Chapter 973: Chapter 0582: Zhao Shibo Made a Recomndation Upwards_2 Chapter 973: Chapter 0582: Zhao Shibo Made a Recomndation Upwards_2 Gao Jini and her companions still had matters to discuss with Qi Tian. Seeing Xiang Bo chatter nonstop, seemingly unwilling to leave, she was just about to shoo him away when his Hundred-Mile ssage Butterfly on his waist lit up. However, Xiang Bo didn’t seem to notice, so Gao Jini quickly spoke up to remind him, “Young Master Xiang Bo, soone has sent you a ssage.”
It was then that Xiang Bo noticed the Hundred-Mile ssage Butterfly at his waist. He hurriedly picked it up and after a glance, his expression imdiately grew excited. He laughed and said, “Haha, He Yingying has sent a ssage. I can’t stay here and chat with you anymore. I must be going now, goodbye.”
Having said this without waiting for Qi Tian and the others to respond, Xiang Bo walked away quickly, grinning foolishly at the Hundred-Mile ssage Butterfly.
Watching Xiang Bo leave in the distance, Gao Jini shook her head and said, “I can predict that this kid will definitely suffer losses at the hands of He Yingying in the future.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about Xiang Bo anymore. Let’s discuss our own matters,” said Xia Xiaoming, who had been silent until then.
At this ti, Qi Tian, before Xia Xiaoming could speak further, made a silencing gesture towards them. He then used the Sound Transmission Skill to communicate to Xia Xiaoming and Gao Jini, “Be wary of walls with ears. We have to be careful about eavesdroppers when we speak here. When we discuss important matters in the future, we must use the Sound Transmission Skill and not communicate in any other way.”
Gao Jini nodded and said, “Master, we’ve now moved into the Prince Manor, which has gone very smoothly according to plan. What should we do next? Should we take control of Zhao Shibo? Zhao Shibo is a Prince, his father is also a Prince, and there are so many cultivators at the Gold Core Realm around him. If we can control them all, then we will have secured a node in Eastern Capital City. From that node, we can control more nodes, and eventually, it might be possible to have the whole city under our control.”
The more Gao Jini spoke, the more excited she beca, as if she had already taken control of the entire Eastern Capital City.
Qi Tian said, “We can’t rush this matter for the ti being. I still have a sense that it’s not quite real. Haven’t you felt that our plan has been going too smoothly? First, we got close to Zhao Ninglu with ease, then through Zhao Ninglu we approached Zhao Shibo, and now we’ve arrived at a location just a street away from the imperial palace. It feels as though we could easily enter the palace next, which seems a bit too simple.”
Gao Jini said, “Master, in my opinion, it’s not that the matter is too simple or the plan is going too smoothly. Instead, it’s that you chose the correct thod and seized Zhao Ninglu’s weakness and the royal family’s needs, or rather, their urgent needs. That’s why we’ve been able to proceed so smoothly. All this is thanks to your rit, your grand strategy and leadership.”
Qi Tian shook his head and said, “I still don’t feel quite at ease. The royal family has been able to stand firm in this secret territory for so many years, tightly controlling it for thousands of years, ruling over millions of people within it, and remaining unshaken. Even the Wanjie Business Association, this mighty dragon, is cautious after entering the Imperial Family Secret Territory. We are far inferior to the Wanjie Comrce; we have no reason not to be careful.”
Gao Jini and Xia Xiaoming pondered thoughtfully.
Qi Tian continued, “Every Prince in the Imperial Family Secret Territory, who once were the dethroned emperors of the Great Zhao Nation, had, before ascending to the throne, competed against countless rivals for the imperial seat. After becoming the emperor, they even more so had to deal with all sorts of complex situations. After abdication, upon entering the Imperial Family Secret Territory, they compete with other Princes again. It can be said that each Prince who is alive today is no ordinary individual; they all possess a heart as exquisite as the seven apertures of a luminous heart. Are they really that easy to deceive? I think not. I believe that although our plan must still be pushed forward, we absolutely must not take risks. We need to be careful upon careful, cautious upon cautious. We would rather proceed slowly than make one false move and lose everything.”
Gao Jini nodded and replied, “Master, what you’ve said makes a lot of sense, and it was inconsiderate of . I do have one suggestion, though: aren’t our hands a bit too few? We now have a place to stay, and no matter whether Zhao Shibo suspects , he has to provide overt protection for us. Can we now start making contact with other people? If we could gather Zhao Haiying, Sun Xiang, and all of them together, our strength would increase significantly, and we would stand a higher chance against the imperial house.”
Qi Tian pondered for a mont and said, “We should take this step by step and not rush into action. After all, we have just settled in at the Prince Manor. We should not make too many moves. When we have truly taken root in the Prince Manor, and especially after we beco more familiar with the Eastern Capital City, including the various palaces, it won’t be late to contact Zhao Haiying and the others. Honestly, our three being together already catches quite a bit of attention. If we gather more people, how do we explain our identities to the outside world? We can’t all say we are fellow disciples, can we? Or claim we are from the sa hotown? Whether fellow disciples or from the sa hotown, it’s not easy for so many cultivators to appear in such a small area. If this area is supposed to be quite famous within the Imperial Family Secret Territory, when the ti cos, if the royal family cannot investigate, they will grow even more suspicious of our background.”
Through the Sound Transmission Skill, Qi Tian, Gao Jini, and Xia Xiaoming discussed for a long ti without coming up with a secure plan. As complete strangers to the Eastern Capital City, their understanding of the place was extrely limited. Moreover, now that they had taken residence in the Prince Manor, they knew nothing at all about it. Implenting their plans smoothly in completely unfamiliar circumstances was not an easy task. If they were powerful, it would be easier to just push through obstacles, but the issue was that none of the three possessed the strength to forcefully carry on with the plans. All they could do now was to take it one step at a ti, looking for suitable opportunities before making their move.
As they talked, night fell deeper, and when it was nearly midnight, Zhao Shibo returned from Zhao Ninglu’s residence. After entering the Prince Manor, he made a special trip to East Cross Court to visit Qi Tian and the others.
When he saw that Qi Tian and his companions had not yet slept, Zhao Shibo knocked on the door and said, “You three haven’t rested yet, have you? If the servants are not attentive enough, or if anything similar occurs, tell , and I will imdiately replace them with ones to your liking.”
Qi Tian responded, “Prince, we are just so excited by the honor you have bestowed upon us by allowing us to reside in the Prince Manor that we are unable to sleep.”
Zhao Shibo nodded and said, “I see. I was worried you might be uncomfortable with sothing. If that’s the case, you must tell . Don’t be polite with . From now on, think of this place as your own ho. Whatever you need, you can ask. You can’t consider an outsider, can you?”
Qi Tian bowed to Zhao Shibo and said, “Thank you for Your Highness’s generosity.”
Zhao Shibo continued, “I’ve co over this ti because there is sothing I need to discuss. After you left my daughter’s residence, I reported Xiang Bo’s situation to the Prince. The Prince has already sent a reply acknowledging it. Knowing the Prince as I do, if nothing unexpected happens, he will probably summon Xiang Bo tomorrow. At that ti, he might make so arrangents for Xiang Bo, and as for you, you might also receive the Prince’s summons. So, if there’s no pressing matter, none of you should leave my Prince Manor tomorrow. Moreover, early tomorrow morning, I will be waiting with you for the Prince’s summons. I will ask you to wait together in the Flower Hall.”
Qi Tian put on an expression of delighted surprise and said, “Even we are eligible for the Prince’s summons? That is wonderful news. We have always admired the Prince and have longed to et him. To have this opportunity co so soon, we have you to thank for your recomndation, Prince.”
Zhao Shibo laughed “he he,” waved his hand, and said, “It’s not just my recomndation that matters. You need to have real talent. If you didn’t, whatever I say would be in vain.”
