The next day! Early morning!

"System check-in!" Xia Taige shouted excitedly, full of anticipation for today's surprise.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and received a white tiger, a mythical beast.]

As the system notification sounded, Xia Taige's heart skipped a beat.

"Silver shaded!"

The word instantly popped into his mind.

As someone who traveled from the modern world, Xia Taige was well aware of the captivating charm and adorable appearance of silver shaded cats.

In her past life, whenever Xia Taige saw a majestic tiger, her heart was always filled with longing. She yearned to one day get up close to them, touch their soft fur, and enjoy the pleasure of petting them.

Unexpectedly, my dream has now become a reality.

"System, withdraw rewards!"

Xia Taige couldn't wait to issue the order.

Immediately afterwards, another dazzling white light flashed, just like when the husky was summoned earlier.

In the blink of an eye, a mighty and majestic white tiger appeared before them.

Its appearance closely resembles a tiger in the traditional sense, but its entire body is covered with black and white fur, making it as beautiful and moving as a meticulously painted ink painting.

The enormous head looked majestic, the sharp fangs were terrifying, the strong and powerful limbs seemed to contain endless power, and the broad and thick tiger paws were like huge palm fans. Just looking at it made people's hearts pound and their blood run cold!

"Roar!"

A deafening tiger's roar suddenly rang out, echoing all around.

Those bright, piercing eyes shone with a cold light, as if they could see through everything in the world;

At the same time, it exudes an aura of dominance that overlooks everything, inspiring awe in people.

At that very moment, a powerful sense of awe that struck deep into the soul overwhelmed Xia Taige, causing him to involuntarily hold his breath and stand frozen in place.

When Xia Taige finally recovered from his shock, he couldn't suppress his inner impulse and took a step forward involuntarily, eager to personally experience the endless fun of petting a cat!

Just then, the white tiger, which had been lying quietly, seemed to sense Xia Taige's approach. It slowly stretched out its enormous head and affectionately rubbed it against Xia Taige's body.

Seeing that the white tiger was about to stick out its tongue to show affection, Xia Taige quickly stopped it.

With its dense barbs, if Xia Taige were to lick it, given his cultivation level, he would probably have a piece of flesh torn off.

When Xia Taige arrived, the white tiger, which was on all fours, was almost the same size as him. Seeing the white tiger, which was both domineering and cute, Xia Taige couldn't help but reach out and stroke its head.

A thought suddenly popped into my head—I'm better than that silly husky!

After playing with the white tiger for a while, Zhao Gao entered the main hall.

"Your Highness, Yan Ri has sent a letter saying that he and the Qingyang Sect members are about to arrive in the capital. Should we take them directly to the execution ground outside the city for a trial on the spot?"

"Let's take them straight to the execution ground!" Xia Taige replied after a moment's thought.

"Have Hei Bai Xuan Jian send out heavy cavalry and elite Zhenwu Division troops to guard the scene and prevent any disturbances."

Then, Xia Taige thought for a moment and added:

"Once noon arrives, there is no need for further delay; the beheading will be carried out immediately. At the same time, the people of the city are permitted to come and watch!"

The reason for this painstaking and arduous effort was to escort so many important criminals from Qingyang Gate back to the capital from thousands of miles away.

The purpose is simply to take this opportunity to teach those underworld figures a lesson and to widely publicize and popularize the country's laws and regulations.

This clearly demonstrates the imperial court's determination to stop the killing of江湖 (jianghu) forces with killing—better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

Anyone who dares to plot to murder a court official will be thoroughly investigated, regardless of who or what is involved.

This was also to appease the emotions of the officials in the court. If they were all like Qingyangmen, who would kill off the entire family of an official at the drop of a hat, then these officials would be constantly worried and fearful. How could the various policies formulated by the court be successfully conveyed and implemented?

After receiving a clear reply, Zhao Gao bowed respectfully, then turned around and strode away to deliver the message.

Just as I was about to step out the door, I couldn't help but look at the majestic and domineering white tiger with a curious gaze.

Seeing this, Xia Taige shook his head and smiled, then turned to look at the graceful Mei Jian standing beside him, and calmly gave the order:

"Make arrangements for the people in the manor to prepare a special garden area for this white tiger. From now on, this big guy will be a member of our Prince's manor."

It's important to understand that the garden area of ​​a prestigious prince's residence must cover a vast area. The lush green trees act like giant green umbrellas, shielding the area from the scorching sun.

A crystal-clear stream flows gently by, like a silver ribbon winding across the land, a truly breathtaking sight.

Such a beautiful and pleasant environment is undoubtedly the most suitable for raising rare and ferocious beasts like white tigers.

In contrast, the husky seemed less particular. No matter where it was, as long as it had a place to shelter from the wind and rain, that was enough.

Upon hearing Xia Taige's instructions, Mei Jian quickly bowed slightly to acknowledge them.

In fact, faced with such an adorable and charming white tiger, let alone her, anyone would probably find it hard to resist its charm.

Therefore, Mei Jian already had a plan in mind for providing Baihu with a comfortable place to live, and he would do his best to ensure that Baihu would not suffer any grievances.

···

At the same time, messengers arrived one after another from the respective clan territories of the Cai and Wang families, located in different places. They all received handwritten letters from Cai Zhiquan and Wang Hui.

During the morning meeting, all the clan elders gathered together to discuss the letters sent by the two.

One of the clan elders, with his white hair and vigorous spirit, looked at the letter he had received from Cai Zhiquan, his expression solemn for a moment, then looked up at everyone present and slowly began to discuss:

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard has declined, but the court is still up to no good, just changing the name without changing the substance. They've created another Zhenwu Division."

"Cai Zhiquan wrote that there may be several Grandmaster-level experts within the Zhenwu Division, and the family's support is needed."

"A powerful figure, confirmed to be a Grandmaster, is currently purging unstable forces around the capital. Once this is completed, the court will have no more worries about its rear. Therefore, we are seeking help from the family, hoping that the family will send an elder to assassinate this person and undermine the court's prestige."

"The letter also proposed that this operation be carried out jointly by my Cai family and his Wang family."
