Jiang Ying did not notice Ning Yue’s embarrassment and asked, “Yueyue, the fire was targeted at you. This is the Black City Kingdom. It’s really hard to imagine what unpredictable consequences will happen if you react a little slower.”

His tone was filled with worry. He was very afraid. If Ning Yue’s vigilance was not strong and if Ning Yue and he did not choose to stay in the Nan residence, what would happen?

She took a deep breath and said, “This fire is indeed aimed at me, but I’m really curious about what Lian Xin is thinking.”

“What do you want to do?” Jiang Ying asked again.

Ning Yue frowned tightly. This time, the fire was directed at her. Whether it was Jin Li or the fire attack behind, it seemed to be directed at her.

However, Ning Yue did not think that these people were completely here for her. It was very likely that they were here for Jiang Ying. Ning Yue did not expose this.

After Jiang Ying was detained by Lian Xin, there were only her and Nan Xing in the Nan residence. Although Nan Xing and Jiang Ying had known each other since they were young, they had almost no contact after growing up.

Therefore, the mastermind had treated her as a way to get to him, which was why Jin Li and the fire had happened.

Why did Lian Xin do these things? Wasn’t this contradictory?

He wanted Jin Li to see her and set fire to the Nan residence. Now, he even sent Liu Yao to invite her into the palace and catch the people who set the fire. Could it be that he wanted to gain her favor?

It was not impossible for Lian Xin to do such a crazy thing.

While she was thinking about something, she didn’t notice Jiang Ying’s worried expression. Jiang Ying went forward to observe her expression.

By the time Ning Yue realized it, the two of them were already very close, so close that only a thin piece of paper could be placed between them.

She could smell Jiang Ying’s scent with almost every breath she took.

Ning Yue was shocked. Her hand reacted faster than her brain.

Therefore, Jiang Ying was caught off guard and was pushed by Ning Yue. He fell to the ground in a sorry state and did not stand up for a long time.

The moment he fell to the ground, Jiang Ying’s eyes widened in disbelief.

When Ning Yue reacted again, she understood what she had done.

She swallowed and ran away while Jiang Ying was still in a daze.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Ning Yue said as she ran.

Jiang Ying was also a little embarrassed, but on second thought, he should be relieved that Ning Yue was safe.

Next, he had to find trouble with Lian Xin. He had to help Nan Xing. At the thought of this, he arranged for his men to guard Nan Xing’s residence first.

After arranging everything, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue entered the palace of the Black City Kingdom.

Jiang Ying had already guessed that Lian Xin had been waiting for them. He brought Ning Yue to the suburbs and entered the palace. He did not do anything unnecessary.

He wanted to use his actions to warn Lian Xin that although he was not from the Black City Kingdom, he was established in the Black City Kingdom. As long as he wanted to, he could go anywhere without obstruction.

Lian Xin was naturally very clear about Jiang Ying’s warning. He even wondered if Jiang Ying could enter and leave freely wherever he went and if he could even go to the palace.

Could his head also fall off at Jiang Ying’s whim?

Lian Xin subconsciously touched his neck and sneered. He would not lower his head.

At this moment, Lian Xin was sitting at the head of the table, watching Jiang Ying and Ning Yue arrive. God knew how worried he was when he received the news that Ning Yue had been taken away.

Now that he saw that Ning Yue was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Emperor of the Black City Kingdom, how have you been?” Jiang Ying said with a cold smile.

“Coming.” Lian Xin raised her teacup and took a sip.

Lian Xin’s tone was gentle, and there didn’t seem to be any signs of anger in his eyes. It was as if he was waiting alone to meet two old friends he hadn’t seen in a long time.

However, to be honest, if Lian Xin really didn’t have a temper, he wouldn’t be sitting on the dragon throne waiting for them in the middle of the night.

His wait had almost wasted his entire night!

When Jiang Ying and Ning Yue stood calmly in front of him, his clenched teeth slowly relaxed.

Jiang Ying looked at Lian Xin calmly without any fear.

Lian Xin was not angry. After all, Jiang Ying was the heir of the Great Yun Nation, not the heir of the Black City Kingdom. He indeed had no reason to ask him to kneel and bow.

“Have a seat,” Lian Xin said to them.

Jiang Ying and Ning Yue sat down. At this moment, someone immediately served refreshments and placed them in front of them..
