915 Falling Out
The child quickly shook his head and said, “I didn’t send the signal. You all saw it too. I was saved by Lord Ning Caichen. I am Lord Ning Caichen’s servant now. If I bite the hand that feeds me, it will be over.”
After thinking about it, it made sense.
They simply continued to lie in ambush.
On the other hand, Li Nanchu seemed to have noticed something was amiss, but at the same time, it seemed as if he had not. When he heard Jiang Ming’s words, he did not continue asking. Instead, he continued drinking his tea.
Then, he called the servant over and brought some special tea leaves to brew for Jiang Ming.
The two of them chatted for a while and then moved on to the main topic.
“This hot spring was dug by me. I soak in it for a while every single day, and I feel very good. Lord Ning Caichen, you can soak in it for a while longer.”
Li Nanchu pretended to be kind as he spoke. Then, he took off his clothes and went straight to the hot spring. He had another plan in mind.
He was already used to the hot spring, but it was Ning Caichen’s first time in the hot spring, so he might slip and fall.
When the time came, he would pretend not to see or pretend to look for someone. Then, Ning Caichen would die.
He felt that Ning Caichen was a threat that he had to get rid of.
However, nothing happened to Jiang Ming when he entered the hot spring. Instead, he continued to soak in it comfortably.
Li Nanchu was dumbfounded and asked awkwardly, “How do you feel? Do you feel comfortable?”
He tried his best to gauge Jiang Ming’s expressions, but Jiang Ming did not feel any discomfort at all.
“I think this hot spring is not bad.”
With the power of the immortal seashell, he felt the spiritual energy in the hot spring continuously accumulate in his body, making his whole body feel comfortable.
Li Nanchu refused to give up. “If you’re feeling unwell. feel free to tell me. Don’t force yourself to stay. To be honest, although this hot spring is comfortable to me, it might not be comfortable to other people.”
“Are you implying that I can’t resist the power of this hot spring?”
Jiang Ming deliberately teased Li Nanchu.
“How could that be?” Li Nanchu asked in a panic. “Lord Ning Caichen, feel free to soak here. I’m just afraid that something might happen to you.”
“Alright then.”
Jiang Ming looked at Li Nanchu meaningfully.
Li Nanchu’s heart skipped a beat. He smiled awkwardly and did not say anything else. After that, there was silence.
Li Nanchu soaked in the water peacefully and kept observing Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming felt Li Nanchu’s gaze, but he did not say anything. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the hot spring.
He felt that his spiritual energy was getting stronger.
After a while, Li Nanchu asked about Jiang Ming’s condition.
Seeing that Jiang Ming was still feeling comfortable, he could not help but feel strange.
The first time he went to the hot spring, he was not as relaxed as Ning Caichen. Could it be that there was something wrong with his body?
However, this was impossible. Before he invited Ning Caichen and the others, he had asked his servants to try the hot spring countless times.
After a while, these servants ended up either injured or dead.
What surprised Li Nanchu even more was the other people around Jiang Ming. They seemed to be the same as Jiang Ming and did not feel anything. They were still normal.
Li Nanchu could not help but feel frustrated.
He could understand why Ning Caichen could withstand the spiritual energy of the hot spring, but why could his friends withstand the hot spring? Was he really weak?
He had been cultivating non-stop. Logically speaking, he should not be inferior to Ning Caichen’s friends!
Jiang Ming opened his eyes and noticed Li Nanchu’s emotions. He could not help but smile.
“What are you thinking about? You seem a little unhappy. Is there something troubling you? Perhaps you can tell me.”
Li Nanchu pretended to find an excuse. “I’m just thinking about some business matters. I’m planning to deal with them properly now. I can’t run away anymore.”
“It’s good that you’re not running away. I hope it’s nothing else. Lord Li Nanchu, you have to think about things seriously. Some things are not that simple, especially murder.”
Li Nanchu’s heart skipped when Jiang Ming said the last few words.
“How could I kill someone just like that?” he said with a grin. “I will only kill those who have offended me, but I won’t kill those who treat me well, like you. You’re so good to me. I’d never fight you in my life.”
“Who knows?” Jiang Ming swam to a corner and continued, “Some people are such ingrates.”
Li Nanchu exhaled and changed the topic.
“I wonder if you have seen the bottom of this hot spring. There is a lot of spiritual energy at the bottom of the water. You can come and take a look.”
As he spoke, he swam down. Jiang Ming followed him down, but Li Nanchu took advantage of this.
Li Nanchu took advantage of Jiang Ming’s movements and quickly stepped forward to press his head down, not wanting him to come out.
He knew that this opportunity was very rare. If he lost this opportunity, it would be very difficult to get another one.
Jiang Ming felt that someone was pressing his head, obviously wanting him to drown.
He did not need to think to know who this person was.
In order to prevent Jiang Ming’s friends from attacking him, Li Nanchu had set up a barrier around the hot spring. However, the barrier was only strong enough to keep the illusions away.
Sikong Wuyuan and the other two quickly stepped forward and pulled Li Nanchu away when they saw his actions.
Li Nanchu suddenly found it strange.
“Weren’t you trapped? Why are you here?”
“We already knew about your plan. Surrender!” Sikong Wuyuan snorted coldly.
The child kicked Li Nanchu’s vital spots and punched him repeatedly.
“I think you’re asking for a beating by trying to hurt Ning Caichen,” he shouted loudly. “Ning Caichen hasn’t attacked you. Why are you treating him like this?”
Li Nanchu could not help but feel angry, and the spiritual energy in his entire body spread out.
“You brat! I spent so much energy feeding you, and now you’re actually biting the hand that feeds you. I think I’d better get rid of you first.”
He shook his fist once, shaking Sikong Wuyuan and the others away.
Jiang Ming had also escaped Li Nanchu’s control. The moment Li Nanchu approached the child, he kicked the child away.
Li Nanchu’s head hit a rock, but he immediately placed his hand on the wound. The wound immediately healed.
“Since we’ve already shed all pretenses of cordiality, I don’t have to be polite anymore.”
Li Nanchu rushed over without any fear.
The hot spring had given him a lot of strength. He did not believe that he could not defeat Ning Caichen!
Even if Ning Caichen had soaked in it once, it did not matter! He still could not beat him!
