Qi Tian arrived riding on Hu Niu, which frightened the people who were lined up waiting to give gifts to King Zhangbei. Fortunately, there were no cattle or horses around, only people holding boxes of gifts like family servants or warriors. They were all scared, but they saw Qi Tian on the back of Hu Niu and knew it was a demon with an owner, and the owner was from Imperial Master Mansion. As long as they did not provoke him intentionally, Qi Tian would not let Hu Niu attack anyone.

These people looked at Qi Tian with fear, all scared off to the sidelines and made way for him. Sometimes when their eyes met with Qi Tian’s gaze, they would hurriedly nod and bow, offering a pleasing smile.

Chen Wenbo and Gao Han from Guardian National Master Manor have been flaunting their power at Imperial Master Mansion, looking down upon it entirely. The reason they can do this is because they come from the more powerful Guardian National Master Manor. However, to ordinary people, Imperial Master Mansion is a colossal entity that no one dares to mess with lightly, especially given that Qi Tian is riding such an awe-inspiring Golden Flur Tiger.

Qi Tian is accustomed to the looks of awe and envy from other people, having experienced lots of it during his time in the Lianying Realm. Riding on Hu Niu at a steady speed, he passed through the crowd and quickly arrived at King Zhangbei Manor in the middle of the street.

The soldiers guarding the gate had long noticed Qi Tian riding his Golden Flur Tiger towards them, and some of them had already run into the prince’s mansion to report. More than a dozen soldiers armed with swords, spears, and shields started to form a formation to prevent Qi Tian from storming King Zhangbei Manor. These were ordinary people who appeared well-trained, but in Qi Tian’s eyes, they were a joke. Hu Niu alone would be enough to defeat all these soldiers without Qi Tian’s intervention.

However, Qi Tian wasn’t coming to cause trouble. When Hu Niu approached, he asked it to stop. He was now very close to the mansion gate, and it was clear to him that the soldiers in formation were swallowing nervously.

“Who are you, sir? What brings you here?” A soldier mustered his courage from behind the formation and asked loudly.

At this moment, Cui Liguo rode up on his horse, dismounted, and explained the situation as his horse wouldn’t dare to get near Hu Niu. “All a misunderstanding. This is an honored guest invited by the princess, we must not be disrespectful.”

The soldiers, recognizing their superior, quickly dispersed, and the area in front of the mansion returned to calm.

With an awkward smile, Cui Liguo said to Qi Tian, “I’m sorry for the mix-up, Qi Tian. I apologize on behalf of my soldiers. They meant no harm to you.”

Qi Tian waved it off and didn’t argue with the soldiers. He dismounted from Hu Niu and asked, “Can I take Hu Niu inside, or should I leave her somewhere else?”

As a cultivator, Cui Liguo himself dared to address Qi Tian directly. He said, “You should leave her outside. The prince has invited some important guests today, and it would be a bit inappropriate if this Tiger Demon went inside.”

Being a guest, Qi Tian found nothing unacceptable with Cui Liguo’s suggestion. He generally was not someone who would use his power to press people and was often quite easygoing. He nodded and replied, “Alright then. Have someone look after her for me, make sure she’s taken good care of.”

Cui Liguo quickly assured him, “Please be confident, we will feed Hu Niu with the best meat. Get someone to lead Hu Niu away, feed her with the best water and the best meat.”

A soldier walked out nervously and reached out to grab Hu Niu, but then he realized awkwardly that there was no bridle on her.

Hu Niu opened her mouth wide, revealing her bright white teeth and the blood-red tongue, which frightened the soldier, causing him to retreat several steps with a loud yell.

“Hu Niu, don’t scare people. Follow him and let them take care of you. If you’re being mistreated, call for me,” said Qi Tian.

Cui Liguo quickly assured, “Qi Tian, don’t worry, no one dares to mistreat Hu Niu.”

The soldier stepped forward, Qi Tian pointed at him, and after a glance from Qi Tian, Hu Niu then followed the soldier and left.

Cui Liguo gestured and said, “Qi Tian, please follow me.”

The two entered King Zhangbei Manor, and before they could go far, they saw Zhao Qian hurrying over. “Qi Tian, you’re here.”

Qi Tian saluted and said, “Greetings, Princess.”

Zhao Qian waved it off grandly and said, “No need for formalities. Commander Cui, thank you for your work. I will personally look after Qi Tian from here on out. You can leave.”

Cui Liguo saluted and left, while Zhao Qian led Qi Tian further into the mansion.

“Princess, thank you for last time. If it weren’t for you and the Prince, I would have been in trouble.”

…

As they chatted casually while walking, the two of them had a mutual admiration for each other. They had teamed up in the Lianying Realm to face enemies and trials together, and their relations were excellent. Zhao Qian led Qi Tian without any hesitation into a side hall where quite a few people had already gathered, all of whom were very close to Zhao Donghao and herself.

When Zhao Qian walked into the side hall with Qi Tian, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned instantly to look at Qi Tian.

During this time, Qi Tian had grown taller and was now almost as tall as Zhao Qian. In addition, he had cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage and had already shown a certain level of toughness in his appearance despite still looking a bit young.
