"Those are all secret treasures of the Long family. In the future, they can be used to cure our family members of certain diseases."
Jiang Ming could not help but be in a dilemma.
Now that they were being threatened by Bai Ruqing, they would definitely have to let him live.
However, if they did not let him live, the Long family would lose these treasures. The Long family needed these treasures very much now.
Zhu Asi also started to worry.
He was thinking the same thing as Jiang Ming.
The monk and Madman Junior felt helpless.
They normally would not be so conflicted about such things.
If the treasures were gone, then so be it. At most, they could just find more treasure again.
Why should they be threatened because of this?
The princess was even more confused.
She could find whatever she wanted in this world. Why would she need to be obsessed with some random treasure?
Master Long recovered and immediately made a decision. "The Long family doesn't need those things. Qingqing, don't take those things too seriously. The Long family can still find other things."
Bai Ruqing's expression instantly changed, and he panicked. "Those things are the treasures that the Long family has accumulated over thousands of years. You're just going to give them up? When the time comes, the people before you will blame you. When you die, the ancestors of the Long family will not forgive you."
Jiang Ming grinned.
This was pure blackmail.
He immediately retorted, "Bai Ruqing, what does it have to do with you whether the ancestors of the Long family are angry or not? Besides, these things were for the Long family. According to what you said, if these things are all used up, then the Long family's ancestors will also be angry, right?"
Master Long was initially a little intimidated by Bai Ruqing's words, but after hearing Jiang Ming's reply, he immediately said, "Bai Ruqing, since you've stayed in the Long family before, I'll leave your corpse intact so that you can go to the next life in peace. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Long family!"
Long Qingqing closed her eyes and said helplessly, "Bai Ruqing, I had always treated you as my brother. Now it seems that I had made a mistake. Don't continue to be evil in your next life. Be a good person!"
Seeing that Master Long did not care about those things at all, Bai Ruqing had a devious idea again. Tears flowed down his eyes as he said to Master Long, "Father, I really did something wrong. Please forgive me. I won't do these things again."
"Ruqing…"
Master Long had always been soft-hearted. When he heard Bai Ruqing's words, he hesitated. He did not know if he should do anything to Bai Ruqing.
Seeing her father like this, Long Qingqing immediately picked up the sword in the main hall and plunged it into Bai Ruqing's chest.
"Long Qingqing, you…"
Bai Ruqing did not expect this. He growled and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth. He died immediately.
Master Long let out a long sigh. "Qingqing, I guess you saw through him."
Long Qingqing said helplessly, "Father, we can't be soft-hearted toward someone like this. It's because you're soft-hearted that Bai Ruqing took advantage of you. You must remember this."
"Qingqing, you're right. "Master Long nodded as he realized his problem. He looked at Bai Ruqing and said, "On account of the fact that I raised him, I'll erect a wordless monument for him."
Long Qingqing did not refute this.
Her relationship with Bai Ruqing was considered deep, but it had been severed now. She would use this wordless monument to commemorate her friendship with Bai Ruqing.
Seeing such a farce, Jiang Ming sighed.
Before he could finish, Bai Ruqing had come back to life.
His body was as good as new.
His expression immediately became serious. "You can't kill me. I will live the rest of my life despite your attempts to kill me. I will live for a very, very long time. When you die, I will come to the Long family and continue to do evil."
With that said, Bai Ruqing turned around and wanted to leave.
Jiang Ming frowned and quickly grabbed Bai Ruqing. He threw him to the ground and tied him up with a rope.
Bai Ruqing did not have the strength to struggle at all.
Who was Ning Caichen? Why did he have so many tricks up his sleeve?
He could even overpower the secret technique he had learned from the Long family! This was too ridiculous. He was simply not like someone from this world.
"I don't think this young man will die. Why don't we lock him up in a room and let him starve to death?"
Zhu Asi thought of a terrible punishment.
Bai Ruqing panicked. "No, don't! I can't stand this. Father, can you bear to see me like this?"
He changed his expression again and looked at Master Long with tears in his eyes. Those who did not know better would think that he was the victim.
Jiang Ming looked at Bai Ruqing's actions and felt disgusted.
What did Master Long do to provoke Bai Ruqing like this?
Long Qingqing had already seen Bai Ruqing's true colors clearly. She said to Master Long, "Father, if you can't bear to do this, leave Bai Ruqing to me. Bai Ruqing must not stay in the Long family, nor can we let him leave like this. When the time comes, the Long family will still suffer."
Master Long glanced at Bai Ruqing. His eyes were filled with reluctance, helplessness, and hatred.
Then, all these emotions turned into indifference. He looked at Long Qingqing again, turned his head away, and chose not to look at Bai Ruqing. "I'll leave everything to you."
Bai Ruqing gritted his teeth and said, "These ropes will wear out. One day, I will get out!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming walked over and cast a spell. He shone the light on the ropes, and the ropes instantly became extremely hard.
This move stunned everyone present. They had never thought that there would be such a spell.
Zhu Asi rushed forward and asked Jiang Ming with concern, "Ning Caichen, what kind of move is this? You and Ms. Long have really opened my eyes."
The princess stood up at this moment and said with a trembling voice, "Could this be a secret technique that has been lost for many years in the Qingmiao Kingdom?"
This question immediately aroused the interest of the others present. They all turned their attention to the princess and asked curiously, "What secret technique was lost in the Qingmiao Kingdom?"
The princess smiled. "This secret technique can make every type of material very strong. The material becomes so hard that it won't decay for thousands of years."
Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.
He did not expect that a random move he had made would be recognized as a secret technique of the Qingmiao Kingdom by their princess. This was too ridiculous.
