Alchemy & Martial Supreme

Even if City Lord had a child, he wouldn't be qualified to pass the position of the Deputy City Lord over City Lord.    

Because the deputy city lord had such power, no ordinary city would set up a deputy city lord.    

One should know that if the deputy City Lord assassinated City Lord, he would be able to seize the position of City Lord.    

Only the person he trusted the most, who was usually his closest relative, would take up this position.    

Qin Ming had never thought that City Lord would take out the position of deputy City Lord in order to invite him to join the City Lord's Mansion.    

To be honest, this was no longer inviting him to join the City Lord's Mansion. It was equivalent to giving a portion of the City Lord's Mansion to him.    

Qin Ming thought for a long time. Finally, he looked at City Lord, cupped his hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I want to establish my own power. I have never thought of joining any other power. I'm really sorry."    

Hearing Qin Ming's refusal, geng Jingsheng sighed deeply.    

He could naturally tell that these words were not hypocritical at all. It might be Qin Ming's true thoughts.    

Furthermore, he had given Qin Ming such a condition, as well as a series of courteous treatments after Qin Ming came to Hao Yuan City. This had already accumulated enough goodwill from him.    

Judging from the perspective of benefits, geng Jingsheng really couldn't think of any reason why Qin Ming would refuse.    

Thinking about it, Qin Ming's words were his true thoughts. He had never thought of joining any major power. He was unwilling to be subordinate to anyone.    

Although he was rejected by Qin Ming, as if all his previous actions were in vain, geng Jingsheng didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and nodded. "I understand what you are thinking. With your talent in Pill Tao, it won't be too difficult for you to establish your own faction."    

"If you have any difficulties establishing your own faction, you can tell me. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."    

"Thank you." Qin Ming cupped his fists. This was the third time he had expressed his gratitude.    

He patted Qin Ming's shoulder and slowly left the arena.    

Geng Huahao also followed behind Geng Jingsheng and left. Throughout the whole process, geng Jingsheng was as transparent as glass.    

Geng Jingsheng didn't stay here any longer. Instead, he went straight to City Lord's Mansion.    

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, geng Huahao wasn't as calm and collected as he was outside. Instead, his face was gloomy.    

"How shameless! Qin Ming is just an ordinary Martial Cultivator. So what if he's talented?"    

"Father took out the position of deputy City Lord, but he still doesn't want to join the City Lord's Mansion. This is ridiculous!" Geng Huahao was very angry, but he didn't show it because there were outsiders around.    

His father had taught him since he was a child not to show the joy and evil in his heart on his face.    

Although he was very dissatisfied with Qin Ming in his heart, he had a smile on his face the whole time when he was facing Qin Ming.    

Even when his father gave him the position of deputy City Lord and was rejected, the smile on Geng Huahao's face never changed.    

Although the smile on his face didn't change, he was actually very angry in his heart.    

"Then what can you do to him?" Geng Jingsheng slowly sat on the chair, holding a cup of tea. As he drank, he looked at his angry son.    

Hearing this, the anger in Geng Huahao's heart disappeared in an instant, like a withered eggplant.    

That's right. If Qin Ming did not agree, what could he do?    

Could it be that he wanted to capture Qin Ming and force him to concoct pills for City Lord's Mansion?    

If Qin Ming hadn't displayed his monstrous talent in Pill Tao, he could still do so. But now, in front of so many people, Qin Ming had already displayed his incredible talent in Pill Tao.
