The hostility between Jiang Ming and Liu Changqing quickly spread, causing many people to look askance at them.
In fact, this was not the real Dragon's Gate Banquet venue. It was the periphery. There were a large number of guards watching. Jiang Ming looked at this scene and immediately glanced at Liu Changqing.
"Young Master Liu, if you still don't plan to leave, I don't mind attacking you directly. Let's see who these guards will help if we get into an altercation."
Liu Changqing, who was smiling, suddenly changed his expression. He did not expect Jiang Ming to be so overbearing.
"Don't be too presumptuous, Ning Caichen. This is not a place you can come to!"
Liu Changqing shouted, trying to intimidate Jiang Ming, but the latter just smiled calmly. His mana gradually fluctuated, attracting many soldiers to look over.
Liu Changqing's expression changed again, and he glared at Jiang Ming.
"You're very smart. Ning Caichen, if you're strong enough, then hide here and don't go out. Otherwise, don't cry and beg for mercy when I defeat you!"
Liu Changqing left angrily. He was not afraid of these guards, but they were backed by the mayor and many of the aristocratic families.
Once he made a move, he would anger these people. He could not lose this opportunity to attend the Dragon's Gate Banquet for someone like Ning Caichen.
Of course, the most important point was that he had relied on others to qualify to be invited to the Dragon's Gate Banquet this time. Once he was expelled, he would look stupid in front of his backer.
Jiang Ming did not care about Liu Changqing's threat. He had long known that the princess would try to kill him. He also knew that the princess did not attack him for Liu Changqing, but for more power.
"Master Ning, do you want me to help you solve this problem?"
Liu Sheng lowered his voice. He was just a Nascent Soul Realm prodigy. It would be easy for him to get rid of him. No one would even dare to blame him.
Jiang Ming was stunned and subconsciously looked at Liu Sheng.
"This guy actually dared to attack the young master of the Divine Eye Sect?"
"Looks like the Dragon's Gate Inn isn't just a simple inn in Dragon's Gate Town. It is stronger than it looks."
Just as Jiang Ming was deep in thought, the second act of the Dragon's Gate Banquet began. Now, everyone could enter.
Jiang Ming arrived at the Dragon's Gate's banquet venue and quickly took his seat.
In the beginning, there were still many guests coming and going, but this corner quickly became much quieter.
"Is this how you treat Mr. Ning? The Dragon's Gate Town sure is audacious!"
Zhu An'an had always been smart. Although she seemed to be making trouble, she actually wanted to see how Liu Sheng would respond. From there, she could deduce the attitude of Liu Sheng and the others, especially the person behind them, toward them.
Hearing Zhu An'an's words, Liu Sheng immediately smiled and said, "Miss An'an, please calm down. We're not neglecting the two of you. It's just that all the seats for the Dragon's Gate Banquet have been decided long ago. I had no choice. After all, the two of you were added to the list at the last minute."
Jiang Ming seemed to cooperate and nodded. "Supervisor Liu is right. We suddenly came to Dragon's Gate Town. It's our honor to be invited. Naturally, we should not ask for anything else."
"What a little fox."
Liu Sheng seemed to be smiling, but he was cursing in his heart. How could he not see through Jiang Ming's true thoughts? In fact, Zhu An'an did not care about the lack of respect at all. Her purpose was to judge their attitude toward Ning Caichen.
Jiang Ming did not care that the other party had seen through their thoughts and continued, "Oh right, according to my understanding, the Dragon's Gate Town seems to have invited quite a number of people to this banquet. Other than the Divine Eye Sect, who else have you invited from the various factions in the Feather Kingdom?"
"Naturally, we didn't invite anyone. After all, other than Reverend Mo, none of those people are good enough to be invited."
"Then why is Liu Changqing here?"
Jiang Ming frowned in confusion.
In the vast Feather Kingdom, no one was good enough to be invited except for Mo Lingche. Therefore, how could Liu Changqing be qualified?
"Ah, it's all because of the princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom. If he hadn't managed to hook up with her, and if he hadn't entered the Cultivation Alliance to cultivate and become friends with some important figure, he wouldn't have been qualified to come here."
Liu Sheng laughed. How could he not understand Jiang Ming's thoughts? He just wanted to see how he and the others treated the various forces in the Feather Kingdom.
Liu Changqing and Master Ning also had a lot of bad blood between them, which was why Jiang Ming asked so many questions. Otherwise, Liu Changqing would not have caught his attention.
"Master Ning has many thoughts and isn't a good person. If I say something wrong, he might just leave. I definitely can't let him leave just like that. After all, he's the person that the lord specifically wanted to see. Once he leaves, I won't feel good either."
Liu Sheng could not help but sigh. They were both humans, but the difference between them was too great.
Jiang Ming glanced at him and retracted his gaze. He could not be bothered to continue paying attention to him.
He was obviously not a good person.
"If I could, I would like to leave, but who is the person behind Liu Sheng? Why does he insist on seeing me? If he wants to see me, then he can meet me directly. Is there a need for me to attend this Dragon's Gate Banquet?"
Jiang Ming could not understand. At this moment, Liu Sheng suddenly said, "Master Ning, my boss wants to see you."
Jiang Ming followed without hesitation. When he saw the other party, he was stunned.
"A woman?"
Women were fine. This was not the secular world, where only men were respected.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there were many stunning women. In ancient times, there was even an empress who suppressed all Saints and became the supreme being of the Lower Realm.
However, this woman was different from ordinary women.
"A transformed demon!"
This was a demoness!
Jiang Ming swallowed. He could not tell the woman's background, so he could only nod and say, "Greetings."
"Hehe, there's no need to be so polite, Mr. Ning. It's a little presumptuous of me to invite you to the Dragon's Gate's banquet this time."
Jiang Ming immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "Ma'am, there's no need to be like this. It's my greatest honor to receive your invitation."
"Do you really think so?"
The demoness chuckled, her graceful demeanor causing one to involuntarily gulp.
What a peerless demoness. She was probably a vixen.
At this moment, the demoness suddenly spoke, "I am Bai Ruoning, from the Bai family of Qing Qiu."
A fox demon!
"And she's not just any fox demon. It is said that the Bai family of Qing Qiu has a powerful bloodline of fox demons, and there is no lack of nine-tailed foxes or even nine-tailed sky foxes! I wonder what background Bai Ruoning comes from. Is she an ordinary fox demon or a nine-tailed fox demon?"
