As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

719 The Arrival of King Liang

After a while, Xu Yuanchan started coughing. Although she did not wake up, her complexion had improved.

Jiang Ming tested her breathing. Xu Yuanchan’s breathing had started to become steady, and it was not as weak as before.

He heaved a sigh of relief and went outside to let Liang Sisi and the others in.

Liang Sisi could not wait any longer. When she heard Jiang Ming’s words, she rushed into the room without even looking at Jiang Ming.

When Liang Sisi found that Xu Yuanchan’s condition was much better, she could not help but feel happy. She rushed out and thanked Jiang Ming repeatedly. “Lord Ning Caichen, thank you so much. Yuanchan’s condition is finally under control.”

As she spoke, her tears flowed out.

Jiang Ming could tell that Liang Sisi loved Xu Yuanchan, so he comforted Liang Sisi. “As long as she rests a little more, she will be able to fully recover.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

Liang Sisi was so happy that she could not speak and kept nodding.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from outside the door, “His Majesty has arrived!”

Everyone could not help but look at each other in confusion.

Why was King Liang here?

Just as everyone was thinking about the reason why, King Liang had already walked out. His entire body exuded a dignified aura.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Lord Ning Caichen so close to my daughter.”

King Liang stroked his beard and smiled at Jiang Ming before turning to look at the second princess, Liang Sisi.

His tone seemed calm, but there was also a hint of dominance in it. He seemed to be simultaneously happy and unhappy.

“King Liang, you flatter me. I only just met the second princess.”

Jiang Ming looked at King Liang in front of him. He did not feel nervous, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Why did King Liang look so murderous? Was he that protective of his daughter?

Was there a need for him to be so authoritative?

King Liang suddenly laughed and looked at Jiang Ming. He snorted coldly. “My second daughter never talks to anyone casually. This is quite strange.”

Zhu An’an immediately opened her mouth and bluntly retorted, “Lord Ning Caichen is pursued by tens of thousands of people. He doesn’t need the second princess. Please don’t think of Lord Ning Caichen that way, King Liang.”

She originally wanted to address him the way she usually did, but when she thought about how they were in front of King Liang, she did not dare to address him so intimately.

“Father! Don’t say that!”

Liang Sisi could tell that her father was unhappy and quickly went forward to hug King Liang’s arm. She smiled and said, “Lord Ning Caichen has helped me a lot. If it wasn’t for Lord Ning Caichen, I wouldn’t have been able to learn so many things.”

Seeing that Liang Sisi was not lying, King Liang’s expression eased a little, but it was still unpleasant. He looked at Ning Caichen with displeasure.

“Lord Ning Caichen, I will welcome the foreign envoys later and hold a banquet. Please come too.”

Although he said that he was inviting him, it was obvious that he was looking down on him.

Jiang Ming rejected him directly. “No thank you. This is for your foreign envoys. Why should I attend?”

In his heart, Jiang Ming did not like King Liang.

He was not a lamb that could be slaughtered. He wanted to be spoken to with respect.

If King Liang’s attitude toward him was this bad now, what would happen at the banquet?

He did not mind letting King Liang, who had never suffered before and lived in luxury all day, suffer. He did not mind letting him know the taste of his own medicine.

However, King Liang did not guess Jiang Ming’s thoughts at all. Instead, he was still showing off. He bared his teeth and said, “I can’t accept that. The food I prepared is very exquisite. If you miss it, it will be a pity. Why don’t you attend, Lord Ning Caichen? I will definitely treat you well. After all, this is the first time I’ve seen my second daughter praise someone like this. I wish to keep you here, Lord Ning Caichen.”

In the end, King Liang clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi’s intimacy. He was eager to kill Jiang Ming.

Madman Junior understood the underlying meaning of King Liang’s words and immediately said, “Your Highness, why do you say that? Lord Ning Caichen can get everything he wants easily. Why does he need to participate in this banquet?”

Liang Sisi did not want Jiang Ming to be put in a difficult position by her father, so she immediately said, “Father, Lord Ning Caichen’s medical skills are superb. He’s really a rare talent. I think it’s better to hold a banquet for Lord Ning Caichen so that all the ministers can get to know him.”

Liang Sisi’s intentions were good, and her attitude was also very good. This reduced Jiang Ming’s resentment.

Jiang Ming had thought it through clearly. If King Liang’s attitude toward him changed, he would temporarily forgive King Liang on account of Liang Sisi’s attitude.

Yue Ya listened from the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Not to mention anything else, when she was in the carriage, she saw the ruthlessness and determination of Lord Ning Caichen when he threw the silver needles.

At that time, who knew what would happen if King Liang’s attitude continued to be bad? At that time, King Liang would not be able to survive!

She hoped that when Lord Ning Caichen got angry, he would not vent his anger on her and Second Princess Liang Sisi.

Unexpectedly, King Liang was completely unable to understand the situation, nor did he understand why his second daughter was so biased towards an outsider. He immediately said with a bit of anger, “I want Lord Ning Caichen to attend this banquet. As for holding a special banquet for him, I don’t think Lord Ning Caichen needs it. Isn’t Lord Ning Caichen skilled in medicine? There shouldn’t be a lack of patients in these banquets. Do I still need to hold a banquet specifically for Lord Ning Caichen?”

King Liang’s words were sarcastic. It was obvious that he wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Ming at the banquet later.

The princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom stepped forward. “Your Majesty, I’m sure you know who I am. If you want to make things difficult for Lord Ning Caichen, you have to first take a look at where the Qingmiao Kingdom stands!”

Just now, King Liang did not notice the princess. Now that he saw her, he could not believe his eyes. “Princess? This… How is this possible?”

Toward the end, King Liang started to stutter. His eyes were filled with envy.

He could not even earn the respect of the Qingmiao Kingdom. How did Ning Caichen do it?
