Chapter 364: Chapter 364: A New Development Strategy _1
After examining the silver ring in his hand, a bold idea sprouted in Ye Ming’s mind.
Perhaps, each person engaged to him owned an engagement token.
The original engagement token from Xia Ningning was a jade pendant, and now Zhang Ruoyu had produced a silver ring, but what about the others?
Were they unaware, or had the tokens not been found yet?
This mystery could only be unraveled over time, and perhaps one day the truth would come to light.
Compared to the matter of the engagement tokens, Ye Ming was even more curious about his grandfather and father.
Who exactly were they? How powerful were they?
He was eager to know, but with both elder relatives out of contact, Ye Ming had no means to find them even if he wanted to.
With these doubts in mind, Ye Ming returned to Xia Ningning’s family villa.
Upon entering, he saw that the courtyard was filled with Spirit Spring Water.
All stock from Lingquan Company had been gathered here, nearly filling up the villa.
Ye Ming nodded in satisfaction and said to Lin Bingqing and Xu Lele, "From today on, you won’t need to drink ordinary water anymore, replace it all with Spirit Spring Water."
"Then, take a bath with the Spirit Spring Water and heal the external injuries while you’re at it!"
Ye Ming insisted firmly that they must follow through with each step.
Lin Bingqing still had unhealed external injuries and was very weak, needing the help of Spirit Spring Water to recover; as for Xu Lele, her body’s vital essence depended entirely on Ye Ming himself, and the Spirit Spring Water was not essential for her.
What Ye Ming hoped for was a miracle, maybe the Spirit Spring Water could somehow help her.
With Xia Ningning’s help, the two girls had already started to bathe in Spirit Spring Water.
After attending to these matters, an anxious Xia Ningning came outside and asked Ye Ming, "Ye Ming, tell me the truth, is Le Le really okay now? What exactly happened here?"
The doctors that Xia Ningning had consulted in the hospital had already made it clear that Xu Lele’s bodily functions had been destroyed; there was no existing technology in the world that could save her.
Although Xu Lele was now lively and bouncing around, Xia Ningning, trusting her own intuition, still sensed an uncertain element in the situation.
Ye Ming sighed and said helplessly, "As you can see, Le Le’s condition is indeed not optimistic. The method I’ve used is somewhat extreme, but it’s the only way to ensure Le Le can keep on living for now."
"At least, as long as my life isn’t in danger, Le Le will be able to live healthily."
"If I encounter any misfortune, her life will also come to an end."
Ye Ming looked at Xia Ningning with a guilty expression, waiting for her reprimand.
This incident was due to his negligence, his failure to eliminate the root of the problem had led to a huge disaster, resulting in an irreparable situation.
However, to his surprise, Xia Ningning appeared exceptionally calm and composed, showing no intention to admonish Ye Ming.
She sighed and said, "You can’t be blamed entirely for this incident. If we have to blame someone, it’s only the devious tactics of Lin Guisan that are disgusting!"
Ye Ming furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Xia Ningning in disbelief, puzzled by her reaction.
Seeing his confusion, Xia Ningning quickly explained, "Don’t get me wrong, I can still distinguish right from wrong. I won’t attribute others’ mistakes to you!"
"Anyway, we will face the future challenges together. If you need help with anything, just tell me, and I will do my best to assist you!"
Ye Ming felt deeply moved and quickly expressed his gratitude, but he felt even more guilty.
So many girls had been harmed to varying degrees because of his mistakes, and he still needed to enhance his abilities, to grow stronger, so that he could perfectly protect the safety of those around him.
After Xu Lele and Lin Bingqing’s conditions had gradually stabilized, Lin Mengdie’s image suddenly appeared in Ye Ming’s mind.
"Miss Lin risked her life to save me, and now she’s still unconscious. I must rush to her rescue!"
Ye Ming felt a twinge of pain in his heart and silently resolved to wake Lin Mengdie and then thank her face to face.
...
Chuzhou, Martial Artist Association.
In the quiet venue, a thud suddenly sounded, followed by Wang Yue’s crying and shouting for help.
"Help, someone help..."
After being slightly punished by Ye Ming, he had suffered severe injuries and was covered with wounds. He had expended a great deal of effort to return to the Chuzhou Martial Artist Association.
Two members hurried over and helped him up.
Before long, a man cloaked in a long robe approached with curiosity and asked, "Wang Yue, what happened to you?"
Upon seeing the president, Wang Yue, as if he had found a savior, let tears flow down freely and wailed, "President, I almost never saw you again!"
"You have no idea, that Ye Ming is not human! He didn’t reason with us and even resorted to violence!"
"Wang Qi and an enforcer died by his hand on the spot, and I barely managed to escape with much difficulty. Thankfully, I reacted promptly; otherwise, I too would have fallen victim to his cruelty."
The Grand President of the Martial Artist Association, Lu Cheng, slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "Weren’t you going to deal with Lin Guisan? How did you end up fighting with Ye Ming?"
"Why would he attack you?"
Next, Wang Yue exaggerated in his description of the scene, portraying Ye Ming as a heinous demon, even more detestable than Lin Guisan.
After all, Lin Guisan was already dead, dead without proof, but Ye Ming was still alive.
He did his utmost to sling mud at Ye Ming, aiming to incite Lu Cheng to act against Ye Ming and kill him.
After listening to Wang Yue’s account, Lu Cheng fell into a brief silence.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "No matter how vile Ye Ming is supposed to be, he must have the capability to kill you all, right?"
"Wang Qi’s skills had already reached Lower Earth Rank, and you yourself are also at the Lower Earth Rank level. The two of you together couldn’t stand against him?"
Wang Yue shamefully lowered his head and explained, "President, you don’t know, that Ye Ming, he can release Sword Qi, slicing people into several parts, with extremely cruel methods!"
"Lin Guisan was chopped into minced meat by this same method, Wang Qi also met a dreadful end with no corpse left intact, and another enforcer was blown into a mist of blood, completely evaporated!"
"I was no match for him either and nearly got injured by his Sword Qi!"
"President, you must seek justice for us!"
Lu Cheng took a deep breath; instead of raging, he calmly analyzed the situation.
After a moment, a contemptuous sneer appeared on his face as he spoke, "So that’s what happened. Wang Yue, you all were too foolish!"
