Chapter 11 Shaoxing Ming

"Then I shall await the news of the Sun Family coming in and begging for their life, Little Ren," Jiang Ming said softly as he proceeded to walk down the stairs.

Alchemist Ren clenched his hand into a fist and pounded himself lightly in the chest as he exclaimed, "You can rest assured master, you will hear the news in less than 3 hours."

Alchemist Ren was determined to ruin the Sun Family completely for offending Jiang Ming and will guarantee their days are over in this Northern Continent.

As Alchemist Ren continued to guide Jiang Ming to the entrance, the customers were shocked with their eyes wide opened.

They couldn't believe the scene taking place in front of them as they tried to rub their eyes to check they're not seeing an illusion.

"What's going on with Alchemist Ren guiding Jiang Ming?"

"Who knows but one thing we know now is that Jiang Ming is not as simple as he looks."

"Luckily I haven't offended Jiang Ming or else I'm going to have trouble sleeping at night while thinking that Jiang Ming would take revenge against me."

The customers were glad that they didn't pour salt into Jiang Ming's wound when Sun Jichen exclaimed about calling Jiang Ming a rapist who tried to violate a beauty.

With Jiang Ming being held in high regard by Alchemist Ren, this news quickly spread around to the people, and soon, someone heard it.

This person was Shaoxing Ming, a person who was known as the most talented and prodigy in the main family. He was the son of an elder in the main family of the Ming Family and also Jiang Ming's younger cousin.

Although the original Jiang Ming was older than him, his talent was far better than Jiang Ming but unfortunately for him, he was not the son of the patriarch but an elder instead.

Thus, he was jealous of Jiang Ming who was considered trash among the family but held high status.

"Damn it all, why did this trash get held in such high regard from Alchemist Ren. Are you sure this is true and not some ridiculous lies?" Shaoxing Ming shouted at the servant who relayed this news to him.

"Y-Yes young master, it has been confirmed and Alchemist Ren has even turned into a guide to show Jiang Ming the entrance door with a respectful face." The servant said nervously.

However, before he can try to excuse himself, Shaoxing Ming slapped him across the cheek, causing the servant to cough up blood and drop to the floor.

"Hmph, trash like you are the same as Jiang Ming. Get out of my damn sight or I will cripple you right here," Shaoxing Ming scoffed as he sat back down in the chair and grabbed a cup to drink some tea.

The servant didn't dare to utter any complaints as he got up and bowed slightly before leaving with a red handprint mark on his right cheek.

'Jiang Ming, to think that you not only survived the beating from my people but also turned into a different person. I've underestimated you this time.' Shaoxing Ming cursed inwardly as he tried to think up a strategy.

He was now afraid that Jiang Ming was only acting like an ignorant kid until now when he could no longer conceal his skills. The servant said Jiang Ming was extremely confident and arrogant, a complete opposite of his personality.

At this time, an unknown black-cloaked man slowly arrived in front of Shaoxing Ming before sitting down.

"Master," Shaoxing Ming hurriedly got up and bowed as he said in a respectful tone.

The black-cloaked man calmly showed his hand to indicate to him to sit back down before speaking something to him. Shaoxing Ming carefully listens to each and every word without daring to miss a single thing.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming has gotten out of the alchemist guild at last with Hong Ling following tightly behind.

"So, have you regret your decision to follow me?" Jiang Ming asked softly as he strolled around the streets.

Hong Ling was surprised by his sudden question and shook her head quickly. "I have never regretted a decision I made in my life."

Jiang Ming turned around to look at Hong Ling and saw a resolute and determined expression from her.

"Good, now as I've said before, following me will only benefit you in the future and I can guarantee you that everyone would be jealous to learn about the opportunity you've gotten."

Jiang Ming caressed her cheek softly as he continued. "When we get back to my house, I will check on your constitution and physique to see the best cultivation method for you to learn."

"I understand young master," Hong Ling bowed respectfully as she showed an eager expression to be able to cultivate soon.

However, Jiang Ming became a bit displeased, even having an irritated expression in her reply.

Hong Ling became petrified and wondered if she said anything wrong to displease Jiang Ming.

"I'm sorry young master. If I've said anything wrong, please forgive my insolence," Hong Ling pleaded for mercy instantly, attracting the people in the street for the sudden outburst.

Although the crowd was curious about the situation happening, they only glanced briefly before returning to their businesses.

It was clear as day that Jiang Ming was a young master and Hong Ling was a lowly mortal who is a maid in their eyes. Thus, they didn't care nor bother since such a scene was common every day where a maid can get violated, bullied, or thrashed by a young master daily.

Jiang Ming could only rub his head as he forgot an important thing. 'This is no longer Cultivation Omega where they are NPC who can be revived whenever you kill them. They are a living human being.'

Jiang Ming sighed as he was careless in his attitude of treating Hong Ling.

​ He may have killed many people ruthlessly but since Hong Ling now belongs to him, he needed to make sure she doesn't hold any fear toward him.

Having a subordinate who is afraid of you is never going to end well in the long run. Only by having a subordinate who is completely loyal and faithful to you can help you with many things.

Jiang Ming held Hong Ling's shoulder tightly before taking a deep breath as he prepared to think of a speech.
