Wen Jian may not readily listen to others, but he could still more or less hearken to the words of the Great Elder Chen Chen. With a cold snort, he stepped back, but his gaze at Qi Tian still carried anger and scorn.
Qi Tian paid no attention to Wen Jian but continued to look at the Great Elder, saying, “Great Elder, there’s no need to beat around the bush. I can see that you’re not satisfied with my arrangement. If you have any thoughts, just speak up, so everyone can consider them.”
Knowing that it was pointless to beat around the bush any longer, the Great Elder said, “Alright, then I’ll just speak plainly. Qi Tian, it’s not that your plan isn’t good, but you’ve overlooked at least two things, one is legitimacy, and the other is the degree to which it is acceptable to everyone.”
Qi Tian smiled and said, “I’m all ears, please enlighten me, Great Elder.”
Great Elder Chen Chen said, “It’s quite simple, let’s start with legitimacy. The Imperial Master Mansion was created by the Mansion Master himself, and his prestige among the vast number of disciples is unparalleled. Whenever there is anything, a call from the Mansion Master will surely be met with a multitude of responses, that much you won’t deny, right?”
Qi Tian nodded; even he held respect for the Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu. If the Mansion Master’s demands were not excessive, Qi Tian would respond as well.
Seeing Qi Tian nod, the Great Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qi Tian, swollen with strength, would even snub the face of the Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu, which would complicate matters. He continued, “So you see, choosing the next Mansion Master must definitely be someone extremely close to the Mansion Master. It’s like the kingdom won by the father, which will certainly be inherited by his son, right? That’s legitimacy. As for the degree of acceptance by others, on one hand, it’s based on this, and on the other hand, because of the Mansion Master’s prestige, everyone hopes that someone close to him will be the next Mansion Master. That’s the general sentiment. Of course, if you want to be the next Mansion Master, you will surely receive the heartfelt support of everyone, but don’t you intend to not linger long in the Imperial Master Mansion? So, this plan can only be put aside and shelved. Isn’t that right?”
Qi Tian nodded and said, “The Great Elder makes a lot of sense, and I completely agree. Therefore, you don’t need to seek my opinion, whoever you choose to be the next Mansion Master, I won’t object. How simple is that? I agree. Now, you all may leave.”
The Great Elder, seeing Qi Tian start to dodge the key issue again, said urgently, “Qi Tian, Wen Jian is the Mansion Master’s founding disciple and is universally recognized as the successor of the Mansion Master. If you’re not taking on the role of Mansion Master, then he is the most suitable candidate, and the one without controversy.”
Qi Tian nodded repeatedly, saying, “That’s correct, everything you said is right, I’ve already said I won’t object, you all can go ahead and arrange it. Let Luo Xia hand over all his work and authority to Wen Jian, would Luo Xia object to this? With his bear-like manner, does he have the courage to object?”
“Enough, Qi Tian, don’t pretend to be ignorant when you know well,” the Great Elder didn’t manage to stop Wen Jian in time, finally allowing Wen Jian to speak his mind completely. “If you recognize me as the successor of the Mansion Master, do you have the least bit of respect for me? The least bit of obedience?”
Qi Tian turned to glance at Wen Jian, then looked at the Great Elder and asked, “Is that your purpose for coming here today, to have me bow my head to Wen Jian in submission?”
The Great Elder was startled; Qi Tian’s words seemed mild, but each one carried the weight of a thousand pounds, lethal on reception. He hastily said, “Qi Tian, Wen Jian misspoke in the heat of the moment. You are our Imperial Master Mansion’s National Master; who dares not show you respect—I, Chen Chen, will be the first to not forgive them.”
Qi Tian gestured towards Wen Jian and said, “Then what is this… never mind, for the Mansion Master’s sake, I won’t take issue with Wen Jian. Great Elder, there’s no need for further words at this point, I won’t speak in riddles anymore. I’ve seen clearly now, including you, there’s still a considerable number of people within the Imperial Master Mansion who wish to see Wen Jian become the Mansion Master. To this point, I can tell you clearly, I don’t oppose it, but I also don’t support it. If you want to do it, go do it; I won’t meddle.”
“That’s not alright, Qi Tian. If Wen Jian is to become the Mansion Master, he needs to possess the realm of cultivation. How can it be done without that?” the Great Elder Chen Chen said urgently.
“Without the realm of cultivation, then go cultivate, speaking to me is useless,” Qi Tian stated bluntly.
“How can it be useless? Prince Zhao, didn’t you help someone advance to the Gold Core Realm overnight? And that servant under you, didn’t he ascend gloriously alongside you, also reaching the Gold Core Realm? You’ve said yourself, you don’t oppose me becoming the Mansion Master, so as a member of the Imperial Master Mansion, it is your duty and obligation to help me become a Gold Core Realm cultivator without any cost,” Wen Jian finally voiced the true purpose of his visit.
Qi Tian stared at Wen Jian for a long time, causing Wen Jian to feel uneasy, while Gao Jinmei and Jin Jin silently encircled him, ready to strike him down at Qi Tian’s command.
The Great Elder quickly stepped between Qi Tian and Wen Jian. “Qi Tian, don’t be impulsive.”
Qi Tian waved his hand, signaling Gao Jinmei and Jin Jin to step back, then looked at the Great Elder and asked with a laugh, “Is Wen Jian my son?”
