The boy was around fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and straight. He was wearing a top-grade ground-level spirit military robe with dozens of runes hidden in the intricate embroidery. His nose was sharp, lips rosy, and teeth white. If not for the superior look in his bright eyes, he would have easily endeared people to him.
As soon as the boy landed, Jiang Miao rushed toward him. He nodded and bowed humbly. His respectful attitude made his previous encounters with Qi Tian and Bai YuJie a mere trifle.
“Mr. Cai, glad you finally made it,” Jiang Miao’s face was filled with a fawning smile as he said, “As you instructed, I have prepared ten individual cages for you.”
He had just spent some effort and money to shift a mount from the upper guest mount storage to the middle-level guest mount storage, finally making up the number of individual cages.
Mr. Cai haughtily replied, “Jiang Miao, have everyone except for the relevant stakeholders leave the mount storage area. When our esteemed guest arrives, if they are accidentally offended, they won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
Jiang Miao quickly responded, “Rest assured, Mr. Cai, all unrelated people have been cleared out of the mount storage area. No one will offend your distinguished guest.”
Mr. Cai glanced at Qi Tian and Bai YuJie. Tiling up his chin, he asked, “What about them?”
Jiang Miao responded, “They are from the City Lord’s Mansion and, just like you, they are also our esteemed guests from the Lianying Trade Union.”
On hearing that Qi Tian and the others were from the City Lord’s Mansion, Mr. Cai didn’t say anything more. Although self-assured about his strong background, he was savvy enough not to provoke the local powers, like the City Lord’s Mansion, unless necessary. He cast an oblique glance at Qi Tian, “I suppose you two mainly play a leading role? Don’t say I didn’t warn you of our impending distinguished guests; mind your behavior and don’t accidentally offend them.”
Without waiting for Qi Tian’s response, Mr. Cai whistled to the sky. The shrill sound like a whistle instantly reached the ears of everyone riding their demonic bird mounts.

People who were either standing or sitting on the backs of their demonic birds all jumped down. Their clothes fluttering, like immortals descending to the mortal realm, they gave off a sense of beauty and splendor.
Once these people landed, they naturally formed a semi-circle and placed a fifteen or sixteen-year girl in the center, shielding her. The girl at the center had delicate hands, snow-white skin, eyebrows like green feathers, teeth like pearls, commanding respect without a trace of anger. She had an aura of unapproachability about her. Even the boys and girls around her maintained a distance of about three feet, none daring to get too close.
Although Mr. Cai tried hard to control his emotions, everyone could see his buoyant steps and strong impulse to show himself off. He composed himself and stepped in front of the girl, bowing, “Miss Li, I have arranged everything for you to ensure the best shopping experience. Please head to the Lianying Trade Union while I will arrange for your mount. Jiang Miao, over here.”
Jiang Miao hurried over, bowed, and asked, “Mr. Cai, what orders do you have?”
Mr. Cai pointed at the girl and then others, saying, “These people, especially Miss Li, are esteemed guests of our Cai family. Your Lianying Trade Union must treat them well. If anything goes wrong, believe it or not, I will tear down your Lianying Trade Union.”
“Be assured, our Lianying Trade Union will definitely take good care of all our distinguished guests. Miss Li, esteemed guests, please follow me.”
Of course, Jiang Miao didn’t believe Mr. Cai would tear down the Lianying Trade Union. But as a businessman, he naturally would not refute Mr. Cai’s face at such a time. Arrogant, but wealthy characters like Mr. Cai were the kind of clients that the Lianying Trade Union most welcomed. As long as they understood their temper and served them well, they could earn huge profits from such clients.
Jiang Miao led Miss Li and others away with dignity and cheerfulness. Compared to him, he lacked the necessary respect for Qi Tian, who was repeatedly emphasized as a “distinguished guest” from the City Lord’s Mansion in the mouth of Bai YuJie.
Qi Tian didn’t say anything, but Bai YuJie was somewhat angry, yet he suppressed his anger. This Mr. Cai, Cai Wenzhi, knew him to some extent. He was a direct-line disciple of the Cai family, one of the strongest forces and major families in the Lianying Realm, and the direct grandson of the current Family Master of the Cai family. His status was much more prestigious than his position as captain of the Aerial Guard Team.
The Guchuan City Lord’s Mansion is also regarded as a top-tier force in the Lianying Realm, but it is ranked relatively low amongst those top forces. The main power comes from the City Lord, Zhuang Yanran. The Cai family, on the other hand, is an outstanding presence among these top forces. Aside from the Family Master, Cai Hui, they have three elders at the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, including Cai Chaomin. They are, undoubtedly, a force to be reckoned with in the Lianying Realm.
Even though Cai Wenzhi comes from the Cai family, he is somewhat cautious and respectful when facing Lady Li. Bai YuJie cannot believe which force she must be from. He even questions whether there are any other forces powerful enough to instill fear in the Cai family besides those that are equally formidable.
At this moment, Cai Wenzhi’s second whistle rings out. Upon hearing this whistle, the expression on Bai YuJie’s face changes drastically. As the Captain of the Aerial Guard Team, he knows exactly what this whistle means. He tries to stop it but it’s already too late.
Upon the sound of this whistle, the demonic birds that had been hovering in the skies break into a shrill shriek. They each aim at their targets, retracting their wings and diving toward the ground like arrows shot from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a few of the mounts found within the low grade and middle-grade sections showcase are victimized by these demonic birds, some are impaled in the spine by the sharp claws of the birds, while others have their heads pecked open, their brain matter flowing out.
The mount holding area is a complete mess, with countless frightened mounts crying out in despair and terror.
Watching this scene unfold, Cai Wenzhi breaks into a triumphant laugh. He knew that such an act was unsporting and could result in criticism, but so what? His intention was to use this opportunity to show the world the might of the Cai family.
Did they just devour your mounts? Well then, I will reimburse you afterwards. That is if you dare to ask. First and foremost, I must ensure that my mount is pleased. If my mount is content, I won’t be uncomfortable, isn’t that so?
Almost all the mounts have descended from the skies, save for one singular demonic bird circling above the VIP mounts’ storage area, continuously flapping its wings, prowling, and searching.
The height at which the demonic bird was flying was about ten or twenty meters above the ground, not too high, but still visible from the ground. The demonic bird is unlike the others.
Most demonic birds resemble birds, but this particular one seemed to be different. It has the appearance of a leopard, its body entirely red with spots of black dotting its body, eagle wings sprouting from its back. Long whiskers swing from either side of the mouth. A dense layer of fluff covers its neck and abdomen. Most notably, there’s a horn growing from the center of its face.
This demonic bird is unlike anything Qi Tian or Bai YuJie has ever seen or even heard of before in the Lianying Realm.
The aura exuded by this demonic bird was particularly threatening and dreadful. With every flap, its circles became narrower and narrower. Bai YuJie had an excellent understanding of the predatory habits of demonic birds. He realized this was the prelude to the bird selecting its target. He looked down to see Hu Niu in the center of the demonic bird’s circle.
Hu Niu, instinctively sensing danger, held up her head as her muscles tensed in readiness. She was filled with unease and aggression.
Roar…
Hu Niu issued continuous warning growls toward the oddly-shaped demonic bird.
Cai Wenzhi was rather attentive to this demonic bird, noticing that it had decided to target Hu Niu. With a smug laugh, he said: “This Golden Flur Tiger is yours, right? That’s convenient, just open the cage and let Li’s Red Sky Eagle feast on it for lunch. Afterwards, I may put in a good word with her, who knows, she might even reward you something if she’s pleased.”
“How audacious, Mr. Cai. You unabashedly allow inflicted damages on everyone’s mounts in our Guchuan City. Where does that put us in your regard?” Bai YuJie retorted.
Cai Wenzhi laughed heartily, “This is the top-grade area owned by the Lianying Trade Union, and they have yet to make a fuss. Who do you think you are to be making accusations? You think I don’t know who you are? Regardless if you are the captain of the Aerial Guard Team or even if it were Zhuang Yanran himself, it’s not your place to meddle in my business. I’ll give you one last chance. Either you open the cage yourself and satiate the Red Sky Eagle or I will do it for you but remember, once I step in, don’t expect any favors.”
Indeed, Bai YuJie was quite daunted by Cai Wenzhi’s audacious display. He dared to confront Jiang Miao as he knew that the Lianying Trade Union represented by Jiang Miao would tolerate small offenses from local forces like themselves. Cai Wenzhi, however, was representing the arrogant and superior Cai family. If he thought he could challenge the Cai family with the backing of the City Lord’s Mansion, he was gravely mistaken.
Before Bai YuJie could come to a decision, Qi Tian leaped onto the fence of Hu Niu’s enclosure in three strides. His legs were spread apart and somewhat bent, his right hand clenched into a fist, looking resolute and fervent in the face of the threat issued by the Red Sky Eagle. Hu Niu was his mount. And anyone daring to harm his mount would have to face him.
