I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 81 Chen Ding
"Cough, cough, cough..."

Wang Wufeng fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he didn't know how many of his ribs were broken. His gaze toward Chen's Pharmacy was filled with anger mixed with fear.

The art and skill are perfectly combined!

Wu Ming has actually mastered his skills to this level; no wonder he dares to oppose him!

In martial arts cultivation, a single step can make all the difference. Wu Ming has crossed the boundary of Unity, which puts him on a completely different level from ordinary people like him who have achieved secondary blood coagulation.

With this level of strength, one could be promoted to a seventh-rank deputy patrol officer in the Censorate, a position far beyond what he could achieve.

From any perspective, Wu Ming was no longer someone he could deal with. His statement, "Change to Wang Wuzheng," might have been a bit too arrogant, but he certainly had the right to say it.

"S-Sir..."

"How to do?"

The patrol officer next to him struggled to his feet and came over to help Wang Wufeng up, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"go!"

Wang Wufeng gritted his teeth.

Wu Ming has already mastered the art of fighting, so it's not shameful to suffer a defeat at his hands. There's no point in continuing the fight in this situation. The matter is beyond his control. Even if he is the young master of the Wang family, he can only be wise to avoid immediate losses and focus on his own judgment first.

……

The pharmacy is in the distance.

Some of the people who were still observing, although they did not understand the realm of martial arts, could all realize Wu Ming's extraordinary ability after seeing him beat more than 20 people with his bare hands without any ability to fight back. After all, in this world, martial strength is status.

"Amazing, truly amazing..."

"Sigh, I wish my child could also become a Blood Coagulation Martial Artist and have that kind of ability."

"Is he a patrolman from the Censorate? So young, yet so brave. I wonder what his name is, whether he's married or not. My daughter is still unmarried; if only..."

"Stop, stop, stop, old Zhang, don't even dream about it. He's the best in the Criminal Investigation Department. I heard that he even captured the infamous Black Cloud Bandit He Tian. He's going to be promoted to patrol officer and become a big shot in the city. What does your daughter have that you want to climb up to someone like that?"

"Hey, I was just saying it casually. When he becomes a master in the future and opens a mansion in the city, he will also have three wives and four concubines. My daughter is quite beautiful, so she still has a chance to become a concubine in the mansion."

Some people in the crowd muttered to themselves.

Some people swallowed hard as they looked at the Crouching Tiger Gang members lying haphazardly on the ground, groaning in pain.

"If the people in the Censorate are fighting amongst themselves and things get this bad, this is going to escalate."

"Shh, I think we should stop watching this commotion and hurry up and leave. Something big might happen later."

Some people realized that the situation was unlikely to end easily, so they quickly and quietly slipped away, not daring to linger any longer. As for the truth of what happened at Chen's Pharmacy today, it was no longer important. Originally, they just wanted to see some excitement, but now that the small excitement had turned into a big one, they were no longer very interested in what had happened before.

In the pharmacy.

After Wu Ming had subdued everyone, he turned to Chen Gui and said, "Alright, Brother Chen, you can continue the interrogation here and find out the details of the matter so that I can report back to the department later."

Chen Gui had already come to his senses by this time. Although his eyes still held some shock when he looked at Wu Ming, they were filled with gratitude. He bowed to Wu Ming and said, "Brother Wu, I am deeply grateful. I will remember your help today. If you need my assistance in the future, please feel free to ask."

As an insider, he knew all too well the impact of Wu Ming's actions.

If he had been arrested by Wang Wufeng and taken to the Censorate, he might have been subjected to severe torture and interrogation about the cultivation secrets of the medicinal tea. Even if he didn't die in the Censorate, he would probably have lost half his life, and the price he would pay afterward would be incalculable. Wu Ming's intervention, by forcibly stopping Wang Wufeng's men, not only prevented him from being arrested and taken to the Censorate, but also completely offended Wang Wufeng, the second young master of the Wang family. The enmity would probably be difficult to resolve afterward. Wu Ming had protected him despite the threat from the Wang family. Although Wu Ming might have had old grudges with Wang Wufeng, those did not affect the current situation.

and,

The martial arts realm that Wu Ming displayed today is definitely the realm of perfect unity of skill and technique. His strength is incomparable to that of ordinary second-stage blood condensation. His status in the Cautious Punishment Division will inevitably undergo a significant change. Previously, he could treat Wu Ming as an equal because of his family background, but things will be very different from now on. He will have to treat Wu Ming with respect.

"We're brothers, there's no need for this. Let's get to work."

Wu Ming looked at Chen Gui and said frankly.

He could naturally sense the change in Chen Gui's attitude. From the previous casual fraternal address, his tone now carried a hint of solemnity and respect, no longer as casual as before.

A slight sigh escaped my lips. In this world, social status and hierarchy were indeed clearly defined, as if there was a distinct dividing line between people. Once you crossed it, you entered another world.

"it is good."

Chen Gui turned around and instructed the group of men who were still standing there dumbfounded to wake Zhang Yi up.

quickly,

After being roused by a group of shop assistants, Zhang Yi finally woke up. Seeing the mess inside the pharmacy and the chaotic scene outside, he had no idea what had happened and was trembling with fear.

Without the interference of Wang Wufeng and the Crouching Tiger Gang, Zhang Yi finally confessed the truth after Chen Gui's interrogation, which was a mix of fear and deception: he had been coerced and bribed by the Crouching Tiger Gang's leader to secretly replace the old ginseng in the medicine cabinet.

Here

While Zhang Yi was being interrogated, Hu Yong, Ma Liu, and the others rushed back to Chen's Pharmacy upon hearing the news. They were all shocked to see the chaotic scene in the pharmacy. After learning the details of what had happened from Sun Wang, they were even more shocked. Their eyes were filled with ripples as they looked at Wu Ming, and they were filled with admiration.

In just one year, he first entered the Censorate, then was promoted to patrol officer, and now he has mastered the secrets of combining skills and techniques. His status and position have undergone a complete transformation. This is the epitome of a person's meteoric rise to power.

After some time had passed.

Upon learning the news, the Chen family finally sent someone.

Chen Gui's father, Chen Ding, personally led a large number of servants to the scene. He had already heard about the details on the way. Upon arriving, he didn't say a word but greeted Wu Ming first, saying solemnly, "I am aware of the matter. Thank you for your help, Lord Wu. I will repay you handsomely afterward."

While speaking, he was also carefully observing Wu Ming. He noticed that Wu Ming was young, had an extraordinary demeanor, and did not have the arrogance of a prodigy, but was neither humble nor overbearing. He couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

Although Chen Gui was not the most useless of his four sons, he only knew how to associate with a group of bad friends and dreamed of building a great career. However, he did not think that he had any foundation for his career and relied on his family background. He never expected that a young talent like Wu Ming would emerge from the group of friends he associated with.

At such a young age, he not only holds a position in the Ministry of Justice, but has also mastered the art of combining skill and technique, making his future very bright.

Chen Ding knew Wu Ming's background; he was Zhou Huai'an's subordinate and belonged to the sphere of influence of Huang Lin, the head of the Shenxing Division. He had always been at odds with the Wang family. Even so, Wu Ming had intervened to stop Wang Wufeng for Chen Gui's sake, which showed that he was a very loyal and upright person. Chen Gui was really lucky to have made friends with someone his age like Wu Ming.

“Mr. Chen, you are too kind. I have known Brother Chen Gui for a long time. When I was at a lowly level, I received a lot of help from Brother Chen Gui. Today, Brother Chen Gui is in trouble and I happened to see him. Naturally, I would not ignore it. It is my duty to lend a helping hand.”

Wu Ming responded to Chen Ding.

Chen Ding is the head of the Chen family and a martial artist who has achieved the third stage of blood coagulation. Although he is not a regular official under the government, all martial arts masters who have achieved the third stage of blood coagulation in Yong Kingdom have the privileges of establishing their own residences, keeping servants, having three wives and four concubines, etc. Their status is far beyond that of ordinary martial artists. Only people of this level are qualified to be addressed as "Master" in the city.

With Chen Ding's arrival, the rest was up to the Chen family, so Wu Ming naturally wouldn't interfere too much. After greeting Chen Gui, he quietly took his leave, departed from Chen's Pharmacy, and returned to the Shenxing Yasi.

It's understandable that he fought back when Wang Wufeng tried to subdue him, but since it was a public fight, he still needed to go back and report to Zhou Huai'an to go through the proper procedures.
