Chapter 25: The Great Yang Symbol (Seeking to Receive and Seeking to Push)

  Zi Bei hugged his arms, half-closing his eyes to size up the Marquis of Lanling. He knew who he was and roughly guessed at his motives.

  Only, in Qi Bei's memory, he didn't know much about the Marquis of Lanling, but he knew that this person was extremely arrogant and didn't even put the Nuo De family or Emperor Hanmo in his eyes.

  Abnormal must be strange! Qi Bei is not the same as before, in the Golden Leaf Imperial Court, even the Nuo De family and the royal family have some scruples about this Lanling Hou, then his background will not be simple.

  "Be careful, come, let me taste your flavor." The Lanling Hou didn't even bother with the two guards who were lying on the ground screaming in agony, and transformed into a powder-like shadow that rushed towards Jinguang.

  Jin Gang let out a loud roar, his arm muscles bulging, and his fist as big as a bowl pierced through the shadow of Lanling Hou.

  Did I hit it?

  In an instant, Jin Gang only felt a pain in his buttocks, and his huge body flew up, falling forward in a dog-eating-shit manner.

  Zi Bei moved, taking two steps to reach Jin Gang's side, his arm grasping at his waist, using a clever force to pull his body back.

  "Old rabbit, the chrysanthemum is itching, right? In our Nuo De family, we have raised two giant sun elephants. If I, the young master, didn't reluctantly part with them, I'd send them to you to explode the chrysanthemum. How about that?" Qi Bei smiled brightly, and patted Jin Gang's arm, signaling him not to act rashly again. He had already figured it out - even if this Lan Ling Hou hadn't condensed his energy into a dan to become an Earth-grade warrior, he was probably not far off. This kind of expert wasn't someone that he and Jin Gang could currently handle.

  The Marquis of Lanling's eyes revealed a murderous intent. Although he was fond of handsome men, being called an old rabbit by the northerners still enraged him.

  "You little trash, I heard you had a strange encounter in the Mountains of the Dead. Let me take your measure." As soon as Langling Hou finished speaking, his small hands suddenly turned into claws and struck at Qi Bei's neck out of thin air.

  Zi Bei stood still, his neck stretched out in a posture as if waiting to be slaughtered.

  The claw of the Lanling Marquis paused for a moment just as it was about to touch Qi Bei's neck. Qi Bei was the legitimate son of the Nuo De family, and while he could be disrespectful towards the Nuo De family in his words, he didn't have the guts to kill their legitimate son.

  But just like that, the Marquis of Lanling suddenly sensed danger and retreated swiftly, like a pink butterfly.

  A streak of dark lightning flashed by, and Langling Hou steadied himself, a strand of hair fluttering down in front of his eyes.

  Unfortunately, the dark passage to the north was cut off, and he withdrew his hand holding the black sword. Unexpectedly, it only shaved off a strand of his hair, which was somewhat unsatisfying. In his opinion, if he could see some blood, it would be perfect. To kill him, he knew that with his current strength, it was impossible, unless...

  But then, the Marquis of Lanling saw the fallen hair and the carefully painted eyes suddenly turned red, just like Qi Bei had killed his mother.

  Zi Bei's whole body suddenly tensed up, he could see that Lanling Hou had really made up his mind to kill him.

  "Hmm"

  At this moment, a cold hum suddenly came over, and the killing intent that Lanling Hou had locked onto Qi Bei was immediately dispersed.

  The red-eyed Langling Marquis slowly regained consciousness, glanced at the crowd watching behind Qi Bei, and turned to leave.

  Zi Bei let out a breath of relief, his back slightly damp, the killing intent from a peak Wang Pin warrior was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

  Qin Bei looked back and saw that the person who had just driven away Lang Ling Hou with a cold hum was unknown, perhaps it was a master of the Nuo De family.

  "Let's go, Jingang." Qi Bei said calmly, with a tight fist in his left hand, an image of a divine dragon was roaring upwards.

  He also had murderous intentions towards Lanling Hou.

  The princess of Mingyue withdrew her gaze from the building across the street, seemingly lost in thought.

  "Mingyue, it seems that this young husband of yours has undergone a transformation in the Mountains of the Dead. To be able to cut off the hair of the Lord of Lanling, there may not be anyone else in the imperial capital who can do it." Feng Ruoyun said with a faint smile.

  "He's deceitful, the Duke of Lanling didn't have the heart to kill him, but he had the intention to kill the Duke of Lanling. A cornered rabbit can still bite back." Princess Mingyue raised her wine cup and took a light sip.

  "Yes, he's a trickster. His strength is probably only that of an intermediate warrior, but in this imperial capital, who dares to harbor murderous intentions towards him when facing the Lord of Lanling?" Feng Ruoyun gazed at Princess Mingyue.

  Princess Mingyue and Feng Ruoyun locked eyes, two stunning beauties with extraordinary wisdom, yet each had their own sharp wit.

  The wind and rain looked at each other, looking at this one and that one, somewhat puzzled, how did these two close friends end up with their swords drawn against each other.

  After a while, Princess Mingyue and Feng Ruoyun smiled at the same time, and the topic shifted, with perfect tacit understanding.

  ……

  ……

  Zi Bei didn't return to the Nuo De family but instead went to the beast courtyard where the family domesticated various magical beasts.

  "Master Wu, the Young Master." The Beast Garden's steward came over to greet him with respect. Regardless of what others thought of Qi Bei, he was the legitimate young master of the Nuo De family, and this superficial courtesy had to be shown.

  "Are those two giant sun bears still there?" asked Qi Bei.

  "They are still here, but these two giant elephants have grown up and will need some time to be tamed." said the manager.

  "Take me there," Qi Bei ordered.

  "Yes, Fifth Master." The steward led the way forward, but he felt a bit strange in his heart. Just now, Qi Bei's few words had actually made him feel suffocated, and he mechanically carried out his orders.

  A two-headed, two-zhang-tall giant elephant was locked in a huge iron cage, with the two sharp tusks at its mouth corners fiercely pushing against the cage, trying to break out.

  The Juyangxiang is a fourth-order beast with comprehensive attack and defense capabilities, its price is not low, on the market it starts at least tens of thousands of gold coins per head, if it's well-trained, it will cost twice as much.

  Qī Běi's gaze turned towards the giant sun symbol, and that huge thing suddenly let out an evil laugh.

  "Open the door." Qi Bei said.

  "Master Wu, these two giant sun elephants have not been successfully domesticated yet. Although this iron cage has a magic array that restricts their use of innate magic, their physical attacks are also extremely formidable." Manager Chi said hesitantly, if anything went wrong with Qi Bei, he would be held accountable.

  "I'm afraid of death, do you think I'd joke about my own life? Open the door." Qi Bei's gaze condensed, staring at this manager.

  He trembled in his heart and took out a specially made key to open a small door at the bottom of the iron cage.

  As soon as Ziqi walked into the courtyard, something shocking happened. The two ferocious and restless giant sun elephants suddenly became quiet after Ziqi entered.

  Zi Bei sprang up and mounted one of the giant sun elephants, stroking its large ears with his hand. He then jumped onto the other giant sun elephant and did the same, muttering something to himself as if comforting them.

  The servant looked stunned, thinking to himself, could it be that Qi Bei actually has the ability of a communication demon beast? Only disciples from one of the five sacred places, the Yu Shou Villa, are said to possess this skill.

  Not long after, Qi Bei walked out again. As soon as he did, the two quiet giant elephants became violent once more.

  "You, send these two giant sun bears to the mansion of the Duke of Lanling." Qi Bei ordered the steward.

  "Master Fifth, this..."

  "You can send me away if you want, I'll go talk to Father myself." Qi Bei's gaze swept over the steward, his voice cold.

  "Yes, Fifth Master." The steward felt a chill run down his spine under Qi Bei's gaze and didn't dare to say another word.
