764 Place the Bet
“How dare you! How dare you attack the people in the royal palace of the Fengyu Kingdom? Do you want to get yourself killed?”
The person Jiang Ming saw was Xu Yangyang. Xu Yangyang was also flying on a sword. She held a demon-slaying sword in her hand and raised it, intending to cut Jiang Ming in half.
Jiang Ming saw Xu Yangyang’s killing intent and threw out his folding fan.
The originally intact folding fan instantly broke, but it still countered the attack.
Xu Yangyang tried her best to slash at him again, but Jiang Ming’s folding fan was as hard as a rock. It made her feel uneasy.
“What the hell is this?”
At this point, she was sweating profusely.
She could not understand why it was so easy to break the folding fan earlier. Had she become weaker?
“Are you from the Fengyu Kingdom?”
Jiang Ming looked at Xu Yangyang and started interrogating her.
Xu Yangyang was afraid that Jiang Ming would suddenly attack, so she simply abandoned her sword. She harnessed her spiritual energy and pounced toward Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was shocked by Xu Yangyang’s fierce attack, but he quickly reacted and parried her attack.
Xu Yangyang could not withstand the force of his parry and was thrown out.
Before Xu Yangyang could react, she felt as if her entire body was being burned. She felt like she was going crazy.
“Ah! What the hell is this?”
Xu Yangyang tried her best to hold it in, but she still screamed.
“Tell me, how can I break King Fengyu’s puppet technique?”
Jiang Ming walked up to Xu Yangyang. His voice was cold.
Xu Yangyang felt intimidated. She wanted to pounce on Jiang Ming again and kill him even at the cost of her own life, but Jiang Ming stopped her.
He released the spherical barrier and trapped Xu Yangyang in it.
Xu Yangyang could not touch Jiang Ming at all. In addition, she was suffering from intense pain and was almost in despair.
“Just kill me! I will never tell you the method to break the puppet technique.”
She gave up on herself and lay in the barrier, completely ignoring what Jiang Ming said.
Jiang Ming smiled. “Think carefully. You are my hostage now. You can’t resist at all. Moreover, the master you want to protect might not be willing to save you.”
“This is impossible. I don’t believe you. The king will definitely not ignore me!”
Xu Yangyang roared at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming thought for a moment. “Why don’t we make a bet?”
“What bet? Don’t try to play any tricks. I won’t fall for it!”
Xu Yangyang was determined.
Jiang Ming was not flustered at all. Instead, he said calmly, “I won’t play tricks. I’ll bet with you whether your king will treat you well when you go back or not.”
He spoke very casually, but Xu Yangyang was afraid.
She did not want to have any conflicts with her king, but she really wanted to know the answer.
She clenched her fists and looked at Jiang Ming. “What should I do?”
Jiang Ming knew that Xu Yangyang had taken the bait. He immediately said, “After you go back, go to your king and tell him that you’ve killed me. Observe how he answers you and how he treats you.”
Xu Yangyang hesitated. “I don’t want to lie to the king.”
Jiang Ming was speechless. This was obviously blind loyalty! Still, he continued to persuade Xu Yangyang. “Why are you thinking about this? Listen to me, this is the best time to test your king.”
Xu Yangyang was at a loss.
She really did not know if she should do this.
Seeing that Xu Yangyang was still hesitating, Jiang Ming suddenly felt a little disappointed. He immediately said, “You should put yourself before your king. You have to think about whether your king is worthy of your loyalty.”
The last sentence pulled Xu Yangyang back to reality. Xu Yangyang felt that what Jiang Ming said made sense and immediately agreed. “Okay, let’s make this bet.”
“You can leave.”
Jiang Ming raised his hand, and Xu Yangyang immediately fell to the ground safe and sound. She no longer felt any pain.
Xu Yangyang was very surprised. She looked at her hands and the rest of her body. The traces of fire on them were completely gone.
It was as if she had not fought with the man in front of her at all!
“You’re letting me go just like that?”
After accepting it, Xu Yangyang’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Jiang Ming strangely.
Was he not going to put a spell on her?
Was it really okay to let her go just like that?
Jiang Ming saw Xu Yangyang’s confusion and said immediately, “I trust you. However, if you want to, I can also put a restriction on you.”
Jiang Ming’s last sentence was a little funny.
Xu Yangyang immediately relaxed. “Do you think I’m stupid? Anyway, I’m leaving. We’re destined to meet again.”
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yangyang turned around and was about to leave.
Then, she felt that something was wrong and continued, “Oh right, I’m Xu Yangyang, the witch of the Fengyu Kingdom. What’s your name?”
Although there was a high chance that they would become enemies, Xu Yangyang felt that they should at least know each other’s names.
“My name is Ning Caichen, and I’m a wanderer.”
Jiang Ming gave her a careful answer.
Xu Yangyang was stunned for a moment. Then, she tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ming strangely. “What? A wanderer? Are you kidding me?”
This was the first time she had heard of such a term. Those who did not know better would think that Ning Caichen was a beggar or something.
Why would Ning Caichen introduce himself like that?
“Yes.”
Jiang Ming nodded seriously.
This time, it was Xu Yangyang’s turn to pause. She scratched her head and turned to leave without saying another word.
Jiang Ming looked at Xu Yangyang’s back and sighed in his heart.
“Sikong Wuyuan, you’ll have to suffer for just a bit longer,” he said to himself.
He raised his hand and touched the barrier he had set up.
Above it was a barrier that he had specially set up for King Fengyu.
King Fengyu had clairvoyance, so he would definitely check on him.
Jiang Ming was still a little worried about this matter.
He was not sure if King Fengyu’s clairvoyance could be blocked by these barriers.
King Fengyu was very frustrated when he returned to the palace.
He did not expect his clairvoyance to fail. He wanted to supervise Xu Yangyang, but he could not see anything.
He did not know what happened to Xu Yangyang and how she was doing.
He still could not trust Xu Yangyang. If Xu Yangyang did anything wrong to him, he would kill her.
Just as he was thinking about this, Xu Yangyang came over. Her expression was respectful.
