The King of Wu emerged from behind the screen. Qin Tian, curious at this moment, looked up and finally saw the appearance of the King of Wu.

This was an elder who looked only fifty or sixty years old, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, hair and beard all white, exuding an unfathomable majesty between his brows.

He directly looked at Qin Tian, then Qin Tian was stunned, his eyes dodged and lowered.

To confront such a significant figure, his inner thoughts could very well be discerned by him.

”Are you Qin Tian?” The King of Wu sat down on a chair outside the screen.

Qin Tian faced him, lowered his head.

”Yes, Your Highness,” Qin Tian responded.

”Raise your head.”

Qin Tian then raised his head and finally met the gaze of the King of Wu.

Aura!

Such a powerful aura!

Just by meeting the King of Wu’s eyes, Qin Tian’s heart tightened, feeling as if all his thoughts could be seen through in an instant.

At this moment, the King of Wu was overwhelmingly powerful in front of Qin Tian, who didn’t hesitate to lower his head.

”Sure enough, you have an extraordinary presence. I am aware of your merits in the East State. Very impressive, at the time of utter defeat in the East State, you turned the tide, snatching the meat from the Dragon Clan’s mouth. In this respect, there’s no doubt you’re a great merit to the Tianyuan Dynasty.”

As the King of Wu spoke, two eunuchs had already set the table and benches in the living room, serving all kinds of exquisite food.

These foods were no ordinary meals; each dish had Cultivation Immortality herbs added, so eating a meal was like undergoing a cultivation session.

This was something Qin Tian had heard of in the East Capital City, and he thought, no wonder the people of the Imperial City were extraordinary, for others were cultivating and supplementing while eating, how could one compete?

Of course, a meal like this would cost anywhere from twenty to thirty thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, sometimes even more than a hundred thousand, which ordinary people couldn’t afford.

For example, the City Lord of East Capital City, Nangong Minghua, originally emulated drinking water in the Imperial City, but his meal, though costing one or two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, was not very effective.

”Have something to eat? Sit down, let’s talk while eating.”

The King of Wu sat down, said.

Qin Tian responded and sat down. It was his first time attending such a high-end banquet.

”I told you to sit, and you sat?”

Just as Qin Tian sat on the chair, the King of Wu’s words caused him to tremble all over, then he stood up respectfully: ”I apologize, Your Highness!”

Despite saying this, Qin Tian was simply furious inside!

Damn, are you deliberately messing with me again?

Earlier, pretending to sleep made me stand for several hours, and now, messing with me again?!

”Very well. I let you sit, and you sit... I didn’t feel you were disrespectful in any way.”

The King of Wu began eating, moved his chopsticks, and said, ”Sit down.”

This time Qin Tian didn’t move: ”Your Highness, I’m not hungry.”

The King of Wu looked up: ”I let you sit, and you won’t sit?”

Hiss!

Qin Tian, annoyed, gritted his teeth, but he also knew the King of Wu was watching him to avoid being seen through, Qin Tian had to endure, maintaining a calm expression, nodding: ”Your Highness let me sit, I’ll follow the order.”

Having said that, Qin Tian hardened his heart and sat down.

Anyway, he couldn’t contend with the King of Wu now, this old fellow could do as he pleased!

The King of Wu invited Qin Tian to eat together. Qin Tian felt a bit uneasy, symbolically taking a few bites of dishes, then listened to the King of Wu’s teachings.

The King of Wu seemed not to mind, talking about each dish’s name and explaining its effects to Qin Tian after consumption.

Qin Tian knew this old fellow wouldn’t just introduce food, so he half-heartedly responded, cautiously trying not to reveal any flaws.

Previously, when facing the Ice Emperor in the Imperial Palace, Qin Tian already felt quite uneasy.

Unexpectedly, facing the King of Wu now was even more uncomfortable than eating shit!

”Is this your first time in the Imperial City?”

Finally, the King of Wu began to touch on the main topic.

Qin Tian nodded: ”Yes.”

”Living in the Imperial City is not easy; it’s the same for everyone. Even though you’re now a Second Grade official, it’s still the same.”

”Hmm.”

Qin Tian was now economical with words, regardless of what the King of Wu said, he either replied with ”Hmm,” ”Yes,” ”Your Highness is right,” or ”I’ll remember.”

”Regarding you killing Zhao Tuo in the East Capital City, do you have anything to say?”

”Your Highness said...”

Suddenly, Qin Tian opened his mouth to respond, but halfway through, he felt a jolt.

Looking up, sure enough, he saw the King of Wu looking at him with a peculiar gaze!

This gaze made Qin Tian exceedingly apprehensive!

”In the Imperial City, the Zhao Family is a noble. You eliminated Zhao Tuo’s entire household in the East Capital City; do you realize the fury of the Zhao Family in the Imperial City?”

Qin Tian pursed his lips: ”I was unaware, Your Highness.”

”Hmph!”

The King of Wu coldly snorted, ”If I hadn’t intervened to suppress it, could you have safely reached the Imperial City? You’d likely have been completely annihilated by the Zhao Family’s people halfway here!”

”Thank you, Your Highness, for your assistance!”

Qin Tian expressed gratitude outwardly, but internally he thought: ”You guessed correctly, someone did attempt to kill me halfway!”

”Since Your Highness assisted me, you must be aware of the reason. It was Zhao Tuo who was too overbearing, destroying my entire household first...”

”But he’s a noble, and you’re not.”

Before Qin Tian could finish speaking, the King of Wu interrupted directly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was startled.

The two locked eyes again.

”Your Highness, do you mean nobles can disregard the law and do as they please?” Qin Tian asked seriously.

The King of Wu’s mouth moved slightly, saying: ”What do you say? If the Zhao Family came to your house and killed you, how do you think I’d handle it?”

Qin Tian: ”...”

The King of Wu: ”Life and death aren’t for you or the Zhao Family to decide. Law, whose law, you comprehend it yourself...”

While speaking, the King of Wu noticed Qin Tian’s expression was off and continued: ”Qin Tian, you’re far away in the East State, thinking that just because you achieved merit, you can come to the Imperial City and take the powerful position of East Gate Commander?”

”There are many who have achieved merit in this world. Besides the East State, there are dozens of generals in the West State and South State. Why you? Not only were you promoted to East Gate Commander, but you also served as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Second Grade?”

Qin Tian was taken aback, saying: ”All thanks to the King of Wu’s promotion, I’m extremely grateful!”

Having said this, he rose to his feet and bowed deeply.

”You owe it to the King of Wu for your current position.”

The King of Wu remained seated, unmoving, and while eating, he said to the standing Qin Tian: ”Knowing gratitude is good. But the King of Wu hopes you fulfill your duties as the East Gate Commander loyally. Do you know whom you should listen to and whom you shouldn’t?”

The King of Wu cast a glance, and Qin Tian was suddenly struck—

After saying so much, this was the old fellow’s main point!
