Chapter 387 Halidan

After all, Jiang Yimeng was once the woman his roommates had dreamed of and her posters were pasted up all over the dormitory; otherwise, he might not have recognized her because he did not habitually care about entertainment gossip.

Jiang Yimeng silently thought that this man was wondrous. “Childe Bai does have sharp eyes. This young man is really different.”

If an ordinary person suddenly saw such a national goddess superstar like her, he would show excessive admiration or become overcome with his emotions; or he would nosily ask her to take a photo with him or noisily ask for her signature.

But Ding Ning regained calmness only after a little surprise, and her observation let her believe that he was not acting but was really calm, without any evil ideas in his eyes as if she was only an ordinary person.

This was enough to prove that this young man had experienced great events. Although she was a very popular superstar, she was only an ordinary person in his eyes.

Besides that, his female partner had been calm, did not show the slightest surprise or excitement of seeing a superstar, and even had a slightly dismissive attitude toward her.

This made Jiang Yimeng feel a little inexplicably disappointed, but she had begun to think more highly of the man and woman. “This is the style of those top-class families’ children who have been used to seeing superstars.”

Purple Star Pavilion covered a very large area of more than 10,000 square meters, and on both sides of its first floor’s splendid lobby were displayed all kinds of buffet pastries, drinks, and wines.

Wearing expensive jewels, many attractively dressed ladies took graceful ladylike steps walking among the well-dressed and eloquently talking men and smiled sweetly. What a wonderful time!

Dressed in the uniform clothing, the waiters and waitresses held their trays professionally moving in the crowd to serve the rich and the noble.

Ding Ning looked at the scene curiously and was soon attracted by the rich buffet. Since he had not eaten for a whole day, now he was so hungry that his stomach began to rumble.

“Mr. Ding, Childe Bai is waiting for you on the second floor. Let me take you there, shall I?”

Jiang Yimeng did not notice that Ding Ning’s mouth was watering as he stared at an Australian lobster. With an apologetic expression, she took a look at Ding Qianlie. This meant that it was inconvenient for her to go with them.

Ding Ning looked a little unhappy, ready to speak something, but Ding Qianlie said with a smile, “Just go ahead, and I’ll talk to a few business partners.”

“Well then, I will come to you in a while.”

Since his sister had said so, Ding Ning had to say goodbye to her and followed Jiang Yimeng to go to the second floor from the spiral stairs at a corner of the lobby.

Coming to the second floor from the first, Ding Ning perceived something unusual: This place was heavily guarded, full of seriousness. Dozens of strong men in black with earphones patrolled back and forth constantly. This was a show of heavy guard.

Although he was led by Jiang Yimeng, these people still came to ask them and only let them pass after calling Childe Bai to ask for permission.

So, Ding Ning became curious. “What background does the friend whom Childe Bai spoke of have? Why does the friend behave like he confronts a formidable enemy?”

As they got closer to where Bai Qing was, Ding Ning surprisingly found that the security level was raised again, and he also met many foreign bodyguards, who looked at the two of them with alert. Although Bai Qing had called to ask these guys to let them pass, these guys still insisted on searching them with metal detectors.

Ding Ning frowned. “This is Bai Qing’s place, but these foreigners didn’t listen to his order. Who on earth is so mysterious?”

Anyway, he did not have bad intentions, so he let them check himself with an extremely cooperative attitude. Besides that, his weapons were either in the Consciousness Sea or in the Mermaid Space, and these detectors could not find them.

Bai Qing came out to welcome Ding Ning and smiled apologetically from a distance. “Sorry, brother, my friend’s identity is a little special. Please don’t mind.”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Ding Ning was still very unhappy and replied coolly, making Bai Qing feel quite embarrassed.

Jiang Yimeng had left silently because she had no right to walk on, and Bai Qing himself led Ding Ning to a deluxe suite.

In the room, there was a large bed, where a pale handsome young man with deep eye sockets and a goatee was lying.

On the sofa beside it was sitting a white man in his early 30s with brown curly hair and freckles.

At a corner of the room were standing four strong Shenzhou men wearing the suits of bodyguards, looking at him with alert.

Seeing Bai Qing take Ding Ning inside, the white man on the sofa rose to his feet and observed Ding Ning but did not speak anything, but Ding Ning had perceived some disappointment from his eyes, which disappeared instantly.

The handsome young man on the bed made great efforts to sit up and greeted Ding Ning in awkward Shenzhou language with a smile, “You are the Ding Ning whom Bai Qing spoke of, right? I am very sorry I did not go and welcome you because I am unwell.”

Ding Ning looked at him in surprise. “You are an Arabian?”

“Oh, you can tell my accent?”

The handsome man on the bed raised his eyebrows and asked in Arabic quite surprisingly.

“It’s a guess. Arabians are a little different from Shenzhou people.”

Ding Ning answered in fluent Arabic, thinking about the intention of Bai Qing who asked him to come today.

With a little surprise, Bai Qing looked at Ding Ning because he did not expect him to speak Arabic.

What he did not know was that after launching the superpower of communicating with birds and beasts, Ding Ning could easily learn any language. It was estimated that now he could basically speak every language on earth.

“Oh, Allah, you can even speak Arabic. It’s so great.”

The handsome man was a little excited and wanted to sit up, but he suddenly frowned with pain, lay down again, and smiled at Ding Ning apologetically.

Thus, Ding Ning had a very good impression of him. Compared with the white young man, this Arabian was more like a gentleman.

“Bai, is your friend so excellent as you said?”

At this time, that white young man suddenly asked in English, but the observation from his eyes decreased a bit.

“Do you have other ways?”

Bai Qing looked at the white young man a little unhappily and said in English, “Ding Ning is my friend, but your behavior disappoints me so much. This is not what a gentleman should do.”

“Sorry, because I care about the situation too much, and mainly because your friend is too young. As far as I know, a traditional Chinese physician seems more excellent in medical skills when he is older.”

The white young man shrugged and answered sincerely.

“Believe me; he is not less able than those old traditional Chinese physicians. If anyone can help you in Shenzhou Country, I’m afraid this person is only this friend of mine.”

Bai Qing patted the white young man on the shoulder. “You should apologize to my friend for your rudeness.”

“Okay, as long as your friend can cure Halidan, I’d love to apologize to him.”

Obviously, the white young man did not trust Ding Ning and said very indirectly.

“Childe Bai, what is going on?”

Ding Ning had faintly guessed it, but he still wanted to confirm it.

“Let me introduce him first!”

Bai Qing took Ding Ning to the sofa, gave him a glass of red wine, and introduced, “The man on the bed is Halidan, the crown prince of Alianqiu, and the only seven-star hotel on earth is his family’s business.”

Halidan winked at Ding Ning and smiled cheerfully. “I’m glad to meet you.”

“Hello, Prince Halidan, me too. Nice to meet you.”

Ding Ning was shocked and suddenly understood the situation. “No wonder the security check outside is so strict.”

Alianqiu was a union country consisting of seven Alabo tribes, but its status in the world is not low. After all, it was an extremely wealthy country rich in oil.

So, it was understandable for Crown Prince Halidan’s men to have ignored Bai Qing’s words and insisted on searching Ding Ning because they wanted to protect their prince.

“This is Hengli, the Prince of Yingjili!”

Bai Qing turned around and introduced that white young man to him.

“Hengli, the prince of Yingjili?” Ding Ning was startled. The prince was not a crown prince and seemed not as important as Crown Prince Halidan, but this was not true.

The truth was that Yingjili was one of five permanent members of Lianheguo, but Alianqiu was only a small country in Zhongdong. In terms of international status, Prince Hengli is more distinguished than Halidan.

Ding Ning was shocked, but he did not show it on his face and nodded to Hengli normally.

But then he looked at Bai Qing with confusion. “Childe Bai, why didn’t the two princes go to Yan Jing when they came to Shenzhou? Why did they come to Ninghai, without news reports?”

What Ding Ning said was true. At a sensitive time of growing tension between Shenzhou and Mi Country, coming to Shenzhou with their identities was able to represent the attitudes of their countries, and news media were bound to compete for the coverage of them on large scales.

Alianqiu was easy to be dealt with because it had been unfriendly with Mi Country, but Yingjili was different. This country had been serving as Mi Country’s “younger brother”, beating the drum for it. Although the two nations were not as close as before, Prince Hengli’s coming to Shenzhou at the sensitive time would stir the imagination of the public.

Bai Qing gave a wry smile. “Brother, the truth is that this time they came to Shenzhou secretly in the name of a business mission…”

As Bai Qing explained it, Ding Ning gradually understood. The story was that Bai Qing once studied in Yingjili and lived in the same dormitory with Prince Halidan and Prince Hengli, and they had built very good relationships and also kept in touch after graduation.

This time they came to Shenzhou in the name of Alianqiu Business Mission because of an awkward situation: Prince Halidan had a strange disease, of which his local hospital could not find the cause, so he asked Prince Hengli for help.

Prince Hengli asked the Chief Royal Doctor of Yingjili Royal Family to examine him, but the doctor could not find the cause, and then he gathered countless top doctors from around the world to discuss it, but the diagnosis was completely the same: Halidan was not sick.

However, Halidan insisted that he was sick and his disease was still rapidly worsening, giving him unbearable pain.

Without solutions, Prince Hengli suddenly thought of the traditional Chinese physician whom Bai Qing had just met but highly spoken of when they chatted on the phone some time ago, so he came up with the idea and volunteered to accompany Halidan to Shenzhou for treatment on a secret trip.

Of course, the prince’s trips were always not casual, especially at the sensitive time, so he came to Shenzhou with another mission: He came to prepare the birthday gift for Yingjili’s Queen Yilishabai the Second who would be 93 in April next year, hoping to pay a high price to ask the Master of the Divine Burin to carve an ingenious birthday gift himself for her.

After learning all the details of the matter, Ding Ning had an extremely weird expression and looked at Bai Qing’s slightly apologetic smile, knowing that this guy must have guaranteed that he would help him find the Master of the Divine Burin.

In this world, apart from Murong Yanran, he was afraid that only Bai Qing knew he was the Master of the Divine Burin. After all, he swapped a villa with a jade ornament. Even if Bai Qing had not asked him about that, he would have guessed his identity.

Ding Ning was a little unhappy because he felt that Bai Qing had played a trick on him, but when he thought that this guy knew he was the Master of the Divine Burin but had not exposed his identity, he became satisfied with him.
