The Lifire Empyrean's gaze froze, he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Qin Wentian's situation was truly somewhat complicated but it was impossible for him to say it out loud in front of everyone. He could only reply, "This subordinate doesn't dare to. It's just that the Lifire City needs someone to guard it. Before this, this subordinate ordered Governor Qin to stand guard there."
"Is that so?" The Lifelong Realmlord calmly asked. Qin Wentian actually dared to say such an excuse in front of him?
The Lifire Empyrean had a look of difficulty on his face. But at this moment, Qin Wentian stood up and bowed to the Lifelong Realmlord, "This matter has nothing to do with palace lord. It's just that because this subordinate's identity is sensitive, palace lord is worried that something might go wrong. I beg for palace lord's forgiveness."
Qin Wentian's words caused the Lifire Empyrean's eyes to narrow. The Lifelong Realmlord grew even more curious. Although he was the Lifelong Realm Overlord, there would naturally be people who would handle the matters below him. There was no need for the nine world palaces to report to him for ordinary matters. A mere bandit wouldn't be able to reach his ears. Hence, he had no idea about the matters between Ye Qianyu and Qin Wentian.
"Oh? Your identity is sensitive? Tell me about it. "The Lifelong Realmlord asked.
"Junior is a sinner and was born as a bandit. Back then in the territory of the Lifire Palace, the Jialan Monarch was a bandit and was captured. Palace Lord disregarded this subordinate's identity and placed me in an important position. This subordinate is already filled with endless gratitude." Qin Wentian's tone was extremely polite, not wanting to offend the Lifire Empyrean at all. In fact, he even faintly praised the Lifire Empyrean.
Although he was very impressive on the battlefield today, the Lifire Empyrean was after all one of the nine world palace lords of the Lifelong Realm. His foundation wasn't something he could compare to in a single battle. Now that he wanted to save Ye Qianyu, he naturally couldn't afford to offend the Lifire Empyrean.
"Bandit?" The Lifelong Realmlord's eyes flashed with a strange light as he glanced at the Lifire Empyrean.
"Yes, Realmlord. Also, back then, I followed Ye Qianyu and became a bandit. Now that Ye Qianyu has appeared at the banquet, Palace Lord is worried that I might be impulsive if I meet her. This is why he wants me to stay in Lifire City." Qin Wentian continued.
"Ye Qianyu?" The Lifelong Realmlord thought back to that supreme beauty from the Red Dust Immortal Palace. Her name was Ye Qianyu and she was the daughter of the Night Empyrean back then. She came here to beg for forgiveness. His gaze turned to the crowd from the Red Dust Immortal Palace and when his eyes landed on Ye Qianyu, he instantly understood some things.
The crowd revealed a strange expression. They finally understood why Qin Wentian had appeared and why he was so domineering.
It turned out that this battle was for the sake of a beauty.
Qin Wentian wanted to do his best to display his talent and from there, he wanted the Lifelong Realmlord to release him?
"Yes." Qin Wentian nodded.
"In that case, you came here for her?" The Lifelong Realmlord directly asked.
"Realmlord, please forgive me." Qin Wentian bowed. The Lifelong Realmlord's gaze was fixed on him. Not only for the Realmlord, at this moment, the Lifire Empyrean, people from the Jialan Clan as well as many experts were all staring at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian was a bandit but his talent was extraordinary. He participated in the Lifelong Banquet and fought in such a domineering manner, all for the sake of a woman. However, this woman was truly a supreme beauty. That dance she performed caused many major characters to feel their hearts stirring, wanting to take her for themselves.
Now, it all depended on the Realmlord's decision. Would he spare Ye Qianyu because of Qin Wentian's talent?
"Ye Qianyu was captured by your Lifire Palace?" The Lifelong Realmlord suddenly turned to the Lifire Empyrean.
"Replying to Realmlord. Back then, Ye Qianyu was the leader of the bandits, causing chaos in the region. I ordered my men to capture her and lock her up in the prison. Because Qin Wentian was only an accomplice, he had no choice but to join the bandits and his talent was truly extraordinary. Hence, I didn't imprison him as well and wanted him to atone for his crimes through his contributions." The Lifire Empyrean spoke. No matter how highly the Realmlord regarded Qin Wentian's talent, he still had to make things clear.
"In that case, you didn't do anything wrong." The Lifelong Realmlord nodded lightly. "Has Qin Wentian done anything before?"
"He has been the governor of the northern regions of Lifire City for tens of years and has contributed greatly to the reorganization of the northern regions." The Lifire Empyrean spoke.
"Since this is the case, Qin Wentian, you don't have to care about your identity as a bandit anymore. Just continue to be the governor of Lifire City." The Lifelong Realmlord spoke. This sentence was undoubtedly paving the way for Qin Wentian's future. He wouldn't care about Qin Wentian's identity as a bandit anymore.
"As for Ye Qianyu, she is the leader of the bandits. It's impossible for me to release her just like that. Just let her stay in the Lifelong Saint Hall as a servant for now. In the future, if Qin Wentian has done something great, you can come and ask me for her again." The Lifelong Realmlord decided Ye Qianyu's fate with a single sentence. Qin Wentian felt a little disappointed in his heart. When he saw Ye Qianyu appearing here, he decided to take the risk and fight, shocking everyone with a domineering battle. He truly hoped that the Realmlord would spare Ye Qianyu.
However, the Lifelong Realmlord's words were impeccable. As the leader of the bandits, he couldn't release Ye Qianyu just like that. Letting him redeem Ye Qianyu after achieving great merits was already showing him mercy. What else could he say?
"Many thanks for Realmlord's kindness." Qin Wentian bowed. He could only thank the Lifelong Realmlord.
"In the future, give him more opportunities to gain merits." The Lifelong Realmlord instructed the Lifire Empyrean.
"Yes, Realmlord." The Lifire Empyrean nodded. Seems like the Realmlord truly regarded Qin Wentian highly. Although the Realmlord didn't ask him for Qin Wentian, he wanted to make use of him to allow Qin Wentian to gain merits. In that case, if he wanted to use Qin Wentian in the future, it would be much more convenient. He could directly transfer Qin Wentian to the Lifelong Saint Hall.
"Alright, everyone, there's no need to be so reserved. Let's enjoy this banquet. Next, if the nine world palaces have any matters they need to report, they can directly come to my place." The Lifelong Realmlord smiled in a carefree manner. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they toasted to the Lifelong Realmlord. After that, the atmosphere grew livelier. The fairies of the Red Dust Immortal Palace once again floated down to the central platform and started dancing. There were also beauties playing elegant melodies. However, this time around, Ye Qianyu didn't go up and remained at her original location.
Qin Wentian turned his gaze in Ye Qianyu's direction only to see that Ye Qianyu was also looking in his direction at this moment. She had a radiant smile on her face, exuding a sense of seduction. She even winked at him. Qin Wentian laughed when he saw this scene. Although she was a maid in the Lifelong Saint Hall and couldn't be considered as having freedom, it was still much better than staying in the Lifire Jail.
"Governor Qin, congratulations." Beauty Xiao saw that Qin Wentian and Ye Qianyu were exchanging glances and couldn't help but to giggle. She lifted her cup and moved closer to Qin Wentian, her soft body was almost pressed against Qin Wentian's. Her snow-white chest was faintly discernible and was extremely alluring. Staring at the mischievous smile on her face, Qin Wentian instantly knew that this woman was doing this intentionally.
Qin Wentian saw that Ye Qianyu from afar had a meaningful smile on her face when she saw this scene. Her gaze was filled with hidden bitterness. Qin Wentian bitterly smiled and shook his head, clinking his cup with Beauty Xiao.
"Beauty Xiao, there's no need for you to be so close to him, right?" Yin Qiu's neutral voice rang out. Beauty Xiao glanced at him and pressed even tighter against Qin Wentian, almost pouncing on Qin Wentian. The Lifire Empyrean didn't find this strange. Beauty Xiao has always been like this, he didn't think too much about it.
"Seems like your gamble was right. With the Realmlord's words, the Lifire Empyrean wouldn't dare to act against you so easily in the future. He would probably use soft tactics to rope you in." Beauty Xiao spoke in a light voice. "This time around, I was the one who gave you this information. How do you intend to thank me?"
As she transmitted her voice, Beauty Xiao's red lips were alluring, revealing an extremely ambiguous expression towards Qin Wentian. This caused Qin Wentian to silently curse at her for being a vixen.
"Governor Qin, let me toast you as well. Before this, there were some unpleasantness between us, I hope that Governor Qin won't take it to heart." Xia Hou raised his cup to Qin Wentian as he spoke, as though he wanted to make peace with Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian calmly glanced at Xia Hou as a teasing smile could be seen on his face. Before this, Xia Hou would mock him every time they met. But now, Xia Hou actually wanted to admit defeat?
"Governor Xia Hou is too polite." Qin Wentian raised his cup and smiled, he didn't make things difficult for Xia Hou. He knew that Xia Hou's words didn't mean that Xia Hou had no ill feelings towards him and wanted to be on good terms with him. Even if he raised his cup in response, it didn't mean that he had forgotten about the past.
"Qin Wentian, today, you have truly gained face for our Lifire Palace." Grand Governor Zhuge Xiong took the initiative to toast to Qin Wentian. Since the Realmlord has personally spoken, they all knew that the Lifire Empyrean would do his best to rope in Qin Wentian. Hence, there was no need for them to hold back.
"Grand Governor, please." Qin Wentian replied. After that, Lin Ba also came over to toast to Qin Wentian. His attitude towards Qin Wentian was extremely polite.
Not only so, the major powers who came here together with the Lifire Empyrean also came over to toast to Qin Wentian, exchanging some pleasantries, appearing extremely friendly.
After the battle today, both Qin Wentian and Di Tian would become characters that no one dared to approach in Lifire City.
Only the Jialan Monarch had a heavy expression on his face as he sat there, drinking alone. His countenance was pale and extremely unsightly to behold. Anyone could reconcile with Qin Wentian, but it was impossible for him.
Right from the start, the Lifire Empyrean wanted to rope in Qin Wentian. Although he was making use of Qin Wentian, his method was very gentle and he didn't have any deep grudges with Qin Wentian.
Even the Jialan Clan couldn't be considered to have a grudge with Qin Wentian.
The only person who truly had a deep grudge with Qin Wentian was him, the Jialan Monarch. Because of the grudge between him and his daughter, Jialan Mingyue, he had offended Qin Wentian greatly. Naturally, Qin Wentian and Ye Qianyu also caused him to be in a miserable state. This grudge couldn't be resolved. But now, Qin Wentian displayed such talent and in addition to the fact that the Jialan Clan wanted to reconcile with Qin Wentian, the Jialan Monarch grew increasingly unhappy the more he thought about it.
Given the current situation, the Jialan Monarch might even express goodwill to Qin Wentian in the future. They wouldn't want to offend this supreme immortal emperor who was noticed by the Realmlord.
As he thought of this, the Jialan Monarch continued to drink alone to drown his sorrows.
Over at the Jialan Clan's side, the spiritual character of the Jialan Clan, Jialan Jiangshan, already understood the grudge between the Jialan Clan and Qin Wentian. He spoke to Jialan Yuntian, "Do your best to mend the relationship between you and Qin Wentian."
