Liu Ming looked around. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came in at this moment.
"You must be Liu Ming, Liu. I am the shopkeeper of Jiayuan Restaurant."
Not far away, a slightly plump middle-aged man in a white robe greeted him with a face full of smiles.
When the green-robed waiter saw the middle-aged man walk over, he hurriedly bowed and retreated to the side.
"This Liu is an honored guest of this restaurant. You may leave, I will greet him." The plump middle-aged man waved his hand at the green-robed waiter and instructed.
The green-robed waiter repeatedly agreed and immediately retreated. However, when he left, he curiously glanced at Liu Ming a few times.
"You are?" Liu Ming glanced at the plump middle-aged man. This person was also at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but only at the early stage.
However, the shopkeeper of a restaurant was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. One could imagine the power of this restaurant.
"Haha, I am Bai Rui. Liu, there is no need to ask too much. Please follow me." The plump middle-aged man chuckled and immediately turned to walk upstairs.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and immediately followed.
After a while, the two of them arrived in front of a private room on the fifth floor.
"Liu, this is the place. Please come in." The plump middle-aged man said as he pushed open the door to the private room. However, he stood with his hands by his side and did not enter. He did not even dare to look inside.
"Thank you for your trouble." Liu Ming nodded to the plump middle-aged man, let out a light breath, and walked in.
The plump middle-aged man waited for Liu Ming to enter before he reached out and closed the door, sighing softly.
The distinguished guest who reserved this room was an existence that even the behind-the-scenes boss of Jiayuan Restaurant had to curry favor with. It was a pity that he did not have the opportunity to speak with him. Otherwise, his status in Jiayuan Restaurant would immediately rise by a lot.
The plump middle-aged man shook his head regretfully and turned to walk downstairs. In his heart, he was also a little curious about the identity of Liu Ming. He did not know where he came from to be able to make the owner of the room invite him to a banquet.
At this moment, Liu Ming was in a small independent garden.
This was the private room on the fifth floor. It seemed to be quite spacious. Not only were there green trees and red flowers, but there were also rockery and flowing water.
Being in such a situation, his mood couldn't help but become much more relaxed and tranquil.
With such a state of mind, Liu Ming casually walked along the only small path. Not long after, a hexagonal pavilion hidden among the flowers appeared in front of him.
Huangfu Yupo and Zhao Qianying were sitting around the table with a simple meal and wine in the gazebo.
Huangfu Yupo was still dressed in white, but the veil on his face had been removed.
Zhao Qianying, on the other hand, had changed into an aqua-green dress, accentuating her slender waist and snow-white neck. Her beautiful hair was tied into two ring-shaped buns. Compared to when she was on the high platform in the Imperial Palace that morning, she looked even more otherworldly.
"Liu Ming, you're late." When Huangfu Yupo heard the footsteps, she turned to look at him and said with a faint smile.
"I hope Elder Huangfu and Miss Zhao can forgive me. I was delayed by some private matters just now, so I'm indeed late." Liu Ming's eyes quickly swept across Zhao Qianying's body, and his eyes flashed with amazement. He then cupped his hands towards Huangfu Yupo and said.
"Since it's something, then let's not bother about it. Have a seat, these dishes were specially chosen by Ying 'er for you. " Huangfu Yupo saw the strange look in Liu Ming's eyes. She revealed a faint smile and said in a seemingly casual manner.
Zhao Qianying's pretty face blushed. She looked at Huangfu Yupo coquettishly, but did not say anything.
Liu Ming sighed in his heart and sat opposite Zhao Qianying.
"Eh, the aura on your body seems to have changed a lot compared to ten years ago." Huangfu Yupo suddenly looked up and down at Liu Ming and said with some surprise.
Liu Ming smiled and said vaguely, "I've been practicing a secret technique for the past few years. As a result, the Fa Li in my body has started to develop in the direction of Yin."
He sighed in his heart. The reason why he was late today was because he realized that after the jade talisman entered his body, it was like maggots in the tarsal bones, and it had fused into the depths of his meridians.
He tried his best, but he could not remove it.
However, the Yin Fa Li transformed from the jade talisman did not seem to be harmful to his body. He could find a way to remove it in the future, so he was not too worried.
"Fa Li has turned Yin? That's strange. Do you need me to help you take a look? "Huangfu Yupo's eyes flashed as she said.
"I don't dare to trouble Elder Huangfu. This should be because I haven't grasped the essence of the secret technique. As long as I stop practicing this technique, I believe that my Fa Li will soon return to its original state." Liu Ming secretly scolded himself for being stupid, but his face did not change as he said this.
He did not dare to let Huangfu Yupo examine him. If his lie was exposed and his identity as a human was exposed, it would not be a joke.
Huangfu Yupo glanced at Liu Ming, and his eyes flickered slightly, which shocked Liu Ming.
"If that's the case, then I won't do anything else." Huangfu Yupo said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Liu Ming secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"By the way, I'm sure you know why I invited you here today." Huangfu Yupo changed the topic and said.
Liu Ming's expression changed. He glanced at Zhao Qianying who was beside him, and she happened to look at him too.
When their eyes met, Zhao Qianying seemed to be a little shy, and she quickly looked away.
"Elder Huangfu, I'm naturally aware of what you want to say, but forgive me for being straightforward. Miss Zhao is the beloved daughter of the current Demon King. I've also heard that His Majesty the Demon King dotes on her a lot. I'm just an unknown Clan Master of a second-rate or third-rate family. There's a huge gap between our statuses. I'm afraid … "Liu Ming pondered for a moment before he finally spoke with a calm expression.
Hearing this, Zhao Qianying's shy expression suddenly turned gloomy, and her pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Huangfu Yupo's expression was also a little unpleasant.
Although Liu Ming did not say it explicitly, his intention of rejecting her was expressed tactfully.
"Master, I suddenly remembered that there's something I need to deal with. I'll take my leave first." Zhao Qianying suddenly stood up, and there was no trace of her previous dignified demeanor. She glanced coldly at Liu Ming, turned around, and walked into the private room.
When Liu Ming saw this, a trace of a complicated expression flashed across his eyes. However, it was inappropriate for him to say anything under the circumstances.
Huangfu Yupo frowned and was about to say something, but Zhao Qianying's figure disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
In the small pavilion, there were only two people sitting opposite each other.
"Master Liu, I didn't expect you to be so resistant to this marriage. Is it because I don't like Ying 'er?" Huangfu Yupo stared at Liu Ming, and his tone became extremely cold.
"How would I dare? I'm the one who feels that I'm not worthy of Miss Zhao." Liu Ming sighed and said so.
"Hmph! There's no point in saying such evasive words. Liu Ming, do you know that I haven't told His Majesty the Demon King about this? If His Majesty knows about this, I believe you know what the consequences will be, given your attitude. "Huangfu Yupo said coldly.
Liu Ming frowned and his face darkened.
The HuangFu Clan was so powerful that it could be said that there was nothing they couldn't do in the Myriad Demon Continent. Listening to Mo Tian's words, Huangfu Yong seemed to have one foot in the Eternal Life Realm.
With Liu Ming's current strength, he might be able to fight against Mystic Enlightening Realm experts, but before reaching the Eternal Life Realm, he was just an ant-like existence.
"It's not that I'm unreasonable, but I've said it before. I have a few other female confidantes, and they're all very kind to me. If you want me to abandon them and join the HuangFu Clan, please forgive me for not being able to agree." Liu Ming thought for a moment and shook his head firmly.
Although he said so, it was only one aspect of it.
On the other hand, he was a human after all. This matter could be concealed for a while, but it couldn't be concealed forever. If he really became the son-in-law, with the HuangFu Clan's means and foundation, it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed. At that time, his life and death would be beyond his control.
In addition, the HuangFu Clan's main target was the Liu Clan, so they wouldn't put too much effort on him.
After Liu Ming finished speaking, he looked at Huangfu Yupo and secretly condensed the magic power in his body to prevent Huangfu Yupo from making a sudden move.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Yupo didn't reveal an angry expression at this moment, and the indifference on his face gradually faded. He glanced at Liu Ming with a strange look in his eyes, and then he shifted his gaze and looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.
Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a little strange, but after waiting for a moment, Huangfu Yupo still didn't say anything.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." After thinking quickly, he suddenly stood up and said to Huangfu Yupo with cupped hands.
Since he had already offended the HuangFu Clan, he planned to immediately leave the central imperial city with Qing Yu and the others after leaving the Jia Yuan Restaurant.
As for the ceremony of the Demon Emperor's successor tomorrow, he naturally wouldn't go.
"You want to leave just like that? Do you think there's no one in my HuangFu Clan?" Huangfu Yupo suddenly turned around and flicked his sleeve without any warning.
Swoosh.
A white flying sword that was a foot long shot out from his sleeve. With a tremble, it turned into a scorching white light that was several feet long. As if it had teleported, it arrived in front of Liu Ming in the blink of an eye and slashed down.
Liu Ming was already secretly on guard. With a flick of his sleeve, an earthy yellow light suddenly rose in front of him. It was a Mountain River Pearl that blocked the white sword light.
"Dang!" A loud sound rang out!
The white sword light slashed on the Mountain River Pearl and was immediately shaken off. The yellow light on the surface of the Mountain River Pearl only trembled for a while, but soon after, it was as if nothing had happened.
Huangfu Yupo's expression changed slightly, as if he didn't expect Liu Ming to be able to withstand his attack. However, he immediately waved one hand and white light flashed in his sleeve. Suddenly, eight identical sword lights flew out.
Including the previous flying sword, nine flying swords flew up and down. They seemed to be disorderly, but in fact, there was a hidden mystery.
