29 The Governor's Foolish SonThe next morning, Qi Tian hurried into the city.
Starting from Notting City to the Star Forest Soul Hunt, there is a long journey in between without passing through any city.
Seeing that departure was imminent, Qi Tian decided to purchase food for the journey today.
As for how to get rid of Tang Hao's sight, he still didn't have a good idea.
However, Tang Hao had never shown up in these years. Now that he had chosen to graduate early, it was very likely that Tang Hao was not in Nottingham at this point in time. Even if he was discovered on the road, Qi Tian could still react flexibly. At worst, he could just pretend to obey Tang Hao's idea.
Nottingham seems particularly lively in the early morning.
Today is the once-a-month market day. Walking into the busy streets, both sides of the road are lined with small vendors hawking their wares.
A few years ago, Old Jack also sold vegetables here. As Qi Tian's savings grew and he sent money home regularly every month, Old Jack gradually gave up the idea of selling vegetables.
But for some reason, there were a lot of people from the Notting City Law Enforcement Team on the streets today. Although they were not wearing official uniforms, Qi Tian still recognized them at a glance.
"Uncle Ma, what's going on today? Is there another pickpocket stealing?" Qi Tian found one of his acquaintances and started chatting with him.
In previous years, such a scene was mostly to capture fugitive criminals. But today, Qi Tian did not receive any news.
He is a non-staff member of the city guard, but he will be called upon for any major operations.
The uncle Ma mentioned by Qi Tian was actually named Ma Benming, a captain of the city guard. He was very considerate of Qi Tian during the usual operations.
"Xiaotian, it's you. Today's operation is not to arrest criminals." Ma Benming glanced around and saw that no one noticed them, so he whispered: "It's like this, the governor of Fasno Province was just replaced not long ago."
"A new governor needs to inspect the situation of the cities under his jurisdiction as soon as he takes office. However, this time is a little special. Last night, the city lord received a letter from the governor, saying that the governor's son will enter the city today to inspect the situation in Nottingham."
"When the city lord heard the news, he immediately sent us out. This young master is not easy to deal with. I heard that the last time he inspected was in Scar City. Because the Scar City Lord did not treat him well, the city lord directly replaced him."
"The main reason I didn't let you come this time is because I was afraid that we might offend him unintentionally. When we find him, we can't expose his identity yet. We can only carefully accompany him to play this drama. Ah~ As expected, with a good background, the world should revolve around him."
After hearing this, Qi Tian's mind began to become active.
He must find this guy. The governor of Fasno Province is important enough. If Tang Hao has a conflict with him, he can hold Tang Hao back for a long time.
After thinking about it, Qi Tian felt that it was not a good idea to do so. After all, he had never seen the son of the governor, and it was unkind to directly harm others.
"What do you think of this new governor? Has he done anything good for the country and the people?"
Ma Benming sneered directly, "It's just that he has a good family background. His ancestor was an earl of the empire. At the royal banquet not long ago, this guy used a piece of fine northern cold jade to win the favor of Emperor Xue Ye. It allowed their long-deceased family to survive. Otherwise, his little fortune would have been squandered by his son long ago."
"And his son, I heard, had already slept with 10,000 people at a young age."
"Xiaotian, you have to keep this to yourself. The Governor is someone you can't afford to offend."
Qi Tian nodded heavily, and at the same time couldn't wait to find someone.
Ma Benming's words could be used to defame others. If he saw with his own eyes the governor's son bullying the people, don't blame him for being rude.
…
Knowing his next goal, Qi Tian started strolling around some brothels in the city.
If he is really an arrogant and domineering guy, then it won't be too difficult to find him.
The owners of these romantic places all have some connections in the Tiandou Empire's court. This is also a place that the city guards rarely set foot in.
Qi Tian was sitting in a teahouse on the roadside. As soon as the tea was served, he noticed the situation not far away.
There were two people, one old and one young. The young man was walking in front at a leisurely pace, while the old man was following behind him, looking around vigilantly.
The only noble family in Nottingham City is the City Lord's Mansion, and at most they are merchants.
The old man's steps were vigorous, and his aura was unfathomable. As for the merchants in Notting City, the bodyguards were at most great soul masters.
Qi Tian had a soul power of level 30, and with his amazing perception, it was easy for him to see the opponent's strength. But he couldn't figure out the old man in front of him, and he was almost noticed by the old man even if he just stared at him a few more times.
"It should be them, haha, it seems that what Uncle Ma said is somewhat true."
Qi Tian withdrew his gaze and drank his tea leisurely; at the same time, relying on his powerful mental strength, he watched the situation behind him.
The young man's behavior became more and more unscrupulous. Whenever he met a pretty girl, he would take the initiative to approach her and put out his dirty hands.
Most of the women walking on this street were prostitutes. Instead of being angry at the young man's actions, they took the initiative to move closer to him.
But the young man would not even look at these women who came closer to him.
Occasionally, women from ordinary families passed by on this street. After touching so many of them, the young man soon found his desired target.
Being taken advantage of by him, the girl looked timid and didn't even dare to say a word of rebuke. She just quickened her pace, trying to escape from his clutches.
The young man grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "Stop, do you know who I am? As long as you obey me, starting tomorrow, your father will be an official in Notting City. If you can satisfy me, your father will be very powerful. I can arrange for your father to be a high-ranking official in Fasno City."
"No, let me go." The girl tried to break free.
But no matter how weak the young man was, he was still a level 19 spirit master. No matter how hard the girl struggled, the young man had no intention of letting go.
"Huh, what a good second-generation official. It seems the time is ripe for my plan." Qi Tian sneered in his heart.
Before he could do anything, many passers-by on the street began to criticize the young man's behavior.
"In broad daylight, in clear view of the world, he dares to rob a woman in the street. Come with me and take him to the City Lord's Mansion." A middle-aged man among the passers-by shouted.
The young man was not in a hurry. He laughed and said, "You are really a bunch of ignorant low-class people. My father is the governor of Fasno Province. If you ruin my elegance, don't blame me for punishing you."
Then, the old man behind him took a step forward.
The old man snorted coldly, and a powerful soul wave overturned the onlookers. Six soul rings of white, yellow, purple, and black then appeared under the old man's feet.
"Soul Emperor"
The man who had just taken the lead in speaking disappeared in a flash.
No matter who the young man's father is, this Soul Emperor-level old man is not someone they can afford to offend.
