Lu Ming frowned. He always felt that Shi Fang's words were targeted at him. However, he had never seen Shi Fang before so why was Shi Fang always targeting him?
Could it be that this Ming Lu had offended Shi Fang in the past?
Lu Ming thought to himself.
After Shi Fang finished speaking, he turned around and left. After that, someone arranged a place for them to stay.
Lu Ming was the vice banner and had a small courtyard. There was also another person who stayed in Lu Ming's courtyard to help Lu Ming out.
This person was also a newly joined Imperial Dragon Guard and looked to be around fifty years old. He looked rather shrewd and was called Sun Lin.
"Lord Vice Banner, you have to be careful!"
Arriving at the courtyard, Sun Lin reminded him.
"Oh? What do you mean? "
Lu Ming asked.
"Lord Vice Banner should be able to feel that when Commander Shi spoke, a lot of his words were actually for you."
Sun Lin said.
"Oh? Could it be that you know why? "Lu Ming asked. He was also very curious.
"Lord Vice Banner has just arrived so you probably don't know the rules of the Imperial Dragon Guard. In the Imperial Dragon Guard, everything is based on strength. Those who are strong can continue to rise as long as they make contributions."
"Lord Vice Banner, your cultivation is at the seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm while Commander Shi Fang's cultivation is only at the sixth level of Spirit Embryo Realm. Your cultivation is higher than his."
Hearing until here, Lu Ming's eyes lit up, "What you mean is that Shi Fang is worried that I will threaten his position!"
"Lord Vice Banner is wise. The reason why Shi Fang can have the position of commander is because he has an elder brother who is the personal guard of His Highness the Eighth Prince. That's why he can become the position of commander, commanding five hundred Imperial Dragon Guards. Furthermore, the highest level of people in this banner was only at the sixth level of Spirit Embryo Realm. Therefore, Shi Fang has a very stable position as the commander. However, Lord Vice Banner's cultivation is higher than his so as long as Lord Vice Banner makes some contributions, surpassing Shi Fang or even replacing him would be very normal. Therefore, Shi Fang naturally wouldn't be nice to Lord Vice Banner and might even do something secretly."
Sun Lin explained.
Lu Ming smiled. So that's how it was.
However, he didn't take it to heart. He could suppress a mere Shi Fang with a single finger, so there was no need to take it to heart.
After chatting for a while, Lu Ming walked into the room and sat down cross-legged, beginning to comprehend the Concept of Heaven and Earth.
Previously, in the Saint Mansion Secret Realm, Lu Ming had devoured many Intent Realm Runes. Not only had he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, but his Intent of Heaven and Earth had also improved.
His Thunder Concept and Wind Concept had both broken through to the Lower Level of the Fourth Level. Including his Fire Concept, he now had three other Concepts that had reached the Lower Level of the Fourth Level. Now, he was fully focused on comprehending the Earth Concept and Water Concept.
Nothing much happened in the first two days.
The Imperial Dragon Guards were usually very idle when they had nothing to do.
After all, they were all warriors. They didn't need to patrol like ordinary people. When they had nothing to do, they just needed to cultivate in peace. They would only be mobilized when something happened.
On the evening of the third day, Lu Ming heard some movement outside. He ended his cultivation, opened the door, and walked out.
There were two people in the courtyard. One was Sun Lin, and the other was a middle-aged man who looked like a skinny monkey.
At this moment, Sun Lin took out a storage ring with an ugly expression and handed it to the skinny middle-aged man.
The skinny middle-aged man took the storage ring. When he saw Lu Ming, he chuckled and walked over. "You're Ming Lu?"
"That's right!"
Lu Ming said.
"I was just about to look for you. Since you've joined the Imperial Dragon Guards, Commander Shi Fang will take care of you in the future and let you maximize your benefits and live a good life. However, Commander Shi Fang can't do it for free. You have to show some appreciation. Do you understand?"
The skinny middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers.
Lu Ming's lips curled up. He understood that the skinny middle-aged man was sent by Shi Fang to collect benefits.
Needless to say, every new person who joined would be patronized.
How greedy.
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
Lu Ming said.
"You're the Deputy Commander. The higher your position, the more you have to pay. For the others, fifty thousand Origin Stones, you can give me two hundred thousand Origin Stones!"
The skinny middle-aged man chuckled.
"Fifty thousand? Two hundred thousand? "
The smile on the corner of Lu Ming's lips became even wider.
How ruthless. For a normal person, fifty thousand Origin Stones was definitely a huge burden for a normal Spirit Embryo Realm martial arts practitioner.
Yet for him, the skinny middle-aged man wanted two hundred thousand.
This was two hundred thousand Origin Stones and it wasn't a small sum. Even a normal Spirit Embryo Realm martial artist would find it hard to take it out.
It was completely an exorbitant demand.
"It's a pity that I don't have so many Origin Stones. Please return!"
Lu Ming said indifferently.
"You don't have it? Don't try to trick me. You're a martial arts practitioner at the seventh level of Spirit Embryo Realm. How can you not have two hundred thousand Origin Stones with all your assets? "
The skinny middle-aged man sneered.
"Oh? Even if I have two hundred thousand Origin Stones with all my assets, what will I use to cultivate if I give it all to you? "Lu Ming said.
"I don't care about this. This is your problem. If you can't take it out, it's best you get out of the Imperial Dragon Guards. Otherwise, without the protection of Commander, you won't even know how you died."
The skinny middle-aged man's face darkened as he threatened.
"Haha!"
Lu Ming was so angry that he laughed, "If I need Shi Fang's protection, how can a martial artist at the sixth level of Spirit Embryo Realm protect me? What a joke. Alright, get out of here immediately. Otherwise, I'll throw you out! "
"Audacious. How dare you mock Commander, you're simply audacious. You're courting death!"
The skinny middle-aged man shouted.
"Scram!"
Lu Ming suddenly shouted angrily and took a step forward. A terrifying aura burst forth and pressed down on the skinny middle-aged man. The skinny middle-aged man trembled as if he was struck by lightning. He retreated a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You with the surname Ming, just you wait. You're dead meat!"
The skinny middle-aged man staggered out with a face full of resentment. In a blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
"Commander, if you offend him like this, I'm afraid Shi Fang will be here soon. Sigh!"
Sun Lin sighed and was slightly worried.
"He's just a clown, what's there to be afraid of?"
Lu Ming said casually.
"Shi Fang is nothing. But his older brother is the personal guard of the Eighth Prince, an expert at the first level of the Spirit God Realm! "
Sun Lin spoke while a trace of terror appeared in his eyes.
If a Spirit God Realm expert wanted to slap them to death, then it would be no different than slapping an ant to death.
"Oh!"
Lu Ming spoke indifferently with a calm expression, and then he casually sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard as if nothing had happened.
Sun Lin was filled with worry at the side.
After a short while.
Bang!
The door to the courtyard was blasted open, and then Shi Fang walked in with a few of his trusted aides with a gloomy expression.
"Ming Lu, you injured another Imperial Dragon Guard for no reason or rhyme. I suspect that you have ulterior motives. Kneel down obediently and receive your punishment!"
Shi Fang shouted loudly and directly pushed the crime onto Lu Ming.
Lu Ming glanced indifferently at Shi Fang and said, "What an idiot. I'll give you three breaths of time to fuck off right now!"
"How audacious! You dared to go against your superior. Your crime is even worse. Your cultivation should be crippled and you're expelled from the Imperial Dragon Guard!"
Shi Fang shouted loudly.
"Haha, Shi Fang, feel free to give it a try."
