Chapter 482 - Imperial Capital Overlord_1

The next morning.

Yin Tian waited until Su Qinwei and the others were all awake, and then called all seven girls together.

"I have something I need to take care of today, so you either drive out for a spin or hide at Sir Li’s place. In any case, you must ensure your personal safety," Yin Tian softly instructed.

Su Qinwei and the other girls immediately all turned their attention to Yin Tian.

They were well aware that whenever Yin Tian acted alone, it meant he was going to do something very dangerous by himself.

If they could, they really didn’t want Yin Tian to do this.

However, to avoid worrying Yin Tian, they could only suppress their concerns and let him go, resolved not to be the stone that trips him up.

"Okay, we understand," Su Qinwei slowly spoke, looking earnestly at Yin Tian, "but you also have to promise us that nothing will go wrong, and you must come back safe and sound."

A warmth filled Yin Tian’s heart, and he flashed a smile at the seven girls, "Don’t worry, I have seven flower-like fiancées waiting for me at home, how could I bear to die?"

After speaking, Yin Tian was already walking towards the door, "Once you’ve eaten, be ready to leave. This place isn’t safe, and you can’t stay here long."

Yin Tian left the villa, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Inner City.

The person who attempted to kill him yesterday had been wounded in the chest, and unless something unexpected happened, that person’s chest wound had not yet healed.

So, he wanted to go directly to the Xuanyuan Family, to see among the strong ones there, whether the person who tried to assassinate him yesterday was among them.

An hour later, Yin Tian had arrived at the gate of the Xuanyuan Family.

Although Yin Tian had never been to the Xuanyuan family before, finding them was simple as the leaders of the major families in the Inner City, just by heading to the most central area.

Yin Tian stood in front of the Xuanyuan gate, his face revealing a hint of astonishment.

The three-meter-high vermillion wall enclosed a large plot of land.

The main gate was grand, flanked by statues of a dragon and a tiger, both looking very mystical.

Above the gate, the three characters for "Xuanyuan Family" glittered as if they were carved from pure gold.

"Quite the palace setup, a bit too extravagant," Yin Tian muttered.

Afterward, he stepped forward and knocked on the Xuanyuan Family’s gate.

Soon, the door opened, and an old man looking frail and aged stuck his head out, "This is the Xuanyuan Family. Those not summoned have no business here, don’t you know the rules?"

Yin Tian glanced at the old man and, not detecting anything special about him, said, "I’m here for the Xuanyuan Family. Please inform them that Yin Tian is visiting."

The old man seemed to have heard of Yin Tian’s name.

He scrutinized Yin Tian carefully, then said, "Alright, please wait."

With that, he closed the door.

Yin Tian stood still and waited; after a while, the old man reopened the door, "The Family Head said you can come in. Follow me."

Upon hearing this, Yin Tian followed the old man into the Xuanyuan Family’s residence.

From the outside, the Xuanyuan mansion looked like a palace, and once entered, it really felt like one!

Rockeries, gardens, ponds...

All sorts of ancient buildings were present in abundance!

"Worthy of being the overlord of the Imperial Capital," Yin Tian nodded to himself.

The old man leading the way heard Yin Tian’s remark and slowed down slightly, "Hear less, see less, just follow me."

"Quite a few rules," Yin Tian let out a light laugh.

Just then, someone came from the opposite direction.

That person had been planning to go out, but when he saw Yin Tian, his steps suddenly slowed, "Yin Tian?! What brings you to my house?"

The person was Xuanyuan Jianxue!

He fixed his gaze on Yin Tian, not expecting in the least to encounter Yin Tian in his own home.

"Came over for a bit of business," Yin Tian said with a smile, "since I’ve bumped into you, it would be great if you could summon all those people you took with you on that rainy night. Don’t miss a single one."

"Why should I help you?" Xuanyuan Jianxue looked coldly at Yin Tian.

He didn’t have the slightest fondness for Yin Tian, especially since he had publicly apologized to him a few days before, which he considered a humiliation. So why would he help Yin Tian?

"Because I suspect that your Xuanyuan Family sent people to assassinate me yesterday," Yin Tian spoke very seriously.

"Ha? What a joke!" Xuanyuan Jianxue scoffed derisively, "Just because of this? If someone comes and asks my Xuanyuan Family to prove something, and we have to do it, won’t my Xuanyuan Family become a laughingstock?"

"Yin Tian, who do you think you are? Daring to give orders to my Xuanyuan Family!"

Yin Tian wasn’t perturbed by Xuanyuan Jianxue’s unfriendly tone.

He simply stared deeply at Xuanyuan Jianxue.

"I hope you understand..."

"I’m not asking for your opinion!"
