854 The Show
“Are you staying?”
Jiang Ming looked up at Ling Yunxiao.
At this moment, Sikong Wuyuan woke up. His vision was still a little blurry, but he immediately regained consciousness.
He looked at Jiang Ming and the others in a daze and touched his nose.
He had also heard what Jiang Ming said just now. Bai Heyu stepped forward and smiled at Sikong Wuyuan. “Sikong Wuyuan, what do you think?”
Sikong Wuyuan was a little confused by Bai Heyu’s att.i.tude toward him, but he glanced at Jiang Ming and felt that this matter should be related to Jiang Ming. Then, he said, “It’s alright.”
“Sir Sikong Wuyuan, it’s good that you’re alright.” Xia Qiyan smiled.
Xia Qiyan’s eyes flashed slyly as she spoke.
Then, she remembered what Jiang Ming said and roughly understood.
Now, Bai Heyu treated them very well and invited them to live here.
Why did he only ask Ling Yunxiao?
Xia Chenjing’s words were stuck in his throat, but he did not say them out loud. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Sikong Wuyuan had the same thought as Xia Chenjing, and he also looked at Ling Yunxiao.
He felt that Jiang Ming seemed to be waiting for Ling Yunxiao to secretly plan something.
Ling Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and he also paused when he was playing with the water. He guessed that Jiang Ming had already discovered what he had done, so he quickly said, “Then I’ll stay.”
He did not want to miss his results.
“Alright,” Jiang Ming said without hesitation.
Shouldn’t he ask for their opinions on this matter?
Xia Chenjing and Sikong Wuyuan were dumbfounded. Then, they looked at Jiang Ming with some resentment.
Jiang Ming saw through their thoughts and said to them in his heart, “A good show is about to begin.”
Liang Sisi stood there in a daze.
She was thinking about something else.
She felt that Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan’s motives were definitely not simple, but she did not know the reason, so she had many guesses.
When she saw that Jiang Ming had agreed to stay, she agreed in her heart.
At that time, she would know what Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan wanted to do.
In other words, Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan had always had a bad att.i.tude toward Jiang Ming.
Even if they were to leave, Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan would secretly set up traps along the way.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to stay here from the start so that they could clearly identify Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan’s thoughts.
Seeing that Jiang Ming and the others had agreed, Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan immediately beamed with joy. One of them responded to the other and flattered him.
“It’s really our good fortune for you to come here. If it’s possible, you should stay here for a while. We’ll definitely be very happy.”
Jiang Ming responded faintly, but he smiled in his heart.
Weren’t these two tired of pretending? He felt tired.
Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan saw that the three of them did not seem to suspect that they had ulterior motives, so they immediately chuckled in their hearts.
What idiots.
When the ritual was over, these people would be their meals.
Bai Heyu said to Jiang Ming and the others, “I still have something to do. Lord Ning Caichen, if you need anything, please ask the servants. We will leave first.”
He left with Xia Qiyan before Jiang Ming could reply.
Xia Qiyan believed Bai Heyu in her heart.
She had already seen the scene in the sea after the ritual. She could not help but be happy, and she went back to eat a few more bowls of rice.
Seeing them leave, Sikong Wuyuan whispered to Jiang Ming, “Although I already understand the general situation, I still want to know the specifics. You guys don’t know, but Bai Heyu is not an ordinary person. I saw the bones of the people he ate. That number is simply enormous, and it looks terrifying.”
What he and Xia Chenjing were most curious about was what Jiang Ming said earlier.
What kind of good show was it that made Jiang Ming so willing to stay and watch?
When Liang Sisi heard Sikong Wuyuan’s words, she could not help but look at him and think.
Right now, she needed to focus on listening to Sikong Wuyuan.
Jiang Ming pondered and looked at Sikong Wuyuan, asking in detail, “Did you notice any other things?”
Sikong Wuyuan thought about it and his eyes lit up, “I’ve heard of the legend in this sea region. As long as the person appointed by the emperor performs a ritual in this sea region, the master of the sea region will have an endless supply of spiritual energy and become the overlord of each sea region. However, it seems that they haven’t found someone close to them yet. That’s what the rumors say. Who knows the details?”
“The one appointed?” Liang Sisi could not help but laugh. “These rumors are mostly just for fun. How can there really be an endless stream of spiritual energy? If that’s the case, wouldn’t the masters of the sea in that era be looking for someone close to them?”
“Is there a possibility that someone close to us is among us?”
At this moment, Xia Chenjing, who had been silent, suddenly realized something and looked at Jiang Ming quietly.
Although he said that the person was among them, he felt that the appointed person was Jiang Ming. Xia Chenjing’s words immediately made people understand.
Liang Sisi added, “Maybe that’s the case. I think we should test it.”
Her idea immediately gained the approval of the others.
The others also responded, “Yeah, let’s test it out.”
Sikong Wuyuan did not wait for Jiang Ming’s reply and said, “Ning Caichen, I think you agree, right? I heard that there’s a library here, and the bloodline of the appointed person can make the luminous pearls in the library emit a yellow color.”
Jiang Ming knew what Sikong Wuyuan and the others were thinking, so he agreed.
“Then let’s go to the library.”
He was also quite curious about whether he was the one chosen by the emperor. Perhaps this was the reason why Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan had asked him and his friends to stay.
On the other side, Bai Heyu had already walked to the library.
There was a mechanism above the library. Bai Heyu opened it and a secret chamber appeared in front of him.
There were all kinds of furniture pieces made of ice in the secret room. Bai Heyu walked in. He sat down on the ice block.
He had not cultivated properly these days. Today, he was going to concentrate on cultivating here.
Seeing that Jiang Ming had agreed, Sikong Wuyuan could not help but get excited. Then, he wanted to get up and take a look.
“I really want to see what that library looks like.”
Unexpectedly, he was pressed down by Jiang Ming.
“Your injuries haven’t healed yet. Stay here and recuperate. I’ll go with Xia Chenjing and the others.”
“Alright then.”
Sikong Wu also realized that his injuries might hold them back, so he agreed.
“Then I’ll stay and take care of Sikong Wuyuan!” Liang Sisi volunteered.
