Chapter 926: Chapter 059: You Wouldn’t Compete with Me, Right?_1 Chapter 926: Chapter 059: You Wouldn’t Compete with Me, Right?_1 Chapter 0559: You’re Not Going to Compete with Me, Are You?

“Alright then, since you’re willing to help, come with me,” Zhang Ting, seeing that Qi Tian agreed readily, did not beat around the bush and directly made her request.

“I can follow you, that’s not a problem, but you must first seek the young master’s permission. After all, I am his guard, and I cannot leave with you without protecting him,” Qi Tian said.

“That’s not an issue, I’ll go ask Xiang Bo for a leave on your behalf.”

Zhang Ting wasn’t just talking idly; she went straight to Xiang Bo and proposed to borrow Qi Tian for a while. Xiang Bo cocked his head and looked at Zhang Ting, asking, “Zhang Ting, how much face do you think you have to dare make such a request for Qi Tian to go with you?”

Right now, Xiang Bo was still harboring resentment toward Zhang Ting. He was almost certain that the theft the night before was her doing. He was only holding back from completely falling out with her because the Imperial Family might take a liking to her in the future. However, his limited tolerance for Zhang Ting did not mean he could accept her further unreasonable demands.

Zhang Ting smiled faintly and said, “Xiang Bo, I know you want to study at the Imperial College in Eastern Capital City, and I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m also intending to go there. If you agree to let Qi Tian come with me to do something for me, not only can I ensure his return before your studies at the college get into full swing, but I can also offer you assistance while I’m there. Moreover, if I’m lucky enough to be selected by the Imperial Family in the future, I can promise you now that I will absolutely not speak ill of your family in front of the Imperial Family. What do you think of these conditions for borrowing him?”

Xiang Bo was suddenly tempted. If yesterday Zhang Ting was only a potential candidate for the Imperial Selection, the evolution of her spirit crow and its successful advancement had significantly increased her strength. The likelihood of her being selected by the Imperial Family was nearly a certainty. If Xiang Bo didn’t understand the importance of forging a good relationship with Zhang Ting at this time, it would render his father’s years of cultivation of him a waste. In particular, Zhang Ting’s promise not to speak ill of his family hit precisely Xiang Bo’s weak spot. In many cases, the failure of an endeavor came at a critical moment when there was either a lack of someone influential speaking up for you or someone speaking against you. Her promise not to speak ill was already quite a substantial commitment. What the Xiang family needed was exactly that.

“Fine, I agree. But, Zhang Ting, let heaven and earth witness, if you go back on your word today, beware the backlash you will face,” Xiang Bo said.

Zhang Ting just smiled and did not respond to Xiang Bo. She simply waved to Qi Tian and said, “Xiang Bo has agreed; now you can follow me with peace of mind.”

Gao Jinmei and Xia Xiaoming heard this and all looked at Qi Tian, seeking his opinion with their eyes, wondering if they needed to follow along. As long as Qi Tian nodded, they would be ready to leave, even if Xiang Bo disagreed.

Qi Tian secretly transmitted his voice, instructing Gao Jinmei and Xia Xiaoming to continue staying by Xiang Bo’s side and head to Eastern Capital City with him, find a suitable place to stay, and try to gather information about Zhao Haiying and the others. Additionally, after entering Eastern Capital City, they should try to collect secrets concerning the Imperial Family Secret Territory. As for whether it was safe for him to be by Zhang Ting’s side, Qi Tian wasn’t too worried. The Imperial Family Secret Territory was arranged in a circular distribution; the closer to the core area, the more likely high-level cultivators would appear. Given the area where they were now active, and Zhang Ting’s individual strength, it was almost impossible for Qi Tian to encounter threats to his personal safety in the region she would be traveling.

Qi Tian’s deduction was soon confirmed. After he and Zhang Ting left separately on horseback, Zhang Ting led the way ahead. The direction she headed was not toward the core area but toward a direction away from it. Although they took a few turns, the overall direction remained unchanged.

After a day and night of furious horse riding, Zhang Ting brought Qi Tian into a mountain range far removed from the world, where peaks stretched continuously and no human trace could be found. Once they entered the mountain range, Zhang Ting dismounted and continued to lead the way. After crossing several peaks with Qi Tian, she brought him into a dark cave. They walked forward in the cave for a long time until finally, Zhang Ting stopped in front of a huge rock.

“Let’s take a good rest now and adjust all our conditions to their best. Afterward, we might face a tough battle,” Zhang Ting said.

“What kind of tough battle?” Qi Tian asked.

“Don’t ask, just do as I say,” Zhang Ting played coy.

A nearly imperceptible smile appeared on the corners of Qi Tian’s mouth. Zhang Ting thought she had kept her secrets well, but she didn’t know that Qi Tian had the Heavenly Dao Engine and its ability to sense Spirit Qi, which had already allowed him to gain a clear grasp of the surroundings.

Qi Tian asked no further questions. He took out two middle-grade spirit stones and began recovering his energy. Zhang Ting extended her hand towards Qi Tian and said, “Give me some spirit stones; someone stole all of mine.”

Qi Tian casually handed the spirit stones in his hand to Zhang Ting, then took out two more. Before he could start his recovery with the new stones, Zhang Ting said, “Qi Tian, don’t be so stingy, okay? You extorted tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones from Long Yangyang and the others; surely, you can give me more than just two? I could use some extra.”
