Chapter 902: Cooperation
Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan had already seen the ninth young master make a fool of himself and followed him. However, they were stopped by the head eunuch.
“I want to say a few words to Lord Ning Caichen.”
The two of them were about to say something when they were stopped by Jiang Ming.
“I’ll go with him alone. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
After taking a look at the old head eunuch, they nodded. The two of them stopped arguing and secretly followed Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was brought to the room next door by the head eunuch.
At this moment, the head eunuch had slumped down. His hands trembled as he took out his treasure and spread it open.
It was a painting of a woman.
The woman had a delicate appearance and looked a little similar to him.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Ming did not know what was going on. He looked at the head eunuch strangely.
The head eunuch’s eyes were filled with tears as he said, “This was my daughter before I became a eunuch. She was innocent and sweet. However, my daughter was discovered by that wicked king. He took my daughter to an unknown place. If it is possible, I would like to ask you to save my daughter. I have been looking for traces of my daughter, but I have never been able to find her. I really don’t want my daughter to die. I understand how you feel about me, but I don’t know who else can help.”
“If I see any traces of your daughter, I will tell you.”
Jiang Ming put the painting back on the table.
“Please, Lord Ning Caichen!” The head eunuch sobbed. “If you are not willing to help me, my daughter will have no hope. Lord Ning Caichen, I don’t know what this wicked king wants to do to you, but I’m always by his side. I might be able to find out what he wants to do. Why don’t we make a deal?”
The head eunuch had an idea and hurriedly relayed it to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was not against it. “Do you know what the Moonlight Banquet is?” he asked.
He thought of the banquet that Zhang Xiajing had been begging them to attend.
He felt that there must be something wrong with the banquet, but he did not know the details of the banquet.
“I hope you won’t tell anyone about this,” the head eunuch said after coughing. “Just keep it to yourself. The Moonlight Banquet seems to be a banquet for absorbing spiritual energy, but in fact, it’s a banquet for cultivating techniques and refining the items needed for those techniques… I think you should know what I mean.”
Jiang Ming thought for a moment.
“I wouldn’t dare to say that,” the head eunuch said. “In the past, those cultivation items were all young girls abducted by the king from their respective homes. Those girls will be made to follow a strict diet and code of conduct.”
Jiang Ming grinned.
Li Nanchu was simply not a good person. No wonder he was so enthusiastic toward them. He probably had the intention of turning them into cultivation items.
He felt that the head eunuch’s daughter had probably become a cultivation item. Alas, the head eunuch thought that his daughter was still alive and asked him to look for her.
Seeing that Jiang Ming did not reply for a long time, the head eunuch could not help but be anxious. “I hope you can promise me. Otherwise, I really don’t know who to ask for help.”
“I didn’t say that I wouldn’t agree.” Jiang Ming smiled. “Just keep an eye on Li Nanchu. Remember to be careful. This is a communication device. If he makes any movements, use this to tell me.”
He took out a small shell from his pocket and handed it to the head eunuch.
The head eunuch’s face was filled with gratitude. He hurriedly took the shell and squeezed it before putting it into his pocket.
“There should be nothing else. Let’s leave. Don’t let the others suspect us.” Jiang Ming planned to leave.
The head eunuch said, “To be honest, if it is possible, I would recommend you to go to the Moonlight Banquet with your comrades. Perhaps there will be unexpected benefits. After all, although it’s terrifying, there are many good resources. However, this is just a suggestion. If you are unwilling, I will not force you.”
“I understand. Thank you for your reminder.”
Jiang Ming turned around and left.
The head eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. He shrunk his painting and put it in his pocket.
He was really glad that Ning Caichen had agreed to help. He did not expect him to agree.
No matter what, his daughter finally had a chance to live.
When they entered the small room, the ninth young master was already asleep. The royal physician was explaining the ninth young master’s condition to the others.
“How’s the ninth young master?” Jiang Ming asked.
Sikong Wuyuan said smugly, “The ninth young master has already broken his bones. He probably won’t be able to use his hands well in the future. I think he’s permanently disabled.”
“It shouldn’t be like that. Logically speaking, he should be cured.”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.
The royal physician said helplessly, “Unfortunately, there’s no way to continue the treatment. Young Master can only adjust to being disabled now.” “He probably won’t be able to lift anything heavy again. Poor thing.”
He was extremely displeased with the ninth young master. If it was not for the sake of being polite, he would have beaten the ninth young master up long ago.
Jiang Ming was amused.
“Then let him rest well. He probably fell asleep due to the shock.”
Suddenly, the ninth young master woke up. He shouted at Jiang Ming, “Ning
Caichen, don’t think that you’re safe now that I’m hurt. You are nothing to me. Don’t be so arrogant. Be careful not to get killed.”
“I could say the same to you,”
Jiang Ming said indifferently.
The ninth young master shuddered and closed his eyes again, pretending to go back to sleep.
Ning Caichen sounded terrifying.
Seeing the ninth young master’s terrified look, Sikong Wuyuan said quietly,
“Weren’t you still very arrogant just now? What happened? What a joke.”
The ninth young master wanted to snap back at him, but when he thought of Jiang Ming’s appearance just now, he simply turned over and continued to sleep.
“I think we should leave. There’s nothing to see here.”
Yuan Hehe was very curious about what the head eunuch had said to Jiang Ming earlier.
The head eunuch smiled insincerely, but he was worried.
That person should be waking up soon. At that time, the Xiaguo Kingdom would also be in trouble..
