Because she didn't go in
Gu Tianhe didn't quite understand.
She clearly had an internal quota.
It had been said before that she could enter whenever she wanted.
But why was it not allowed now?
Was her reason not good enough?
Gu Tianhe looked at the Palace Master in confusion.
The Palace Master waved a hand, and many immortal fruits appeared on the tabletop.
The Palace Master picked a fresh fruit and ate it casually.
At the same time, he pointed to the stone stool opposite him.
The meaning was for Gu Tianhe to sit down.
Gu Tianhe did not hesitate.
She sat down, wrapping her skirt around her.
The Palace Master couldn't help but smile.
"The Yin-Yang Divine Body is truly enviable, yet after your Yin and Yang reversed, there isn't even a hint of discord!"
Gu Tianhe didn't care about these things.
Her eyes remained calm.
She only wanted to know why the Palace Master wouldn't let her enter the White Jade Capital.
The Palace Master tapped his finger on the table.
The teapot levitated automatically and poured tea.
The Palace Master explained at this time.
"If it were before, I wouldn't even have asked for your reason. A spot was already reserved for you. You could go to the White Jade Capital whenever you wanted, and I would have wished for you to go sooner."
"But some things have happened recently that have forced me to be cautious."
Gu Tianhe was stunned for a moment.
"What things?"
The Palace Master sighed.
"Although there are the Nine Palaces in this world!"
"The gap in strength between the masters of the Nine Palaces is still very large. And who is the number one person of the Nine Palaces?"
Gu Tianhe said without hesitation, "Leng Huanyun!"
Although he really didn't want to admit it.
But that young man still nodded.
"Exactly, it is indeed Leng Huanyun!"
"But do you know? As long as Leng Huanyun breaks through to Immortal Emperor, she will be a Deacon of the White Jade Capital. Such power is enviable to anyone!"
"And with Leng Huanyun's talent, it's been several thousand years already; she couldn't possibly be stuck at the Peak of Immortal Emperor forever!"
"At first, we thought that perhaps Leng Huanyun's upper limit was just that!"
"But we were all wrong. Leng Huanyun is the smartest one!"
"As long as she doesn't Breakthrough, she doesn't have to go to the White Jade Capital, and she doesn't have to formally refuse them either."
Gu Tianhe was stunned.
"She is unwilling to enter the White Jade Capital?"
The young man nodded.
"Yes, if Leng Huanyun were an ordinary person, I would call her a fool for not wanting to enter the White Jade Capital!"
"But she is a top-tier Genius; she is the number one person of the Nine Palaces."
"How could someone who can become the number one of the Nine Palaces be a fool!"
"If it weren't for us recently seeing the White Jade Capital preventing Leng Huanyun from taking revenge, we still wouldn't understand why she has delayed her Breakthrough for so long."
Gu Tianhe understood.
"Leng Huanyun won't join the White Jade Capital, so the White Jade Capital is intentionally suppressing her!"
The Wuji Palace Master nodded.
"Exactly. Almost all of the Nine Palaces understand this now, so we are also exploring why Leng Huanyun won't go to the White Jade Capital. Until we figure out the relationship involved, you should not go to the White Jade Capital for the time being!"
Gu Tianhe fell silent, then prepared to get up.
Just as Gu Tianhe was about to leave.
The Wuji Palace Master suddenly asked.
"That memory pearl, what do you think of it?"
Gu Tianhe was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"It's very problematic. That thing somewhat affects one's state of mind, even magnifying Zhou Ziming's faults!"
"And it only contains those memories without any past Cultivation Techniques; it's purely intentional provocation!"
"A very crude method!"
The Wuji Palace Master smiled.
"Though it's crude, the effect is very good. Regardless of whether those events are true, Zhou Ziming's Opportunity is real!"
"As long as the Opportunity is real, it will arouse the greed of others. Once there is greed, the situation against Zhou Ziming is established."
Gu Tianhe remained silent.
She didn't know why the Palace Master was telling her this.
Or rather, what was the intention behind saying these things?
The Wuji Palace Master explained.
"I investigated where those pearls came from, and it turned out to be the White Jade Capital!"
Gu Tianhe was stunned once again.
The Wuji Palace Master sneered.
"Unexpected, isn't it? The White Jade Capital is the apex of Tianqi, yet the apex of Tianqi keeps using such things to target a single person."
"What kind of good place could such a White Jade Capital be?"
Gu Tianhe understood.
"Now that Zhou Ziming and I have become adversaries, if I go to the White Jade Capital, this opposition might become a dead end!"
Gu Tianhe looked up at the Wuji Palace Master.
"Why help me?"
The Wuji Palace Master sighed.
"You are a Disciple of my palace, and your talent is not inferior to Leng Huanyun's. Naturally, I will help!"
"Alright, you may withdraw."
Gu Tianhe nodded.
She got up and left.
————
Leaving the Palace Master's world.
Gu Tianhe's mood was very agitated.
Because she felt that she had been calculated from the very beginning.
From going to kill Zhou Ziming to the current situation, which was almost a dead-end opposition with him.
Gu Tianhe even understood why the Wuji Palace Master had told her these things today.
It was a very simple logic.
If Leng Huanyun wasn't obedient.
Then they would find someone who was.
In that case, she was meant to be the obedient one.
Gu Tianhe felt very irritable.
"I wonder what Zhou Ziming is doing now. Does he know about these things?"
Gu Tianhe wanted to find Zhou Ziming more and more now.
And then have a good talk about the current situation.
But what she had done made her absolutely not dare to look for Zhou Ziming now.
"So annoying!"
Gu Tianhe's brows knitted together.
Since she couldn't go to the White Jade Capital now.
Then she would look for other Opportunities... Iron Mask had just returned from the Phantom Palace.
His mood wasn't very good either.
Because the battle between Zhou Ziming and Gu Tianhe seemed to have pulled back a curtain.
The heavyweights of the Nine Palaces had all entered the fray.
And now.
It was the beginning of the Nine Palaces' chess game.
Zhou Ziming and Gu Tianhe were at the center of the vortex.
"What does this mean? Why are the Nine Palaces starting to take sides now? What exactly is the reason!"
Iron Mask's face was full of worry.
Truthfully, the current situation was really too chaotic.
And even if they were taking sides and placing bets.
Zhou Ziming's current situation was also very bad.
From what Iron Mask knew, within the Nine Palaces, only the Cold Moon Palace and the Phantom Palace...
The Cold Moon Palace's attitude was still considered firm.
But the Phantom Palace was still wavering.
"What's the matter? You look so worried!"
The Tower Master was squatting at the entrance of the Blood Rain Tower without any sense of decorum, cracking melon seeds.
Iron Mask was stunned for a moment.
"Tower Master!"
The Tower Master waved his hand.
"Are you thinking about the issue of the Nine Palaces suddenly placing bets and taking sides? And that Zhou Ziming's current situation isn't very good!"
Iron Mask was blank.
"Since when did you have such a brain?"
Tower Master: "..."
Although he really wanted to retort.
But these things were truly not something he had figured out.
The melon seed shells in the Tower Master's hand instantly burned to ash.
He stood up and clapped his hands.
"In these ten years, besides Cultivating, Shangguan Yun has been studying our intelligence. Of course, there was also the setup he did on Jiang Chuyao before, which directly allowed him to discover the problem!"
"So, based on the current situation, Shangguan Yun says that the world is now divided into two halves: one side centered on Zhou Ziming, and the other on Gu Tianhe!"
Iron Mask was dumbfounded.
"That ridiculous?"
