Chapter 22
C22 – This Is My Welcome Party
Choo Qin’s abrupt declaration left everyone bewildered.
Though the reason behind Zhen Qiuqiu’s miraculous recovery was unknown, they were in the Rain Listening Pavilion, a haven for the elite. Surely, he wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble in such a place?
But in the next instant, the sudden appearance of a wall of fire and the gradual increase in temperature took the nobles by surprise.
“He’s a mage!”
“Guards! Guards! We’re in the Rain Listening Pavilion!”
Chaos erupted throughout the hall, with everyone’s eyes wide in shock.
It wasn’t so much that Choo Qin was a mage that surprised them—aside from a select few at the top, most had never even seen him before.
What truly astonished them was the audacity of someone making a move in Long Song City.
This was utterly unexpected.
After all, Long Song City might not be large, but it was still a county seat! Setting aside the Mage Guild, the Earl Mansion alone boasted nearly a hundred mages!
Moreover, the use of such wide-ranging spells was strictly forbidden within the city, especially against nobility. Had Choo Qin lost his mind?
“Hmph! The prince has quite the nerve! I wondered where your confidence came from. Turns out, you’re just a minor mage.”

Jiaang Guangran let out a cold snort.
He had intended to embarrass Choo Qin, but the transformation of the so-called ugly woman had thrown him off. Now it all made sense.
He was pondering his next move when Choo Qin unexpectedly took a stand.
“Nowadays, some mages are so full of themselves, thinking they can flout noble laws just because they’ve learned a few tricks.”
“This is the Rain Listening Pavilion, not your royal palace!”
Among the nobility, outright confrontations were rare. Even when there were feuds, they typically resorted to subtle difficulties, much like Jiaang Guangran’s approach with Choo Qin.
But no one anticipated that Choo Qin would breach the aristocracy’s most sacred taboo right from the start!
The guards swiftly moved in, encircling Choo Qin and vigilantly monitoring his every move.
The mages present at the banquet were even more cautious, their senses sharpened in anticipation of any sudden developments.
While the aristocrats might have been in the dark, several High Level Mages had already detected something amiss with Choo Qin. The fire wall encasing the Rain Listening Pavilion was significantly denser than anyone had anticipated.
This Loser Royal Highness is no simpleton!
“Hahahaha, you’ve walked into hell with no way out!”
“Go, seize him! Today, I, Jiaang Guangran, will show you what it means to be human!”
“Do you really think you’re still the prince of old? Without your title back then, you would have been scorned by everyone!”
“A loser is always a loser. You rank lower than a Baron in your own territory. You must be the most pathetic Royal Highness in the entire Qilin Empire!”
Jiaang Guangran was on a tirade, his years of pent-up resentment causing the magic in the air to stir.
The shadows cast by Choo Qin during their youth in the Imperial City suddenly resurfaced.
But alas.
Choo Qin’s gaze remained untouched, without a hint of fear.
“Oh?”
“You’re sure you want to teach me how to be human?”
“Today is my welcome party! Don’t think I’m oblivious to the schemes of you nobles!”
“Trying to intimidate me? Preach about the laws of noble interests? Haha, forget my royal status for a moment; even your father would have to greet me with respect!”
“However, today I don’t wish to leverage my title over you. In fact, let me be clear: I’m here to rob you blind!”
A smirk played on Choo Qin’s lips. He had been somewhat cautious before arriving in Long Song City, uncertain of his own strength.
But after his exchange with Van Wan at the Mage Guild, he realized that as a Sorcerer, he was among the elite combatants in Long Song City!
Having been here for some time, he hadn’t encountered anyone who could match him. The Rain Listening Pavilion didn’t seem all that formidable either.
Choo Qin knew one thing for certain.
As a top combatant,
it was time for action, not words!
