The Tianlan Relic was about to descend. The people from the Commandery Prince's Mansion had arrived at Luxi County City a day ago to search for that mysterious opportunity.
Xiang Qianxun received news about Xi Qianye as soon as she arrived at Luxi County City. She had planned to visit Xi Qianye at the Warspear Academy after the Tianlan Relic incident was over. However, she did not expect him to have returned to his hometown.
Moreover, he had stirred up such a huge commotion as soon as he returned to Luxi County City. He had even gotten into a huge conflict with the Commandery Governor's Mansion.
She knew Xi Qianye's character very well. Since he said that he had ten days, he would stick to it. He would definitely go to the Commandery Governor's Mansion by then.
"Xi Qianye, you mustn't go to the Commandery Governor's Mansion. The Commandery Governor's Mansion is full of powerful people now. Almost half of the top forces in the Xiling Nation are there. Those forces will definitely side with the Commandery Governor's Mansion in order to obtain some secrets about the Tianlan Relic," Xiang Qianxun said anxiously.
Xi Qianye would be humiliating himself if he went to the Commandery Governor's Mansion at this time. Moreover, there was no news about the people from the Warspear Academy arriving at Luxi County City. Xi Qianye was too weak to fight against those top forces in the country.
"Princess Qianxun, please go back," Xi Qianye said calmly.
"Are … are you stupid?" Xiang Qianxun's eyes were filled with anxiety. She was very upset.
"I'm not stupid. Some people are just digging their own graves.
As a friend, thank you for your concern. However, I can't change my decision. "
Xi Qianye smiled faintly. He walked past Xiang Qianxun and headed to the Commandery Governor's Mansion.
"Why don't you know how to be patient?
No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than half of the Xiling Nation?
Revenge is a dish best served cold. What's wrong with bowing down once? "
Princess Qianxun stared at Xi Qianye's back in disbelief.
At the Ninth Heaven Restaurant, he offended all the Quasi-Saints in the country with a single sentence. However, he did not back down. Even when he was attacked, he still did what he wanted.
Now, he was the same. He didn't know how to turn back.
Xi Qianye stopped in his tracks and said lightly, "Since you have doubts, then let me tell you. In the eyes of Xi Qianye, no one can make me bend my back, at least not in the Xiling Kingdom.
They are the ones who should be afraid, not me. "
Xiang Chihaya stared at Xi Qianye in disbelief. She had never seen such an arrogant person before.
There were rumors of madmen in the world, but it was rare to see such a madman.
"Ye 'er, Mother will go with you."
On the street, a woman in plain clothes stood quietly at the end of the street, looking at Xi Qianye with watery eyes.
It was He Xiuniang.
As Xi Qianye's concubine, she naturally wasn't as ignorant as Xi Xiaoxin. She knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Therefore, she didn't bother with the matters of the Chamber of Commerce and returned home early to wait for Xi Qianye.
She could not change Ye 'er's decision. The only thing she could do was to accompany him.
As a woman, she could only do so much.
"Alright!"
Xi Qianye looked at He Xiuniang's calm eyes and nodded slightly. He then held her arm and walked forward.
Xiang Chihaya stared at their backs in shock.
Crazy!
Both of them were crazy!
She stomped her foot and chased after them after a moment of hesitation.
…
The Prefectural Governor's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It was bustling with noise and excitement.
There were many guests in front of the mansion, and celebrities were everywhere. It was a spectacular sight.
The eldest son of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, Sun Binran, was personally waiting at the door to welcome the guests. He was beaming with excitement and looked radiant.
Ever since the Chen family was established, they had never been so glamorous. It was a grand occasion!
"The distinguished guests of the Martial Imperial Mansion have arrived. Young Prince Xiang Guangxi, please come in …"
"The Prefectural Governor's Mansion has arrived. Welcome, welcome."
"The Seventeenth Prince, Xiang Guangxi, has arrived. Your Highness, please come in."
…
The announcement of the guests' arrival was heard all the time. It was a grand occasion for a prestigious family to hold a banquet.
The newspaper workers in Luxi County City squatted outside the Prefectural Governor's Mansion in groups of three to five. They were taking note of the number of dignitaries who had arrived. The news was quickly spread throughout the county as soon as it was released.
"It's quite lively here."
Xi Qianye held his concubine's hand and looked at the bustling Prefectural Governor's Mansion with a sneer.
"Xi Qianye!
That's Xi Qianye … "
"Oh my god, Xi Qianye … He really came to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion …"
"That's impossible. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? He still dares to come …"
…
The newspaper workers squatting outside the Prefectural Governor's Mansion looked at Xi Qianye as if they had seen a ghost.
Someone who should never have appeared had appeared!
Everyone immediately thought of the ten-day deadline that Xi Qianye had mentioned at Jianghua Restaurant ten days ago.
However, ever since the Prefectural Governor's Mansion rose to prominence and became the trendsetter of the entire Xiling Kingdom, no one dared to challenge the ten-day deadline. Even a fool knew that they could not provoke the Prefectural Governor's Mansion at this time.
No matter what anger, grievance, unwillingness, or anger one felt … one had to bow their heads in front of the irresistible power of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
"Big news, big news!
Xi Qianye actually came for the appointment … "
"Quick, quickly write a draft and send it back to the newspaper office immediately."
"Damn it, there are actually people in this world who are not afraid of death.
Damn it, I didn't prepare any draft and had to write on the spot. I can't fall behind others for such big news. "
…
The newspaper workers all seemed to have gone crazy. They took out pens and paper and wrote furiously.
Soon, the news spread from their hands to Luxi County City.
In less than fifteen minutes, news about Xi Qianye was everywhere. More than half of the citizens of Luxi County City knew that Xi Qianye had gone to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion for the appointment.
"What, Xi Qianye really went to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion for the appointment?"
The members of the Xi Family were shocked. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. What was Xi Qianye thinking? Had he lost his mind?
Deep inside the Xi Family's ancestral home, the prayer beads slipped out of Ancestor Xi's hand. He stood frozen on the spot, lost in his thoughts.
"Haha, Xi Qianye, oh Xi Qianye, you don't know when to stop. One day, you will play yourself to death. I'll wait for that day to come."
Xi Zekun's eldest son, Xi Zhenchong, laughed maniacally. His eyes were filled with hatred.
Inside the South Feather Sect, the atmosphere was strange. Some were gloating, some were shocked, and some were secretly regretting …
That insufferably arrogant young man who had suppressed their sects to the point of suffocation was ultimately showing off too much.
The Prefectural Governor's Mansion not only represented Luxi County but the entire Xi Ling Country.
No matter how strong you are!
You can't be stronger than a country!
Unless the representative of the Warspear Academy comes to the County City and is willing to stand behind you, you're asking for death.
"I'll go to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion."
