Luo Xia spoke sincerely, and Qi Tian believed every word was from the bottom of his heart. However, Qi Tian only smiled and said, “Mansion Master, let’s talk later. You’ve traveled a long way here, you must be tired. Go to the County Master Mansion and rest first.”

Luo Xia anxiously said, “This matter is pressing! How can I rest? Qi Tian, can you at least tell me if there is a way to reverse Wen Jian’s fate? Is there a way to elevate him to the Gold Core Stage?”

Qi Tian laughed, “What’s done is done, there’s no changing it. Even if Heavenly Immortal Luo was to descend, I don’t think there would be a way.”

Luo Xia sighed, “Is there really no other way?”

Qi Tian said, “Mansion Master, there’s no use getting anxious now. Let’s first rest at the County Master Mansion. We can talk more afterwards.”

This time, Luo Xia did not refuse. Qi Tian was his last hope. If Qi Tian had no solution, then he had none himself. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to follow Qi Tian to rest at the County Master Mansion.

Qi Tian led Luo Xia to sit under the pear tree at the County Master Mansion, and pour a cup of tea for him personally, “Come, Mansion Master, don’t be anxious. There is no hurdle that can’t be overcome. First, have some tea.”

Luo Xia picked up the tea cup and gulped it down regardless of its boiling temperature. He put it down and sighed, “We thought Wen Jian was well-prepared this time. He could be seen as our collective hope. Who would have thought that it would turn out this way? Half-step Golden Core is more powerful than the Foundation Establishment Peak, but it’s so much harder for him to advance to the Gold Core Stage now.”

Qi Tian just smiled, saying nothing. He knew that Wen Jian, being Xiao Xiaowu’s disciple, was seen as his rightful successor by everybody at the Imperial Master Mansion, having shown exceptional promise right from the start. However, one’s path is not altered simply because others wish for it so. Qi Tian had once used the Heavenly Dao Engine to sense Wen Jian’s abilities and realized that his foundation was not as solid as everyone imagined. But back then, everyone, including Wen Jian, was in high spirits. Plus, Wen Jian didn’t get along with Qi Tian then, so Qi Tian didn’t bother saying it out loud to avoid courting dissatisfaction.

The fact turned out that his judgment was correct. Even if Wen Jian had access to the best resources of the Imperial Master Mansion, he still failed to advance to the Gold Core stage.

“Maybe we were all too impatient. We should have waited for Xiao Xiaowu to return and personally assess Wen Jian’s progress before deciding whether to let him stage a breakthrough. I suspect that would have increased the chances of him succeeding.” Luo Xia reproached himself.

Qi Tian pat Luo Xia on his shoulder, “Don’t blame yourself. It was Wen Jian’s choice to attempt the breakthrough. It had little to do with you. Even if Wen Jian believed he wasn’t ready and wanted to solidify his foundation, could you force him to breakthrough? Everyone is responsible for the paths they choose.”

Luo Xia still refused to blame Wen Jian. After all, Wen Jian had just advanced to a Half-step Golden Core and his chance to get to the Gold Core Stage had not been completely lost. “This is our responsibility, we were too eager which gave Wen Jian the feeling of urgency to make a breakthrough. If we could have been more patient, the outcome wouldn’t have been this.”

Qi Tian simply shook his head, choosing not to waste his breath persuasion. Although his fighting ability currently stands in the second place among the Imperial Master Mansion, clearly, it doesn’t weigh as much as Wen Jian’s. This is something Qi Tian couldn’t change in a short time.

Rubbing his face, Luo Xia said, “Let’s stop talking about Wen Jian. Qi Tian, I’ve received news that the Crown Prince might be plotting against you. Be careful. If you feel overwhelmed here in the County Master Mansion, you can return to the Imperial Master Mansion at any time. As long as you stay there, I promise you, no one can harm you.”

Qi Tian replied, “For this matter, sending me a Message Paper Crane would suffice. There really was no need for you to come personally.”

Luo Xia protested, “How could I not? You are from my Sky Eagle Hall. While others might ignore your safety, I cannot. Even if the Crown Prince decides to act against you in the future and others choose to look away, I won’t stand by and do nothing.”

Qi Tian had heard similar sentiments from Luo Xia before. To say he was unmoved would be a lie. He felt that Luo Xia’s words were heartfelt. Being someone who always returns kindness with kindness, Qi Tian felt somewhat embarrassed hearing Luo Xia’s sincere words. He felt he ought to do something in return, or else he wouldn’t be able to put his mind at ease.

After a moment of silence, Qi Tian said, “Mansion Master, while it is true that Wen Jian has only reached the Half-step Golden Core and the fact is irreversible, wouldn’t it also be a decent result if Wen Jian manages to advance to the Gold Core stage in the end?”

“Of course, but advancing from Half-step Golden Core to the Gold Core stage is no easy task.” Luo Xia retorted.
