Ye Ming realized he had spoken too bluntly and quickly tried to explain himself, "I didn’t an anything by it, I just think you’re really strong."
Lin ngdie snorted and said, "As long as you know. This ti I’ll definitely defeat you soundly, it won’t be like last ti!"
Recalling the embarrassing scene from their last encounter, Lin ngdie still felt a shiver of fear.
This ti, she was determined to beat Ye Ming.
Behind them, Zhou Dalong witnessed their exchange; their interaction didn’t seem like they were talking about a fight but rather like playful banter between a couple, the atmosphere was quite intimate.
While they conversed, a middle-aged man with a grim expression walked over.
He too noticed the flirtatious banter between Lin ngdie and Ye Ming, his face turning terribly dark.
He stepped forward and asked, "ngdie, is this the Ye Ming you spoke of? Your fiancé with whom you have an arranged marriage?"
It was the first ti Ye Ming and the middle-aged man t, but hate for Ye Ming was clearly etched on the man’s face.
While Ye Ming was puzzled, Lin ngdie quickly stepped forward and said to the man, "Uncle Liang, you’re right, he’s Ye Ming."
Liang Tianhe nodded, his gaze towards Ye Ming turned even colder and carried a faint trace of murderous intent.
Ye Ming felt the aura of a formidable person but was not the least bit afraid and t his gaze squarely.
Sensing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Lin ngdie hurriedly pulled Ye Ming away and said to Liang Tianhe, "Uncle Liang, we’re going in first."
It was not until after they left that Lin ngdie could breathe a sigh of relief.
Confused, Ye Ming asked, "Who is that?"
The man, a complete stranger, had glared at him full of murderous intent, and Ye Ming really didn’t know what he had done to provoke him.
Lin ngdie pursed her lips and explained, "He’s a senior disciple from my father’s sect, which makes him my senior uncle, and he’s also Liang Hao’s biological father, Liang Tianhe."
After being introduced to his identity, Ye Ming imdiately understood.
He had permanently damaged Liang Hao’s ridians last ti and had rendered him a eunuch; no wonder Liang Tianhe’s glance held such murderous intent.
The fact that he had managed to refrain from attacking on the spot was proof enough of his imnse restraint.
"After the incident last ti, Brother Liang Hao has been expelled from our sect," Lin ngdie said. "But you should be careful, my senior uncle will definitely cause you trouble! He won’t let things go that easily."
Ye Ming nodded and said, "I’m not really worried, but you should be the one to be careful."
Lin ngdie nodded.
Ever since that incident, Lin ngdie revealed everything once she got ho.
Since then, Liang Tianhe had been targeting her, harboring intentions of harming her, and Lin ngdie had been on high alert.
However, for so reason, when she stood by Ye Ming’s side, she felt completely unafraid and an overwhelming sense of security filled her heart.
Following Zhou Dalong’s lead, the three of them entered into the herbal dicine fair.
After walking down a long corridor, a vast open space appeared before everyone.
On the open ground, there were all sorts of small booths. It was supposed to be a herbal dicine fair, but in reality, there were all kinds of things for sale, more like a small black market, from ancient dicinal herbs to old tos, and even so antique furniture.
Lin ngdie followed closely by Ye Ming’s side, the two of them looking every bit like a young couple out shopping.
Zhou Dalong’s face was filled with helplessness; he had beco nothing more than a tool, without even a say in the matter.
"Ye Ming, what kind of things do you like?" Lin ngdie widened her eyes, looking around at the various stands and asked Ye Ming, "I can help you look."
Ye Ming replied, "It would be best if you could find so places that sell dicinal herbs."
"dicinal herbs?" Lin ngdie surveyed her surroundings and quickly identified a target, imdiately pulling Ye Ming towards it.
At an inconspicuous little stall, there actually lay a sprig of Longxiang Grass.
Ye Ming’s eyes lit up this kind of dicinal herb never appeared on the market because ordinary people simply couldn’t find its dicinal value, but in Ye Ming’s hands, it was an absolute treasure.
Longxiang Grass was an excellent herb for cultivation, containing a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. One only needed to use certain thods to extract it and absorb it, with infinite benefits.
"Young man, have you taken a fancy to this Longxiang Grass of mine?" The stall owner was a brawny man with a hearty laugh, he asked Ye Ming.
Ye Ming replied without hesitation, "I’ll take this herbal grass. Na your price."
The brawny man chuckled with an air of disdain, "This grass is priceless. It’s a superb herb for practicing Internal Martial Arts. If it weren’t that we are a sect that practices External Martial Arts, we wouldn’t even consider selling it!"
"Besides, money ans nothing to us. Even if you offer a billion, it’s useless."
Seeing the brawny man’s darkened arms and muscular physique, radiating an air of awe, Lin ngdie had already guessed his background and asked, "You must be from the Iron Fist Sect, right?"
The brawny man let out a hearty laugh, cupped his fists in a polite gesture, and said, "The lady has good eyesight, I am Liu Laoqi of the Iron Fist Sect!"
Upon hearing that the man practiced External Martial Arts, Ye Ming already had a plan in mind.
He took out a vial from his chest, extracted a Body Tempering Elixir and said, "How about I trade this Herbal Pill for your Longxiang Grass, what do you think?"
Liu Laoqi frowned, looking at the fingernail-sized pill in Ye Ming’s hand and said, "What good is this lousy pill? What makes it worthy of exchanging for my Longxiang Grass?"
Ye Ming calmly replied, "Why don’t you give it a try? If you don’t think it’s worth it, consider the pill a gift from ."
Seeing Ye Ming so confident, Liu Laoqi was taken aback and also beca curious.
He wasn’t afraid that Ye Ming had given him poison since there were people in charge here. If he died of poison, Ye Ming wouldn’t live either.
So, he took the Body Tempering Elixir from Ye Ming’s hand and swallowed it in one gulp.
Before long, a look of astonishnt appeared on Liu Laoqi’s face.
He felt his body undergoing a transformation, every inch of his muscle being tempered.
After a brief mont of pain, Liu Laoqi discovered that every inch of muscle on his body was shining unusually brightly, even the muscle that had died due to an injury was rejuvenated after the tempering.
He stared at Ye Ming with wide eyes and gripped Ye Ming’s hand tightly, saying, "Brother, take the Longxiang Grass!"
"I want to ask, do you have more of these pills? How many? I want them all."
Ye Ming smiled lightly and said, "I have plenty of pills, but it depends on what you’ve got to exchange."
"Your herbs have to be valuable enough for to consider a trade."
