At the city gate of West-side City.
More than a hundred Ximen clan members were gathered. They lined up in a neat line, preparing to welcome Samuel.
Countless people in West-side City were puzzled by this scene.
Every citizen of West-side City knew how high the Ximen family's status was in Royal Court, so they couldn't imagine what kind of person came to make Ximen family welcome them.
"Could it be the presence of the Emperor?"
"How could it be? When did the Emperor leave the Royal Dragon Palace? Haven't you heard of a legend? The Emperor is first only in the Royal Dragon Palace." "But in addition to the Emperor, is there anyone else worthy of the Ximen clan's grand welcome?"
Just as everyone was guessing, Samuel's carriage finally arrived at the gate of the city.
After the carriage stopped, Ximen Jin and Zhong Qishan quickened their pace and walked to the side of the carriage.
"Mr. Hannigan," Ximen Jin greeted respectfully.
"Lead the way." Samuel said faintly. He did not intend to get off the carriage. He did not expect Ximen Jin to create such a big scene. Under the watch of a countless number of people, Samuel was not willing to be judged like a monkey in a cage.
"Yes." Ximen Jin immediately got his Ximen family subordinates to clear the way and clear out all the spectators on the main road in the city.
The carriage went all the way to the gate of the Ximen clan.
In the Ximen mansion with a golden lacquer plaque, two stone lions at the door looked up to the sky and roared, revealing sharp fangs which seemed to be able to scare away all evil spirits.
Samuel felt like he was in an ancient palace when he entered the mansion. Both its size and decorations were more luxurious than that of the Chens in Dragon Cloud City.
However, for Ximen clan, this was just a small amount of money. After all, it was the first family clan in the Royal Court.
Their old house naturally had an unusual luxury.
"Mr. Hannigan, is there anything that I can help you with by coming to West-side City? " Ximen Jin walked beside Samuel. There was a slight distance behind him. This was completely the attitude of a servant.
"As the saying goes, one doesn't come without a reason. Since I'm here to find you, I naturally need your help," Samuel said.
"This is what I should do, and there is no need to say help'," Ximen Jin said sincerely. In the face of an expert like Samuel, Ximen Jin had never thought of betraying him after gaining status. Of course, it was not that he did not have ideas, but that he did not have the courage.
"I want to set up a sect in West-side City or nearby. Do you have a good place to introduce it to?" Samuel said.
Setting up a new sect!
Ximen Jin's heart skipped a beat.
While he was speaking with Zhong Qishan earlier, Ximen Jin had expressed his speculations about Samuel's intentions. Now, he was even more certain that Samuel was thinking about it. If not, how could he have established a sect for no reason?
"Twenty miles east of West-side City is Phoenix Mountain. There is a lake as round as a mirror at the foot of the mountain. It is the most beautiful place near West-side City I think. If Mr. Hannigan is interested, I can take you there to have a look," Ximen Jin said.
