Chapter 542: Chapter 136: Gaining Traits, Special Physique! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2
If a sudden event occurs, if necessary, they can assu the role of Residence Master on an interim basis, commanding a county’s full military power.
During combat, if anyone disobeys, they have the authority to execute first and report later.
Thus, encountering the arrival of Master Bai, Hong Minghu’s deanor was respectful.
After that, he continued, “Master Bai’s arrival, why not inform this subordinate in advance, so adequate preparations could be made to receive you?”
Master Bai waved his hand, “Let’s dispense with the official rhetoric! You and I are both martial artists; let’s keep the talk straightforward.”
Hong Minghu chuckled, “Master Bai has both literary and martial achievents, a scholar indeed; how can you be called rely a martial artist?”
Master Bai was montarily at a loss for words as he looked at Hong Minghu, then waved his hand again.
“Let’s sit down and talk!”
“Please, Master Bai!” Hong Minghu gestured with a hand.
Soon after, Master Bai lifted his leg over the threshold, and Xiao Ei slowly followed behind him.
“Master Bai, and this lady is…?” Hong Minghu looked at Xiao Ei next to him in a white dress, holding a long sword, with an expression of hesitation.
Master Bai said, “This is the Water Moon Sword Palace’s senior disciple, Xiao Ei.”
“Lady Xiao, I’ve long heard of your great renown; it’s resounding like thunder!” Hong Minghu greeted with a cupped fist gesture.
Xiao Ei: “…”
“Lady Xiao jests!” said Xiao Ei.
“I’m not joking. Ranking third on the Hidden Dragon List, Xiao Ei, as the senior disciple of Xiao Qiushui, is indeed famous!” Hong Minghu spoke again.
Hearing this, Xiao Ei looked at Hong Minghu with surprise.
She hadn’t expected that her reputation would reach this small county!
Shortly thereafter.
The three of them took their seats.
Master Bai began, “Master Hong, your report has been verified; that Li Hong truly consorted with the God Worship Sect, defined as the Evil God Church, and your actions in eradicating it are of great rit.”
“However, according to your report, the primary credit goes to Jiang Ning?”
Hong Minghu nodded, “Precisely! Without Commander Jiang’s intervention, our entire army would have been annihilated; he deserves the main credit.”
“Okay!” Master Bai nodded his head, “Then there’s no dispute.”
Then he added, “Based on the assessnt, killing Li Hong earns a primary reward of four hundred thousand Contribution Points and the option to be promoted half a grade without conditions.”
Upon hearing this, envy flashed across Hong Minghu’s eyes.
Four hundred thousand Contribution Points, plus his previous savings, would allow him to acquire the Dragon and Tiger Breathing Pill produced by Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
With the Dragon and Tiger Breathing Pill, he could resolve all his concerns and take another step forward from his current Fifth Grade.
But thinking of the strength Jiang Ning had shown, he instantly quashed his avarice.
Contribution Points are good, but forcefully claiming them would not bring him any fortune.
He did not believe that Jiang Ning would calmly accept his exploitation.
More importantly, given Jiang Ning’s Martial Arts talent, it would be terrifying to make an enemy out of him.
For a temporary gain, he deed it not worth the risk.
Master Bai sat on the side, watching Hong Minghu with a slight smile.
“As for Master Hong, your group will be rewarded with fifty to a hundred thousand Contribution Points and may also exchange them for a seven-day study tenure at the Academy.”
“I’ll need the Contribution Points,” said Master Hong.
“No problem!” Master Bai nodded slightly, raising his hand and imdiately a small cloth bag appeared in it.
He continued, “It contains ten gold-jade amulets, totaling a hundred thousand Contribution Points; this is the reward for Master Hong.”
“Thank you, Master Bai!” Hong Minghu thanked him with a fist-palm salute, receiving the cloth bag from Master Bai.
Master Bai then said, “Master Hong, please inform the others to co over, except there’s no need for Commander Jiang; I’ll make a personal visit to his residence shortly.”
“Very well!” Hong Minghu nodded in agreent.
…
The sun was hung high.
The temperature continued to climb.
Lv Yi quietly moved a parasol to stand beside Jiang Ning, shielding him from the glaring sunlight.
It was halfway through 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
“Young Master, 9 a.m. is almost here,” Lv Yi’s voice arose next to Jiang Ning’s ear.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.
He turned to look at the sundial on the wall; 9 a.m. was approaching.
He then stood up, stretching himself long.
“You seem truly tired these days, Young Master!” Lv Yi spoke.
Jiang Ning smiled, “Perhaps a bit!”
A mont later.
He sat cross-legged on a cushion in the courtyard, assuming the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture.
As the sundial pointed to 9 a.m.
Only then did he begin the Big Sun Breathing Technique toward the sun rising overhead.
With each breath, a wisp of crimson Great Sun Essence Qi descended from the heavens, entering his organs through his nostrils.
As the Great Sun Essence Qi entered his organs, it ignited violent changes within, consuming the accumulated Five Elents Spirit within the organs at a rapid pace.
His organs grew stronger.
The heart throbbed forcefully, the blood ran wild through the veins, like untad horses, like a torrential river.

…
In front of Jiangning Mansion.
“Thank you for showing the way, Master Hong!” said Master Bai.
“It’s my duty,” replied Master Hong.
Then he added, “Shall I knock for Master Bai?”
As he finished speaking, Hong Minghu rapped on the gates of Jiang Ning’s mansion.
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
Three knocks sounded, and imdiately a gentle voice ca from within the front yard.
“Who is it? The door’s not locked!”
Hearing this, Master Hong gently pushed, and the door swung open.
“Madam Liuu pays her respects to the Residence Master!” the mont Liuu Wanwan saw Hong Minghu, surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly offered her courtesies.
“There’s no need for such formality, Lady Liuu!” Hong Minghu returned a friendly smile.
Then he said, “This is the Patrol Envoy from Dongling City, who has personally co due to Commander Jiang’s outstanding service to deliver rewards from above.”
Upon hearing this, Liuu Wanwan’s heart beca clear.
Then her face showed a trace of conflict.
“May I ask you gentlen to wait a mont? This is Ah Ning’s crucial ti for practicing.”
