917 Someone Is Here
Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened, as if he had expected Li Nanchu’s men to come.
Yuan Hehe felt that it was impossible.
He thought back to when the maggots were near the capital. If there were really people around, Li Nanchu would not be the only one.
Yuan Hehe told Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan what he was thinking.
Sikong Wuyuan also felt that Yuan Hehe’s words made sense, and he let Jiang Ming relax.
“You can’t just look at the surface of some things. Besides, it was very dangerous at that time.” He shook his head.
“Li Nanchu’s men might be outside and won’t be able to make it back in time. That’s why they didn’t come over. Don’t push your luck.”
Jiang Ming thought for a moment.
Before anyone could reply to him, the door opened with a loud thud. It was obvious that they were here to mess with him.
“Open the door!”
The people outside immediately became impatient and shouted at Jiang Ming and the others.
Jiang Ming originally wanted to open the door, but when he saw this, he decided not to. He conjured spiritual energy from his hand to strengthen the room’s walls and door.
“Don’t touch the door,” he shouted outside.
These three words successfully angered the people outside. They started shouting.
Jiang Ming listened to the noise and specially added a layer of soundproofing to the room in advance. Sikong Wuyuan and the others could not hear what the people outside were saying at all.
However, they felt that the people outside must be furious.
“I’ll open it later. I have to see who this divine being is.”
Jiang Ming began to drink tea slowly and even called Sikong Wuyuan and the others over to drink.
“He’s going to explode from anger; no one is bothered about him.”
Yuan Hehe was overjoyed and quickly sat down to have a drink.
Sikong Wuyuan sat down to drink tea.
After confirming that there was no sound, one of them raised their foot and was about to kick the door open.
Unexpectedly, before he could kick it open, the door opened by itself.
The man instantly fell to the ground due to inertia, but he managed to stabilize himself.
However, he forgot that there was someone in front of him. He tripped over the other party.
As for this person, it was Yuan Hehe.
“What is wrong with you?” Yuan Hehe laughed.
It was Li Nanchu’s younger brother, Li Nanping.
He had been going all over the world to conquer land, but he had only returned because of his brother.
Seeing that his brother had suffered an injustice, he quickly came over to seek justice for his brother.
Now that Yuan Hehe was mocking him, Li Nanping’s temper flared up immediately.
He looked at Yuan Hehe angrily. “Why are you so rude?” he asked. “I am the regent of the Xiaguo Kingdom.”
“I don’t care if you’re the regent. It has nothing to do with me.”
Yuan Hehe could tell that Li Nanping was not someone to be trifled with. He was here to pick a fight, so he immediately retorted, leaving Li Nanping speechless.
“A gentleman doesn’t fight with children,” he said. “Now, I want to know who Lord Ning Caichen is.”
No matter what, he had to make Ning Caichen spit out the spiritual energy of the hot spring today.
“That’s me,” Jiang Ming admitted without hesitation.
Li Nanping fixed his gaze on Jiang Ming. There was a fire in his eyes, and it was obvious that he wanted to vent.
Jiang Ming did not say anything and just waited for him to speak.
“That hot spring is a treasure of the royal family. Logically speaking, His Majesty letting you soak in it is your gift. So, how can you absorb all the spiritual energy of the hot spring? This is really going too far. You’re simply treating people like pushovers.”
Jiang Ming smiled when he heard the last sentence.
“I’m afraid you only know half of the story and don’t know the whole story.”
Sikong Wuyuan immediately followed up. “Your brother attacked us. Can’t we retaliate?”
“That’s a misunderstanding. It’s just a small matter. Why can’t you understand him?”
“Why can’t you understand us? You can leave now.”
Jiang Ming felt that he could not reason with this kind of person and started to chase him away.
“I’ll make you spit out the spiritual energy of the hot spring today,” Li Nanping said with a cold smile.
In an instant, he took out a spring from his mouth and enlarged it.
The spring was about to push the house open, but Jiang Ming still did not move.
In his opinion, it was impossible for the spring to break the house.
As expected, when the spring continued to rise, it could not compare to the spiritual energy on the roof.
Li Nanping was stunned.
He originally wanted to give Jiang Ming a show of strength, but now, he did not manage to do so, and he had been embarrassed.
He coughed and then used all his spiritual energy, but the spring still did not touch the roof.
He couldn’t help but get anxious. Then, he glared at Jiang Ming and said, “Are you doing something funny? I was wondering why a spring would appear out of nowhere. So, it’s your doing!”
Jiang Ming was speechless.
What a liar!
What did this spring have to do with him? Li Nanping had been the one to take this spring out!
Li Nanping was embarrassed again. He immediately looked around and spread out a piece of spell paper. He picked up a brush and wrote a few words on it.
He threw the paper in front of Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming glanced at it and found that it was a letter of challenge.
“You want to declare war on me?”
Li Nanping smiled.
“Yes. You have to agree.”
“Then what is the point of writing this letter of challenge?”
Jiang Ming felt that Li Nanping was very rude and unreasonable, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
“I still have to be polite. After all, this is the first time I’ve met someone like you.”
There was sarcasm in his words. Jiang Ming felt that he could not let Li Nanping continue to be arrogant, so he secretly flicked a silver needle over.
The silver needle instantly reached the bottom of Li Nanping’s feet, but Li Nanping did not notice it at all. He thought that Jiang Ming was a punching bag, so he laughed and walked out of the door.
As he walked, he urged Jiang Ming to leave as well, indicating for them to fight outside the door.
He could not see through the secret in this room, so it was best to go out and fight in open air.
Unexpectedly, he tripped the moment he lifted his foot.
Not only that, but he could not stand up again. “What’s going on?”
Li Nanping was upset. Now that he had used all his spiritual energy, he still could not stand up.
