Because there were many people who greeted him, Qin Tian's journey slowed down a bit. It took almost twenty minutes for him to arrive near the palace. It was even longer than the time he needed on his way to the capital of the academy. Of course it was because on that trip Qin Tian flew. If he also flew now, he could easily cross the entire capital in half a minute.
As the royal palace of Qin, it had the most magnificent appearance in the entire capital. It also exuded an very grand aura, which made anyone looking at the palace feel the desire to kneel.
At the foot of the mountain around, there were so many people hanging around while staring at the palace on the mountain.
Some people looked at the palace with admiration. Some looked at the palace with determined eyes. It is unknown what they think. However, some people might dream that one day they too could be like the king of Qin, have a magnificent palace and be respected by many people.
Of course, the possibility that they can realize their dreams is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Qin Tian's arrival naturally attracted the attention of everyone around because since he arrived, all the warriors who guarded the palace gate immediately went to greet him.
But Qin Tian did not make small talk, he immediately entered the palace gate.
Even though it was called a palace, in fact, there were countless other buildings throughout the mountains that were home to warriors.
"Eh!" Qin Tian was shocked.
As he entered the palace environment, he saw several groups of foreign warriors.
There are five groups of foreign warriors and each group has dozens of people. They all wear different clothes. And each of their clothes has their own symbols.
"Are they warriors of the noble clan." Qin Tian asked because he recognized several symbols.
"That's right, Your Highness! Today, the leader of the Liu clan, Mu clan, Shi clan, Yu clan, and Huang clan came to visit." One of the warriors who followed him answered.
"What?" Even though he guessed it, he was still shocked by the words of the soldier. That was because the five clans that came were the five strongest clans in the entire Qin kingdom besides his Qin clan.
"What are they doing?" Qin Tian wondered in his mind. It was not usual for clan leaders to visit the palace together. In fact, since Qin Tian was born until now, he had never encountered such an event.
"There must be something big going on." Qin Tian guessed.
"No wonder the royal father told me to return right away." He finally realized why. Regardless, the status of the five leaders was very high. Even if only one of them visited, Qin Tian, as a royal prince, would definitely have to accompany the king to greet him. Especially if there are five simultaneously.
Without lingering, Qin Tian immediately accelerated his steps towards the palace on the mountain top.
Looking at Qin Tian, a commotion immediately rang out in the group of foreign warriors.
"That is prince Qin. He does look unusual." A warrior from the Yu clan called out.
"I heard he is the most talented genius in the history of the Qin kingdom." Other warrior from the Yu clan also spoke.
"That's right! I wonder what if he's compared to our young lady." Another warrior added.
"I don't know! But our young lady is also amazing."
The warrior's words from the Yu clan felt more neutral.
However, warriors from other clans said different words.
"Hmph, so that is the prince of Qin, who is said to be the most talented! But I think he is a bit lacking when compared to our Huang clan's young master." A Huang clan warrior spoke.
From his words, it was clear he didn't really consider Qin Tian. He believed that their young master was far more talented than Qin Tian.
Actually, he didn't talk nonsense. In fact, even though the Huang clan was also only a noble clan in the Qin kingdom, it was actually a bit unique when compared to other clans. The reason was because the Huang clan was actually only a branch clan of a certain big clan. The real Huang clan was in fact a big clan that controlled a Great Empire called the Great Huang Empire. They were one of the largest and most powerful empires in the entire continent. And their clan has many branches spread everywhere.
Even though most of the branch clans were weak. However, that does not mean they lost their inheritance.
The reason why the warrior believed in the Huang clan's young master was because the young master managed to cultivate one of their Huang clan's legacies. This caused his power to surge.
The incident even caught the attention of the elders in the main branch of the clan. And the elder even invited the young master to go to the main branch of the clan to guide him. With the guidance of the elder, his strength surged once more so that he was even considered a rare genius even in the main branch of the clan.
"That's right! He might be considered a genius in this kingdom. But young master Huang is considered a genius even in the Great Empire. The differences between them are like heaven and earth." Other warriors from the Huang clan spoke in an arrogant tone. He even deliberately raised his voice so that it was heard by the palace warriors.
"It's only because the young master is often in the Great Huang Empire that people don't know how amazing he is. But now, young master Huang is here, soon the young master will teach the prince what is called a genius." Another warrior added.
The Huang clan's warrior's words naturally attracted the attention of the palace warriors. And when they heard the Huang clan's soldiers underestimate their prince, they immediately became angry.
"What did you say?" One of the warriors shouted.
Immediately a commotion broke out between the two groups of warriors. They argued about who was better between prince Qin and young master Huang.
"Hmph, we'll see, our young master will challenge the prince. See later how the prince is defeated." The Huang clan warrior said while snorting.
Even though Qin Tian had gone some distance, he could still hear the commotion between the groups of warriors. But he continued to walk towards the palace. He was not too worried about them, because it was normal for the soldiers to quarrel with each other.
"Your Highness!" However, just as Qin Tian continued his steps, suddenly there was a voice of a young girl calling him from the side.
"Mn." Qin Tian could not help but turn towards the sound because he recognized the owner of the voice.
In the direction the voice came from, Qin Tian saw a young girl his age walking towards him.
The girl had white skin like snow and black hair that was slightly curly. She wore a white dress embroidered with flowers. Strangely, there was a whip tied around her waist.
If what was said was about her beauty, that young girl might not be the most beautiful. However, when viewed from the charm and maturity of her body, clearly the girl was one of the top ranks. She did not look like a fourteen year old girl.
"Your Highness, long time no see." The young girl walked towards Qin Tian while smiling.
Seeing the young girl, Qin Tian was shocked for a moment before smiling and would greet her too.
"Yu Siqi, you think you can run away from this young master." However, before Qin Tian could speak, he suddenly heard a young man's scream not far behind Yu Siqi.
Hearing that shout, Qin Tian could not help but look behind Yu Siqi. He narrowed his eyes when he saw a young man wearing fancy clothes and was followed by two warriors chasing after Yu Siqi.
"Who is he?" Qin Tian wondered.
Qin Tian knew Yu Siqi because the relationship between the Yu clan and the kingdom was quite good, causing the Yu clan leader and his daughter to visit the palace often. However, for that young man, this was the first time Qin Tian had seen him. But, due to the arrival of the noble clan leaders and the young man's words, he could guess that the young man must be a young master one of the other four clans besides the Yu clan because Yu Siqi was the only child possessed by the Yu clan leader.
The arrival of the young man made Yu Siqi panic! She accelerated her footsteps as she approached Qin Tian.
"Your Highness, can you drive away that Mu Yi. He really dared to dream of making me his wife." Yu Siqi spoke in a complaint tone as she hid behind Qin Tian.
"Mu Yi..." Qin Tian narrowed his eyes as he heard the young man's name. Even though he had never met him, Qin Tian had heard a number of things about this Mu Yi.
He is the youngest son of the leader of the Mu clan. And because his talent surpassed all of his siblings, he became the son most loved by the leader of the Mu clan and was declared the next leader of the Mu clan. However, this Mu Yi had a detestable personality. He has a hobby of playing with women and has a dominating personality, making many people afraid of him.
Such a person, even Qin Tian did not like it. Especially at this time he was brave enough to make Yu Siqi as his target.
Even though they didn't meet often, Qin Tian was actually quite close to her. Seeing someone target his friend, he would naturally protect it.
"Sister Yu, don't worry, with me here, no one can bully you." Qin Tian spoke to calm her down.
With a glance, Qin Tian could tell that Mu Yi had reached sixth layer the Awakening Meridian realm. With such cultivation at his age, he could be considered a top genius in the Qin kingdom. However, in front of Qin Tian, he was no different from ants.
In fact, Yu Siqi's cultivation had also reached the sixth layer, equivalent to Mu Yi. With her strength, it shouldn't be possible for Mu Yi to do anything to her. The real problem was the two warriors who followed him. They both are actually experts in the spiritual realm. In front of the spiritual realm expert, even Yu Siqi would not be helpless.
Even though Mu Yi might not dare to overdo Yu Yuqi in the royal palace, but he could still embarrass her a little.
Seeing Yu Siqi hiding behind the other men, Mu Yi stopped his steps and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Qin Tian.
He also heard Yu Siqi's words when she called out to Qin Tian. In this royal palace, there were only three qualified people called by the word 'Your Majesty'; King, Queen and Prince. Naturally the first two were impossible, which meant the young man in front of him was the only royal prince.
"Mu Yi, this is His Highness the Prince, why don't you pay your respects." Seeing Mu Yi stop, Yu Siqi quickly shouted at Mu Yi order him to salute.
Mu Yi was stunned for a moment before he regained consciousness. He immediately smiled and cupped his fist while saying. "So it is His Highness the Prince, this Yi salutes the Prince."
Although his tone of voice sounded polite, but Qin Tian did not feel any sense of respect from him. Of course this is natural. The status of the Mu clan is very high, it's only slightly less when compared to the kingdom. So it's only natural that he isn't too respectful to Qin Tian. The reason he paid homage to him was in fact only because he was in the palace. If he was in the territory of the Mu clan, he would definitely not do it. If he was in the territory of the Mu clan, with his dominating nature, he would definitely not do it.
After Mu Yi, the two warriors who followed behind him also saluted Qin Tian.
"What are you doing?" Qin Tian asked even though he knew what he was doing.
Mu Yi's status was very high, he couldn't teach him a lesson just because he wanted to.
"Um, this Yi has some business with Siqi, but since Siqi is chatting with His Highness right now, this Yi is leaving first." Saying that, he cupped his fist once more before walking away followed by two warriors.
"Hmph..." Seeing Mu Yi's departure, Yu Siqi gave a light snort. She was clearly unhappy with Mu Yi, especially when she heard Mu Yi mention her name directly.
