865  Pastries Have Been Sent Over

"If there is any problem, I hope you two can help us."

Seeing that Jiang Ming had agreed, Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan nodded and said, "Of course."

They were laughing in their hearts.

The fish had taken the bait!

Before long, the sea area was about to turn upside down.

Soon, they would become famous figures in the sea.

Liang Sisi looked at Xia Qiyan and Bai Heyu's expressions and felt that they had ulterior motives, but she did not say anything.

Ling Yunxiao was in a hurry now, and there was nothing he could say. He might as well expose Xia Qiyan and Bai Heyu later.

However, Liang Sisi started to worry.

Ling Yunxiao loved his wife so much that he did not even think about the possibility of danger for her. If there was anything dangerous, they would all suffer together with Ling Yunxiao.

Now that this matter had been settled, Xia Qiyan and Bai Heyu returned to their respective places to rest.

Jiang Ming did the same. He brought Ling Yunxiao, Liang Sisi, and Zhu Asi to Sikong Wuyuan.

Seeing Sikong Wuyuan lying on the bed, he could not help but feel something was amiss. "Sikong Wuyuan, what's wrong? You were fine when we left."

Sikong Wuyuan told Zhu Asi everything that had happened.

Zhu Asi could not help but look at Sikong Wuyuan sympathetically. "You're the real victim here."

He looked at Jiang Ming and said, "Although I don't know Xia Qiyan and Bai Heyu, I don't think they are good people. This ritual might not be able to summon Ling Yunxiao's wife. It's better to be careful when the time comes."

Ling Yunxiao said firmly, "No matter what, I have to give it a try. I really can't wait to see my wife."

Jiang Ming comforted Ling Yunxiao. "I know what you're thinking, but we can't be rash. If something happens to you, your wife won't be able to see you. It won't be worth it. "

Ling Yunxiao also felt that his words were reasonable, but he could not control himself. He sighed and said, "I know, but I'm really anxious about the current situation. I don't even know if my wife is safe. She won't be favored as long as she stays married to me. I'm really upset."

Liang Sisi thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to do this. When the ritual is held, we will deliberately not appear. Only Jiang Ming and Ling Yunxiao will be there. When something happens, we can come to help."

Zhu Asi felt that this was a good plan and quickly said, "I think that's the best plan."

Jiang Ming did not mind.

Ling Yunxiao nodded.

He just wanted to see his wife. Now that Jiang Ming was present, he did not care about the danger.

Sikong Wuyuan was baffled.

"What ritual? What are you doing? Are you going to perform the ritual of the appointed person?"

"They said it isn't going to be a ritual of the appointed person, but it's exactly the same."

Jiang Ming smiled faintly.

Compared to Liang Sisi's proposal, he thought of something better.

Sikong Wuyuan was confused.

Jiang Ming explained everything.

Sikong Wuyuan stopped Jiang Ming and said, "Ning Caichen, don't go. If you go, won't you be walking right into their trap? Bai Heyu and Xia Qiyan have evil intentions!"

At this time, Ling Yunxiao was against it.

"Ning Caichen's life is very important. Thus, in the same vein, is my wife's life not equally as important? You're ruthless."

Sikong Wuyuan found it hard to refute and was immediately rendered speechless. Then, he felt that Ling Yunxiao was a little selfish and said, "If you say that, then you're only doing this for your wife. Won't Ning Caichen still be in danger?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Jiang Ming quickly tried to mediate. "Just listen to me on this matter. I'll go. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Sikong Wuyuan, you should continue to recuperate here."

"No, I want to go with you this time. The ritual is dangerous. How can I stay back just like that?"

At this moment, Xia Qiyan's maid came over with a plate of pastries.

The maid placed the pastries on the table and said to Jiang Ming and the others, "These are the pastries that Madam Qiyan asked me to give to you. Madam made them herself. Madam said that she wanted to put everyone in a good mood."

In front of the maid, Jiang Ming and the others did not show any negative reactions.

"Then please tell Madam Qiyan that we thank her for the pastries."

The maid nodded and went to Xia Qiyan's courtyard to tell her everything.

"Did Ning Caichen and the others have any other reactions?" Xia Qiyan asked anxiously.

She could not believe that Ning Caichen would suspect her.

The maid replied, "Madam, there was nothing else. Instead, Lord Ning Caichen asked me to thank you."

Xia Qiyan felt strange.

"I thought they would be a little angry. Since they don't have any negative reactions, they should be eating the pastries."

She had specially added some medicine that would make people dizzy into the pastries. Thus, Ning Caichen would be more easily controlled by them and do things for them during the ritual.

Now, it seemed that the plan was going smoothly.

At this time, Ling Yunxiao also learned about the pastries. He was worried and asked the servants to send the pastries over.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was checking the pastries. When he saw the servants coming over, he immediately put the plate down.

The servant hurriedly placed more pastries on the table and then said to Jiang Ming and the others, "Lord Ning Caichen, these are the pastries Lord Bai asked me to give you. He said that Madam Qiyan might not like them, so he asked someone to send them to you."

"This is interesting. So many people are here to give me pastries," Jiang Ming said lightly with a fake smile.

The servant became nervous.

"I don't know about anything else. Please don't blame me for this."

"I understand. You may leave."

Jiang Ming waved his hand, indicating that the servant could leave.

The servant immediately left and then told everything to Bai Heyu.

Bai Heyu thought about Jiang Ming's words and could not help but think.

What did Ning Caichen mean? Could it be that he felt that there was something wrong with the pastries?

Sikong Wuyuan felt that something was amiss when he saw the two baskets of pastries.

"Why did they send so many pastries for no reason? These pastries can't be eaten."
