672 Insist on Going
Seeing that everyone was against this, Jiang Ming shook his head helplessly and said, “Believe me. I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me. But I must go to Master Murong’s mansion. We can’t be cowards. Master Murong will inevitably find a way to make a move against me.”
Seeing that Jiang Ming did not listen to his advice at all, Zhu Asi suddenly became anxious.
Ning Caichen did not even think about them. If something happened to them, what would he do?
How could he continue to be so reckless?
He could beat their previous enemies, but Master Murong was a tough one. How could he be defeated so easily?
Zhu An’an also started to worry. She did not know how to persuade Jiang Ming against this.
She did not expect him to be so stubborn. They had already a.n.a.lyzed the pros and cons for him, but he still wanted to be stubborn. It was really difficult.
The princess looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief.
What gave Ning Caichen such courage? Even the Qingmiao Kingdom did not dare to declare war on Master Murong!
She really could not see through Ning Caichen’s thoughts.
Even with the support of the Qingmiao Kingdom, she would not dare to be so arrogant. Even if Ning Caichen had a lot of help, he should not be this reckless.
“You don’t have to persuade me against this anymore. You know that I’m very stubborn. Even if you argue, it’s useless.”
Jiang Ming saw that everyone was eager to make a move and said a few more words.
Master Long simply called out to everyone, “Let’s continue with the banquet. We can talk about the rest later.”
Everyone could only nod.
Seeing that there was no other way, Long Qingqing started to discuss with Zhu Anan in a low voice. “Why don’t we put some knockout powder in Ning Caichen’s cup? After he sleeps for a while, he won’t be willing to go to Master Murong’s mansion in Northern Yan after that.”
Zhu An’an thought for a moment and felt that what Long Qingqing said made sense. She became worried again. “Will the knockout powder have any side effects?” If anything happens to him after ingesting it, I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
“Don’t worry,” Long Qingqing quickly comforted Zhu An’an. “There’s no problem with the knockout powder. It’s the exclusive knockout powder of the Long family. It was made by the previous family head. His medical skills were renowned.”
Seeing Long Qingqing rea.s.sure her, Zhu An’an nodded and felt relieved.
Zhu Asi overheard the conversation between Zhu An’an and Long Qingqing and could not help but ask, “What do you want to do to Ning Caichen? Don’t even think of doing anything. If anything happens to Ning Caichen, I won’t show you mercy.”
“We understand.”
Zhu An’an and Long Qingqing whispered their plans to Zhu Asi.
Zhu Asi was still worried. He added, “You can do it, but I have to take a look at the knockout powder first.”
Long Qingqing nodded. “No problem.”
After the banquet ended, Zhu Asi, Zhu An’an, and Long Qingqing left mysteriously, intending to take a look at the secret medicine.
Jiang Ming saw their actions and asked curiously, “What are you up to?”
Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, the three of them suddenly felt a little guilty and quickly shook their heads. “Nothing.”
Zhu Asi realized that their att.i.tude was not right, so he hurriedly said, “I’m going with Zhu An’an to see the mermaid in Ms. Long’s room.”
A mermaid?
Jiang Ming’s interest was piqued. He continued, “I’ll go and take a look too. It seems very interesting.”
He had never thought that there would be mermaids here in the Long family. He could not help but be curious.
He wondered what the mermaid looked like.
Long Qingqing immediately put on a bitter face.
Zhu Asi did the opposite of helping!
Their original intention was to chase Ning Caichen away, but now, Ning Caichen wanted to go with them!
Zhu Asi did not expect Ning Caichen to want to see the mermaid. He could not help but feel awkward. He said, “The mermaid is afraid of strangers. She can only see the three of us. We’ll take you there after she’s a little less afraid.”
Zhu An’an listened to Zhu Asi’s stupid excuse and could not help but feel helpless.
Why did not Zhu Asi come up with a better excuse? Why did he come up with such a lousy excuse?
Hearing this strange excuse, Jiang Ming looked at the three of them apprehensively.
Jiang Ming said seriously, “Are the three of you hiding something from me? If there’s anything, just tell me. I can help you.”
Jiang Ming felt that the three of them must have encountered some difficulties, but they were afraid of troubling him, so they were being considerate.
Zhu An’an immediately tried to cover for them. “The three of us want to settle this alone. Mister, if we can’t settle it, can we call you?”
Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
They hoped that Ning Caichen would believe them. If they kept pestering them like this, they would not be able to see the secret medicine.
By then, it would be too late!
Jiang Ming did not ask further after hearing what Zhu An’an said. He nodded. “You guys go ahead. Remember to be careful. Don’t get entangled by anything.”
“Of course,” Long Qingqing replied confidently. “The three of us together will definitely be able to solve this problem.”
Seeing Long Qingqing’s anxious expression, Jiang Ming concealed his confusion and waved at the three of them. “Go quickly. Don’t delay things.”
The three of them immediately felt relieved and left quickly. Jiang Ming originally wanted to follow them, but he gave up.
There was probably no need for him to go over and take a look.
He went straight to find Master Long, who was currently looking at the porcelain on his shelf.
When he saw Jiang Ming, he immediately put down the porcelain in his hand and welcomed Jiang Ming excitedly. “Ning Caichen, sit down quickly. We have something to talk about.”
Jiang Ming was not used to Master Long’s enthusiasm, but he accepted it. Then, he looked at Master Long.
“Why did you call me here?”
After the banquet ended, Master Long secretly stuffed a note into his hands, stating that he hoped to meet him later.
Master Long and Jiang Ming were already allies. Jiang Ming did not have to refuse Master Long’s request anymore, so he agreed and found an opportunity to help Master Long.
Master Long with a worried expression, “There is indeed a very big problem. There is a sword that is glowing with dragon light in the Long family. This sword is a pair with the Dragon Sword, but it is sealed under the White Demon Tower at the bottom of the sea. Only a specific person can take it out. If possible, Ning Caichen, I hope that person is you.”
