Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1637 - 1641: The Second Most Powerful Figure in the Imperial City

After standing at Lintian Palace for half an hour, Qin Tian walked out from inside.

This time, although Qin Tian had an audience with the Ice Emperor, he didn't see the Ice Emperor's face.

Nevertheless, inside his heart, waves were stirring like a storm.

In half an hour, apart from praising Qin Tian, the Ice Emperor mostly talked about loyalty, and to whom one should be loyal.

In every word and deed, the Ice Emperor hinted to Qin Tian that he should be loyal to him, and not to anyone else!

Isn't it a matter of course that a subject should be loyal to His Majesty? Does it still need personal reminders from the Emperor?

But this reminder made Qin Tian understand some truths.

"Hmph, it seems that the Ice Emperor, who once killed Long Jun, and settled the world, summoning wind and rain, is not a single-handedly all-powerful figure able to control everything."

Qin Tian said coldly in his heart, with a hint of smugness in his mind.

Cao Taiji's dying words were that his father was Long Jun! The Ice Emperor was the one who killed his father!

For this reason alone, Qin Tian was pleased to see the Ice Emperor in trouble, hoping one day to capture him, carrying the glory of Long Jun, and exacting revenge!

"Thinking about this now is still too far off. Not to mention overthrowing the Ice Emperor, even his several sons and that Wu Wang, I cannot match any one of them, and I still have to submit to them."

Qin Tian shook his head, "Alas, let's take it step by step, and play it by ear!"

Just one visit to the Imperial Palace and a few sentences with the Ice Emperor, Qin Tian had already confirmed his previous suspicions in his heart – the Imperial City is deceptive and the relationships are complex, most dangerous!

With a heavy heart, Qin Tian left the Imperial Palace and went straight to Wu Wang's palace.

Wu Wang, within the Imperial City, was one of the three powerful figures allowed to have his own palace beneath the Ice Emperor!

The size of Wu Wang's palace was not comparable to the Imperial Palace, but it looked more imposing with a chilling atmosphere of sternness.

"Who goes there!"

As soon as Qin Tian approached, a soldier shouted sharply.

This person's True Qi trembled, and the aura was unexpectedly of the Early Stage Longevity Realm!

"Damn, are all the people in the Imperial City this strong? Damn it..."

Feeling this person's aura, Qin Tian was instantly terrified.

A gatekeeper at Wu Wang's palace was actually at the Early Stage of Longevity Realm!?

Exhausted, I feel unloved.

Although he had mentally prepared himself before, Qin Tian still felt greatly shocked.

"How do the people in the Imperial City cultivate, are they all monsters..." he muttered quietly.

The gate guard asked again, "Who goes there, please report your name!"

Qin Tian hurriedly said, "Qin Tian, the new East Gate Commander and Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, ordered to pay respects to His Highness Wu Wang."

"One moment."

The guard replied, turned his head, as if using True Qi Transmission, and when he turned back around, he said, "Wu Wang has ordered, please enter. Follow me!"

The guard's every gesture was extraordinary, and Qin Tian followed him inside Wu Wang's palace. Driven by curiosity, he extended his Divine Sense, trying to probe the cultivation of other guards.

Fortunately, the guards' cultivation was mostly between the Middle Stage and Peak of Nascent Soul Stage, which reassured Qin Tian a little, though having such a level as gate guards was still quite impressive.

Entering Wu Wang's palace, unlike the quiet Imperial Palace, there seemed to be many other institutions set up, so a variety of officials and generals were coming and going.

"Commander Qin, please."

When they reached the entrance of an imposing hall, the guard left.

Qin Tian walked in slowly, only to find that it was not a hall, but a spacious study.

The study was divided into two spaces, with a screen in between.

Qin Tian walked in, faintly sensing someone behind the screen. He thought it must be the famous Wu Wang, and immediately saluted, "Commander Qin Tian, greets His Highness Wu Wang!"

He saluted, but after a few seconds, there was no movement, and the back of the screen was silent.

Qin Tian thought that Wu Wang, like the Ice Emperor, would wait a while before speaking, so he stood there.

Yet after three minutes, there was still no movement.

Qin Tian pursed his lips, raised his voice, and said again, "Commander Qin Tian, greets His Highness Wu Wang!"

Still no response.

Qin Tian was stunned, his heart hardened, could it be that no one was behind the screen?

He mustered the courage to walk up and went behind the screen.

What he saw was a back figure, lying on the bed sideways, seemingly asleep.

This back figure inexplicably carried a certain aura, making Qin Tian absolutely certain that this person was Wu Wang, the current second-ranking figure of the Tianyuan Dynasty!

But Wu Wang was actually sleeping at this moment!

Qin Tian just stood at the side of the screen, looking at Wu Wang's back, gritting his teeth with immense dissatisfaction in his heart.

This Wu Wang had informed him yesterday to come today, and now that he had arrived, Wu Wang was actually sleeping?

Undoubtedly pretending to sleep!

With Wu Wang's supreme skills, he could sense someone approaching his palace. Furthermore, Qin Tian was right behind him.

Qin Tian remembered the eunuch's words, that facing Wu Wang directly would also be a great disrespect.

After hesitating for a moment, he still stepped back, back into the middle of the reception hall, and just stood there.

He knew very well that Wu Wang was deliberately making things difficult for him!

"Damn it, what did I do to offend you? Giving me a hard time?"

Qin Tian mocked coldly in his heart, yet now he had no choice but to bow under the roof.

Wu Wang controlled the Ministry of War, and Qin Tian was just a small fry within the Ministry. Offending Wu Wang would be tantamount to seeking death.

"Fine, I'll endure!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Qin Tian gritted his teeth in anger and just stood there in the reception room, waiting.

He stood for three hours, from morning to noon!

During this time, Qin Tian had several moments where he couldn't take it anymore, but considering he was new to the Imperial City, with tangled and complicated forces, he knew he had to learn to endure, to swallow insults and humiliation, if he wanted to gain a foothold!

Whew whew whew!

A sound finally came from behind the screen, the sound of Wu Wang turning over!

Damn, still going to sleep?

How can one keep this up? Doesn't he eat lunch!?

Qin Tian was trembling with anger.

Squeak!

The door to the reception room quietly opened, and an old eunuch walked in. Seeing Qin Tian standing respectfully in the reception room, he immediately walked behind the screen, and whispered:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time for lunch."

"What time is it, lunch already?" It was a very low male baritone, Wu Wang's voice.

"Your Highness, the new East Gate Commander Qin Tian has been waiting outside for a long time, do you want to see him?" The old eunuch asked.

"Qin Tian? Which Qin Tian?"

"The new East Gate Commander, our Ministry of War's Second Grade Assistant Minister, the one from East Capital City."

"Just woke up, forgot, forgot that I called him to see me today. Where is he?"

Wu Wang's words made Qin Tian only able to smile coldly, damn good actor, you called me here and are pretending not to know me?

"Just outside waiting." The old eunuch said.

"Let him come in and talk."

Wu Wang sat up, "Bring lunch in here to eat!"

"Yes."

"Add a set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes."
