Chapter 322: Mom!
For a moment, she felt a wave of relief wash over her, feeling relieved for some reason.
The same couldn\'t be said for two others, though.
Ming Jian stood there with clenched fists, his face contorted in anger, while Leng Zhiqing glared at Chen Tian with a dark expression, daggers in her eyes.
"You bastard, you\'ve really taken things too far this time!" Ming Jian seethed through gritted teeth. "I gave you the chance to leave, but not only did you refuse, now you dare to ask for such a thing? You\'ve truly angered me, kid," Ming Jian growled, his voice low and dangerous.
"Follow me! Now!"
"Sure." Chen Tian nodded and followed Ming Jian out of the room in front of everyone\'s eyes. Chen Tian wasn\'t about to back down. He knew he had crossed a line, but he also knew he had his reasons.
As they walked down the hallway, the tension was palpable, but Chen Tian remained resolute. He didn\'t appreciate the way Ming Jian was treating him, but he knew that being ignorant was not his fault.
Still, Chen Tian decided not to stay silent and dared to say that he wanted to chase after Ming Ming. Of course, Chen Tian didn\'t have any inappropriate thoughts regarding Ming Ming and only wanted to anger Ming Jian.
Following behind them were Old Ming, Butler Wan, Ming Ming, and Leng Zhiqing.
In a matter of minutes, Ming Jian and Chen Tian arrived at a training area. It was an underground area where the Ming family disciples spent countless hours honing their skills and pushing themselves to their limits.
The training area consisted of a large, central chamber roughly thirty meters long and twenty meters wide.
The walls were smooth and cool to the touch, with minimal decorations except for a few strategically placed torches for basic illumination. The floor was a solid expanse of packed earth, sanded smooth for footwork and falls.
Along the walls were a series of wooden training dummies made from sturdy oak, each representing opponents of varying heights and sizes.
In one corner, a series of heavy stone slabs of different weights were stacked for strength training. At the opposite end, a simple wooden platform elevated a few feet from the floor allowed for sparring practice.
There were already many disciples sparring and practicing various techniques.
When Ming Jian arrived, everyone immediately fell silent, and those who were practicing stopped their gazes, turning towards him.
"Greetings to the Head, Greetings to the Patriarch." All of them greeted Old Man Ming and Ming Jian.
Leng Zhiqing looked around curiously, she wanted to understand Chen Tian\'s intentions, but she all this time she remained silent.
Even if she wasn\'t happy, she wanted to see how strong Chen Tian was. She had heard from her sister that Chen Tian could control powerful elemental magic and manipulate a sword to fly in the sky, and thus she wanted to witness it for herself.
Since that day, Leng Zhiqing didn\'t talk with Chen Tian and always tried to avoid any interaction with him.
She still couldn\'t accept the idea of polygamy, and she didn\'t want to be a part of it. She couldn\'t understand why Emilia would agree to such a thing.
Leng Zhiqing was still unaware that her sister was already in Chen Tian\'s harem, or her reaction would have been much different. Find exclusive content at M-V-L
"Master, Patriarch Jian." Liang Wei, who was already there, walked toward them and greeted them after seeing Ming Jian and Old Ming enter. Liang Wei also noticed Chen Tian\'s presence, making him feel irritated, but he still didn\'t show any sign of it.
"Liang Wei, tell everyone that a practice match will be taking place now," instructed Ming Jian. Liang Wei nodded. "Can I ask who is participating?"
Ming Jian smiled viciously and pointed towards Chen Tian. "This practice match will be between me and him."
Liang Wei\'s eyes widened in surprise after hearing Ming Jian\'s words.
"What!" Liang Wei exclaimed, unable to believe what he had just heard.
\'Is he out of his mind?\' Liang Wei thought to himself, looking at Chen Tian as if looking at a fool.
"Do as I said and don\'t waste my time!" Ming Jian said sternly.
"Y-Yes, Patriarch." Ming Jian wanted everyone to witness the price of arrogance.
Not only would he kick Chen Tian out of his house, but he would also show everyone that Chen Tian was only a conman and a fraud. Ming Jian was determined to make his daughter see the truth, no matter how harsh it may be.
The moment Liang Wei started telling everyone about the upcoming fight, everyone started looking in Chen Tian\'s direction, some in disbelief and some with mocking smirks.
It wasn\'t hard to know their thoughts since Ming Jian was known for being a Divine Martial Artist, a dream stage for any martial artist. For an unknown person like Chen Tian to challenge Ming Jian, it was seen as a foolish and audacious move.
However, Chen Tian remained unfazed by the doubters and skeptics. His eyes closed, he just waited for everyone to finish making way for their fight.
"Are you sure about this?" Leng Zhiqing approached Chen Tian and whispered, concern evident in her voice.
Chen Tian simply opened his eyes and gave her a reassuring smile before turning back to face Ming Jian. "Don\'t worry, I won\'t break a sweat."
His voice wasn\'t too loud, yet it carried enough for everyone to hear.
Ming Jian sneered, clearly underestimating the confidence Chen Tian exuded. With each passing moment, the tension in the air thickened.
Chen Tian\'s calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the doubt and skepticism of those around him.
"Oh, what do we have here~?" A womanly voice chimed in, breaking the silence. All heads turned to see a woman entering the training area. Chen Tian raised an eyebrow in recognition as the woman approached.
A striking woman with a tall and slender figure. Her long, dark hair was kept in a simple braid, and her face had a calmness and serenity. The woman appeared to be in her late twenties, though she was much older.
Chen Tian had already recognized who this woman could be, since her face was an exact copy of Ming Ming\'s herself.
"Mom!" As suspected, the woman was Ming Ming\'s mother and Ming Jian\'s current wife.
