Tian Xu couldn't believe his luck lately. First, the person he hated more than anything left the sect. He tried to kill that bastard over and over again, but whatever he did, he always failed. He knew Abbot was always watching and protecting him, but he still cornered the beast several times without Abbot around and yet he failed again and again.
But one day, he vanished. He went away and all his worries vanished with it. With that talented bastard out of the picture, who could stop the rise of the Tian Faction?
But the good news came one after the other. Because of something that happened in Royal Forest, the sect earned another two Millenium Yin Cherries. With the one they had sealed in the sect, they had three. After some convincing, he helped his grandson to eat one of the fruits, and thanks to that, Tian Huang awakened his second Signium from the Fourth Curtain. How amazing was that?
But good things didn't end there. One day, they received a letter. It was written to him directly. It was from a shop called the Setting Sun Alchemy Shop. They were reaching out to let them know that a master was benevolent enough to give the grandfather and grandson pair tickets to a domain filled with richness. At first, Tian Xu was suspicious but when he read further, he realized his ancestor once helped this master, thus he wanted to help them back and learn their whereabouts.
Tian Xu was on cloud nine, but he had no time to think further. The domain was going to open in six months and they could barely make it. So after letting his uncle know, he took his genius grandson with him and rushed to the capital. When they arrived at the shop that reached out to them, they were greeted like honor guests and fed like kings.
"Mr. Tian, the domain will open in two hours. You should make your way there." Jiang Kang said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Tian Xu said with an air of royalty as he got up from the table. He had eaten the meat of the Demonic Beasts which was not allowed in the sect and loved it. For the last couple of days, he would always order that.
"I wish I could eat more." Tian Huang said from the side. He loved the taste of meat. He wished he could stay there for the rest of his life.
"You can eat as much as you want after you leave the domain." Jiang Yong said with a smile.
"Thanks, Yong'er." Tiang Huang said with a lascivious look. He took a fancy to this woman and after he left the domain, he would ask her hand in marriage. Since this master owed their ancestor a debt, a girl wouldn't be a big deal.
"Too bad we didn't see the master." Tian Xu sighed. He wanted to test the waters. If the master felt he still owed them, he would ask some talismans or high-level weapons to kill Abbot on their return. Or maybe ask the Master to end Abbot directly. After all, their ancestors saved this master.
"Master Yontu has some other business to attend to. But he should be free when you come out." Jiang Kang said with a smile. He didn't know why the old master told them to be nice to these people but Jiang Kang was fuming with anger in only two days. He wanted nothing more than to kill these two idiots who thought the world was revolving around them.
"Okay, take us to the place then." Tiang Huang said like a Young Master.
It took them 10 minutes to walk to the place. The entrance of the domain was filled with regular people who came to watch the fun. There were guards and Knights everywhere and all of them looked alert. The area where disciples were waiting was separated from the rest with barriers and a strong-looking Knight was at the entrance.
"That is the place. You can go in with the tokens." Jiang Kang said as he showed the strong-looking Knight. He already gave them the tokens and a box beforehand like the old master ordered so his mission was completed. The old master told him to tell the duo they were not allowed to open the box until they were in the domain. So he warned them but if they abided or not, it wasn't his concern.
"Hmm." Tian Xu nodded as he walked forward like a protagonist of a story. His grandson was a step behind him but was walking with equal, maybe more, arrogance. The Knight and everyone else was looking at two country bumpkins in wonder. Some thought they were courting death, but no one stopped them. If they indeed wanted to anger the Knight and died, it would only be funnier.
They stood before the Knight haughtily, as if their existence was all the explanation. The Knight looked down at them with an intimidating aura but the two fools couldn't even read the air.
"What do you want?" The Knight asked in irritation.
"Know your place, guard." Tian Xu said as he flashed his token. "We are here because we were invited by Master Yontu."
The Knight's vein on his temples bulged but he swallowed his anger. He was ordered to notify Prince Consort when something like this happened. But he didn't have to. Tian Xu wasn't silent with his words, and Xiao Chen heard them loud and clear. He was waiting within the barrier.
"Let them in." He said and the knight moved to the side. "Welcome, Mr?"
"Who are you?" Tian Xu asked arrogantly. He wouldn't share his name with just anyone.
"I am the Prince of this Kingdom and in charge of this event." Xiao Chen answered calmly. If it wasn't for Master Yontu he would have killed these two already.
"Oh, so it is the Prince. My name is Tian Xu and this is my grandson, Tian Huang. We were invited by Master Yontu." Tian Xu answered with a smile. Since the other party was a prince, they would try to get along. Maybe they could move to the palace one day.
"So, Mr. Tian. How do you know Master Yontu? He is a benefactor of mine." Xiao Chen asked with an amiable smile.
"One of our ancestors helped him with something. So he reached out to invite us. Our family is well-established." Tian Xu said with pride.
"I see, I see." Xiao Chen smiled like a wolf. "So you don't know Master Yontu?"
"He was busy the last couple of days, so we haven't seen him yet, but when we come out, we are going to meet." Tian Huang chirped in from the side.
"That is understandable. Master Yontu is a busy man." Xiao Chen nodded as he led them to the entrance of the domain. "So, has Master Yontu given you anything? It is required to open the domain."
"We received a box and were told to keep it on us and under no circumstance give it to anyone else." Tian Xu said defendingly.
"Of course. We just need it to be on you." Xiao Chen chuckled as he called everyone else. Since their last two honor guests arrived, it was time to enter the domain. While Tian Duo was talking to Prince Consort, a pair of blue eyes were looking at them mockingly.
"Debt paid."
