The spirit pet dog kowtowed as a greeting and said solemnly, "Thank you for this name."
Zhu An'an could not help but snicker at its serious expression.
Tiandao was very cute. She could not wait to play with it.
"Now, let's begin the banquet. There was a small incident just now, but rest assured, the banquet will continue."
Seeing that the Tiandao had recognized Jiang Ming as its master, Master Long was deeply gratified.
Long Qingqing also said, "Yeah, the food might have gotten cold. Prince Liang really was so inconsiderate earlier!"
His tone was filled with disgust.
Jiang Ming and the others followed Master Long to the banquet. Jiang Ming originally wanted to sit down, but he was stopped by Master Long.
"Lord Ning Caichen, please sit at the head of the table."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter where I sit."
Jiang Ming gently rejected his offer.
The others agreed with Master Long. "Lord Ning Caichen, please sit at the head of the table."
Seeing that everyone was saying this, Jiang Ming had no choice but to sit at the head of the table.
The others sat down in turn.
"Let the banquet begin."
Master Long clapped his hands and looked at the crowd around him.
There was singing and dancing, and the servants brought in good wine and delicacies.
Jiang Ming sat at the head of the table and looked at the crowd below. He felt a little uncomfortable and forced himself to drink and eat.
"What a good banquet."
At this moment, a burly man laughed out loud and scared the table beside him.
"Bai Ruqing, who let you in?"
Master Long stood up. He was angry. He rushed toward Bai Ruqing and was about to hit him.
In retaliation, Bai Ruqing aimed his hand at Master Long's forehead.
Master Long did not expect Bai Ruqing to use such a dirty trick. His heart tightened, but it was too late.
He felt as if all the spiritual energy in his body was being sucked dry. It was like he was about to become a corpse.
At this moment, a person rushed over and separated him from Bai Ruqing. His spiritual energy was returned to him.
Master Long's head was buzzing, and he felt dizzy. He could barely stand.
"Father!"
Long Qingqing panicked and walked toward Master Long.
Master Long felt as if someone had caught him. He closed his eyes and passed out.
Seeing her father pass out twice in a single day, Long Qingqing was furious. She carefully placed Master Long on a chair.
A purple light shot out from her forehead and shone directly on Bai Ruqing.
Bai Ruqing felt as if his entire body had exploded. He was in extreme pain. He wanted to peel off the skin on his body!
Jiang Ming, who had already pulled Master Long away, was stunned for a moment. He walked directly to Zhu Asi and the others.
Looking at the light, Zhu Asi could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Long's spell is really special. I want to learn it too."
The princess let out a loud cry, her face filled with fear.
This voice attracted the attention of the others. They all turned their heads to look and were instantly shocked.
Bai Ruqing's skin had been completely peeled off, but his body was still stained with blood, and there were even obvious lumps of flesh falling out.
He closed his eyes and died.
Long Qingqing sneered and ordered the servants to dispose of Bai Ruqing's body. She muttered to herself, "If you want to kill my father, you should know where you stand!"
This was the first time Long Qingqing showed such ruthlessness. Except for Jiang Ming, the others could not believe it.
After the servant took Bai Ruqing's body away, Long Qingqing realized that she was not in a good state. She looked at Jiang Ming and the others apologetically. "I'm really sorry. Sometimes I can't control myself."
Zhu Asi scrunched up his nose and said, "It's alright, Ms. Long. But what was that move just now?"
Long Qingqing was stunned for a moment. "I don't know. I was infuriated, so I started using random spells. I heard from my father that the Long family has a special inherited magic technique. I have never used this ability before. Now that I've accidentally discovered it, this is a great thing.'
"This is simply a blessing in disguise."
Master Long walked over and heard what Long Qingqing said. He could not help but be surprised.
Jiang Ming looked at the dead Bai Ruqing and could not help but be curious. "Who is Bai Ruqing?"
Master Long sighed and said helplessly, "Bai Ruqing was my adopted son. He was well-raised at first, but for some reason, he grew up crooked and committed all kinds of crimes. I chased him out, but I didn't expect Bai Ruqing to disturb Qingqing time and time again. He hadn't come to see Qingqing for a while. I didn't expect him to come and cause trouble again today."
He shook his head. "I really raised an unfilial son. Fortunately, he's been taken care of."
At this moment, Bai Ruqing's corpse was emitting an inexplicable light. It had been mutilated earlier, but its flesh and blood suddenly solidified, and Bai Ruqing's body recovered.
However, his body became as hard as iron. Even his hair stood on end and looked extremely hard.
Bai Ruqing laughed loudly. "Old man, I've finally been reborn."
"What kind of demonic evil technique did you cultivate?"
Master Long was the first to see Bai Ruqing's condition. He quickly pulled Long Qingqing and Jiang Ming back and stood in front of the two of them. He looked at Bai Ruqing warily.
Bai Ruqing's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. "Old man, why are you so stupid? I'm clearly here to be filial to you."
"Is this filial piety? You even broke the table in my mansion."
Master Long was so angry that he laughed incredulously. He took a step forward and wanted to beat Bai Ruqing to death.
Previously, he did not kill Bai Ruqing, which resulted in a disaster.
"Old man, do you think you can still beat me now? You've become weak. I'm the only one who's worthy of being the head of the Long family!"
Long Qingqing cursed and scolded Bai Ruqing. "Shut up! Don't even think about it!"
Bai Ruqing grabbed Master Long by the neck and restrained his mana.
Seeing that he could not use his mana at all and that his body was still tightly controlled, Master Long could not help but be a little surprised.
He was furious and questioned Bai Ruqing, "What did you do to me? Why can't I use any spells?"
Bai Ruqing became arrogant. "Do you still remember that the secret book of the Long family was taken away? I was the one who took that secret book. It had all kinds of custom-made methods to subdue the Long family."
