Chapter 505: Kneeling in Front of Yin Tian!_1
Yin Tian found Su Qinwei and a few other girls downstairs and mentioned that he needed to step out for a bit.
Su Qinwei and the others did not stop Yin Tian.
There was also a secret chamber within the villa. Only those familiar with the villa would know of its existence.
So Yin Tian could rest assured leaving Su Qinwei and the girls there.
After giving his instructions, Yin Tian was already driving towards the Inner City, eager to meet the new Overlord of the Inner City.
Yin Tian was quite familiar with Inner City. Soon, he arrived at what was once the entrance to the Xuanyuan Family’s residence.
Workers were there, standing on ladders, attempting to remove the plaque bearing the three characters of the Xuanyuan Family.
Outside the Xuanyuan Family’s gate, a large crowd had gathered.
These people came bearing various valuable items, hoping to make a good impression on the new authority of the Inner City.
The arrival of Yin Tian also attracted a lot of attention.
Some who had seen Yin Tian before changed their expressions instantly upon spotting him here.
There were even some who doubted whether the new Overlord of the Inner City could withstand the turmoil of the day!
However, some who did not know Yin Tian saw him come empty-handed and immediately showed a look of contempt.
Someone stepped up to Yin Tian and looked him over assessingly, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. You don’t seem to be from the Inner City."
"Indeed, I’m not. I came from the South District,"
Yin Tian replied.
"Heh..."
Upon hearing that Yin Tian was actually from the South District, the person immediately let out a disdainful snort, "As I thought, you’re not from the Inner City. Sigh, ever since Xuanyuan Wangting died, the gatekeeping of the Inner City has really loosened. Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come here."
"Are you talking about me?"
Yin Tian looked at the man with a half-smiling expression.
At this, the man burst out laughing, "If I’m not talking about you, then whom else would I be talking about?"
"If you’re just an outsider bug, you should stay put in the Outer City. Is the Inner City a place for you to come?"
Yin Tian couldn’t be bothered to argue with this person and simply looked away.
Yet the man persisted in goading Yin Tian, "Kid, take my advice and leave now, lest you’re thrown out and lose face all the way back to your grandma’s house."
Yin Tian turned and glanced at the man, "Scram."
The man’s eyebrows shot up in anger, "Hey, I’m giving you friendly advice here, and this is your attitude? Am I being too kind to you?"
Some people around were ready to jeer but were stopped by those next to them.
Those who knew of Yin Tian whispered to their neighbors, revealing his identity.
Soon, everyone present knew who the young man was, except for the man in front of Yin Tian, who remained clueless and self-important, feeling he was above the others.
The doors of the Xuanyuan residence opened.
A man, with the help of servants, walked out.
Originally, everyone had planned to rush forward to make a good impression on the new Overlord of the Inner City as soon as they saw him.
But Yin Tian’s presence confused them, and for a moment, they weren’t sure whether to present their gifts.
After all, no one knew what Yin Tian’s purpose was.
Only the man in front of Yin Tian, seeing someone emerge, quickly rushed forward, "This must be Patriarch Yue, Li Hui here, specially came to offer my congratulations, and hope to rely on Patriarch Yue in the future."
The man had severe dark circles and looked utterly exhausted.
He managed a weak nod and a painful smile.
Li Hui proudly stood beside Patriarch Yue, surveying the crowd with an air of ’I got here first.’
Yin Tian, however, just glanced at Patriarch Yue and immediately smiled.
No wonder the man looked familiar at first glance; wasn’t this Mr. Yue he saw on the mountain that day?
A few days had not passed, and Mr. Yue had lost a lot of weight, at least ten pounds, and his belly had visibly shrunk.
Patriarch Yue cleared his throat, ready to speak, but then he saw Yin Tian.
His eyes suddenly widened.
Seeing Patriarch Yue staring at Yin Tian, Li Hui realized it was his chance to show off.
"Patriarch Yue, don’t move; let me handle this!"
Li Hui stepped back in front of Yin Tian with an arrogant air, "You can scram now."
"This place doesn’t welcome you. Offend Patriarch Yue, and you won’t be able to mingle in the Imperial Capital, believe it or not?"
Yin Tian smiled at Li Hui, raised his hand, and pointed at Patriarch Yue, "Why don’t you ask for the opinion of the person behind you?"
Li Hui was taken aback, then heard a roar like thunder from behind him, "Scram!"
Li Hui turned back towards Yin Tian, "Did you hear that? Patriarch Yue is telling you to scram..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a large hand had already slapped his face, causing him to stagger nearly stumbling to the ground.
He was about to retaliate, but then he was shocked to find...
Patriarch Yue was kneeling in front of Yin Tian!
