5 Senior Jiang
“What are you two guards still standing there for? Hurry and kneel down or do you want to leave this place?” Alchemist Ren shouted when they were still hesitating.
*Thump*
The guards went on their knees and bowed their heads down immediately. “Please forgive us, Senior Jiang.”
Jiang Ming did not even bother to open his eyelid despite their apologies.
‘Raising your weapon against me and trying to take my life for a petty reason. Then I’ll be a woman if you think that’s going to be enough to vent my anger.’
Jiang Ming had the upper hand and Alchemist Ren knew if he wanted to increase his knowledge, the guards would have to do better than that.
“It seems like you guards are taking me for a joke now right? Senior Jiang is not satisfied with your performance so what do you think has to be done?” Alchemist Ren roared at the panic guards.
Meanwhile, the spectators were shocked by this display of favoring. The guards had already kneel down and apologized but Jiang Ming didn’t even acknowledge them.
However, there was one person in this room that was looking at this scene with amusement..
It was the young lady that was sitting down in a chair and no one dared to be disrespectful toward her at all.
“Uncle Lang, do you know anything about Jiang Ming?” The young lady asked as she turned her head at the old man who has a profound aura in him.
“I don’t know Little Bing. This is the first time I noticed someone like him and based on his confidence, he should have been well known.” Uncle Lang replied softly after stroking his beard.
Bing Tong was surprised when her Uncle did not know anything about Jiang Ming.
‘How can such a person go under the radar?’ Bing Tong questioned inwardly as she saw Jiang Ming finally open his eyes.
The guards were full of sweat and tears can be seen dropping from their eyes as they continue to beg for forgiveness.
“Senior Jiang, please allow us to redeem ourselves. We were a frog in the well to not notice your great being.” The guards said as they continued to bang their heads to the floor.
Blood can be seen dropping out from their forehead and Jiang Ming didn’t even care anymore.
“Enough, you have ruined my eyesight for this unsightly display. Get the hell out and I hope you know that I am not someone you can mess with.” Jiang Ming said as he waved his hand.
Although Jiang Ming’s words were harsh and full of arrogance, the guards didn’t even dare to utter any nonsense as they hurriedly ran away.
They were blissful to know that they avoided being kicked out and possibly death for offending an important figure.
Someone in Alchemist Ren’s caliber had to address a junior with such respect shows a lot. If they still don’t understand their situation then they deserve to die.
“Haha, Senior Jiang is truly a magnanimous person. A-About the pill refinement?” Alchemist Ren said as he enquired about the pill he messed up.
*Cough*
Jiang Ming didn’t reply but coughed a bit in his throat and with his shrewd knowledge, Alchemist Ren knew what he wanted.
“Servant, hurry up and serve the most precious tea for our Senior Jiang.” Alchemist Ren shouted outside and after a while, a beautiful woman came in.
The beautiful servant looked at Alchemist Ren who was directing her to bring the tea to Jiang Ming in the chair.
Seeing the young person calmly sitting in the chair and everyone else just standing, she was a bit shocked at his identity.
Nevertheless, she walked forward and placed the tea down for Jiang Ming. “Please enjoy our oolong tea that takes a lot of effort to brew.”
She smiled brightly and winked at him in hopes to gain some favor but alas, Jiang Ming remained cool without any reaction.
Waving his hand to dismiss her and start sipping the tea, she was a bit ticked off.
‘Hmph, acting all high and mighty. Do you have any idea on how many people want a piece of me?’ She sneered inwardly at Jiang Ming and turned around to leave.
“If you want to seduce me with that third-rate skill then I suggest you go home in shame. Also, for sneering at me, you shall become my maid from now on.” Jiang Ming said as he started sipping on his tea.
The girl was furious by his attitude but before she could even speak, Alchemist Ren intervened and said, “Haha, this woman is called Hong Ling and it’ll be her honor to become your maid.”
Although Hong Ling was a mortal without any cultivation base, she was still an elegant woman with a slender waist that could tempt any man’s inner desire. Her fiery red long hair, and her snow-white skins topped with two large boobs on her chest had revealed her feminine side.
Hong Ling was a bit displeased by the situation since she was being treated like some chess piece or pawn.
Alas, there was nothing else she could do when Alchemist Ren glared at Hong Ling who wanted to refuse.
Thus, Hong Ling stood still and stayed silent because if she was to speak one wrong word, then her life is over.
She knew that she had dug a hole for herself but other than gritting her teeth, she could only nod her head slowly at this arrangement and wait in the side.
“Little Ren sure knows how to gain a favor.” Jiang Ming complimented Alchemist Ren where he indicated their status.
Everyone else couldn’t wait for Jiang Ming to fail in making Alchemist Ren submissive once he started his explanation.
Jiang Ming completely ignored them despite their high status which made them angry as they were used to bootlickers.
Meanwhile, Alchemist Ren gave an awkward laugh since he was indeed using Hong Ling to gain his favor.
Beauty can be found everywhere in this world and giving one out is nothing compared to advancing his alchemy.
“Nothing can escape Senior Jiang’s eye then…” Alchemist Ren said without finishing his sentence.
Jiang Ming knew he couldn’t stall any longer and stood up to walk closer to the cauldron.
“I doubt you would want some speech in explanation so how about I concoct the real Soul Rejuvenating Pill in front of you.” Jiang Ming smiled as he asked Alchemist Ren.
Swallowing his throat, Alchemist Ren can now be sure that Jiang Ming is serious and confident in his ability.
‘To be able to recognize the pill I’m trying to create and say that he will teach me by directly concocting in, almost like there was no chance of failure is unbelievable.’ Alchemist Ren was glad that he didn’t bet wrongly.
“I understand Senior Jiang, the ingredients will arrive in less than 10 minutes,” Alchemist Ren said and left the room to gather the ingredients himself.
There was no way he would allow anyone to do this task since this was his chance to become a 4th tier alchemist.
Jiang Ming smiled at this shrewd old man’s behavior and action. ‘With a 4th tier alchemist at my service, I hope you’re all ready to pay the price for killing the original Jiang Ming.’
Sitting back down to wait for Alchemist Ren to come back, Jiang Ming stared at Hong Ling, smirked, and said, “Little maid, come over here and give my leg a massage.”
