623 Fame
Jiang Ming stared at the woman warily and asked, “Ms. Su, no, Marquis Su, why are you looking for me?”
Jiang Ming was not some random person who would be afraid when he saw a strong person.
However, Jiang Ming felt a holy aura from this mysterious woman. If it were an ordinary person, they would kneel down and bow before this holy aura. However, Jiang Ming was different. He would only be vigilant.
Su Ruoning sensed Jiang Ming’s thoughts and smiled lightly. She said disapprovingly, “Who exactly are you?”
“Hmm? You came to find me. Yet you don’t know who I am? Marquis Su, are you playing with me?”
Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened as he stared at the other party with some hostility.
Su Ruoning smiled again and said calmly, “I came to find you because someone entrusted me with this task. In addition, don’t worry too much. Although I am from the same bloodline as Bai Ruoning, and we both come from Qing Qiu, I am not someone like Bai Ruoning. I came here to give you two choices. It doesn’t matter which one you choose. I don’t care because a person named Gongye Jiu asked me to give them to you. The first choice is to become the son-in-law of Qing Qiu. You will obtain supreme status and glory. In the vast world of immortal cultivation, you may not be able to do as you please, but you will have considerable privileges. The second choice is to let the people of Qing Qiu follow you and protect you for ten years, but after ten years, you will have to fight for the position of the overlord of Qing Qiu for the Su family.”
Su Ruoning seemed to be smiling and speaking kindly, but she did not give off a good feeling. Jiang Ming took a deep breath and immediately said, “Let me think about it.”
He could not agree immediately, or else there would be endless trouble.
Su Ruoning did not insist. “Make your choice. I won’t care even if you disagree. However, if the Bai family tries to harm you again, I won’t help you.”
Jiang Ming’s brows twitched. He did not quite understand why Gongye Jiu would ask the people of Qing Qiu to help him. There must be something strange about it.
Seeing through Jiang Ming’s thoughts, Su Ruoning smiled and did not explain.
After Su Ruoning left, Jiang Ming remembered where this woman had gone to find him. Zhu An’an walked over and stared in the direction Su Ruoning had left.
“Mister, do you want me to follow her and find out more about her?”
“There’s no need. Although your talent is stunning, this woman is not ordinary either.”
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and said seriously, “The Su, Bai, and Tu surnames are all major surnames of Qing Qiu. They are known as the Three Uniques of Qing Qiu. Their ancestors all had peerless experts who were no weaker than Saints, or even stronger than Saints. They were only second to the Qing Qiu empress. And the ancestor of the Su family had a stunning and extraordinary woman named Su Daji. She was definitely an unimaginably powerful existence. Even if she had been in born in the Lower Realm, she would still have been an imposing existence that mortals could not imagine. If you want to fight such a person, I’m afraid that you don’t have much chance of winning. You might even die in vain.”
Jiang Ming spoke bluntly. He knew that Zhu An’an was doing this for his own good, but things were quite tricky. Now that Su Ruoning was only giving him a choice and had no intention of attacking him, there was no need to target her.
After returning, Jiang Ming went through everything that happened today, and his face suddenly darkened.
“I’ve been schemed against!”
Zhu Anan immediately surrounded him and asked curiously, “Mister, how did we fall into this trap? Didn’t we successfully teach Bai Ruoning and the princess of Qingmiao Kingdom a lesson tonight? We are the final victors.”
Jiang Ming sighed and said in a deep voice, “An’an, remember, sometimes, a victory on the surface may not be a victory at all. It could be a complete defeat. Do you understand?”
“What do you mean?”
Zhu An’an was instantly puzzled. She was very smart, but because she had lived in the Ghost Spirit Sect and the Flowerfruit Sect since she was young, she was very sheltered and had very little understanding of these things.
“Do you still remember the other aura we sensed at the venue today?”
“I remember. That should be Dragon’s Gate Town’s mayor, right?”
“No, that’s not Zhou Zheng. It’s another guy hiding behind the scenes. It’s also this guy who’s scheming against me. I also sensed that his aura was very familiar. Now that I think about it carefully, he should be someone from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect.”
“The Ancient Yin Yang Sect again? Why didn’t they stay in the Yin Yang Empire? Why did they come out?”
Zhu An’an frowned and said angrily, “Speaking of which, these people from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect are not good people. They like to find trouble with us for no reason. There’s clearly no conflict of interest between us.”
“It’s because there’s no conflict of interest on the surface that I’m puzzled. There must be some conflict behind the scenes, especially in terms of interests, but I don’t know what it is exactly.”
Jiang Ming shook his head. “The princess of Qingmiao Kingdom wants to take me down. On one hand, she wants to intimidate the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, but there must be another reason. If it’s to deter the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, it definitely isn’t just for me. There must be something I haven’t understood yet.”
Jiang Ming could not help but rub his temples as he felt a headache coming on. Then, he looked to the other side.
“There are still people monitoring us, and it’s not just any old group of people. There’s a group of people who are the same as those at Longqie Mountain. They’re watching us from afar but haven’t shown their faces. Their auras are also somewhat familiar. They seem to be from the Mo family.”
The Mo family?
Zhu An’an’s brows were tightly knitted. She was most annoyed by the Mo family, so she never thought that they would suddenly appear.
“I’ll go and deal with them.”
Zhu An’an immediately wanted to take care of them, but Jiang Ming stopped her.
“Why are you stopping them? Why don’t we let them watch from the side? I also want to know what they want to do.”
Jiang Ming’s lips kept curling up, causing Zhu An’an to groan.
That was true!
The most important thing to do now was to let these people understand that they were not to be trifled with.
They had to kill them in one blow and intimidate everyone. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Jiang Ming’s eyes flashed with a strange light. He was looking forward to the follow-up actions of these people. He would suppress them with thunderous means if they dared to challenge his authority first. His reputation in Dragon’s Gate Town and even the entire Dragon Marquis Kingdom would be completely established!
