Just slling this aroma, Jiang felt every cell in his body signaling hunger.
He imdiately understood that the morning al must be sothing excellent.
If it weren’t excellent, how could just slling it make him feel his whole body emitting signals of hunger?
The next mont.
His figure moved like an arrow, instantly rushing into the cafeteria.
Then he saw the line ford.
In front of the line, there were still more than ten people.
Upon entering the cafeteria, he also noticed what the students around him were eating while sitting at the wooden tables.
It was a small bowl of rice porridge, and a piece of stead fish three fingers wide.
At close range, slling the aroma of the food, his hunger beca even more apparent.
"This is... Spirit Rice Porridge?!" Looking at the small bowl of rice porridge, each grain full and round, exhibiting a jade-like luster.
Even in the bowl, it seed to emit a gleaming radiance, and mories related to it popped into Jiang Ning’s mind.
His understanding of Spirit Rice Porridge was learned from the books in the Book Collection Building several hours ago.
It was a spirit plant from Ancient Tis, capable of being mass-grown.
It only needed to be planted on Spirit Crystal Ore Veins, in areas rich with Spiritual Energy, and with care, Spirit Rice could be harvested.
This kind of food is greatly beneficial for the human body, containing mild Spiritual Energy and vitality, nourishing the body and replenishing energy.
For Martial Artists, it is also a great food for themselves.
This point was highlighted in the book.
At this mont, comparing reality with theory and the unique aroma in the air, he was even more certain of his judgnt.
As his thoughts drifted, the queue moved forward, and it was his turn.
The woman holding the ladle glanced at Jiang Ning, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Without asking much, she quickly served him a bowl of Spirit Rice Porridge and a piece of stead fish.
"These are the free morning als provided every day, rember to co at sunrise each day, we won’t wait past the ti!" the woman with the ladle reminded Jiang Ning.
"Thank you!" Jiang Ning whispered.
He had just noticed the aning in the woman’s eyes, clearly seeing him as unfamiliar.
And the concern in her words reminded him of the woman in the martial hall before.
Suddenly, a hint of killing intent erupted.
Several gazes imdiately turned towards Jiang Ning.
The woman holding the ladle looked at Jiang Ning with a change in her expression.
"Sorry! I suddenly thought of an old acquaintance!" Jiang Ning said.
As the words fell, he picked up his portion of Spirit Rice Porridge and the stead fish, heading towards an empty seat.
The next mont.
He sat down, taking a large gulp.
As the porridge entered his stomach, he imdiately felt his body greedily absorbing the vitality and energy within.
The cells that absorbed the energy imdiately relaxed, conveying a sense of pleasure.
A few breaths later.
He opened his eyes, his gaze bright.
"It really is good stuff! No wonder these students from the Tao Palace are all eager," he praised in his heart.
Then he picked up the chopsticks and grabbed the three-finger-wide piece of stead fish.
Taking a bite, the at was smooth and tender, delicate.
He closed his eyes to quietly savor it, then opened them.
"Not bad!" He nodded to himself.
Compared to the surprise the Spirit Rice Porridge gave him, the stead fish seed average.
Even compared to the White Dragon Fish he had tasted before, it was slightly inferior.
But it was clearly not ordinary.
"Most likely they are products from a Grotto Heaven!" he understood in his heart.
Everything he had seen and heard since yesterday made him realize the profoundness of the Tao Palace was indeed different.
It’s no wonder it is regarded as one of the sacred lands of Martial Arts in the heart of the Martial Artists in the world.
"Hello, is this seat taken?" Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew from the front, carrying the fragrance of a woman’s costics.
Jiang Ning looked up to see a woman with her long hair tied high, revealing a fair swan-like neck.
The woman’s eyes were bright, looking at him with strong interest.
"No one!" Jiang Ning replied.
"Then I won’t be polite!" The woman sat down opposite Jiang Ning.
Then she looked at him with a slight smile in her eyes.
"Hello, my na is Li Mujin."
"Li Mujin?" Jiang Ning was surprised to hear the na, feeling it was sowhat familiar to him.
"You seem unfamiliar, I haven’t seen you in the Tao Palace before, can you tell your na?" Li Mujin asked again.
At this mont.
A flash of insight appeared in Jiang Ning’s mind, and he instantly rembered where he had heard that na.
It was from Lin Qingyi last year.
According to Lin Qingyi, she originally intended to set up a eting between him and the daughter of the Commandery Prince, Li Mujin, to see if there was any potential interest between them.
What a coincidence?!
He thought to himself.
Then said: "Jiang Ning!"
Hearing this na, Li Mujin looked at Jiang Ning, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
The na felt inexplicably familiar to her, as if she had heard it sowhere before.
While she pondered.
Jiang Ning gulped down the remaining Spirit Rice Porridge in two mouthfuls, depleting the bowl entirely.
Then, he picked up the spirit fish the size of three fingers, swallowing it in one bite.
"You are... the Dongling County Patrol Envoy Jiang Ning, the beloved of Shiqi!" Li Mujin suddenly exclaid in surprise.
As the words fell, a multitude of gazes turned, looking at Jiang Ning.
"Is he really the one whom the Seventeenth Princess is willing to anger the Imperial Majesty for, insisting on marrying?" A male voice sounded.
"I really don’t know how he won the Seventeenth Princess’s heart!" Another male voice followed.
"What’s there not to understand! This person’s looks are outstanding, temperant extraordinary, and most crucially, he rose from obscurity and beca famous, ranking fourth on the Hidden Dragon Heavenly List." A female voice said.
"Indeed, indeed!! Soone who relies solely on themselves without leveraging family background or wealth is always the most admired by us! Don’t mind about the Seventeenth Princess fancying him, if I were younger, I would also chase him." Another soft female voice added.
At this mont, everyone looked at Jiang Ning, all chiming in with their comnts.
Li Mujin looked at Jiang Ning, her gaze sowhat complex.
She rembered that it was the Princess Consort Qi who had once tried to set her up with this man.
At that ti, she didn’t want to refuse the Princess Consort’s goodwill, so she agreed to go, but she didn’t care much in her heart.
Though she was older and unmarried, with her parents urging her,
she had achieved Martial Arts success, and entered the Daoist School through fair competition.
Ordinary n couldn’t catch her eye.
Even among her peers in the Royal Capital, very few caught her attention.
So at that ti, she didn’t think much of the Martial Arts prodigy that the Princess Consort talked about.
A backwater place, resource-poor, how could it produce a True Dragon?
Only now did she realize that the line drawn by the Princess Consort was not only a real Hidden Dragon, but one with outstanding looks, like a crane in a flock of chickens.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret in her heart.
anwhile.
Upon hearing the discussions around him, Jiang Ning finally understood what Ji Mingyue had done during this ti.
Before he even arrived in the Royal Capital, Ji Mingyue told the elderly emperor that she had already privately pledged herself to Jiang Ning for life.
This life would be his and his alone.
In this matter, she stood firm and relentless, making it known throughout the city.
And because of this matter, now known by all the nobles of the city, Ji Mingyue was confined to the Luantian Palace.
Upon learning this from the surrounding discussions, Jiang Ning imdiately felt a bit of a headache.
The matter between Ji Mingyue and him was now known by all, tarnishing reputations.
In such a situation, how would Ji Mingyue manage herself in the future?
As an unmarried woman, how could she marry in the future?
Thinking of this made him feel a headache.
Handling the situation with Ji Mingyue beca a bit troubleso!
The more he thought about it, the more his headache increased.
"Forget it, let’s take one step at a ti!" he sighed inwardly.
Then he said to Li Mujin: "Farewell!"
After the words fell, he turned and left.
Soon, he passed through the crowd and walked out of the Tao Palace cafeteria.
Behind him.
Li Mujin looked at Jiang Ning’s back.
"Little Shiqi has good taste indeed! But it seems this person doesn’t have much feeling for Little Shiqi!"
