A day later, Qin Yichen was stared at by a couple of obscure gazes the moment he stepped out of the main entrance of the Pill Gathering. However, when they saw Xia Ziyi following behind Qin Yichen, those few obscure gazes quietly disappeared.
After leaving the Dankai, Xia Ziyi led Qin Yichen straight to the east side of Twilight City. There was an area there that was specially reserved for the Imperial Family.
The Dankai was not far from this area. Hence, it only took them a quarter of an hour to arrive at a mansion.
The mansion in front of him was extremely grand. There were four armored soldiers standing at the entrance, and an iron-blooded aura was faintly emitted from their bodies. Clearly, these people were veterans of hundreds of battles!
Above the entrance, there was a huge plaque with four words written on it … Lord Freedom's Mansion!
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
When they saw Xia Ziyi, the four soldiers bowed respectfully.
When they saw Qin Yichen, a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes. After all, Xia Ziyi had never brought any of her friends back to the mansion.
As for Qin Yichen's identity, the soldiers did not make any guesses. They did not even ask any questions and allowed Xia Ziyi to lead him into the mansion.
Walking into the mansion, Qin Yichen's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. In his senses, from the moment he stepped into Lord Freedom's Mansion, there were many obscure gazes and Spiritual Perception shooting out from some hidden corners, taking note of his every move.
"The security here is quite tight."
Qin Yichen muttered to himself. From his senses, he could even sense that there were a few people whose auras were not weaker than Martial Kings.
After passing through a green gravel path in the mansion, Xia Ziyi stopped in front of a courtyard.
"My father is waiting for you there. You can go there yourself." Xia Ziyi pointed at the courtyard in front of her and said.
Then, Qin Yichen nodded and entered the courtyard.
The courtyard was extremely quiet. At the entrance, there were two soldiers standing guard.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a small pavilion. In the pavilion, there was a middle-aged man who looked rather old.
More than half of the black hair on his head had turned white. However, just by standing there, he was like a sharp sword stained with blood. A frightening aura was emitted from him, unable to be concealed.
This man was the man whose name shook the Dukedom. He was the Lord Freedom, Xia Zelei!
"Junior Qin Yichen greets the Lord Freedom!"
Qin Yichen walked to the front of the gazebo and politely saluted.
Hearing Qin Yichen's voice, Xia Zelei turned around and looked sharply at Qin Yichen.
When Xia Zelei looked at him, Qin Yichen suddenly felt as if he was on a battlefield. A murderous aura rushed towards him. However, for these, Qin Yichen just kept his mind, and there was no change in his expression.
"Not bad."
Seeing that Qin Yichen didn't lose his composure at all, Xia Zelei's eyes seemed to flash with surprise. He immediately nodded, and the aura disappeared immediately.
"Since you're here, why don't you play a game of chess with me?"
Xia Zelei pointed at the table in front of him and said to Qin Yichen casually.
Qin Yichen also smiled slightly. In his previous life, he was also quite obsessed with the way of chess. Even in chess, he had great attainments in it.
The two soldiers at the entrance of the courtyard looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
They had followed King Xiaoyao for more than a year and a half, but they had never seen King Xiaoyao praise a member of the younger generation as' not bad '. Even the prince who possessed the Kuntian Tiger Dragon Martial Spirit had never received such praise!
As for chess, other than the current Duke Xiaoyao and a few of King Xiaoyao's old comrades, they had never seen anyone who was qualified to play chess with King Xiaoyao.
Therefore, the old man and the young man played chess in the pavilion like good friends. Throughout the game, the two of them did not say a word. The atmosphere was rather strange.
In this game, Qin Yichen was like a newbie. He did not consider the situation at all. On the other hand, King Xiaoyao, Xia Zelei, was like a grandmaster. Every move he made had a strategy behind it.
In the beginning, Xia Zelei was a little disappointed. However, as time passed, his moves became slower and slower. His sharp eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
In the end, when Qin Yichen made his move, the entire game leaned towards Qin Yichen. Without a doubt, King Xiaoyao, Xia Zelei, lost!
In the distance, looking at the result, the two soldiers were stunned. That novice kid actually won? Due to certain reasons, King Xiaoyao rarely left the house. Other than taking care of his wife, he loved to play chess. In terms of chess, there were very few people who could match him.
"Haha, not bad young man. You can see the game so clearly. You even tricked me. Not bad, not bad …"
Looking at his defeated chess piece, Xia Zelei laughed heartily.
"Your Highness, you let me win. I was just lucky." Qin Yichen said politely.
"You are neither arrogant nor impatient. Looks like your future achievements will not be limited to this small Duchy." King Xiaoyao was not stingy with his praise for Qin Yichen.
Then, King Xiaoyao waved his hand and the two soldiers at the door of the courtyard retreated. Only Qin Yichen and King Xiaoyao, Xia Zelei, were left in the huge courtyard.
"I heard from Ziyi that you taught him a set of moves and President Hai agreed to accept him as his disciple?" Xia Zelei said jokingly.
"I still have to thank you for Zi Yi's matter. Why have you come to find me? Speak frankly." Then, Xia Zelei's expression became serious.
"Your Highness, why are you so impatient?"
Qin Yichen smiled and said calmly, "Your Highness, you should have heard about the purpose of my visit from Ziyi."
Hearing this, Xia Zelei's expression changed slightly. His voice also became gloomy as he said, "Little friend, since you helped Zi Yi, just tell me your request. As long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you."
Hearing his words, Qin Yichen shook his head slightly and sighed: "It seems that Xia Zi Yi didn't tell you my identity."
Xia Zelei frowned. Indeed, when Ziyi told him that Qin Yichen wanted to check on his wife's condition, he was scolded and chased away.
But identity?
In front of King Xiaoyao, other than the King, what other identity in the Duchy could make him fear or admire?
He had heard about Qin Yichen in the past few days. After all, Qin Yichen was a person who caused a stir in Twilight City.
He was the alchemy genius of Qian Lan Prefecture and the youngest Martial King to enter the third floor of the Twilight Tower!
But, so what?
