When Liu Ping heard this, he felt that Zhou Jing was terrified. He immediately revealed an unsurprising expression and waved his fan as he laughed,

"Could it be that you're afraid that you won't be able to reproduce the miracle and will embarrass yourself in public?"

Ye Shunzhong, who was at the side, was immediately angry. He said unhappily, "Young Master Liu, I saw Daoist priest's skills with my own eyes. How can it be fake? Don't offend Lord Daoist like this!"

Liu Ping shook his head indifferently, "Brother Ye, you don't know that you've been deceived. This person might have some medical skills, but he must have used some tricks to walk on the river. How can it be true?"

Without waiting for Ye Shunzhong to speak, Liu Ping stared at Zhou Jing and jeered,

"Hehe, ever since you entered, you've been deliberately mystifying yourself. We have a reputation in Ning Tian Prefecture, but you dare to show off in front of us and cheat us. Do you think we're easy to bully? For Brother Ye's sake, I'm not afraid of you. However, if you don't dare to use your 'divine power' in front of us, you should leave tactfully. What right does a swindler have to sit with me?"

Zhao Xing'an frowned and said unhappily, "Young Master Liu, I'm holding a banquet today. Daoist Ling Fengzi is an honored guest I invited."

Liu Ping immediately cupped his hands and apologized to the magistrate, "Sir, please don't blame me. I'm just angry that this person treated us as fools and deceived us. That's why I spoke in anger."

Everyone remained silent and only looked at Zhou Jing meaningfully. The atmosphere was subtle.

The pressure naturally settled on Zhou Jing. Under such an atmosphere, ordinary people would naturally feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

However, Zhou Jing did not care at all. After all, he was full of confidence. At this moment, he only watched the conversation between Zhao Xing'an and Liu Ping coldly. He knew that this was most likely a cooperation arranged in advance.

These people had set up a banquet today with the intention of "exposing" him. Although they had chatted quite happily previously, how could a few words that they did not know were true easily dispel the suspicions of these nobles? That was why they were making things difficult for him at this moment.

At this point, revealing his methods would solve the problem once and for all. He had this plan in mind, but he needed a reason

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and already had a plan. He ignored Liu Ping and looked at Zhao Xing'an as he spoke,

"Lord Zhao, I have something to discuss at the banquet today."

Seeing that Zhou Jing's expression was calm, Zhao Xingan could not help but be a little surprised. He felt that this person was still able to keep his composure. He smiled and said, "Please go ahead, Daoist."

Zhou Jing said, "I came to Ning Tian Prefecture to search for the heavenly secrets and receive help from the country. However, the heavenly secrets are ethereal and I don't know when they will appear. Therefore, I hope that the magistrate can tell the entire city to pay attention to some strange things. If you discover anything, come and tell me."

" I've also heard a little about it. Didn't you already persuade the Ye Family to do this for you?" Zhao Xing'an raised his eyebrows.

"That's right. It's just that the people in the city are skeptical. In the past few days, there has been no movement. If the magistrate informs the people on behalf of the government, the people will believe it."

Zhou Jing nodded and replied calmly.

Zhao Xing'an rolled his eyes and smiled faintly,

"This matter is not difficult, but I'm also quite curious about your methods Why don't we do this? If you can display your divine power and walk on water, allowing us to broaden our horizons, I'll help you do this. Since you have the ability to walk on the river, stepping on this Yu Lin River should be a small matter to you, right?"

Zhou Jing deliberately sighed, "I'm not willing to show my divine power to others easily. Moreover, there's a sea of people by the Yu Lin River. If I show it in public, I'm afraid it will cause a riot. Lord Zhao, why force me to do so?"

Zhao Xing'an did not seem to mind and waved his hand casually,

"It's fine. Priest, you don't have to worry about these commoners. We're really curious However, if you're unwilling, we won't force you. It's just that I can't do what you said."

Zhou Jing frowned and deliberately glanced at Ye Shunzhong.

Ye Shunzhong read the hidden message within his glance and hurriedly echoed,

"It's not a child's play to search for the heavenly secrets. Since Lord Zhao is willing to help, Lord Daoist, you should take action."

When Zhou Jing heard this, he deliberately snorted and said indifferently, "Alright, since Patriarch Ye has said so, I'll make an exception. I hope Lord Zhao won't go back on his word."

"Hehe, of course not."

Zhao Xing'an stroked his beard and replied casually.

Everyone was also quite curious. They wanted to see how Ling Fengzi would end up after making such big claims. They were all waiting to see some fun.

Zhou Jing slowly got up and slowly walked to the window of the private room, facing the Yu Lin River.

Under the puzzled gazes of the nobles present, Zhou Jing gently raised his palms and pressed them against the wall on both sides of the window.

"What's he going to do?"

Everyone was puzzled.

However, in the next second, a shocking change happened!

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a violent wind blew. The wall of the private room exploded, and a huge hole appeared, leading out of the building!

Hua la la

Broken wood and bricks flew everywhere as they fell from the third floor, causing the pedestrians on the street to scream.

The passersby nearby dodged and looked up in surprise, before immediately standing agape. They stopped to watch as they exclaimed.

Everyone could only see Zhou Jing standing in front of the hole on the third floor of the Green Jade Pavilion. He suddenly took a step forward and stood in midair.

Immediately after, he floated in the air step by step, as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase. He walked diagonally from the third floor of the Pavilion to the surface of the Yu Lin River.

At the same time, gusts of wind whistled, sweeping across the river and raising waves.

Rows of pleasure boats rose and fell with the water, colliding continuously, creating a chaotic scene.

It was as if the Dragon King was throwing a tantrum!

"This This is impossible!"

In the room, the many aristocrats who were waiting to watch a good show were all shocked. When they saw this unbelievable scene, they were horrified.

Zhao Xing'an's hand trembled, and he almost pulled off his beard.

Everyone present had the same unbelievable thought.

This guy was actually the real deal?!

When Ye Shunzhong saw everyone's reaction, he immediately felt happy. He felt proud like a father.

Hmph, these people did not believe him and even mocked him for being deceived!

Are you all dumbstruck now? This grandpa here was truly showing respect to a real deity!
