44 Do You Think This is a Wrestling Tournament?

“That rabbit is definitely real. I saw it smacking the tiger’s head with my own eyes.”

“Did you drink some bad wine? A tiger getting beaten up by a rabbit? If it’s true, the sky is going to fall.”

“Stop this! What is all of this? Go home!” Old Jiang said unhappily.

The bar was in a mess as everyone debated for a long time about whether the rabbit was real or fake. In the end, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and no one could convince the other.

!!

Jiang Ming also looked interested. He interjected from time to time and quickly figured out the general situation.

It turned out that since this spring, someone had seen a fat white Rabbit in the mountain forest. It was suspected to be eating herbs. They were curious and wanted to catch it and bring it home.

He did not expect the fat white Rabbit to be so clever and escape into the depths of the forest. It did not reappear for a long time.

However, last month, when someone came across the rabbit again in the mountains. He saw that the rabbit, who used to be alone, was now in a group, and even had a tiger as a mount.

“Wow, that fatty has no shame,” Jiang Ming ridiculed in his heart. However, he was not surprised that his fourth rabbit, Master Si was still alive.

Since he had nothing to do last winter, he used his own blood to make twenty to thirty portions of the beast-taming medicine and fed them all to Master Si. His intelligence had been far more developed than the previous generations, so it was no problem for him to survive until now.

However, now he was a rabbit that could command fierce beasts like tigers and wild boars. This stunned Jiang Ming. Did he feed Master Si too much medicine? What kind of mutation had occurred?

“If I have time, I can look for Master Si to catch up,” Jiang Ming thought to himself.

In the bar, this seemingly hot topic quickly passed because the truth was so bizarre that many people did not believe it at all. They only thought that someone had deliberately made up strange stories to attract people’s attention.

Jiang Ming smiled. This kind of thing did happen from time to time. There were countless strange beasts in some remote villages and towns, and many villagers said that they really existed. But almost all of them were fake.

“However, this time, it’s for real,” Jiang Ming thought.

However, if he found Master Si, he would have to keep a low profile.

Later in the morning, the people who had been drinking gradually left. Jiang Ming was also ready to leave. Today, the branch leader of the Tiger Hunting Village arrived. This branch was officially in operation, and he also wanted to show his face.

“Mr. Jiang, wait a moment.” Old Jiang sat up from his chair and called out to him.

“I’ll always be Ming to you, Master Jiang,” Jiang Ming said with a smile.

“Ming, do you still remember the guy you beat up here a few days ago?” Old Jiang chuckled.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, “Wu Yi? Why? Did he suddenly wake up and turn over a new leaf?”

Old Jiang shook his head. “He came to me to buy wine several times, but he never drank it. He always sold it. I also heard from Ah Fei that he’s been acting sneaky every day and has appeared outside your yard many times. You have to be careful.”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and slowly said, “I know he used to be a good person, and I wanted to give him a chance to change.”

Old Jiang’s expression was complicated. “When a person wants revenge, they’re scarier than a villain.”

“I know. Master Jiang, you don’t have to worry. I’ll handle it.”

Jiang Ming nodded gently and turned to leave the pub.

In the Peace Town branch of the Tiger Hunting Village, more than twenty people stood in the spacious courtyard.

In front of the crowd was an aloof young man in his twenties or thirties. His brow bone was very high, and his eyes were a little gloomy. At this time, he was in high spirits and talking about working together and seeking glory.

“My father doesn’t even need that long to kill a pig,” Wang Dong mumbled as he stood in the crowd. He believed that he had no hope on the road of martial arts, so he volunteered to do some slaughtering work here. He never thought that he would encounter such a boring person.

Jiang Ming, on the other hand, looked down and stood still, seemingly listening carefully. In reality, he was daydreaming.

This was a skill that he had learned in his previous life.

After more than an hour, the branch leader, Zhong Shaowen, finally finished his speech. The crowd immediately dispersed.

“Jiang Ming, you stay!” he suddenly said.

Jiang Ming stood still and looked at Zhong Shaowen. He smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Master Zhong?”

Although Zhong Shaowen was a third-class martial artist, there were many third-class martial artists in the village. Despite being so young, he was already a branch leader. Jiang Ming figured that it had a lot to do with his family name.

Zhong Shaowen put his hands behind his back and turned his back to Jiang Ming. He said lightly, “Master Guan said that you’re a young talent and recommended you to be my assistant. I wonder if you’d be willing to help me with some matters.”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his mind quickly turned. Zhong Shaowen looked like a person who liked power. If he really took advantage of Guan Feng’s praise and agreed stupidly, he was afraid that he would have a lot of trouble in the future.

He immediately cupped his hands and said apologetically, “Everyone in the village knows that I don’t like to handle affairs, so I’ll have to trouble you to make the decisions for this branch in Peace Town. I have no objections to you being elected branch leader!”

Zhong Shaowen smiled when he heard this, but he said regretfully, “Fine. Since that’s the case. Then I’ll have to work harder.”

“Master Zhong, you are really a role model for our generation.” Jiang Ming quickly showed a look of admiration and praised the new branch leader a few more times before leaving.

‘That’s good, I don’t need any trouble!’

Walking out of the branch, Jiang Ming also smiled. He suddenly understood why Guan Feng recommended him to be the deputy. It was impossible that he didn’t know what kind of person Zhong Shaowen was. He was trying to weasel out of all the work.

“Amazing! He’s really amazing!” Jiang Ming was impressed. “Now, I can go back to the mountains and practice happily.”

Jiang Ming was in a good mood.

Late at night, in a grass hut in a small courtyard, a candle flame flickered. The light fell on Wu Yi’s face. He looked ferocious.

In front of him, there were a few bottles of alcohol.

“Jiang Ming. I’m going to take revenge on you this time! I’ll burn your house down while you’re asleep. I don’t believe you’ll be able to survive!” he gritted his teeth and said with a vicious expression.

The door suddenly burst open and broke into pieces.

“Who is it?” Wu Yi was shocked.

Jiang Ming walked in without any disguise. It was just Wu Yi. It wasn’t worth him hiding his identity.

So what if Mr. Dong found out? What could he do?

“W-what do you want?” When Wu Yi saw Jiang Ming, he was shocked.

Jiang Ming glanced at the few bottles of alcohol and said with a faint smile, “You want to burn my house? Is that all you’ve got?”

“It’s nothing like that!” Wu Yi’s face was pale as he desperately shook his head, “I just bought some drinks. Forgive me! Please spare me!”

“You bought the wine to drink. What do I have to forgive?” Jiang Ming smiled.

Wu Yi was stunned and knew that he had let it slip. He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed desperately, “I was wrong this time. Please be merciful and let me go.”

Jiang Ming was expressionless and said indifferently, “This time? Do you think this is a wrestling tournament with several rounds?”

Wu Yi raised his head in fear.

Jiang Ming picked up a piece of broken wood from the door and threw it forward.

The sharp piece of wood pierced into Wu Yi’s forehead, and blood gushed out. He suddenly stopped breathing and fell to the ground.

“From the day you latched on to the people of the martial world, you should have known that you would die in the martial world.”

Jiang Ming glanced at the body and strode away.

A few days later, in the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest, Jiang Ming had been picking herbs in the forest for several days, and he finally saw Master Si’s figure.
