Chapter 1491 - 1491 0855 Im Not at Ease_4

Chapter 1491: Chapter 0855: I’m Not at Ease_4 Chapter 1491: Chapter 0855: I’m Not at Ease_4 Gao Jinmei’s situation was very similar to that of Huang Liuyan; he too was out of touch with the elite circle of those at the Gold Core Realm Peak, let alone the fact that Qi Tian disagreed. For the cultivation resources Qi Tian desired, one would likely have to compete with Nascent Soul Masters, which made it even more inaccessible to her.

Gao Jinmei said, “Master, if you insist I give you advice, I can suggest an idea that isn’t particularly proper. The assassin organization I was part of, to my knowledge, carries out tasks targeting Nascent Soul Masters. Since they target Nascent Soul Masters, the assassins who take on such tasks are almost always of the same cultivation realm. The rewards for these tasks are exceedingly generous, but I don’t know if you’re interested? If you are, I can make some introductions.”

Huang Liuyan hastily interrupted Gao Jinmei, “Are you out of your mind? How can you propose that Qi Tian become an assassin? Do you think being an assassin is that easy? Not to mention the high level of danger, once you join an assassin organization, can you ever leave it behind? Once an assassin, always an assassin. If you leave the organization and they disclose your information, how can you even live? Qi Tian, you must never listen to Gao DiMei and take on assassin tasks.”

Gao Jinmei offered an awkward smile, fully aware of the consequences that came with accepting assassin tasks, similar to his own situation – captured by Qi Tian and forced to be his informant – the organization had sent people to kill him. If Qi Tian hadn’t intervened, he would have been finished. His suggestion was made simply because he had no other options.

Qi Tian stated, “Being an assassin is out of the question; I don’t have much interest in that area. Besides this option, do you have any other methods?”

Huang Liuyan replied, “If you’re really looking for such opportunities, you might as well check out Wanjie Commerce. Sometimes they announce tasks to the public, and you might find one aimed at Nascent Soul Masters. However, these types of tasks are generally limited to a small circle. Having spent many years in Wanjie City, it’s rare for Wanjie Commerce to openly release tasks calling for Nascent Soul Masters. The last time was during the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm competitive battle, but even then, Wanjie Commerce was merely the executor, and which Nascent Soul Master was required had been prearranged – it wasn’t open to just anyone, nor could it be refused without consequence.”

Qi Tian nodded in understanding. Whether it was Gao Jinmei or Huang Liuyan, neither could offer him a satisfactory reference, and he realized he must solve this matter himself and find a solution.

Qi Tian directed the two women to attend to their respective duties; even if there was nothing pressing, they should proceed with their cultivation. Afterward, Qi Tian headed towards the Brightness Palace at the National Master Manor.

The Brightness Palace served as the dwelling and cultivation place for the Mansion Master. Having completed three years of closed-door cultivation, Qi Tian, whether willing or not, had to pay a visit to the Mansion Master.

Yi Xuwen received Qi Tian courteously. They engaged in idle conversation for a while, Yi appearing very enthusiastic, and inquired whether Qi Tian needed any assistance from him or the National Master Manor. He said that if there was anything, Qi Tian should not hesitate to ask, as they were bound by duty to help.

Qi Tian didn’t stand on ceremony, and he made a request to Yi Xuwen, hoping for access to the top floor of the Scripture Library in the National Master Manor. He had encountered some issues during his cultivation and needed to consult some literature for reference.

Yi Xuwen readily agreed, telling Qi Tian to go ahead. As the Great Elder of the National Master Manor, all areas of the manor were open to him, and no one would obstruct him. If anyone dared to show him disrespect, he had the full right to punish them without repercussions.

After Qi Tian took his leave, Yi Xuwen watched his retreating figure, his expression turning contemplative. During their conversation, he had tried to indirectly probe for information, eager to understand the extent of Qi Tian’s progress during his three-year closed-door cultivation. However, Qi Tian remained elusive, refusing to give a definitive response. Yi Xuwen also attempted to use his methods to discern any changes in Qi Tian, but he dared not go too far, fearing to provoke an altercation. He could sense that Qi Tian’s power had indeed increased, but the degree and scope of this increase remained beyond his perception.
