After everyone left, Qin Wentian returned to his seat. The Scarlet Eye Marquis lifted his wine cup and pointed it at Qin Wentian, "Brat, you are awesome, being able to easily defeat over ten experts of the same generation. Let me offer you a toast."
"Marquis is too polite." Qin Wentian hurriedly raised his cup and drained it in a single gulp.
The Scarlet Eye Marquis placed his cup down and smiled at Qin Wentian, "I'm not being polite. Although these little fellows aren't at the peak of their generation, their talent is extraordinary. You were able to defeat them so effortlessly. From this, one can see how tyrannical your strength is. Most probably in the entire royal palace, there aren't many in the same generation who can contend against you."
The Scarlet Eye Marquis was an immortal king expert. When Qin Wentian fought earlier, his aura was majestic and there seemed to be waves of terrifying might within him. The feeling he gave off was akin to that of a primordial demon. It was very rare to see someone below the immortal-foundation realm exuding such a fearsome aura. His fleshly body was extremely powerful and his vitality was boundless, easily dominating those of the same generation.
The news of the battle soon circulated out. The various residences in the royal palace all received news of it as different voices rang out.
"This man is so brazen and has no one in his eyes, humiliating the juniors of the nobility clan. He's incomparably tyrannical, disregarding the royal palace and his words."
"This Qin Wentian truly has decent strength. No wonder he could gain the favor of Princess Qin Wentian. Seems like other than a select few in the royal palace, there aren't many in the same generation who can defeat him."
"Asking father and mother to beg for help when you're injured? This child is actually so rude and has no upbringing. This is simply preposterous."
"Haha, this Qin Wentian is awesome. No wonder Princess Qing'er likes him. His personality is tyrannical and I think highly of him. Some people think that only their juniors have a chance to get close to Princess Qing'er. Are they even qualified?"
"Princess Qing'er's judgement isn't bad at all."
In the various residences of the nobility clan, Qin Wentian's name continued to appear. Everyone had different attitudes towards Qin Wentian.
But at this moment, a startling voice rang out from the Cloud King Manor.
"Qin Wentian has nothing in his eyes. Even with the Princess's favor, he still dared to disrespect Xia Lian of the Everpeace Marquis Manor. How despicable. After that, he even caused a huge commotion in the Everpeace Marquis Manor. The Princess was too young and lacked wisdom. She actually killed the daughter of the Everpeace Marquis for this lecher.
"Qin Wentian is the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors. Because of his talent, he doesn't have anyone in his eyes. He even bewitched Princess Qing`er and came to the Evergreen Immortal Empire, wanting to become the Prince Consort of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
"When Qin Wentian was a guest in the Evergreen Marquis Manor, he dared to take liberties with Xia Lian behind Princess Qing'er's back. In the end, Xia'er died tragically. With his talent, why would he care about nobility? He even dared to humiliate Princess Qing'er. Princess Qing'er has already fallen for him. He believes that he will definitely become the prince consort of the Evergreen Marquis, and in the future, he wants to be above nobility."
"The Cloud King is enraged and is preparing to personally report to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. We mustn't allow Princess Qing'er to continue being bewitched by this thief. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Numerous voices rang out from the Cloud King Manor, engulfing the entire royal capital. Very swiftly, the entire royal palace was shaken. Discussions about Qin Wentian could be heard everywhere. Let alone the people of the nobility residences, even the guards were discussing about Qin Wentian.
"So he's the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. His talent is truly outstanding. No wonder he's so arrogant, daring to humiliate the disciples of the nobility residences, and even telling them to beg for mercy if they lose."
"Do you know the weight of the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings? The people on the Immortal Ascension Rankings are all geniuses at the peak of the immortal realms. The # 1 ranker means that he can sweep through everything. It's very easy to understand why Qin Wentian is so arrogant. He basically doesn't place the geniuses of the royal palace in his eyes. He doesn't care about nobility at all."
"What a good # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. His talent is tyrannical, and in addition to the support of Princess Qing'er, he really doesn't even care about nobility. As long as the Evergreen Immortal Emperor nods his head, the position of prince consort would be his."
The discussions in the royal palace were all one-sided. Naturally, these voices didn't originate from those of the nobility residences. What sort of statuses did those with nobility status have? Even if they had such thoughts in their hearts, they wouldn't easily voice them out. The majority of the voices were from the people of the nobility residences. The vast majority of people felt that Qin Wentian relied on his talent and his relationship with Princess Qing'er to do whatever he wanted.
After all, this place was the royal palace of the Evergreen Kingdom. To the various nobility residences, Qin Wentian was still an outsider. Given Qin Wentian's talent as the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, once the Evergreen Immortal Emperor favored him and he became the prince consort, his status would instantly skyrocket. In the future, when he became a nobility, he would be able to suppress all the other kings and dukes.
In addition, Sharlyn from the Everpeace Marquis Manor had truly died. The daughter of the Cloud King brought Sharlyn's corpse here, causing them to feel even more enraged. No matter what, Sharlyn was still the granddaughter of the nobility residences. How could they not be enraged that she was killed because of an outsider? If something like this happened again in the future, could it be that Qin Wentian would also dare to kill a descendant of the nobility residences? Wouldn't that be lawless and out of control? No one would be able to suppress him.
"Princess Qing'er has been in the royal palace for quite some time. Seems like she is having a secret discussion with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. I wonder what his attitude is since she hasn't come out yet." Countless gazes were focused on the central royal palace. No matter how many voices there were in the royal palace, they wouldn't be as important as the voice of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.
A single sentence from the Evergreen Immortal Emperor could decide everything. If he supported Princess Qing'er and Qin Wentian, then no matter how loud the voices in the royal palace were, the nobility residences would support the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's decision, suppressing all doubts.
At the banquet in the Princess Changping Manor, Princess Changping and the Scarlet Eye Marquis didn't forget to use their powerful immortal sense to monitor the voices in the surroundings. At this moment, Princess Changping smiled at Qin Wentian, "It seems that the voices in the royal palace are somewhat disadvantageous to you."
"Little brat Qin, no wonder you are so powerful. You are actually the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors. Even our Evergreen Kingdom has never produced such an outstanding character. Come, let me toast you again." The Scarlet Eye Marquis was extremely straightforward. Qin Wentian naturally accompanied him and drained his cup in a single gulp.
"The Cloud King is truly scheming." Princess Changping continued, "The news of you being the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors should only be known by you and Qing'er. The people in the royal palace naturally wouldn't be able to find out about this within such a short period of time. You guys should have already leaked this information to the Everpeace Marquis, right?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded.
"Before this, not only did the Cloud King Manor conceal this matter, but after you defeated those juniors, they revealed this piece of news to you. In addition to the death of Sharlyn, they directly said that you had nothing in your eyes, not even having kings and marquises in your eyes. You had no way to defend yourself, and the public opinion of the royal palace naturally leaned towards one side." Princess Changping slowly spoke, her words causing Qin Wentian to furrow his brows.
"They are simply jealous." The Scarlet Eye Marquis coldly spoke.
"Jealousy is the nature of humans. He was the first person Qing'er brought into the royal palace, and this is already enough to cause people to be jealous. In addition to the fact that he's the # 1 ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, as well as the earlier incident with Sharlyn, they wouldn't care about the specifics of what happened. They would only think of it as their own opinions." Princess Changping's words pierced through the hearts of the people.
"If my talent was weak, I would be viewed as useless and wouldn't have the qualifications to enter the royal palace. But if my talent was good, I would be viewed as having no regard for the nobility." Qin Wentian shook his head and bitterly smiled, as though he was mocking himself.
"That's right, Qing'er brought you into the royal palace. This is the original sin. It's only natural that they would feel such pressure." Princess Changping laughed. Qin Wentian was also an intelligent man, he naturally understood that an outsider like him was able to enter the royal palace of the Evergreen Kingdom and was even together with Princess Qing'er, the most doted on by the Evergreen Emperor. Who wouldn't be jealous of him?
"What exactly happened to Sharlyn's death? I believe in Qing'er. She wouldn't kill people for no reason, let alone in the Everpeace Marquis Manor," Princess Changping asked.
Qin Wentian explained everything. "Qing'er was enraged because of you. It's best if she killed Sharlyn."
"In that case, Sharlyn's death couldn't wipe out her crimes. I'm afraid even Marquis Madam might not have told the truth to her father. After all, Sharlyn's death is a fact. Everyone would sympathize with her, the Cloud King, and the Everpeace Marquis." Princess Changping sneered. She didn't expect the daughter of the Cloud King to be so arrogant and domineering. She didn't even put Qing'er in her eyes. She even dared to kill Qin Wentian in front of Qing'er. She was too presumptuous.
"This is simply insubordination. Does the Cloud King think that the Emperor would believe him and not Qing'er?" The Marquis Scarlet Eye sneered.
"That's why the Cloud King released the news to pressure Qin Wentian. He naturally knows that he can't do anything to Qing'er and can only deal with Qin Wentian. Even if he can't do anything to Qin Wentian, he has to destroy the relationship between Qing'er and Qing'er. After all, this grudge has already been formed." Princess Changping continued. Qin Wentian secretly thought that Princess Changping was extremely intelligent and could see through everything.
"The Princess has left the emperor palace." At this moment, a voice rang out. From the direction of the emperor palace, a beautiful silhouette could be seen flying towards Princess Changping's residence. Princess Qing'er's countenance was as cold as ever, and no one could tell what she was thinking. In an instant, the news of Princess Qing'er leaving the emperor palace spread like wildfire.
"The Princess went in alone and spoke with the Emperor for a long time before coming out alone. The Emperor didn't summon Qin Wentian."
This caused many people to speculate about the Emperor's intentions. Not summoning Qin Wentian indicated that the Emperor didn't approve of Qin Wentian. Since Princess Qing'er had failed, the Emperor might not agree to it!
"I knew it. The Emperor is so wise and wise, how would he allow an arrogant fellow to enter the Princess Residence so easily? This person doesn't even place nobility in his eyes. If he really becomes the Prince Consort, what would happen then?"
In the royal palace of the empire, many of the nobles and marquises heaved a sigh of relief. If the Evergreen Immortal Emperor summoned Qin Wentian, their hearts would definitely tremble. Now that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor has agreed, the Cloud King wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
However, there was a high possibility that the Emperor was observing. After all, the Emperor doted on Princess Qing'er the most and wouldn't do anything to Qin Wentian. Even if the Emperor didn't agree, he wouldn't forcefully separate them.
Just when the royal palace was in discussion, Qing'er arrived at Princess Changping's residence. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at Qing'er, only to see that Qing'er was as cold as ever. She walked to his side and looked at him, as though she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
"It's fine." Qin Wentian smiled. He was already mentally prepared when he came to the royal palace. No matter what attitude the Changqing The Great had, he wouldn't care. He also didn't have any hopes of directly obtaining the Emperor's approval to propose marriage. Although Qin Wentian was confident in himself, he wasn't arrogant to that extent. What qualifications did he have to propose marriage? Accompanying Qing'er to the royal palace was merely to express his attitude, to announce to the world that he existed!
