After hearing this, Wu Ming found it pleasing to the ear, smiled, reached out and gently patted Qiu Haomiao's face, saying, "Not bad, good servant."
This was already quite humiliating, but Qiu Haomiao didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction. As if afraid that the latter would be too embarrassed, he even offered his left cheek.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Amidst the laughter, Wu Ming had already walked out of the room. With a bang, the door slammed shut. Once Wu Ming was out of sight, Qiu Haomiao's fawning smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a sinister laugh. He then slowly straightened up and raised his hand to slap Wu Ming.
Snap
A crisp sound.
He slapped himself hard across the face.
"You servant...you are such a good servant."
For someone the same age as Wu Ming's father, those earlier words were like sharp swords piercing his heart.
Even if she was extremely displeased, she couldn't show it in front of Wu Ming.
The current status of the Tianyu Dynasty is entirely due to the Divine Realm. Now that it has reached its peak, it has no desire to return to the impoverished life it once lived.
...
Inside a private room
Zhang Ming sat down on the ground, looking at the white-clad man in front of him, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
He reached out and poured the tea himself.
He stopped when the dark green tea had overflowed the teacup, and then scooped up the full cup.
The man in white smiled slightly, revealing a cute dimple on each side of his face.
"I wonder if Lord Zhang Ming has personally invited me to this junior for some important matter?" The man in white took the tea and, ignoring the scalding heat, drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing his drink, he turned the cup towards Zhang Ming to show that he had finished his tea.
Zhang Mingdao said, "There's nothing else going on..."
Before he could finish speaking, the white-robed man opposite him said, "Brother Zhang, who exactly is this Zhou Mu? For someone to make you condescend to seek me out, he must be no ordinary person."
"Since you already know, brother, then I won't hide it from you anymore. Zhou Mu is the person in charge of Wentian Tower, and, as far as I know..."
As Zhang Ming finished speaking, he lowered his voice as if afraid someone might overhear.
"The Sword God Palace is backing the Wentian Tower. Although the alliance is already widely known, I have another secret to share."
Do you know about the Black Ice Platform?
Seeing Zhang Ming's serious demeanor, Zhang Zhenglong became suspicious and quickly asked in a low voice, "Of course I know. I've even paid them to do things for me. And let me tell you, as long as the money is right, they're willing to do anything. They're even better than those guys at the brothel."
"What are you thinking about? You're just driven by lust." Zhang Ming scolded him before continuing, "The commander of the Black Ice Platform is also Zhou Mu."
"How is that possible?"
Zhang Zhenglong's first reaction was disbelief.
You should know that he had personally witnessed the power of that Black Ice Platform; it could probably wipe out a Saint without breaking a sweat.
"really?"
Zhang Ming nodded and said confidently, "This concerns my major future plans, so the source of this information is naturally reliable."
Zhang Zhenglong's expression grew increasingly serious, and he then asked, "Then what brings you here to see me?"
“The cake of Yongning City is too big for me to handle alone, so I would like to invite you to join me, what do you say?” Zhang Ming said straightforwardly.
However, Zhang Zhenglong hesitated.
Without a doubt, this was like a trap falling from the sky; how could such a good thing possibly fall into his lap? He looked at Zhang Ming suspiciously.
Zhang Ming was quite straightforward, saying directly, "I don't want to do this either, but there are some things I have to do."
"That young master is a hot-blooded lad, and presumably he has no resistance to beautiful women. Bai Liu would be a perfect choice. However, there is currently an obstacle: the Sun family has not been completely eradicated, so..."
"You mean you want to rely on my power to deal with the Sun family?" Zhang Zhenglong sneered. "You really have a good plan. The Sun family was once the number one family in Yongning City. Their foundation should not be underestimated. If it really comes to that, even if we destroy the Sun family, my Feiyun Pavilion will still suffer serious damage."
"By then, you can get a huge bargain at Nine Star Auction House."
Seemingly believing he had seen through Zhang Ming's scheme, he immediately burst out laughing.
However, after saying these words, Zhang Ming's expression remained calm, showing no sign of having his weaknesses exposed. This made Zhang Zhenglong somewhat insecure.
Do you think I'm that naive?
Zhang Ming suddenly said something.
Zhang Zhenglong was also unsure for a moment, and after a while he was at a loss, he finally came to his senses and said, "Then what exactly do you mean?"
“I told you, the cake of Yongning City is too big for me to eat alone. Also, the reason I asked you to deal with the Sun family is because I promised Bai Liu that as long as I am the owner of the Nine Star Auction House, I will never take action against the Sun family. I cannot break my promise.”
"But... I can lend you people from my Nine Star Auction House under other pretexts. It's just that you gain fame and I contribute my efforts, how about that?"
After Zhang Ming finished speaking, Zhang Zhenglong stood there stunned, seemingly unable to believe it.
After all, Zhang Zhenglong had gone through many trials and tribulations to get to where he was now, and he wasn't stupid. But with his decades of experience, he couldn't see the trap behind it all.
However, he was not so naive as to believe that Zhang Ming was genuinely looking out for him.
The two have known each other for more than a year or two, and they've had their share of scheming against each other. Now that something good has happened, it's highly unusual that Zhang Ming immediately thought of him.
Perhaps sensing Zhang Zhenglong's worries, Zhang Ming finally broke down, "What do you want me to do for you to believe me?"
"It's very simple. Swear with your soul that you will never lay a hand on my Flying Cloud Pavilion again." Zhang Zhenglong directly tried to undermine the enemy's defenses, but to his surprise, Zhang Ming did not hesitate at all and raised his hand to swear. A faint spiritual light flickered in his palm, proving that he was indeed swearing with his soul.
Only then did Zhang Zhenglong reluctantly believe Zhang Ming. He stood up, extended his hand to the other party, and said with a smile, "From today onwards, you and I are partners."
“Alright, we need to keep in touch. Also, resolve the Sun family's matter as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications. Bai Liu is a beautiful woman; once Lord Zhou no longer wants her, she will be yours,” Zhang Ming said.
Zhang Zhenglong shook his head. "Although I am interested in her beauty, I don't like her being promiscuous."
"I didn't expect you to be so principled." Zhang Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled.
