Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chapter 793 793: Young Master of the Hundred Knowledge Hall!

"Are you Mr. Zhuge? Ruyan has told me about it. Our Demon Moon Alliance's 'Ganoderma Lucidum Soaking Bath' has miraculous effects on treating external injuries and bone dislocations. I'll send someone to take you there now, and have them prepare some food. Once you're done soaking, you can enjoy a meal with Young Hero Jiang here."

The Demoness politely said to Zhu Ge Yuheng.

Zhu Ge Yuheng felt utterly undeserving. Even though the Demoness was an exceptional beauty, her status was far higher than his.

"I don't deserve this; I'm really grateful for the trouble I've caused your alliance." Zhu Ge Yuheng quickly thanked the Demoness.

The Demoness smiled gently, then instructed two beautiful women to take Zhu Ge Yuheng for the medicinal bath.

"Young Hero Jiang, I heard from Ruyan that you took her up the mountain early in the morning, traveling long distances and haven't had lunch yet. Why not eat here before you set off? I can give you a proper reception."

The Demoness sincerely said to Jiang Feng.

"Demoness, you don't have to be so polite with me in the future, and there's no need to call me 'Young Hero.' Although I don't want to be your Tributor, I don't mind being your friend."

Jiang Feng shrugged and said to the Demoness.

The Demoness was somewhat surprised and flattered: "Young Master Jiang... Alright! Xiao Feng, then I'll humbly accept your offer. Haha, I won't treat you as an outsider from now on, and we'll be honest with each other. From now on, your matters will be the matters of the Demon Moon Alliance!"

Kong Guyoulan, who was listening, also became somewhat excited.

Jiang Feng's attitude had noticeably improved, which, in a sense, seemed to forgive her previous wrong decisions.

This made her feel a weight lifted off her shoulders, and she was inexplicably grateful to Jiang Feng.

Just as the Demoness and Kong Guyoulan were about to lead the entire welcoming party with Jiang Feng towards the island, two figures suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the road.

Unexpectedly, one of them was Shangguan Wan'er.

No wonder Jiang Feng hadn't seen her in the welcoming crowd earlier.

But now, beside Shangguan Wan'er, there was a graceful young man!

What on earth was this?

Wasn't it just mentioned that Jiang Feng was the only male in the Demon Moon Alliance?

How come now, besides him and Zhu Ge Yuheng, another one appears on the island?

Shangguan Wan'er, seeing Jiang Feng from afar, looked somewhat excited.

But soon, she appeared flustered and uneasy because the graceful young man beside her was like sticky candy, impossible to shake off. She was afraid Jiang Feng might misunderstand.

Even at a distance, the graceful young man also saw Jiang Feng. His steps paused slightly, and he frowned gently.

He thought Shangguan Wan'er had anxiously come over for some urgent matter.

It turned out — it was for this person?!

Moreover, the entire Demon Moon Alliance, to welcome this mysterious guy, went all out too grandly?!

The entire group turned out, waiting respectfully?

When he came ashore, he hadn't received such treatment!

The Demoness, seeing the graceful young man, also felt a bit awkward, softly explaining to Jiang Feng: "Xiao Feng, that man is Gu Ming, the second son of the Master of Hundred Knowledge Hall from the Tianji Pavilion. Today it's coincidental; he came as a guest on our island..."

"Hundred Knowledge Hall?"

Jiang Feng recalled.

Previously, when Dong Ruyan called him, she'd mentioned that the Demoness could lock onto Lu Da's identity with just a side-profile photo, thanks to the Hundred Knowledge Hall's contribution.

And it seemed the Demoness had spent a significant price to enlist the help of the Hundred Knowledge Hall.

Unexpectedly, that graceful young man was the son of the Hall Master?

"We didn't invite him; he wanted to come himself."

Kong Guyoulan seemed worried that Jiang Feng would misunderstand and quickly added a sentence.

Jiang Feng nodded silently.

Although this was his first face-to-face encounter with Gu Ming, he could already tell that Gu Ming was filled with hostility towards him, while towards Shangguan Wan'er, there was a very strong possessive desire!

It's a pity that Shangguan Wan'er didn't seem interested in him and was eager to break free and come over.

"Wan'er, aren't you going to introduce me? Who is this, and how can he freely enter your Demon Moon Headquarters?"

The young Gu Ming intentionally asked Shangguan Wan'er as Jiang Feng drew closer.

"What does it matter to you? Aren't you annoying!" Shangguan Wan'er said impatiently.

Gu Ming didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to give him such little face, making his expression even gloomier!

Jiang Feng guessed correctly, as Gu Ming indeed regarded Shangguan Wan'er as his own now!

And at this moment, Shangguan Wan'er showed extraordinary concern for Jiang Feng, how could he not be jealous?

"Wan'er, how could you speak this way?"

Gu Ming protested: "Have you forgotten the times when your Demon Moon Alliance sought my father's help? My father just helped you, and you're already burning bridges and ignoring me?"

"You..." Shangguan Wan'er had no words, her face puffing with anger.

"Young Master Gu, how could you say that? Our Demon Moon Alliance is not ungrateful. It's just that an old friend arrived, and Wan'er just wanted to come and chat. Please, don't take it the wrong way."

The Demoness understood her daughter's feelings.

But this petty-minded Gu Ming couldn't be offended either; she had to help her daughter find an excuse.

"Old friend?"

Hearing this, Gu Ming's jealousy intensified!

This unknown guy dared to be an old friend of Shangguan Wan'er?

He scrutinized Jiang Feng, eyes filled with disdain: "May I ask, sir, who you are to deserve to be a guest at the Demon Moon Alliance? My Hundred Knowledge Hall knows all the influential figures in China. If you were genuinely famous and a young talent, I couldn't have not known about you!"

Implying, in his view, Jiang Feng was merely a clown, unworthy of being a distinguished guest of the Demon Moon Alliance.

"I'm not any influential figure; it's normal for you not to have heard of me."

Jiang Feng calmly replied: "But if you like Shangguan Wan'er, you should earn her heart through your own efforts, not by disparaging others to raise your status. Didn't your father teach you as a child to be courteous? Speak politely."

As soon as he spoke, everyone was dumbfounded!

Jiang Feng countered Gu Ming on the spot, and furthermore, his tone was more biting, even indirectly critiquing Gu Ming's father — the esteemed Master of Hundred Knowledge Hall, Gu Yuansheng too?

The faces of the Demoness and Kong Guyoulan instantly changed color.

Though Shangguan Wan'er was surprised, she felt a burst of anger and grievance.

This jerk, facing someone pestering her, paid no mind, only spoke up because Gu Ming was impolite!

"You... unknown man, dare to speak to me like this? Do you know that any organization or force in China has to give my father some face, yet you dare to speak disrespectfully?" Gu Ming exclaimed!
