"Qianyu, what's wrong? Your face is so red?"
At this moment, Bai Qiushui, who had just come downstairs, saw Nangong Qianyu with a flushed face and asked curiously.
"Ah! Qiu... Sister Qiushui, it's nothing, it's just too hot!" Nangong Qianyu dared not linger, afraid that Bai Qiushui would notice anything unusual.
"Hmm! This expression, why does it feel so familiar?" Looking at Nangong Qianyu's retreating back, Bai Qiushui muttered to herself.
Not long after, Fang Junxue also came down.
Her complexion was also slightly rosy, but it was different from Nangong Qianyu's. The latter could clearly see a trace of shyness, while Fang Junxue's face showed more coquettishness and gentleness.
Seeing the two women with different charms, Bai Qiushui's doubts grew even stronger.
What was going on?
Unfortunately, no one could answer her. Perhaps when she knew, her pretty face would also be tinged with the color of sunset.
Afterward, Ye Ming brought the prepared breakfast to the dining table.
During the meal, the atmosphere was slightly awkward. This was because no one spoke at all.
Whether it was because they were too focused on the delicacies or for other reasons, the peace was broken by the doorbell until the breakfast on the plates was swept clean.
"I'll go get the door!"
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu, usually the most talkative, immediately stood up, relieved at the same time.
The atmosphere just now was really too oppressive.
"It's all Ye Ming's fault, that bastard, daring to... to me so early in the morning..." Nangong Qianyu shook her head frantically, calming the ripples in her heart.
When she opened the door, Nangong Qianyu saw a middle-aged man standing at the entrance.
"Hua... Minister Hua!"
Seeing this person, Nangong Qianyu was also stunned. She had never expected that the top leader of Minghai City would visit.
"Miss Nangong, forgive my intrusion!" Hua Tianmin said to Nangong Qianyu with a smile.
"No... no, you are too kind, please come in!" Nangong Qianyu was a little overwhelmed and quickly gestured for him to enter.
"No need, I'm here to find..."
Before Hua Tianmin could finish speaking, Ye Ming walked over with a smile and said, "He's here to find me."
"Young friend Ye is correct!" Hua Tianmin's tone was still amiable. However, there was a hint of surprise in it.
From Ye Ming's reaction, his arrival did not surprise him.
"Qianyu, you go in first!" Ye Ming said.
"Okay!"
At this time, Nangong Qianyu naturally would not make things difficult for Ye Ming.
"You already knew I was coming to find you!" Although he had some guesses, Hua Tianmin still asked.
The two walked along a small path, side by side, with no distinction in status.
"But it's a little earlier than I expected." Ye Ming indirectly answered his question, then pointed to the sky and said with a smile, "After all, the sun has just risen."
"Hahaha!" Hua Tianmin laughed heartily, "I'm an impatient person. Once something is on my mind, I want to complete it as soon as possible." Then his tone shifted, and his eyes held a hint of questioning as he looked at Ye Ming, "Since I'm here, you should know why I've come!"
As his words fell, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop a few degrees, with a hint of coldness.
"You have publicly revealed such a divine object as the Dao Heart Jade, what is your intention?"
Since both parties knew each other's thoughts, Hua Tianmin didn't need to probe further.
Although the higher-ups wanted him to send Ye Ming into the military, currently, the series of events that had occurred in Minghai City did not allow him to focus solely on that matter.
After all, the peace of Minghai City was his top priority.
Moreover, all the events that had happened so far were closely related to the young man in front of him. Therefore, he had to understand Ye Ming's purpose behind these events.
"I'm sorry! I cannot tell you my purpose for now!" Facing Hua Tianmin's questioning, Ye Ming did not give him the answer he wanted.
Of course, it was also possible that his answer would not convince Hua Tianmin.
"You..."
Upon hearing this, the sharpness in Hua Tianmin's eyes became evident. Around him, an invisible storm seemed to be brewing, ready to attack Ye Ming at any moment.
"Do you know that due to the Dao Heart Jade, there have been multiple conflicts among ancient martial artists in Minghai? If this continues, you should know the consequences." Hua Tianmin looked coldly at the mysterious young man, but he still did not make a move.
"I know!"
Ye Ming answered this question very seriously. However, this was also something he could not help.
Since he had chosen this path, he had to see it through. Whether he could succeed in the future was not something to be considered now.
All he could do was to take each step well in the present.
"You know! Then..."
Before Hua Tianmin could finish speaking, Ye Ming suddenly turned to look at him. His deep eyes were filled with determination and decisiveness, and he said in a deep voice, "I will control the things you are worried about. As for the rest, do not ask!"
Control!
When he heard these words, two sharp glints flashed in Hua Tianmin's eyes.
Ye Ming said "control," not "eradicate."
This meant that such things would not stop here.
"I cannot allow you to act so recklessly!"
Understanding this, a vast aura suddenly emanated from Hua Tianmin, instantly enveloping Ye Ming.
This!
He was a Martial King!
At this moment, Hua Tianmin felt that the young man before him was dangerous. Although he didn't know Ye Ming's purpose, his intuition told him that there was a crazy plan behind these events.
"Are you sure you want to attack me?"
Feeling the pressure on his body, Ye Ming did not retaliate immediately. Instead, he looked at Hua Tianmin coldly, his words carrying a warning.
Ye Ming did not want to be enemies with Hua Tianmin. But if things were forced to that point, he would not hold back.
"It's my duty!" Hua Tianmin looked at Ye Ming, his aura intensifying again: "Your current actions have already threatened ordinary people. I cannot turn a blind eye to it."
As his words fell, the true qi flowing around Hua Tianmin slowly began to converge towards his right fist. In an instant, an invincible and domineering fist imprint struck towards Ye Ming.
Hua Tianmin decided to subdue him first. Other matters could be discussed later.
Facing Hua Tianmin's full-power attack, Ye Ming showed no fear in his eyes.
"Fine!" Ye Ming sighed slightly.
Then, he merely extended a finger to block where Hua Tianmin's fist imprint was directed.
As fist met finger, in an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and everything became still.
"Boom!"
The next second, accompanied by a burst of energy, the scattered true qi stirred up countless dust and swept out in all directions. The originally intact bluestone ground turned into scattered stones, ravaged.
"This... how is it possible?"
Hua Tianmin looked at the finger blocking his fist imprint, the disbelief on his face impossible to conceal.
Before, he knew Ye Ming was definitely not simple. Even if he was stronger than him, it was within his expectations. But what he was seeing now clearly exceeded his comprehension.
Ye Ming's strength had reached a height he could not understand.
"You can go now!" Ye Ming said to Hua Tianmin expressionlessly, "If there is a next time, I will kill you!"
Since the decision had been made, there were no more concerns.
"Thank you, young friend, for sparing my life!" Hua Tianmin clasped his hands and said with a heavy heart.
After this battle, he knew that he was no longer able to stop it. The only thing he could do afterward was to report it.
Hua Tianmin turned and walked away, his steps no longer as light as when he arrived.
"Young friend Ye, that medal is the country's recognition of you. Even if you don't accept it, it still has its meaning. Therefore, I will keep it for you."
After speaking, Hua Tianmin left with a haggard body.
Watching his departing back, Ye Ming's emotions did not fluctuate much.
He knew very well that this was just the beginning.
Similarly, he would not waver.
But strangely, after Hua Tianmin left, Ye Ming did not leave.
Instead, he stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something?
"Lord... Lord God!"
