Chapter 656: [Way of the Jin Cart]—Clear the Field!
First review, auxiliary member.
Second review, probationary.
Third review, Formal Investigator.
Qin Jinghao was overjoyed: "Thank you, Grand Duke Lu!!!!"
The chance to rise above the common crowd, it was here!!!!
Meanwhile.
In the backyard courtyard of the All Under Heaven One Family restaurant.
Feng Yueming held a long whip, lashing it repeatedly at the storytelling youth bound to the artificial rockery!
*Crack! Crack! Crack!*
The sound of the whip rang out, each strike leaving a vicious bloody welt on the young man's body, splitting his skin and flesh.As she beat him.
Feng Yueming cursed.
"You lowly scum!!!"
"Aren't you quite the talker!"
"You even incited other guests to join in criticizing me!!!"
"What kind of thing are you, you think you're worthy of stealing my spotlight!!"
"Lu Ding, Lu Ding, Lu Ding, Lu Ding isn't your father, Lu Ding doesn't pay you!!"
Feng Yueming spoke angrily.
She was utterly sick of hearing those two words, 'Lu Ding'.
Ever since Lu Ding arrived in the new city and stirred up a series of events, the topics of discussion among the guests at All Under Heaven One Family were no longer her performances.
It was what Lu Ding had done now.
This also made Feng Yueming develop a deep dislike for this man she had never met.
But due to Lu Ding's status, she never dared to voice any dissatisfaction about him in public.
She could still manage to hold it in.
But today, she truly couldn't hold back.
Clearly, she was the main attraction, and Lu Ding wasn't even here.
Yet, through the mouth of a mere commoner, he had stolen her limelight.
This made Feng Yueming feel humiliated.
If Lu Ding had come in person, she could accept it.
But this current situation, she couldn't accept it.
Jian Suixin, who had been sitting to the side, stood up and came over, gently taking hold of Feng Yueming's hand that held the whip.
"Don't be angry, Yueming, you'll ruin your health getting so worked up later."
"This kind of person, we can just deal with him properly later."
Feng Yueming stopped her actions, frowning slightly.
Glancing at the young man who was breathing more out than in, she said, "Killing him... wouldn't that create enmity with Lu Ding...."
As the old saying goes, commoners don't fight with officials.
Moreover, she was just a performer.
Feng Yueming was very clear about her own position on this.
If it weren't for Jian Suixin's affection for her, and if Jian Suixin weren't willing to use force.
Her fate would probably be quite miserable.
Back then, her meeting with Jian Suixin was precisely because a local tyrant wanted to forcefully take her as a concubine, and Jian Suixin saved her. It was that simple.
Perhaps because she had experienced these things.
Feng Yueming was exceptionally sensitive about matters of status and power.
Jian Suixin took the long whip from her hand: "Someone of Lu Ding's status, how could he possibly care about him."
"Besides, not killing him is what might create enmity with Lu Ding. Killing him actually settles things once and for all. Once he's dead, I'll take some gifts later and personally visit Lu Ding."
"Giving him face, I believe nothing will happen."
At this moment, Jian Suixin's thinking was like that of some drivers without a conscience.
If you hit someone and they're just injured, not dead, then there might be some trouble later.
But if they die outright, then it's simple, just compensate with money and apologies, and it's over.
It's essentially forced trade.
Using the concept of goods to define life.
Feng Yueming listened to these words, thinking it over in her mind.
Although Lu Ding was a special envoy, a noble status, this storyteller wasn't a special envoy. Moreover, considering the energy and status of the Fierce Pursuit Hall.
Killing an unimportant person, and this was still within the Lady's Temple area.
It should... be fine.
Lu Ding couldn't possibly create enmity with the Fierce Pursuit Hall over an insignificant person, could he?
Thinking this, Feng Yueming reached out and hugged Jian Suixin's waist: "Then I'll trouble you with this, Suixin."
Jian Suixin looked down at Feng Yueming: "Between you and me, there's no need for thanks."
As the saying goes, when affection runs deep, it naturally intensifies. Their faces drew closer and closer, unaware that their death was imminent.
Outside the All Under Heaven One Family restaurant.
Lu Ding and the other two landed.
At this moment, All Under Heaven One Family had already been cleared.
Seeing newcomers arrive.
A member of the Fierce Pursuit Hall immediately stepped forward.
"Gentlemen, All Under Heaven One Family is not receiving guests today. Please return."
Qin Jinghao stepped forward from behind Lu Ding.
He turned his body to face Lu Ding, bowed, and cupped his hands: "Grand Duke Lu, your orders!!!"
Ever since he got the opportunity earlier.
Qin Jinghao had figured out how he needed to act from now on.
He wasn't experienced with strangers, but he wasn't a fool.
His master was a true master in the sense of imparting knowledge and life lessons.
His master had told him, 'Given you possess sufficient strength, when interacting with others, the foundation lies in sincerity.'
As for how to understand 'sincerity,' everyone has their own interpretation.
And Qin Jinghao's understanding of sincerity was that he could have his own thoughts, but his thoughts must be centered on Lu Ding.
Because he was joining the 749 Bureau out of admiration for Lu Ding himself!
Qin Jinghao's heart actually didn't have a clear boundary between good and evil.
Since it wasn't clear, then he would avoid this problem. After joining the 749 Bureau, Grand Duke Lu was the leader, so whatever Grand Duke Lu said, he would do.
His attitude pleased Lu Ding greatly.
But now was not the time for Qin Jinghao to show off.
This was a rescue mission!
Not child's play.
If he started demonstrating his moves one by one later, wouldn't that just waste time?
"You'll have chances to show your skills later."
As Lu Ding's words fell, he took a single step, instantly crossing the distance of dozens of meters.
The moment his foot landed before the threshold of All Under Heaven One Family.
The [Way of the Jinche] delayed burst erupted.
Dozens of Fierce Pursuit Hall members instantly disintegrated and fell to the ground, broken into pieces.
A thick smell of blood was carried by the gentle breeze, drifting into the distance.
Facing this kind of lawless, human-trafficking organization, Lu Ding would not show the slightest mercy.
Qin Jinghao's eyes showed shock.
This bizarre Slash Attack cutting technique, he had never seen anything like it. Utterly silent, yet possessing absolute lethality.
The sharp, dangerous aura contained within it, even though the attack wasn't aimed at him, made his back go numb. In a daze, he felt life and death hung by a thread.
"Can't dodge it, can't block it!"
"Is this the extent of Grand Duke Lu's power........"
As he stared somewhat dazedly at the scattered body parts everywhere, Fu Xinghe walked forward while calling out to wake him: "Don't just stand there."
Qin Jinghao snapped back to reality and followed.
When he and Fu Xinghe walked out of the All Under Heaven One Family restaurant.
A scene resembling a slaughterhouse unfolded before their eyes.
It truly gave Qin Jinghao, who hadn't been down the mountain for long, a harsh lesson.
Looking at the meat chunks on the ground, almost uniform in size, he swallowed hard, searching for a topic to suppress the discomfort in his mind.
"Grand Duke Lu he..."
Before he could finish.
An explosion sounded.
*BOOM!!!!*
The sudden sound not only interrupted Qin Jinghao's train of thought.
It also interrupted the intimate moment between Jian Suixin and Feng Yueming.
In the backyard courtyard of All Under Heaven One Family.
The firmly locked gate exploded, wood splinters and chunks of flesh flying together.
Jian Suixin and Feng Yueming both turned their gazes towards it.
They saw a figure clad in scholar-warrior sleeves floating in.
Such a uniquely distinctive attire almost explicitly announced the newcomer's identity.
