, frowned slightly, and immersed his consciousness into it.
There was only one sentence in the jade slip - come to the Central Palace of the Divine Emperor. This trip determines whether you can sit on the throne of the Divine Emperor.
The Central Hall of the Divine Emperor is where the Chaos Jade Butterfly is stored. It was also the hall where the Great Elder Shangguan Qingyun conveyed the will of Heaven a few days ago.
And that place is also the closest to the gate of the Divine Emperor Palace.
Duanmu Jun analyzed the aura of the spiritual consciousness in the jade slip, but could not guess who it came from.
He was hesitant in his heart, wondering whether he should listen to the jade slip and go to the Divine Emperor's Central Palace to take a look.
He was afraid that this was a trap set for him by Ji Mingyu or Sikong Ye, but when he saw the sentence "It is related to whether you can sit on the throne of the Divine Emperor", he felt unbearable.
What if there really is some opportunity, or the Great Elder specifically gives him some advice
What's more, there is the Chaos Jade Butterfly there. Even if someone really framed her, the Chaos Jade Butterfly could save her once, and could naturally save her a second time.
After struggling, Duanmu Jun still walked out of the palace and went to the central hall of the Divine Emperor.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, he saw a familiar figure.
"Sikong Ye, why are you here?" Duanmu Jun's expression darkened, and he suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that you also got the jade slip?"
Sikong Ye was also stunned. "You also received the jade slip? Then... who called us here? What's the purpose?" (To be continued)
