Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

That day.

A massive tide erupted once again within Central City.

All those who knew of the existence of the Imperial City were shocked beyond measure by the news.

The six great families of the Imperial City had become seven!

Instantly, all the top tier families dispatched everyone they could, eager to investigate which family had just become the Seventh Great Family of the Imperial City.

However, the Imperial City revealed not a whit of information about this matter, no matter how the families of Central City investigated, they obtained no news about the Seventh Great Family.

Yin Tian then returned to Yin Mansion.

He had not followed the King's suggestion to move with Su Qinwei and the other girls into the Imperial City.

Now in his hands, he held control over Dragon Hall, a force powerful enough to make a nation tremble, and he had no need to worry about someone causing trouble at his home.

Yet, the news of the Seventh Great Family of the Imperial City soon passed.

After all, several days went by without a hint of information, and though people were curious, they had no choice but to let it be.

For several consecutive days, Yin Tian stayed at home, living a simple yet fulfilling life with Su Qinwei and the other girls.

This kind of life was something Yin Tian had not experienced in who knows how long.

And from the Imperial City, there still was no news, nor did anyone come to trouble Yin Tian.

Every day, Yin Tian's business was to listen to Li Chang, the person in charge of Know-It-All, report on matters related to the Heretic Feng Shui Masters.

It could not be denied that the Heretic Feng Shui Masters' perseverance was truly incredible.

Even Yin Tian could not help but be astounded by them.

In just a few days, the Heretic Feng Shui Masters had regained a massive fighting force.

They still had not given up and were intent on draining the Fortune of everyone within Central City!

"These guys..."

Yin Tian blinked in surprise, "really eat beans without ever getting sick of them..."

"Yes."

Li Chang's wry voice came through, "Moreover, they've been frantically asking me to investigate, to figure out what exactly happened last time that made their efforts go to waste."

"How much did they lose?"

"Not much, just over twenty billion."

"Pfft!"

Yin Tian spat out the tea in his mouth, "How much? Over twenty billion?"

Yin Tian too was shocked by the number Li Chang had mentioned.

He truly hadn't expected that those Heretic Feng Shui Masters would be so wealthy, and in just a few days, Li Chang had managed to take more than twenty billion from them!

"Yeah."

Li Chang said with a bitter smile, "I also didn't expect them to be so rich. It seems, master, you really must have infuriated them last time."

"No worries."

Yin Tian waved his hand, smiling broadly, "Then just hang them out to dry a bit longer. After we scam another two billion or so, I'll tell them it was all my doing."

"We, as businessmen, especially those dealing in information, can't afford to smash our own rice bowls."

Li Chang: "..."

He had not expected Yin Tian to say something like that.

Regardless of how one heard it, that complaint sounded rather odd, didn't it?

"All right, I got it."

Li Chang's voice came through, "I'll inform you if there's any movement from the Li Family in the near future."

"Good."

Yin Tian responded, then hung up the phone.

After putting down his phone, Yin Tian sat in a recliner, pondering the activities of the Heretic Feng Shui Masters.

These fellows really did have determination.

After their plan was disrupted by him the last time, leading to the Heretic Feng Shui Masters losing all their focal points of their array, who would have thought that in just a few days, they would have gathered so many focal points again.

Such execution and financial power truly astounded Yin Tian!

But...

Yin Tian stroked his chin.

The Heretic Feng Shui Masters were so willing to go all out, did that mean the plan he had thought up long ago could continue?

The thought made Yin Tian's brain whir into action.

After a while, something occurred to him, and he stood up to head outside of Yin Mansion.

Yu Mingmiao, who was on her way to call Yin Tian to dinner from the back courtyard, paused in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"There's something I need to take care of..."

Yin Tian slowed down slightly, then continued towards the exit, "You all go ahead and eat; don't worry about me."

By the time he finished speaking, Yin Tian had already left the place.

"Always coming and going like a ghost; never know what he's up to,"

Yu Mingmiao muttered under her breath as she returned to the back yard.

Meanwhile, Yin Tian drove all the way to the gates of the Imperial City.

By now, the gatekeepers of the Imperial City already recognized Yin Tian and didn't obstruct him in the slightest, letting him through without delay.

Yin Tian rushed to the palace. With his gold token, he proceeded straight to the King's sleeping chambers.

Already well-versed in this series of procedures, Yin Tian confidently called out to someone hidden behind a rockery, "Honglong,

go inform the King that Yin Tian seeks an audience."
