Chapter 454: The prince wants to see me?
“I heard Mr. Kong say that your boy has made great progress!”
Jing Hongchen held a rather mechanical tea cup in his hand, which was actually porcelain, and tasted it briefly. After enjoying the taste of the tea inside, he looked at Ming Jiang sitting on the sofa opposite and said softly.
Ming Jiang smiled and waved his hand, and said modestly: "No, no, this is all due to the good teaching from Mr. Kong and the recommendation from the hall master, otherwise how could I have made such great progress? "
As he spoke, Ming Jiang stood up from the sofa, took out a gold card, and placed it on the table in front of Jing Hongchen.
"This is?"
Jing Hongchen glanced at the gold card and frowned slightly.
Ming Jiang said softly: "During the auction, didn't I borrow some gold soul coins from the hall master? It's been two years, and I just have some spare money on hand. I want to use the money I owe you to the hall master. "Repay the gold soul coins."
Originally, Mingjiang wanted to repay the money after the last auction, but at that time he was busy studying the ninth-level soul guide given by Kong Deming. The core array also had to fight against the aristocratic forces in Mingdu as well as the hunting forces of the Holy Spirit Sect and Mingdetang. I was so busy that I forgot about it.
But now, those things came to an end, and he remembered this matter.
"Take it away."
Jing Hongchen looked unhappy.
“I still need some gold soul coins from you?”
When he lent this money, Jing Hongchen never thought about taking it from Mingjiang. return.
We will all be a family from now on!
Ming Jiang shook his head and said with a serious face: "Hall Master, you are definitely not short of such a few gold soul coins, but I can't accept it with peace of mind just because you are not short. As the saying goes, if you borrow something, you must pay it back. It’s not difficult to borrow again. I might have trouble with the Hall Master in the future. Hall Master, you’d better accept the money.”
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen raised his head and glanced at Ming Jiang. , seeing Ming Jiang's serious look, he reluctantly nodded and put the gold card into his storage soul guide.
If it weren’t for the fact that the outside world can train people, Ming Jiang didn’t know anything about worldliness before.
But now, it is necessary to understand a little bit.
"I will accept the money, but you are also in the critical period of promotion to the ninth level soul engineer. If you are short of money, just tell me."
Jing Hongchen reminded.
The soul mentor profession is a profession that has a strong ability to make money, but an equally terrible ability to spend money!
A high-end soul tool can easily cost several million gold soul coins. But when a soul master buys those rare metals, especially rare metals that can make eighth-level or ninth-level soul guides, he is throwing away a lot of money.
After all, no soul master can say that he has a 100% success rate when making soul guides. There is always some probability of failure. If it fails, it will waste more than just a little money.
Hearing Jing Hongchen’s words, Ming Jiang nodded and agreed, but he had no intention of borrowing money from Jing Hongchen anymore.
Why?
He is about to be promoted to a ninth-level soul master. By then, the character Ming Jiang will have evaporated. Naturally, he will not be able to borrow money from Jing Hongchen.
Ming Jiang chatted with Jing Hongchen in Jing Hongchen's office for a while. When Ming Jiang was about to get up and leave, Jing Hongchen suddenly said: "Ming Jiang, if you have nothing to do recently, please don't leave Mingde Hall."
Ming Jiang was shocked.
Could it be that Jing Hongchen discovered something?
"The guy who snatched the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo from our Mingde Hall in the past six months has appeared again. He has robbed nearly a hundred soul masters. The law enforcement team in Mingdu has not caught him yet. After catching him Before, it was very dangerous outside.”
Speaking of this, Jing Hongchen’s face was filled with sadness.
The royal law enforcement team, Mingdetang, and Holy Spirit Cult, these three parties together, can really rummage through the entire city from light to dark, from outside to inside, But I just can’t catch this guy!
However, both the royal family and the Holy Spirit Cult attach great importance to this strong man with super spatial ability!
The royal family needs to catch him and ask him where the three level nine custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells came from. The people from the Holy Spirit Cult want to torture him and ask him where he has captured everyone. You know, the Holy Spirit Cult is missing. Among them, there is even a titled Douluo, an elder at the level of ninth-level soul master!
As for the theft of the treasure troves of the nobles in the Ming capital, it was relatively no big deal.
“You haven’t caught it yet?”
Ming Jiang frowned suddenly, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
“What kind of extraordinary ability does this guy have that he can hide for such a long time!”
Jing Hongchen rubbed his head and said with a headache: “This guy is very accomplished in space. , and his cultivation is at least above that of Super Douluo! Even if an ordinary soul master encounters him, he can't catch him at all, and it's really strange that he can't catch him! It was said that it was relatively normal to snatch 100,000-year-old embryos in Mingde Hall before, but now this guy even robs the treasure troves of nobles like Mingdu, and even robs people. This kind of style is really a bit of a super Douluo. No shame!”
Ming Jiang nodded and said solemnly: "Indeed, this Super Douluo is so shameless!"
Being scolded this Super Douluo, Ming Jiang felt no emotion in his heart.
The person who steals things and robs people is a Super Douluo. What does it have to do with me, a Contra?
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. Just don't go out during this period. When he shows up again next time, someone will take care of him, so you don't have to worry about it then."
Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice.
"Well, I know."
Ming Jiang nodded, saying that he knew, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
Someone will deal with him?
Jing Hongchen seemed very confident when he said this!
However, the strength he showed was that of a super Douluo with powerful spatial abilities!
To put it bluntly, even if Mr. Xuan takes action, he may not be able to catch a space-type super Douluo.
A strong man of the same level wants to arrest someone, unless he is restrained by a martial spirit!
But to be able to restrain space system abilities, one must be a super Douluo, and there are not many in the entire Douluo Continent.
Did Kong Deming take action himself? Or will there be a leader-level figure from the Holy Spirit Church?
Based on Ming Jiang’s understanding in Mingdu in the past few years, the only space system title Douluo who wants to steadily suppress the super Douluo’s cultivation is these two people.
It seems that he can't show his face recently
Ming Jiang secretly decided in his heart that even if the tool man assembly line in the small world lacks raw materials, he will not cause trouble. To avoid capsizing the boat due to wet shoes and gutter by the river.
Thinking about this, Ming Jiang planned to get up and leave.
After these few months of study, he is only one step away from being a ninth-level soul master. His ultimate goal of coming to Mingdu and Mingde Hall as an undercover agent is about to succeed.
It’s just that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop.
When Ming Jiang just spent a month completing his first level nine soul tool, something happened.
"Mingjiang, the prince wants to see you."
Prince!
"Hall Master, does the prince have anything to do with me?"
Ming Jiang asked with some confusion.
Although he has stayed in Mingdu these years, he has basically only had contact with people from Mingdetang, and has never had any contact with people at the imperial prince level like the prince.
It was so sudden that the prince suddenly wanted to see him. It was definitely impossible to say that there was nothing wrong.
"You will know if you come with me."
Jing Hongchen didn't say anything more, but led Ming Jiang directly outside the laboratory.
Not long after, Mingjiang came to a luxurious hotel. The corridor was filled with soldiers wearing strong armor. These soldiers were all dressed in silver armor and looked very mighty and majestic. At first glance, they were the Imperial Guards of the Sun and Moon Empire.
In addition to these silver-armored soldiers, there is also a group of soldiers wearing light armor. Most of them are over thirty years old, with a calm demeanor, standing among the imperial guards.
Soul Master, a fully armed soul master!
The armor on their bodies is clearly soul guide armor. The equipment on them all looks standard, but is extremely sophisticated.
In addition to these, Ming Jiang's mental power also keenly felt that there were several powerful aura feedbacks around him.
These auras are all powerful ones with titles of Douluo or above at least!
According to the configuration of the powerful Titled Douluo here in the Sun Moon Empire, a soul master who has reached the level of Titled Douluo is very likely to be a ninth-level soul master!
In other words, the prince is not only protected by the Imperial Guards and the Soul Engineer Team, but also by several ninth-level soul engineers.
This specification.
Mingjiang's eyes were slightly focused, observing the surrounding environment, but the expression on his face did not change much.
With his current strength, unless Extreme Douluo intervenes to stop him, it would be unrealistic to capture him even with the size of the people around him.
Walking through the long corridor, the two came to the door of a room.
The captain of the Imperial Guard guarding the door is a strong man with Contra cultivation. He has a serious and square face. Even if he does not deliberately target him, he will unconsciously reveal a terrifying aura.
But after seeing Jing Hongchen and Ming Jiang coming, he opened the door respectfully.
Ever since the last incident in Mingde Hall and being saved by Prince Xu Tianran, Jing Hongchen has become a person of the Prince and can be trusted.
"Please!"
Entering the room, Ming Jiang immediately saw the figure sitting in a wheelchair by the window.
This is the first heir to the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran!
As if feeling Ming Jiang's gaze, Xu Tianran turned his head slightly, looked at Ming Jiang, and stretched out his hand to say hello.
“Master, I.”
Ming Jiang looked a little confused and looked at Jing Hongchen.
"It's okay, go ahead, His Royal Highness wants to talk to you."
With that said, Jing Hongchen sat directly on the sofa in the room, closing his eyes slightly, like an old monk in meditation.
Seeing this, Ming Jiang nodded and walked towards the window.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
Ming Jiang bowed slightly as a salute.
"How dare you not kneel down when you see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The captain of the Imperial Guard standing at the door shouted in a deep voice.
Ming Jiang glanced at the captain of the Imperial Guard, then turned to look at Xu Tianran in the wheelchair, and said solemnly:
"Your Highness, I don't like to kneel down and bow down."< br>
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little solemn.
Generally speaking, if you are a citizen of the Sun and Moon Empire, even a soul master, when you see Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, you must kneel down and bow down.
Unless you are a person with a particularly noble status and powerful strength, such as the master of Mingde Hall, or someone who is enshrined by the royal family, you are exempted from kneeling down and paying homage.
Xu Tianran, who was in a wheelchair, narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Ming Jiang's words, but there was a warm smile on his face.
"It's okay. If you don't like it, then don't use it."
In one sentence, he directly showed his magnanimity as a prince.
Hearing this, the captain of the Imperial Guard at the door said nothing more and continued to stand back.
Beside the window, Xu Tianran turned his head and looked through the window sill to the outside world.
His eyes were very calm, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
“Mingjiang, I heard that you were a former student of Shrek Academy’s inner courtyard?”
Ming Jiang nodded and replied: "Yes, I used to be an inner disciple of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy."
There was no evasion at all.
Xu Tianran smiled slightly and said: "Then, which one do you think is better, the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy or the Shrek Academy?"
Is this a test? ?
Ming Jiang secretly thought in his heart.
He didn't think much and answered directly: "If it's the training of soul masters, Shrek Academy is better. If it's the training of soul masters, there is a big difference between Shrek Academy and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
< br>This is a fact.
Xu Tianran nodded slightly, with the warm smile still on his face.
"Then where would you rather stay?"
Hearing this, a self-deprecating smile flashed across Ming Jiang's lips: "Ming Jiang, you can't go back to Shrek Academy anymore. There is no need to go back.”
The corners of Xu Tianran's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.
He comforted him:
"Mingjiang, you don't have to be so heavy. Shrek doesn't value you, but our Sun and Moon Empire values you! With your talent, in our Sun and Moon The empire will definitely shine!"
Ming Jiang bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xu Tianran waved his hand and said, "Actually, you and I don't have to be so restrained, Jing. Hongchen Hall Master said that you are a young hero and may become the youngest ninth-level soul master in the history of soul masters. I am really looking forward to it."
Hearing this, Ming Jiang couldn't help but glance at Jing Hongchen behind him.
So, it was Jing Hongchen who recommended him to Xu Tianran?
Ming Jiang and Xu Tianran didn't chat for long, but left after less than half an hour.
During this period, Xu Tianran basically controlled the rhythm of the conversation, and Ming Jiang mostly echoed Xu Tianran's topics.
But what makes Mingjiang a little strange is that Xu Tianran met him specifically and talked about trivial matters in life and praised his talent, but there was nothing substantial about it. thing.
Jing Hongchen did not come out with Ming Jiang, but stayed in that room.
"What do you think of Mingjiang, Your Highness?"
Jing Hongchen stood up, walked behind Xu Tianran, and asked softly.
Xu Tianran said slowly:
"His talent is really strong, which makes me a little jealous."
"But if you can master this kind of genius, your future plans will be much smoother."
