Chapter 1002: Qin Wentian’s Name
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian's faint voice rang out. The calmness in his tone seemed even more arrogant than his words of arrogance earlier.
The price of their actions...the Qi King Manor wouldn't be able to afford it?
What arrogance was this? The Qi King Manor was considered one of the most powerful in the Evergreen Immortal Empire. There were numerous immortal kings, and they just had to casually send out a group and they would be able to effortlessly dominate a region in the immortal realms.
The descendants of nobility down on the ground all froze as they stared at Qin Wentian. This banquet today, it can be considered that they finally fully recognized this person who Princess Qing`er is in love with. Incomparably brazen, exuding arrogance that towered up into the skies. When he goes crazy, he wouldn't spare anything and even daring to fight Immortal Foundation when he's only at Celestial Phenomenon, slashing the throat of Yang An with a single sword. What a terrifying character.
And now, even when facing against an immortal king, he didn't seem to be in a disadvantageous position. In fact, he rebutted the immortal king directly and that single sentence from him just offended the entire Qi King Manor.
All these descendants of nobility knew that they would never have such courage, nor such spirit.
The immortal king from the Qi King Manor stared at Qin Wentian with a pair of eyes that seemed as if they could see through everything. After that, he spoke, "Who are you exactly. From your words, are you saying that the person who sent you to the City of Ancient Emperors wasn't just an immortal king?"
"As to who it was, that has nothing to do with you. If you wish to know, you can investigate it yourself." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. It wasn't difficult for them to find information on people like the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. There should be many in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures who know about this. Even for the ordinary people in there should already know who the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was, after his battle with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
However, the immortal realms were truly too vast. The Evergreen Immortal Empire ultimately wasn't the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. The commotion he caused there might be titanic, but his fame wasn't enough for his actions to spread over here. Only those supreme top-tier existences like immortal emperors would be known throughout the immortal realms. Immortal kings didn't even have this qualifications because simply, in the entire immortal realms, there were too many immortal kings.
"Are you intentionally speaking in this manner, trying to make us second guess ourselves?" Mu Feng coldly asked.
Qin Wentian swept a glance at him, his eyes filled with an intense mockery. "You think I'm the same as you guys? Useless trash that only knows how to talk about statuses and depend on your elders. Other than this, what capabilities do you have? And let me tell you this, let alone descendants of nobilities, even personal disciples and descendants of immortal emperors have been killed by me before. If this was in the outside world, all of you would already be dead. I sincerely hope you all can remember this lesson, or all of you best be prepared to die young. Farewell."
After he spoke, Qin Wentian turned and left. Little Rascal followed beside him, and a human and demon slowly flew through the air, out of the Qi King Manor.
"Uncle, are we going to allow him to leave just like that?" Crown Prince Yang An had an ugly expression on his face as he spoke with reluctance.
"You want to kill him? Sure, go ahead then." The immortal king at the side icily glanced at Yang An, causing him to stiffen. That immortal king then impolitely continued, "You are at Immortal Foundation while he's at Celestial Phenomenon, yet you failed to kill him? What capabilities do you have to make him remain here? Could it be you want us immortal kings to act? Pardon me, I still know shame."
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and directly departed.
"ARGH!" Yang An screamed in impotent fury as he stared at the departing back of Qin Wentian. Shame, rage, resentment all rose in his heart. From today onwards, he was no longer that once illustrious #5 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings but was someone Qin Wentian nailed to the board of shame. Everyone would only remember him for the battle today, that an Immortal Foundation expert was narrowly killed by an ascendant. The humiliation of that single sword strike would follow him forever as long as he lived.
"If you want revenge, go and put in more effort in cultivation." A voice drifted over. Yang An clenched his fist, and those people who were present didn't say anything. They knew the immortal king wanted to use today's incident to spur Yang An on. It's either he be trapped by the heart demon, forever unable to advance a single step, or he go all out in the other direction, becoming crazed for improvement and grows stronger and stronger.
Today, this can be considered a sort of rude awakening for Yang An. Similarly for the rest of the people who attended the banquet.
So what if they are descendants of nobility? Even with so many of them, even with Immortal Foundation experts, they were humiliated by a single man. Qin Wentian alone created such chaos, turning the sky and earth topsy turvy, smacking all their faces.
For this banquet today, they became the contrast to Qin Wentian's brilliance, giving testament to Qing`er's judgement.
Why didn't Princess Qing`er choose the son of a king or marquis? She couldn't even be bothered to look at the crown prince of the Qi King Manor, yet she brought Qin Wentian to the royal palace? There were no other reasons but only one - Qin Wentian was more outstanding than any of them.
They wanted to humiliate Qin Wentian, making him retreat voluntarily upon knowing of the difficulties to pursue Qing`er. However, reality was reversed. The things that happened today would surely be branded deep in their hearts.
Naturally, Qin Wentian wouldn't be bothered to care about their feelings. He hugged Little Rascal in his embrace and left for Princess Changping's estate.
Princess Changping and her husband were waiting for him and smiles appeared in their eyes upon seeing his return.
"Awesome. Seems like the judgement of that lass Qing`er is truly not bad." Princess Changping smiled at Qin Wentian. Evidently, she knew everything that happened earlier. Not only her, many experts in the royal palace had all witnessed what happened with their immortal senses.
"I'm sure this battle would be sufficient to shut the mouths of many people. If they deemed you unworthy, their descendants would be even more unworthy to pursue Princess Qing`er." The Scarlet Eye Marquis laughed. Today, his horizons have truly been broadened. Usually, immortal kings like them would rarely care about matters of the junior generations, and wouldn't be interested to even hear about them. Even if fights broke out among the junior generations, they wouldn't be bothered.
But this incident of Qin Wentian and Qing`er had caused an earthquake of commotion in the royal palace, leading to many people observing it. Who would have thought that Qin Wentian gave them such a surprise, putting on such a good show. There were very very few juniors who could make immortals feel fascinated while watching them in combat.
"Marquis, thank you for the praise." Qin Wentian modestly spoke. Qing`er walked to his side. She stared at him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. "Little Rascal is injured though. That fellow Yang An actually attacked him."
Little Rascal stretched his neck out and pout its lips to Qing`er in an adorable manner. "Small injuries, no problem at all."
Qing`er rubbed the fur of the chubby Little Rascal while Princess Changping spoke, "What demonic beast is this little fellow exactly? It seems harmless, yet to think it's actually so tyrannical."
"Who knows?" Qin Wentian shrugged.
"Okay, we won't disturb the two of you any further. After this matter, you guys should be able to enjoy some peace and quiet." Princess Changping and the Scarlet Eye Marquis left, while Qing`er and Qin Wentian returned to their courtyard.
The royal palace was buffeted by huge waves of commotion. Several kings and marquises started to investigate in depth about Qin Wentian.
He said that he has even killed the disciples and descendants of immortal emperors before. Was this true? Who was this Qin Wentian exactly?
In the royal palace, there were some opinions that started to sway towards Qin Wentian. Yang An has thrown away the face of his Qi King Manor, and no wonder Princess Qing`er would choose Qin Wentian. Clearly, these descendants of nobility were all inferior when compared to Qin Wentian.
Such voices from the public made those descendants who previously targeted Qin Wentian to feel the burning sensation of shame on their faces.
A few days later, various information about Qin Wentian was circulated around the royal palace. Qin Wentian's background was easy to investigate. His experiences in the immortal realms were very simple, yet he had accomplished a few earth-shaking events.
Within the royal palace, the sound of Qin Wentian's name was everywhere.
So it turned out that Qin Wentian wasn't merely so brazen only at the Qi King Manor. Before this, in the past, he had been even more arrogant before.
Qin Wentian participated in the hundred-year immortal banquet recruitment event of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. He defeated all his opponents and obtained the #1 ranking but at that time, he and his junior apprentice brother actually rejected the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to take them as disciples, smacking his face in public.
So it turns out that Qin Wentian truly had an immortal emperor at his back. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord went to the immortal banquet to fetch Qin Wentian and fought a great battle with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, requesting ownership of six of the thirteen prefectures.
In addition, this was not all. It's also rumored that when Qin Wentian was in the City of Ancient Emperors, he killed the personal disciple of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, Que Tianyi, who was also a descendant of the Scarce Moon Immortal King. Not only that, he even killed the son of the Xuan Emperor, Xuan Xing; defeated the then #1 ranker, Zi Daoyang who was the son of the Violet Emperor.
Qin Wentian's achievements could only be described as radiant. It was sufficient to cause any descendant of nobility in any immortal empire to feel far inferior to him. Just like what Qin Wentian said when he attended the banquet at the Qi King Manor. Who do these people think they are? If this was in the outside world, he definitely would dare to kill them.
Yang An and Mu Feng. After they received the news, they felt even more ashamed and resentful. As for those targeting Qin Wentian at the banquet, they felt so ashamed that they couldn't even show their faces. What qualifications did they have to insult and humiliate Qin Wentian?
What do the descendants of nobility even count for?
"Although his Majesty didn't express his agreement to allow Qin Wentian to stay in Princess Qing`er's estate, he also didn't express his disapproval when Princess Qing`er and Qin Wentian stayed in Princess Changping's residence. Could it be that his Majesty is still contemplating?" Everyone started to guess the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's intentions. Maybe, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was waiting. In the future, after Qin Wentian became stronger, there was a high possibility that he would agree to the issue of Qin Wentian pursuing Qing`er.
"So, Qin Wentian actually has the possibility to become the prince consort. We can't offend him." Several of the kings and marquises were all thinking of this. It wasn't all the nobles that were against him, back then at the banquet held at the Qi King Manor, that was merely a portion of them.
Also, the squabbles of juniors couldn't represent the attitude of the kings and marquises. To them, Qin Wentian's cultivation base was still low. There was no need for them to interact with him yet.
In Princess Changping's estate, within the library, Qin Wentian and Qing`er were there flipping through ancient books and scrolls. They wanted to read about the experiences of some seniors when they were establishing their Immortal Foundation to broaden their knowledge. Only then would their confidence in establishing an Immortal Foundation be higher.
Qing`er was doing the same as Qin Wentian. She was also preparing to break through. In fact, the time she spent at the peak of the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon was even longer in comparison, making her cultivation base even more stable.
"Big Sister Qing`er, Big Brother Wentian!" At this moment, a melodious voice rang out as a beautiful figure walked into the library.
"Ling`er." Qin Wentian nodded at the person who just came in. Ling`er was only 15 and was quick-witted with a bubbly nature. She was none other than the youngest daughter of Princess Changping.
"Big brother Qin, this is what you wanted. Mother asked me to pass it to you." Ling`er handed over an interspatial ring to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian took it and smiled, "Ling`er, help me thank your mother for this."
"All these were exchanged fairly by you with immortal-ranked weapons, there's no need for any thanks. Big brother Qin, you requested all these, are you preparing to establish your Immortal Foundation? Given how awesome you are, you would be sure to succeed in a single try." Ling`er smiled.
"I hope so too," Qin Wentian glanced at Qing`er only to hear Qing`er speaking in a low voice, "Are you preparing for closed-door seclusion?"
"Mhm. I have no idea how long it would take for me to break through to Immortal Foundation. And if I succeed, the time of my seclusion would probably last even longer. How about you Qing`er?"
"If you enter closed-door seclusion, I will do the same as well." Qing`er mumbled in a low voice. Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded. Now, the royal palace has already quieted down. Nobody would find trouble for him any longer. In that case, he might as well attempt to break through here in the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire!
