Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1709 - 1713: The Ninth Prince Returns (Part 1)

"Damn it, I really couldn't hold back today!"

"Murong Tiannan truly has a strange temperament, irritable, and endlessly humiliates me—I can't stand it!"

"He even talked about princes and dukes, hmph, does he look down on me and think I can't become one?"

Even after leaving the Murong Mansion, Qin Tian's heart still burned with anger.

If it hadn't been for Murong Fei's sake today, he would've lost his patience long ago and probably already had a confrontation with Murong Tiannan.

He might've even started demolishing the Murong Mansion!

Zhou Yang followed closely behind Qin Tian, seeing his sour expression, but said nothing.

All the way, Qin Tian clenched his fists, seemingly extremely angry—something Zhou Yang was witnessing for the first time.

Of course, Zhou Yang knew very well that the reason Qin Tian was so upset was that he took this matter seriously.

In the past, many people humiliated Qin Tian, yet Zhou Yang always saw Qin Tian laughing it off, not caring at all.

But this time, because Qin Tian cared too much about Murong Fei, the anger truly got to him.

Only after Qin Tian's anger subsided, did Zhou Yang ask, "Boss, now that you've openly broken with Murong Tiannan, what will you do next? If Murong Tiannan really decides not to marry the sister-in-law to you, I'm afraid there might be nothing we can do, considering the Murong Family's influence..."

Zhou Yang didn't finish his sentence, but Qin Tian knew what he wanted to say and replied, "The Murong Family's strong influence was fought for, and I can fight for the same. Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west—I can't believe that I won't surpass the Murong Family in the future!"

Seeing Qin Tian make such a vow, Zhou Yang, equally stirred, clenched his fist and said, "Boss, then we have a lot to do moving forward."

The two returned straight to the Qin Mansion. After hearing about Qin Tian and Zhou Yang's encounter at the Murong Mansion, Xiao Zhuang and others were indignant.

"Although Murong, the old master, is the sister-in-law's father, openly belittling and humiliating the boss in every way is too much. After all, the boss is now a Second Grade official and the Great Governor of the East Gate, with command over military power, and recently ranked ninety-eighth on the Earth List, having consecutively killed Xiao Qingshan and Xiao Lingyun, and yet he's still looked down upon?"

Lin Yu was extremely dissatisfied.

Xiao Zhuang shared the dissatisfaction, "I feel he's just an old fossil, ha, thinking he's someone important and constantly looking down on others. Isn't he just one of the four great generals? Our boss's future will surely surpass his. And like the boss said, it doesn't matter if this old fossil agrees or not, we will marry the sister-in-law for sure!"

Du Qiuniang didn't say anything indignant, but holding Qin Tian's hand, she sat beside him and comforted him, "Master, perhaps General Murong just said those things in a moment of anger and they shouldn't be taken to heart. Besides, Sister Fei is so fond of you, she won't allow herself not to marry you, she certainly wouldn't marry anyone else."

Qin Tian nodded, "I know."

He recalled what Murong Fei had said to him back then: "If I don't marry you, I'd rather die."

In his heart, there was a pang of sadness.

...

The Cultivation Immortality List competition ended; after killing Xiao Lingyun, Qin Tian no longer had the heart to challenge further, so his rank settled at ninety-eighth on the Earth List.

This unprecedented rise in rank had already shocked many people in the Imperial City.

However, Qin Tian didn't care about this; he cared about Murong Fei and his own future.

Xiao Zhuang had people watch the Murong Mansion around the clock and finally confirmed that the furious Murong Tiannan from that day likely continued to confine Murong Fei, who hadn't taken a single step out of the Murong Mansion.

As for Qin Tian's future, he had already heard some news.

Thanks to Qin Tian's excellent performance in the Cultivation Immortality List competition, the Imperial Palace was already planning some changes to his position, which were still under discussion; however, it was expected only to be a promotion, not a demotion.

"Boss, something bad happened, something bad!"

Xiao Zhuang hurriedly ran back from outside the Qin Mansion.

Qin Tian stood unwavering like a mountain, his heart clear as a mirror, and said, "Old Three, are you going to tell me that the Ninth Prince has returned from cultivation training?"

"Yes, Boss, how did you know?"

"Hmph, didn't need to think to know."

"Boss, you killed Yang Jin, and when the Ninth Prince learned of the news outside, he was furious beyond belief. Yang Jin was one of the Ninth Prince's cash cows, helping him accumulate wealth. Now that he's dead, the Ninth Prince will definitely seek revenge on us upon his return!"

"So what."

Qin Tian remained calm and unhurried, "Whether or not I killed Yang Jin, the Ninth Prince would always target me, so I must act preemptively."

Xiao Zhuang was stunned, thinking, Boss, even against the Ninth Prince, you plan to strike first? My goodness...

"Old Three, don't worry. We'll counter the enemy with soldiers and water with earth. Now the Ice Emperor has summoned me; I must first go to the Imperial Palace."

Qin Tian headed to the Imperial Palace. Meanwhile, in his Yitian Palace, the Ninth Prince's face was grim.

"Dare to kill my man; they killed Yang Jin. Hmph, such audacity!"

The Ninth Prince couldn't contain his anger, raising his gaze to several subordinates standing below him, "Do you have any solutions to make Qin Tian disappear?"

"Your Highness, it's simple, just hire someone to assassinate him directly."

"Your Highness, with your status, you could just find an excuse to frame him with some charges. To add a crime, no pretext is needed; Qin Tian, he can't contend with you."

"Precisely, Your Highness, why not summon him to Yitian Palace, lay an ambush, and eliminate him directly? Then you can report to His Majesty at the Imperial Palace, claiming Qin Tian attempted to attack you at Yitian Palace. After all, you're His Majesty's own son; he wouldn't do anything to you."

One by one, the generals and advisors brainstormed for the Ninth Prince, proposing dozens of ways to easily eliminate Qin Tian.

Standing quietly by the side, Duan Xiaodao spoke only after everyone else had finished, "Your Highness, my view differs slightly from theirs."

"Oh?"

Duan Xiaodao's different opinion immediately attracted attention.

The Ninth Prince said, "Speak."

Duan Xiaodao said, "To kill Qin Tian is easy for our Yitian Palace. However, the current Qin Tian, in my opinion, can be utilized for our benefit."

The Ninth Prince sneered, "This guy won't work for me, especially after killing Yang Jin. Now, I can't have him work for me."

Duan Xiaodao shook his head, "It's not about having Qin Tian work for us, but rather we can use him as a tool to kill others."

"What do you mean? Using him to kill whom?" The Ninth Prince looked at Duan Xiaodao.

Duan Xiaodao said, "Qin Tian has successively killed Xiao Family's Xiao Qingshan and Xiao Lingyun. The Xiao Family now bears deep resentment towards Qin Tian..."

At this point, the Ninth Prince immediately understood.
