Chapter 1420: Millennium Pavilion
Liu Ming looked around and was about to speak when a voice interrupted,
“You must be Mr. Liu Ming. I’m the shopkeeper of Millenium Pavilion.”
Not far away, a fat white-faced middle-aged man in a white robe walked toward him quickly with a smile.
The waiter in a green shirt saw the white-faced middle-aged man approaching, and he hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.
“Mr. Liu is our distinguished guest. You can step down. I’ll greet him.” The fat middle-aged man waved his hand to the young man in a green shirt and ordered.
The waiter in a green shirt nodded repeatedly and withdrew. He glanced at Liu Ming curiously as he left.
“Sir is?” Liu Ming glanced at the fat middle-aged man. This man was also at the Celestial State, but he was only at the Celestial State early stage.
However, since the shopkeeper of a restaurant was a Celestial State cultivator, the force behind could be imagined.
“Hehe, I’m Bai Rui. Mr. Liu, no need to ask any more questions. Please come with me.” The fat middle-aged man chuckled, then he immediately turned around and walked upstairs.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and followed immediately.
After a while, they came to an independent private room on the fifth floor.
“Mr. Liu, this is the room. Please go in.” As the fat middle-aged man said, he opened the private room, but he didn’t go in; he didn’t even dare to take a look inside.
“Thank you, Sir.” Liu Ming nodded to the fat middle-aged man, took a breath, and walked in.
The fat middle-aged man waited for Liu Ming to enter, then he closed the door and sighed softly.
The distinguished guest who reserved this room was someone who even the boss behind the Millennium Pavilion wanted to fawn over. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper didn’t have the opportunity to have a word with the distinguished guest inside, otherwise his status in the Millennium Pavilion would have improved a lot immediately.
The slightly fat middle-aged man shook his head regretfully and walked downstairs. He was a little curious about the identity of Liu Ming as to why would he be invited by the one hosting a banquet.
At this moment, Liu Ming was in a small independent garden.
This was the elegant room on the fifth floor. It seemed to be quite large. There were not only green trees and red flowers, but also rockery and flowing water.
Being in this scene, his mood couldn’t help but become much more relaxed and tranquil.
In this state of mind, Liu Ming walked forward slowly along the only path. Not long after, a small hexagonal pavilion hidden among the flowers appeared in front.
A table of simple wine and dishes was served in the small pavilion. Huangfu Yupo and Zhao Qianying were sitting around the table.
Huangfu Yupo was still wearing a white shirt, but her veil had been taken off.
At this moment, Zhao Qianying changed into a long aqua dress. Her waist was slender, her neck was jade white, and her hair was coiled into 2 ring-shaped buns. Compared to when she was at the high platform in the morning, she looked a little more pretty.
“Liu Ming. You’re late.” Huangfu Yupo heard the footsteps and looked over with a faint smile.
“I hope that Elder Huangfu and Miss Zhao will forgive me. I was delayed by some personal matters just now.” Liu Ming’s eyes quickly glanced through Zhao Qianying, surprised by her beauty, then he cupped his fist at Huangfu Yupo He and said.
“Since you are busy, I’ll forgive you. Take a seat, Ying’er specially selected these wines and dishes for you.” Liu Ming’s surprised eyes were noticed by Huangfu Yupo. She smiled faintly and said casually.
Zhao Qianying blushed. She glanced at Huangfu Yupo a little bit angrily, but she said nothing.
Liu Ming sighed in his heart and sat down opposite Zhao Qianying.
“Eh, your aura seems to have changed a lot compared to ten years ago.” Huangfu Yupo suddenly looked Liu Ming up and down and said with some surprise.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and said vaguely, “I have practiced a mystic art in the past few years, then somehow my spiritual power began to turn cold.”
He sighed in his heart. The reason why he was late today was because he discovered that after jade talisman integrated into his body, it was inseparable from his meridians.
He tried his best, but he couldn’t remove it.
However, the cold spiritual power transformed by the jade talisman did not seem to be harmful to him. He would just try to take it out in the future, so he was not too worried.
“Spiritual power has turned cold? This is strange. Do you need me to take a look for you?” Huangfu Yupo said with a twinkle in her eyes.
“I don’t dare bother Elder Huangfu. This should be because I haven’t mastered the essentials in practicing the mystic art. I just need to stop practicing this art, and I believe my spiritual power will soon return to normal.” Liu Ming secretly cursed himself for being stupid, but he said calmly.
He didn’t dare to let Huangfu Yupo examine him. If his human identity was exposed, it would be no joke.
Huangfu Yupo glanced at Liu Ming with fluctuating eyes, which shocked Liu Ming.
“In that case, I won’t do anything unnecessary.” Huangfu Yupo said with a faint smile.
Liu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“By the way, I think you know the purpose of inviting you here today.” Huangfu Yupo changed the subject.
Liu Ming was moved. He glanced at Zhao Qianying who happened to look over as well.
As soon as their eyes met, Zhao Qianying seemed a little shy and quickly looked away.
“Elder Huangfu, of course I know what you want to say. However, with all due respect, Miss Zhao is the apple of the eye of the current Demon Emperor, and I’m only the family master of a small insignificant family. The status difference is really huge…” Liu Ming pondered for a moment, then he said indifferently.
After hearing these words, Zhao Qianying’s originally shy expression suddenly turned gloomy. Her pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Huangfu Yupo’s face also looked a little ugly.
Although Liu Ming did not say it clearly in his words, his rejection was expressed tactfully.
“Master, I suddenly thought of something urgent, so I’ll leave now.” Zhao Qianying suddenly stood up, glanced at Liu Ming coldly, and walked toward the depths of the elegant room.
When Liu Ming saw this, a hint of complication flashed in his eyes, but under this situation, he couldn’t say much.
When Huangfu Yupo was about to say something, Zhao Qianying’s figure disappeared into the distance.
In the small pavilion, only 2 people were left sitting opposite each other.
“Family Master Liu, I didn’t expect that you would be so resistant to this marriage. Is it because you don’t like Ying’er?” Huangfu Yupo stared at Liu Ming and her tone became extremely cold.
“How dare I? It’s because I feel I’m not worthy of Miss Zhao.” Liu Ming sighed and said this.
“Hmph! Such an excuse is useless. Liu Ming, do you know that I haven’t informed Sir Demon Emperor of this matter yet? If His Majesty finds out about this matter, and you have such an attitude, do you know what will be the consequences?” Huangfu Yupo said coldly.
Liu Ming frowned with a gloomy face.
The Huangfu Family was so powerful that there was nothing they couldn’t do in Thousands Demons Continent. Listening to Mo Tian’s words today, it seemed that Huangfu Yong was already one step into the Eternal State.
With Liu Ming’s current strength, he might be able to compete against the mighty Mystic Comprehending State, but before the Eternal State world, he was just an ant.
“It’s not that I’m fickle. I have said before that I have several confidantes. If you want me to abandon them and join the Huangfu Family, I apologize for rejecting the marriage.” Liu Ming thought for a moment, shook his head firmly, and said.
Although he said so, it was only one of the reasons.
On the other hand, as a human, he could hide this matter for a while, but not forever. If he really became the consort, with the Huangfu Family’s methods and background, it would be a matter of time before his identity was exposed. By then, his life or death was not up to him.
In addition, the Huangfu Family’s main focus now was the Liu Family, so they wouldn’t put too much attention to him.
After Liu Ming said this, he looked at Huangfu Yupo and secretly channeled his spiritual power to prevent Huangfu Yupo’s sudden move.
Contrary to his expectations, Huangfu Yupo not only did not show an angry look at this moment, but the indifference on her face slowly faded away. She glanced at Liu Ming with a strange look, then she looked into the distance with a thoughtful look.
Liu Ming couldn’t help but feel a little strange, but after waiting for a while, Huangfu Yupo remained silent.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.” With a sudden thought in his mind, he stood up suddenly, cupped his fist to Huangfu Yupo, and said so.
Since he had offended the Huangfu family, he planned to take Qing Yu and others to leave Central Imperial City immediately after leaving Millenium Pavilion.
As for the Demon Emperor’s ceremony tomorrow, he would naturally not go.
“You want to leave right now? Do you really think my Huangfu Family is nothing?” Huangfu Yupo suddenly turned around and flicked her sleeves.
“Whoosh!“
A white flying sword about a foot long flew out from her sleeve. With a tremor, it turned into a hot white light several meters long, appeared in front of Liu Ming instantly, and slashed.
Liu Ming, who was already on guard, flicked his sleeve and released a Mountain River Pearl to block the white sword light.
There was a loud “clang“!
The white sword light was immediately shaken away by the Mountain River Pearl. The Mountain River Pearl only trembled slightly, then it immediately recovered from the impact.
Huangfu Yupo was startled slightly as she didn’t expect Liu Ming to be able to take her blow. Immediately, she waved her sleeve and launched 8 more sword lights.
In addition to the flying sword from before, the 9 flying swords were flying randomly in the air, but in fact, they contained a mystery.
