Chapter 114 Surprise Visit

Jiang Ming held a shocked expression when he saw Bing Tong sitting calmly on a chair.

If it were any other location, he wouldn't be shocked, but the Lavender Heaven is currently a crime scene.

Who in their right mind would want to enter a crime scene?

"What are you doing here, Bing Tong? Don't you know the danger here?" Jiang Ming asked.

"Hello, Jiang Ming." Bing Tong flashed a gentle smile as she waved her hand at him, ignoring his questions.

Seeing that, Jiang Ming tried to sneak a glance at Yuan Chunhua, clearly asking for an explanation for this development.

"Don't look at me like that, Jiang Ming. Princess Bing Tong had arrived unannounced, so even I was surprised by her sudden appearance." Yuan Chunhua sent a mental transmission to Jiang Ming.

"That's weird. Why would Bing Tong come all the way out here? I'm sure Zhao Tong would throw a fit again if he found out his daughter is coming to a dangerous place." Jiang Ming replied back in a mental transmission.

"You can stop sending a mental transmission to each other." Bing Tong suddenly said, shocking Yuan Chunhua.

"Hahaha, what are you saying Princess Bing Tong?" Yuan Chunhua laughed aloud. "Why would we be sending a mental transmission to each other?" Jiang Ming facepalmed when Yuan Chunhua outright exposed them. The more you bother to explain, the more it shows that you're guilty of doing it.

"Anyway, what reason brought you here, Bing Tong." Jiang Ming's cleverness in changing the topic was top-notch. Even Yuan Chunhua held a grateful look at him to save her from the awkwardness.

Bing Tong looked around, checking the room and making sure that they are safe here.

"Rest assured, Princess Bing Tong. I've already set up the proper formation here, so you don't need to worry about any eavesdropping." Yuan Chunhua reassured her.

Bing Tong nodded her head.

"The victim… is actually a spy planted by my father to investigate the 6 powerful clans." She said in a grave tone.

"When news of a crime scene happened here, my father instantly knew the spy was caught and dealt with by them. Hence, I decided to come here on my own accord to help my father out with his problem."

"B-But Princess Bing Tong, his majesty would surely go on a rampage if anything were to happen to you."

"Enough, Instructor Yuan Chunhua. I know exactly the danger of me coming here today, but you also have him here." Bing Tong suddenly said, flashing a gentle smile at Jiang Ming.

Bing Tong had the look of an innocent girl, falling in love like those youthful teenagers.

Yuan Chunhua was in distress when she realized everything that happened was once again related to Jiang Ming.

'Just what did the princess see in him?' She wondered silently.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming chuckled softly as he held a cheeky remark.

"Heh, at least you know that I can protect you well~" He said in a confident tone. It was about time someone else finally realized his good points and skills, unlike Yuan Chunhua.

Bing Tong nodded her head.

"By the way, my father also wanted to meet up with you. Recently, our treasury has been lacking some alchemy pills, but the alchemist there said he would only refine it for us as long as he received an order from you." Bing Tong said.

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Why would an alchemist need to receive an order from me?" He asked.

Since it was such an impromptu discussion, Jiang Ming had forgotten about the one particular alchemist that worshiped him like a god, Alchemist Ren.

Thus, Bing Tong needed to spend a few minutes explaining things for Jiang Ming to understand.

"Ahh, Little Ren must have been busy refining the pills that I assigned him." Jiang Ming clasped his hand.

"Mhmm, and he had refused to meet with anyone else, even outright lying about being sick."

"Hehe, seems like your father's influence has been lacking lately. To be rejected by Little Ren."

Bing Tong shrugged her shoulders. "What can I say? It's my fault that my father was losing his influence on others. If it weren't for my selfishness and indulgence, then I wouldn't have been poisoned and caused many worries for my father."

She knew how much trouble she had brought to her father, yet, never once did Zhao Tong blame her. In fact, he kept blaming himself for not giving her much attention and causing her to go exploring.

The more Zhao Tong refused to scold or blame her, the more guilt Bing Tong felt. Hence, with her full recovery now, she wanted to do everything in her power to lessen the problems for him.

And the perfect candidate to help her succeed in it was none other than Jiang Ming. Since Jiang Ming had blatantly taken advantage of her, then it was also right for her to rely on him and count on him to do things on her behalf.

"You wouldn't refuse to help me out, right?" Bing Tong said in a pitiful tone, showing a tender and bitter smile.

Jiang Ming twitched his mouth at her act. With Yuan Chunhua's presence right next to him, if he was to be so heartless and refuse such a simple request, then all of his images would be broken into pieces.

"You knew Instructor Yuan Chunhua was here, so you purposely came here despite the danger…" Jiang Ming muttered.

Bing Tong stuck her tongue out a little, showcasing her playful behavior.

Meanwhile, Yuan Chunhua was already on the verge of crying.

'Am I just a flower vase here?' She thought, wondering if she should even stay in the room.

"Anyway, since Jiang Ming agreed to help me to ask for Alchemist Ren's help, I want to move on with another topic." Bing Tong clapped her hand, and a spherical orb suddenly appeared on the table.

"In the orb is a message recorded by our spy before he was murdered here."
