Yang Yongqi stared at Qi Tian’s face for a long while before slowly saying, “Qi Tian, you really have some clever tricks up your sleeve. It seems that I have underestimated you. I must admit, I’m impressed; you’ve made me realize that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. There are still some things in this world that you and I cannot resolve at the moment. But don’t be too pleased with yourself just yet. Your disguise might deceive others, but it can’t fool me. Although I can’t expose you and reveal your true face right now, it doesn’t matter. I will find a new way to break it down, and I will definitely tear apart your facade.”

Qi Tian replied, “Commander Yang, you might be disappointed, as I’ve told you, this appearance of mine is my real face. What is there to uncover about a real face? Of course, if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Yang Yongqi chuckled and said, “Having confidence is good, but I’m afraid some people keep telling lies, and sooner or later they start believing their own lies. I hope you’re not that kind of person. Enough of this, I have another matter to discuss with you. My Prince has a verbal decree for you. The Prince says that the gates of Chaoyang Palace are always open to you. Whenever you have time, feel free to visit Chaoyang Palace. Moreover, if you find your position at Jianwu Palace unsatisfactory, you can also come to our Chaoyang Palace. When that time comes, the Prince should be able to arrange a very nice job for you. If you manage to cheer up the Prince, perhaps he will treat you like his disciple, and nurture you with all his resources.”

Qi Tian hastily responded, “I’m deeply flattered by Emperor Chaoyang’s favor, and I am anxious with gratitude. Please convey my thanks to Emperor Chaoyang on my behalf, Commander Yang. However, I’m afraid I must disappoint Emperor Chaoyang with his generous favor as both the Prince and the Princess hold me in high regard, and the Prince has even hired me as an offering master, taking care of all my necessities. I am eternally grateful for the kindness of the Prince and dare not abandon it.”

Yang Yongqi nodded and said, “To know gratitude and seek to repay it is indeed a good habit. Well, just keep what I’ve said in mind; it may come in handy in the future. Whenever you come around, feel free to find me, and I will introduce you to our Prince.”

At this moment, Su Jinghan approached and said, “Commander Yang, thank you for stepping in to help us drive away Li Mijia just now. We remember this favor and will definitely repay it.”

Yang Yongqi glanced at Su Jinghan and said, “Eunuch Su, do you need me to accompany you and Qi Tian to Chaoyang Palace?”

Su Jinghan deeply distrusted Yang Yongqi and was always on guard around him. He quickly said, “It would be too much to ask for Commander Yang’s esteemed presence. Fortunately, it’s not much farther to Chaoyang Palace from here, I can manage to take Qi Tian by myself.”

Without insisting further, Yang Yongqi stepped aside, made way, and gestured with his hand inviting them to proceed.

Su Jinghan didn’t say much. Holding a folding fan, he bowed toward Yang Yongqi and then continued walking forward with Qi Tian.

Qi Tian quickly followed suit, remembering the words Su Jinghan had said to him just moments ago, keeping the distance between them within three steps. Now Qi Tian had no more tricks up his sleeve. If someone similar to Li Mijia were to appear again, apart from using the flying sword left behind by Master Ming Ren, Qi Tian had no other means to stop them.

When Su Jinghan took Qi Tian out of Prince Manor, he was holding a whisk, which was more of a decorative item. Although it also had some attacking power, it was useless against a master like Li Mijia. Having learned from this experience, Su Jinghan no longer held a whisk but instead a folding fan, a combat weapon of Half-step Nascent Soul level. Moreover, the fan was kept open, and the Fire Crow painted on it seemed as if it could come to life and fly out at Su Jinghan’s summon at any moment.

Su Jinghan intended to use this as a deterrent to ward off any covetous eyes around him, signaling that if anyone dared to make a move on Qi Tian as Li Mijia did, he would not hesitate to strike, unleashing the Fire Crow without mercy.

Indeed, Su Jinghan’s move effectively deterred many. In addition, he had already embarked on Jianwu Street with Qi Tian, Jianwu Palace was right in front of their eyes, and with Yang Yongqi, a significant figure, standing not far off with his arms behind his back, watching the backs of Qi Tian and Su Jinghan, it was unclear whose side Yang Yongqi was on. If he were protecting Qi Tian, ensuring his entrance into Jianwu Palace, their chances of succeeding were none.

All these factors combined resulted in several groups lying in wait not making their move, merely watching with frustration as Su Jinghan escorted Qi Tian to the gates of Jianwu Palace.

Outside the gates of Jianwu Palace, numerous cultivators were waiting, including some from the Gold Core Realm. When they saw Su Jinghan walking over with Qi Tian, all of them stepped forward to greet him, each displaying a sycophantic smile without exception.
