Exercise Field.
Inside the military tent.
As the tent flap was drawn back, Jiang Ning suddenly appeared before the two n.
"Subordinate Jiang Ning pays his respects to Residence Master!" Jiang Ning greeted with a cupped fist salute.
"Do you recognize ?" Hong Minghu asked.
"Even if I don't recognize you, I could guess who you are!" Jiang Ning responded.
"True enough," Hong Minghu nodded slightly, then continued, "Do you know why I summoned you?"
"I do not," Jiang Ning shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Hong Minghu raised his hand and pointed to Gongsun Yu beside him, "This is Third Elder Gongsun Yu of dicine King Valley. He is looking for you."
"So, it's Elder Gongsun Yu," Jiang Ning greeted with a cupped fist.
Gongsun Yu spoke, "Jiang Ning, young friend, do you know why I am looking for you?"
"I do not," Jiang Ning shook his head slightly.
"Then I'll get straight to the point," Gongsun Yu began and continued, "Elder Liu Qingsong t with foul play, and the timing coincided with the day he went to see you. You must have seen Elder Liu Qingsong, right?"
"Liu Qingsong is dead?" Jiang Ning frowned.
"You didn't know?" Gongsun Yu spoke, his gaze sharply fixed on Jiang Ning.
"How would I know that?" Jiang Ning looked up at him and continued, "After I t with Liu Qingsong that day, I have been in seclusion at ho, practicing hard for this day. I have been preparing for several months!"
anwhile.
Next to them, Hong Minghu, listening to the conversation, tapped the tabletop continuously with the index finger of his right hand resting on the desk.
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
...
The dull sounds echoed in the large tent.
Gongsun Yu then spoke, "What did Elder Liu Qingsong say to you when you saw him?"
Jiang Ning replied, "He just casually asked if I had seen any trace of the river bandit Tian Buyi on the deserted island. After asking, Elder Liu left."
"I understand!" Gongsun Yu nodded looking at Jiang Ning.
Then he turned his head to Hong Minghu, "Master Hong, I have finished my questioning!"
"Any findings?" Hong Minghu asked indifferently.
"Quite a few," Gongsun Yu nodded slightly.
Then he cupped his fist toward Hong Minghu, "I will take my leave now, with this matter concluded!"
After bidding farewell to Hong Minghu, Gongsun Yu walked towards the outside of the tent.
As soon as he stepped out, his expression changed drastically.
Originally, Liu Qingsong had slled the scent of dicine on Jiang Ning's body, the scent of the Leopard Embryo Shaping Body Pill.
How could he not sll it, being in the sa room with Jiang Ning?
As soon as Jiang Ning stepped into the tent, he was ninety percent certain in his heart.
Tian Buyi had fallen at the hands of Jiang Ning, and so had Elder Liu Qingsong.
After witnessing Jiang Ning's performance today, he didn't think it impossible for Liu Qingsong to have fallen at Jiang Ning's hand.
That sword strike on the platform, carrying the rolling Sword Force, had defeated Yuan Fei, who had only just started Muscle Training and had barely mastered the Ape Demon True Body.
That sword strike alone was enough to prove that Jiang Ning had the power to confront an ordinary Seventh Grade head-on.
Although Liu Qingsong was sowhat stronger than the ordinary Seventh Grade.
But who could guarantee that Jiang Ning had shown his full potential at that ti?
After all, Yuan Fei, who had just mastered the Ape Demon True Body, was completely dominated by Jiang Ning without showing any signs of reaching his limit.
"Truly terrifying! At such a young age, Jiang Ning has reached this step! This matter is of great importance; I must personally return to the valley to report to the Valley Master!" Gongsun Yu thought to himself, muttering under his breath.
Thinking of this, he silently added, "This youngster is too montrous, and when the ti cos, I must convey the dangers to the Valley Master, hoping he will make a prudent decision."
...
Elsewhere.
Back in the military tent.
With the departure of Gongsun Yu, Jiang Ning also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Third Elder of dicine King Valley.
This identity had indeed startled him just now.
After becoming an imaginary enemy of dicine King Valley, he naturally made sure to read up on information about dicine King Valley.
According to the records, the Elder Hall of dicine King Valley consisted of six mbers.
Any one of them far surpassed Seventh Grade and was placed in the ranks of Sixth Grade.
To beco an Elder, one must break through Seventh Grade and step into the ranks of Sixth Grade.
And the higher the ranking of the Elder, the more powerful they were.
According to the information, the Head Elder in the Elder Hall was a Fifth Grade strong person who had mastered Inner Breath, delving deeply into this realm for over five years.
It was precisely because of such a powerful Elder Hall that dicine King Valley could beco a major force in Dongling County, ranking as the second Sect.
So, it wasn't difficult for Jiang Ning to guess that this Third Elder of dicine King Valley, Gongsun Yu,
was at least at the Peak of Sixth Grade.
A strength like Gongsun Yu's could easily sweep through the entire Luoshui County.
Perhaps only Master Hong, dispatched from another place, could contend with him.
As Jiang Ning pondered.
"Well done, you faced such a strong person without groveling or arrogance, not diminishing the might of our Inspection Office!" Hong Minghu praised.
Jiang Ning imdiately responded with a cupped fist, "I can be so composed because the Residence Master is here. If the situation were reversed, and I were alone with the Third Elder of dicine King Valley, I wouldn't have this confidence."
Hong Minghu laughed at this, "You're right! With this office here, even if Gongsun Yu has spent so years in Fifth Grade, he would still not dare to act recklessly in front of !"
Fifth Grade?
Jiang Ning was suddenly a bit surprised.
Then he looked at Hong Minghu in front of him, wondering.
Could it be that he, too, was a strong person with Fifth Grade Internal Strength?
"There's no need to guess, I am also Fifth Grade!" Hong Minghu said indifferently.
"Residence Master is mighty!" Jiang Ning responded with a fist and palm salute.
Hong Minghu laughed heartily, then said, "Sit down, let's talk."
"Yes, Residence Master!" Jiang Ning replied, then took a seat as suggested.
