Chapter 947: Chapter 0569: Non-lineage King_2 Chapter 947: Chapter 0569: Non-lineage King_2 Qi Tian nodded and said, “I understand. Okay, tell me, do you need our help? To properly bring you and He Yingying together? Of course, if you’re in a hurry, we also have ways to make your wishes come true in a short period of time.”

Qi Tian intended to understand Xiang Bo’s desire and clear the karma between them and Xiang Bo. As for whether this was in line with He Yingying’s wishes? That was not even within the scope of Qi Tian’s consideration.

Xiang Bo looked at Qi Tian in surprise and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Qi Tian replied, “The simplest and easiest method is for us to capture He Yingying for you, and then you can plant a Servant Pact in her sea of consciousness. That way, you can make He Yingying do whatever you want without any problems.”

Xiang Bo shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this and said, “If I sign a Servant Pact, won’t she be ruined? If so, He Yingying would no longer be He Yingying. What’s the difference between bringing her home and bringing home a wooden puppet?”

Qi Tian said, “If you don’t want to use that convenient method, we could temporarily detain her. You could spend day and night with her, and after cutting off He Yingying’s contact with the outside world, and with you being the only person talking to her, who knows? Maybe it won’t take long for you to capture her affection.”

Xiang Bo still shook his head. He always hoped to leave a good impression on He Yingying, and he did not want to do anything that might lead to misunderstandings from her.

Xiang Bo conveyed his thoughts to Qi Tian, who upon hearing them, was momentarily speechless.

Xiang Bo said, “Master Qi, if you have the ability, please help me. If you can accomplish this for me, I’m willing to return the employment contract that we signed with the City Lord’s Mansion to you, allowing you to regain your freedom.”

Qi Tian’s eyes brightened involuntarily. He had not expected Xiang Bo to offer such a condition. Undoubtedly, it was an offer Qi Tian and his company found hard to refuse. Although they had signed a one-year contract with the City Lord’s Mansion, and with their abilities, they could leave if they truly wished to, a resolution that was acceptable to both parties would certainly be the best outcome.

Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei conversed in whispers, considering what methods they could use to make Princess He Yingying take a liking to Xiang Bo. It was a challenging task indeed, not an easy one to accomplish.

However difficult the task, it still had to be done. If successful, they could peacefully dissolve their contract with the City Lord’s Mansion without worrying about any karma.

Frankly, neither Qi Tian nor Gao Jinmei were experts in this area. In his past life and his current one, Qi Tian had never seriously pursued a girl, and Gao Jinmei, being not an ordinary woman, could not offer any constructive suggestions.

In the end, it was Qi Tian who devised a plan. Though he had never pursued female cultivators, he had read many theoretical books on the subject and watched various films and dramas in his past life, so he had some confidence in his approach.

The core of Qi Tian’s plan was to make He Yingying see Xiang Bo’s current strength and also his potential for the future. Present strength was for the now, while potential represented how far Xiang Bo could go in the future. Only if he was remarkable in both respects would he be able to make He Yingying see him in a new light.

Qi Tian conveyed his plan to Xiang Bo, who posed a very pragmatic question to Qi Tian. There was limited time for Xiang Bo to interact with He Yingying. In the past, when He Yingying was willing to associate with Xiang Bo, seeing her was easy for Xiang Bo, but now, for Xiang Bo to see He Yingying was incredibly difficult. Without seeing He Yingying, how would he let her know of his current strength and future potential? Additionally, was his current strength enough to impress others, and did he possess untapped potential that even he wasn’t aware of?

Qi Tian shook his head repeatedly. Xiang Bo lacked even a shred of confidence in himself. How could this be acceptable? First and foremost, Xiang Bo needed to believe in his limitless future prospects and that he might definitely not be inferior to the He family.

Xiang Bo could only offer a bitter smile in response. The He family was the only non-lineage king recognized within the Imperial Family Secret Territory. They were unique not because no one else had merit enough to be crowned, but because the royalty within the Imperial Family Secret Territory had reached a consensus not to open this door again.

Qi Tian reassured Xiang Bo to take it easy, for if he intended to help Xiang Bo draw He Yingying’s attention once more, he would undoubtedly sort things out for him, and do so impressively. As for the difficulty of finding time together, whether he would become a king in the future or not, these were non-issues.

Qi Tian had no plans to look for opportunities for Xiang Bo to spend time with He Yingying after the banquet. Was the banquet not just starting? So, before the banquet ended, why not let Xiang Bo unleash his abilities freely and display them for all to see? Would that not wrap things up?

As long as Xiang Bo could pique He Yingying’s interest and she could see his potential, Qi Tian was certain that He Yingying might not necessarily choose Xiang Bo as her husband, but she definitely wouldn’t be as heartless as she currently was. She would probably be willing to give Xiang Bo another chance, and that was precisely the opportunity Xiang Bo now lacked.

Qi Tian asked, “Is there some sort of performance challenge during this banquet?”

Xiang Bo replied, “The hosts of the banquet do indeed arrange various performance challenges. However, I have inquired about these matters, and it seems very difficult to accomplish any of them, let alone come out on top.”

Clapping his hands together, Qi Tian said, “Perfect, we’ll just perform our best in these challenges. As long as your performance is distinguished enough to surpass everyone else, that is sure to grab He Yingying’s attention.”

Skeptically, Xiang Bo knew his own limitations very well. His strength didn’t count for much at the Imperial College. There were many who were more formidable than he was, too many to count. Furthermore, he was acutely aware that there were numerous talented young men courting He Yingying’s favor—including some whose backgrounds and strengths far exceeded his own. Competing with them, Xiang Bo had no confidence whatsoever. But at this point, if he didn’t give it his all in following Qi Tian’s lead, he would completely lose any possibility of continuing his association with He Yingying. For that slim hope, he was willing to take the risk. If he didn’t succeed, at least he wouldn’t have any regrets.

Qi Tian inquired of Xiang Bo what sort of performances were typically arranged at such banquets. He wanted to see if there was any angle he could work, but he quickly realized any manipulation was impossible. Only the organizers knew what the challenges would be beforehand, and they typically prepared everything in advance, storing the necessary props in Storage Bags, with no access for outsiders.

Being unable to interfere made things difficult. Wishing for Xiang Bo to excel in every upcoming performance just got harder. Qi Tian had spent some time studying Xiang Bo’s case. In his opinion, Xiang Bo’s cultivation talent was truly average; his future achievements were bound to be limited, and it was even doubtful that he could cultivate to the Half-Step Golden Core, let alone reach the Gold Core Realm.

The performance challenges prepared at the banquet were actually tests of the participants’ inherent strength, and they were the type that meticulously and effectively revealed one’s capabilities and potential. At this point, if Xiang Bo were to compete, the likelihood of him making a blunder was high. Then, not only would it be impossible to recapture He Yingying’s attention, it could even extinguish whatever interest she might still hold for him.

After careful consideration, Qi Tian concluded that there was only one solution to crack this tough challenge: make Xiang Bo smarter.
