Chapter 781 Provoking the Woman He Shouldn't Have Provoked
"You don't even know about the Ranking of Extraordinary People?" Jiang Mo looked at Lin Ping with disdain, as if he were an outsider.
If he weren't so ignorant, he would have uttered the well-known phrase, "Everyone on Earth knows this."
"Is that strange? I didn't even know about Chiyang Pavilion before I met you," Lin Ping replied, pouting.
It's easy to tell from Jiang Mo's tone that the so-called "List of Extraordinary People" must be very popular within the industry.
"I wonder what Sister Hongling likes about you?" Jiang Mo launched into another tirade.
"Of course he likes my place!" Lin Ping silently argued, but dared not say it aloud, lest he lose Jiang Mo, his comrade-in-arms.
"The Ranking of Extraordinary People is a list compiled by the Chiyang Pavilion and is published every three years," Jiang Mo explained somewhat impatiently.
"I thought it was something special, just the king of male prostitutes for the past three years," Lin Ping said dismissively.
"Duck King?" This time it was Jiang Mo's turn to be surprised; the term was a bit new.
Rider Rankings...
Lin Ping shared his somewhat immature thoughts.
Jiang Mo was completely confused, but vaguely noticed that Lin Ping's expression was somewhat lewd. He shouted loudly:
"It's a list of extraordinary people, not a list of riders!"
"Is there a difference? I've studied tones and rhymes." Lin Ping deliberately changed the subject.
With his intelligence, how could he not understand the so-called list of extraordinary people?
The reason for deliberately interrupting was to distance himself from the matter and from Lu Hongling's senior brother.
"The list of extraordinary people includes literary giants, politicians, generals, martial arts masters, and so on. The Chiyang Pavilion gathers information from all over the world, and anyone with talent will be included. Finally, the ten most capable people are selected and included in the list."
"Over the past hundred years, Chiyang Pavilion has published dozens of lists of extraordinary people. Those who made the list either achieved great feats or founded their own sects. Because of this, the list of extraordinary people is sought after by various forces. Even the current emperor once wanted to spend a lot of money to obtain a place on the list."
"However, the Crimson Sun Pavilion does not favor any faction and has never privately released its rankings. It will only be announced after three years."
Jiang Mo finished speaking in one breath, panting heavily.
"If I'm not mistaken, the announcement of the list of extraordinary individuals will surely trigger a bloodbath," Lin Ping said with a disdainful tone and a flippant look in his eyes.
Jiang Mo stared blankly, never expecting Lin Ping to ask such a question.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded.
Since those on the list can achieve great things, it will inevitably lead to competition and even violence among various forces.
"Is this what you call a prestigious sect? It's no better than the Nightshade Palace," Lin Ping said with disdain.
"You can insult me, but you can't talk about Chiyang Pavilion like that!" Jiang Mo's eyes revealed a menacing killing intent.
He grew up in Chiyang Pavilion and deeply revered his sect, and would not tolerate Lin Ping's slander.
"Okay, okay, I admit my assessment was a bit one-sided, after all, you and Hongling are both chivalrous people," Lin Ping said perfunctorily.
When Lin Ping learned that his senior brother had developed feelings for Lu Hongling, he felt a sense of disgust towards Chiyang Pavilion.
Hearing Lin Ping's apology, Jiang Mo's anger gradually subsided, and he asked calmly, "Tell me, why did you come to Shuntian Prefecture?"
This question was no challenge for Lin Ping. He had already mentally rehearsed it several times and was absolutely certain that his answer was flawless.
So...
"Blah blah blah... blah blah..."
Ten thousand words are omitted here.
“Then Ji Shuibao was about to kill me, but then you came…” Lin Ping said in a machine-gun-like voice.
Jiang Mo had heard it so many times that he completely missed the point Lin Ping was making.
"How about... I say it again?" Seeing Jiang Mo's absent-minded look, Lin Ping decided to take advantage of the situation.
"No need, I understand," Jiang Mo hurriedly replied, afraid of being hypnotized by Lin Ping.
"No! You didn't understand, I have to say it again!" Lin Ping said resolutely.
then……
20,000 words!
This time he added a lot of vocabulary, achieving the main goal of the water-themed plot.
"Take me to a restaurant, or I'll kill you!"
With a knife to Lin Ping's neck, Jiang Mo had no choice.
"I actually have a place I recommend to you, no! I should say I highly recommend it!" Lin Ping said in a serious tone.
"where?"
"Qingfeng Tower! The most prosperous and bustling restaurant in the capital city, without a doubt!" Lin Ping's expression was serious, showing no sign of lying.
The more he acted this way, the more doubtful Jiang Mo became. "Is he really that powerful?"
"Of course, we'll go scout it out right away." Lin Ping chuckled.
A fool wouldn't make money if he could!
The unveiling of the list of extraordinary people will surely attract royalty and nobility. They are not short of money, so Lin Ping can simply raise the price of the wine tenfold!
"Scouting out the location?"
"I'm just going there to take a look and have a couple of drinks. Let's make it clear beforehand, I'll pay for the food, and you pay for the drinks!" Lin Ping explained.
Jiang Mo agreed without really understanding what was going on, unaware that the wine was more expensive than the food, and that Lin Ping specifically chose the most expensive wine to drink.
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Mo had already grabbed Lin Ping by the shoulder and flown over the courtyard wall, landing right in front of Meng Qingge.
This was clearly intentional; Jiang Mo wanted to see what the relationship was between Lin Ping and Meng Qingge.
Lin Ping was so angry that his nostrils were practically spitting fire. If he weren't so weak, he would definitely have severely berated Jiang Mo.
He knew perfectly well that although the experts of the Nightshade Palace were dead, Jiang Mo was still alive. If he were to reconcile with Meng Qingge, she would become Lu Hongling's rival in love, and who knew what fate awaited her.
Before he has absolute power, he must distance himself from the other party.
"Young Master Lin, are you still angry with me?" Meng Qingge asked, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes as she lowered her head.
She's a wealthy heiress and a strong woman; it must have taken a lot of courage for her to say those words.
If Lin Ping were still a man, he should accept it gladly.
He did laugh, with a hint of disdain.
"I'm not angry anymore."
Meng Qingge's tense mood immediately eased, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Because it's not worth it!" Lin Ping said expressionlessly.
Meng Qingge's heart skipped a beat, the smile that hadn't fully bloomed on her face froze, and her whole body turned to stone.
Tears always come sooner than words, sliding down the cheeks like pearls falling from a broken string.
"Black Dog, let's go," Lin Ping said.
The two vanished in an instant, leaving behind only a dazed Rou'er and a sobbing Meng Qingge.
"Miss, let's go back too." Rou'er held Meng Qingge's hand, and seeing the other's sad expression, she couldn't help but cry as well.
“I don’t know what your relationship is or what happened, but if you had accepted her just now, I would have acted immediately!” Jiang Mo said coldly. “Even if I don’t want you to be with Sister Hongling, I won’t allow you to like other women.”
Lin Ping was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He realized one thing: he had messed with a woman he shouldn't have.
