As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills - Chapter 628

628 Deliberately Luring Them Out
Gongye Jiu’s words stunned his follower. He asked in confusion, “No matter how complicated that girl is, it’s her own business. What does it have to do with Ning Caichen?”

“Ah, you’re still too young to understand this. Let me tell you the truth; that girl carries a huge karmic burden on her body. Any ordinary cultivator who encounters her will definitely be cursed. But with Jiang Ming by her side, the karmic burden that this girl carries is obviously suppressed. The reason is very simple. It’s because the person who suppressed all of this is a guy who carries a greater karmic burden.”

Gongye Jiu’s words caused his follower to be stunned. However, it was easy to understand. He was simply saying that there was an unimaginable secret that Jiang Ming was hiding.

“You mean to say that the karmic burden that Ning Caichen bears is huge? What kind of person can bear such a huge karmic burden?”

The follower sighed with emotion. He could see how terrifying Zhu An’an was. Moreover, the fact that Ning Caichen could suppress the negative effects of his fate was enough to show how powerful he was as well.

Gongye Jiu nodded and continued, “As long as Ning Caichen can become stronger, he will definitely become someone powerful in the future. I’m looking forward to where his destiny will take him. I think he’ll go beyond the Lower Realm and be a peerless master in the Upper Realm!”

The follower could not help but gasp. Everyone knew that Ning Caichen was talented, but no one had ever thought that he would be so powerful.

Now, it seemed that his master was more and more optimistic about Ning Caichen’s future, which was enough to show his excellence.

“But in that case, don’t we have to protect Ning Caichen from any harm?”

Gongye Jiu was in a dilemma when his follower raised this point.

“I want to follow that kid. But although he trusts me in many aspects, he still has his suspicions. It’s not easy to intimidate him. I might as well let him suffer a little first. By then, he’ll know how important my existence is to him.”

The corners of the follower’s mouth twitched. He could imagine that Ning Caichen would definitely be shocked if he were to encounter Gongye Jiu’s arrangements.

Gongye Jiu was extremely cunning and evil. Once Gongye Jiu wanted to scheme against someone, no one would be able to escape.

Jiang Ming did not know about all of this, but he knew that Gongye Jiu’s arrangements definitely had a purpose.
Su Ruoning left very quickly. Jiang Ming could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

“Mister, what is going on? Both Bai Ruoning and Su Ruoning were looking for you. What is the Qing Qiu thinking?”

Zhu An’an was puzzled.

Jiang Ming shook his head and said, “If I knew what they were thinking, I would have a way to deal with it. But the problem is that I don’t know what they are thinking at all. Su Ruoning is acting like this because of a deal between her and Gongye Jiu. However, even if that was the case, there’s no need for her to be so persistent. As for the others, it’s different. There are countless ways to accomplish this. It’s hard for me to imagine what Bai Ruoning’s true goal is. In short, there must be something extremely strange behind all of this. It’s not something that you and I can find out! Gongye Jiu is skilled in divination. The things that he has foreseen are unfathomable. You and I can only peek at its outer appearance, but we will never be able to see its inner truth.”

Jiang Ming’s words made Zhu An’an frown.

“If we continue to be in a stalemate like this, it’s very likely that we’ll fall for the other party’s tricks! We have to figure out what Gongye Jiu’s goal is. Otherwise, if we step into the trap he set, we will only die!” Zhu An’an said seriously. She did not care, but she could not let Ning Caichen fall into a trap. That was an outcome she did not want to see.

Jiang Ming stared at the girl’s face and smiled.

“Don’t worry. It’s not easy to scheme against me. Gongye Jiu might be a skilled tactician, but I’m not someone who can be provoked into action. It’s unrealistic to scheme against me.”

Jiang Ming smiled again.

Gonye Jiu was foolish if he thought that Jiang Ming would fall for such simple tricks!

Jiang Ming quickly put the matter aside and rushed to another destination. It was another town in the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. Unlike Dragon’s Gate Town, this was already a city-state in terms of administrative level.

“We’ve reached Martial Dragon City! This city-state is the largest city-state in the southern region of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. If we come here, Bai Ruoning and Su Ruoning won’t be able to find us for a while.”

Zhu An’an grinned.

Jiang Ming laughed, shook his head, and said, “The reason why I came here is not to prevent Bai Ruoning and Su Ruoning from finding me; it’s to allow some people to follow me. Isn’t that right, Princess?”

Zhu An’an was startled. She turned around and saw a group of people appear. The person in the lead was the princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom.

“Why is the princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom here? Why didn’t I notice anything along the way!”

Zhu An’an’s expression changed drastically.

“They thought that they had quietly followed me, but they didn’t know that I was aware of them for a while. My original intention was to lure them out. An’an, you don’t have to overthink. I did it on purpose.”

Jiang Ming spoke calmly. The reason why he deliberately lured the other party out was very clear. He wanted to take the other party down directly.

But now, it seemed that the situation was completely different from what he imagined.

“We actually lured the two of them over, but Bai Ruoning didn’t come. What’s going on?”

Looking at the Mo brothers not far away, Jiang Ming subconsciously raised his eyebrows a few times and glanced at them unhappily.

He did not mess with them.

Jiang Ming quickly shook his head and decided to ignore them for now. His eyes fell on the front again.

“Your Highness, you’ve been following me all the way here. If you’re tired, you can take a break, and we can talk again.”

The princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom looked displeased. She thought Jiang Ming was going straight to the capital of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, but he stopped at Martial Dragon City. Most importantly, he had obviously noticed her following them!

In fact, he had deliberately lured her here!

“B*stard, how dare you deceive me? You really should just die!”
