Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl Chapter 1714: 1714: Testing the Waters

Chapter 1714: Chapter 1714: Testing the Waters

Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t intimidated by the spectacle, a calm smile playing on his lips.

“Why is everyone staring at , Mr. Jiang? Do I have a flower on my face?”

Beside him, Li Liuqing laughed.

“Mr. Jiang, you really are humorous. Or do you not realize that many strong figures in the Earth Immortal realm covet the opportunities and treasures you possess?”

Though he appeared full of smiles, there was an undertone of probing.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly, “I naturally know, but the Starry Palace with its vast resources, would they really be interested in the little things I have?”

“Sharp tongue as ever, who doesn’t know that you, Jiang Xiaobai, are one with fortuitous encounters? The flourishing age was ignited by you, and winning you over is securing the greatest assurance of this era.”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man stood and laughed, “Jiang Xiaobai, don’t assu we’re unaware of your purpose here at the Starry Palace, is it not to seek our secret treasure?”

This statent left Jiang Xiaobai bewildered.

For the secret treasure?

What a colossal joke!

Any treasure from Jiang Xiaobai’s possession could incite a scramble across the entire Earth Immortal realm!

Not to ntion powerful items like the Yuanhong Gourd, even just the Earth Vein Divergence Record could make others green with envy!

It holds the ability to seize the earth’s spiritual veins!

Moreover, he had no knowledge of any secret treasures held by the Starry Palace, much less coming here for one.

Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t foolish; he knew this was a probing ga!

Both sides were feeling out each other’s intentions, but the Starry Palace was evidently more cautious, with three supres overseeing matters—no loss either way.

And from their deanor, Jiang Xiaobai felt the people of the Starry Palace might know sothing.

“I didn’t expect the Starry Palace to think of , Mr. Jiang, in such a manner?”

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes flashed, suddenly rising in feigned indignation, “Am I, Mr. Jiang, the kind who stops at nothing for treasure? Coming to the Starry Palace wasn’t for the grand sche, yet seeing your lack of perspective is truly disappointing!”

The Heaven Howling Dog, who was munching wildly, paused at these words to look at Jiang Xiaobai in confusion.

Holy crap, this guy knows how to leverage worldly affairs for support?

Have so decency, would you?

You’re just eyeing the manpower of the Starry Palace!

“Heh, since when did worldly affairs involve you, the Primordial Chaos Boundless?”

The man sneered, “Our Starry Palace is only hosting you out of respect for the Celestial Palace. Do you really think of yourself as soone worthwhile?”

“If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, then leave. Otherwise, don’t bla the Starry Palace for being ungracious!”

The many Starry Palace strongn below also looked at Jiang Xiaobai coldly.

Jiang Xiaobai remained calm, turning to look at Li Liuqing.

This must have been orchestrated by the Sect Master, a test or a power play. After pondering, Jiang Xiaobai focused on Li Liuqing.

“Sect Master, aren’t you willing to say sothing? If so, I’ll just leave. When the Starry Palace later loses a great opportunity, don’t bla .”

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai genuinely seed ready to leave.

Seeing this, Li Liuqing could only smile bitterly.

He had ant to probe the situation, yet this boy was utterly unyielding, like oil and water that don’t mix!

There are no such reckless cultivators in the Earth Immortal realm!

“Alright, Mr. Jiang, don’t take it to heart. The Elder was rely speaking nonsense due to his drunken state. Our Starry Palace wouldn’t dare to speculate like this about you.”

Li Liuqing finally spoke, “What are you all standing around for, continue the music and the dance!”

The celestial music resud, and the female disciples in the center began to dance again.

Jiang Xiaobai gave a aningful look to Li Liuqing, then moved a bit closer after sitting down.

“Let’s speak openly, no need for pretenses. Although I’m not a good person… ahem, what I an is, given the urgent situation, we cannot afford to waste more ti!”

Li Liuqing chuckled, “Oh? Mr. Jiang, did you truly co to my Starry Palace seeking assistance?”

“Huh? You knew?”

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, “You knew yet still orchestrated this scene to make a fool of ?”

“It’s just for mutual understanding, to deepen our relationship a bit more.”

Li Liuqing said lightly, “Your reputation outside, Mr. Jiang, isn’t stellar. Even with recomndations towards our Starry Palace, we can’t let our guard down, right?”

“Is it truly that bad?”

Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head. Although he had done nurous angering acts before coming to the Earth Immortal realm, he promised those rumors had nothing to do with him!

At most, he only tricked so people in two secret realms. In the last mountain range secret realm, he didn’t trick anyone at all!

“Speaking of which, how did you know I ca to seek help?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

“Your friends already told us.”

Li Liuqing said, “But I still wanted to see what kind of person Jiang Xiaobai, who stirs up turbulence outside, is. It turns out it is indeed quite difficult.”

“Tch, it’s not like I’d ask you for help for nothing; there’s a benefit and a huge one!” Jiang Xiaobai said mysteriously.

He had intended to use the Starry Palace inheritance mystery as leverage, and now the opportunity presented itself.

However, what surprised Jiang Xiaobai was Li Liuqing’s knowing smile, what did it an?

“What do you an, you don’t believe ?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

“Of course, I believe you. You’re laden with great opportunities and causes; collaborating with you will definitely bring benefits, but it will equally entail grave costs.”

Li Liuqing smiled lightly, “Why don’t we have a chat at the mountain top?”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and he then noticed a flicker in the scene before him—they were already at a tranquil mountain peak with Li Liuqing.

anwhile, in the main hall, seeing Jiang Xiaobai suddenly vanish, Su i felt a twinge of worry.

She instinctively glanced at the three supres on a high platform happily chatting away, feeling she shouldn’t have co to muddy waters with Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing the Heaven Howling Dog beside her still mindlessly eating, her anger surged, she raised her hand intending to strike.

But the Heaven Howling Dog abruptly turned its head, its eyes fiercely locking onto her,

“What are you doing? The Bagua Furnace hits because I can’t beat it, Jiang Xiaobai hits because this dog’s background is big, but does a mountain-guarding beast like you of a Bodhisattva have the right to touch Gou Ye?”

The Heaven Howling Dog angrily said, “What does that make Gou Ye? Have I no dignity? Where is my respect?!”

“You!”

Su i seethed with rage, “At such a critical ti, you’re only concerned with eating. If anything happens to Jiang Xiaobai, we’re both done for!”

“He won’t get into trouble.”

The Heaven Howling Dog sat on its chair, wiped its mouth with its paws, “Provided things go as expected, the Starry Palace will be pulled in, just so internal conflicts need sorting out.”

After speaking, it discreetly glanced at the end of the platform, where a youth sat, seemingly chatting and laughing with others, but his gaze remained fixed in this direction.

The shadow in his eyes was blatant!

The Heaven Howling Dog even detected a trace of excitent in it.

“This Starry Palace too, is no simple place, likely so issues have already arisen.”

The Heaven Howling Dog said coldly.
