“Young Master Ling, this is where you live!” Qin Keqing took the room card and swiped it lightly, after which the door in front opened.

“The place is quite simple…” she said embarra.s.sedly, “I hope you don’t mind…”

Ling Ping’an carried his cat and walked in.

What entered his eyes was a frugal suite that was about 50 to 60 square meters.

The floor was covered with a layer of gray carpet.

It should be a blanket?

The bathroom was on the left. The lights inside had already been turned on.

Behind the bathroom was a small living room.

A few old-fas.h.i.+oned wooden chairs were neatly arranged.

In the middle of the living room was a coffee table. On the coffee table was a go chessboard.

Beside the chessboard was a set of tea sets that looked very plain.

A curtain separated the living room from the bed.

When Ling Ping’an lifted the curtain and walked in, he saw an old-fas.h.i.+oned wooden bed.

There was also a white mosquito net hanging on the bed. Around the mosquito net were small bells.

Ling Ping’an moved it, and the bells rang.

He sat down and tested the hardness of the bed, and it was not bad.

He touched the quilt again. It was very clean!

As he nodded, he looked around the house.

“Although it looks a little frugal…” he thought, “it’s not bad!”

The impression this room gave him was that it was an old-fas.h.i.+oned house that had not been modernized.

Maybe it was a temporary modification for the Fellows.h.i.+p Party.

Therefore, the furnis.h.i.+ngs looked very old.

But for him, it was enough.

“Secretary Qin!” Ling Ping’an looked at the woman who had been standing at the door and seemed a little embarra.s.sed. “Is there internet in this room?”

“Yes!” Qin keqing immediately replied, “The Internet name and pa.s.sword are all on this…”

After she handed the room card in her hand to Ling Ping’an, she asked, “Young Master, are you satisfied with this place?”

Ling Ping’an nodded. “That’s not bad!”

Living alone and online.

What more could one ask for?

Qin Keqing heaved a long sigh of relief. The huge weight in her heart was finally lifted. “It’s our honor to be satisfied with you!”

The thing she was most worried about was that this house was too simple and would make this person unhappy.

If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Young Master!” Qin keqing said, “Do you need to eat?”

Ling Ping’an nodded.

“You can take the elevator and go straight down to the first floor…”

“In the lobby on the first floor, we have a special cafeteria…”

“If you want to eat stir-fried or other dishes, you can take your room card or invitation letter to the kitchen on the right side of the lobby on the first floor and ask the kitchen to prepare it for you directly…”

“Also, if you want to go to the imperial city for a vacation…”

“We have also prepared a special car for you… you can directly call the car number on the room card. Our car will serve you 24 hours a day!”

Ling Pingan nodded, indicating that he had noted it down.

Qin Keqing looked at it and immediately bowed sensibly. “Then I won’t bother you anymore!”

She took out a business card from her body and placed it on the shoe cabinet at the door. “Young Master, if you have any questions or needs, you can call my number at any time…”

“Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Qin!” Ling Ping’an nodded.

“I wish you a Pleasant Day!” Qin Keqing bowed again and then carefully left the room.

After she left, she closed the door.

She immediately let out a deep breath.

Her feet were a little weak, for the pressure on her along the way was too great!

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and no accidents happened.

She took out a makeup box from her bosom, looked in the mirror, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Then, she picked up the headset and said, “Report… Everything went smoothly… Young Master Ling has checked in!”

“Yes…”

“I know… I’ll report right away!”

Qin Keqing hung up the call and walked to the front.

After she pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton, the elevator door opened.

This was a private elevator, which meant no one could use it except for him and the authorized service staff.

Qin Keqing walked in and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the third floor.

She was going to report her work.

…

Ling Ping’an waited for Secretary Qin to leave.

Immediately, he walked to the bathroom and opened the door. There was a big wooden bucket inside.

There was a tap on the wooden bucket.

There were hot and cold labels on both sides of the tap. It was probably the supply of cold and hot water.

A bottle of shampoo, a bottle of shower gel, and a piece of soap were placed next to the bathtub.

“Meow!”

Bastet purred softly at his feet.

Ling Ping’an squatted down and teased the little guy, then said, “Little Darling… You’re hungry…”

“Then let’s go down and eat something!”

“After we eat, we’ll come up to take a bath and play games!”

“Meow!”

The little Cat agreed with this arrangement 100% !

Thus, Ling Ping’an took the room card, threw his luggage on the coffee table, and prepared to go downstairs.

When he reached the door, he saw the business card on the shoe cabinet.

He picked it up and saw a very high-cla.s.s business card.

“The Secretary of the Grand Princess’ office, Qin Keqing…” Ling Ping’an laughed.

He remembered that he had heard a legend.

It was said that the higher the rank, the simpler the business card was.

And the real bigwigs never used business cards.

They all used name thorns.

What could be more pretentious than an ancient name Thorn?

So…

“As expected of a little secretary!”

Therefore, he stuffed the business card into his pocket, opened the door, and walked toward the elevator with his cat.

He walked to the elevator door and pressed the b.u.t.ton. Ling Ping’an turned his head and saw the huge gla.s.s window next to him.

The floor he lived on was the ninth floor of the top floor of this building called Swallow House.

There seemed to be quite a number of similar buildings in this villa.

Distributed in this mountain mausoleum, these buildings were built according to a certain pattern.

And they were connected to each other by gardens and palaces.

Needless to say, the view of the ninth floor was very wide, and one could practically see the scenery of the entire villa.

If one liked to see the scenery, they would definitely like this place.

Unfortunately, Ling Ping’an was not interested in the scenery.

Therefore, he only took a glance and turned his head back.

The scenery, whether it was the forest or the plain, was more or less the same.

…

“Knock… Knock… Knock…”

Qin Keqing knocked on the door.

“Please come in!” A kind voice came from inside.

Qin Keqing opened the door and walked in.

The person in charge of the special affairs and security of this fellows.h.i.+p party, Zhang Hui, was already waiting for her.

“How is it?” Zhang Hui asked nervously, “Is that person satisfied with our arrangement?”

Qin Keqing nodded. “Report, Young Master Ling said that he likes it very much…”

“Very much?” Zhang Hui stood up and paced back and forth.

He knew that person very well.

After the man died, he would become his slave.

Therefore, Zhang Hui could vaguely feel something that flashed by.

Although she couldn’t be sure, she could vaguely understand something, especially the book of reason that he cultivated, which made his intuition more acute.

“Secretary Qin…” Zhang Hui turned around and looked at Qin Keqing. “Before the fellows.h.i.+p party officially starts, please put in more effort on young master Ling’s side!”

This time, the Federal Empire had invited him here in the name of the Fellows.h.i.+p Party.

To put it in perspective, it was using the power of the entire country to please him so that more benefits could be given.

The recovery of Spirit Aura was accelerating.

The return of the G.o.ds, the invasion of the mythical grade, was accelerating.

The Federal Empire needed the help of this ancient G.o.d!

It was not because this ancient G.o.d needed the friends.h.i.+p of the Federal Empire.

So, at all costs, please him!

Even if he wanted to learn from King Zhou You, the Federal Empire would go all out!

And this… was not shameful.

On the contrary, this was the att.i.tude and strategy that the weak had to adopt when they needed help.

…

Ling Ping’an followed Qin Keqing’s instructions and found the cafeteria in the hall downstairs.

More than a hundred people carried plates and walked among the cabinets that displayed countless food.

As Ling Pingan looked around, he couldn’t help but whistle. “There are so many things?”

He touched Bastet’s little brains. “Little Boy, you’re in Luck!”

And so, he walked forward.

A man in his twenties in a green suit appeared in front of him. “This restaurant is reserved for VIPs!”

“Only VIPs with silver cards and above are welcome!”

“If you want to go in, you must take your invitation card and register at the service desk!”

“Silver Card?” Ling Ping’an was stunned.

“Yes!” He chuckled, and his laughter was full of ridicule. “Friend, the Yan restaurant is a place to receive real VIPs!”

“Originally, only people with a gold card or above could enter to eat!”

“The current standard is the result of lowering the requirements!”

This was the truth!

All the ingredients used in this cafeteria were the most expensive in the world.

The fresh swordfish caught in the East China Sea were transported to the capital by plane after they came out of the water, after which they were directly sent here by helicopter.

From the time they were caught to the time they were sent to the dining table, it would not take more than four hours.

Therefore, the swordfish here could be eaten.

Also, the top-grade tuna caught in the northern and southern Zhou dynasties were picked from the best parts to mature.

Other things like king crabs and red-headed prawns from the Western Song dynasty.

The sea urchins and snow crabs from Fu sang were even more extravagant.

It was thus not an exaggeration to say that if this restaurant was opened in the capital’s business circle.

It would cost at least five to six thousand yuan for the meal.

Moreover, what kind of place was this?

It was a place where the real n.o.bles and top-grade bigwigs ate.

Being able to enter this place was a symbol of status and status.

Ling Ping’an scratched his head as he listened.

Although he was a gourmet, he was also a law-abiding citizen.

Since others had already said that there was a level limit here,.

He naturally wouldn’t force his way in.

Thus, he hugged his cat and said with a smile, “Little Darling, let’s go somewhere else!”

He turned around and was about to leave, but the person behind him mocked, “I don’t know where this country b.u.mpkin came from…”

The corner of Ling Pingan’s mouth twitched, but he still had a smile on his face.

He was a gentleman.

A gentleman had to control his anger!

However, in his heart, he was quite surprised.

He even had an extremely arrogant thought that even surprised him.

“That’s despicable…”

“I can crush it!”

He had a vague feeling.

As long as he was willing, with a nod of his head, that person and even the entire restaurant would turn into dust with a smack of his HP.

Or, he would be shot out of the chaotic flow of time and into a crack in s.p.a.ce.

“I’ve written too many novels…”Ling Ping’an shrugged and shook his head. “I actually had such an illusion!”

Then, he walked out with the key card in his hand. According to Secretary Qin, he would go to the kitchen on the first floor and cook some dishes.

“What did Secretary Qin say?” Ling Ping’an recalled. “On the right side of the Hall…”

“Left, right… left, right…” he gestured. In this hall, he seemed to have lost the concept of left and right.

…

Jing Sheng looked at the shabby-looking young man and gestured in the direction of the hall like a fool.

“He can’t even distinguish left and right!” He shook his head. “He’s really a country b.u.mpkin!”

“Jing Sheng! “Behind him, a woman’s voice sounded. “Who are you calling a country b.u.mpkin?”

“Here!” Jing Sheng didn’t turn his head. He pointed at the person in the hall. “Him!”

The woman looked in the direction Jing Sheng was pointing and saw an ordinary-looking young man holding a cat. He was gesturing in the hall as if he couldn’t even distinguish left from right.

Pfft!

The woman laughed. “This fellows.h.i.+p party is really full of all kinds of ghosts and monsters!”

With a nod, Jing sheng asked, “Sister w.a.n.g, why are you here?”

The woman said, “I’m here because I heard some interesting rumors…”

“Huh?”

“Just now, there was a rumor in the tower that a young and unreasonable general was picked up by the eldest princess’ master…”

“There were also rumors that the eldest princess’ master was here!”

“There were even rumors that the illegitimate son of the late Emperor would appear at this fellows.h.i.+p party. The emperor will personally issue an edict to confirm his ident.i.ty as the Prince after the Fellows.h.i.+p Party!”

Jing Sheng’s eyebrows rose. “What is all this about?”

He didn’t really believe these rumors, for the general was just too young.

His brother, Jing Qing, was already a rare genius in Northern Zhou in recent years. He had only become a major before the age of twenty-five!

A general in his twenties?

That’s impossible!

“But…”the woman said, “Those people have a nose and eyes!”

“In particular, the legend of the general was personally confirmed by a n.o.ble of the Western Song dynasty!”

“It’s said that he saw the general get into the Phoenix carriage with his own eyes!”

“In addition, I also found out that the eldest princess’ Phoenix carriage did indeed appear here today. It was indeed driven out by someone!”

“Is that so?” Jing Sheng became serious.

If a young general did appear, then…

Then, that general’s purpose for coming here was probably already clear as day.

His target must be the current commander-in-chief of the entire blackguard, and even that commander-in-chief had his eyes on — Li Anan!

Legend had it that this major was not only a beauty of the nation, but also a peerless beauty!

More importantly, she was blessed with great fortune, so much so that the important figures of the blackguard called her a ‘Koi’.

She would be able to b.u.mp into a treasure when she went out. No matter what happened, she would turn misfortune into good luck, even if she met with misfortune.

Anyone or anything that attempted to harm her would die miserably due to all sorts of accidents.

More importantly, her luck could be shared with the people around her.

Legend had it that someone prayed to her to bless her child’s college entrance exam.

In the end, she got a high score.

There was even someone who prayed to her to win the lottery and win the first prize the next day!

She was truly a walking lucky star and a living bodhisattva.

If these legends were only spoken by others, perhaps not many people would pay attention to them.

In spite of that, the entire upper echelon of the Blackguard had tacitly agreed.

This really stirred up the emotions of many people.

The first target was this koi fish and the lucky star.

Everyone knew that as long as they won her heart, not only would their future be boundless, but the entire family would rise to the heavens!

Jing Sheng’s elder brother had specifically come for that koi major.

All the resources and connections in the Jing family had been mobilized to create momentum.

Jing Sheng had even come here to take the lead for his elder brother.

But he hadn’t expected that a general-level powerhouse would also target that Major.

Jing Sheng couldn’t help but frown deeply.

If that was true, the Jing Family’s wishful thinking was about to fail.

No matter how powerful his brother was, he probably couldn’t compete with a general!

Just as he was frowning, the woman behind him laughed. “Jing Sheng, look at that country b.u.mpkin you mentioned…”

“He’s actually heading towards the Royal Private Kitchen!”

“Does he think he can go to the royal private kitchen for a meal?”

After that, Jing Sheng raised his head and looked ahead.

The person holding the cat indeed behaved like what the woman had said. He was heading toward the royal private kitchen on the right side of the hall, even though he wasn’t qualified to go there!

Just then, Jing Sheng raised his eyebrows and said to the woman behind him, “Sister w.a.n.g, shall we tease him?”
