Chapter Summary
After Liu Ning moved in, Zhao Wudi had him organize a banquet to celebrate the housewarming. Although they were all of high rank, Liu Ning was already in a high position at such a young age, and no one could say what his future would hold. No matter how powerful Liu Ning was, or how talented he was, the Mage's Guild wouldn't consider how many disrespectful things they had done in the past.
After Liu Ning moved in, Zhao Wudi had him organize a banquet to celebrate the housewarming. People from outside came to join in the fun. Although they were all of high rank, Liu Ning was already in a high position at such a young age, and no one could say what his future would hold. They came to join in the fun so that they could become acquainted with him if anything happened in the future. Most people thought this way, so the banquet was a great success.
Some people didn't come, mainly because they were afraid of the Mage's Guild. So, even though the Mage's Guild hadn't caused trouble yet, everyone knew what Liu Ning had done. If the Mage's Guild really wanted revenge, it would be a matter of a snap of the fingers. No matter how powerful Liu Ning was, or how talented he was, the Mage's Guild wouldn't consider how many disrespectful things they had done in the past. Therefore, everyone was very worried about Liu Ning. These people were afraid of being implicated, so they came, had a drink, and left. They were like fence-sitters. Liu Ning remembered all of them. Those who wanted to establish contact with him shouldn't be afraid of the Mage's Guild. Since you wanted to be fence-sitters, then we'd cut ties from now on, to avoid any discomfort.
Everything here is great, but the only thing that bothers Liu Ning is that Wangcai can't come in. Wangcai is, after all, a ferocious beast, and Zhao Wudi has also kept many ferocious beasts. So there's a rule here: no matter how strong you are, if you want your beast to come in, you first have to pay a large deposit. Secondly, the beast must live in human society for a year. The deposit for the grand competition isn't a problem; Liu Ning can pay it anytime. But a year is too long, and this was decided by a vote of everyone. Even Zhao Wudi can't break this rule, which is what annoys Liu Ning the most. However, since everyone agrees, Liu Ning won't make any exceptions.
Originally, Liu Ning had considered forcibly bringing them in himself, but then he thought about his family's safety. If others did the same, wouldn't their safety be in danger? Others might say that Councilor Liu's beast got in through connections, so why couldn't theirs? Liu Ning's Wangcai was suppressed with his mental power, and as long as Liu Ning was alive, there was no possibility of it betraying him. But it was different for the others. They had simply beaten their beasts into submission with their fists. But if the beasts ever became disobedient, they might very well rebel, which would be a catastrophe for everyone here. So it was better to stick to the original management method.
Liu Ning strolled around, clinked glasses with many acquaintances, and was about to go back when he saw Mr. Renault at the door while resting.
According to the information Liu Ning knew, Mr. Renault had already returned to the Central Base City after the last negotiation. How could he possibly be showing up at his door now? If it was to celebrate his move, that would be putting on too much airs. Everyone knows that Mr. Renault is very busy with official duties, and the Second Speaker can't do without him either. So it's impossible for him to come here to congratulate him. The reason he's showing up at his door at this time must be because something else has happened.
Zhao Wudi spoke a few words to Mr. Renault, then gave Liu Ning a look. There were simply too many people here, so it wasn't suitable for them to discuss important matters. The group then went to a nearby pavilion, where some noble children were playing. Upon seeing Zhao Wudi and his companions enter, they wisely left. Of course, they knew the difference between themselves and these noblemen; they understood that these people were here to discuss serious matters, and lingering there would only make them appear tactless.
"It seems His Excellency the Speaker has something to instruct me on..."
Liu Ning got straight to the point, saying there was no time for arguing. When Liu Ning said this, Mr. Renault breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Liu Ning would still be disobedient. If that were the case, it would likely incur the wrath of the Second Speaker. He had already clashed with the Mage Guild over Liu Ning's affairs, and if Liu Ning continued to act as irresponsibly as before, the Second Speaker would absolutely not tolerate it.
In truth, Liu Ning wasn't a fool. His behavior was a way of returning the favor. They had been kind to him, so why should he put on airs? There's no such rule in the world. So, Liu Ning immediately expressed his stance, which reassured Zhao Wudi and Mr. Renault. They were worried that Liu Ning's temper was difficult to express, which was why Mr. Renault had come in person. If it had been someone else, things might have gone wrong. Those guys were arrogant in the Central Base City, and Liu Ning didn't put up with that. If they had really offended Liu Ning, this short-term alliance could have ended immediately, which would have been a huge loss for both sides.
"Why don't you tell him?"
Mr. Renault looked at Zhao Wudi beside him, which was also a form of respect, since Liu Ning was brought in by Zhao Wudi, so it was acceptable to tell Zhao Wudi some things.
"You should tell me yourself. You know my temperament. I don't care much about these things. If I were to explain this to you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly by tonight. You're the kind of person who does this kind of work, so it's better if you do it."
Zhao Wudi quickly waved his hand. Liu Ning also sensed something amiss. It seemed this matter was quite important and involved serious paperwork. Otherwise, Zhao Wudi wouldn't have refused. Having spent a lot of time with Zhao Wudi, Liu Ning knew what kind of person he was. Although he held an important position, Zhao Wudi didn't have much time for political affairs. All his attention was on his daughter, or he would go to the wilderness to train his body. If Zhao Wudi were to actually handle political affairs, it would be better to just kill him. Therefore, Zhao Wudi's working hours each month were far too few. But even so, no one in the entire garrison dared to say anything. If you were as strong as Zhao Wudi, you could criticize him as you pleased. If you were not as strong as him, you'd better keep your mouth shut.
