In Lifire City, the original governor of the central city regions, Xia Hou, disappeared. The three aristocrat clans also disappeared.
Before this, when Di Tian held the banquet, he had clearly stated that he wanted to investigate the matters of the past and settle old scores. But at that time, no one expected Di Tian to be so tyrannical and decisive.
Also, from the things that happened, the Lifire Empyrean didn't interfere at all. Xia Hou was clearly not Di Tian's opponent. The Lifire Empyrean didn't interfere in the conflict between Di Tian and Xia Hou. Xia Hou was clearly not Di Tian's opponent. Governor Xia Hou, whose name shook the central city regions for many years, didn't even have the strength to resist and was directly removed from his position by Di Tian. Right now, no one knew where he was.
Not long after, the Lifire Empyrean sent an expert to take over the central governor's manor. This governor was named Sun Qian, he was a peak-stage immortal emperor who had cultivated for many years and was someone who had been by the Lifire Empyrean's side for a long time. He always had a smile on his face and seemed extremely amiable. On the second day after he took over, he immediately came to pay a visit to the Emperor Pavilion. Right now, the governors of Lifire City seemed to have come to a tacit understanding. If they wanted to stabilize their positions, they had to build up a good relationship with Di Tian.
After all, which governor of Lifire City didn't have any weaknesses? What if Di Tian, the supervisory commander, wanted to do things seriously?
After the matter with Xia Hou happened, Yin Qiu regretted it. So it turned out that it was useless for him to express his stance. Di Tian still did what he wanted to do and was extremely decisive. Yin Qiu had offended Di Tian for no reason and in the future, he had to tuck his tail between his legs. If not, who knew if Di Tian would be jealous and deal with him like how he dealt with Xia Hou one day?
After that, the Emperor Pavilion's development was naturally a matter of time.
The Emperor Pavilion started to recruit, recruiting experts from all over the world. The treatment they offered was extremely good. After all, the Emperor Pavilion could afford it now. Just the amount of tributes the Emperor Pavilion saved was enough to nurture many experts. As the Emperor Pavilion expanded, they gradually returned the people of the other powers to them while their own people took over. As time flowed by, the Emperor Pavilion gradually gained control of the entire industry.
Also, everyone knew that this was only the beginning.
Just like what everyone expected, with the support of the Realmlord and the exemption of taxes, in addition to Di Tian's position as the supervisory commander, no one in Lifire City dared to not open the door of convenience. In just a few years, the Emperor Pavilion has already become a hegemonic power. Their businesses expanded to the various regions of Lifire City, including the northern regions where Qin Wentian and the Jialan Clan were located.
The Jialan Clan strongly supported Di Tian's arrival. They have always maintained a very friendly relationship with Di Tian and it was the same for Di Tian as well. Jialan Qiuyue would often go to the Emperor Pavilion to chat with Di Tian. In fact, the Jialan Clan would even personally pay a visit, hinting at the relationship between Di Tian and Jialan Qiuyue, wanting to form a marriage alliance.
However, although Di Tian's relationship with Jialan Qiuyue was very close, he still acted dumb with regards to the hints from the Jialan Clan and didn't express his stance. This caused Jialan Qiuyue to look at him with a look of hidden bitterness in her eyes. Di Tian couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman looking at him with such a gaze. His hatred for the Jialan Clan gradually grew weaker. Naturally, this was an exception for the Jialan Monarch. He wouldn't forget Ye Qianyu who was still imprisoned in the Lifelong Saint Hall just because of Jialan Qiuyue's friendly actions. If it wasn't for the Jialan Monarch, many things wouldn't have happened.
Every time the Jialan Clan exchanged flirtatious glances with Di Tian, the people of the Mo Clan were extremely anxious. They urged Mo Junyi to get closer to Di Tian, they mustn't let Jialan Qiuyue beat them to it. Mo Junyi was just a young miss of a noble clan, how could she bear to take the initiative to stick close to Di Tian? At most, she would act as if they were close to each other.
Time flowed by day by day, the Emperor Pavilion changed day by day. However, to the vast Lifire Palace, this little bit of change wasn't enough to reach the apex. As long as the Lifire Palace was still sitting in its original position, the Lifire Palace would forever be the same as before. There wasn't much of a difference.
Compared to Di Tian and the Emperor Pavilion's high-profile rise, Qin Wentian who was also famous in Lifelong City back then was much more low-profile. He was the same as before, silently cultivating, as though he wasn't interested in anything happening in the outside world. The Jialan Clan also sent people to invite Qin Wentian several times, wanting to ease their relationship and resolve their conflicts. However, they didn't even manage to see Qin Wentian.
Some people guessed that maybe Qin Wentian wasn't in the governor's manor at all and had been tempering himself outside. After all, no one in the northern city regions would dare to cause trouble. With Qin Wentian's fame and the example of the Ancient River Auction House from back then, in addition to the fact that the Jialan Clan didn't intend to continue fighting against Qin Wentian, who would still dare to cause trouble?
Naturally, every ten years, when the Lifire Empyrean came to pay tribute, Qin Wentian would always appear on time. Compared to Di Tian, Qin Wentian gave the Lifire Empyrean a lot of face. Just like in the Lifelong Saint Hall, his performance was remarkable. Even if the Lifire Empyrean was suspicious of him, it wouldn't be good for him to do anything to Qin Wentian. Maybe, the thoughts between him and Qin Wentian would fade away with time.
Regardless of Di Tian or Qin Wentian, from the Lifire Empyrean's point of view, their behavior was very normal.
Di Tian was praised by the Realmlord and enjoyed special privileges in the Lifire Palace. It was very normal for him to act in a high-profile manner and there were even times when Di Tian didn't give the Lifire Empyrean any face. The Lifire Empyrean would also do things according to Di Tian's personality. In any case, there was no true conflict between the two of them. Even if Di Tian really obtained the Realmlord's favor in the future and stood at a certain height, it wouldn't affect the Lifire Empyrean at all. Hence, the Lifire Empyrean was very lenient towards Di Tian. Di Tian couldn't help but to admit this point.
Qin Wentian was also very normal. Because of his relationship with Ye Qianyu, in addition to the fact that Qin Wentian went against the Lifire Empyrean's orders to head to Lifelong City, Qin Wentian was very clear that the Lifire Empyrean was wary of him. Hence, he kept a low profile and didn't show any sharpness.
…
The river of time would never stop flowing. Unknowingly, tens of years passed. In these tens of years, Lifire City was still the same as before. However, a new supreme power was born in Lifire City, the Emperor Pavilion.
After tens of years of development, the Emperor Pavilion had truly grown into a terrifying power. The businesses of the Emperor Pavilion could be found all over Lifire City, they weren't limited to a single region. They had a terrifying supply chain in each of the five regions.
Right now, the businesses of the Emperor Pavilion were no longer limited to auction houses and transaction pavilions. In fact, they had already expanded to inns and inns, as well as taking on missions to forge weapons and inscribe formations. The experts in the Emperor Pavilion had already far surpassed a governor's manor. Such a large business naturally required a lot of manpower to support it. And given how powerful the Emperor Pavilion was, they had sufficient wealth and resources to recruit people. If Di Tian got married and took a wife, children and grandchildren, the Emperor Pavilion would definitely become a supreme aristocrat clan a thousand years later.
Hence, during these years, Di Tian encountered many things that made him speechless. Many major powers would send their young misses to the Emperor Pavilion, it was simply like they were here for a blind date. In fact, even if Di Tian didn't officially marry them, it was fine if he only wanted to take them as his concubines. After encountering such situations many times, Di Tian directly refused to meet them again.
This caused many people to be puzzled. Grandmaster Di was already famous and accomplished, why was he so distant from women?
One must know that leaving aside Jialan Qiuyue who was a peak-level beauty, even the young miss of the Mo Clan, Mo Junyi, was also a rare beauty. Also, the young misses they sent to the Emperor Pavilion, which one of them wasn't talented and beautiful? Would they dare to send ordinary women to the Emperor Pavilion?
For other people with Di Tian's level of achievements, it was very normal for them to have many beauties around them. But Grandmaster Di actually didn't accept any of them. Even if he didn't marry or take concubines, the other powers wouldn't have any objections even if he kept them by his side. As long as Di Tian accepted them, they would at least have the status of a concubine, right?
Could it be that Grandmaster Di already had someone in his heart? If not, why didn't he even want to marry the young miss of the Jialan Clan?
Today, the headquarters of the Emperor Pavilion in the central city regions had already expanded by an unknown number of times and was incomparably resplendent. The courtyard Di Tian was in was exquisitely decorated. Every step he took, there was a scenery. This was personally arranged by Mo Junyi. Right now, this place was no longer a place where just anyone could enter easily. Even peak-stage immortal emperors had to report their arrival.
However, at this moment, there was a female in the courtyard. She was incomparably beautiful and exuded a noble aura. This female was none other than Jialan Qiuyue.
"Qiuyue, why are you so free to come here?" Di Tian smiled.
"I encountered some troublesome matters and came here to take a walk." Jialan Qiuyue's gaze was filled with hidden bitterness when she stared at Di Tian. During these tens of years, their relationship was already very close.
"Is that so? Tell me about it." Di Tian sat in front of Jialan Qiuyue.
"Do you still remember the Xuanyuan Clan you met tens of years ago in Lifelong City?" Jialan Qiuyue asked.
"I naturally remember. The Xuanyuan Clan is so powerful and they even have a world palace lord. How could I forget about them?" Di Tian laughed.
"Someone from the Xuanyuan Clan came to Lifelong City to propose marriage, wanting a young genius from the Xuanyuan Clan to form a marriage alliance with my Jialan Clan. Isn't it the son of Xuanyuan Hao who came earlier? He's even more outstanding compared to him." Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes stared at Di Tian as she spoke, feeling trepidation in her heart. In truth, there was no such thing. She was just making things up.
"Oh, he wants to marry you?" Di Tian started as he asked.
Upon seeing the shock on Di Tian's face, Jialan Qiuyue's heart stirred. She seriously nodded her head as a hint of anticipation could be seen in her eyes.
"Qiuyue, congratulations. This is such a good thing, why are you so troubled?" Di Tian suddenly laughed as he spoke in an extremely serious manner. Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes froze as she stared at Di Tian in a daze. Di Tian didn't seem to be joking.
Congratulations?
Good thing?
Her clan had hinted to Di Tian many times but after so many years, Di Tian still didn't express his stance. She finally mustered her courage and listened to her clan's suggestion, putting down her pride and even lying. Just to exchange for a sentence of congratulations?
At this moment, Jialan Qiuyue only felt incomparably wronged. Her pride and self-esteem were all trampled on.
"Di Tian, you bastard!" This was the first time Jialan Qiuyue cursed. After that, she turned and ran away, her eyes red, leaving behind a dumbfounded Di Tian!
