As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills - Chapter 913
913 Test
“However, you have to pass my rest. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave.”
“Stop playing tricks!”
Jiang Ming did not like this kind of behavior, so he immediately conjured some spikes in his palm.
The spikes pierced into every corner of the room.
A cry of pain was heard.
Jiang Ming nodded.
He did not really stick the spikes into the painting.
If the voice was really coming from that painting, it would not have let out such a painful cry.
Following the voice, he walked to a corner.
In the corner was a child dressed like a beggar.
The child had braided hair. When he saw that Jiang Ming had discovered him, he quickly wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
This time, Jiang Ming was afraid that the child would run away, so he tied the child up.
In his opinion, this method of binding was simple and would not go wrong.
“Hey, can you not tie me up? I’m terrified of being tied up. If you do this, I’ll have difficulty controlling the demonic energy in my body.”
The child grimaced in pain and shouted.
Jiang Ming did not waver. He tied the child tighter and asked the question he wanted to ask.
“What exactly is in this courtyard? How many rooms are there inside?”
The child was confused. He quickly shouted at Jiang Ming. “I don’t understand.”
Then, he found it strange.
“Why are you here? This is the resting place that the king built for us beasts. You will definitely be bullied by us if you come here. We have never been willing to let others enter our territory. If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and leave. Don’t disturb the rest of us beasts.”
“So, this is actually something that the idiot king created? How boring.”
Sikong Wuyuan smiled, feeling a little incredulous.
Jiang Ming was silent for a moment and then asked again, “Then why did the king raise you? Don’t you know the reason?”
“Doesn’t he want to eat us? We have accepted it. It doesn’t matter if we die sooner or later.”
The child shrugged indifferently.
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but want to laugh.
“You guys are really something else. Are you going to become someone else’s food just like that? Don’t you want to fight back?”
“What can we do? If we leave this kingdom, we’ll die anyway. On top of that, the king will order us to be killed if we try to leave. We don’t want to live in fear.”
The child looked dejected.
“Why don’t you guys rest well? Then, you might be able to defeat that cruel king.”
Sikong Wuyuan was about to encourage the child when the house suddenly shook. The child also became nervous.
“That person is here. If he finds out that I’m talking to you, he’ll kill me.”
Jiang Ming was confused.
“Who is that person?”
The child started crying.
“He’s already here.”
“Why are you here, Lord Ning Caichen?”
Li Nanchu clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan, his tone clearly displeased.
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and realized that Li Nanchu wanted to do something to the child in front of him.
He immediately blocked him and said, “Why would you do something bad to a child? I was the one who caused all this. You don’t have to punish him.”
The child burst into tears.
“Thank you, Lord Ning Caichen!”
Li Nanchu’s expression turned cold.
“Lord Ning Caichen, that’s true, but this child has told you too much information. He should die. I hope you will not mind me educating my subordinates.”
“Is he really your subordinate? He’s just your nourishment.”
“This child is already mine. You’re not allowed to touch him.”
Jiang Ming still wanted to stop Li Nanchu.
Li Nanchu thought of his grand plan and could only take a step back.
“Alright then, I’ll give this child to you. However, you haven’t answered me yet. Why did you come here? This is not a place for fun.”
Li Nanchu was obviously nervous when he said this.
He had buried a huge secret here. If Ning Caichen found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“We were just strolling around,” Jiang Ming said indifferently. “We saw that the courtyard here was quite exquisite, so we came here. What’s wrong? Aren’t you willing to let us come here for a visit?”
“Not really. It’s just that there’s nothing to see here. Moreover, there are only some beasts here. They are naughty and mischievous. Who knows what they might do to you? I think you should go somewhere else. I’ll take you away now.”
Jiang Ming did not say anything and nodded.
Sikong Wuyuan wanted to say something but was stopped by Jiang Ming.
When they returned to the courtyard, Li Nanchu said, “I’ll send someone to deliver some things to keep you entertained. Don’t worry. After tomorrow is the Moonlight Gala. When the time comes, the three of you should come and have fun. It’ll also relieve your boredom.”
“Alright, we’ll go.”
Jiang Ming nodded again.
Yuan Hehe, who was watching from the side, felt strange.
Did not they go to the courtyard to check something out? How could they have been brought back by Li Nanchu?
Li Nanchu was not a good person. Also, where did this child come from?
He saw the child. The child thought that Yuan Hehe was Jiang Ming’s playmate and gave him a friendly smile.
Yuan Hehe smiled back at him. He seemed friendly, but he was not.
He felt that this child was not a good person.
After Li Nanchu left, Yuan Hehe eagerly asked about the matter.
Sikong Wuyuan told him everything that had happened. Yuan Hehe said angrily, “There must be something in that courtyard. Otherwise, why would Li Nanchu be so nervous?”
“We can’t go over now. Even if we find Li Nanchu, he’ll still be secretive. We need to wait.”
Jiang Ming made up his mind.
The child did not say anything. After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he took out a ring from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Ming.
“This thing might help you understand. I think you should stay here and study this ring.”
