Qin Wentian and the other governors immediately bowed when they saw the Lifire Empyrean arriving, "Your subordinates pay our respects to palace lord."
The Lifire Empyrean waved his hand and smiled at Qin Wentian, "Qin Wentian, the matters in the northern city regions have been handled well. Your harvest this time around shouldn't be small, right?"
"Reporting to palace lord, the various powers in the northern city regions have all taken the initiative to pay tributes. For the past tens of years, they have all been collected. In addition, there are also many powers that have privately given me some cultivation resources." Qin Wentian honestly reported, he didn't even hold back when he told the Lifire Empyrean about his share.
"There's no need to report what they gave you. It's fine as long as there's no problem with the tributes. I didn't expect you to enter the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm so quickly. Your cultivation speed is so fast that even I feel shocked. In the future, you will definitely have a bright future ahead of you." The Lifire Empyrean wasn't stingy with his praise for Qin Wentian. "Do you have any requests? Let's see if I can satisfy them."
"This is the duty of this subordinate. How would I dare to request anything from palace lord?" Qin Wentian politely spoke. "It's just that this subordinate hasn't seen Ye Qianyu for many years. I hope palace lord can allow this subordinate to pay her a visit."
"It has been so many years but you still haven't forgotten your old ties. How rare and precious. I naturally won't obstruct you. Later on, I'll get Protector Chen to bring you there." The Lifire Empyrean smiled and nodded, like he didn't mind at all. No one knew what the Lifire Empyrean was thinking.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Just hand the tributes to Ziyue and Ziyue." The Lifire Empyrean smiled. The five governors all handed the tributes to the two serving girls. It was rare for the Lifire Empyrean to chat with them. The Lifire Empyrean even said to Qin Wentian, "Wentian, your talent is extraordinary and you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Right now, you should continue to temper yourself as a governor for a period of time. In the future, if you want the position of one of the nine monarchs, I can give it to you."
The nine monarchs under the Lifire Palace were all hegemons and lords of their own territories, controlling many mines and mines. Their authority was clearly much greater compared to a governor of a region in Lifire City. In addition, the amount of cultivation resources they could obtain wasn't something a governor could compare to. This was truly a job with good benefits.
Qin Wentian also didn't know if the Lifire Empyrean truly wanted to rope him in or merely wanted to make use of him. But no matter what his true thoughts were, at least on the surface, the Lifire Empyrean was extremely benevolent to him.
"This subordinate does not dare to have too many extravagant hopes, but I will follow the arrangements of the Palace Master." Qin Wentian was still as polite as ever, low-profile and introverted. The Lifire Empyrean laughed, a deep meaning could be seen in his eyes.
After the two maidservants were done counting, they handed ten percent of the cultivation resources to the five commanders and left. Before leaving, Commander Xiahou did not forget to cast a cold glance at Qin Wentian. His gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Qin Wentian didn't leave. He followed Protector Chen, who brought him to the Lifire Palace back then, back to the Lifire Jail.
After they left, the Lifire Empyrean sat on a chair in the garden. Purple Moon laid on his lap as she spoke, "Palace Lord, back then Qin Wentian was still at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm. He only broke through to the immortal emperor realm after the Jialan Monarch acted against Ye Qianyu. Now, just over fifty years have passed and he has already broken through to the mid-stage. We have to guard against this man."
"Oh? Do you think he would do anything to me? "The Lifire Empyrean laughed.
"Fifty years have passed and he still didn't hold back in his request to meet with Ye Qianyu. Clearly, he has never forgotten her in his heart. Also, Ye Qianyu is palace lord's enemy. Most probably, Qin Wentian's heart has never truly submitted to her before. If he grew stronger, he would surely have thoughts of rebelling." Purple Moon spoke in a light voice.
"Haha, do you think the Jialan Clan is so easy to deal with? I actually hope that he would be able to endure until the day he grows stronger. In that case, as long as Ye Qianyu is in my hands, he would continue to fight against the Jialan Clan. It wouldn't be too late to act against him then. Let alone the mid-stage, as long as he is at the immortal emperor realm, I would be able to crush him easily. "The Lifire Empyrean laughed. Purple Moon didn't say anything more. Most probably, the Lifire Empyrean could see things more clearly than her.
…
In the dark and sinister prison, Ye Qianyu was currently in her cell. She was currently facing an ancient mirror and combing her long hair. Although this Lifire Jail was extremely sinister, she still took care of herself very well. Her cell was also very clean.
"It's been fifty years. Are you tired?" In the opposite cell, a figure with disheveled hair spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
Ye Qianyu couldn't be bothered with him, she didn't reply.
"But that's fine as well, allowing me to feast my eyes. For such a beautiful and sexy woman like you, the Lifire Empyrean is truly willing to bear to lock you up here. Sadly, there aren't any jailers here. If not, just based on that face of yours, you would surely be tortured and humiliated."
"Can you shut that smelly mouth of yours?" Ye Qianyu calmly spoke, her beautiful eyes flashing with coldness.
"Hahahaha, in the past, it was too boring here. Now that there's finally a beauty for me to tease, I naturally have more words to say. You spend all your time grooming yourself, could it be that you are still fantasizing about that ant breaking the rules?" That person coldly laughed. "I advise you to stop dreaming. Since the Lifire Empyrean locked you up here, how could he allow that ant to soar into the sky?"
"Lifire Empyrean." Ye Qianyu coldly laughed. "He is too confident. As the Lifire Empyrean, he naturally has a lofty and lofty status. Maybe, he thinks that he can control everything. One day, when he discovers that he is wrong, he might regret using me to control him."
"Is that so? If the Lifire Empyrean is wrong, it would definitely be because he didn't lock us up together in the same cage. If that was the case, we wouldn't be so lonely. Hahahaha. "That person laughed maniacally. Ye Qianyu's beautiful eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Tap, tap, tap …" A crisp sound rang out. That maniacal laughter rang out as he turned his gaze towards the distance. In the darkness, there seemed to be a white-robed figure slowly moving closer.
Gradually, a handsome face appeared in her vision. Upon seeing this face, the coldness in Ye Qianyu's eyes instantly melted. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile, as gentle as water as she quietly stared at the handsome figure walking closer. As for the figure in the cage opposite her, his eyes narrowed.
The white-robed figure walked closer step by step. His eyes stared at the person who was disrespectful to Ye Qianyu. His eyes gleamed with a resplendent light, directly piercing into that person's eyes. That person screamed in agony and clutched his eyes as red liquid flowed from his eyes.
Qin Wentian no longer looked at him. He walked towards Ye Qianyu's cage. Ye Qianyu was currently smiling at him as she spoke in a low voice, "You have come."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded, doing his best to maintain the smile on his face. "Palace mistress, you are still as beautiful as ever."
"Do you know that I'm beautiful now?" Ye Qianyu giggled as she stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian smiled awkwardly. This woman truly didn't have the awareness of being in a cage. Maybe, she intentionally acted this way in front of him.
"You came here for 50 years? Have you done something for the Lifire Palace?" Ye Qianyu asked.
"Right now, I'm the governor of the northern city regions. Jialan's Jialan Clan is located there. Not long ago, I did some reorganization in the northern city regions." Qin Wentian calmly spoke, summarizing everything that happened during these years. Ye Qianyu nodded lightly, "You have to be careful."
She knew that regardless of the Lifire Palace or the Jialan Clan, they weren't so easy to deal with. And Qin Wentian was right in the middle. One could very well imagine how much pressure he was under right now.
"I will." Qin Wentian seriously nodded. He then spoke, "Palace mistress, can you come over?"
"Why? You want to take advantage of me?" Ye Qianyu had a charming smile on her face. "No way."
Qin Wentian had a face filled with black lines. After that, he sat down on the wet ground and took out a gigantic emperor stone. After that, a small astral sword appeared in his hand as he started to carve on the stone.
Ye Qianyu stared at Qin Wentian's actions only to hear Qin Wentian speaking, "Back then after you helped me escape, I lost all news of you. After that, I went to the lake in the Jialan Emperor City and started to carve on it. It was at that time that I broke through to the immortal emperor realm. Right now, I'm already at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm. I'm going to carve another statue for you."
"Sure." Ye Qianyu happily agreed. She lay on the ground with her legs crossed, her posture extremely seductive. She pulled at her long hair, allowing it to cascade down. Her beautiful countenance was filled with charm as she spoke in a gentle voice, "Let's carve it according to how I am now."
"…" Qin Wentian was astonished. He stared at the alluring figure of Ye Qianyu as he nodded his head.
Astral light flashed as the emperor stone gradually transformed into a beautiful statue. The beauty lay on the ground, exuding a demonic charm that was extremely alluring.
"Done." Qin Wentian finished carving and showed it to Ye Qianyu. Ye Qianyu nodded, "Alright, you can go back now. In the future when you miss me, just take it out for me to take a look."
"Do you really not want to see me that much?" Qin Wentian bitterly smiled.
"Back then, weren't you the one hiding from me? I was afraid that you would annoy me." Ye Qianyu had a devilish smile on her face. Qin Wentian felt a little guilty. "Okay, wait for me."
"Mhm." Ye Qianyu gently nodded. "Remember, you have to keep a low profile. Even if you have sufficient strength one day, you still have to keep a low profile. Unless you have the confidence to kill someone in a single strike."
"I understand." Qin Wentian seriously nodded. He knew who Ye Qianyu was referring to.
Qin Wentian glanced at Ye Qianyu before he turned and departed. He didn't say a single word to the blind man. That blind man also endured the pain and didn't dare to speak. Sometimes, life was more important than pride. Even if he was living a life worse than death here, he still feared death.
Ye Qianyu glanced at the blind man as a charming smile appeared on her face. Sadly, that blind man wouldn't be able to see it.
Maybe, this was the reason why Qin Wentian turned him blind!
