Free Web NovelChapter 34: Chapter 34 I Will Protect You _1
She knew all too well what Scarface was like when he turned his back on someone.
However, Ye Ming did not care about those things, as he was more concerned about money now. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Then that settles this matter," Ye Ming said indifferently.
The transaction went very smoothly, with the payer happily handing over the money, and the recipient relaxed and at ease.
Ye Ming returned to the villa with Lin Bingqing. As soon as they entered, Lin Bingqing showed a look of shame. freewebnoveℓ.com
It was here that she almost killed her own master by her own hands last night.
Remembering this, she apologized repeatedly, "Master, I’m really sorry about last night! I almost hurt you."
Ye Ming said softly with a smile, "Don’t worry, you don’t have the strength yet; there’s no need to feel guilty."
With just that sentence, Lin Bingqing’s guilt was swept away.
Because it was the truth, in front of Ye Ming, Lin Bingqing was like a defenseless woman, totally incapable of withstanding an attack.
At that moment, Lin Bingqing suddenly asked, "Master, will you protect my safety in the future?"
Hearing her sudden question, Ye Ming naturally responded, "As a master, isn’t it my duty to protect a disciple so that they don’t get hurt by others?"
Immediately afterward, Ye Ming changed the topic and asked her, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Lin Bingqing sighed, no longer hiding the truth: "Master, to be honest, I had another master before you. He was the one who saved me, protected my safety, and imparted all his skills to me!"
Ye Ming was curious about this; he was curious about Lin Bingqing’s skills, as well as the other master behind her.
"But I must say he wasn’t that great a teacher."
Lin Bingqing didn’t deny it but continued, "To tell the truth, my former master was actually cultivating a very terrifying secret law."
"He kept five girls, myself and my four senior sisters, as vessels for cultivating Gu Insects. Once the Gu Insects were cultivated to a certain degree, he would take us to dual cultivate with him, which was really his way of absorbing the female essence from the Gu Insects within us to enhance his own cultivation."
Lin Bingqing spoke with lingering fear, "A few days ago, while he was in seclusion cultivating, I took the chance to escape, only to fulfill my wish of slaying Scarface, because once my former master came out of seclusion, he would definitely pursue me to kill me, so..."
Lin Bingqing didn’t finish, but Ye Ming understood her meaning and said earnestly, "Using such a method to cultivate is nothing short of an appalling and disgusting perversion. You are now my disciple, and protecting you is my duty as your master. Rest assured."
Despite finding such exotic methods of cultivation curious, Ye Ming was eager to see it for himself.
Seeing his interest, Lin Bingqing, without saying another word, immediately took off her shirt, exposing her upper body to Ye Ming’s gaze.
Ye Ming swallowed, caught off guard and not expecting Lin Bingqing to suddenly do such a thing.
However, he then noticed a slight bulge on the fair skin of Lin Bingqing’s shoulder that was also gently writhing.
Without needing to say anything, Ye Ming could tell that this was probably the Gu Insect.
Ye Ming placed his hand on it, closed his eyes to feel for a while, and then asked Lin Bingqing, "What realm has your former master reached to be able to use such profound and unfathomable methods?"
Lin Bingqing thought for a moment and said, "After coming out of seclusion, I fear that I should be able to reach the Grandmaster Realm."
Ye Ming was slightly shocked. The Grandmaster Realm, in his cultivation level, was also about at the Superior Yellow Rank. To reach the Grandmaster Realm according to the secular martial artist level planning, one had to first pass through the tenth rank of martial artists. It seems that the strength of this guy practicing secret techniques should not be underestimated.
To Ye Ming, it was, at most, a matter of equal strength, and it was still uncertain who was stronger or weaker. Therefore, Ye Ming wasn’t frightened and comforted Lin Bingqing, "Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will be able to hurt you unless I die."
With her eyes brimming with tears, Lin Bingqing knelt down with a thud and gave Ye Ming a heavy kowtow.
Since her father’s death, Lin Bingqing’s life could be described as going through fire and water. Ye Ming’s simple concern was enough to move her deeply.
"You needn’t do this. I didn’t take you as my disciple for nothing," Ye Ming said indifferently.
In the following time, Ye Ming taught Lin Bingqing some methods of breathing and indicated that he had a way to clear the bone gu from her body, although it was just a matter of time.
Lin Bingqing was very touched and felt that her decision to take him as her master was absolutely right.
She couldn’t wait to improve her strength by leaps and bounds. Dealing with Scarface was one thing, but she also wanted to rescue her fellow female disciples.
Just then, the door was knocked on. It turned out to be Xu Lele who had arrived.
Following closely was Xia Ningning.
After the two girls entered the room, they were both startled by Lin Bingqing’s presence.
Xu Lele frowned and asked with some worry, "Ye Ming, who is this?"
Lin Bingqing, fair-skinned and beautiful, was strikingly attractive, although not quite like Xu Lele, a lady from a distinguished family. Nevertheless, she still elicited a hint of insecurity from Xu Lele.
Ye Ming hurriedly explained, "She is my newly accepted disciple. From now on, she will be living here, following me to learn the arts."
It was with that statement that Xu Lele finally relaxed, a smile reappearing on her face. She stepped up to Ye Ming and said, "You scared me. I thought you got a girlfriend."
"The auction is about to start; shall we go together?"
Xia Ningning stood with arms crossed and an unconvinced expression on her face; she had thought that Ye Ming had found a new love and was also thinking that Xu Lele could finally escape the bitter sea, only to find it was a false alarm.
Unable to resist a sarcastic remark, she said, "Follow you to learn the arts? What could she possibly learn?"
Xu Lele knew that Xia Ningning had always disapproved of Ye Ming, so she quickly changed the subject, "Today’s auction has added a few more medicinal herbs; we should hurry along."
Ye Ming had once said that he needed some rare medicinal herbs, and to his touch, Xu Lele had taken it to heart. He nodded and replied, "Alright, let me get ready, and we’ll set off immediately."
Ye Ming took all his savings, plus the money given to him by Scarface. By now, he had nearly twenty-five million, enough to take a gamble at the auction. As long as he could acquire a precious medicinal herb, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.
"By the way, Ye Ming, shouldn’t your disciple follow you? Why not bring her along too?"
Xu Lele, seeing Lin Bingqing alone, was afraid she might feel lonely and thoughtfully made the suggestion.
However, Ye Ming shook his head, "She won’t come; it’s better for her to stay here and keep an eye on the house for me."
