Chapter 309: National Scholar Lihua

Ning Mingmei followed the waiter and after a while, he frowned and asked, "Where are we going?"

"The owner has been interested in Mr. Kong's business for a long time and wants to chat with him in the garden."

Ning Mingmei finally understood.

They walked along the winding path, and what appeared in front of Ning Mingmei was a villa. The owner of Zhaoye Mountain, dressed in white, waited for a long time in front of the garden. When he saw Ning Mingmei coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Kong, I have heard of you for a long time!"

"I have long heard of Master Zhao's great name." Ning Mingmei returned the greeting.

He glanced at Zhao Ye. Two hundred years have left no trace on Lian Chengyue's face, but instead made him look more stable and mature. If it weren't for those shrewd eyes, this vest would really look a bit like Qi Miancheng's.

"I heard that Master Zhao is very interested in my 'Blood Research'? However, I am curious why this business must be discussed in the small garden?" Ning Mingmei asked knowingly.

Zhao Ye did not invest in his "blood research" business. Ning Mingmei guessed that the other party probably wanted to distance himself from himself. After all, Lian Chengyue came to the Demon Realm not to do business, but to seize power. The less overt involvement between the two, the better. Therefore, if we want to discuss business, we can only do it in the other garden.

But Ning Mingmei felt that there must be other reasons why Zhao Ye wanted to discuss business with him. After all, Zhao Ye is not short of money. The owner of Zhaoye Mountain also laughed and said, "To be honest, I am here to discuss business for a friend of mine. It's a pity that she is not convenient to show up in public now. Please come in!"

Lian Chengyue has friends who are not convenient for him to appear in public? Ning Mingmei wondered, who could this person be?

The two of them walked along the path into the small garden. This is Zhao Ye’s own residence, which is more elegant and grand than the place where he meets guests outside. Even the distribution of street lights on both sides of the road is dotted and unique...

Become a...

Ning Mingmei: ...

"Mr. Kong is very interested in this street lamp?" Zhao Ye said softly.

Ning Mingmei: "Your street lamp pendant is quite interesting."

Zhao Ye immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Kong, look at this tabby cat pendant. Does it look realistic?"

Ning Mingmei: "..."

Zhao Ye: "Although it looks realistic, it is not a real tabby cat, but a man-made pendant. It is too cruel to make a pendant with a real tabby cat. I don't do such a thing."

Ning Mingmei's eyebrows twitched: "Master Zhao's words are indeed kindhearted. But Master Zhao has killed many living demons, so it's ridiculous for Master Zhao to say the word 'cruel'."

Zhao Ye was not angry, he just laughed and said, "Haha, it's just a tabby cat, it's different."

Ning Mingmei: ...

Ning Mingmei stared at the swaying cat shadow on the street lamp for a while, then stared at Zhao Ye's back for a while, and confirmed that this person was Lian Chengyue in alias.

You secretly have something against your tutor and want to treat him like a street lamp, right?

You’re finished.

After entering the study, Ning Mingmei saw who the "mysterious friend" Zhao Ye was talking about. A slender woman was sitting in the reception room, wearing a red dress, with a beautiful and intellectual appearance.

"I guess this is Mr. Kong?" she said with a smile.

Zhao Ye generously introduced her to Ning Mingmei: "I believe Mr. Kong has also heard of her name - Jiang Lian."

Ning Mingmei opened his eyes slightly wide and acted surprised: "Master Zhao, you really are a real person who never shows your true colors."

Judging from her generational level, Jianglian is the great-grandniece of Jiangduo. But she has another more famous identity - the daughter of the former Demon Lord.

When Jiang Duo was resurrected and returned to the demon world, he took away his nephew's position and hunted down the remaining forces in the following decades. Perhaps out of a conciliatory mindset, Jiang Lian, who was captured from the very beginning, was not killed by him. Instead, he was given the title of princess and was raised in Dadu from then on.

However, Jiang Lian was obviously not satisfied with just this title. Over the years, she has also been building up her own power, secretly accumulating strength to compete with Jiang Duo. From the perspective of any businessman who wants to make a name for himself in the demon world, nothing good will come of being associated with Jiang Lian.

Ning Mingmei also pretended to deal with it in this way. Jiang Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Kong, since I invited you here, I have naturally offered you a good offer that you can hardly refuse."

Zhao Ye also smiled and said, "Mr. Kong..."

Then, after feeling the familiar vibration, Zhao Ye's smile slowed down a little.

Zhao Ye ordered his servants to bring tea and snacks to the two of them. After a moment, he kept smiling and said to the two of them, "I won't bother you for now. You two can talk in detail first. I will come later."

Seeing Zhao Ye leaving, Ning Mingmei pretended to be unconscious and took a sip of tea, grinning wildly in his heart.

It's easy to torture Lian Chengyue. Just now on the road, I pretended to casually ask Lian Chengyue to submit a report on his experience within today.

3000 words.

Than the delivery time of Lian Chengyue's project in advance. Although Lian Chengyue can open multiple aliases, his ability to concentrate on controlling the aliases is limited, and he can only fully use the brains of two aliases at a time. Obviously, at this moment, Lian Chengyue of Piaomiao Peak is studying seriously, and the master of Zhaoye Mountain in the demon world is working hard on strategic planning. If they want to carry out two projects at the same time, they can only use these two aliases. Lian Chengyue, who was unable to handle all the tasks, could only activate all the accounts and start working.

Ning Mingmei was in a good mood after having tricked the other party. He didn't even bother to pursue the matter because of the tabby cats hanging on the street lamps in the yard. Soon, he also found out from Jiang Lian what she wanted to do.

She wanted Ning Mingmei to help her collect the blood of the Jiang family and research ways to cause trouble for Jiang Duo and even the entire Jiang family.

"I just need you to collect blood for me and write a simple report. I will do the rest of the research myself." Jiang Lian said, "In the past, I only used my own blood to do this research, but obviously, using my own blood is far from enough to collect the required number of samples."

"Do you hate the entire Jiang family?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Lian asked back.

Ning Mingmei didn't feel any psychological pressure about this. He originally planned to collect the blood of the children of the Jiang family, but now Jiang Lian's idea was like a pillow for him when he was about to fall asleep. Moreover, the closer the blood relationship is to Jiangduo's, the more beneficial it will be to his other goal.

It was Jiang Duo who opened the invisible gap that buried Xiang. If he could use an amount of Jiang Duo's blood to reopen the gap, Ning Mingmei would need to make less noise, which would be more conducive to the implementation of his plan.

"I'm just a businessman." Ning Mingmei finally said, "I want every child in my family to buy a copy of my 'Blood Research'."

"No problem." Jiang Lian didn't even blink.

"Is there an organization in the demon world that can verify blood ties?" Ning Mingmei asked again.

"There are two, for example..."

"Shut them all down. I want these institutions to eliminate their previous facilities and only use my equipment from now on. After all, my equipment also has this effect." Ning Mingmei said, "And, if I'm not mistaken, there are also spies from the demon world in the fairy world and the human world, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Lian asked vigilantly.

"What can a businessman want to do? I want my equipment to flow into the markets of the human world and the fairy world. Let them also use my equipment to conduct bloodline testing." Ning Mingmei said while shaking his fan.

The businessman is indeed greedy. Jiang Lian thought about it and looked down on Kong Liang a little. She was born into a noble family, and although she had heard about Kong Liang's so-called mysterious life experience, she did not take it seriously. Now that the two of them have common interests, she has also seen Kong Liang's pursuit of money, which makes her feel at ease.

After the two men finished discussing business, Zhao Ye finally arrived. Ning Mingmei glanced at his mailbox and found that Lian Chengyue had indeed honestly sent his experience report to his mailbox.

The speed is quite fast!

It doesn’t look sincere at first glance!

After using the broker's territory to accomplish what he wanted to do, Jiang Lian no longer had any reason to stay here. Seeing her leaving, Ning Mingmei was about to leave, but Zhao Ye persuaded him to stay.

"I invited Mr. Kong here not only because I wanted to discuss business with him, but also because Mr. Kong and I really have something to discuss." Zhao Ye's expression was sincere.

Ning Mingmei: "Okay, you go ahead."

Zhao Ye invited Ning Ming to go boating on Mei Lake. With the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains and cool breeze, Zhao Ye chatted with him for a while and then turned the topic to Kong Liang's business empire.

"Just a year ago, Mr. Kong was still an unknown hermit, but now, he has become a well-known figure." Zhao Ye said, "Mr. Kong's brain, business sense and ability to maneuver are all unparalleled. In the past, I have only seen one person with Mr. Kong's ability."

"Oh? Who is that person?" Ning Mingmei asked.

Zhao Ye smiled: "Why don't we say the name of that person at the same time, Mr. Kong, do you think we are on the same page?"

Ning Mingmei: "Master of Zhaoye Mountain."

Zhao Ye: "The Lord of Piaomiao Peak."

The two looked at each other. Ning Mingmei said, "Master Zhao, you are from the demon world, but you admire a cultivator from the immortal world. If the Demon Lord hears this, he will say that you are collaborating with the enemy."

Zhao Ye said: "The master of Piao Miao Peak is extremely talented and a peerless national talent. If admiring his ability is considered collaborating with the enemy, then who in the world would not be collaborating with the enemy?"

Ning Mingmei raised his eyebrows. Lian Chengyue's flattery was so cunning that he wondered if the other party had recognized his true identity.

No way?

No way, no way?

Ning Mingmei felt that his disguise was flawless. If there was anything that could expose his true identity, it would be his unparalleled intelligence. Thinking about it this way, the situation between the six realms is really sad. Is there no second person who can be slightly comparable to him, with the same or slightly lower level of intelligence and evil?

How sad it is that people will reveal their identities just because they are smart!

Ning Mingmei thought about it and felt that there seemed to be no such person. If you count them roughly, there seems to be only one.

Liancheng Moon, the master of Zhaoye Mountain himself.

However, Lian Chengyue was sitting here, so he naturally knew that Kong Liang was not his own alias.

Is he going to try to fool Lian Chengyue and make him suspect that he is an alias that was secretly developed by him?

Lian Chengyue stopped talking halfway, but did not continue to delve into the matter of the master of Piaomiao Peak. However, Ning Mingmei could see that he was in a very good mood at the moment. Ning Mingmei was extremely smart and immediately figured out the reason why Lian Chengyue was in a good mood.

It seems that it is because Ning Mingmei mentioned his name in the Q&A and thought he was very capable.

However, if it didn't fit with Kong Liang's character, Ning Mingmei would have said his own name. Therefore, Lian Chengyue's secret joy at this moment made him feel that the other party was quite shameless.

Ning Mingmei thought for a while and decided to stop him from being so proud.
