The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Ruan Xiaojiu and the others were no longer in the mood to eat and returned to the guest room.

The man stood aside calmly, no longer showing his cowardice and embarrassment.

Xiao Zeming lay on the bed, his body sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

Ruan Xiaojiu and the other two were sitting around the table looking at the man whose expression changed so quickly. Seeing how calm he was now, the embarrassment he had just felt from being chased was gone.

Ruan Siqi looked at the man in front of her and was extremely curious about his origins.

Ye Tingshen looked at the man and fell into deep thought. He seemed to have seen this man somewhere before, and his face looked very familiar to him.

"Who are you? Looking at your current appearance, you were chased by that group of people on the street just now, and you were in such a mess, it must be fake, right? You should not be from Ningxiang Pavilion!" Ruan Xiaojiu asked, supporting his chin with one hand.

"Of course I'm not from Ningxiang Pavilion, but I was indeed abducted and sold to Ningxiang Pavilion by bad people. It's also true that I escaped from Ningxiang Pavilion. However, I'm not a slave."

"I can see that you don't look like a slave." Ruan Xiaojiu said.

"But if you have the ability to escape, why let others think you're weak? Why not just run away yourself?"

"I'm so weak!"

Ruan Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow. "You mean, you deliberately pretended to be timid in front of those people? Instead of being clearly weak but acting calm and not taking those people seriously?"

The man smiled and said, "Not really."

"So what do you mean? You were acting so timid just now, but now you're a completely different person. Do you think we won't do anything to you?"

"Of course not."

Ruan Xiaojiu narrowed her eyes, "Are you playing dumb with me?"

Seeing Ruan Xiaojiu getting angry, the man quickly said, "Your guards have absorbed my family's heirloom. Just for this, shouldn't you be protecting me and leaving here?"

"We haven't blamed you yet. Your bead entered the body of my guard without our consent! And you still want us to protect you? Are you crazy?"

Ruan Siqi didn't want Ruan Xiaojiu to meddle in this matter in the first place, but now, that broken bead has entered Xiao Zeming's body. She doesn't know whether it will bring any benefits, but now the trouble is right in front of her.

"Are you Rong Jialuo, the third prince of Mingyue Kingdom?" Ye Tingshen suddenly asked.

When the man heard Ye Tingshen say his name accurately, he looked at Ye Tingshen in confusion, "Do you know me?"

When Ye Tingshen heard him ask this, he immediately confirmed his identity.

"Why were you sold here? Aren't you a prince? Who dares to treat you like this?" Ye Tingshen asked.

"It's my eldest brother. Seeing that my father valued me, he was afraid that I would threaten his position as the crown prince. So when I was out, he hired a group of assassins to kidnap me here and sold me to Ningxiang Pavilion." He gritted his teeth when he said this.

Ruan Xiaojiu piqued his interest upon hearing this. "Are you the prince of Mingyue Country? What kind of place is Ningxiang Pavilion, and why would your eldest brother choose to sell you here?"

Rong Jialuo pursed her lips, obviously not wanting to talk anymore.

However, he saw that several people were staring at him, and he knew he couldn't hide away, so he said with difficulty, "That's the young steward."

Everyone was shocked, "Your eldest brother is so cruel." Ruan Xiaojiu said with a smile.

"You've been to Ningxiang Pavilion. What exactly is that place? Are they very powerful? What kind of person is their Pavilion Master? Do you know all this?"

Ruan Siqi asked a series of questions, and the man's face was indifferent. "It's just a bunch of rabble, providing a place for merchants from various countries and some dignitaries to entertain themselves when they pass by." Rong Jialuo said sullenly.

"Don't they have powerful backers? A bar here wouldn't be able to stay open for this long without a strong backer, right?"

"Of course they have backers. I don't know what kind of power their backers are, but many people really can't afford to offend them." Rong Jialuo replied.

"There are only four of us, and we dare not confront a powerful force. If you are not of greater use, I will hand you over when the Pavilion Master comes." Ruan Xiaojiu said.

"Are you threatening me?" Rong Jialuo's face darkened.

Ruan Xiaojiu also put away her smile, "If you want me to protect you, you'd better show your sincerity. I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me."

Rong Jialuo lowered her eyes, "Didn't I give the jade beads to you? What else do you want?"

"You should tell us what you can give us?" Ruan Xiaojiu looked at him with an increasingly fiery gaze.

Rong Jialuo stopped talking. He didn't know what else he could give them.

Ruan Xiaojiu was very patient and picked up the tea and started drinking it.

Ruan Siqi understood what was going on, but Ruan Xiaojiu was just that kind of person, and he couldn't change her. So he could only drink his tea patiently.

Ruan Xiaojiu likes every handsome man she sees, which makes him feel very threatened.
