At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Jiang Ming glanced at Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan, hid the boor, and shouted at the door.

“Enter!”

The person who came was an old man with a straight figure and sunken eyes.

“Lord Ning Caichen, I’m a subordinate of King Xiaguo. I’ve come here for some matters. My name is Zhang Xiajing. You can call me Mr. Xiajing. Lord Ning Caichen, 1 would like to invite you to the Moonlight Banquet.”

Zhang Xiajing smiled happily, his eyes s.h.i.+ning.

When he met Jiang Mings gaze, his eyes became even more pa.s.sionate.

“Mr. Xiajing?” Jiang Ming glanced at Zhang Xiajing and looked at him strangely. “Mr. Xiajing, did King Xiaguo invite me?”

“No. I, Zhang Xiajing, wanted to invite you.”

Zhang Xiajings enthusiasm soared, and Jiang Ming felt uncomfortable.

Sikong Wuyuan sized up Zhang Xiajing and leaned against the wall. “Mr. Xiajing, why did you invite us to this banquet for no reason? Also, what is the Moonlight Banquet?”

However, Zhang Xiajings eyes became blurry, as if he was lost in thought. “Ning Caichen has a familiar scent on him. That’s why I invited all of you.”

“What familiar scent?”

Jiang Ming suddenly felt that Zhang Xiajing was being even stranger, and his brows furrowed.

Why did he feel that Zhang Xiajing was trying to get close to him?

However, Zhang Xiajing shook his head. He waved his hand and said, “l don’t want to talk about this. Come on! It’s good for you to partic.i.p.ate in the Moonlight Banquet. There will be a special type of moonlight inside, which can nourish your spiritual energy.”

As Zhang Xiajing spoke, Jiang Ming secretly observed his expression.

Zhang Xiajings eyes seemed to reveal a fathomless emotion.

“What other benefits does the Moonlight Banquet have?” Jiang Ming thought for a while and asked.

He felt that Zhang Xiajing was talking nonsense.

Zhang Xiajing could not help but pause.

“How about this? If you want to go to the Moonlight Banquet, I can take you to the Treasure Pavilion that I built. There are endless treasures inside. You can have fun and choose a magic treasure.”

As he said this, he felt proud of himself.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and felt that what Zhang Xiajing said was not very believable, so he immediately rejected his offer. Zhang Xiajing could not help but hold his breath.

At this moment, Yuan Hehe also spoke.

“Nothing you said sounded convincing. Forget it. You can leave.”

He felt that Zhang Xiajing was up to no good.

“l think Yuan Hehe is right,” Sikong Wuyuan said. “You should leave now.”

Zhang Xiajing could not help but cough. Then, he said, “If you still don’t like my offer, you can ask for something else. I will do whatever I can to fulfill it.”

“Why do you have to make us attend the banquet?”

Jiang Ming realized something and sized up Zhang Xiajing.

Zhang Xiajings heart tightened.

If Ning Caichen knew about his deal with the king, he would be finished.

“It’s because 1 admire you! I really want you to partic.i.p.ate. I hope you can agree.

He continued to be cheerful, making it impossible for them to see his true feelings.

“Didn’t you say that we ask for anything? How about this? If you kneel outside for six hours, we’ll consider going to the banquet,” Sikong Wuyuan said.

He felt that this was the best solution.

As a person by the kings side and a minister who had always been popular, Zhang Xiajing should have too much pride to agree.

However, if he agreed, it could prove that Zhang Xiajing had ulterior motives.

Jiang Ming felt that Sikong Wuyuan’s request was inappropriate, but he did not say anything.

He also wanted to know if Zhang Xiajing would do such a thing. However, Zhang Xiajing agreed immediately, and he was still smiling.

“It’s my honor.”

This was the first time Yuan Hehe had heard such words. He could not help but drop his jaw in shock. Then, he grinned and teased Jiang Ming. “Ning Caichen, look at him. He wants you to go so much. Why don’t you just agree?

Anyway, I’m allowed to make a request too, right? Still, you should fulfill

Sikong Wuyuan’s conditions first. Let us see your sincerity.”

Yuan Hehe suddenly guessed Zhang Xiajings intentions, and his heart immediately sank.

“I’ll go now.”

Zhang Xiajing did not seem angry at all. He turned around and went to the courtyard. He knelt down.

The door was always open, and Jiang Ming and the other two looked at him.

Zhang Xiajing did not make any sound at all, but the servant girl on the other side panicked and said to Jiang Ming, “Lord Ning Caichen, Lord Zhang Xiajing is an important minister under the king. He really can’t do such a thing. 1 hope you can let Lord Zhang Xiajing get up.”

“Is that so? Then you can call King Xiaguo over. It’s not like I want him to kneel.’

Jiang Ming felt that this servant girl was being unreasonable and immediately responded to her.

Seeing this, she hurriedly reported to Li Nanchu.

Li Nanchu was reading a memorial. When he heard the servant girl’s words, his expression s.h.i.+fted. He thought for a moment and waved his hand. He said to the servant girl, “Let Zhang Xiajing do whatever he likes. Tell me if there’s anything else.”

He did not expect Zhang Xiajing to do this for him. He was touched.

However, when the time came, he would get rid of Zhang Xiajing.

Jiang Ming secretly saw that the servant girl had left and knew who she was looking for.

When she came back, Jiang Ming smiled faintly. He said to the servant girl, “What did King Xiaguo say?”

The servant girl did not expect to be called. She was shocked and knelt down.

“It’s all my fault for offending you just now. Lord Ning Caichen, I hope you won’t be angry.”

“Why would I be angry? I suggest you kneel like him!” Jiang Ming did not like meddlesome maids and said coldly.

The servant girl did not dare to say anything more and immediately knelt down with Zhang Xiajing, complaining in her heart.

If she had known earlier, she would not have said so much.

Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan secretly gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up.

This was how they should treat this servant girl! She had to learn her lesson!
