"Curse, curse, cursed," a group of beggars muttered as Ji Yan and others were just in the middle of reaching the sect.
"Stop." said the Ji Yan donned in a resplendent robe fashioned from the richest threads of local wool, radiating the noble elegance befitting an aristocrat. His tunic, a masterpiece of opulent brocade woven from the finest cotton, boasted intricate Prophet-like cuffs.
"I apologize My lord but we need to hurry. We can't afford to stop at least not for these beggars"
"I know the King and sect leader are looking forward to my coming but I don't."
"Lord I don't intend to intrude but these beggars are not worth your time and not only the King but both your fiancées would be there."
"I don't wish to repeat myself."
"Guide the carriage to a halt, at the junction of Riverside," instructed Acantha, Squad leader, adjusting herself as the horse-drawn carriage maneuvered through the intricate city lanes.
Acantha instructed this by clenching her teeth and wearing a solemn expression on her face.
Ji Yan was pretty sure she said "good heaven" in a low tone. He didn't mind it but had a sudden irresistible wish to scold her but seeing how she never questioned his changes and acts but simply followed all his commands. He let it pass. He would never intend to push people loyal to him too much.
Regardless of it, Ji Yan knew that if one of his units is trained to hear and see nothing and simply follow his order, then the second unit is trained for absolute devotion towards him and also have a duty to guide and correct him. She was simply doing how she was trained to act.
Now, focusing on the present scenario.
Swinging the carriage door open, Ji Yan stepped out, and his gaze fell upon a beggar. "How may I assist you, Uncles?"
The beggars appeared bewildered, avoiding eye contact.
"You want Money."
"I suppose they are not interested in digital Qi currency," He chuckled, firmly closing the door and then continued.
"Acantha, inquire if they accept payment in spirit stones."
"Would Spirit Stones or gold suffice?"
The beggars' eyes widened with surprise and gratitude as Ji Yan's guards handed them mid-grade spirit stones before continuing on their way.
"I'll offer more if you could bring me the finest flower bouquet available," Ji Yan said naturally, sitting inside his carriage.
They nodded and readied themselves to depart.
In a typical scenario, they would never return and might abscond with the Spirit Stones, but given their identities, this is unlikely.
"System, What do you think about it?

Goodness!
When was the last time they took a bath? Most of them look.... No no no I should not say it. Remember I'm no longer a police officer but a King.
Yeah, sweets would be good to cleanse my mood from seeing these Bums.
"Shall we indulge in some sweets in the meantime Acantha?"
"As you wish my lord."
What a wonderful woman. I no longer have a nanny-caretaker of me so she's substituting her role. She just got a promotion. Yippie.
The summer heat is unbearable, and these clothes aren't helping. "Hey Android, activate the cooling formation."
He answered Yes lord and started doing his job. It's really lonely at the top.
'Let me relish the flavor of these sweets, System. Being lonely gives me time to ponder and doesn't drain my energy.'
"Lord, they have returned with the flower bouquet as per your request."
"Tell them I'm asleep and reward them as promised in my stead."
"As you wish, My lord."
The Qi-Doll handed the gems to Those Beggar.
These shameless bums knew my identity but still took the Gems and moved away. Maybe it was a consideration for me as I wished to hide my identity until the end of the trial.

Good heavens. My luck has skyrocketed.
Nonetheless, I still need to make some improvements In my Power and Qi. I can open the door to reach the Transcendence realm only by reaching 1000 in both of them.
I also need to clear the other requirements to reach the Transcendence realm though.
What a tough life. Should I just give up and Live a peaceful life in the countryside?
Mongrel system, I don't live off Hope Illness. Hope is like faith - opium and as long as I exist, hope would never.
"Lord, Are these Flower Boutique for madams".
I really am getting interrupted every second from completing my monologue huh?
"Yeah, might as well give them something if it's inevitable to meet them again."
Fiancées, huh? My first marriage was horrible, to say the least, so I detest the idea of marriage. My first wife was a nightmare; either she was terrible, or I just made a terrible choice. However, we still loved each other, at least before the whole separation thing happened.
My advice to all married wives and husbands who earn more than their significant others regarding divorce, not that I'm claiming you're getting one-------- just kill them. It's easier and helps you avoid paperwork. It worked for me. It'll work for you if you're clever or powerful like me to escape and if you're caught then You'll at least safeguard your property and get out of jail in less than 15 years by appealing till Apex court and do note------------ Don't kill them brutally or you'll go jail for long IF caught'.
"Let's proceed everyone and lord Ji we have informed the king and Sect leader of your arrival."
"Yeah Acantha, Good job"
"Everything is for your service, no need to thank a Subject."
What a loyalty. If my previous world subordinates had treated me as they should have then I wouldn't have only treated them right but also helped them in getting more perks, allowance, and grades.

So this is how the Hatti sect's Main Divine Tower. It's magnificent, is it as large as Khalifa---I wondered. It had so many security formations that I couldn't help but be amazed.
It would surely take at least 3 seconds for my brother to shred this city down to its last atom given these tower security. It might not look impressive but it's truly Impressive that it can last 3 seconds given the emperor's power.
Now Let's meet these Cultist martial arts fanatics.
