"Kill him and hang his head on the city wall of Cloud Sky City." Ximen Ju pointed at the triangular-eyed man and said indifferently.
"Yes!" Instantly, two black-robed warriors stepped forward and were about to drag the triangular-eyed man out to kill him.
"Spare my life, Ximen Steward, spare my life!" The triangular-eyed man was so terrified that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed desperately.
A look of disgust flashed across Ximen Ju's eyes. Without even looking, he flicked his sleeve lightly.
"Puff …" A few meters away, the triangular-eyed man's brain instantly turned into a pile of mud and he died completely.
Everyone in the restaurant held their breaths. Some even couldn't hold back their urge to pee and were about to vomit.
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Ximen Ju. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They didn't know Ximen Ju's prestige in Cloud Sky City, but now they finally knew.
Yang Dingtian didn't expect Ximen Ju to walk directly to his and Ximen Ningning's table.
His heart skipped a beat and his eyebrows trembled slightly.
Ningning's small hand immediately grasped Yang Dingtian's hand tightly and then gently shook it.
"I was going to the Metal Sword Fort for official business, but I didn't expect to see Miss Qin here. Hence, I specially came to greet you." Ximen Ju stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ximen Ningning. "Can I sit down?"
"No." Ximen Ningning said, "Please help yourself, Ximen Steward. Don't disturb our meal."
"Two years ago, I had a hurried meeting with Miss Qin in the Northwest Qin City. I didn't expect to meet you here today. Miss Qin, what brings you to my Cloud Sky City territory?" Ximen Ju sat down opposite her and asked.
Ximen Ningning said, "I'm just passing by."
"Oh."
Ximen Ju's gaze landed on Yang Dingtian's face and looked up and down several times. His gaze was as though he wanted to peel off a person's skin. Then, he asked indifferently, "May I know your surname?"
"Ning Que." Yang Dingtian said proudly.
"Forgive me for not recognizing you, but I don't have any impression of Mr. Ning. This is very strange. Mr. Ning is such a talent. If I had seen you, I definitely wouldn't have forgotten you." Ximen Ju said, "Where are you from?"
"South Sea, Ning Family." Yang Dingtian.
"Tens of thousands of miles away. That's really tough."
Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth, and then he said, "The two of you have to be careful on your journey."
After that, Ximen Ju stood up and left. Only when his back view could no longer be seen did everyone in the restaurant gasp for breath. However, they still didn't dare to speak loudly.
Just as Yang Dingtian was about to speak, Ningning pinched his thigh and wrote on Yang Dingtian's thigh, "He left two people behind."
"Humph, what's the big deal?" Ximen Ningning pretended to be indifferent and said coldly.
"What did he mean by that last sentence? Was he threatening us?" Yang Dingtian asked.
After that, the two of them hurriedly finished their meal and went upstairs to the guest room. They wanted to pretend to take an afternoon nap to avoid Ximen Ju and the others.
"I want a room, the best one," Ximen Ningning said, then threw out a few gold coins. She wanted one room, not two.
"Yes, Miss." The innkeeper immediately brought the two of them to the best room in the east with great hospitality.
It was indeed the best room. In the exquisite and majestic room, everything was luxurious and superior, whether it was the bonsai in the corner, the carpet under their feet, or even the expensive jade flower sandalwood incense.
"What is Ximen Ju doing here?" Yang Dingtian asked, "Is he here to persuade the Metal Sword Fortress to support Qin Shaobai?"
"Logically speaking, that should be the case," Ximen Ningning said.
"Ximen Ju decided to marry Tang Xin, which means that he is standing on the Yang Family's side. Therefore, it means that he also supports Qin Shaobai's ascension.
But in reality, I can't see through this person. This person is very scheming. When Foster Father was here, he could still be controlled. Now that Foster Father is gone, there shouldn't be anyone in Cloud Sky City who can control him. "
"Could it be that he has his own motives?
He wants to become the Cloud Sky City Lord himself? "Yang Dingtian asked.
"I can't see through him," Ximen Ningning said.
Ximen Ningning said, "In public knowledge, among the young experts in Cloud Sky City, Black Blood Cavalry Commander Ximen Lie is the undisputed number one.
But I always have a feeling that Ximen Ju is the most powerful among Foster Father's foster sons. It's just that he is good at hiding.
As for how powerful he is, I can't guess.
Therefore, your opponent in a year and a half definitely can't just focus on Ximen Yan. You have to focus on Ximen Ju and Qin Shaobai. "
Yang Dingtian suddenly recalled the scene just now. Ximen Ju only lightly flicked his sleeve and smashed that triangular-eyed man's head from more than ten meters away. It was indeed a terrifying strength.
Thinking about Ximen Ju's strange gaze and his words, Yang Dingtian asked, "Could it be that Ximen Ju discovered our flaw?
His tone is very strange. "
"He is too scheming, so it is very difficult to tell what he is thinking from his actions and words," Ximen Ningning said.
"Therefore, I also don't know if he is suspicious of us or if he is just pretending."
"Has he seen Qin Hongmian before?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"He should have. He represented Foster Father to go to Northwest Qin City a few times," Ximen Ningning said.
"We just want two demon cores. I hope he won't bring us any trouble …" Before Yang Dingtian could finish his sentence, Ximen Ningning's delicate body suddenly pounced on him. Her jade-like arms wrapped around Yang Dingtian's neck like a snake, and her face pressed against Yang Dingtian's.
The whole process was very sudden. Yang Dingtian's nose was instantly filled with a delicate fragrance, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
"There is someone outside …" Ximen Ningning let out an infatuated voice while whispering in Yang Dingtian's ear, "It is someone sent by Ximen Ju. He is suspicious of us. Hurry up and put on an act …"
"Qin Hongmian is a very absurd woman. If we don't put on an act and arouse Ximen Ju's suspicion, not only will our plan be ruined, but our lives will also be in danger. This is not Cloud Heaven City. Once we arouse his suspicion, he will definitely kill us."
Ningning bent down and whispered in his ear, "Little Tian, just treat this as a dream."
Although nothing really happened, to Yang Dingtian, it was still a perilous situation!
