”No need, I’ll wait here, don’t disturb her.”

Qin Tian whispered, drinking tea, instead starting to relax and rest.

He waited in the living room, waited until nearly noon, and Gongsun San Niang still hadn’t appeared.

Qin Tian felt strange, faintly hearing unusual sounds from the hall not far away, even sensing a slight gathering of killing intent.

He slightly expanded his divine sense to listen carefully.

”Family Head Gongsun, you must think clearly. You can refuse me, but you should know who I represent? If Emperor Xuan learns you won’t cooperate with us, I’m afraid your Gongsun family won’t remain in the Imperial City!”

A man’s voice, with a threatening tone.

Gongsun San Niang calmly replied, ”Lord Cao, our Gongsun family has always stayed out of politics. If you need dance performances, we can provide them. But training our Gongsun family’s girls to become your espionage Death Soldiers is absolutely impossible. As Family Head, I must take responsibility for the Gongsun family, so my answer is clear: this matter is impossible.”

”Heh, Gongsun San Niang, don’t refuse a toast only to drink punishment wine!”

The man snorted coldly, ”The claim that the Gongsun family stays out of politics, do you think I don’t know what Gongsun Da Niang and Gongsun Er Niang used to do? Don’t act sanctimonious after being dissolute!”

”Lord Cao, I must disagree with you saying that. Since I have things to attend to, I won’t accompany you any longer. Feel free to leave.”

Gongsun San Niang and Lord Cao talked for half the day, ultimately ending in disagreement.

Gongsun San Niang leaving the hall, heard Lord Cao threaten, ”Gongsun San Niang, you will regret your decision today! Just wait!”

Lord Cao left furiously, extremely arrogant.

Gongsun San Niang’s expression was solemn, a look of concern on her face, as she prepared to go to the back courtyard.

At this moment, a maid came up and quietly informed her of a distinguished guest’s arrival.

The maid didn’t know how to address Qin Tian, but after some description, Gongsun San Niang knew it was Qin Tian and immediately showed a smile.

Dismissing the maid, Gongsun San Niang directly entered the living room, seeing Qin Tian, she smiled gracefully and said, ”Young Master... no, Your Majesty, congratulations on ascending the throne!”

”I originally planned to come to West Capital City, but they watch too closely here, thinking it over, there was no way to come, I ask Your Majesty to forgive me.”

She said, bowing slightly to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian helped her up and said, ”San Niang, no need for formalities, please continue to call me Young Master, this title is not suitable in the Imperial City.”

In fact, on the day Qin Tian ascended the throne, he received a secret message from Gongsun San Niang, both congratulating him and sending a Spirit Blood Jade Stone from the northern snowfields as a gift, a very courteous gesture.

”Young Master, why come at this time? Your status is different now, coming personally is too dangerous.”

Like others, Gongsun San Niang still worried about Qin Tian’s safety.

Qin Tian confidently said, ”In this Spiritual Domain, few can harm me now, furthermore I concealed my aura and changed my appearance, safety is not a concern.”

”So why have you come personally this time, Young Master?”

”Firstly, to see the situation in the Imperial City, hearing alone isn’t reliable, seeing is believing. Secondly, I’m planning to discuss cooperation with Long Yin; the tripartite power structure has formed, I need Long Yin’s help...”

As Qin Tian said this, he recalled the conversation between Lord Cao and Gongsun San Niang earlier, and asked, ”What exactly is that Lord Cao doing, trying to turn your Gongsun family into their spies?”

”Young Master heard it?”

Gongsun San Niang replied, pursing her lips, ”That Lord Cao, named Cao Shixun, is a commander in the Dragon Slayer Department, responsible for intelligence gathering and related matters.”

”He knows our Gongsun family has connections with various powerful houses in major cities of the Tianyuan Dynasty, so he wants to develop the whole Gongsun family into a branch of the Dragon Slayer Department, turning the girls of the Gongsun family into espionage Death Soldiers.”

Gongsun San Niang stared at Qin Tian, saying, ”Of course, I will not agree.”

Qin Tian sneered upon hearing this, ”This Dragon Slayer Department is quite confident.”

Gongsun San Niang said, ”Before, Gongsun Da Niang and Gongsun Er Niang occasionally acted as spies for some nobles. This time, Cao Shixun might have come with orders from Emperor Xuan, very arrogant.”

”I rejected him this time, I’m afraid the Dragon Slayer Department will retaliate soon.”

Speaking of this, Gongsun San Niang’s face showed subtle worry.

Speaking of Imperial City, the organization currently with the most power and strength is the Dragon Slayer Department.

Having merged with the Soul Suppressing Hall, the Dragon Slayer Department is Emperor Xuan’s claw, clearing dissidents, committing all manners of evil; the people in the Imperial City are in fear and trembling.

Gongsun San Niang told Qin Tian about the recent actions of the Dragon Slayer Department, and Qin Tian strongly agreed.

”They will retaliate, but likely won’t act harshly soon, they will mainly use various matters to pressure you to comply and obey.”

Qin Tian said, ”This, we must guard against.”

”Before you came, Young Master, I was very worried. Now that you’ve come, I’m not worried at all.”

Gongsun San Niang gazed intently at Qin Tian, her face showing Wu Mei’s expression.

Seeing her coquettish demeanor, Qin Tian couldn’t help but reach out and gently pinch Gongsun San Niang’s charming cheek, saying, ”Haha, now that I’ve come, you’re relieved, right? Since I’m here, I also want to deal with the Dragon Slayer Department, let’s do it together.”

”Young Master, how do you plan to deal with it?”

”I’ll first go find Long Yin. If the Dragon Slayer Department wants to get tough, I will be tougher than them.”

Gongsun San Niang arranged a secluded courtyard for Qin Tian to reside, and on the second day, Qin Tian went directly to visit the Fourteenth Prince.

Undoubtedly, the residence outside the palace of the Fourteenth Prince also had numerous spies watching at this time. Disguised Qin Tian did not enter lightly but waited until evening when the Fourteenth Prince returned, secretly conveying a message with True Qi, causing the Fourteenth Prince to stop in his tracks.

Having seen Qin Tian’s disguised appearance before, he recognized him immediately.

The Fourteenth Prince didn’t return to the residence under the gaze of the spies but met with Qin Tian, escaping the spies together, arriving at a dilapidated house in an alley within the Imperial City.

”At this time, you actually came to the Imperial City and sought me out...”

In the dim wooden cabin, the Fourteenth Prince looked at Qin Tian and smiled faintly, ”As I expected, you ultimately ascended the throne as emperor.”
