Chapter 378: An Unexpected Invitation!
Ning Zhe was stuffy in the room for three days, and it was not until Ao Xingfang's men came to the prince's mansion to invite Ning Zhe and his party to the banquet that Ao Jiang and the others had to wake him up. Rainbow Literature Network, with you all the way! Because Ning Zhe had said before the retreat that he must wake him up after three days, he didn't want to miss this best opportunity to learn about this space.
When Ning Zhe came to the gate, he found that Ao Shouzheng was standing by the door waiting, and at this time, he no longer had the previous arrogance on his face, only double respect. Ning Zhe's heart suddenly felt a little funny, and he said to Ao Shouzheng: "How dare you have Lao Shizi waiting here." ”
Ao Shouzheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where, Lord Ning is too polite." Shouzheng is waiting for Lord Ning here, and wants to go to the Sea God Temple with you. ”
Ning Zhe nodded slightly, and was no longer polite to him, raised his feet and followed the person outside, and Ao Shouzheng and his party also hurriedly followed him.
When they came to the Sea God Temple, the Sea God Temple was already full of people, and this time there were many people invited by the South China Sea Holy Lord, and the people who wanted to come to the South China Sea Holy City had come to participate in this banquet.
Seeing the arrival of Ning Zhe and his party, Ao Shouyi, who was sitting inside, suddenly became a little unnatural, he just wanted to get up, but somehow sat down slowly, and he didn't dare to look in the direction of Ning Zhe.
"Shouyi, if you want to earn back the lost points from your father, then you must treat this Ning Zhe with courtesy. What are you afraid of if you lose some face, if you let Ao Shouzheng take the position, I'm afraid your life won't be saved. An old voice sounded in Ao Shouyi's ears.
Hearing the old man's words, Ao Shouyi couldn't sit still, he stood up abruptly and rushed to Ning Zhe's side, bowing deeply to Ning Zhe.
Chi Er and the others, who were standing behind Ning Zhe, saw Ao Shouyi rushing over, and at the same time made defensive moves, blocking in front of Ning Zhe, they subconsciously thought that Ao Shouyi wanted to be unfavorable to Ning Zhe.
However, when they saw Ao Shouyi bowing deeply to Ning Zhe, everyone was stunned, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine this great prince was selling in the gourd. At this time, Ao Shouyi's face was also flushed, and he held back for a long time before saying: "Lord Ning, the previous thing was that Shouyi was wrong, please don't be weird!"
At this time, the people present realized that this Ao Shouyi had come to apologize to Ning Zhe, and those who knew about this matter couldn't help but secretly praise Ao Shouyi for daring to act, with a hint of the demeanor of a Nanhai monk. People who didn't know about this matter, or people who didn't know Ning Zhe, were shocked by this scene. In their hearts, Ao Shouyi is used to being rampant and domineering, except for a few people, where can I see him being soft to others. What is the origin of this black-clothed young man, who can actually let Ao Shouyi treat him like this.
Ning Zhe looked around the scene for a week, and in the depths of the main hall, he seemed to feel a strong spiritual power fluctuation, thinking that it was the South China Sea Holy Lord, even if he looked down on Ao Shouyi, but his father was the South China Sea Holy Lord after all, and he still had to give the other party a little face.
Thinking of this, he smiled and helped Ao Shouyi up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, the past is over, let's just look forward together!"
Ao Shouyi's face suddenly showed a trace of gratitude, he originally thought that Ning Zhe would take this opportunity to humiliate him in front of everyone, but he didn't expect Ning Zhe to say this.
And just as Ning Zhe's words fell, a burst of laughter sounded behind the screen in the depths of the main hall, and the laughter became higher and higher, and an old man in white turned out from behind the screen, and it was Ao Xingfang.
At this time, Ao Xing was full of smiles, and everything that happened at the gate of the main hall just now was seen by him. Although he also believed Ao Yuan's evaluation of Ning Zhe before, it was a false hearing after all. Now that he saw Ning Zhe's attitude towards Ao Shouyi with his own eyes, he believed that Ning Zhe was indeed a big-minded person, and he had just used a secret method to detect Ning Zhe's cultivation, and indeed as Ao Yuan said, although Ning Zhe's cultivation was not high, there was a strange spiritual power fluctuation on his body, which he had never felt in others.
Ignoring the greetings and salutes of the people next to him, Ao Xingfang came straight to Ning Zhe's side, and said to Ning Zhe with a smile: "You are Ning Zhe, your name has also made the old man thunderous these days, haha......"
In the face of this South China Sea Holy Lord, Ning Zhe did not have the slightest stage fright, you must know that Ao Jiang beside him is the Holy Lord of the Endless Sea East Sea Holy City, and the Holy Lord of Ao Jiang is even more powerful than Ao Xingfang, I don't know how many times.
"Lord Ao is polite, I'm just at the right time. Ning Zhe chuckled.
Ao Xingfang saw Ning Zhe's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, the smile on his face faded slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, come, let's take a seat." ”
After speaking, he didn't pay any attention to Ning Zhe, but turned around and sat down in the middle of the main hall. The attendant next to him hurriedly took a step forward and said aloud to the people below, "Your Excellency the Holy Lord has a will, open the banquet!"
Hearing the waiter's words, everyone sat down one after another, and Ning Zhe also sat down on a seat in front of him under the guidance of a waiter, and Ao Jiang, the three elders of the Chi clan and others sat next to him.
The staggering of the banquet was naturally inevitable, but everyone saw Ning Zhe's attitude towards Ao Xingfang just now, so no one came forward to toast Ning Zhe. Only Ao Shouyi and Ao Shouzheng came to Ning Zhe's table one after the other to toast, and then left in a hurry.
After three rounds of drinking, Ao Xingfang's face turned cold, and he put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and then coughed lightly.
Hearing Ao Xingfang's cough, the originally noisy and frolicking hall instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on him. Ning Zhe's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Ao Jiang next to him, and then put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the once-in-a-century Arena Tournament is about to begin, and in the previous Arena Tournaments, although our Nanhai Holy City did not come to the bottom, it did not win the first place. This time in the arena conference, our South China Sea Holy City must come out with a team with absolute strength, and then go to the arena conference, and shock the people of their three major holy cities, haha......" Ao Xingfang became more and more excited the more he spoke, and in the end, he actually laughed.
Ning Zhe's brows furrowed slightly, this arena meeting was similar to the Four Seas conference when he was in the Endless Sea. The four holy cities all participate together, and each holy city sends a team to compete, and it is also based on the final results to determine the distribution of forces in this space. Thinking of all the things he had encountered before, a thought came to his mind more and more, a thought that made him feel a little incredible.
And after Ao Xingfang's words were finished, the monks in the main hall were also excited, and everyone's faces showed eager expressions, even Ao Shouyi and Ao Shouzheng's eyes flashed with complicated eyes, thinking that if their cultivation was advanced enough, they would definitely sign up to participate in this so-called arena conference.
But Ao Xingfang's eyes were not on them, but kept staring at Ning Zhe, who was sitting behind the seat, and waited until the voice in the main hall was a little quieter, and then he said with a smile: "Ning Daoyou, since you have come to my South China Sea Holy City, you are a member of my South China Sea Holy City, and you will definitely not shirk if you want to come to my South China Sea Holy City." ”
It was only at this time that Ning Zhe understood why the Holy Lord of the South China Sea, Ao Xingfang, invited him to participate in this banquet, it turned out to be this idea.
He was silent for a moment before he stood up and shook his head with a smile and said, "Holy Lord Ao, you must be wrong, we just happened to be passing by here, and we don't have the slightest obligation to serve the Holy City of the South China Sea. What's more, the cultivation of our group is too low and too low, and going to the arena conference is only the bottom, and I hope you don't make it difficult for others. ”
Although Ning Zhe's words were a little self-deprecating, they also showed his intention to refuse, and everyone present was shocked. Hearing the conversation between Ao Xingfang and Ning Zhe just now, they all thought that Ning Zhe was a guest invited by the Holy Lord, but they never thought that things would actually turn out like this, you must know that countless years have passed, and no one has ever dared to contradict him in front of Ao Xingfang.
Seeing that Ning Zhe rejected him without hesitation, Ao Xing's last smile finally disappeared, and he picked up the wine glass on the table again, took a sip lightly, and then opened his mouth and said: "Ning Zhe, your origin, in fact, I don't need to tell you, I also know it clearly." ”
"What?" Hearing his words, the hearts of Ning Zhe and Ao Jiang suddenly jumped, could it be that this Ao Xingfang really knew something?
"Hmph, every once in a while, some people will come to this space from the outside, and they will be looking for the relics of the Sea Emperor. It's really unreasonable, there is only the great Lord Seagod here, where did the Sea Emperor come from. I think you are also here for the so-called Sea Emperor Ruins, I might as well tell you that if you want to get the so-called Sea Emperor Ruins, the battle of the arena is the only chance, you have to hurry up......" Ao Xingfang looked at Ning Zhe and said meaningfully.
It was only at this time that Ning Zhe finally believed Ao Xingfang's words, because of the matter of the Sea Emperor Ruins, except for a few of them who had the Sea Emperor Pearl, even Chi Yi and Chi Er were not very clear. Where did this Ao Xingfang know about it? The only explanation is that the people in this space do know something about the Sea Emperor's ruins.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhe's face suddenly became gloomy, and the essence in his eyes shot straight into Ao Xingfang's face......
