"Why did Hou Qing call him lord?"
Everyone's shock was clearly expressed in their words.
Ning Qi looked at Hou Qing and said with a faint smile, "I did slap him."
"Yes."
Hou Qing nodded with a smile and looked at Young Master Lin. "If you want to return the slap, hit here."
Hou Qing pointed at his own face.
Everyone was even more shocked.
What was this cultivator's background? How could he be protected by Perfected Immortal Jiang's true disciple, Prince Xu's Residence Consecration, and Dao Integration expert Hou Qing?
"Brother Hou, I-I don't dare. This is actually a misunderstanding …" Young Master Lin stammered, his face flushed.
It was true that his father was the prefectural magistrate, but compared to Prince Xu, his father was just a slightly larger ant.
The group of young men and women that Young Master Lin brought did not dare to look at Ning Qi, afraid that they would be involved in this misunderstanding.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then get lost."
Hou Qing smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Young Master Lin nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. Then, he turned and left with his companions, not daring to stay any longer.
"Big Brother Lin, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital …" A woman behind Young Master Lin sighed after running for a long distance.
Young Master Lin's expression did not look too good. After a few breaths of silence, he slowly calmed himself down and sighed. "The water in the capital is indeed deep. If we are not careful, we might encounter a true dragon or even a flood dragon. We will have to think twice before going to the Immortal Advent Restaurant in the future."
The shopkeeper and the manservant stood there in a daze. Hou Qing glanced at them. Without waiting for them to speak, he smiled at Ning Qi and said, "Sir, I also have a courtyard in the capital city. Come stay at my place. This Immortal Arrival Restaurant only serves some cultivators. With Sir's noble status, it is not worthy."
The shopkeeper and the manservant's faces seemed to be on fire. They did not dare to speak and could only watch as Ning Qi was taken away by Hou Qing.
Not long later.
Ning Qi arrived at the courtyard that Hou Qing mentioned. It was also in the bustling center of the capital. There were servants and maids in the courtyard. When Hou Qing and Ning Qi arrived, an old man who looked like a housekeeper immediately came to greet them.
This old man looked different from ordinary people. His head was huge, but his body was slender. There were two horns on his forehead that seemed to have not fully grown.
It was obvious that he wasn't a human.
"Milord, you've returned."
The old man said respectfully.
"This is my esteemed guest. In the future, when he and I are around, you can call him Lord. Don't call me Lord."
Hou Qing smiled.
The old man was a little surprised. He quickly looked at Ning Qi and cupped his fists. "Sir!"
"You're welcome."
Ning Qi smiled and waved his hand.
After the two of them entered the courtyard, Hou Qing dismissed the attendants and said in a low voice, "During this period of time, the various factions are already searching for the person that Milord is looking for."
"What are their reactions?
Actually, you don't have to show yourself today. If that's the case, I'm afraid they already know of my existence. "
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
"In that kind of situation, this disciple couldn't just watch Milord being humiliated."
Hou Qing said solemnly.
After a pause, he continued, "Everyone has different reactions. I think Mr. Wen Xing's reaction is a little strange."
"What about the Moke Mountains?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"Master has already sent a message to inquire. In a few days, he will personally arrive in the capital."
A solemn look appeared in Hou Qing's eyes.
Ning Qi pondered and nodded.
Meanwhile.
Mr. Wen Xing's expression instantly became somewhat solemn when he learned about what had happened outside the Immortal Arrival Restaurant from his subordinates.
Not only did his subordinates describe the entire process, but they also obtained Ning Qi's portrait.
"This appearance …" A look of surprise appeared in Mr. Wen Xing's eyes. He suddenly stood up and hurriedly left the residence.
"Mr. Wen Xing."
"Mr. Wen Xing."
The guards in the palace greeted him one after another.
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Wen Xing would perhaps respond patiently. However, right now, he only hurried along with a solemn expression.
His status in the capital was also quite special. Apart from being a Dao Integration expert, he was also on good terms with many important figures in the palace and could directly enter the palace.
The place that Mr. Wen Xing was going to was very remote in the palace. It seemed like this place had not been visited for a long time. Although the ground was swept clean, there was no sign of human habitation. Only a lonely hall stood before him.
An old eunuch who was cleaning suddenly walked out of the hall and looked at Mr. Wen Xing with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Wen Xing, why are you here today?"
The old eunuch bowed slightly after Mr. Wen Xing walked in. Then, he asked with a puzzled expression.
Mr. Wen Xing didn't respond to him and walked straight into the hall. Seeing this, the old eunuch smiled and didn't get angry. He followed him into the hall.
There was a statue in the hall.
The statue depicted a woman with a vivid and lifelike appearance. This woman was the first Great Empress of the Tai Hao Nation, Great Empress Tai Hao! Mr. Wen Xing bowed respectfully toward the statue of Great Empress Tai Hao. Then, he slowly walked past the statue and arrived behind it.
There was a relief sculpture behind the statue. Within the relief sculpture was a tall mountain and flowing water. At the peak of the mountain was a pavilion.
In the pavilion, three people sat down and discussed dao.
One of them was Great Empress Tai Hao. The other two were a young man and a figure whose face wasn't carved. This was because the figure's back was facing Mr. Wen Xing.
Mr. Wen Xing's gaze landed on the young man. He stared at him unblinkingly. Time passed by slowly.
The old eunuch held a broom and stood behind Mr. Wen Xing. He also watched silently.
After an unknown period of time, Mr. Wen Xing's face gradually revealed a trace of shock. After the shock, it gradually turned into fear and disbelief.
"Mr. Wen Xing?"
The old eunuch frowned slightly.
"He, how could it be him …" Mr. Wen Xing muttered to himself.
"Who is it?"
The old eunuch's expression gradually turned cold.
"Dragon … Dragon Slayer Perfected Immortal …" Mr. Wen Xing's voice still carried a trace of disbelief. Then, he muttered to himself again, "It's just a coincidence, right?
They just look alike. Dragon Slayer Perfected Immortal has been missing for so many years. He should be dead by now … "Dragon Slayer Perfected Immortal?
The old eunuch said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mr. Wen Xing finally came back to his senses. He put away the shocked expression on his face and slowly turned to look at the old eunuch. "How dare you speak to me like that?"
The old eunuch looked at Mr. Wen Xing quietly. Suddenly, the aura on his body started to fluctuate. Occasionally, a trace of aura leaked out, but it far surpassed the Dao Integration Stage.
Mr. Wen Xing was enveloped by this aura. He subconsciously took a few steps back until his back came into contact with the cold wall. A trace of astonishment appeared on his face. "How could you be … a Perfected Immortal?"
"What did you mean by Dragon Slayer Perfected Immortal?"
The old eunuch said coldly.
Mister Wen Xing was silent for several breaths of time before he recovered from the shock. He didn't understand why a true immortal would disguise himself as a eunuch and hide in the palace. He only knew that if he didn't answer the man's question, his life would be in danger!
