"Lord Xu, please go in. His Highness has been waiting inside for a long time." The housekeeper said respectfully. He was just a housekeeper in charge of external affairs. Naturally, there would be people to receive guests like them inside.
Xu Jing nodded slightly and then led the people behind him in. The people who were left aside did not complain at all.
As soon as they entered the mansion, a servant walked over from the side. He was wearing purple clothes. Beside him were servants in other colors, waiting to receive guests.
"Lord, young masters, because there are too many people, His Highness has built a back garden to receive guests. Please follow me." The servant said respectfully.
Xu Jing was prepared for this when he saw so many people. No matter how big the living room was, it could not fit so many people. He nodded and signaled for the servant to lead the way.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the servant led them to a unique garden. There were many rare and precious flowers in full bloom around them, causing the air to be filled with a faint floral fragrance. Together with the evergreen trees, it was a unique atmosphere.
As soon as they entered, they were seen by the housekeeper of the mansion who was waiting here. He said a few apologetic words to the guests who were talking to him and then walked over to Xu Jing.
Before he got close, his face was already full of smiles and he greeted them warmly.
"Lord Xu, you are old so early. If His Highness knew, he would be even happier. He was just nagging you. But now His Highness has some matters to attend to. He will come back later."
"Hehe, His Highness is too polite. It is our honor to be able to attend His Highness's banquet. Speaking of which, I have not seen him for a long time. This time, we must not return until we are drunk." Xu Jing also said with a face full of smiles, even a little modest.
"Oh, oh, oh, Lord Xu, you are flattering me. If His Highness heard this, he would scold me for not receiving you well. These are your grandsons, right? They are all full of spirit. What a blessing." The housekeeper quickly waved his hand and praised the people behind Xu Jing.
This housekeeper really knew how to talk. After a few words, even Gu Zheng felt that he was really reliable. He was really good at talking and made everyone happy, like a spring breeze.
Because there were other people coming in one after another, the housekeeper didn't say much to them and left after apologizing.
Looking at the figure of the other party, Gu Zheng was a little puzzled. When the other party left, he actually felt a little reluctant. How could a mere mortal cause such fluctuations in his state of mind?
However, Gu Zheng carefully observed the other party and found that he was indeed just an ordinary person. There were no fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body. In front of Gu Zheng, he couldn't hide at all. Gu Zheng could only conclude that the other party's talent was extraordinary. No wonder the prince was assured to let him receive guests alone.
Many temporary tables had been set up outside. Of course, the most important one was the extended table in the middle, which could seat nearly 20 people.
At this time, there were nearly ten people sitting on the platform. Each of them had one or two young men and women standing behind them. They seemed to be their juniors. They were all chatting with each other in low voices.
There was almost no one like Xu Jing who had brought so many people at once. Most of them only brought two or three people.
There were also many maids around, pouring tea for everyone. If there were any questions, they could ask them.
"Nephew Gu, come with me. I'll introduce you to a few people. They are all seniors that you haven't seen before. You can go sit on the side," Xu Jing said to Gu Zheng with a smile.
This caused the other juniors to feel a burst of jealousy. They felt that Xu Jing was being too biased. Who didn't know what it meant to be introduced to others in such an occasion? However, they could only accept that they were no longer the family head's most favored people.
On the other hand, Luo Wei was still the same. He looked at Gu Zheng with confusion. He already knew that Gu Zheng was just relying on his ancestor. He wanted to follow Miss Shuang 'Er and become a disciple, but why did Miss Shuang' Er want him to become a disciple? He couldn't see how powerful Gu Zheng was.
Gu Zheng naturally understood that Xu Jing was creating an opportunity for him to see if he knew anyone. He had told Xu Jing that as long as the other party came in contact with the person he was looking for, he would be able to find out.
Xu Jing believed this without a doubt. After all, the other party was an immortal. Their methods were not something they could imagine.
They walked directly to the big table in the middle. It was clearly the place where the king entertained important guests.
The king still hadn't appeared. It seemed that if he didn't wait for guests, he wouldn't appear here.
As soon as they got close, a few people around the same age as Xu Jing looked over. One of them had a kind face and called them over.
Xu Jing didn't hold back at all. He walked over to the person and hugged him tightly. It seemed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
"Old Xu, are you trying to kill me? Why are you hugging me so hard? It hurts," the person hugged by Xu Jing said helplessly.
"I can still kill you. Your reputation as the Great Godly Doctor Xia is well-known. I didn't expect you to come here. Doesn't the bull market like this kind of occasion?" Xu Jing laughed and then sat down next to him.
Gu Zheng also learned from the others and stood behind Xu Jing. He didn't say anything, but he saw everyone with a glance.
Those people were all normal people. Only a man and a woman near the end caught Gu Zheng's attention.
It was a man and a woman. It seemed to be a grandfather and a granddaughter. The old man had a bent waist. He was dressed in dark green clothes. Sitting next to him was a handsome young man. His appearance was slightly delicate and pretty.
The main thing was that the two of them had a faint spiritual energy fluctuation. One was at the fifth stage and the other was at the second stage. It seemed that they were two immortal cultivators. However, they also glanced over and didn't let the two of them discover them.
"Cough cough!" Originally, I didn't want to come, but the king's youngest son's strange illness was cured by someone. This made me very curious. I want to know which expert did it. I also want to learn from him. "In the face of Xu Jing's ridicule, the Divine Doctor Xia who was called by Xu Jing said awkwardly.
"So that's how it is. I thought it was you who cured his son's illness. It turned out to be someone else." Xu Jing said curiously. "Are you also helpless about this illness? I don't believe that there is someone whose medical skills are better than yours. "
Gu Zheng looked at Xu Jing's surprised tone. It seemed that this Divine Doctor Xia was also very famous.
"You really think too highly of me. There are so many difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the world. With my skills, I can get everyone's recognition. It is pure luck. For some incurable diseases, I am powerless. It is normal that I can't cure them." Divine Doctor Xia said indifferently. He seemed to be very open-minded and admitted his own shortcomings.
Xu Jing shook his head and said again. "But I still don't believe that there is something in Feng City that you can't cure. Moreover, I suspect that you are deliberately hiding your skills. Do you want to live in seclusion?"
Divine Doctor Xia smiled and didn't continue to speak. It didn't matter whether the other party believed him or not. Anyway, he wouldn't slap his face. He had already seen through this false reputation. He raised his hand and pointed to the man and woman behind him and said to Xu Jing.
"This is my grandson, Xia Jia and Xia Xin. You have met them before. They just came back from outside. I brought them here to see the world. Quickly greet your Uncle Xu."
"Uncle Xu, hello." Xia Jia He and Xia Xin said in unison.
"Oh, I didn't think that your grandson would be so old. The last time I saw them was ten years ago." Xu Jing said with a sigh. "Come, I don't have anything good on me. These two pearls are for you."
Xu Jing said while taking out two pearls from his body. Gu Zheng looked at them and saw that they were the pearls that were given to him at that time. He didn't know who the other one was. Gu Zheng's heart twitched. Didn't he know how precious this thing was?
However, the man and woman didn't think too much about it. They only saw two pearls that were neither too big nor too small. Although the quality looked good, they looked a bit small and didn't look good.
Disappointment appeared on their faces. They obviously felt that this gift was not very good.
However, the two pairs of eyes still looked at their grandfather. His family education was very strict.
"Since it's your Uncle Xu who gave it to you, you should accept it. Xu Daren doesn't easily give people things. You are blessed." His own grandson was not sensible. How could he not know the weight of this gift?
The two of them nodded and went forward to take one each. They thanked him in unison.
Looking at the two people's expressions, they didn't seem to want it. Gu Zheng felt that the other party was really blind. They were really blind to give such a good thing to them.
"I don't know who this is? It's a bit strange. Could it be that you just came back from outside? "Divine Doctor Xia looked at Gu Zheng with interest and suddenly asked.
"Yes, he also just came back from outside, but he is a descendant of an elder. This time, I specially brought him to see the world."
"Nephew Gu, this is your Uncle Xia, one of the most outstanding doctors in Feng City. He is as famous as the Imperial Palace's doctor who specializes in treating the Emperor." Xu Jing remembered that he had not introduced Gu Zheng to Divine Doctor Xia.
"Hello, Uncle Xia." Gu Zheng respectfully said to Divine Doctor Xia. Of course, he could feel the temperament of the other party. Saving lives was not inferior to rebirth parents. It was really not easy for the other party to pass down such a good reputation.
"Good, good, it seems that you are full of spirit. You are a good seedling. If you cultivate well in the future, you will be a pillar of support." Divine Doctor Xia looked at Gu Zheng and praised him with a smile.
Then, he took out a white jade bottle from his bosom and handed it over. "Your uncle doesn't have anything else, so I'll give you this Heart Regulating Pill. Although I don't dare to say that it can cure all diseases, it can cure common minor injuries. I'll give it to you for self-defense."
As soon as Divine Doctor Xia's voice fell, Gu Zheng could feel the two opposite eyes' Shua 'looking at him. Their eyes were obviously full of envy. It was obvious that the fame of this thing was not small. Even Xu Jing showed a surprised look.
"Thank you, Uncle Xia." Gu Zheng took it and put it in his arms. As a Jin Xian cultivator, he naturally did not feel that there was anything special about a mortal's medicine. However, he could not refuse the other party, so he accepted it with gratitude.
"Divine Doctor Xia, you are still generous. This is your secret medicine. It is not easy to give it away. I did not expect you to bleed so much this time. It seems that you really give me face." Xu Jing knew that as an immortal, Gu Zheng did not care about these things. However, he still subconsciously wanted his old friend to leave a good impression in front of him.
"No, no, haha." Divine Doctor Xia said with a smile. It was obvious that Xu Jing had hit the nail on the head.
The reason why he gave such a precious pill was because he wanted his old friend to have some life-saving medicine. One had to know that in the current struggle in the imperial court, he could clearly see it. Of course, he had to side with his own people.
Just as Xu Jing was about to say something, a loud and clear voice sounded from outside.
"Wei Wang has arrived!"
Unknowingly, the long table in front of Gu Zheng was already filled with people. While they were chatting, the sky had unknowingly darkened.
Gu Zheng looked to the side and found that Luo Wei and the others had already sat down at a nearby table. Beside them were the youths that the others had brought.
The servant's voice transmission caused all the noise in the courtyard to disappear. Everyone was looking at the entrance of the courtyard.
The nearby maids, under the butler's instructions, placed large luminous pearls around the courtyard. As the gentle light slowly rose, the entire courtyard was almost as bright as the day.
A few beautiful maids walked out of the courtyard, followed by a man and a woman.
The man was about forty years old. He had short hair and looked like a middle-aged man with an imposing aura. As soon as he entered, his pair of tiger eyes swept around. His imposing aura caused people to raise their eyebrows.
The other was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She was dressed in a purple palace dress. Her fitting clothes perfectly accentuated her exquisite figure.
At this time, everyone had already stood up. When they saw them come out, they shouted in unison.
"Hello, Your Highness."
Because there were too many people, the others had already been arranged to other places. Previously, the prince had gone there first before coming here. This was because this was his closest friend.
"Everyone, please take a seat. There's no need to be so formal. Everyone is this prince's friend. There's no need to be so distant." Prince Wei brought his wife and said with a smile.
Xu Jing and the others looked at each other and smiled, then sat down one after another.
There was no need to be formal with Prince Wei. The more formal you were with him, the more he would think that you were an outsider. Instead, he would think that you were fake and would unconsciously distance yourself from you.
As the prince arrived, a few people followed behind him. Only then did the guards outside close the courtyard door.
Faintly, they could hear the commotion coming from somewhere else.
"Everyone knows my temper. I don't know how to beat around the bush. If there's anything you want to say, just say it." After the prince and his wife sat down, he immediately said to everyone.
"Your Highness, just say what you want to say."
"That's right. Who doesn't know your temper? Of course, we won't have any objections."
Regardless of whether they were speaking the truth or trying to flatter the prince, no one was tactful enough to object.
"Good. Everyone is straightforward." The prince glanced at everyone and said happily, "The first thing is, of course, to serve the wine and dishes. I can't possibly let everyone sit here and starve."
The prince's little joke made everyone burst into laughter.
As soon as the prince's voice fell, the outer courtyard door opened again. Rows of maids walked in one after another. Soon, every table was filled with wine and dishes. However, no one touched their chopsticks because the prince definitely had something else to do.
Sure enough, when the servants left, the prince spoke from above.
"This time, I've invited everyone here because my son, Huang 'er, has finally recovered from his strange illness. With my temper, of course, I would like to celebrate. Secondly, I have a very good opportunity to give everyone here. But whether you are blessed with this opportunity or not, it will depend on your luck."
The prince's words were out of everyone's expectations. Everyone could guess the first part, but what did he mean by the second part?
Everyone looked at the prince with a puzzled expression, including the young men sitting outside. They were all curious, wondering what the prince was up to.
Could it be that the prince had gathered everyone here to give them some benefits?
"Hehe, Princess Consort, look, isn't everyone like what I said before? Everyone is very surprised as to why I did this." At this time, the Prince started to keep people in suspense as he spoke to the woman beside him with a smile.
"That's right. Even I was surprised when I heard you speak in riddles for the first time. After all, even you have to say that it's a great fortune. That's really amazing." The princess raised her arm to cover half of her face and laughed.
"Prince, what exactly is the matter? Don't keep me in suspense." One of them couldn't help but ask. It seemed that he was an impatient person.
"Hehe, I know everyone can't wait, so I'll tell everyone." The prince laughed.
"Everyone knows that a few months ago, my beloved son was heavily armed. As a result, no one could do anything about it. Even Divine Doctor Xia and the one from the palace came, but they were still helpless."
"This old man is sorry for the prince's love. It's the first time I've seen something like this. I really can't do anything about it." Below, Divine Doctor Xia said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter, because this strange disease is not something that we mortals can cure. Even some immortal cultivators can't cure it. It's not Divine Doctor Xia's fault." The prince comforted him and then continued.
"Later, under the introduction of an expert in my residence, a real immortal was invited. This immortal was able to summon the wind and rain, riding the clouds and mist, but he was a real immortal. After seeing Huang 'er's illness, this living immortal saw that Huang' er had an immortal fate and could follow him to learn immortal techniques. Now, he has already accepted him as a disciple and has become a low-level immortal cultivator. Soon, he will follow him to cultivate."
Speaking of which, the prince could no longer hold back his joy and revealed a proud smile.
He didn't expect to meet an immortal. Of course, he had to thank the two people below. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing when he helped them by chance.
He couldn't help but see an old man below. At this moment, he was also looking at him. He nodded slightly to the other party to express his gratitude.
