Chapter 501: The Well-behaved Jiushiti
"Haha, Ivan, you guys are too slow."

Time passed like water. Above the China Continent, not far from Dongdu, an airship was hovering steadily in the sky, waiting for the Cloud Shuttle to approach.

The two airships were still some distance apart when Ivan on the deck saw a smiling man standing opposite him.

This man was none other than Hotes, and the airship was his Thunder Wolf.

"Good morning, Lord Hotes, when did you arrive?"

Ivan looked at Hotes speechlessly as he was showing off. This guy really didn't have the demeanor of an arcane wizard at all. He just wanted to fight for everything.

On the return journey, they were not in a hurry, so the Cloud Shuttle did not travel at full speed on the road.

The same cannot be said for the Thunder Wolf, and it even set off two days in advance, which clearly shows its ulterior motives.

"Haha, I've been here for quite some time. I've been waiting for you here. After all, Dongdu is your territory. It's not appropriate for a guest like me to enter the city before you arrive."

"I will definitely entertain you well when we get to Dongdu."

"Haha, it's settled then."

During the conversation, Hotes did not treat Ivan as a third-level wizard. In his mind, Ivan would definitely become an arcane wizard in the near future.

By then, it will be hard to say who has a higher status.

"Wizard Hotes, what is it that makes you so happy? Tell me." President Hatti appeared in a flash, so fast that it seemed like there was no sign at all.

"Ahem, it's nothing serious. Ivan said he would treat me well, and I'm happy."

Hotes immediately stopped smiling. Facing this old man who seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he somehow always felt a little scared.

"With Ivan entertaining you, it seems there is no need for this wizard to entertain you personally." Hati said with a faint smile.

"No, no, you go about your business, don't worry about me." Hotes quickly signaled, feeling that this had somewhat weakened his momentum, he then added:
"I promised others that I would protect Ivan's safety before he was promoted to an arcane wizard."

"I see. Sorry for your trouble, Wizard Hotes." Hathi nodded slightly.

"You're welcome. This is my duty," Hotes said solemnly.

Afterwards, Ivan and his group were "driven" to the Thunder Wolf by President Hati. The two airships flew slowly towards Dongdu Dongren City, one after the other.

"Hortes, was what you just said true or false?"

On the Thunder Wolf, Ivan found an opportunity to ask, it was the first time he knew of such a thing.

"Of course, I'm sure you can guess who that person is."

Hotes gave an affirmative answer and emphasized very seriously: "Ivan, I failed to protect Tanya before. This time, even if I risk my life, I will definitely keep you safe."

"It's making you tired."

Ivan could sense the determination in his words.

The last time, Tanya was murdered, which made Hotes feel upset for many years and he still can't get over it.

At this moment, the King of the Sky was willing to give him a chance for redemption, so he was naturally happy to do it.

It seems like there is some kind of closed loop between the three of them.

Hotes lost to Tanya and has always felt resentful about it; Tanya was in trouble and found hope in Ivan; Ivan's current situation is not very good and he really needs someone to protect him, and Hotes is a good candidate.

In a sense, the three of them helped each other.

The Thunder Wolf was always accompanied by lightning as it sailed, and its momentum was unmatched by ordinary airships, and it soon arrived in Dongdu.

After nearly eight years, Ivan returned to the city again.

Not long after entering the city, the Xunmu Tower was within reach.

The two parties had contacted each other in advance. At this moment, Justie, Penny, Angela, Danlin, Ivan's student Helen, and others all gathered together to greet them.

"Evan, your concubines have come out to greet you."

Looking at the beautiful girls with different postures in front of the wizard tower, Hotes gave Tanya a meaningful look and brought up the topic without hesitation.

"You said that as if you didn't have it."

Ivan knew what he was thinking, but the situation between him and Tanya was not like that at all, so he didn't need to explain anything to Tanya.

Hotes didn't say much, and looked like he was ready to watch a show.

"I'll introduce them to you." Ivan thought for a moment and said to Tanya who was not far away.

"I understand what you mean. I won't make things difficult for anyone." Tanya immediately understood.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and established the basic rules in just a sentence or two.

As for Jushiti, Purnie and others, will they make things difficult for Tanya?
Tanya is a tri-wizard and flying knight, and she is accompanied by a lord-level warrior. It is good enough that she does not bully others. Anyone who dares to pluck hair from a tiger's head must be thinking he has died.

On the other side, as this unique airship approached, Jiushi and others also saw a group of people on the deck, including Tanya, Mara, etc.

Although they had some doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to act rashly when they saw the extraordinary aura and pressure from the people opposite them.

The atmosphere became a little tense during this long-awaited meeting.

Ivan did not hide anything and introduced Horts and Grace first.

Then, he directly pointed out Tanya's identity as 'Lady Marichaton', from the Fitzrod family, and stated that it was appointed by the King of the Sky. Now, the authenticity of the marriage contract is no longer important.

What comes out of the mouth of the King of the Sky becomes true, even if it is false. No one in the wizarding world will question the words of the King of the Sky.

Of course, neither would Ivan.

After listening to his introduction, Justie, Purnie and Danlin were a little confused as to how such a big shot was involved all of a sudden. On the other hand, the Centaur Angela lacked knowledge of the wizarding world and was confused by what she heard.

Seeing that several people were puzzled, Ivan attributed the reason to the research on the return tower and explained it briefly.

What he said was brief, but Locke and Morris could not stand it anymore and started praising the Return Tower from the side, saying how it was earth-shattering and famous, and they wanted to use all the good words to describe the Return Tower.

Jiushiti and the others suddenly realized.

It turned out that her husband was so outstanding that he was valued by the big shots above and was betrothed to him as the daughter of her family.

They were happy but helpless and could only greet Tanya.

Tanya acted very generous and friendly, handing out expensive gifts and words of enticement, which even made people feel a little flattered.

The scene is very harmonious.

Later, Tanya, Grace and Mara moved into the Swiftwood Tower.

Hotes and Morris preferred to live on the Thunder Wolf, which was moored on the side of the Swiftwood Tower, very close to each other.

At some point in the afternoon, Ivan specifically sought out Jiushi for a private visit.

"Justi, regarding Tanya, actually--"

"I understand. As you become stronger, this is a matter of time. I have always known that as long as I have a place by your side, I will be satisfied."

Without letting Ivan explain anything, Jiushi, who was nestled in his arms, took the initiative to express her thoughts.

Jiushi has always been a person who is easily satisfied.

It can be seen from the fact that when they were both apprentices, she was willing to wait in the small castle in Sanggu Territory rather than go to the Wizarding Academy.

All along, she couldn't even suppress Penny, let alone a noble lady from the top family in Berta Blood Plain.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiushi figured it out herself. It didn't matter whether she was the legitimate wife of Marichatton or not. What was important was to have a stable position beside Ivan.

"If I say the engagement is fake, would you believe it?"

Ivan looked at her steadily for a while, and finally told her the truth.

I am not a person who breaks my promise easily.

Upon hearing this, Jiushiti was visibly stunned.

"Remember, don't tell anyone, including Penny and the others," Ivan said again.

"Yeah, I'll listen to you and won't tell anyone."

Jiushiti smiled sweetly and nodded repeatedly, obviously believing what he said.

Then, she thought of something and a strange color flashed across her smile.

"what happened?"

"I know this is only temporary, but Ivan, I'm really happy that you could tell me secretly."

"Why do you say that?"

Ivan looked at her in surprise, wondering what she was thinking about.

"With your charm, Ivan, Miss Tanya will fall in love with you sooner or later. Then the fake will become real, and she will still be the lady of the Marichatton family." Jiusi muttered.

"Haha, maybe you're right." Ivan was also stunned for a moment, then laughed. "By the way, how is your wine brewing going?"

"I think it's pretty good, do you want to see it?"

"We'll talk about it later. Let me see you first. After I see the beautiful woman, I'll go see the wine."

Speaking of brewing wine, Jiushi was about to struggle to stand up, but Ivan hugged her and held her horizontally. The room suddenly became lively and full of spring.

After a long time, the two went to see the fine wine she had brewed.

After the previous failure in the Thunder Light Wine, Jiushiti learned from her mistakes and became more courageous. After spending several years, she finally brewed a fine wine - Deep Blue Light.

After tasting it, Ivan did not hesitate to praise it. It was indeed a fine wine, very strong.

However, Danlin did not relax either, and also continued to innovate and achieve greater success.

The former's wine is strong, while the latter's wine is soft, and each has its own unique features.

With the fine wine brewed by the two men with great effort, Ivan fulfilled what he said before entering the city and entertained Hotes and others well, and both the host and the guests were very happy.

Hotes likes strong liquor.

Grace, somewhat unexpectedly, also preferred stronger liquor.

In a sense, having conquered two lord-level warriors, Jiushiti's wine is undoubtedly half the winner.
