Jiuxiao Building.

Third Floor.

Jiang Ning sat in the corner by the window.

Compared to the first-floor lobby, the third floor instantly became much quieter.

"Sir, here's the menu, please take a look at what you would like to order!" The assistant took out a menu from a drawer under the round wooden table and handed it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took the menu and quickly glanced at it.

Then he returned the menu to the assistant.

"Bring me all the signature dishes and a few appetizers, along with a pound of Qionghua Dew!"

"This..." Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately showed a hesitant expression.

"Is there a problem?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Sir, Jiuxiao Building's signature dishes total twenty-four!" the assistant said.

"Twenty-four dishes, are you afraid I can't pay for them?" Jiang Ning asked.

The assistant immediately shook his head repeatedly: "How could I doubt your ability to pay, sir, you clearly have an extraordinary presence, definitely not the type to dine and dash!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning laughed.

The assistant continued: "It's just that Jiuxiao Building always serves generous portions, the twenty-four dishes are quite a lot, enough for more than ten men to eat their fill, I'm just concerned it might be too wasteful for you."

"Just bring the food, as long as your flavor isn't a problem, don't worry about me finishing it!" Jiang Ning replied.

Upon hearing this sentence, the assistant immediately understood.

In Guangning City, after working at Jiuxiao Building for so many years, he's seen many Martial Artists who can eat a lot.

"It seems I've underestimated you! You look very young, but you must be a top Martial Arts Strongman!" the assistant quickly flattered.

"You are right, the Jiang Patrol Envoy before you is indeed a top Martial Arts Strongman!" came a sudden male voice from behind.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Ning and the assistant looked over simultaneously.

A man in a purple robe slowly approached.

Beside him, there was a sword-bearing woman.

The woman did not look very old, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with skin like jade.

But Jiang Ning knew that the sword-bearing woman was definitely not young.

Because the sword-bearing woman was at least a Fourth Grade strongman, possessing Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone.

Fourth Grade strongman, Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone, the improvement in skin naturally made her appear much younger from the outside.

But in reality, the sword-bearing woman's age being over forty or fifty was very normal.

Yet it's not easy to judge her age just from her appearance.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning's gaze was instantly attracted by the man in the purple robe.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because he recognized this man, who was the young Marquis of the Lu Family, Lu Junyi, in Marquis Guangning's mansion.

They had once met at the Dongling County Governor Mansion.

"Greetings, Patrol Envoy sir!" Upon hearing the tip-off from the young Marquis behind him, the assistant immediately knelt down.

Having worked at Jiuxiao Building for years, he knew Lu Junyi's name well, and had seen him from afar a few times.

This was someone of such stature that he couldn't even dare bump into; naturally, he had remembered him.

So, hearing these words from young Marquis Lu Junyi's mouth, he had no doubt.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning lightly raised his palm, causing the assistant's bent legs to hover in mid-air.

"Step back!"

"Yes, sir!" The assistant immediately retreated slowly.

After taking several steps back, away from Jiang Ning, he turned around and left rapidly.

"Jiang Patrol Envoy, I plan to sit here, I hope you don't mind!" Lu Junyi approached Jiang Ning, expressing with a smile.

"Young Marquis, please sit!" Jiang Ning gestured with his hand.

The saying goes not to strike a smiling person, and since Lu Junyi now greeted him with a smile, he saw no need to make enemies.

Lu Junyi smiled and sat down.

Despite Jiang Ning not rising to greet him, he showed no signs of anger.

"It's been months since last our meeting, I didn't expect to encounter you here!" Lu Junyi took out a handkerchief to wipe the table, saying.

The sword-bearing woman next to him stood calmly on his left.

Jiang Ning glanced at her and then paid her no further attention.

Although it was obvious the sword-bearing woman held a guard role with Lu Junyi, her strength must not be weak.

At this distance, he didn't feel any pressure from the woman.

He could roughly guess her strength, at most an ordinary Grandmaster, most likely the Peak of Fourth Grade.

Because Grandmasters aren't common.

Even in the prefecture, Grandmasters aren't common.

An ordinary Grandmaster in a Marquis Mansion is still a respectable presence.

It's rare for one to lower himself to serve as a guard for a young Marquis.

Once strength reaches a certain level, it becomes status.

"I didn't expect to meet Young Marquis here either!" Jiang Ning replied and said.

Lu Junyi laughed, speaking: "Back to the topic, why suddenly to Guangning City, Jiang Patrol Envoy? Is it due to Marquis Shen Wenyan's appointment?"

Jiang Ning said: "I'm here to report work!"

"I see!" Lu Junyi clapped.

After a pause for one breath, he said: "Does Jiang Patrol Envoy have any news of Princess Consort Qi?"

"Princess Consort Qi?" A gleam flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.

He knew exactly who Princess Consort Qi was.

It was Lin Qingyi himself.

"No!" He immediately shook his head slightly.

"So even Jiang Patrol Envoy doesn't have any news of Princess Consort Qi!" Lu Junyi pretended to be disappointed as he shook his head slowly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning did not reply.

"By the way, does Jiang Patrol Envoy happen to know the eldest daughter of County Governor Wang Qintan from Dongling County?" Lu Junyi asked again.

"I've heard a little about her, why do you ask?" Jiang Ning replied mildly.

"What do you think if I propose to her? I heard she's of breathtaking beauty, unparalleled appearance! Her father is also the Dongling County Governor, which match status with me." Lu Junyi probed as he spoke.

"I'd advise you to abandon that thought!" Jiang Ning said.
