Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Accepting a Female Disciple _1
By now, she finally revealed a frightened expression, warily staring at Ye Ming.
Upon witnessing the strength displayed by Ye Ming, Scarface had completely submitted, no longer daring to make any assumptions about Ye Ming.
Ye Ming said, "Stop the unnecessary struggle, I don’t want to harm you. If you wish to leave, I won’t stop you. But if you intend to harm Scarface, that’s unacceptable."
Lin Bingqing said resolutely, "I must have him dead, even if it means perishing together, I won’t hesitate!"
As she spoke, a tear slid down from the corner of Lin Bingqing’s eye, rendering her handsome face even more captivating.
She had waited for a day, far too long, and she didn’t want to wait any longer, even contemplating the outcome of dying together.
Seeing the girl’s determined yet pitiable demeanor, Ye Ming’s heart ultimately softened, and he couldn’t bear to lay a hand on her.
Moreover, Lin Bingqing was already injured by him, powerless to fight back.
But in the end, Ye Ming could not possibly stand by and watch Scarface die at her hands.
There’s an old saying, "Take someone’s money and then help them out." Ye Ming was living in Scarface’s house, expecting to rely on Scarface, the money tree, in the future.
Seeing Lin Bingqing approach again, Ye Ming extended his hand to dislocate her other arm as well.
"That’s enough, you no longer have any ability to kill now, you can leave," Ye Ming said patiently.
Lin Bingqing’s tears grew more plentiful, already blurring her vision, yet she still moved forward, showing no signs of backing down.
"I want to die together with him, even if I have to bite him to death!"
Ye Ming sighed and said, "If anyone’s to blame, it’s that your skills are not refined. Since you cannot defeat me, naturally, you can’t do anything to Scarface."
"If you really want revenge, then go back and train for a while longer."
"Your skills have not yet reached the standard, certainly your master has held back, not teaching you everything."
Seeing that the matter was unresolved, Ye Ming could only say this.
"Master?"
Upon mention of the word master, Lin Bingqing’s face showed a complex expression.
She bit her lip hard and asked, "Then... may I take you as my master?"
Ye Ming truly didn’t expect Lin Bingqing to say such a thing.
But taking on such a beautiful female disciple, Ye Ming had no objections after all.
He said, "It’s not impossible to take you as a disciple, but at least, after becoming my disciple, you must not harm Scarface."
"To kill him, you’ll have to wait until after you’ve completed your training."
Lin Bingqing didn’t need to think it over; this choice was her only option now.
Thus, she agreed without hesitation.
Scarface watched with wide eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed the words back down.
His life had been given by Ye Ming, so naturally he would obey whatever Ye Ming said, how could he dare to resist?
Lin Bingqing nearly bit her lips to bleeding but eventually, she nodded her head.
With a thud, she knelt on the ground and gave Ye Ming a resounding kowtow.
The scene before him left Ye Ming somewhat dazed.
In a confused state, he had somehow acquired a female disciple.
"Alright, you can get up now,"
Ye Ming quickly helped Lin Bingqing to her feet and smoothly reattached her arm.
Lin Bingqing was shocked by the simple procedure.
Then, Ye Ming took out two Herbal Pills and handed them to Lin Bingqing, saying, "Eat these, and you should be all better."
Ye Ming had been too forceful earlier; Lin Bingqing had already sustained internal injuries.
Now that she had taken him as her mentor, Lin Bingqing didn’t think twice and promptly swallowed the Herbal Pills.
In the blink of an eye, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her own body.
She had thought she would need to recover her energy for a while, but to her surprise, Ye Ming’s two Herbal Pills healed her instantly.
Lin Bingqing was completely subdued and obediently stood by Ye Ming’s side, like a bodyguard.
Scarface smacked his lips, knowing that not having killed Lin Bingqing was always going to be a worry.
Fortunately, Ye Ming had spoken up for him, which gave Scarface some peace of mind.
When things had calmed down a bit, Scarface, with a smile on his face, approached Ye Ming and asked, "Brother Ming, about those Herbal Pills you gave out earlier — how many more do you have?"
After all, his own underling was still lying on the ground unable to move, and as the leader, he had a responsibility to look after his people.
Ye Ming had originally said he would give Scarface some golden sore medicine as payment for the villa.
At that moment, he took out a small bottle with originally ten Herbal Pills inside; after giving one to Scarface, there were nine left.
"Distribute these Herbal Pills among your guys. Two each should solve their problems."
After handing over the Herbal Pills, Ye Ming planned to leave with Lin Bingqing.
After all, the tension between the two parties was evident, and he didn’t want to escalate the conflict further.
Moreover, since Lin Bingqing had already performed the mentorship ceremony, Ye Ming truly regarded her as his apprentice and wouldn’t allow anyone to harm his apprentice again.
Just as he was about to leave, Scarface showed a difficult smile on his face and asked Ye Ming in a flattering tone, "Brother Ming, could I possibly get some more of those Herbal Pills?"
Having experienced the effectiveness of the Herbal Pills firsthand, Scarface shamelessly sought more, even though he had previously dismissed them as trash; now, they were as precious as treasures to him.
But by now, Scarface could no longer afford to worry about such things.
Those little golden sore medicines had become like a panacea in his mind; consuming just two would completely heal any injury, endowing them with endless combat power and saving a lot of trouble.
He was excited just thinking about how useful they would be in future fights.
Scarface even foresaw that with this miraculous medicine, no one in Hai City would be able to threaten his position in the future.
Ye Ming said, "You can have as many as you want, but for now, I’m only giving you what I had promised earlier; the rest you will have to buy."
"As for the price, each one will be two hundred thousand. That shouldn’t be too expensive for you, right?"
Ye Ming hesitated a bit about the price he proposed, fearing it was too steep and might scare Scarface away.
However, Scarface had no such thoughts. Hearing the price, he hastily pulled out a card from his pocket: "Brother Ming, this is my deposit; I want to place an order for some!"
"I want to order eight million worth to start. If that’s not enough, I can add more!"
Ye Ming was suddenly at a loss for words, replying, "I haven’t gone into mass production of this thing yet; we have to take it slow, and with only me producing, the output isn’t that extravagant."
Scarface quickly waved his hands and said, "Don’t worry, Brother Ming, I’m not in a hurry. You take your time. I’m just making a reservation; please, don’t feel any pressure from me."
"Whenever you’ve made them, I’ll take them!"
Seeing Scarface’s humble attitude, Lin Bingqing’s face was full of disdain.
