918 Teasing
Li Nanping could not help but feel even more frustrated.
“Aren’t you going to help me?”
Jiang Ming and the others were not moved at all. They just stood there and watched him make a fool of himself.
Li Nanping was furious that no one had come to help him. He immediately felt that it was Ning Caichen’s doing.
He immediately glared at Jiang Ming. “Don’t play tricks. Let’s fight each other like men!”
“You couldn’t beat me by playing dirty, but now you want to beat me in a head-on fight. You’re very interesting.”
Jiang Ming sneered.
Li Nanping’s hostility instantly decreased, and he instantly became angry.
When he heard his brother talking about how powerful Ning Caichen was, he thought that it was just a lie. He did not expect Jiang Ming to be that powerful.
He could not even get up now.
“A real man would still face me.”
He tried to find a sentence that would lean toward him.
Jiang Ming said coldly, “You don’t have to say this. It’s fine if you want to fight me one-on-one. As long as you can get up, of course. How can you fight if you can’t?”
Yuan Hehe giggled.
“I think it’s better for you not to be the regent. You might as well let someone else be the regent. Your strength is not enough to make people respect you.”
“How can you insult my reputation as the regent?”
Li Nanping was enraged, but he still could not get up at all. However, he had other thoughts.
He looked at Jiang Ming and secretly sent out a dragon, which he had created with an illusion.
The dragon was very stealthy. It slowly moved toward Jiang Ming, trying to wrap Jiang Ming’s body up.
However, Jiang Ming was one step ahead of the dragon and was waiting for it to come over.
The moment it came over, he splashed the tea on the dragon.
He had even added spiritual energy to the tea. The moment he used this spiritual energy, the dragon instantly disappeared.
“How can you break through my spiritual energy?”
Li Nanping paused, his hands trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with envy.
This was also an ability he wanted to obtain.
Jiang Ming realized that his sensitivity was better than before, and he could not help but feel satisfied.
It seemed that the hot spring was not that useless after all.
“Didn’t you say that I used a dirty trick? Isn’t this the same move you’re using now? Is this what a real man does?”
Sikong Wuyuan sat down and continued drinking his tea.
“I think you should leave. Don’t embarra.s.s yourself here. If you can’t beat Jiang Ming, then you just can’t. Moreover, you’re looking for trouble for no reason. Aren’t you afraid that we’ll find trouble with the king?”
Yuan Hehe stood up and wrote a line of words on the paper. Then, he rolled up the paper and threw it in front of Li Nanping.
“You can give this paper to that stupid king. I believe he will know who to side with.”
Li Nanping was stunned for a moment. He wanted to open the paper but was stopped by Yuan Hehe.
“This isn’t something you should see. I believe that useless king wouldn’t want you to see it. You should respect your useless king.”
“Don’t keep calling him a useless king. The king doesn’t owe you anything, and he has never done anything to harm you. You should stop trying to insult him.”
Li Nanping snapped at Yuan Hehe.
“The name I want to call him has nothing to do with you. He is a useless king!”
Yuan Hehe rolled his eyes and splashed the tea on Li Nanping.
He felt that Li Nanping should be punished. He was too arrogant.
Li Nanping’s hair was already wet. The anger in his heart had reached its peak, but he could not say anything.
He was a little uneasy now.
What happened now was not something he could have expected, and he did not have the ability to convince Jiang Ming.
After thinking for a moment, he could only grit his teeth.
Although he was unwilling to be humiliated, there was nothing he could do now.
“Lord Ning Caichen, it was all my fault just now. Please forgive me. I’ll go back and report to the king now.”
“You’re a wise man who knows how to adapt to the times. You look similar to that useless king. Are you two actually brothers?”
Jiang Ming laughed and found it interesting.
Li Nanping immediately felt even more humiliated. He forced a smile and said, “That’s true. We are brothers. He is the older brother, and I am the younger brother. Lord Ning Caichen, please let me go on account of how we’ve treated you.”
He said the last sentence very softly, but Jiang Ming caught it.
“Speak louder. I can’t hear you.” Jiang Ming smiled.
Li Nanping gritted his teeth and said the last sentence loudly.
“Alright, you can leave.”
Jiang Ming secretly took back the silver needles and put them in his pocket.
Li Nanping still did not know what had tripped him, but he felt that he could get up.
So, he tried to get up and found that he could indeed walk. He could not help but be happy.
However, he did not want to thank Jiang Ming. He just pretended to thank him and then left for his brother’s palace.
Li Nanchu was lying down. When she saw Li Nanping, he could not help but ask, “What happened to Ning Caichen?”
He felt that with his brother’s strength, he should be able to make Ning Caichen beg for mercy.
However, Li Nanping did not give him a positive answer.
“I couldn’t defeat Ning Caichen at all. I’m really sorry, Your Majesty.”
” Alright, we are brothers. I know that Ning Caichen is not easy to fight. Besides, he has the power of the hot spring. I think we might as well wait until night and attack when they are asleep.”
Li Nanchu placed a round plate in Li Nanping’s hand.
“This thing can absorb the spiritual energy of the hot spring. It might even absorb all of Ning Caichen’s abilities. No matter what, we must complete the mission.”
“Yes.”
Li Nanping took the disc and became determined.
Li Nanchu felt relieved, but there was a hint of antic.i.p.ation in his heart.
On Jiang Ming’s side, he knew that Li Nanping would not let them go, so he immediately discussed countermeasures with the others.
According to their premonitions, they felt that Li Nanping and that useless king would come at night, so they planned to wait until night.
The child suddenly received a piece of news.
The Moonlight Gala was supposed to be held in the afternoon.
Jiang Ming decided to go.
It would be a waste not to take such an opportunity.
Besides, it would be useful for them if they went.
The child brought Jiang Ming and the others out of the door and headed toward the venue of the moonlight banquet, the Yihe Hall.
