7: Don't pry into other people's business!

Back then, the three major families had attempted to oppose the City Lord's Mansion, but Wang Tianfeng had used his Wandering Dragon Sword Art to single-handedly suppress all three of them with overwhelming force.

Ye Yunfei had been present as well, so he had an incredibly deep impression of this sword art.

Its most prominent feature was its movement technique, which could only be described as eerie!

The moment Wang Ming executed it, Ye Yunfei recognized it instantly.

"Old Hei, keep your eyes sharp! Don't let a single one of them escape!"

Killing intent flashed in Wang Ming's eyes. Since his identity had already been exposed, he had to pull up this threat by the roots to eliminate all future troubles!

"Don't worry, Young Master. I can crush these little nobodies with a single finger!"

Old Hei laughed heartily and swung his blade down. A Ye Family guard was split in half on the spot, flesh and blood flying everywhere!

The strongest among these Ye Family guards was only at Qi Condensation Layer Nine.

With his Foundation Establishment Layer One strength, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, a total slaughter.

"Split up and run! Get the news back to the Family Head! The City Lord's Mansion has ulterior motives; they are ambushing our Ye Family convoy!"

Ye Yunfei shouted anxiously.

The City Lord's Mansion's actions clearly showed they were plotting something.

If the Ye Family remained completely unaware, the entire Family would fall into a crisis!

Ye Yunfei raised his hand and swung out several Wind Blades. Taking advantage of the time Wang Ming spent dodging, he suddenly lunged out and sped toward Qingzhou City at extreme speed.

Wang Ming was just about to give chase.

At that moment, two sword glows caught up to Ye Yunfei almost simultaneously at an incredible speed.

Pfft! Pfft!

Ye Yunfei's entire body jolted, his eyes filled with dazed confusion. His head and Dantian were pierced at the same time, and he fell straight down!

Beside Ye Yunfei's corpse, two figures retracted their swords at the same time.

Seeing the other person, Wang Tianfeng was full of questions. "Didn't you say that a young eagle needs to experience wind and waves before it can soar the Nine Heavens?"

Wang Changfu countered, "I was talking about a young eagle, not a person. What's the problem?"

Wang Tianfeng: "..."

"Father, Grandfather, why are you here?" Wang Ming walked over, looking surprised.

Wang Changfu gave Wang Tianfeng a kick. "Go, leave no loose ends. Clean up those little brats thoroughly."

Wang Tianfeng grumbled as he joined the battle.

"Ming'er, you've grown up." Wang Changfu patted Wang Ming's shoulder comfortingly, feeling emotional that the Wang Family finally had a worthy successor.

Wang Ming subconsciously looked down.

It indeed was... quite big.

He wondered if Wang Changfu had peeked at him while he was bathing.

Soon, with Wang Tianfeng's intervention, even if the Ye Family guards wanted to run, it was futile in the face of two Foundation Establishment experts.

They were all killed one by one.

Wang Ming stepped forward and collected all the medicinal herbs the Ye Family was transporting into his System space.

"You really intend to refine medicine?" Wang Tianfeng asked in surprise upon seeing this.

Wang Ming held his sword and delivered a finishing blow to every corpse to ensure everyone was dead before saying, "This isn't a place to stay for long. Let's head back first."

Wang Changfu nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

To remain clear-headed and handle details cautiously under such circumstances—with this kind of Heart-Nature, he would surely achieve great things in the future!

All four of them were Foundation Establishment experts, so it took less than half a day to return to Qingzhou City.

Immediately upon returning to the City Lord's Mansion, the four of them gathered in Wang Ming's courtyard.

Old Hei had the maids bring wine and food, and they chatted while eating.

After a few rounds of drinks, Wang Ming took out a Medicinal Pill.

"Is this... a blood-activating pill?!"

Wang Tianfeng sobered up instantly and stared at Wang Ming suspiciously. "Did you really refine this?"

Wang Changfu was equally surprised, but his gaze toward Wang Ming held a hint of inexplicable expectation.

Only Old Hei couldn't stop swallowing hard.

He had been guarding the door the whole time Wang Ming was in secluded cultivation with the herbs.

And after Wang Ming emerged, he immediately took him to ambush the Ye Family convoy.

He had stayed by Wang Ming's side until now.

If this pill hadn't been prepared in advance, then... it really was refined by the Young Master?!

Wang Ming smiled and waved his hand. Three large chests appeared directly in front of him.

"This is...?"

Wang Tianfeng's and Wang Changfu's hearts both skipped a beat.

They had a vague guess, but it felt unrealistic.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Old Hei."

"Understood!"

Old Hei immediately understood and stepped forward to open the chests one by one.

They were revealed to be... completely filled with blood-activating pills!

*Hiss!*

Wang Tianfeng sucked in a breath of cold air and subconsciously reached out to pinch the leg of the person next to him, only to be slapped back by Wang Changfu.

"We're rich! So many blood-activating pills!"

"If we sell these, they'll be worth at least several months of the City Lord's Mansion's income!"

Wang Tianfeng's eyes sparkled. "I'm going to recruit another 100 maids—the prettiest ones with the best figures!"

Thud!

Wang Changfu kicked Wang Tianfeng aside and cursed, "I haven't even enjoyed myself yet, and you're already thinking about it!"

"Get lost!"

After kicking Wang Tianfeng away, he immediately changed his expression to one of kindness and pleasant smiles.

"Ming'er, these... were all refined by you?"

Wang Ming simply took out some herbs and, using Internal Energy as fire and the Void Realm as his furnace, refined over a dozen blood-activating pills on the spot in less than a minute.

"Good! Good! Good! My son not only has the bearing of a Great Emperor but also the potential to become a Medicine God!"

Wang Tianfeng's face flushed with excitement.

Wang Changfu nodded in deep agreement.

Although he didn't know how to refine medicine, he had seen the process of an Alchemist refining medicine before.

That required using a Pill Furnace!

Furthermore, it was never as effortless as Wang Ming made it look!

This was enough to show that Wang Ming's talent in Alchemy was not the least bit inferior to his talent in Cultivation!

It seemed that the fortune teller back then had only been half right!

At this point, Wang Ming suddenly said, "Just having medicine isn't enough. For now, while the Ye Family is struggling with a lack of successors, we need to increase investment, set up shops everywhere, and seize the Ye Family's market."

Saying this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Tianfeng. "I need money, a lot of money!"

"Why are you looking at me? I don't have any!" Wang Tianfeng said irritably. "Are you doing this on purpose, kid? You know perfectly well that your mother holds all the financial power!"

At that moment, Wang Changfu took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Wang Ming. "There are ten million spirit coins in here. Take it for now. If it's not enough, come back and ask me."

"Ten million?! Dad, did you rob a Bank?" Wang Tianfeng was shocked.

This was several years' worth of income for the City Lord's Mansion!

Moreover, most of the City Lord's Mansion's income was managed by his wife.

Where did Wang Changfu get the money?!

"Don't ask about the ways of the world," Wang Changfu barked at Wang Tianfeng.

He patted Wang Ming, looking gratified. "In the past, you were dissolute and neglected your duties. Perhaps you were hiding your brilliance, but based on appearances, I could only limit your allowance."

"But now, since you have ambition and the ability to match it, as your grandfather, I will naturally support you with everything I have!"

Wang Ming took the ring and asked suspiciously, "You didn't really go rob a Bank, did you?"

Normally, there are two ways to answer such a question.

One is the honest way: if you didn't rob it, you say so.

The other is to joke around and just admit to it.

But unexpectedly, faced with this question, Wang Changfu neither denied nor admitted it, but instead changed the subject!

This was a bit food for thought!
