Chapter 895: Chapter 895

"Why?" Lu Junyi looked at Jiang Ning with a half-smile.

"Because I think you should dismiss this idea!" Jiang Ning said without allowing for any opposition.

Upon hearing this, Lu Junyi calmly looked at Jiang Ning and said no more.

He suddenly stood up.

"I will seriously consider Inspector Jiang’s suggestion, but the person I just mentioned is not me! I have no thoughts about my junior sister."

"It’s my master who has this idea, wanting to offer Junior Sister Wang in marriage to the second son of Prince Huaian!"

"If you wish to stop this matter in time, Inspector Jiang needs to invite Ye Zhengqi to step in! My master would give face to a Heavenly Human Grandmaster."

"It would be even better if Shen Wenyan could be brought in!"

Lu Junyi then turned and left.

Watching Lu Junyi’s departing figure, Jiang Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He had heard of him a long time ago.

That was in the sixth or seventh month of last year.

At that time, Hunjiang Dragon Tian Buyi had intercepted the tribute of Medicine King Valley meant for Prince Huaian, the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill.

Later, Tian Buyi died at his hands, and the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill fell into his hands and was used by him.

At that time, the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill had provided him with significant help.

From this point, he and Prince Huaian had already had dealings.

At this moment, information about Prince Huaian instantly flashed in his mind.

Prince Huaian was a prince residing in the Huai’an Prefecture, a prince in the prime of his fame.

Currently, the entire Huai’an Prefecture was the fief of that Prince Huaian.

However, decades ago, the Huai’an Prince Mansion was still the Huai’an Marquis Mansion.

In the Huai’an Marquis Mansion, a son was born to a lowly concubine.

Who would have thought that this lowly concubine would give birth to a son who would lead the declining Huai’an Marquis Mansion to become the Huai’an Prince Mansion.

And because of her son, that lowly concubine became Prince Huaian, a rising star who changed her fate entirely.

With the information about Prince Huaian flashing through his mind.

Jiang Ning roughly understood why Lu Junyi spoke those words when he saw him.

Although Prince Huaian resided in the Huai’an Prefecture, his influence had long extended to Guangning Prefecture.

The fact that the Medicine King Valley had to pay tribute to the Huai’an Prince Mansion every year was enough to show this.

Now in Guangning Prefecture, Shen Wenyan had completely risen, was courted by the court, and was bestowed the title of Marquis.

The Shen Family therefore received the fief of Xichuan County.

Xichuan County was already within Guangning Prefecture, and this brought increased pressure for the Lu family.

The Lu family, at this current generation, had already lost its past glory.

Although there was the inheritance of a marquis, after the first Marquis Lu died, the Lu family had not produced a strong leader for years.

Like Shen Wenyan, such a strong person.

So now, Shen Wenyan taking over as the Residence Master of the Inspection Office in Guangning City posed a significant threat to the Lu family.

Not to mention the rising Prince Huaian.

If Prince Huaian’s second son truly marries Wang Qintan, the eldest daughter of Dongling County’s Prefectural Governor, the power scope will inevitably reach from the neighboring Huai’an Prefecture to Guangning Prefecture.

Though the Guangning Marquis Lu Mansion is a local power, it has little resistance.

The gap in strength between the two is too big.

As for Lu Junyi saying these things to him, Jiang Ning did not find it strange.

"Young Marquis, why did you tell him those things?" the sword-holding woman following Lu Junyi finally spoke after they had descended the stairs.

"It’s simple, to use Lord Jiang’s hand and to see what position this Lord Jiang holds in Ye Zhengqi’s heart!" Lu Junyi began.

He continued, "I have heard that at Grandmaster Xiao Qiushui’s banquet, Ye Zhengqi specifically brought him to try and resolve the feud between this Lord Jiang and Palace Master Xiao." For original chapters go to NovelHub(.)net

"I heard the feud wasn’t resolved, but instead, Ye Zhengqi and Li Sixiang got into a fight."

"In the end, neither of those two was harmed, but Xiao Qiushui died; it’s both ridiculous and sad!!"

"Isn’t this just gods fighting and mortals suffering!!"

At this point, Lu Junyi suddenly sighed deeply.

By the window on the third floor.

Jiang Ning lightly tapped the table, lost in thought.

Emotionally and logically, he had to help Wang Qintan.

After all, Wang Qintan had truly helped him a lot and treated him well.

And she always disliked such arranged marriages.

Previously, she had even talked with him, expressing that she would never marry in this lifetime and had no intention of getting married.

He supported Wang Qintan’s wishes.

After all, the Martial Arts path is a way of individual transcendence.

Most ordinary people get married because, in their fleeting century as a mere guest, they want to leave something in this world.

Also, they want to have children to rely on in old age.

Another reason is legacy–the passing on of life.

But with Wang Qintan’s identity, as the reincarnation of the Phoenix Heavenly Girl, she doesn’t need these things.

The Phoenix Heavenly Girl, an Ancient God.

They inherently embody legacy, regardless of time’s shifts, like Wang Qintan, reincarnating again in another life.

Such beings do not need descendants to carry on their lives.

A sound brought back his focus.

Jiang Ning looked up to see a young servant with a vermilion tray carrying colorful seasonal dishes, standing a few meters away without approaching.

"Bring it over," he said lightly.

He then stopped dwelling on Wang Qintan’s matter.

As Lu Junyi mentioned, Wang Qintan’s marriage was her master’s decision, the very master who had the idea on his own.

All he needed was to have Ye Zhengqi step in, and her master was likely to give face.

For now, he had no desire to trouble others.

Also, he felt it unnecessary to bother Ye Zhengqi.

Because he would soon break through to the Third Grade and become a Heavenly Human Grandmaster.

With his accumulation, relying on Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill and comprehension of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, he would quickly complete the second blood exchange.

Then, with accumulated Source Energy Points, he believed the Chopping Wood Blade Skill would break through further, leading to the sword intent attracting the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism into his body for a third blood exchange.

Three times exchanged blood as a Heavenly Human Grandmaster, and at such a young age.

He believed that if Wang Qintan’s master had any sense, he would give him face.

After sorting out his thoughts, he looked at the hot dishes being served, feeling a growing appetite.

In recent days, he had been traveling and hadn’t eaten well.

Now, the delicious scent and appearance of the dishes in front of him made his appetite stir.

For him, savoring food was an enjoyment, a part of life that made him feel it was worthwhile.

He picked up his chopsticks and tried a piece of venison.

As soon as the venison entered his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"Sir, this is Qionghua Dew, a jug is five taels, and together they make a pound!" The servant placed the four dishes on the table, then brought the two jugs from the tray to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded, "Bring out the rest of the dishes quickly!"

"Understood, sir. I have already asked the kitchen to prioritize your dishes," the servant replied.

"Well done!" Jiang Ning said.

Beside him, Lv Yi held the wine jug and filled Jiang Ning’s glass.

Qionghua Dew differed from ordinary wine.

It shimmered with a silvery gleam.

After a glance, Jiang Ning tasted it.

Qionghua Dew went down smoothly, lacking the usual wine’s harshness and strong alcohol scent, instead having a mild, refreshing, and pure taste.

The aftertaste was pleasantly sweet, with a hint of fruit aroma.

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He found Qionghua Dew’s taste quite suitable for women.

"I’m glad you liked it, sir!" The servant bowed and retreated.

"Sit and join me!" Jiang Ning said, looking at the standing Lv Yi.

"Yes, master!" Lv Yi, upon hearing Jiang Ning’s instruction, obediently sat down opposite him.

Seeing the fish Jiang Ning placed in her bowl, her eyes curved like crescent moons with joy.

The two then began to eat.

Especially Jiang Ning, who helped himself unabashedly.

Having not had a good meal in days, with nothing to do today, he decided he would indulge himself properly.
