Chapter 544: Chapter 137 Heavenly Person Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)
Jiangning Mansion.
Forecourt hall.
âIt seems he has arrived!â Bai Luoyu opened his folding fan and gently shook it, a smile playing on his lips.
Upon hearing this, several people in the hall immediately turned their eyes towards the entrance.
One breath later.
Xiao Emeiâs gaze involuntarily shifted towards Bai Luoyu.
It was only then that she heard footsteps approaching from a distance.
It was the sound of two people.
At this moment, she also instantly realized that Bai Luoyuâs senses were superior to her own.
This undoubtedly indicated that Bai Luoyuâs strength was above hers.
Because generally speaking, the farther one advanced in Martial Arts, the stronger their senses became.
A powerful Martial Artist could even reach a state with closed eyes as if in broad daylight and could instantly visualize all the surrounding changes in their mind through the smell, the flow of air, and the transmission of sound.
Another moment passed.
Jiang Ningâs figure appeared at the doorway, with Lv Yi following close behind.
Upon seeing this, Hong Minghu and Bai Luoyu promptly stood up.
Xiao Emei hesitated for a second before rising as well.
âI have seen the Residence Master,â Jiang Ning stepped over the threshold, his gaze sweeping over the hall, and then he cupped his hands towards Hong Minghu.
Then his eyes landed on Bai Luoyu and Xiao Emei, pausing for a brief moment as he scanned past Bai Luoyu.
âResidence Master, who are these two?â Jiang Ning asked again.
By then, Hong Minghu had already risen, and he gestured towards Bai Luoyu, introducing him to Jiang Ning, âCommander Jiang, this is Bai Luoyu, Patrol Envoy from the Inspection Office of Dongling City.â
Then he turned to Xiao Emei and said, âThis is the esteemed senior disciple of the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace, the third-ranked Xiao Emei of the Hidden Dragon Gang.â
Hearing this, Jiang Ningâs eyes deepened with a slight change as he looked at Xiao Emei.
Water Moon Sword Palace.
These four words immediately caught his attention.
Because He Jinseng had been honest with him before departing.
He Jinyunâs motherâs identity was extraordinary, being the sister of the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace, Xiao Qiushui.
In other words, the He Jinyun he had killed was the nephew of the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace.
And the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace was regarded as the premier expert of Dongling County, known as the foremost person beneath the Grandmaster.
Her strength was evident.
Not to mention that she also possessed the status of the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace.
Women are not to be trifled with, let alone one such as this middle-aged lady.
It was well known across all of Dongling County that the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace was an existence not to be provoked.
âIt seems this woman has come for me!â Jiang Ning thought to himself.
Then he cupped his hands towards Bai Luoyu, âI have seen the Patrol Envoy!â
âThe title of âPatrol Envoyâ doesnât suit me!â Bai Luoyu laughed, waving his folding fan, âYou and I are colleagues, just call me Brother Bai. Iâve always enjoyed making friends and calling each other brothers among peers of integrity!â
âI have seen Brother Bai!â Jiang Ning said.
Hearing this, Bai Luoyu revealed a smile and gently shook the fan in his hand.
âBrother Jiangâs name, I have heard many times in the residence, seeing you today, I understand you indeed live up to your reputation! Young and promising, truly a heaven-sent prodigy of Martial Arts!â
âYou flatter me too much, Brother Bai!â Jiang Ning replied with a smile.
Beside them, Xiao Emei watched this scene with a trace of surprise in her heart.
She knew well of Bai Luoyuâs reputation in Dongling City, to say he was haughty would not be an overstatement.
There werenât many in Dongling City who could gain Bai Luoyuâs approval, and even fewer he would address as brothers.
âWhat makes him worthy?â Xiao Emei measured Jiang Ning silently, pondering to herself.
Sensing Xiao Emeiâs gaze covertly turning towards him, Jiang Ningâs heart tensed slightly.
It was clear he had been targeted.
Perhaps it was best to strike first?
A thought briefly flashed through his mind, then he suppressed it momentarily.
âBrother, you handle the hosting; Iâll go get lunch ready,â Jiang Li spoke up from the side.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning promptly nodded, âAlright!â
Then he turned towards Bai Luoyu, âBrother Bai, how about going to my courtyard?â
âIs there wine?â Bai Luoyu inquired.
âYes!â Jiang Ning nodded.
âExcellent!â Bai Luoyu clapped his hands and laughed, âThen letâs drink and talk.â
âŠ
East courtyard.
In the pavilion.
On the white jade stone table, several dishes of nuts were laid out.
Jiang Ning and the other three were seated on all four sides.
âGreat wine!â Bai Luoyu tasted his first sip of wine and immediately felt the chill with the liquor turning into a blazing fire in his belly, the alcohol rising to his face.
After praising it, he added, âThis wine also contains special substances! Theyâve transformed the taste of the wine qualitatively.â
âBrother Bai is perceptive!â Jiang Ning complimented.
Bai Luoyu just laughed, âYou and I are of the same path, such changes are naturally perceivable.â
âOf the same path?â Jiang Ning looked puzzled.
Bai Luoyu chuckled, âBrother Jiang and I are alike, both born with Innate Spiritual Wisdom, and amongst those, we are the cream of the crop, able to sense energies imperceptible to others.â
âIf we had been born in the Ancient Era, you and I would have been able to become deities and ancestors, living beings of immortal repute.â
âAlas!â
Bai Luoyu shook his head slightly as he said this.
Xiao Emei and Hong Minghu, who were seated nearby, didnât take it to heart.
They had heard Bai Luoyuâs declaration at the entrance and were aware of Jiang Ningâs uniqueness.
âNo wonder Commander Jiang has been able to make such rapid progress in Martial Arts, advancing so swiftly to his current position!â Hong Minghu followed along with Bai Luoyuâs words.
âThatâs not quite right!â Bai Luoyu shook his head, âThis is not the Ancient Era, the environment has already changed, and the so-called Innate Spiritual Wisdom doesnât play a significant role anymore, it only means having an advantage in some aspects. Brother Jiangâs progress is still due to his own efforts.â
Lv Yi, who was standing behind, heard this and thought of Jiang Ningâs hard work, nodding in deep agreement.
