The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Led by the guards, Duan Tianyang stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.

Under his feet were flat and uniform marble tiles. Looking around, he saw guards in shining armor standing upright.

There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The rock-solid defense layout is like an iron wall, ensuring the safety of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Yi Tian carefully arranged a banquet.

At the main table, Yi Fan, Ling Ziyan, and several city lords and generals sat down in a distinguished manner. They all had noble status and a solemn aura. The surrounding tables were filled with generals under Yi Tian's command.

Among these people, Duan Tianyang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, that was Chen Ximeng, who had a fierce confrontation with him today.

At this moment, he was calm and composed, sitting at a table, and it was obvious that he had been invited to this banquet.

Duan Tianyang approached the hall, Yi Tian gestured with his hand, and a guard immediately came forward to lead him to his seat. Coincidentally, Duan Tianyang's seat was right next to Chen Ximeng's.

Seeing Duan Tianyang's appearance, Chen Ximeng felt very upset. With his Tiangang Realm third-level cultivation, he was defeated by a young man in the Yuanhua Realm, which made him feel ashamed.

When all the guests arrived, Yi Tian softly told the maid beside him: "Serve the food."

As soon as he finished speaking, two rows of maids walked in from outside the hall, each holding an exquisite tray filled with wine and food that were delicious and beautiful.

When all the dishes were served, Yi Tian waved to everyone with a smile on his face, saying: "Today's treasure hunt is undoubtedly the most exciting one I have watched in all these years. The match between Young Master Duan and Young Master Chen is simply breathtaking!"

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and continued, "I toast to the two young heroes!"

"Thank you, sir!" Duan Tianyang and Chen Ximeng responded in unison. At the same time, they quickly raised their respective wine glasses, looked at each other, and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

Yi Tian put down his wine glass, turned his gaze to Duan Tianyang and Chen Ximeng, and said solemnly: "I invited the two young men to the banquet today because I have something important to discuss with you."

He paused for a moment and continued, "A few days ago, my son and daughter were attacked by assassins in Xuanhuang City. Fortunately, Young Master Duan came to their rescue and they were safe. Although the assassins have all been killed, in order to ensure their safety, I hope that the two young masters can serve as personal guards and be responsible for their safety. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, a gleam flashed in Chen Ximeng's eyes. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he hurriedly left his seat, walked to the center of the hall, bowed and saluted, and said in a firm voice: "I am willing to serve you at my utmost and protect the safety of the young master and the princess until my death!"

Duan Tianyang's body trembled suddenly and he almost slipped off the chair.

He was nervous, but he still mustered up his courage and followed Chen Ximeng's example, walking to the center of the hall.

He bowed and saluted, and said with difficulty: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I know that my martial arts skills are mediocre, and I am afraid I can't take on such an important task."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was surprised. It was obvious that the city lord had high hopes for the two people who performed well in the treasure hunt competition.

As the Lord of the Divine Realm, Yi Tian has a high status. Being able to work under him, his future development prospects are limitless. Many people can't even ask for it, but Duan Tianyang is so ungrateful.

Yi Tian's face turned gloomy. As the lord of the divine realm, someone actually dared to reject him in person. This was clearly a slap in his face.

He asked in a bad tone, "Young Master Duan, do you feel that serving under me is unfair to you?"

Duan Tianyang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "I dare not!"

At this time, Yi Fan ran to Duan Tianyang with excitement, patted his shoulder enthusiastically, and said with admiration in his eyes: "Hero, I saw your bravery that night with my own eyes. From now on, just follow me, and I promise that you will have a good life."

You know nothing! Duan Tianyang was unwilling in his heart.

But Yi Tian and his son had already said this, and if he refused again in front of so many people, it would be really disrespectful to them.

Besides, being Yi Fan's bodyguard is definitely better than being that vicious woman's bodyguard. After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to agree.

He bowed to Yi Tian and Yi Fan and said, "Since the City Lord and the young master have no objection, I will do my best to ensure the young master's safety."

Yi Tian's originally gloomy expression gradually relaxed. He turned to Chen Ximeng and said gently, "Then, my daughter's safety is in the hands of Chen, young man."

Chen Ximeng's mood was instantly swept by ecstasy. Ling Ziyan in front of him was as beautiful as a visitor from outer space. What made him even more excited was that she might become the master of Xuanhuang City in the future.

He had also heard some rumors that Yi Tian intended to train the princess as his successor, and now, this rumored princess was standing before him.

If he could become the princess's personal bodyguard, that would be much better than being under the command of Yi Fan, a second-generation rich man. He might even have a chance to become the princess's consort.

Just as he was about to respond, Ling Ziyan, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up: "Adoptive father, although Young Master Chen's martial arts are high, Young Master Duan once saved Yan'er's life, and Yan'er has great confidence in him. Therefore, I think it is more appropriate to let Young Master Duan be responsible for my security. More importantly, compared with Yan'er's safety, my sworn brother's safety is more important."

The meaning of Ling Ziyan's words was clear. Although Duan Tianyang stood out in the treasure hunt competition, in terms of cultivation, Chen Ximeng was obviously better.

Therefore, having Chen Ximeng as Yi Fan's personal bodyguard can undoubtedly provide more reliable protection for his safety.

As Yi Fan's sister, she naturally wants to leave the best for her brother. This is both reasonable and shows that she is wise.

When Yi Tian suggested that the two of them stay and take up the position, Ling Ziyan actually felt a hint of joy in her heart.

In the past, she had been very critical of Duan Tianyang, mainly because he was ugly and useless, and could not meet her expectations.

However, when she met Duan Tianyang again, she was surprised to find that he was not only handsome, but also had great martial arts skills.

More importantly, she and Duan Tianyang are already husband and wife.

Therefore, if Duan Tianyang was willing to return to her arms, she would forgive him for leaving Huanyue City without saying goodbye and for deceiving her by using a fake identity.

"Haha!" Yi Tian laughed and said, "Then let's follow Yan'er's arrangement." From Yi Tian's attitude towards Ling Ziyan, it can be clearly seen that he likes her.

Yi Fan sighed helplessly. He had no right to speak here. Whatever Ling Ziyan said was the truth. He didn't even have the right to object.

Ling Ziyan raised the wine glass in her hand and said to Yi Tian: "Thank you, foster father. Yan'er toasts you a glass!"

Yi Tian smiled as he toasted Ling Ziyan and then drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Ximeng's face was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, while Duan Tianyang felt as if the sky was falling and he was not far from death.
