Qi Tian and Luo Xia talked for a long time, the latter told Qi Tian many things he knew about the Imperial Master Mansion and Mansion Master, such a move is equivalent to acknowledging Qi Tian’s current status in the National Master Manor, no longer simply regarding Qi Tian as a younger generation worth cultivating.

After Qi Tian repeatedly confirmed from Luo Xia that he didn’t need to contact Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu, he continued his closed-door cultivation. This time he did not continue to cultivate the Three Essence True Scripture, but chose to practice Tiger Golden Body Skills instead. Since Huang Liuyan advanced to Gold Core and left the Imperial Master Mansion, Qi Tian hadn’t practiced the Tiger Golden Body Skills for a long time, not because he was not diligent, but because there were no more Tiger Roar Pills, the cultivation speed was simply too slow relying solely on other methods, and the efficiency was too low. Instead, it would be better to save time and turn to cultivate other aspects.

This time, Huang Liuyan gave Qi Tian a large batch of Tiger Roar Pills. It could be foreseen that Qi Tian wouldn’t lack Tiger Roar Pills for quite some time in the future. In addition, Qi Tian slaughtered so many Half-step Golden Cores and found more than one pill refining furnace among the spoils of war, one of which was of decent quality. Besides, he also found quite a few remains of Tiger Demons, he planned to attempt alchemy and refine the Tiger Roar Pills himself after using up this batch, so as to get rid of dependence on the outside world. Even if he couldn’t meet Huang Liuyan for a long time, he wouldn’t need to worry about running out of Tiger Roar Pills.

This time, Qi Tian did not stay secluded for too long. Two days after he went into seclusion, he received a report saying that the second son of King Zhangbei, Zhao Puxue had arrived. Whether Zhao Puxue was chosen by King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao to represent King Zhangbei Manor, he came specifically for Qi Tian, Qi Tian couldn’t ignore Zhao Puxue.

After receiving the news, Qi Tian immediately ended his cultivation and came out of his place. He was told that Zhao Puxue was being entertained by Xiao Ge. He quickly went to Xiao Ge’s place. However, when he arrived there, he was startled to find that Zhao Puxue wasn’t there.

“Elder, where is the Second Prince?” Qi Tian couldn’t help but ask.

Xiao Ge gave a wry smile and said, “He left.”

“Left? The second prince left?” Qi Tian couldn’t believe his own ears.

Xiao Ge nodded and said, “The second prince didn’t say more than ten sentences to me, then he got up and wanted to leave, I couldn’t stop him.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian sneered and said, “He just left like that? Didn’t say anything?”

Xiao Ge handed a list to Qi Tian and said, “This is the supplies brought by the Second Prince, a total of ten thousand taels of silver, and five thousand stones of grain. However, he didn’t bring the things with him, they are all stored in the city of Wangjin County. The second prince said that if we need them, we can go get the silver and grain from the city at any time.”

Qi Tian took the list from Xiao Ge, glanced at the contents, and showed a cold smile, saying, “What a Zhao Puxue, he treats me like a fool.”

Qi Tian had sent out requests for aid to both the Imperial Master Mansion and King Zhangbei Manor successively, and both Imperial Master Mansion and King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao had replied to Qi Tian in turn, stating they would send people over. Yet it had been several days since Xiao Ge and his group arrived when Zhao Puxue finally made his belated appearance. Qi Tian could overlook Zhao Puxue for this, and he could also vent his anger on King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao. After all, Xiao Ge and his group were at the Foundation Establishment Stage and had the support of the Imperial Master Mansion, while Zhao Puxue, although being a prince, was only at the Qi Cultivation Period, and there was a significant difference in speed. Even if the gap was a bit larger, Qi Tian could accept it and wouldn’t fuss over it.

However, in the reply to Qi Tian, King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao explicitly stated that he would let Zhao Puxue bring thirty thousand taels of silver and ten thousand stones of grain. Now, two-thirds of the silver and half of the grain were missing. Where did those missing silver and grain go? Besides being embezzled by Zhao Puxue, Qi Tian couldn’t think of any other possibilities. What’s more annoying was that Zhao Puxue put the remaining grain and silver hundreds of miles away in the city.

Moreover, Zhao Puxue didn’t even meet with him. King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao sent Zhao Puxue over not just to deliver silver and grain to Qi Tian, but to let Zhao Puxue express an attitude of standing with Qi Tian to the world. Despite this, Zhao Puxue left after dropping off the supplies without saying a word to Qi Tian, let alone expressing the attitude of King Zhangbei, he didn’t even catch a glimpse of him.

Qi Tian folded the list and put it away. Right now, he needed to keep such a ready-made piece of evidence safe as it might come in handy later.

“Qi Tian, do you want me to send a few people to the county city? They travel fast and can get things done within a day, then bring the silver and grain back.” Xiao Ge didn’t know what King Zhangbei Zhao Donghao had promised Qi Tian in his letter. In his view, ten thousand taels of silver and five thousand stones of grain weren’t much. But since this money and grain were to be used for the villagers, it wasn’t a small amount.
