Chapter 1435: Chapter 0812: Snatching Someone in Person Chapter 1435: Chapter 0812: Snatching Someone in Person Chapter 0812: Face-to-Face Confrontation

Qi Tian was discussing the potential difficulties Wanjie City might face with Huang Liuyan, when suddenly a group of cultivators approached. Most of these people were in the Gold Core Realm, but there were also two Nascent Soul Masters. One of them was Cheng Daoran, who had previously lost to Qi Tian, and the other, though he hadn’t met with Qi Tian, was the Nascent Soul Master from Tribulation City who had protected Cheng Daoran.

Upon seeing Qi Tian, Cheng Daoran’s face turned ugly, but he remained silent. It was the other Nascent Soul Master who, seemingly glancing unintentionally at Huang Liuyan, smiled and said, “You must be Niece Huang. I have long known of you. Back when your master was alive, he often discussed and debated with me. We had a great rapport that was well-known throughout the National Master Manor. It’s a pity your master died so young. If he were alive today, he would surely have become a Nascent Soul Master like me. I often lament this fact.”

Huang Liuyan quickly responded, “When my master was alive, he often mentioned you, Uncle Master. These past years, as I’ve been constantly traveling and completing tasks to earn cultivation resources, I’ve always forgotten to pay my respects to you. Please don’t hold it against me.”

The Nascent Soul Master seemed not to notice the edge in Huang Liuyan’s words and chuckled, saying, “From now on, in the National Master Manor, no matter what issues you encounter, you can always come to me. As long as it is within my capabilities, I can resolve them for you. It’s true that I have neglected you before, leaving you struggling with insufficient cultivation resources, but that will certainly change.”

Huang Liuyan knew this Nascent Soul Master wouldn’t show goodwill without reason; it was probably because of Qi Tian’s presence that he said these words. She turned to Qi Tian and said, “Qi Tian, let me introduce you. This is Elder Sun Xiqi from the National Master Manor, one of our oldest elders.”

When she said “our,” a flicker of joy crossed Sun Xiqi’s eyes, but he masked it well, and the expression was fleeting. He then turned to Qi Tian and said, “You must be Qi Tian, the young cultivator I’ve heard so much about lately. I’ve heard you and Cheng had some misunderstandings. Today, I specially brought him here to resolve the grudge between the two of you. We are all part of the National Master Manor, all one family. We should love and respect each other, and not fight over trivialities, giving outsiders something to laugh about. Isn’t that right, Nephew Qi? Today, I ask both of you to let go of past grievances for my sake. Cheng, you go first.”

Cheng Daoran’s face turned beet red. If he had a choice, the thing he wanted most was to kill Qi Tian; he could never forget the humiliation inflicted upon him. Yet he couldn’t defeat Qi Tian, so killing him was out of the question. Reluctantly, he wanted nothing more than to stay far away from Qi Tian and never see him again. Unfortunately, even this modest wish was unattainable. For the greater good and future of the National Master Manor, despite his unwillingness, he was forced to come and meet Qi Tian under the stern orders of his master. Now, under Sun Xiqi’s coercion, he even had to actively relinquish their grudge. How could he bear it?

Sun Xiqi, knowing Cheng Daoran’s pride, directly used a transmission spell to advise him, reminding him not to forget what he should do now.

With no other choice, Cheng Daoran, without looking at Qi Tian, clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, “No acquaintance without a fight, I don’t want to pursue past matters anymore. Let’s just let it go.”

Cheng Daoran’s words were reluctant. Sun Xiqi knew this was the limit Cheng could reach, so he smiled, then looked at Qi Tian, and asked, “Nephew Qi, what do you think?”

Qi Tian smiled and replied, “I naturally do not wish to harbor any grudges against Cheng Daoran. Back in Tribulation City, I made my position clear—if he doesn’t continue to trouble Liu Yan, I won’t seek him out for trouble. That was my stance before, it is now, and it will be in the future.”

Qi Tian’s words fell into Cheng Daoran’s ears, making his face burn with pain as he once again recalled the incident in Tribulation City.

Sun Xiqi also hadn’t expected Qi Tian to say such a thing. At another time, he might have expressed some dissatisfaction, but now he just smiled and said, “Since both parties have made their statements, let the past grievances be forgotten. From now on, we are all one family. We should all contribute to our family, not waste our energies on infighting, which would only make outsiders laugh at us.”

The group of Gold Core Realm cultivators brought by Sun Xiqi nodded and supported Sun Xiqi’s words enthusiastically, creating a supportive atmosphere.

Sun Xiqi’s gaze remained on Qi Tian, hoping this intentionally created atmosphere would naturally integrate Qi Tian into the National Master Manor. However, he was soon disappointed.
