Capítulo 1302: Chapter 194: eting Xiao Wuque!
Jiuxiao Building.
Jiang Ning once again arrived at the familiar tavern.
Compared to Jiuxiao Building in Guangning Prefecture, the Jiuxiao Building in the Royal Capital was even more majestic and spectacular.
On the nine-tiered eaves, golden wind chis were hung at each corner.
When the wind passes, the sound of the chis can spread in all directions.
On the building itself, all were covered with tiles glazed in a clear jade color.
The rising morning sun sprinkled over them, instantly emitting waves of glazed brilliance.
On each floor, Jiao Curtains hung down, each asuring one zhang and three, now lifted by the wind, appearing as a rainbow dance under the sunlight.
Jiang Ning glanced briefly before stepping up the three flights of stairs.
A mont later.
He had booked a room and then sat by the window at the back on the second floor.
Outside the window, was a stretch of hanging willows.
Beneath the willows, was a lake sparkling with green waves.
The second floor was unusually quiet at the mont, with only three or five tables occupied by patrons enjoying breakfast.
Jiang Ning ate the pastries in front of him, quietly waiting for the snacks he had just ordered to arrive.
After traveling for a day and a night, he had depleted much of his energy several tis.
Even with his achievents now, he still felt a bit fatigued.
Sitting down to rest now made him feel very comfortable.
“Did you hear? Fu Yuan Saint just entered the city again!”
“How could I not hear, entering the city in such a grand, imposing manner, how could I not hear!”
“You say Fu Yuan Saint is so arrogant, why hasn’t anyone co to curb him?”
“Hush!” The person conversing lightly shushed before lowering his voice to say, “Fu Yuan Saint, was indeed once the True God of the Heavenly Court, representing the orthodox Divine Dao. Without sufficient reason, who would move him easily, let alone Fu Yuan Saint’s extraordinary strength!”
Hearing the conversation of a few people at a nearby table, Jiang Ning subconsciously listened in.
Having just seen Fu Yuan Saint enter the city at the gate, he was still full of curiosity about him.
Now, from the nearby patron’s mouth, he heard new information about Fu Yuan Saint.
“True God of the Heavenly Court, orthodox Divine Dao!”
Jiang Ning murmured to himself secretly.
By this ti, those two patrons did not further delve into this topic but instead switched to another subject, gossip.
Jiang Ning listened to a couple of sentences and then stopped paying attention to their idle chatter.
Because the topic of conversation had shifted to which girl at Perfu Pavilion was more skilled.
As for the realm of sensual delights, Jiang Ning now had no interest.
This wasn’t because he suppressed his biological instincts, but rather because the likes of Wang Qintan had elevated his aesthetic threshold.
Furthermore, after a substantial increase in his five senses, he could see many things ordinary people couldn’t, and sll things they couldn’t.
It’s like if human eyes could perceive the world of faint light, then all food would beco unappetizing.
Although he hadn’t reached that point now, the logic was already there.
A mont later.
A servant from Jiuxiao Building brought the breakfast he just ordered.
A pot of thick Eight-Treasure porridge and two taels of braised beef.
“Sir, please enjoy!” The servant placed the food on Jiang Ning’s table, then bowed and retreated.
Only after moving half a zhang away did he turn to leave.
“Who do you think is most likely to win the title of Martial Champion this year?”
After taking a sip of thick Eight-Treasure porridge, Jiang Ning heard people at a square table nearby starting a new topic that piqued his interest.
He then listened closely.
“Who else could it be? It’s definitely Wan Jianyi, who is first on the Heavenly List!”
Wan Jianyi?
Jiang Ning was sowhat surprised.
Although he hadn’t paid much attention to the Hidden Dragon List’s heaven, earth, and human rankings, he had heard a little about them.
Heavenly List’s first, before clearly wasn’t this person.
As he was surprised, the conversation started again from over there.
“Has Wan Jianyi from Bashu Sword Pavilion arrived too?”
“Of course! I saw Wan Jianyi enter the city yesterday, but as for where he’s staying now, I don’t know!”
“Isn’t Wan Jianyi supposed to be the future Pavilion Master of Bashu Sword Pavilion? How can he win the title? Becoming Martial Champion ans serving the court!”
“I’ve heard Bashu Sword Pavilion is turning towards the court, maybe Wan Jianyi participating in the Martial Examination this ti is a show of sincerity.”
“…”
anwhile, the conversation continued.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but be amazed.
Bashu Sword Pavilion.
This reminded him instantly of his senior sister Li Qing in Luoshui County.
Back then when Li Qing left Canglang Martial Arts Hall, she went to Bashu Sword Pavilion for martial arts training through her father’s connections.
Bashu Sword Pavilion, Wan Jianyi.
He murmured to himself, then smiled.
“I wonder if I’ll have a chance to et Senior Sister Li Qing in the future. If I do, I bet she’ll be very surprised to see what I’ve beco!”
On the other side, the discussions continued.
“You say Wan Jianyi can win the title, becoming this year’s Martial Champion, I think not necessarily, that Buddha’s son is said to be the reincarnation of Buddha, he hasn’t made a move in the past two years, who dares say what level his strength is at now, might not be weaker than Wan Jianyi.”
“Buddha’s son, you an Mingxin Monk from Vajra Temple?” another tablemate said as he put down his chopsticks.
“Of course, apart from Master Mingxin, who else in the world today dares to call themselves the reincarnation of Buddha?” Then the person continued, “Master Mingxin was discovered by the host of Vajra Temple at the stone stele of the mountain gate, could walk in three months, recite the Diamond Sutra backward in six months, and at six years old had read all the scriptures in Vajra Temple.”
“Now being just over twenty, he has already achieved the Golden Body of Arhat, casting the Immovable Light King treasure body!”
