later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flap-flap-flap——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the sky came the sound of wings flapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Flying Messenger bird stopped in Jiang Ning’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A letter for me?\" Jiang Ning’s gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he twisted open the letter tube tied to the Messenger, and instantly saw the rolled-up letter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfolding it, the familiar handwriting informed him it was from Xiao Emei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the Water Moon Sword Palace is taking action!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mused to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not surprised at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yu Manyun is dead, so many days have passed without news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Moon Sword Palace certainly noticed this matter, and investigation was to be expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze moved down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter had barely a hundred words, and he swiftly scanned through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart suddenly clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qiushui hasn’t made much comment, but Xiao Qiuyue is coming to see me!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he instantly thought of He Jinyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of He Jinyun must have saddened his birth mother the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is Xiao Qiuyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her coming to find me is quite troublesome!\" Jiang Ning’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong Xiao Qiushui is, he’s just a folk master, only at the Peak of Fourth Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn’t faced Xiao Qiushui yet, he did not fear the Fourth Grade Xiao Qiushui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long held this confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Qiuyue was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qiuyue may not have Xiao Qiushui’s strength, but as Lady Qinghe, her status and influence are different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If given the chance, he dared to fight Xiao Qiushui, but attacking Xiao Qiuyue was something he couldn’t do for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be a blatant provocation to the noble group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Qinghe Marquis might have declined, he still represents a member of the noble group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Openly killing Lady Qinghe would have too great an impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it!\" Jiang Ning secretly shook his head: \"Take one step at a time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately raised his hand toward the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A three-finger-thick fish flew into his palm, thrashing about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A reward for you!\" Jiang Ning tossed the three-finger-thick fish to the Flying Messenger bird perched on his arm to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stroked its feathers, closing the letter tube again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the bird tilted its head back, the fish slid into its stomach, then it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It disappeared into the sky, leaving not a single sound of bird song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the excellence of the Flying Messenger

days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun shone brightly, the sky was clear for miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A string of sunny days had long driven away the winter’s chill, and the time seemed to be transitioning from spring to summer, warm and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of Jiangning Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang!!\" Bai Luoyu saw Jiang Ning from afar and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning immediately stepped up to greet him: \"Brother Bai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Jiang Yiming followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was the timeslot from 9:00 a.m to 11:00 a.m, according to usual practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning and Jiang Yiming normally would be at the Martial Arts Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because Lv Yi informed him yesterday that Bai Luoyu would be visiting today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning decided to skip the Martial Arts Garden for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several days spent in the Martial Arts Garden, he was getting a bit tired of reading books, so he decided to rest at home for the day, and perhaps practice other martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Bai, there’s no need to be so polite?\" Jiang Ning glanced at the items carried by the two maids behind Bai Luoyu and spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Luoyu smiled: \"It’s just that there is so much good tea at home, and I can’t drink it all myself. It’s better to share pleasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing, he signaled the maid behind him to hand over the tea leaves to Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yiming!\" Jiang Ning said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yiming quickly stepped forward and took the packet of tea leaves from the maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say thank you to Mr. Bai!\" Jiang Ning instructed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiming promptly spoke respectfully: \"Thank you, Uncle Bai!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\" Bai Luoyu nodded: \"I watched you on the day school started, truly worthy of being from the Jiang family, your Martial Arts talent is undoubtedly high!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Uncle Bai, for the praise!!\" Jiang Yiming replied very politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning said: \"Brother Bai, please come with me, the wine is already prepared!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Luoyu appeared delighted: \"Can it be that fine wine like the falling starlight from before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning chuckled: \"Even better!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, today he poured out a cup of wine soaked with Taiyin Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cup of wine amazed him when it appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because within the wine, silver threads had turned into paddles, and there were hints of golden stars flashing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a miraculous sight instantly made him realize that the fusion of Emperor’s Liquid had improved, soon able to condense into the true Emperor’s Liquid flowing like golden silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, he was reluctant to pour too much wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured only one cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given the Emperor’s Liquid concentration in that cup of wine, pouring it into a jar of wine revealed a cascade of countless silver threads instantaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the table in the pavilion were already three steaming dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also a wine pot on the table, along with several wine cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Bai, please take a seat!\" Jiang Ning gestured with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat down together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me, sir!\" The maid behind Bai Luoyu saw Jiang Ning lifting the wine pot, preparing to pour wine, and quickly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang, we should just drink and talk freely, the pouring of wine shouldn’t be done by you!\" Bai Luoyu also spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning chuckled, not insisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgle gurgle gurgle——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wine poured from the pot’s mouth, it was like a celestial river waterfall descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed better!!\" Bai Luoyu, upon seeing this, immediately praised with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning said with a smile: \"I wasn’t lying to Brother Bai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still trustworthy is Brother Jiang!\" Bai Luoyu nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Yi brought another dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such good food and wine, can I invite Master Zhao to join us for a drink?\" Bai Luoyu put down his chopsticks and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandmaster Zhao?\" Jiang Ning showed surprise, then nodded: \"That would certainly be no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-05-29T16:07:27.927Z","2026-06-01T04:29:42.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","67157e87da3bde81f74df233b22ef1c945da43aa15d19c97a9958f3c8cc68f25","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-699","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-697",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
