Immortal Mage: I Just Have To Wait It Out - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Assassination

Listening to the cold tone, the Right Minister felt as if his heart was grabbed by an invisible hand. His breathing was uncomfortable, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fortunately, Ye Tian only wanted to intimidate the other party and did not take his life.

When Ye Tian looked away, the Right Minister instantly felt the pressure on his body disappear.

“People have to submit to old age. After being an official for so long, do you think you can order around anyone?”

With his back facing the Right Minister, Ye Tian said coldly and left with his plate.

Whoosh- His rapid breathing slowly calmed down. The Right Minister wiped the water droplets on his forehead with his trembling hand and stared at Ye Tian’s back with a complicated gaze.

So powerful!

In fact, the Right Minister had also come into contact with magic when he was young. He was a mage.

Later, when he went into politics, he spent a lot of time dealing with government affairs every day, and he slowly abandoned the matter of magic power cultivation.

Previously, when he heard the information sent back by the soldiers at the front line, the Right Minister was filled with doubts.

He did not think that humans could unleash such powerful strength, even if they were mages. Moreover, Ye Tian looked so young. All sorts of factors overlapped, causing the Right Minister to not be able to hold back. Ignoring the Monarch’s warning, he still chose to probe.

Perhaps because his mood was disturbed, Ye Tian informed the Monarch before leaving the banquet.

The residence that the Monarch had arranged for Ye Tian was not far from the palace. After leaving the inner city, he could walk for ten minutes.

The house was very large. It was a three-story ancient castle with a Western style. There was a fountain at the entrance.

There were obvious signs of re-cleaning in the house. Even the furniture seemed to be new. There was no smell of mold that had been left there for a long time.

Servants had been arranged here in advance. When Ye Tian arrived home, someone immediately came out to welcome him.

“Greetings, my lord.”

A total of five women knelt in front of Ye Tian.

“You guys get up first.”

Ye Tian raised his hand and walked around the room.

The five servants were beautiful and young.

One of the women was slightly older and had been following Ye Tian, introducing him to the situation in the room.

From the furniture to the floor, everything had been specially and meticulously built by the Monarch recently.

How considerate…

After understanding, Ye Tian could not help but mutter in his heart.

He was not someone who liked to owe people favors. The Monarch’s behavior made things very difficult for him.

Considering that his actions had indeed saved the Red Moon Empire, Ye Tian felt much better.

In the following days, Ye Tian stayed in the capital.

He specifically instructed his steward that he would not see anyone unless it was a special or emergency situation.

The servant was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask and silently noted it down.

Ye Tian’s daily life was very simple, even simpler than in Rock Town. Every day, if he was hungry, he only needed to say the word and someone would prepare delicious food and serve it.

With a lot of time, Ye Tian focused more on cultivation.

In addition, he had also obtained many magic books from the Monarch.

These books were stored in the treasury and with Ye Tian’s status, no one dared to reject him.

Time passed just like that.

A year later.

Ye Tian walked alone on the streets, listening to the commotion around him.

“It’s great to take some time out.”

Every time he meditated, it would make people ignore the passage of time.

Ye Tian often sighed. It was as if he was not a mage but a cultivator.

However, he realized that occasionally coming out for a walk and chatting with others seemed to improve his state of mind.

Every time he stopped meditating, he would relax and walk around. When he returned, the sluggish feeling would disappear.

“Boss, a bowl of noodles please.” Walking to a stall, Ye Tian said to the boss and found a seat.

“Yo, I haven’t seen you in a few days.”

The stall owner looked up and revealed a familiar smile.

“Yes, I had something on a few days ago.’ Ye Tian picked up his chopsticks and smashed them on the table to make them align before replying.

The boss moved quickly. A bowl of steaming handmade noodles was served. On the broth with oily threads, the shredded meat was piled up.

“Enjoy.”

Ye Tian pointed at the shop owner with his chopsticks in amusement when he saw the shop owner bending over to flatter him. Previously, when Ye Tian was strolling around the city at night, he happened to encounter his boss being troubled and he helped him once. From then on, the two of them could be considered acquaintances. Every time the boss saw Ye Tian, he would give him more meat.

Just as Ye Tian was enjoying the food, a head retracted from a corner of the street.

In the shadows, there were three other people besides him.

“It’s him?”

One of them confirmed with the person who was spying on them.

The man nodded.

“Yes, he’s Ye Tian!”

“Finally, we’ve waited. Kill him and avenge our senior brothers!”

The three of them were filled with righteous indignation as anger appeared on their faces. The person who had spoken earlier berated him. Then, he lowered his voice and gave some instructions. The four of them left through another alley.

“Candied hawthorn, I’m selling candied hawthorn…”

At the end of the street, a vendor was selling candied hawthorns on his back as he walked to the other side.

Passing by the noodle stall, he stopped, sniffed, and walked over.

“What fragrant noodles. I’m hungry. Boss, give me a bowl.”

“Alright, take a seat first.”

The boss’s voice was filled with joy. The candied hawthorn vendor walked to the dining table behind Ye Tian and placed the candied hawthorn on his back before sitting down. Just as his butt was about to touch the stool, the vendor suddenly pulled out a short dagger from his waist and stabbed Ye Tian’s back.

Crash!

A bowl of noodle soup flew from Ye Tian’s face and landed on the vendor’s face. The vendor did not care at all. His hands did not stop moving, but in the next second, he felt as if the hand holding the dagger was clamped by a pair of pliers. While the pain was intense, it was difficult for him to move. “Who told you to kill me?” At that moment, Ye Tian turned around and looked at the other party coldly. The peddler let out a low shout and released the dagger. He caught it in midair with his other hand and launched another attack. However, Ye Tian was faster than him and raised his right leg to kick.

As soon as the peddler’s figure shot out, screams immediately sounded directions.

from all The noodle stall owner did not run away immediately. Instead, he picked up a wooden stick and seemed to be prepared to help.

Amidst the chaos, two more figures charged out and attacked Ye Tian with weapons. “Looks like it’s been planned for a long time.” Without panicking, Ye Tian looked at the two of them and glared hard. Instantly, an invisible fluctuation erupted and the two of them could not even hold their weapons. “Watch your head.”

At that moment, a clear voice sounded and a woman charged towards Ye Tian.

A ball of fire was falling at an extremely fast speed.

“You burned my senior brother to death.

Today, I’ll let you have a taste of being burned!”

The person who had been spying on them earlier was in the distance, looking smugly at the falling fireball.

The next second, his expression was filled with shock.

Ye Tian snapped his fingers calmly and a black hole appeared in the void, devouring the fireball.
