613 The Princess
Jiang Ming was about to set off for the Battle Marquis Kingdom, but he was stopped before he could set off.
“Master Ning, my supervisor would like to invite you over for a chat.”
At that moment, everyone looked over, making Jiang Ming frown.
This was great. Now that more people knew about his existence, it was unrealistic to keep a low profile.
“Looks like I’ll have to change to a new identity.”
Jiang Ming quickly followed the employee upstairs and met Supervisor Liu Sheng.
“Master Ning, hello, we meet again,” Liu Sheng said with a smile. Jiang Ming’s lips twitched.
He was the one who invited Jiang Ming!
Jiang Ming complained internally and then asked, “Supervisor Liu, you invited me here to discuss something important. May I ask what it is?”
Jiang Ming was curious about this. Liu Sheng could not have come looking for him for no reason. There had to be a reason.
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment before he laughed and said, “I have something important to discuss with you because my purpose for coming here is very simple. I want to invite you to the Dragon’s Gate Banquet.”
“Dragon’s Gate Banquet?”
Jiang Ming was a little hesitant. He had heard that the Dragon’s Gate Banquet would gather all the local nobles of Dragon’s Gate Town and even some hidden experts.
Other than them, there were also people from other places in the Dragon Marquis Kingdom and foreigners.
However, Jiang Ming never expected Liu Sheng to say this. After all, this was not a simple matter for most people.
There were many people who could attend such a banquet, but none of them were simple people. Jiang Ming did not think he was qualified to attend, but Liu Sheng took the initiative to invite him.
Seeing Jiang Ming’s confusion, Liu Sheng laughed and continued, “Actually, this isn’t an invitation from me, but from my boss.”
“Your boss? Who’s your boss?”
“You will know when the time comes. Anyway, my boss said that we must invite you to this banquet. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my head.”
Liu Sheng looked at Jiang Ming with a bitter expression and even looked at him pleadingly. Of course, all of this was just an act. It had to be said that Liu Sheng’s acting skills were top-notch.
However…
“If I don’t participate, Liu Sheng will really suffer a little, but it’s none of my business.”
Jiang Ming thought so, but he still decided to participate. He was worried that if he refused, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
After Jiang Ming left, Liu Sheng’s bitter expression returned to normal, and he sighed.
“Boss, why did you invite this guy? The people who are attending this banquet are all from outside the Feather Kingdom. There are absolutely no people from Yuan Wei under the Qing royal family. Those are all our enemies.”
Over the years, the number of foreigners who had attended the banquet was not small, but they were either cultivators from small kingdoms within the Sixteen Kingdoms or cultivators from other forces.
But now, they were inviting one of the old enemies of Yuan Wei who had challenged the Qing Kingdom for many years. They were inviting the leader of a sect in the Feather Kingdom. This was completely different from the usual rules.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan did not give any reaction. It was as if Liu Sheng was talking to himself, making him feel a little strange. He could only leave obediently and did not dare to say another word.
When Jiang Ming returned to his room, his face instantly darkened. Zhu An’an looked at him and asked in confusion, “Mister, what’s wrong? Could it be that those people want to harm you?”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Ming shook his head and said, “Whether they will harm me is another matter. What I care more about now is that the Dragon’s Gate Banquet itself is definitely not simple. What happened at the Dragon’s Gate Inn today seemed to be a coincidence. It seemed like an outsider’s unreasonable attack, but in fact, it was a targeted attack by some forces against Dragon’s Gate Town and even the entire Dragon Marquis Kingdom. I never expected that I would be involved in trouble just as I arrived at the border area. Most importantly, the person who wanted to attack me during the day definitely did not attack randomly. He might have long known my identity… He was trying to kill me!”
After Jiang Ming recounted everything that happened today, his face instantly turned ashen.
“Looks like some people do not intend to let me off. They want to do their best to eliminate me… But which faction is it?”
Aside from the Battle Marquis Kingdom, which they had yet to interact with, the most suspicious people were undoubtedly the people from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect and the Cultivation Alliance.
“As for the Divine Eye Sect, Spirit Silkworm Mountain, and the other factions, they currently have no intention of paying attention to me. After all, they are currently at war with the Feather Kingdom’s royal army and do not have much spare power to deal with me. If that’s the case, it’s very likely to be the Ancient Yin Yang Sect or the Cultivation Alliance. I wonder which one it is!”
Jiang Ming clenched his fists tightly. These people were horrible. If he could, he would kill them.
Just as Zhu An’an was about to speak, her face suddenly darkened.
“Mister, someone is watching us.”
Jiang Ming nodded. He had sensed it a little later than Zhu An’an, but he had expected to be monitored.
“It’s different from the surveillance during the day. It was targeted at everyone in Dragon’s Gate Town, both inside and outside. This time, it’s targeted at me.”
Jiang Ming took a deep breath, and a strange look gradually appeared in his eyes. Then, he slowly got up and walked to the other side.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With the sound of collisions, Jiang Ming suddenly looked in a direction.
“Someone helped us get rid of the spies in the dark.”
Jiang Ming looked up suspiciously. This time, it was none other than the mysterious boss.
Forget it. He would attend the Dragon’s Gate banquet first. He wanted to see who this boss was.
As time passed, the Dragon’s Gate’s banquet soon began.
At this moment, the mayor was resting with his eyes closed. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and revealed a suspicious expression.
“Why did Her Highness come personally? And from the looks of it, she seemed to be here to punish him?”
The mayor was a genuine Soul Formation Realm cultivator. His strength had long reached an unfathomable level, and he could sense anything unusual with his divine will alone.
Now, why did the princess come personally?
Most importantly, she was not the princess of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, but a princess from a kingdom that was second only to the Seven Great Kingdoms.
“Mayor, I want someone from you!”
The princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom descended. Her shout stunned Dragon Gate’s mayor.
“Princess, who do you want?”
The Qingmiao Kingdom, where the princess was from, was the most powerful of the dozens of small kingdoms in the Sixteen Kingdoms. She was also the leader of the kingdom. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to contend against the Daliang Kingdom.
Who had provoked this princess? Why was she here?
