Chapter 1901 - 1466-1467: Rumors Abound! The Regent King’s Game!_2

The three of them all felt their breathing difficult, almost unable to stand steady.

After quite a while, they slowly caught their breath, all drenched in cold sweat as if just fished out from the water. They were even unaware of when Jiang Dali moved his gaze away, only able to blankly stare at the disappearing silhouette at the end of the street, exchanging bewildered looks.

"The one who just transmitted the voice to us..."

"It was him, Marquis Wei Wu."

"Alas. Trouble comes from the mouth; we were just discussing him and he noticed. What do we do now?"

"What can we do, just comply obediently. Do you still think you can escape?"

...

Thirty minutes later.

Jiang Dali, as he wished, stood at the luxurious entrance of the He Residence, akin to a large manor, meeting He Jin, renowned in the Holy Dynasty as Jin Wudi.

The He Family Master, wealthy enough to rival nations, appeared to be around forty, sporting short, razor-straight beard on his chin. Majestic and dignified, his aura was imposing. Though seemingly affluent and corpulent, he surprisingly exuded a solid, vigorous contradictory impression. Seeing Jiang Dali, he enthusiastically greeted him like an old friend without pretensions, showcasing great charisma.

At this moment, numerous dignitaries were arriving at the entrance of the He Family, cars and people continuously coming.

But He Jin seemed to notice Jiang Dali’s dislike for formalities instantly, not introducing anyone, casually pulling Jiang Dali along, chatting while walking into the mansion.

The main dwelling’s sprawling back garden was adorned with lanterns everywhere.

Even though it was daytime, it had a unique appeal.

Many servants and guests respectfully paid attention to Jiang Dali, who was conversing with He Jin, wisely refraining from approaching to chat.

Jiang Dali felt at ease with He Jin’s outstanding hospitality, inwardly acknowledging him as the Emperor among merchants. Just this perfect hospitality alone showcased his adeptness, not giving any impression of slickness.

Following the host’s lead, he changed into clean attire, replacing the treasure armor gifted by He Mao, which could withstand Qilin Fire. Jiang Dali symbolically attended the welcoming banquet with He Jin and later agreed to meet this Boss He in the study.

The surroundings of the study were shaded by trees, tranquil and deserted.

On the surface, there were four teams of He Family experts patrolling each corridor to prevent any disturbances.

Inside the study, He Jin wore informal attire, gesturing for Jiang Dali and the Dragon Cloud Mansion’s Lord, dressed in black with Eight Characters mustache, to sit, then smilingly clapped his hands.

Immediately, two men and one woman were ushered in by two robust guards.

Jiang Dali had already sensed the breath of these three Heavenly Persons he saw on the street during the day; he was not surprised to see they arrived as expected.

He Jin twirled the ring on his finger, smilingly said, "Marquis, your insight is truly impressive. These three originally came to Dragon Cloud Mansion for other matters, but during the journey, they gossiped and slandered. Marquis, you were quick to pull them out; how do you plan to deal with these three?"

Upon hearing this, the two men and one woman turned pale with fright, their gaze towards Jiang Dali revealing a hint of plea.

Roaming the Martial World, they were seen by others as formidable Heavenly Experts, guests of various sects, holding some fame. But facing Jiang Dali and others, they knew they had no chance to resist, not even daring to think of escaping.

Jiang Dali smiled faintly at the three, saying, "Mr. He, I summoned them here just to hear from them about the rumors on other cities related to my slander. But now, it seems you know even more than them.

So, let them go. Listening to you, Mr. He, will be sufficient."

Upon hearing this, the bitterness on the faces of the two men and one woman deepened.

Letting them go is indeed good news, but also bad news. Not questioning them before letting them go signifies they hold no value. People of no value who know too much, isn’t that a sorrowful thing?

"I... I have some news, maybe Mr. He doesn’t know yet."

One of the women, with triangular eyes, nervously stammered.

"Oh?"

He Jin raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

The woman stared at Jiang Dali, divulging every piece of information she had.

"We came from Lanhe City in Yu Province, just three days ago. Back then, in Lanhe City, people were everywhere discussing... discussing you, Marquis, coming out from the Sky. At first, many didn’t believe it, but as the rumors spread more and more, other nearby cities also took notice, thus gradually some started believing."

"We didn’t pay much attention at first. But when we quietly left Lanhe City, we unexpectedly found a group plotting against Marquis you. Among them were experts; we didn’t dare to approach, just vaguely heard ’Master Lu’, ’Lu Family’ mentioned..."

"Lu Family!"

The Lord of Dragon Cloud Mansion squinted his eyes beside them, exchanging a look with He Jin, slightly nodding, demonstrating their profound friendship and close relationship. No wonder the rumors said the Lords of Dragon Cloud Mansion throughout generations were influenced and supported to power by the He Family.

"Lu Family!"

A question mark also arose in Jiang Dali’s mind.

Among the Six Great Families of the Holy Dynasty, it seems there’s no Lu Family.

Among his enemies, there appears to be no Master Lu, either.

But he had already confirmed these three Heavenly Persons were not lying.

"Alright, you all may leave. But for this next month, stay within Dragon Cloud Mansion, don’t go anywhere. All expenses will be covered by my He Family. Remember, don’t speak recklessly after leaving."
