After receiving the invitation from the King of Zhenbei, Luo Jing did not sleep all night. He carefully observed the situation around his residence, trying to find clues that someone was monitoring and following him.
But in the biting cold wind, everything around Luo Jing's residence was normal and no one was following him.
With Luo Jing's cultivation level at the God Summoning Realm, if one wants to hide from his perception and track and monitor him, one must have a cultivation level at least above the God Summoning Realm.
But masters of the God Summoning Realm are not common people. Anyone who has reached the God Summoning Realm anywhere can be considered a master who can stand on his own.
It is not realistic to send such an expert to monitor Luo Jing.
Luo Jing observed carefully for a long time, but did not find the spy sent by King Zhenbei to follow and monitor him. It seems that King Zhenbei really does not know his true identity
Is this invitation indeed directed at Mr. Canglan
However, the old fox Ji Canghu has a very bad reputation in the Central Plains. He is known as the Faceless Demon and is a wanted criminal listed in the Night Walk Department.
How could he use a fake identity to become a literary giant in the Central Plains literary world
Luo Jing found it a little outrageous.
The image of that unruly and sexy big sister has nothing to do with a literary giant at all.
It is very similar to the image of the oiran in the stories of literary giants.
Or is there really a great writer named Canglan who was killed by Ji Canghu and used his fake identity
I feel like the latter one might be much bigger.
But if identity can be forged, can handwriting also be forged
The handwritten letter of introduction from Ji Canghu, but all of Canglan Jushi’s friends thought it was fine after reading it…
Luo Jing was confused and wondered how to get away with it.
After going to work the next day, Luo Jing did not decipher "The Magic of Immortal Path" as usual, but began to look for information related to Master Canglan in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
As a result, Luo Jing actually found three poetry collections, a parallel prose, and several commentaries on scriptures written by Canglan Jushi.
As an undergraduate graduate with a liberal arts background, Luo Jing is not particularly talented, but he still has basic literary appreciation skills.
Many of the poems in these three collections may not be considered stunning, but they can be considered top-notch choices and of extremely high standard.
However, that parallel prose was full of literary talent and quite amazing, which made Luo Jing stunned.
This Mr. Canglan is really quite capable.
This made Luo Jing even more certain that Ji Canghu definitely did not have such literary talent, and it was very likely that he had killed Canglan Jushi and impersonated him.
But the handwriting... uh... maybe Ji Canghu can perfectly imitate other people's handwriting
This made Luo Jing feel a little guilty.
At present, it seems that King Zhenbei likes the literary giant Canglan Jushi very much.
And this literary giant was probably killed by Ji Canghu... If the King of Zhenbei knew about this, it would be a lot of fun.
Although the only people who know about this matter at present are probably Luo Jing and Ji Canghu.
When Luo Jing stepped into Yan Ke Restaurant, he did not see the scene he had expected.
Luo Jing originally thought that since a big shot like the King of Zhenbei was hosting a banquet, the entire Yanke Restaurant should have been cleared and sealed off, and the gates would be guarded by the guards of the palace. Luo Jing passed through numerous checkpoints and was searched all over his body, and finally met the King of Zhenbei in an absolutely safe and quiet room.
This is the process that Luo Jing had envisioned.
But when he walked to the door of Yan Ke Restaurant, he found that the Yan Ke Restaurant in front of him was no different from the last time he came.
The lights were still bright, with occasional sounds of string music coming from the private rooms, as well as the kind of cheerful but not unbridled laughter.
Most people who come to Yan Ke Restaurant are proud of their status and few of them behave in a dissolute manner.
To put it simply, people who come here are more respectful and do things with a little more courtesy.
Luo Jing was a little confused looking at the Yanke Restaurant in front of him which was still open for business and had not been cleared or blocked at all.
Did he get the time wrong? Not tonight
But the manager Ning, whom I met last night, was already waiting outside the door.
Seeing Luo Jing appear, Manager Ning hurried forward and saluted, saying, "Mr. Yuan, please come this way. The Second Young Master has been waiting for a long time..."
Obviously, Luo Jing came to the right place, there was indeed a banquet being held tonight.
But a big shot like the King of Zhenbei didn't even clear the scene
Luo Jing looked around but did not detect any breath of cultivators.
Not only did they not clear the area, they didn't even arrange for practitioners to guard in secret
How come the King of Zhenbei travels without any pomp and ceremony? With such little defense force, isn't he afraid of being assassinated
Or is it that the King of Zhenbei is accompanied by some top experts, so he is not worried about being assassinated
Luo Jing was confused as he followed Manager Ning through a quiet corridor and finally arrived at a lakeside villa deep inside the Yan Ke Restaurant.
This should be the private room with the best view and the most expensive one in Yanke Restaurant. It is completely different in price from the private room that Luo Jing stayed in last time.
Although it was the coldest time of the year and there was a chilly wind outside the window, the room was warm as spring. The doors and windows were clearly wide open.
By the window overlooking the lake, a frail man was leaning against the window reading a book, seemingly immersed in the world of knowledge.
After Luo Jing stepped in, he suddenly woke up and a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Yuan, please take a seat."
Although he was the dignified King of Zhenbei, he did not put on airs in front of Luo Jing. He was friendly and easy-going, just like a good friend of the same age.
The familiar and gentle smile on the other person's face even gave Luo Jing the illusion that the two were old friends who had met a long time ago.
Luo Jing felt it was outrageous and everything before him seemed extremely unreal.
I felt hazy and like in a dream.
When he walked out of the door of Yanke Restaurant, it was already late at night.
When I returned to my remote residence, a girl in a green dress jumped down from the beam.
"How is it?" Lu Li asked curiously, "How is it going tonight?"
It was obvious that Lu Li had been waiting in this room for a long time.
Luo Jing looked at her helplessly and said, "This is my bedroom, okay? You appear and disappear every day, can you please respect my privacy?"
"You jump down from the beams every time... Are you a female ghost?"
Luo Jing felt a little upset.
Lu Li didn't care about these and was only concerned about the banquet tonight.
"How was your conversation with King Zhenbei? Your true identity wasn't exposed, right?"
"But you shouldn't be exposed. If you were exposed, you wouldn't be able to come back alive... So how about tonight?" Lu Li looked at Luo Jing curiously and asked, "Why do you look so grumpy? Are you in a bad mood?"
Luo Jing looked at her in silence and said slowly: "Everything is normal, I guess it's OK."
"The King of Zhenbei did come here for Master Canglan, but I'm not familiar with Master Canglan, so we didn't talk for too long."
"It just so happened that King Zhenbei received an urgent message and left early. I don't know what the situation is, but it seems a bit urgent."
"He didn't look very well when he left."
Luo Jing told the truth.
This dinner with King Zhenbei made Luo Jing feel quite uncomfortable.
After all, he didn't know much about the fake identity, and he could only evade some of the questions asked by King Zhenbei.
