Asahi Royal Palace, in the king's palace, under the rays of light, an illusory figure stood in front of the throne. The whole body was so dense that it was difficult to distinguish its true appearance.
King of Asahi is a world-famous strong man. Even among the Primeval Demonic Realm, where there are many strong men, no one dares to touch his edge easily.
In the royal palace, a man in black knelt half-kneeling on the ground and returned his life respectfully.
"Did you find anything?" King of Asahi said in front of the throne.
"Reporting to my king, there is no news. This person seems to appear out of thin air and no one knows him." The man in black replied.
"Oh?"
In the glow, King of Asahi let out a light sigh and said, "You can't even find any clues, so this person's identity becomes even more suspicious."
"My king, this person has life-saving feelings for the young master. You can use this as an excuse to invite him to the palace. With the king's cultivation, you should be able to see some traces." The man in black suggested.
"I have asked Xuyao to invite her. However, I have temporarily postponed her entry into the palace on the pretext that girl Xia Zhi needs someone to take care of her." King of Asahi said lightly.
The man in black stared and said, "It seems that this person is quite cautious and very wary."
"Yes"
King of Asahi nodded and said calmly, "No rush, as long as he does not leave the royal city for a day, he will continue to be under my control and will continue to monitor him. If there is any trouble, he will come back immediately to report."
"Yes"
The man in black respectfully accepted the order, then his figure faded away and disappeared.
The secret guard left, the glow dissipated in front of the throne, and the figure of the king disappeared without a trace.
In the west courtyard of the palace, Xuyao was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, gently wiping the ancient sword in his hand, looking meticulous and extremely focused.
In the courtyard, none of the maids came forward to disturb the young master. The young master is a man who cherishes swords very much. If anyone comes to disturb him at this time, he will definitely make the young master unhappy.
Although the young master doesn't get angry easily, he is still very scary when he gets angry.
Farewell Cloud ancient sword, Asahi Royal City is one of the handed down artifacts. It is said that it has been stained with the blood of the emperors of hundreds of tribes and has extraordinary spirituality. Even in the ranking of artifacts of hundreds of tribes, it is enough to rank in the top ten.
At this time, the sky above the west courtyard was gathering, and a figure shrouded in the glow came out. Looking at the figure in the courtyard, he said lightly, "Xuyao, go and invite that Mr. Ning when you have time."
In front of the stone table, Xuyao came to his senses, carefully put down the ancient sword in his hand, looked at the sky, and said calmly, "Is there something important that my father is so anxious to invite Mr. Ning to come here?"
In the void, King of Asahi quietly looked at the legitimate son below. After a moment, he said indifferently, "Why, do you have any doubts about your father's decision?"
"I don't dare to question, but my father was too impatient, so I had to doubt him." Xu Yang said calmly.
King of Asahi Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "My father invited him here just to thank you in person. He has saved your life, and my father will not do anything to him."
Xuyao showed a smile on his face and said, "I understand, I will invite you again when I have time. However, I cannot guarantee whether Mr. Ning will come or not."
"Just do your best"
In the void, King of Asahi responded, and without another word, the glow in the sky dissipated, and the king's figure also disappeared.
In the courtyard, the four maids Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju looked worried when they heard the conversation between the young master and King of Asahi. They could tell that the conversation between the two did not seem so pleasant.
In front of the stone table, Xuyao saw the worried looks on the four people's faces and smiled, "Don't think too much, it's okay. My father and I just have different attitudes. Ordinary fathers and sons have quarrels, let alone me and him."
In the royal city, in a mansion not far from the royal palace, after several days of recuperation, Xia Zhi's injuries gradually improved. Although his body had not yet recovered, he seemed to be fine on the surface.
In the courtyard of the mansion, Ning Chen is busy selecting medicinal materials. He has become a good doctor after a long illness. His understanding of most wound medicines is probably as good as any doctor.
After lying there for several days, feeling uncomfortable all over, Xia Zhi walked out of the room with some difficulty. Seeing the busy figures in the courtyard, he asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
Hearing the movement behind him, Ning Chen looked back, looked at the woman walking out, and said with a smile, "Why are you up? How do you feel?"
"Much better."
Xia Zhi responded lightly, stepped forward, looked at the medicinal materials that the former was sorting, and asked with a strange expression, "You prepare all the medicines I take these days?"
"Yeah"
Ning Chen nodded and chuckled, "Why, are you doubting my level and worried that I will poison you?"
"That's not what I meant."
Xia Zhi felt that the tone of his question was wrong, and quickly shook his head in denial, "I just think it's strange that you have such a high level of cultivation, and you actually know medical skills."
"A long-term illness makes a good doctor. I have used these medicines before, so I am very familiar with their properties. Your injury looks serious, but in fact the damage to the internal organs is not serious. It will be fine after a few days of rest." Ning Chen smiled.
Xia Zhi was silent, and after a moment, he said softly, "Thank you."
Ning Chen was startled when he heard this. He quickly recovered, smiled and said, "It's not easy for Miss Xia Zhi to say thank you like this. However, I saved your life, so just thank you, isn't it too little?"
"What else do you want?"
Xia Zhi said with a deliberately surprised expression.
"Heh"
Seeing the former's reaction, Ning Chen smiled on his face and said, "It seems that the girl is almost healed, and she is much more cheerful."
"It's because you have worked so hard to take care of me these days that I forgive you for hurting me."
Xia Zhi squatted down and looked at the pile of herbs on the ground, and suddenly had a headache. She didn't recognize any of these things.
"By the way, which race are you from? Among the hundreds of races, the ones with kings in charge should be the rich ones. Your identity is also very unusual." Ning Chen turned his head and looked at the woman beside him, curiously.
"Secrets cannot be told." Xia Zhi curled his lips and said.
"Forget it if you don't tell me. I'm just curious anyway."
Ning Chen responded casually, and then continued to play with his own medicinal materials. He had studied these things these days and found them quite interesting. No wonder Grandpa Shennong had the perseverance to taste the herbs. In addition to his benevolence to save the world, he may also have some desire for unknown knowledge.
He doesn't have the noble spirit of Grandpa Shennong. He can't save the world, but he can save just a girl.
Xia Zhi squatted next to him and watched him playing with the herbs. After a while, he felt bored.
"Then what race are you? There is no information about you in the information about Asahi Royal City."
Thinking that she was now captured by the person in front of her, Xia Zhi asked still a little unconvinced.
"Secret"
Ning Chen responded casually.
"I'm not talking about knocking you down, I'm just curious."
Xia Zhi said angrily.
"By the way, your sister won't be stupid enough to lurk back to save you again."
Ning Chen carefully put Lingzhi in his hand into the prepared wooden box and asked casually.
Xia Zhi heard this, his white brows suddenly wrinkled, and he said with some worry, "My sister is stubborn, she will definitely come back again."
"Take it"
Ning Chen threw the wooden box to the former and said, "Tell me, are you stupid? This is Asahi Royal City. Even if you succeed, there is little chance that you can escape. Two lives for one. It is obviously a loss-making business, but you still insist on doing it. Even if you want to hack that Xuyao to death, you will find a time when he is out of the city and call you stupid. You are still not convinced."
"Hmph!"
Xia Zhi hugged the wooden box and snorted through gritted teeth, but didn't know how to refute.
"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."
Ning Chen stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Ready to receive guests."
"Who is Cao Cao?"
Xia Zhi asked with some confusion.
"The fastest man in the world"
Ning Chen responded casually, and then warned with some worry, "The young master of the royal city is here, you have to hold back, this is their territory, if you make trouble for others, I can't save you."
"I know." Xia Zhi gritted his teeth and replied.
"Brother Ning, this young master is here again."
The two of them had just finished speaking. Outside the courtyard, Xuyao held an ancient sword and walked in. Before anyone arrived, the voice could already be heard.
Not long after, in front of the backyard, Xuyao came over and saw the two people in the courtyard. He smiled heartily and said, "They are all here."
"You come here often enough."
Seeing the former, Xia Zhi felt an unknown anger in his heart and said sarcastically.
"Father has an order. Let me invite Brother Ning to go to the palace. Father's order cannot be violated, and I can't help myself." Xuyao said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"A raccoon dog of the same breed," Xia Zhi snorted coldly.
"Xia Zhi girl, what you said is wrong."
Xuyao chuckled and said, "I am me, and my father is my father. I have seen him unhappy for a long time, but I can't beat him, so I have to listen to him."
"Hmph"
Xia Zhi snorted again and ignored it.
"Young Master, Miss Xia Zhi has not yet recovered from her injuries. Please wait a few more days." Ning Chen said with a smile.
"Don't wait any longer."
Xuyao smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't go for one day, I will be constantly urged by my father to go and see him. It is your first time to Asahi Royal City, and you have helped me save my life. He will not make things difficult for you."
"So anxious?" Ning Chen asked doubtfully.
"Very urgent!" Xuyao nodded vigorously.
"Then I can't go."
Ning Chen had a look of contempt on his face and said, "Even a fool can see that there is something fishy in this. Young Master, your father is the king of the Mortal Realm. I can't beat you. If I say anything wrong and make your father unhappy, I won't even have a chance to run away. Even a fool understands such a simple truth. Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not stupid."
"..."
Xuyao was choked and couldn't say a word. In fact, he also felt that there was something wrong with his father's attitude, but he had to tell the truth due to pressure.
"Mr. Ning, you think my king's mind is too narrow-minded."
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded in the sky above the mansion. The next moment, thousands of rays of light gathered, and an illusory and powerful figure walked out. The terrifying pressure swept down, and the entire world changed color.
"King of Asahi"
In the courtyard of the mansion, Ning Chen looked at the figure appearing in the sky, his expression became solemn.
