Shi Duanjin
Their leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and he looked like an immortal. Behind him, there were more than ten Daoist children. Although they were called Daoist children, they were actually in their thirties. Only a few of them looked like they were thirteen or fourteen years old.
They stopped in front of the Imperial Palace.
"Master Shi, you came at the right time!"
Bai Hao's eyes flashed with joy.
He immediately sneered at Ning Qi, "This is the chief alchemist of the White Tiger Alchemy Lab, Shi Duanjin. Ning Qi, since you are also an alchemist, why don't you compete with Master Shi? If you win, I'll give you the Sky Ape."
Shi Duanjin?
Ning Qi glanced at the middle-aged man and checked his attributes.
White Tiger Alchemy Lab: Shi Duanjin
Level: Seven-star Dou Huang
Cultivation Skill: Earth-class Inferno Art
Martial Skill: Earth-class Fire Dragon Whip
Alchemy: Fourth-class
Health Points: 72000
Shi Duanjin looked at Ning Qi and smiled, "Oh, you are the alchemist of the Ninth Princess's Mansion? You are indeed a talented alchemist at such a young age. No wonder even the Saint Concubine is impressed by you. Is there any misunderstanding between you and the thirteenth prince? Why don't I be the peacemaker and clear up the misunderstanding? We don't need to fight each other. "
"Master Shi, you flatter me. I'm afraid the misunderstanding between me and the thirteenth prince can't be solved with just a few words."
Ning Qi smiled.
Shi Duanjin's expression changed slightly, and his lips curled into a sneer, "If that's the case, I won't say anything else. I heard that the Saint Concubine values your alchemy skills very much. I would like to learn from you."
Bai Hao sneered and said, "Ning Qi, are you afraid? Don't you want the Sky Ape? If you win against Master Shi, I'll give it back to you. "
"What if I lose?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"It's okay if you lose. Just crawl around my palace and bark a few times."
Bai Hao smiled.
After a pause, his lips curled into a mocking smile, "What, you don't dare?"
"Okay then. What do you want to compete with me in?"
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
Shi Duanjin smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I have something important to discuss with the thirteenth prince today. How about this, tomorrow, I will invite the Sacred Concubine Cold Sky to preside over this competition. As for the competition, let the Sacred Concubine Cold Sky decide."
"Then I will wait for the good news in the Ninth Princess' residence. Thirteenth Prince, remember to bring the Sky Dominating Ape tomorrow."
Ning Qi cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Bai Hao glared at Ning Qi's back until he disappeared from his sight. Then, he looked at Shi Duanjin and asked, "Master Shi, why did you come to me?"
Shi Duanjin said, "Prince, I have already refined ten of the pills you wanted me to refine last time. Have you prepared the things I want?"
"Ten!"
A look of ecstasy appeared on Bai Hao's face, and he immediately said, "Grandmaster, please come inside. I've already prepared everything!"
…
Back at the Princess Mansion.
The unruly Princess looked at Ning Qi who was empty-handed, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face, "Bai Hao is not willing to return Little Grey to me?"
Ning Qi smiled and said, "Of course he is not willing, but I made a bet with him. Tomorrow, I will have a competition with Shi Duanjin. If I win, he will return Little Grey to Your Highness."
"What? Really!? That's great! "
A look of joy appeared on the unruly Princess' face.
Wu Maji's expression changed, and she said, "Grandmaster Ning, what if you lose?"
Bai Hao was not a person who was easy to deal with. Since he was willing to use the Sky Dominating Ape as a bet, it meant that if Ning Qi lost, he would have to pay a greater price!
"Lose? Don't worry, how can I lose? "
Ning Qi said confidently.
"Shi Duanjin is the number one alchemist in the White Tiger Empire. He is only half a step away from the Alchemy King Realm. Are you really that confident?"
Wu Maji looked a little doubtful.
"Even if it's an Alchemy King, I might not be afraid, let alone a mere alchemy grandmaster. If you don't believe me, why don't we make a bet?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"What bet?"
Wu Maji said.
"If I win, you smile at me. How about it? I don't think I've seen you smile even once. "
Ning Qi smiled.
Wu Maji frowned slightly, and nodded. "Okay."
"Then it's settled. Princess, I'll go rest first."
Ning Qi said.
"Wait, there's one more thing I need you to decide."
The unruly Princess reached out to stop Ning Qi.
"What is it?"
Ning Qi's face showed a trace of doubt.
The unruly Princess clapped her hands, and Chen Haiyang was personally brought up by Deng San.
"Princess, I'm innocent."
Chen Haiyang immediately knelt in front of everyone and cried bitterly.
Deng San's face showed a trace of shame, and he said to Ning Qi, "It's my fault for not teaching such a traitor. Please forgive me, Grandmaster Ning."
"What is this for?"
Ning Qi frowned slightly.
"Didn't he betray you in the Tiger Prison? If you want to kill or torture him, do as you see fit. "
The unruly Princess said.
"Hehe, even if he didn't betray me, I would have betrayed myself. Otherwise, how could I see the Saintess of Cold Sky?"
Ning Qi shook his head with a smile, looked down at Chen Haiyang, and said to the unruly Princess, "Let him go."
"You're not angry?"
The unruly Princess was a little surprised.
Chen Haiyang was also stunned, and then a trace of ecstasy rose in his heart. Ning Qi actually didn't plan to punish him?
Ning Qi didn't answer, just smiled, and turned to leave.
A trace of admiration appeared in Deng San's eyes, and he looked at Ning Qi's back and said, "Grandmaster Ning is really broad-minded."
"Princess, then in the future …"
Chen Haiyang looked at the unruly Princess expectantly.
"In the future, you can wash the stables."
The unruly Princess tilted her head, then made a decision.
"Wash, wash the stables?"
Chen Haiyang looked at the unruly Princess in a daze.
"What? You don't want to? Then you'll be responsible for the night incense in the mansion. "
The unruly Princess sneered.
"No, no, no, I'm willing to wash the stables!"
Chen Haiyang said resolutely and decisively.
Although it was very shameful for a peak King of Combat to wash the stables and do the work of a servant, it was better than playing with the night incense!
"Hurry up and thank the Princess."
Deng San glanced at Chen Haiyang and said.
"Yes, I thank the Princess for your kindness!"
Chen Haiyang immediately kowtowed a few times.
… …
Not far from the Ninth Princess's mansion, there was a small courtyard. The owner of the courtyard was a minor official of the White Tiger Empire. He seemed to be in his forties and got along well with his neighbors. Every day when he returned home, he would greet his acquaintances. There was only a servant in his sixties by his side, and other than that, he didn't even have a maid.
"Lord Liu, you got off work on time again today?"
