A man wearing iron armor walked swiftly through the garden paths surrounded by small bridges and flowing water.
This was an extremely jarring scene.
A Jiangnan-style courtyard featured a figure clad in heavy armor.
Yet for all this to appear here was entirely normal.
This very place was Imperial Sword Manor.
The man in silver iron armor stopped outside a room's door, bowing as he said, "Young Villa Lord! Second Uncle asks you to go to the front hall."
"Got it! Go report, I'll be right there." A voice came from inside the room.
Hearing this, the ironclad guard gave a salute and immediately headed back the way he came.
Inside the room,
Wang Ming, seated behind a solid wood desk, put away the flower-like crystal flame that had been floating and flickering in his palm.
Originally, the original body's father, Yin Hao—who was also the Villa Lord of Imperial Sword Manor—had sent out hero invitations to the world a month ago, inviting martial world people to come to Imperial Sword Manor to witness the ceremony.
Yin Hao decided to abdicate in favor of Yin Tianqi, letting Yin Tianqi succeed him as the head of Imperial Sword Manor.
He hoped that once Yin Tianqi became the Villa Lord of Imperial Sword Manor, he would settle down, understand the responsibilities on his shoulders, and stop being so naive.
Wang Ming knew that the original plot had such a twist.
Yin Hao's plan was great, a stage painstakingly set up for his son, but with him here, the smooth transition of power was destined to fail.
Wang Ming had no intention of making trouble and was quite willing to play along with their performance.
Pity...
Yin Tianxue and the Tong Clan would not let any of this go smoothly.
