Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Manifestation _1
Ye Ming only felt his brain go blank. He hadn’t expected Ning Changsheng to truly dare to draw that line.
Just as he was in despair, suddenly, an ethereal voice came from around him.
"Ignorant junior, you dare pass judgment on my Ye Family descendant; you are not qualified!"
After the voice disappeared, the cross that Ning Changsheng had just drawn suddenly vanished.
Not only that, the yellow paper he was holding started to burn.
"What’s going on?" Ning Changsheng was alarmed. He quickly threw away the yellow paper, trying to escape the flames.
Little did he know, the flames had already clung to his body and began to spread.
"Damn, what’s happening?"
No matter how hard Ning Changsheng swung his arms, he couldn’t put out the flames. He panicked and began to struggle.
Soon, a burning pain spread, and he was rolling on the ground in agony, screaming frantically.
The more he did so, the larger the fire grew, and gradually, he was completely engulfed by the flames.
"Help, Ye Ming, please save me! I shouldn’t have offended you. Get some water for me!"
"Please save..."
Ning Changsheng’s voice gradually faded away, and his body burned to a crisp, slowly ceasing his struggles.
Ye Ming looked somewhat dazed. He didn’t care about Ning Changsheng’s fate but began to recall the voice he had just heard.
Could it be, was that Grandpa’s voice?
"Grandpa... where are you?"
Ye Ming, feeling melancholic, turned and left.
Wang Yating, who was standing in the stands, had witnessed the whole process. Her cold face had long disappeared, replaced with shock and confusion.
She became extremely curious about Ye Ming.
"Ye Ming, just what kind of person are you?"
...
Ye Ming reigned in his emotions and watched coldly as the three corpses lay on the ground. Without any attachment, he turned and walked away.
After leaving the venue, the outside was already crowded with people.
The audience that had been driven out hadn’t completely left; they wanted to see the outcome of the events.
Xu Lele was crying her eyes out, sitting on the ground wiping her tears, and kept saying, "If anything happens to Ye Ming, I won’t want to live."
Seeing her like this, Ye Ming couldn’t help but grin.
The proud Young Miss of the Xu Family had now completely become a little grumbling wife.
Regardless of how Xia Ningning and Lin Bingqing tried to console her, she sat on the ground, refusing to get up.
Xu Zhendong also looked helpless, after all, this was the first time he had seen his daughter in such a state.
Ye Ming walked over, patted Xu Lele’s shoulder gently, and said, "Alright, I’m fine now. Stop crying, be good!"
Hearing this voice, Xu Lele quickly raised her head, teary-eyed looking at Ye Ming, and rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.
"Ye Ming?"
"Is it really you? You’re okay, that’s so great."
Xu Lele’s tears turned into a smile. She immediately got up and threw herself into Ye Ming’s arms, hugging him tightly.
Xia Ningning and Lin Bingqing exchanged glances, with helpless expressions written all over their faces.
They had tried to persuade her for a long time, but Xu Lele refused to get up; however, as soon as Ye Ming appeared, she changed as if she were a different person.
Xu Zhendong smiled helplessly, complaining once again about how girls grow up and away, before he left in dejection.
"Ye Ming, you haven’t been injured, have you? That what’s-his-name Young Sect Master didn’t hurt you, right?"
After stabilizing her emotions, Xu Lele immediately began checking Ye Ming’s body.
Meanwhile, a crowd also gathered around, wanting to see what was going on.
Some of these were influential figures who had come to watch the excitement, but now seeing Ye Ming come out unscathed and acting as if nothing had happened, they thought about coming over to suck up to him.
After careful observation, everyone realized that aside from some injuries sustained during the fight, Ye Ming was otherwise unharmed, much to their astonishment.
Ye Ming explained indifferently, "It’s not so easy for them to hurt me."
"I’m not a vegetarian either."
"Moreover, that what’s-his-name Ning Changsheng is already dead."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
The people who were planning to cozy up to Ye Ming stopped in their tracks.
Xia Ningning also frowned upon hearing this.
"What? You actually killed him? Ye Ming, have you lost your mind?"
What it meant to kill the Young Sect Master of the Poison Sect, everyone was all too aware.
The Poison Sect of Nanjiang was notoriously devious and ruthless, and for that reason, people in the martial world dared not provoke them.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Ye Ming had audaciously offended them to death.
Killing the Young Sect Master meant that Ye Ming would never have a moment of peace in his life henceforth and would face endless assassinations, awaiting the cruelest retaliation from the Poison Sect of Nanjiang.
Upon learning this news, some bold individuals had entered the battlefield wanting to verify the truth, but soon, one of them ran out covering his mouth.
"He’s dead, Ning Changsheng is dead! And he was burned alive."
"His two companions are dead as well!"
The crowd around instantly scattered, all keeping their distance from Ye Ming.
This news was simply too explosive; they dared not listen, for fear of being implicated.
The crime of offending the Poison Sect of Nanjiang was not something they could afford to bear.
Both the distinguished families of Yanjing and the ordinary martial artists were shaking their heads in resignation at this moment; Ye Ming’s action was too unwise.
Xu Lele and Xia Ningning exchanged glances, both with concern filling their eyes.
They wanted to advise him as usual, but Ye Ming didn’t give them the chance.
"Lele, I have very important matters to tend to and need to leave for a while."
"Once I’ve dealt with these matters, I’ll come find you!"
After saying this, Ye Ming left immediately with Lin Bingqing.
His body still harbored some residual toxin, which he hadn’t completely cleared out at first but had temporarily suppressed with his True Qi to avoid damage to his vital areas.
After several intense battles, as his attention was diverted and he relaxed the suppression of the toxin, he realized the poison was spreading again within him. Worried about the potential effects on himself, he made a hasty goodbye, intending to go back and recover properly.
Watching his departing figure, Xia Ningning had intended to bring up the condition that Ye Ming had agreed to earlier, but seeing how anxious he looked, she ultimately swallowed her words, thinking she would wait for Ye Ming to handle his matters before speaking about it.
Xu Lele, on the other hand, was in high spirits and pulled Xia Ningning along, saying, "Ningning, let me treat you to a big meal! I said I would treat you before, and after dragging it out for so long, today is a day worth celebrating. Let’s go and celebrate!"
Xia Ningning gave a perfunctory smile; her thoughts had already drifted away with Ye Ming, and at this moment she was somewhat distracted, eventually being passively led away by Xu Lele.
