Game Lord's Cultivation System

After Bing Tong finished coaxing Zhao Tong, he glared at Jiang Ming with a not-so-friendly expression.

“Although the distribution of the breakthrough pill is indeed a huge boost to my current predicament, that is still not enough to void the things you had done.” He snorted coldly.

And he continued, “Don’t think I’m bullying you because everyone in the Northern Continent knows how much I dote on Bing Tong. Just the fact that you deflowered her without even marrying her first was akin to courting death. However, I shall renege that punishment from you on behalf of Bing Tong. Though you shall assist my people in dealing against the 6 powerful clans.”

When Zhao Tong finished his demand, Jiang Ming was on the verge of punching him in the face.

Isn’t that extorting him right now?

Just the fact that Jiang Ming indirectly allowed Zhao Tong to control the distribution of the breakthrough pill was a huge factor already. Yet he wasn’t satisfied and still wanted him to do free labor?

What a damn joke!

Alas, before Jiang Ming could open his mouth to refuse his bullshit, he noticed Bing Tong’s pleading expression. Her eyes were watery, almost like she was going to cry if he was to reject Zhao Tong’s demand.

‘Please just agree to father’s demand, Jiang Ming. I know he’s going overboard, but please… for the sake of our future? The 6 powerful clans are our enemies anyway, and they would definitely harm me if my father failed to deflect them.’ Bing Tong sent a mental transmission to Jiang Ming, pleading with him sincerely.

Jiang Ming gritted his teeth before crossing his arms.

He understood the magnitude of the problem, but it just left a bitter taste in his mouth, considering how the circumstances made it seem like he owed Zhao Tong a big one.

“Fine, what kind of assistance do you want?” Jiang Ming snorted coldly, agreeing to his demand.

“But I want to warn you one thing, old man. I do not like to work with another person.” He added.

The GLCS 2.0 was a huge upgrade, so Jiang Ming does not wish to be hindered by someone Zhao Tong wanted to send to work with him. Not to mention, he didn’t want to risk exposing his abilities to anyone other than his close ones.

And almost like he already knew what he was thinking, Zhao Tong smirked coldly. “Rest assured, I know you are a complete playboy type that refuses to cooperate with anyone, especially if their gender is male.”

Jiang Ming was stumped because Zhao Tong’s words were directly on the mark. It was true that he refused to work with men because he can’t stand them. Men are always overly arrogant and the worst part is that their arrogance does not match up with their skills.

Unlike him who had the knowledge that surpassed the people in the Northern Continent, he now also had a Gamer’s Cube alongside an upgraded system as support. Hence, he was arrogant because he knew he could back it up, unlike those average men.

“I’m glad you know that, old man.” Jiang Ming said, not denying his mindset.

Zhao Tong nodded his head. “Which is why I’m going to send someone else to work with you.”

Just when Jiang Ming was about to erupt from anger, Zhao Tong continued his words, “Don’t get angry yet. Otherwise, I’m afraid you would be the one to suffer if I told that person that you refused to work with her.”

‘Her?’ Jiang Ming was dumbfounded. Why would Zhao Tong send a woman to work with him? Wasn’t he afraid of the woman seducing him and stealing him from her daughter?

Wait a minute… that could actually be his plan all along.

Jiang Ming’s imagination was going wild, but none of those were real.

“I’ll be sending Instructor Yuan Chunhua to work with you.” Zhao Tong said with a cold smirk.

‘Go ahead and try to seduce your instructor. Let’s see how the world would see you and how my daughter would finally realize that you’re nothing but a degenerate.’ Zhao Tong thought.

Alas, never did Zhao Tong know how wrong his mindset could be despite being the emperor.

Jiang Ming showed a deadpan expression, but inwardly, he was excited to have a chance to get work with Yuan Chunhua again. Ever since he heard about Yang Liqin’s condition, he knew he had the green light to bring home another beautiful mature woman.

He was a perverted man, but that doesn’t mean he would grab every single woman home. However, Yuan Chunhua was an exception because he still retained memories of her being genuinely caring toward him at his lowest.

Such emotions were hard to break away, and since he can’t break his emotions away, then why not accept his emotions.

“Since it’s my instructor, then I obviously can’t reject her.” Jiang Ming faked a difficult expression, almost like he was being forced to accept his arrangement.

And he continued, “Anyway, what do you want me to assist in? As far as I know, the fight between you and the 6 powerful clans is fast approaching. There is barely any time or chance for you to make a comeback.”

“You don’t need to remind me of those, damn brat.” Zhao Tong snorted coldly as he retrieved a talisman from his spatial ring.

“Because of you killing Chen Peizhu, her daughter, Chen Yanmu had come back from her sect to avenge her father. Given Chen Yanmu’s talent, she was treasured by her sect and she was now colluding alongside the 6 powerful clans. What I want you to do is sabotage their meeting secretly when the elders of her sect arrive at Haze Foret.”

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow.

Never did he expect the butterfly effect to take place. He had killed Chen Peizhu and now his daughter came back to take revenge. Overall, it was still thanks to his impulsive behavior that led to this situation.

No wonder Zhao Tong glared at him like he had killed his ancestor. Jiang Ming finally understood his anger wasn’t biased.

If the situation were to reverse, then Jiang Ming would also hold that amount of hatred at him.

“Alright, I shall sabotage their meeting, but how am I supposed to sabotage? Plus, what’s with that talisman?” Jiang Ming asked.

“The talisman is specially crafted by a talisman master in which you can communicate with me even when you’re in a special environment. I want you to communicate with me when you finish sabotaging the meeting so that I can proceed with my next steps.” Zhao Tong explained.

And he continued, “I don’t care what you do, but make sure not to harm the elders from Chen Yanmu’s sect. A sect is not something we can easily provoke, so you should resolve your problem with Chen Yanmu.”

“You’re just asking for the impossible, old man.” Jiang Ming spat.

Chen Yanmu had regarded him as her father’s killer, so there was no point in discussion at all. He would be glad if Chen Yanmu didn’t suddenly arrive at his house to assassinate him.

“Hmph, that’s why I called you a damn brat. Do you really think Chen Yanmu is doing this because her father died? I might have said that she came back to avenge her father, but the truth is a far cry. What she cares about is her reputation. How could she possibly allow a culprit scotfree when they publicly killed her father?”

“Wow… as expected of cultivators. They are really heartless.”

“Chen Peizhu was just a dumb pussy through and through. He was merely lucky to have a talented daughter. Otherwise, I would have dealt with him long ago.”

“Tch, so in the end, you borrowed my hand to do the killing.” Jiang Ming sneered coldly, feeling like he had been toyed with.

“So what if I borrowed your hand? You stole my precious pearl, so why should I be polite with you?” Zhao Tong could care less about how Jiang Ming feels.

He stood up and grabbed Bing Tong’s hand, “Anyway, your Instructor Yuan Chunhua had already received instruction from me, so she should be meeting with you soon to discuss the plan. As of this moment, we would not meet to avoid suspicion from the 6 powerful clans.”

And with that, Zhao Tong dragged Bing Tong away despite her unwillingness to leave. If it was some other time, Zhao Tong wouldn’t dare to force his daughter, but the current circumstance was too delicate. He could not afford to risk his daughter’s well-being.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming plopped back onto the couch, feeling completely exhausted.

No matter how upfront he looked, he was still nerve-wracking when talking to Zhao Tong.

‘Phew, luckily Little Ren accomplished such a feat. Otherwise, that Zhao Tong would surely start a life-and-death situation with me for fucking his daughter.’ Jiang Ming thought.

After resting on the couch for a few more minutes, Hong Ling suddenly arrived in the room and said, “Jiang Ming, Instructor Yuan Chunhua is here and said she has something important to discuss with you.”
