Chapter 1,702: The Mission Assigned by King Ning

Early in the morning, Bai Chen and others were enjoying the flowers in the yard as usual. At this time, a figure suddenly came hurriedly outside. It was a stranger dressed in the same clothes as the old housekeeper before.

As soon as the man walked into the yard, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, I am the new housekeeper Zhao. The prince has arranged a task. Please go, Mr. Jiang."

New housekeeper?

Bai Chen smiled and got up lazily: "I have been looking forward to it until now. Finally, the task has come. Otherwise, I am really afraid of what others will say~"

"No, no, Mr. Jiang's strength is naturally trusted by King Ning, but this task is a bit difficult, so I asked Mr. Jiang to come out once."

"Oh?" Bai Chen stood up with interest and smiled lightly: "What task can make His Royal Highness King Ning feel difficult?"

"I don't know about this. Mr. Jiang, please follow me to the main hall first."

"Okay."

Bai Chen smiled calmly and walked out of the villa with the two women.

...

When Bai Chen and the other two came to the main hall, King Ning had already been waiting in front of the hall.

However, beside him, there was an old man standing. This man had a savage face and a red glow. The alchemist badge on his chest showed his different status.

Seeing Bai Chen coming in, the old man instantly fixed his eyes on Lin Mengyao, with a wolf-seeing-a-rabbit look in Bai Chen's eyes, which made him murderous.

"Hahaha, Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Master Zuo Jing, also the famous alchemist master of the Zuo family!" King Ning came with a big laugh.

As soon as these words came out, the old man immediately raised his chin three points higher, and a hint of arrogance that only belonged to alchemists appeared in his old eyes.

Glancing at the alchemist badge worn by the old man, Bai Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

A sixth-grade alchemist, the same level as Lao Xia.

"I heard that the prince has a task to arrange. I wonder what it is?" Bai Chen smiled and looked at King Ning, without any intention of greeting Zuo Jing.

Being so cold to Zuo Jing, King Ning's smile suddenly froze.

Zuo Jing's chin also froze, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes when he looked at Bai Chen.

"Ah, hehe, Mr. Jiang, this mission is mainly to ask you to protect Master Zuo Jing's safety, and let him take the magic core of a monster."

Hearing King Ning's words, Bai Chen frowned: "Isn't there a probability of the existence of a magic core, and the probability is not high, Your Majesty, what you said..."

"This monster is not ordinary, there is only one in the world, and it must have a magic core, but... it's a little dangerous." King Ning said meaningfully.

At this time, Zuo Jing also snorted disdainfully: "Your Majesty, you arrange such a young man to protect my safety, is it appropriate?"

"This..." King Ning pretended to be embarrassed, and looked at Bai Chen with hesitation.

How could Bai Chen not see what these two people were thinking about? Hearing Zuo Jing's words, Bai Chen smiled and said lightly: "It's just hunting a monster. It's a piece of cake for me."

"Hahaha, I know that Mr. Jiang can do it. Then, I will arrange a carriage in a while and wait for good news here."

"Ah~ Your Majesty, just arrange it."

Bai Chen smiled calmly.

Since you want to test it, let's have fun and see who can beat whom.

...

On the mountain road, the carriage bumped forward. Bai Chen was hugging left and right in the car, smiling and looking at Zuo Jing opposite, as if he was looking at a single dog.

Zuo Jing touched his beard imperceptibly and asked coldly: "What do you always look at me for?"

"Nothing." Bai Chen's smiling tone made Zuo Jing very unhappy.

Along the way, Bai Chen and the two women talked and laughed, and did not take Zuo Jing seriously at all. If it were any other strong man, he would have come forward to curry favor with him, and even handed over the beauty around him.

Bai Chen's arrogance made Zuo Jing angry. The prince had told him to test whether Bai Chen was loyal, but now he changed his mind.

For this young man who was more arrogant than himself, Zuo Jing decided to teach him what it meant to be high and deep. He no longer wanted to test Bai Chen's loyalty. He only wanted Bai Chen's life and then his woman!

In an inn in a small town, Bai Chen and the other two sat in a room, and Zuo Jing lived next door to them.

Lin Mengyao rested his chin on his hand, a little puzzled: "Brother Bai, our route was to the north before, but this morning, we suddenly changed direction. Is this old man trying to do something?"

"That's for sure. He was unhappy with me, so he changed the task assigned by the prince without authorization." Bai Chen had seen through everything.

"Bai Chen, since our mission is Zuo Jing, why not just go all out and find a place to capture this old man, and then use your means to pry open his mouth, isn't it better?" Chu Junran wanted to break his old bones immediately when he thought of the disgusting look of this old man.

But Bai Chen didn't think so.

"Let's wait and see, I always feel that if we continue to follow him, there may be unexpected gains."

Hearing Bai Chen's words, the two women looked at each other in shock and could only sigh silently.

They were really fed up with Zuo Jing's disgusting eyes.

"Don't worry, when he falls into my hands, we will torture him together, and I promise to make you feel relieved." Bai Chen slowly picked up the cup and drank the tea in one gulp. His calm eyes were full of intriguing sternness.

...

In the following days, they continued to travel eastward until they came to the shore of an endless lake, and the carriage stopped.

"Brother Jiang, are you sure this is a lake, not the sea?" Chu Junran stood by the lake, looking at the blue, and couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Zuo Jing took the lead and laughed: "Hey, this is called Bihu, which is the largest inland lake in the Beichen Empire. Its vastness is enough to match the Moon Kingdom!"

"So, the monster is here?" Bai Chen pointed to the endless lake.

"That's right!"

Zuo Jing took out a bamboo stool and sat down, his old eyes narrowed into a slit: "There is a golden strange bird here, and what I want is its magic core!"

"Then how can I find it?" Bai Chen stood with his hands behind his back and smiled calmly.

With a touch of resentment and gloom in his old eyes, Zuo Jing slowly took out a pill and threw it into the lake: "Wait, it will come out in about an hour."

? !

Birds living in the water?

This actually aroused Bai Chen's interest.

Since Zuo Jing had taken great pains to lure him here, it proved that there must be something fishy going on. He also wanted to know what exactly this old man was up to.
