The effect of the Stray Path had always been to choose, and not "create choices."
He could not use his divine power to make others make choices that he would not make.
Maybe after the seed of the divine power bloomed, the Stray Path would have a better performance. But at least for now, it could only be so.
Jiang Wang had misjudged Feng Ming. He thought that Feng Ming would want to take him in as a "follower." But Feng Ming had been cold from beginning to end. He only treated Jiang Wang as someone he met occasionally to relieve his boredom.
He would chat with Jiang Wang, take him to "see the world," and put his arm around his shoulder. But after leaving this birthday banquet, he would not recognize Jiang Wang at all.
What Yu Songhai? What Xi Yun Sword Sect? He would not care about these mediocre people.
The wonders of the Stray Path gave Jiang Wang the illusion that he controlled fate. But Feng Ming's choice poured a bucket of cold water on him.
He didn't have enough "self-knowledge," nor did he have accurate "other views." He did not understand Feng Ming completely. Because of this, his divine power was thwarted.
At this moment, he finally understood why a terrifying person like Zhuang Chengqian would be controlled by the White Bone God because of his absolute reliance on the Stray Path divine power.
This ability really made it difficult for people to stop even if they wanted to.
He had only used it a few times, and occasionally felt that everything was in control. Zhuang Chengqian had never lost a battle in his life. He had deceived gods and ghosts. He had reason to believe in his divine power.
A sudden sense of defeat hit him head-on.
Jiang Wang did not become angry from embarrassment. He did not blame himself. At this time, he only felt lucky. Lucky that he had discovered the limits of the Stray Path at such an unimportant time, and discovered the arrogant fantasies that the Stray Path brought.
Fate did not teach him an even greater lesson that was harder to undo.
With Zhuang Chengqian's example and Feng Ming's later events, he was reminded. He reminded himself to use the Stray Path divine power with a more correct attitude.
"Yes," Jiang Wang agreed with a smile. "Brother Feng's experiences are truly spectacular. This little brother is moved. You are truly an extraordinary person who does extraordinary things! "
He lowered his attitude, and also lowered his expectations. His initial plan was just to get acquainted with Feng Ming today. There was no need to rush things.
Under Jiang Wang's deliberate pandering, the two of them naturally had a good chat.
The guests in the courtyard gradually began to leave. At their table, only Jiang Wang and Feng Ming remained.
Feng Ming was waiting for his father, while Jiang Wang was trying to protect this relationship that he had worked so hard to build. As they chatted, they were both anxious.
However, after waiting for a long time, Feng Yue still did not come out.
After a while, seeing that most of the guests had left, Feng Ming finally couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up and stopped a servant of the Marquis's Estate: "May I trouble you to ask why my father hasn't come out yet?"
The man shook his head. "I'm just a servant. I don't know who your father is, so I can't go inside."
The ominous feeling in Feng Ming's heart grew stronger and stronger. Somewhat impatiently, he passed through the banquet and walked straight into the inner room.
However, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The Steward Jiao from before looked at him expressionlessly. "What are you doing?"
"Uncle Jiao." Feng Ming didn't care whether he was humiliated or not. He lowered his head and bowed. "My father has been summoned to the inner room for a discussion. Why hasn't he come out yet?"
"Your father?" Steward Jiao said in surprise. "When did anyone summon him to the inner room?"
"It's the Marquis's Estate …" Feng Ming looked around. Where could he find the servant who had led his father in?
He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. However, he could only lower his stance and say, "Uncle, please don't joke with me. I'm just worried about my father … "
Steward Jiao had already restrained his expression. He looked at him coldly. "Who do you think you are? This old man is already so old. Do I need to joke with you? "
Something had happened to Feng Yue!
The moment he thought of this, Feng Ming's legs almost turned to jelly.
He gritted his teeth and was about to say something vicious when Jiang Wang walked behind him and pressed his shoulder.
After all, he wasn't completely brainless. After a few moments of silence, he suppressed his turbulent emotions and turned around.
Jiang Wang followed behind him. The two of them walked out of Marquis Wei Ning's Estate. No one stopped them along the way.
Marquis Wei Ning's Estate was on the outskirts of Tongyi County. After walking out of the estate, there was a well-maintained straight road that connected to the main road in the distance.
Bright lanterns were hung in front of the estate.
The moon was bright outside and the stars were shining brightly. Scattered horse carriages gradually moved away on the straight road.
After leaving the estate, Feng Ming finally couldn't hold back anymore. He fiercely punched a tree on the side of the road. "What Marquis Wei Ning's Estate? Is this a bandit's nest?! We've accepted the gift and paid for the crime, but we still detained him! "
He was extremely angry. In reality, it was also because something had happened to his father, whom he had always relied on. This caused him to lose his composure. "We didn't ask Chi Yunshan to go! It was that Jiao Xiong who insisted on going! Who's to blame now that something has happened?! Didn't Senior Chi Yue also get into trouble? Who can we blame? "
Jiang Wang followed beside him. After he vented for a while, he said, "Right now, your father has only been detained. Nothing has happened yet. Brother Feng, please calm down."
The reason was simple. If something had happened to Feng Yue, the Marquis Wei Ning's Estate wouldn't let Feng Ming leave.
Feng Ming was furious. "This old monkey, what does he want to do!"
Jiao Wu's body was indeed small and thin like a monkey, but no one would dare to call him an old monkey. At this moment, Feng Ming had lost his composure.
Jiang Wang silently adjusted his understanding of the relationship between Feng Yue and Feng Ming. He then asked, "Brother Feng, do you think that your sect will step out for this matter?"
Feng Ming also knew that being angry was useless. He took in a deep breath and tried to calm himself down before saying, "They will definitely step out. After all, my father is Zong Shou and is the face of the Green Cloud Pavilion. However, I don't know how much effort they will put in. Some people might want something to happen to my father! "
He also didn't know why he was discussing with Yu Songhai, whom he had met today. He only instinctively felt that compared to the people in the sect who were scheming against each other, Yu Songhai who he had met today was more reliable. After all, they had met by accident and wouldn't plot against each other.
"Then you can only rely on yourself." Jiang Wang said.
"Brother Yu, do you have any ideas?" After Feng Ming suppressed his emotions, his brain came back. He turned around and looked at Jiang Wang. "If you can save my father, I will recommend you into the Green Cloud Pavilion. I will guarantee your core identity! "
So you also know that I want to enter the Green Cloud Pavilion! I hinted to you during the meal and you acted dumb!
Jiang Wang cursed in his heart.
However, he also understood that there weren't many fools these days. If he didn't show his worth, why would the son of Zong Shou of the Green Cloud Pavilion be your guarantor? It was fine as long as they didn't know how to suck up to him. With Feng Ming's background, he didn't lack followers.
Jiang Wang sighed for a moment before saying with the magnanimity of a wise person, "First, we need to know why Mister Feng was detained."
"Why?" Feng Ming was really cooperative, but he was also really confused. "Isn't it to take revenge for Jiao Xiong's death?"
"That might be the reason, but it won't be the reason." Jiang Wang shook his head. "Let me ask you … a spy from the Reef Country appeared in Shun 'an Prefecture and wanted to collude with a traitor. Marquis Weining is definitely loyal to the Emperor and definitely has no other intentions. Who was the spy from the Reef Country contacting? In the entire Shun 'an Prefecture, who is worthy enough to collude with a spy from another country? Who else is worth the Reef Country's effort? "
Before and after were all the same thing. However, it was hard to see clearly for the people involved.
Feng Ming wasn't a fool, and his face instantly turned ashen white. "Our Green Cloud Pavilion!"
