Qin Wentian's calm voice rang out. His tone was even more arrogant compared to before.
Could the Qi King Manor afford this price?
How arrogant was this? The Qi King Manor was one of the most powerful kings in the Evergreen Kingdom Palace. Experts were as common as the clouds, and there were quite a few immortal kings among them. Any army they sent out was sufficient to suppress the entire region and become the king.
The eyes of the disciples of nobility froze as they stared at Qin Wentian. Today at the banquet, they finally got to know this man whom Princess Qing'er loved. He was incomparably arrogant, his arrogance towered up into the sky, unwilling to lower his head and willing to disregard everything. He fought against immortal-foundation experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, killing Yang An with a single sword strike. What a terrifying character.
And now, even when facing an immortal king, he wasn't willing to show any weakness and even retorted. In fact, with a single sentence, he even wanted to offend the entire Qi King Manor.
These disciples of nobility all admitted that they didn't have such courage and charisma.
That immortal king from the Qi King Manor stared at Qin Wentian. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, wanting to see through Qin Wentian. After that, he spoke, "Who are you exactly? From your words, the person who sent you to the City of Ancient Emperors shouldn't be just an immortal king, right?"
"Who is it has nothing to do with you. If you want to know, you can investigate it yourself." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. It wasn't difficult to find out that he had the Emperor Qianbian behind him. Many people in the Eastern Ascension Thirteen Prefectures should know about this. Even those who paid attention to the Dongshengxian Gate would know about the battle at the Dongshengxian Gate back then.
It was just that the immortal realms were simply too vast. The Evergreen Kingdom wasn't the Eastern Ascension Thirteen Prefectures after all. Although Qin Wentian caused some commotion in the Thirteen Prefectures, his fame wasn't strong enough to spread all the way to the Evergreen Kingdom. Only peak-level existences, immortal emperors, would be able to do so. Even immortal kings didn't have such qualifications. After all, in the vast immortal realms, there were simply too many immortal kings.
"You didn't say that on purpose, right?" Mu Feng coldly asked.
Qin Wentian glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm the same as you? You're so useless that you only care about your identity as a disciple of nobility. Other than that, you're worthless. Not to mention disciples of nobility, I've also killed the descendants and disciples of Immortal Emperors. If you were outside, you would already be dead. I hope you'll remember today's lesson. Otherwise, you won't live long.
After speaking, Qin Wentian turned and departed with Little Rascal by his side. A human and a demonic beast walked out of the Qi King Manor.
"Uncle, are we just going to let him go like this?" Prince Qi's Crown Prince Yang An's face was ashen as he asked indignantly.
"You want to kill him? Sure." The immortal king at the side glanced at Yang An. Yang An started as his expression turned unsightly to behold. That immortal king impolitely continued, "You are at the immortal-foundation realm while he is at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. If you can't kill him, what qualifications do you have to leave him alive? I can't afford to lose this face. "
After speaking, that immortal king flicked his sleeves and directly departed.
"ARGH!" Yang An stared at the departing back of Qin Wentian as he let out a roar of unwillingness. Humiliation, anger. From today onwards, he was no longer the # 5 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Instead, he was nailed to the pillar of shame by Qin Wentian. Everyone who saw him, Yang An, would think of the battle today. The humiliation of that sword strike would forever follow him.
"If you want revenge, you better cultivate well." A voice drifted over. Yang An clenched his fists tightly. Everyone below fell silent, they knew that the immortal king wanted to use today's matter to motivate Yang An. Yang An would either be plagued by his heart demons and be unable to recover, or he would go crazy and become even stronger.
Today was a tempering experience for Yang An, and similarly, it was also a tempering experience for everyone else.
So what if Qin Wentian was a descendant of nobility? There were so many descendants of nobility, and there were even immortal-foundation experts present. Yet, they were all smacked in the face by an outsider, ruthlessly humiliating everyone.
During today's banquet, they became a foil for Qin Wentian. Similarly, they also served as foils for Princess Qing 'er's judgment.
Why didn't Princess Qing 'er choose a descendant of nobility? Why didn't she care about Yang An, the crown prince of the Qi King? Why did she bring Qin Wentian to the royal palace? There was no other reason other than because Qin Wentian was more outstanding compared to them.
They initially wanted to humiliate Qin Wentian, forcing Qin Wentian to retreat in the face of difficulties. Yet, it was the opposite of what they wanted. Instead, they helped Qin Wentian to shine even more brilliantly.
The matter today was enough to be engraved in their hearts.
However, Qin Wentian didn't care about their feelings. He carried Little Rascal in his arms and returned to the Princess Changping Residence.
Princess Changping and the Scarlet Eye Marquis were waiting for him. Smiles appeared in their eyes when they saw him returning.
"Awesome. Seems like that lass Qing 'er's judgment isn't bad." Princess Changping smiled as she stared at Qin Wentian. Evidently, she already knew what happened earlier. Not only her, there were many experts from the nobility manor in the royal palace who had witnessed what happened at the banquet.
"This battle should be able to shut up many people. If you aren't worthy, their descendants are even more so." The Scarlet Eye Marquis laughed heartily. His horizons were truly broadened today. Usually, immortal kings like them wouldn't interfere in the matters of the juniors and wouldn't be too interested in them. Usually, they couldn't be bothered to interfere, even if there were conflicts between juniors.
However, the matter between Qin Wentian and Princess Qing 'er had caused an earthquake in the royal palace. Hence, many people paid attention to it. Who would have thought that this would give them such a pleasant surprise, allowing them to watch a good show. It was very rare for a battle between juniors to be so fascinating.
"Marquis praises me too much." Qin Wentian humbly replied. Qing 'er walked to the side of Qin Wentian and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded, "It's just that Little Rascal was injured. That fellow Yang An actually acted to deal with him."
Little Rascal stretched his head out and pouted at Qing 'er, appearing extremely adorable. "It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it."
Qing 'er rubbed Little Rascal's chubby body. Princess Changping then asked, "What demonic beast is this little fellow? He looks harmless but is actually so tyrannical."
"Who knows?" Qin Wentian shrugged.
"Alright, the two of you have a good chat. We won't disturb you any longer. After this matter, you two should be able to enjoy some peace." Princess Changping and the Scarlet Eye Marquis left. Qing 'er and Qin Wentian returned to their courtyard.
In the royal palace, a huge commotion arose. Many nobility experts started to investigate Qin Wentian.
He said that he had killed the descendants and disciples of immortal emperors before. Was this true? What sort of person was Qin Wentian exactly?
In the royal palace, voices of support for Qin Wentian began to circulate. They said that Yang An and the others had thrown away the face of the Celestial Empire's Nobility Manor. No wonder Princess Qing 'er would choose Qin Wentian. It was because these so-called nobility disciples weren't even worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Qin Wentian.
Such a voice caused those descendants of nobility and nobility who had participated in the plot against Qin Wentian to lose all face, feeling too ashamed to show their faces.
A few days later, news regarding Qin Wentian gradually spread to the royal palace. It was very easy to investigate Qin Wentian's background. His experiences in the immortal realms were very simple, but he had done several sensational things.
In the royal palace, the name of Qin Wentian rang out once more.
So it turned out that Qin Wentian wasn't only so arrogant in the Qi King Manor. He had been even more arrogant in the past.
Qin Wentian participated in the hundred-year grand banquet of the Dongshengxian Gate and defeated all his opponents, becoming the top ranker. However, he and his fellow apprentice brothers had rejected the invitation of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, smacking the face of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor at the Dongshengxian Gate.
So it turned out that Qin Wentian truly had an immortal emperor standing behind his back. The Emperor Qianbian came here to welcome the top ranker of the immortal banquet, Qin Wentian, and fought against the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, demanding the territory of six prefectures.
Not only that, it was rumored that Qin Wentian had killed the personal disciple of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, Que Tianyi, who was also the descendant of the Scarce Moon Immortal King. He even killed the son of the Xuan Emperor, Xuan Xing, and defeated the son of Zidi, Zi Daoyang.
Qin Wentian's simple experience was sufficient to make any nobility disciple of an immortal empire feel inferior. Just like what Qin Wentian had said back then when he attended the banquet at the Qi King Manor. What did they count for? If this was in the outside world, he would definitely dare to kill them. He had already done such a thing before.
Yang An, Mu Feng, and the others felt even more ashamed after they learned of this news. Those people who had humiliated Qin Wentian at the banquet were too ashamed to show their faces. What qualifications did they have to humiliate Qin Wentian?
Nobility disciples, what did they count for?
"Although his Majesty didn't agree to Qin Wentian entering Princess Qing 'er's residence, he didn't object to Princess Qing' er and Qin Wentian staying in Princess Changping's residence either. Could it be that his Majesty has other intentions?" Everyone started to speculate about the intentions of the Changqing The Great. Maybe, his Majesty was observing the situation now. In the future, if Qin Wentian grew stronger, his Majesty might really agree to this marriage.
"Qin Wentian actually has a high chance of becoming the prince consort of the immortal empire. Seems like we can't afford to offend him." Many people from the Nobility Residence were thinking. Not all the people from the Nobility Residence were targeting Qin Wentian. Back then during the banquet held by the Qi King Manor, those who targeted Qin Wentian were only a portion of people from the Nobility Residence.
In addition, the playfulness of the juniors didn't represent the attitude of the Nobility Residence. To the Nobility Residence, Qin Wentian's current cultivation base was still weak. There was no need for him to interact with Qin Wentian yet.
In the library of Princess Changping's residence, Qin Wentian and Qing 'er were flipping through some ancient books, including the experiences of the seniors. Qin Wentian especially chose to browse through many ancient books on establishing an immortal-foundation, absorbing more knowledge and combining it with his own knowledge. By doing so, his chances of establishing an immortal-foundation would be higher.
Qing 'er was the same as Qin Wentian. She was also preparing to break through to the immortal-foundation realm. In fact, the amount of time she spent at the ninth-level of Celestial Phenomenon was even longer and her foundation was extremely stable.
"Elder sister Qing 'er, big brother Qin." At this moment, a melodious voice rang out as a beautiful figure walked into the library.
"Ling`er." Qin Wentian stared at the person who just came. She was about fifteen or sixteen years of age and had a lively demeanor. She was none other than the youngest daughter of Princess Changping.
"Big brother Qin, these are the things you wanted. Mother told me to pass them to you." Ling`er passed an interspatial ring to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian received it and smiled, "Many thanks to Princess and Ling`er."
"These were all exchanged for using immortal-ranked weapons. There's no need to thank me. Since big brother Qin is collecting these, are you preparing to break through to the immortal-foundation realm? Since big brother Qin is so powerful, you would definitely succeed in a single attempt." Ling`er smiled.
"Let's hope so." Qin Wentian glanced at Qing 'er only to hear Qing' er asking in a low voice, "Are you preparing to enter closed-door seclusion?"
"Mhm, I have no idea how long it would take for me to break through to the immortal-foundation realm. If there's a chance of success, I might choose to enter closed-door seclusion for a longer period of time. What about you, Qing 'er?"
"You are in closed-door seclusion, I will as well." Qing 'er mumbled. Qin Wentian smiled and nodded his head. Right now, the royal palace was quiet and there was no longer anyone looking for trouble with him. Let's break through to the immortal-foundation realm in the royal palace of the Evergreen Kingdom!
