The people being crushed on the ground could never have imagined that the young man before them was so terrifying!
With a mere gesture, he could render them immobile.
"Shadow Guard!"
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly spoke.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
As soon as he spoke, a shadowy figure appeared before him.
"Stare at them. If anyone is still in this mansion by this time tomorrow, make them disappear completely!" Ye Ming said coldly.
"Yes!"
The shadowy figure vanished from its spot.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the Fang family members lying on the ground turned instantly pale. Ye Ming's previous words were not just empty threats.
"Miss Junxue, we were wrong, please spare us!"
"Please be magnanimous and forgive us!"
"It was those few who insulted you earlier, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Right! Right! It's all their fault, please spare us!"
...
At this, they all began to beg for mercy. To save themselves, they did not hesitate to shift all the blame onto others.
Seeing this, Ye Ming could only sneer. He returned to Fang Junxue's side and said gently, "You won't blame me, will you?"
"I've said it before, the Fang family has nothing to do with me anymore." Fang Junxue's eyes remained devoid of any emotion.
"Wait for me!"
Then, Fang Junxue walked towards the memorial hall.
As soon as she stepped inside, Fang Junxue saw a gaunt figure kneeling beside the coffin.
It was Fang Qianhan!
At this moment, his face was devoid of its usual smugness. His eyes were filled with confusion and sorrow.
It seemed the drastic changes in the Fang family had left him lost.
Seeing someone enter, Fang Qianhan looked up mechanically. But when he noticed it was Fang Junxue, his stiff expression flickered slightly.
However, he eventually lowered his head and remained silent.
Fang Junxue merely glanced at him calmly before her gaze turned to the memorial tablet. Looking at the person in the portrait, Fang Junxue fell silent.
Memories of the past flooded her mind like a gushing spring.
After a long while, Fang Junxue finally knelt down and kowtowed to Fang Tingsheng.
Some mistakes were destined to be irreparable.
Some people could never be let go.
Therefore, Fang Junxue saw him off on his final journey.
After kowtowing, she rose and said no more.
But as she walked out of the memorial hall, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind her.
"I'm sorry!"
The voice was filled with regret, loneliness, helplessness, and despair.
Fang Junxue heard him and slowly stopped. But she did not turn back.
"He was a cowardly man. Do you want to be a cowardly person too?"
A clear and cold voice entered Fang Qianhan's ears. But when he looked up, the receding figure was already far away.
...
Before a gravestone.
"Mother, I've brought him to see you!"
Fang Junxue said softly, her arm linked with Ye Ming's.
The two knelt down. Ye Ming kowtowed and said, "Aunt, my name is Ye Ming!" Holding Fang Junxue's hand, he spoke with determination, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will ever harm Junxue again!"
Then, Fang Junxue recounted the recent events of the Fang family to her mother.
Only at this moment could she speak her heart out without reservation.
Because beside her, were the two people she loved the most.
...
Minghai City's First Leader's Office.
Hua Tianmin sat at his desk, his brow furrowed. His five fingers tapped incessantly on the table.
"Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Since witnessing Ye Ming's strength last time, he knew that he had no power to interfere with future events.
Therefore, he could only report the situation truthfully.
But the people had still not arrived.
"My lord, the people from above have arrived!"
At this moment, Hua Tianmin's secretary, Wang Yan, rushed in.
Normally, even if someone from above arrived, Wang Yan wouldn't be this flustered. But seeing his expression, Hua Tianmin knew that the visitors must be extraordinary.
"What's going on?" Hua Tianmin asked.
"My lord, there are two people from above this time, and they've arrived downstairs! But..." Wang Yan hesitated.
"What is it?" Hua Tianmin frowned, his tone chilling slightly.
"But these two people have... difficult personalities, my lord. You need to be prepared!"
"Difficult personalities?"
Hua Tianmin stood up and walked towards the door.
He wanted to see for himself how difficult they were to handle.
When he reached the ground floor, he saw a group of people standing there nervously.
These were all Hua Tianmin's subordinates.
In front of these subordinates, sat two figures.
One was a middle-aged man in a purple long gown. Beside him, was a young man with arrogance written all over his face.
"My lord!"
Seeing Hua Tianmin approach, all the subordinates let out a silent sigh of relief. The two sitting down, however, showed no intention of getting up.
Seeing this, Hua Tianmin finally understood the meaning of "difficult personalities."
"May I know how to address the two excellencies?"
Despite his displeasure, Hua Tianmin maintained a smile.
"You are the person in charge here?" The arrogant young man casually glanced at Hua Tianmin, disdain in his eyes. "At your age, you've only cultivated to the early stage of Martial King!"
This blatant contempt caused Hua Tianmin's face to fall instantly.
But he could also see that the young man before him had already reached the mid-stage Martial King strength.
This demonstrated his terrifying talent!
As for the middle-aged man, he could not see through him.
"Yi'er, be respectful!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke lightly.
"Yes! Master!" Feng Yi replied with a smile.
Then, Feng Yi stood up and introduced himself, "We are from the Provincial Capital Ancient Martial Arts Association. I am Feng Yi, and this is my master, Grandmaster Liang Can!"
Grandmaster!
Hua Tianmin noticed this keyword and cupped his hands in a salute, "Greetings, Grandmaster Liang!"
"Hmm!"
Liang Can nodded, saying no more.
"You must know the purpose of our visit. Take us directly to meet the strong individual you mentioned!" Feng Yi said carelessly.
In his opinion, the strong individual Hua Tianmin mentioned was at most a late-stage Martial King. Perhaps his master wouldn't even need to act this time.
Although Feng Yi's apparent strength was only mid-stage Martial King, in actual combat, he had gone head-to-head with late-stage Martial Kings.
Thus, he had the capital to be arrogant.
"Grandmaster Liang, that person's identity is rather special. I believe we should handle this matter cautiously. If not necessary, resorting to force..."
"Are you teaching my master how to do things?"
Before Hua Tianmin could finish, Feng Yi said coldly, "How to deal with that person is for my master to decide. You are only responsible for leading the way!"
This sentence completely disregarded Hua Tianmin's dignity.
"Yi'er is right." Liang Can stood up and said with an irrefutable tone, "How that person is dealt with is for me to decide!"
