I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 261 Zhuo Weisong, Mo Lan

“So you are Xu Ning?”

The cold and handsome-looking man walked to the pavilion and approached Xu Ning.

He looked at Xu Ning with a smirk on his face.

Xu Ning frowned and stood up.

“I am Xu Ning, and who are you?”

As he had just arrived, Xu Ning didn’t know much about the situation in the Harmony King Mansion.

He was being cautious.

Although this person was not friendly, now was not the time to offend him.

‘This person’s realm should be higher than mine… It is highly likely that he is a dao realm fifth stage core cleansing realm master…’

Xu Ning thought while observing this person.

“As a guest, you came to the mansion, but you dare to sit alone in this pavilion, do you think there are no rules at all? Inside this pavilion is the seat of His Highness.”

Acting as though he was a high-ranking senior, the cold-looking man was arrogant as he reprimanded Xu Ning.

Xu Ning heard him but did not answer directly.

Xu Ning was certain that this cold-looking man was deliberately targeting him, although he didn’t know how the two sides had gotten into a conflict when he had just met him for the first time.

When he was led to this garden, the servant told Xu Ning the rules of the mansion.

But there was no mention of the rule that he couldn’t sit in the pavilion and wait.

“This is my first time here, so please forgive

me.”

Xu Ning’s mouth was still polite, but his eyes were locked with the cold-looking man. His aura was no weaker than the man in front of him.

The cold-looking man snorted, as if he still wanted to reprimand Xu Ning.

But at this moment, someone else arrived.

“Zhuo Weisong, what are you doing?”

Xu Ning looked up and saw that the visitor was Zhang He, the man who was always beside Duan Chaofeng.

Zhang He was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves. He stared at the cold-looking man named Zhuo Weisong with a look of displeasure.

Zhuo Weisong frowned when he saw Zhang He. He also retracted back the attitude he was going to show Xu Ning.

“Master Zhang.”

Zhuo Weisong cupped his fists, but it seemed like he was doing it just for show.

“Xu Ning had just arrived at the mansion, so I came here to teach him the rules of the mansion.”

Zhuo Weisong glanced at Xu Ning with a hint of provocation.

“You don’t have to teach him.”

Zhang He was dissatisfied with Zhuo Weisong’s attitude. “I will teach him the rules of the mansion, there is no need to trouble you.”

“Then I’m being nosy…”

Zhuo Weisong seemed to be mocking himself. “In this case, I will take my leave.”

After that, he glanced at Xu Ning, ignored Zhang He, and left.

Zhang He watched Zhuo Weisong leave. After a long time, he snorted. “Arrogant!”

“Xu Ning.”

Zhang He turned his head and walked next to Xu Ning. His expression changed as he smiled. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Zhang He knew very well how Duan Chaofeng treated Xu Ning, so he was always friendly to Xu Ning.

“Senior Zhang He, I didn’t wait long.”

Xu Ning bowed.

He had a good impression of Zhang He.

“You didn’t bring your two demon beasts with

you?”

Zhang He asked.

“Yes, they are in an independent space.”

Xu Ning said.

The current Xu Ning had two spatial secret treasures on him. One was the Demon Beast Scroll’s bead, while the other was the Hidden Moon Bead.

И.

“Senior Zhang He…”

After chatting for a while, Xu Ning asked, “That person just now…”

“That person’s name is Zhuo Weisong. He works for His Highness.”

At the mention of Zhuo Weisong, Zhang He’s expression became serious again. “His father is a trusted subordinate of the King. The trusted subordinate’s name is Zhuo Cengyun, and he is a high-level master in the seventh stage of the dao realm. With his father’s status, whenever Zhuo Weisong is on duty with the prince, he will be arrogant, thinking that he is superior to others.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning nodded. “But I have never seen this person before, so why is he so hostile to me?”

Xu Ning did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

Zhang He smiled. “Although this is the first time you have seen him, this is not the first time he has heard of your name.”

“Oh?”

Xu Ning was puzzled. “His Highness has been talking about you in the mansion recently. Moreover, he admires your attitude. Although you haven’t been to the mansion yet, all of the trusted subordinates around His Highness know your name.” Zhang He said, “The martial arts talent you displayed, as well as your ability and efficiency, satisfied His Highness.”

“So, Zhuo Weisong hates me because of this?”

Xu Ning was amused. “That’s right.”

Zhang He said, “Over the years, His Highness has never shown this kind of attitude towards the people around him. Even before you arrived at the mansion, there were already people secretly trying to get close to you.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning was a little surprised. Unknowingly, he had become a core member of State Guqing. “Okay, let’s talk as we walk.”

Zhang He said, “I will take you to see His Highness first.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ning followed behind Zhang He.

Afterwards, Zhang He took Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng’s study. When Duan Chaofeng saw Xu Ning, his attitude was very enthusiastic.

After a brief exchange, Duan Chaofeng asked Zhang He to personally arrange accommodation for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was assigned to a side room in the prince’s villa.

It was a side room, but it was luxurious.

This was only the prince’s villa, but it was several times larger than the Cheng family mansion. Afterwards, over the next few days, Xu Ning stayed in his room and casually refined some pills for his needs to prepare for his trip to sea.

“Eh?”

After refining a furnace full of demon beast pills that would mainly be used as bait, Xu Ning suddenly realized something.

The client who asked Shi Chenghao to refine medicine for him also needed him to refine a large number of demon beast medicinal pills, including many bait pills that could lure demon beasts.

“That person must be a Master Tamer… I wonder if he will be recruited for this trip…’

Just when he was thinking, a servant came to call Xu Ning.

“Master Xu, in four hours, His Highness will hold a banquet in the banquet hall. Please remember to attend on time.”

The servant said respectfully to Xu Ning. “A banquet…”

Xu Ning nodded. “Understood.”

‘It seems that we are going out to sea in a few days.’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

This banquet was the final event before they would go out to sea.

At the same time.

State Luzhi, Promise King Mansion.

In a study, a beautiful woman in a male outfit with hair tied high was sitting on a high seat.

She exuded a strong aura and had sharp eyes. She was obviously not an ordinary person. Under her seat, there were nearly ten people sitting in two rows below her.

At the bottommost of the seats was Sect Master Cen Yumou of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and Sect Master Liang Tingang of the Green Edge Sect.

The two of them had the lowest status in the study.

“The preparations to capture the Night Beast are done. In three days, we will go out to sea.”

The woman in the male outfit said.

This person was the daughter of the Promise King, Princess Mo Lan.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The people below responded at the same time.

“After capturing the Night Beast, I will personally deliver it to the Empress. I hope everyone will do their best and not make any mistakes. After everything is done, I will definitely give everyone a generous reward.”

Although she was a woman, Princess Mo Lan’s every gesture had a more heroic aura than a man would.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

The people below responded. “By the way, if there are no accidents, our attempt to capture the Night Beast should have been exposed.”

Mo Lan glanced at everyone.

“A few days ago, I cleaned out a few spies from the mansion. Although they refused to admit their identity, I am certain that the news of the Night Beast’s appearance has been spread.”

Mo Lan said, “So, in addition to facing the risks overseas, we may also face other enemies.”

“However, don’t worry too much about this. We have made sufficient preparations and have recruited a group of highly skilled Master Tamers. With them around, our trip will be much smoother. With everyone’s support, our strength is enough to guarantee our success.”

Mo Lan said, “Also, the crew members for this trip are all disciples of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect. I have to thank the two sect masters for your efforts. After all, this trip will be quite dangerous.”

“Your Highness, you’re too kind.”

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, who were sitting at the bottom, quickly got up when they heard this. “It is our duty to share your worries, Your Highness.”

The two were very humble.

Especially Cen Yumou, after one of his sect strongholds was seized by the Swallow Heron Sect a few days ago, he was afraid that Princess Mo Lan would hear about this and reprimanded him.

But unexpectedly, Mo Lan did not blame him.

Seeing the humble posture of these two, the others in the room also showed a faint look of contempt.

They all knew that the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect were originally the forces of State Guqing.

Their humble attitude of being willing to do anything for Princess Mo Lan was because they wanted to get Mo Lan’s consent to move their sect from State Guqing to State Luzhi.

“In this case, go back and prepare.”

Mo Lan waved her hand.

Everyone in the room stood up and bowed to Mo Lan before leaving the room.

“Your Highness.” An old woman walked out from behind the screen.

This old woman had an extraordinary aura. She was a high level master in the seventh stage of the dao realm.

Generally speaking, after advancing to the dao realm, masters would adopt their younger appearances. Only a few people would allow themselves to show their old appearance. “Although the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect are obedient and useful, we can’t rely too much on them.”

The old woman persuaded, “After all, they are still the forces of State Guqing. If you keep delegating important tasks to them, the people of State Luzhi around you will be dissatisfied.”

“I know what to do.”

Princess Mo Lan said, “This trip is full of dangers. It is also a test for them. If they perform well enough, I will allow them to move into State Luzhi. In the end, there are not many people from State Luzhi who are willing to follow me. They are all my brother’s people.”

“In comparison, the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect are the truly obedient swords.”
