799 Lake Banquet
Seeing Liang Sisi’s unusual actions, Sikong Wuyuan felt that she was still upset and comforted her.
“Accidents happen. Your sister might have hoped for things to turn out this way.”
Jiang Ming also said, “I think what Sikong Wuyuan said makes sense. There’s a basis for this. You have to live your life well.”
Liang Sisi did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said to Sikong Wuyuan and Jiang Ming seriously, “I’m really fine. Don’t worry, I just suddenly wanted to clean up today.”
Seeing that Liang Sisi was not lying, Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan did not say anything else. After a while, they said, “Then, what do you have to tell us?”
Liang Sisi was touched by the fact that she had Sikong Wuyuan and Jiang Ming as her friends. Just as she was about to say something, King Fengyu suddenly walked over.
“Lord Ning Caichen, are you doing well here?”
As he spoke, King Fengyu had a thought in his mind.
He seemed to be here to greet Jiang Ming, but in fact, he wanted to ask about what happened last night.
Last night, in order to prevent outsiders from getting involved, Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan had set up a large enchantment to completely surround the place where the array was.
Therefore, King Fengyu’s people did not come to this place.
The servant reported to King Fengyu that he knew where that place was, but he could not find it.
This made King Fengyu curious.
What kind of spell could make a place disappear?
Seeing that King Fengyu had suddenly arrived, Jiang Ming felt that King Fengyu had come with ill intentions. He only replied politely, “Everything is fine. We will be leaving soon. Thank you for your hospitality, King Fengyu.”
“Don’t go! Why are you leaving so soon? How long have you been here? You should have stayed a little longer.”
King Fengyu was unwilling to give up and wanted to keep Jiang Ming for a while longer.
He felt that as long as Jiang Ming stayed here, he would have a chance to obtain the secret of immortality.
“No, we still have other matters to attend to. Thank you, King Fengyu, for asking us to stay.”
Jiang Ming felt that it was not a good thing to stay any longer, so he rejected him.
Seeing that Jiang Ming had rejected him directly, King Fengyu was unhappy. However, he knew how powerful Jiang Ming was and did not dare to act recklessly. He only ridiculed Jiang Ming in his heart.
What an arrogant kid!
He would definitely teach Ning Caichen a lesson!
Ning Caichen was so clueless.
“Did you suffer any grievances here? Or was there something wrong? Just let me know.”
He asked happily. He was trying his best to keep Jiang Ming in the kingdom.
Jiang Ming could tell what King Fengyu was thinking and found it strange.
Logically speaking, the king of the Fengyu Kingdom should have wanted him to leave earlier. Why would he still want him to stay now?
Could it be that King Fengyu had seen or heard something?
Sikong Wuyuan had the same thoughts as Jiang Ming. He looked thoughtfully at King Fengyu and said, “Is there anything you need our help with? Why do you want us to stay here so badly?”
King Fengyu was all smiles, not looking like he had any requests for Jiang Ming or Sikong Wuyuan at all.
“I’m fine. I just hope that you two can stay here in peace.”
“I didn’t know that you were so hospitable.” Jiang Ming smiled faintly and secretly hinted to King Fengyu by saying, “I hope that you’re just very happy to see us and that there’s nothing wrong. If there’s really something, please say it.”
Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, King Fengyu immediately became nervous, and his heart thumped.
Could it be that Ning Caichen knew what he was thinking?
From the looks of it, he would have to resort to forceful methods in the future.
“Of course.”
King Fengyu smiled insincerely. Then, he said enthusiastically, “The lake banquet will be held soon. Lord Ning Caichen, Lord Sikong Wuyuan, you two should come along with your friend.”
“Do you want to go?”
Jiang Ming was not interested in the lake banquet. Still, he remembered that Liang Sisi was a girl, so she would probably like the lake banquet.
He looked at Liang Sisi.
Liang Sisi was tired of banquets. She had already been to many banquets. Then, she said calmly, “I’m fine with anything. I’ve long lost interest in the annual lake banquet.”
Sikong Wuyuan liked the lake banquet very much, so he immediately said enthusiastically, “I’ll go, Ning Caichen. If you don’t want to go, you can stay here. I’ll take your place to see the scenery around the lake.”
Jiang Ming felt that it was not bad, so he nodded and said, “Then let’s do it this way.”
King Fengyu had wanted Jiang Ming to go, so he was disappointed to see that Sikong Wuyuan was the only one going. However, he did not want to say anything directly, so he continued to smile. He said, “Lord Sikong Wuyuan, please come with me. However, is Lord Ning Caichen really unwilling to come with me? Recently, there have been many new fish caught at the lake banquet. They look strange and have a halo around them. I think you might like them.”
Jiang Ming could not help but be curious and replied, “Then, I’ll go.”
He was really curious. Why did King Fengyu insist on him coming to the lake banquet?
Was there anything interesting in this banquet?
Seeing that Jiang Ming had agreed to go, King Fengyu was so happy that he forgot himself.
“Lord Ning Caichen, please trust me. You will not be disappointed.”
Seeing that Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan were going, Liang Sisi decided to go as well. She nodded at King Fengyu and said, “Then I’ll go too.”
She felt that King Fengyu had ulterior motives and did not have any good intentions toward Ning Caichen.
She had to stay by Ning Caichen’s side.
Ning Caichen had helped her a lot, so she could not be ungrateful.
Liang Sisi’s heart became determined again.
By the time they reached the lake, the concubines of King Fengyu had already arrived.
All of them were gorgeously dressed. Their eyes were filled with affection.
They all greeted Jiang Ming.
“Lord Ning Caichen!”
Everyone was shouting shyly. Those who did not know better would think that Jiang Ming was King Fengyu.
However, King Fengyu did not show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he said with a smile, “What do you think of my concubines?”
“They’re pretty nice.”
Jiang Ming was not interested in these concubines at all, so he turned to look elsewhere.
