The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

The epic battle between Grandpa Hei and Ning Qiu.

Like a thunderclap in the darkness!

In the dead of night in the capital city.

Many people were awakened.

They looked in bewilderment towards the outskirts of the city.

High above the capital city.

Two powerful energy fluctuations can be seen colliding wildly with each other.

But the battle lasted only half an hour.

Because an old man, Jiang Henian, was rushing from the direction of the capital!

When Jiang Henian appeared here.

He intervened and resolved the major battle between Grandpa Hei and Ning Qiu.

Then, when Grandpa Hei and Ning Qiu recognized the person who had been blocking them.

Both of them stopped fighting at the same time, and then gave the newcomer face.

Jiang Henian, the master of the nine-layered palace in the imperial capital!

Looking across the capital, he truly held a position second only to the emperor, above all others!

Therefore, his appearance often does not represent him as a person.

It means the old man behind him.

"Old Jiang!"

Grandpa Hei and Ning Qiu bowed to Jiang Henian in unison.

Jiang Henian maintained his usual kind smile.

"Thank you both for giving me face. Please stop fighting here."

"Regardless of the reason for your conflict, this is outside the capital city, and it's not a good thing."

"Disturbing that person's rest might not be a fault of the two of you, but disturbing the rest of the ordinary people in this capital city would be a serious offense."

Jiang Henian's voice wasn't loud, but it had the power to make people willing to listen.

The old man immediately expressed his opinion.

"Old Jiang! As long as this old dog Ning stops committing further evil deeds, I will absolutely not lay a finger on him again."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qiu's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

"Black Bull, it's one thing for you to spout nonsense in front of me, but you're also spreading rumors about me in front of Elder Jiang? Elder Jiang, please investigate carefully; this was clearly a deliberate provocation on his part!"

Old Man Hei snorted coldly and glanced at Ning Qiu.

"You deliberately placed Ye Xiao under house arrest, and you dare not admit it?"

Ning Qiu clenched his fists.

"I did not place him under house arrest!"

The old man immediately retorted angrily, "Say that again!"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

As a fellow superhuman, Ning Qiu naturally had no need to be intimidated by Old Man Hei.

The tension between the two was about to escalate again.

Jiang Henian poured water on them, immediately silencing the two people.

"Gentlemen, I am here on His orders."

"I hope you two won't make things too difficult for me."

The two of them stood to the left and right, looking in opposite directions, and fell silent.

They also used this approach to express their attitude.

Jiang Henian smiled slightly: "That's more like it."

then.

Jiang Henian turned around and looked at Ye Xiao, who was watching all this from a distance.

He stared at Ye Xiao, a smile appearing on his face.

Then he raised his hand and waved to Ye Xiao in greeting.

"Young man over there, you can come over now."

Ye Xiao looked around and realized that he was all alone.

The other person was shouting at him.

So Ye Xiao walked towards the three of them.

He walked up to Jiang Henian.

At this moment, Ye Xiao could sense Jiang Henian's presence up close.

Don't let his advanced age and full head of white hair fool you.

But their energy is in no way inferior to that of young people!

and.

Jiang Henian was able to calm down Grandpa Hei and Ning Qiu with just one sentence.

It's not because what he said makes any sense.

It's not because his level of understanding is a level higher than both of theirs!

Both Grandpa Hei and Ning Qiu are at the twelfth realm!

But Jiang Henian is a genuine human at the thirteenth realm!

The best way to get others to listen to your reasoning is with your fists!

Jiang Henian stared at Ye Xiao with a smile.

He took the initiative and asked, "Young man, do you know me?"

Ye Xiao shook his head honestly.

"I don't know him."

The old man in black chimed in, explaining, "This is Jiang Henian, Palace Master Jiang, the master of the Nine Palaces. His status in the entire capital city is second only to the emperor, above all others."

The old man had been very direct; he was practically imprinting the words "Prime Minister" directly into Ye Xiao's mind.

Ye Xiao suddenly realized what was going on and remembered the other person's identity.

He had only been in the capital for a short time, yet he had already encountered so many important figures.

Jiang Henian laughed heartily.

"Palace Master, Palace Master, it always sounds like you're a princess. I still prefer to be called Grand Secretary."

Ye Xiao, on the other side, responded.

"Grand Secretary Jiang."

Jiang Henian nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a smile in his eyes, he brought up a topic.

"Young man, what brings you to this capital city?"

This question seems unremarkable.

It is a relationship between an elder and a younger person.

However, Ye Xiao had experienced so many things before arriving in the capital city.

He had already begun to sense the treachery and cunning of the capital city, where every step was carefully planned.

No one here is a simple person.

Every seemingly simple question.

There's a hidden purpose behind it all.

"Actually, I didn't intend to come to the capital."

Ye Xiao used the most honest method to answer Jiang Henian's question.

He went to play mind games and schemes with Jiang Henian.

Even with all the memories from both lifetimes combined, Ye Xiao didn't live as long as Jiang Henian in this one.

Therefore, Ye Xiao did not intend to play mind games with the other party.

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Henian...

He continued with a chuckle, "Then how did you end up here?"

Ye Xiao replied, "You could say it was because of an accident."

"I was originally in Frostthroat, but something happened there."

"Two dragons came out from behind."

"I believe you all know what happened next."

Jiang Henian smiled and said, "Young man, you are quite honest."

Honesty is the most precious quality.

After Jiang Henian said these meaningful words...

He raised his head and gave Ning Qiu a meaningful look.

Jiang Henian withdrew his gaze.

"Although I arrived in the capital city by accident, as the saying goes, since we're already here..."

"How about we visit my magnificent palace?"

"I've heard so much about you!"

A look of surprise appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

"Grand Secretary Jiang, have you heard of me?"

Jiang Henian smiled his usual meaningful smile.

There are clearly many secrets and implications inside.

But it just leaves people to ponder.

But no one could guess the meaning behind Jiang Henian's smile.

Ye Xiao did not rush to agree.

Instead, he looked at the old man in black.

That means they are asking what the old man in black means.

Old Man Hei nodded to him and said loudly, "Ye Xiao, Elder Jiang personally invited you, are you still trying to put on airs?"

"What, do you really need Jiang Ge Lao Ba to carry you in a sedan chair to be my guest?"

These words made Jiang Henian burst into laughter.

Ye Xiao immediately understood.

I understand that I can attend this banquet.

"Then... Elder Jiang, I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

"That's more like it!"
