Chapter 291 Nightly Discussions?
Long Ming stared at Jiang Wanxue. " Are you being serious? Like, really?"
" What? Why do you think I am lying about this matter?" Jiang Wanxue snorted lightly.
" No, It's not like that. But…Do I have to meet him? Long Ming mumbled as he looked away.
" Why? Are you afraid, Young Master Long?" Jiang Ruoyou's smile bloomed.
" Maybe you killed one of his sons? Or, maybe you slept with his daughter and daughter in law?"
" Huh? Wait, what?" Qiu Ruoyou stared at Long Ming as she got up. " Who did he kill? The one who died in Azure Sun Secret Realm?"
" Well, Accidents happen." Long Ming shrugged as he didn't give any clear answer.
" Tsk, You are quite something, Aren't you?" Qiu Ruoyou grinned. " But, You don't need to worry. His Majesty won't do anything rashly."
" Not to mention, The Four Seasons Valley has already shown its fangs. The Holy Qilin Empire wouldn't agitate the sect for nothing."
" But still, Why would he want to meet me?" Long Ming frowned. " Mingling with Imperial Family would be anything but good. Not to mention, I will instantly attract the attention of quite a lot of people."
" You already did." Jiang Wnauxe shrugged. " A little more won't hurt, right?"
" Hmph, I can see that glee on your face, Jiang Wanxue. Don't dare to hide it."
" I am not hiding it. I am openly gloating at your situation."
Long Ming sighed as he stretched his arms. " Well, I guess I can't refuse the Emperor's invitation, can I?"
" Then I would rather meet him as fast as possible. Because, The Heavenly Fountain Palace is going to open soon."
" Ah, You are also going there? Reasonable." Jiang Wanxue pondered. " However, unlike the Azure Sun Secret Realm, the Heavenly Fountain Palace would attract the people from across the provinces."
" You are going to meet various geniuses of a third of Rain Dragon Continent there."
" Ooh, Sounds pretty exciting." Long Ming grinned when he heard that. " I guess I will broaden my horizon there."
" It won't be as easy as you think." Jiang Wanxue chuckled. " Don't think only Four Seasons Valley possesses Imperial Treasures."
" The Heavenly Fountain Palace going to be pretty bloody." Qiu Ruoyou muttered. " Last time it opened, I heard more than twenty Dao Refining Realm elders fell there."
" Wow, That's pretty dangerous." Long Ming's eyes squinted. " But then, I heard there are cultivation restrictions there. So, High level cultivators can't act as they please."
" There are many ways to cheat the restrictions. I am sure you have already seen in the Azure Sun Secret Realm." Jiang Wanxue spoke.
" What about you? Aren't you going?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.
" Not only me, but all the princes are also going to participate. Not just them, even two of our hidden elders are coming out." Long Ming rubbed his chin as he thought about it. The two elders would probably be at the High stage of the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm.
' I don't think the empire would send out a Dao Refining Realm cultivator. Because the internal turmoil is enough here.' ' But then, Giving a True Imperial Weapon to each prince wouldn't be a far fetch idea.'
' Tch, rich bastards. And here I am, I have to use all resources carefully because the energy inside the Imperial Treasure gets reduced after each use.'
However, remembering the fight between the Sky Martial Tower and Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming couldn't help but sigh.
The clash of power, the fight between the Empress Winter Song and Skyward Spear Emperor was simply magnificent.
' One day, I will also have such strength. Overturning heaven and earth with a flip of my hands.' Long Ming sighed as he fell into deep thought.
" So, What do you say?"
Long Ming's lips curled as he looked at Qiu Ruoyou. " Sister Qiu, Are you coming with us?"
" Why should I? So I can get assassinated again?" Qiu Ruoyou rolled her eyes.
" Besides, After Sky Martial Tower's fall, we need to do a lot of things here. There are so many mines and resource nodes which needed to be captured."
" I know, Sister Qiu. But, The Yellow Bronze mine along with the spirit vein in the northeast mountain, I need them for our Four Seasons Sect." Long Ming looked at her.
" I mean, Our Sect also needs some compensation from Sky Martial Tower, yes? For everything they have done to us…"
" Greedy fellow." Qiu Ruoyoy quipped. " Fine, I shall talk to father about this."
" That would be very helpful, Sister Qiu." Long Ming laughed.
" So, What about you, Sister Jiang? Are you returning?"
" Yes, I believe so. I have to report back so His Majesty would send the Grand Generals to take over the situation here."
" Tsk Tsk, Same old empire, always trying to monopolize the resources." Qiu Ruoyou snorted lightly. " I guess I have to hasten up my disciples after all."
" Well, Since Sister Jiang is returning, How about I come with you?" Long Ming grinned. " In that way, I will also visit His Majesty?"
" Huh?"
Jiang Wanxue could feel Long Ming was onto something. But as usual, she couldn't see through his feelings behind that handsome bastard face.
" Well, If you say so…"
" Then it's settled." Long Ming clapped his palms. " Don't try to change it, yeah?"
' Why do I feel I walked right into his trap?' Jiang Wanxue muttered inwardly.
" Alright, Since you are leaving, Allow me to escort you out." Qiu Ruoyou got up and beckoned them.
" And Dear, You must come back soon, ok?" Qiu Ruoyou let out a light whimper. " How else am I going to live without you?"
" Lady Qiu, If I come often, won't I get drained to death?" Long Ming teased her.
" Oh please, I know my dear has a rather…virile body." Qiu Ruoyou grinned. " I have to grind very passionately to squeeze out that nectar, you see?"
" Both of you…How vulgar." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she turned away. However, her face still turned a shade of pink.
As the three went to the main gate of the sect, a group of people came from the opposite direction.
" Huh? It-It's you!"
A young man with battered clothing pointed at Long Ming and shouted. " Elder! It's him! He ambushed me in the middle of the road!"
" What? Really?"
Qiu Ruoyou creased her brows as she looked at Long Ming.
" Dear?"
" He tried to crush me with his mount." Long Ming shrugged. " Just gave him some slaps."
" Ok, I shall handle it." Qiu Ruoyou threw a smile at Long Ming as she walked to that person.
" Dan it! Bastard! You dare to show your face here?"
" So what if he had beaten you? Do you even know who he is?" Qiu Ruoyou snorted.
" La-Lady Qiu, I…"
The elder who was acting high and mighty suddenly took a step back and bowed. After all, Who was Qiu Ruoyou? The daughter of the Sect Master!
" Hmph, Your disciple offended him and now he is making a fuss?" Qiu Ruoyou snorted. " Take him to the cave of silence for a month."
" N-No! I didn't do anything!"
But the young man shut up when he saw the glare of Qiu Ruoyou. Looking behind her, He saw Long Ming giving him a middle finger.
" Connections, Bitch."
" Bas-Bastard!! PUUFF!"
Coughing a mouthful of blood from anger, that young man fell to the ground.
" I... I shall teach him manners, Lady Qiu. Please forgive him." The elder hurriedly bowed and dragged that disciple away.
" Can you not act so childish?" Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming.
" Why should I not?" Long Ming grinned. " One should always keep their inner child alive."
Jiang Wanxue scowled, but her lips still curled.
Soon, A flying treasure boat descended, bearing the flag of the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Dynasty. Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming bored on the flying boat, bidding goodbye to Qiu Ruoyou.
Later in night…
" What are you doing here?"
Jiang Wanxue's voice trembled as she saw Long Ming on her bed.
Why do you think I asked for a lift?" Long Ming gave a devious grin. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
" So, How about Princess of the Holy Qilin Empire teach me some imperial etiquette before I meet the Emperor?"
" We have the entire night after all~"
