Chapter 288: 225 All for Longevity!

Dressed in ordinary clothes, the low-profile Gu Ji gave a ceremonial bow to Pei Xuanjing, saying, “Mr. Pei, it’s been a long time.”

“Mr. Gu, it has been many years since we last met. I trust you’ve been well.” Pei Xuanjing smiled lightly.

“In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since last we met, and you’re even more impressive than before. Truly, I envy you.” Gu Ji, whose hair had turned partially white, flashed back to some memories.

Time flows like water. Last time the two met was ten years ago.

Seeing the man in front of him, his face unchanged and his spirit as radiant as ever, as if the years had not left any traces on his face, Gu Ji could not help but sigh.

Pei Xuanjing shook his head and laughed lightly, “Although I travel far and wide, news of you has never stopped reaching me. You were appointed as the Left Vice Censor-in -chief, commanded the forces in the Northwest Dao, broke the Diamond Gate with a wave of your hand, these achievements are not false rumors, are they?”

When Gu Ji heard Pei Xuanjing’s praise, a trace of pride flashed across his eyebrows, but he quickly hid it away, laughing to Pei Xuanjing, “Those are just minor deeds, far less impressive than what you’ve achieved. Nowadays, even though you’re at the prime of life, you’ve already reached an enlightened state of martial arts, known as the number one person of the Jianghu, what a glory it is!”

Ever since Pei Xuanjing fought with the old celestial master, and then killed the Seven Kills Sword Master and the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, countless in the Jianghu had marveled.

Many reasoned that Pei Xuanjing is now truly the number one person of the Jianghu.

After all, since the establishment of the Ultimate Ranking by Bai Xiaosheng, Pei Xuanjing was the first, and the only one, who killed a high-level Jianghu master.

Pei Xuanjing smiled and said nothing, neither accepting nor denying it.

At his current Realm, there is no need to be overly modest about his strength.

A ripple flashed in Gu Ji’s eyes. While his previous praises to Pei Xuanjing were indeed heartfelt, they were also a bit probing.

But from what he could see now, while Pei Xuanjing still remained as modest as before, his inherent pride was no longer concealed.

The Pei Xuanjing of the past was indeed proud, but he had reservations, knowing that he was not invincible.

The result of this probe undoubtedly made Gu Ji’s heart feel heavy, making him understand Pei Xuanjing’s intentions.

“It seems, Mr. Pei, you are determined to involve yourself in this matter.” Gu Ji said with a complicated tone.

Even though he leans toward collaborating with Pei Xuanjing, that would be the last choice under various circumstances.

If possible, he would naturally prefer not to have Pei Xuanjing get involved and seize the benefits that belong to them.

Pei Xuanjing said with a faint smile, “1 thought, Mr. Gu, you came today just to catch up.”

Gu Ji straightened his face and said directly, “Tell me your conditions!”

To be commissioned by others, to faithful serve others.

As he was entrusted by the Right Advisor to discuss affairs, he needed to maintain his position.

Even though he has a connection with Pei Xuanjing, under thorough consideration, they were merely collaborators, and the Right Advisor was the one on his team.

So direct, without any beating around the bush.

Pei Xuanjing was slightly surprised by his calm expression.

Gu Ji’S straightforwardness surprised him. According to Pei Xuanjingts understanding, the other party would continue to probe before finally asking the question.

But even though he was surprised, Pei Xuanjing was not caught off guard by his straightforwardness.

“I can support you in achieving your plans, even try to persuade the various forces in the Jianghu martial arts world to join in and take action together in the future. ” Pei Xuanjing said.

Wang Qiong•s goal was nothing more than the emperor’s idea during his reign. He had plotted for more than a decade, just in the hope of one day sending troops outside the border, sweeping MO Bei, restoring the prestige of the great ancestors, and making the four barbaric tribes surrender.

It could be said that among the many Civil Officials in the Great Ming Empire, Wang Qiong was an oddity. He was not like other Civil Officials who suppressed Noble Officials and wanted to honor Civil Officials alone.

However, such a Wang Qiong undoubtedly received the support of many Noble Officials. For these Noble Officials, only war and military exploits could maintain their glory and wealth.

As far as Pei Xuanjing was concerned, he was happy to see this.

After all, as Pei Xuanjing saw it, the world was vast, and the expansion of the Great Ming Empire would greatly assist their future plans.

According to Pei Xuanjing’s analysis, the Divine Dynasty’s plan in this world was somewhat similar to the Incense Fire Divine Spirit Way he learned about in his previous life.

If it really had something to do with the Incense Fire Divine Spirit Way, it meant that the more expansive the territory of the Divine Dynasty and the larger the population, the faster the Spirits’

cultivation, and the greater the authonty and power they held.

As for the rumors about the “Incense is toxic,” they were not within Pei Xuanjing’s consideration at

Incense is toxic and harmful to the Cultivation of Spirits?

But for a Cultivator who could hardly even achieve immortality, what right did he have to consider so much?

If he worried about this and that, would he not be losing the greater for the less, and worry about the sky falling?

Anyone else would certainly be overjoyed to hear Pei Xuanjing’s support and promise.

But Gu Ji not only possessed uncommon wisdom but also understood Pei Xuanjing better. From Pei Xuanjing’s journey, he had hardly ever made a deal at a loss.

With such full support for him and his allies, Gu Ji was certain Pei Xuanjing was planning much more.

Would his scheming affect their own interests?

“So what do you want?” Gu Ji asked squarely.

Pei Xuanjing laughed, “Everything is just for Longevity!”

“Longevity?” Gu Ji snorted, shook his head, and said, “Since ancient times, who could live forever, and who could live long? Are you saying…”

Hesitating halfway through, he seemed to recall something, his eyes narrowed, “The Earthly Divine Kingdom plan of the Shenxiao Sect!”

“Hmm?” Pei Xuanjing cast a surprised glance, “I didn’t expect that you would know about this affair too, Mr. Gu.”

When the Shenxiao Sect was eradicated, everyone just thought that the Shenxiao Sect was involved in a power struggle, had violated the imperial family’s taboo, and therefore incurred divine wrath.

Apart from a handful of people, hardly anyone knew the true secret behind it.

Pei Xuanjing was somewhat doubtful why Gu Ji knew about this affair. After all, to put it in unkind terms, with Gu Ji’s status, he was probably unable to reach such confidential information.

Even in his opinion, even the person behind Gu Ji, the high-ranking Right Advisor of the Ministry of War, Wang Qiong, might not know much about this.

Hiss!

Gu Ji sucked in a breath, his heart filled with shock. He didn’t know how to describe the astonishment raging in his heart at that moment.

It was only by chance that he came to know about this affair. However, he dismissed it at first, thinking it was just some baseless speculations and didn’t count for anything..
