Having already witnessed Jiang Ming's power, the subordinates of the minor official did not dare to do anything else. They trembled as they held their master's head.
They did not want to die.
Even though she knew how powerful Jiang Ming was, the princess was still shocked. Her pupils constricted as she stared blankly at the subordinates who were trembling.
She had seen the strength of the subordinates of that minor official clearly. They were comparable to most of the experts in the Qingmiao Kingdom.
How was the array formation they cast broken so easily?
Moreover, this was only the power of the people around Ning Caichen! If it were Ning Caichen himself, wouldn't those people be reduced to ashes?
If he became her husband, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted in the world of immortal cultivation?
Wouldn't she also be able to take control of the Feather Kingdom?
In that instant, the princess could not help but have other thoughts.
"Wait."
Just as the subordinates of the minor official were about to leave, Jiang Ming called out again.
"Sir…Is there anything else?"
They did not expect that he would want something else from them. The subordinates of the minor official stiffened, and their legs trembled. They could not even hold the head of the minor official.
Among these people, Jiang Ming picked his favorite.
He pointed at a thin man in black and said, "You! Stay and be the coachman."
"Yes."
The thin man in black wanted to cry, but he could not.
However, he had no choice but to watch his companions leave while he was forced to be the coachman.
The minor official came in a carriage, and the problem of missing a horse was solved.
The carriage continued to move forward. Under Zhu Asi's urging, the new coachman also sped up.
They had already wasted some time. They had to arrive at the Long family before Murong Kuan did.
Seeing that the princess was still holding onto his arm tightly, Jiang Ming stared at her hand and suddenly asked, "How long do you plan to hold on to me?"
After Jiang Ming's reminder, the princess realized that she had been squeezing Jiang Ming's arm. She could not help but blush, and even her ears turned red.
She was somewhat embarrassed. She cleared her throat and let go of Jiang Ming's arm. She moved to sit further away from him.
"Lord Ning Caichen, I've done a good job."
Jiang Ming was amused and did not reply.
Although the princess was spoiled and rude, she was quite cute at times.
He hoped that she would always be this obedient.
With Zhu Asi's urging, they soon arrived at the Long family. They got off the carriage.
The Long family's courtyard and signboard could only be seen by cultivators. It was very secretive.
From the outside, their door and courtyard looked very ordinary.
Two large lions were roaring at the door, and a set of poems were carved on both sides of the door.
Jiang Ming and the others understood that these things were not ordinary.
The two lions were real lions. Moreover, who knew how many traps were hidden in the poems?
A carriage followed closely behind. It was resplendent and had the word "Daliang" carved on it. It was obviously a carriage that belonged to the royal family of Daliang.
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes.
He knew that the person inside had to be Murong Kuan.
Murong Kuan was quite fast.
It was a coincidence that they had both arrived at the same time.
Apart from Jiang Ming, Zhu Asi and Zhu An'an also became nervous.
They knew that Murong Kuan was not someone to be trifled with. He was not above attacking them from behind.
They had to be careful.
The princess was curious.
Why did the royal family of Daliang come? Could something big have happened?
She vaguely understood.
She was afraid that the reason why she was brought over was related to this matter.
As the princess of Qingmiao, she could be used as leverage to persuade someone.
However, it did not matter. With such a connection, Ning Caichen might develop feelings for her. Then, he would become the most loyal slave of the Qingmiao Kingdom.
She smiled longingly.
When the carriage stopped, Murong Kuan got out. He saw another carriage in front of him and immediately became alert.
It seemed that someone had arrived before him.
He walked to the door and saw Jiang Ming. He was stunned.
Ning Caichen had come here despite the obstruction of the king of the Daliang Kingdom's men.
It also seemed that he had come at the same time he did.
"Why did you come to the Long family's mansion, Lord Ning Caichen? I've seen you once from afar, but now that I'm looking at him up close, you're really extraordinary."
Murong Kuan pretended to have a smile on his face. He looked at the four people brought by Jiang Ming from the corners of his eye and felt annoyed.
Why did Ning Caichen have so many capable people around him? If he did not have enough chips to bargain with Master Long later, the negotiation would fail.
"You flatter me." Jiang Ming decided to play dumb. "I have a question. Looking at your carriage, you should be from the royal family of Daliang, right?"
"Your guess is right, Lord Ning. My name is Liang Kuan, and I am the brother of the king of the Daliang Kingdom," Murong Kuan said casually. Then, he pretended to be nonchalant. "Are you here to discuss cooperation with the Long family?"
"In that case, the reason why the king's men came to stop me just now was because he didn't want me to cooperate with the Long family."
Jiang Ming forced Murong Kuan to continue.
Murong Kuan really did not know how to continue, so he changed the topic. "Time is of the essence. Lord Ning, let's go in first."
Jiang Ming glanced at Murong Kuan and walked in without replying to him.
Murong Kuan frowned, but he did not say anything. He followed them in.
Seeing that two powerful men had arrived, the servants hurriedly ran inside to make a report.
Master Long was still drinking tea leisurely. He almost spat out his tea when he heard that Jiang Ming and Murong Kuan had come.
Why did Ning Caichen and a royal family member of the Daliang Kingdom come?
There was no time to think. Master Long ordered the servants to clean up the table and brew more tea. Then, he went to receive the guests with a serious expression.
When he saw Jiang Ming and Murong Kuan, Master Long put on a fake smile. "Lord Ning, Lord Liang! Welcome to my mansion."
As he smiled, Master Long glanced at the people Jiang Ming and Murong Kuan had brought.
When he caught a glimpse of Zhu Asi, Zhu An'an, and the princess, the smile on his face was still pleasant.
Seeing the monk and Madman Junior again, Master Long could not hold his emotions back anymore.
Having a young woman, who looked ordinary but was actually very powerful, was fine. Having a princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom, who was doted on by everyone, was also fine.
In fact, it was still fine to have the top prodigy of the Zhuyan Palace's outer sect as well!
However, how did the people from Black Prison and the Heaven Ruo Temple become Ning Caichen's employees?
How terrifying was Ning Caichen to be able to make these people willingly stay by his side?
