C24 Qin Ming's Domineeringness.

Qin Ming would have felt he sullied his hands if he had used them. So, he resorted to his feet throughout the ordeal, aiming kicks squarely at the faces of the Chen Family's servants, leaving them all with swollen visages.

After the deed, Qin Ming stood tall and dusted off his hands. The Chen Family's servants were sprawled on the ground, and First Miss Chen stared at him, her shock mingling with fury.

"Sister, look at them. I've avenged you," Qin Ming declared, turning to Qin Qing.

Surveying the Chen servants, Qin Qing noted their puffy faces, particularly the servants whose teeth had been knocked out and were now scouring the ground for them. The sight drew a laugh from her.

Qin Qing's laughter set off a chain reaction, with the surrounding crowd joining in.

"Haha..."

"Just look at First Miss Chen. She wasn't exactly a beauty to start with, but now, beaten into a pig's head, she's downright hideous. If I had a daughter that ugly, I'd never let her step outside."

"And those servants, acting all fierce before—now look at them, lying there. Turns out they're the type to bully the weak and cower before the strong."

"..."

First Miss Chen, unaccustomed to such disgrace, pointed at the onlookers and shouted, "You'll all pay for this. The Chen Family won't forget!"

Her words sparked realization among the crowd. Despite the Chen Family's current state, they were still a force to be reckoned with, a family beyond the reach of the common folk.

"Run..." At that cry, the crowd dispersed in an instant.

With the crowd gone, First Miss Chen's spirits lifted slightly, her confidence creeping back. She glared at Qin Ming and challenged him, "If you're so brave, tell me your name. I swear I'll get back at you."

She was already plotting to seek her brother's aid in avenging her once home.

Her brother, the eldest son of the Chen Family, had reached the rank of Martial Master.

"The Qin Family, Qin Ming!" he stated plainly, then took Qin Qing by the hand and strode confidently toward Jueming Pavilion.

First Miss Chen, watching Qin Ming leave, seethed with anger, her thoughts of vengeance burning hotter.

"Let's return to the Chen Family. I'm going to find my brother right now—he'll see justice done."

Meanwhile, Qin Ming and Qin Qing were already a distance away. Qin Qing gazed at her brother, her face alight with joy.

She cherished the feeling of her brother's protection, which enveloped her in security and made the world seem bathed in sunlight.

Yet, her brother had just struck First Miss Chen on her behalf, and worry crept in.

"Brother, you've struck First Miss Chen. What if she seeks revenge? I've heard her brother is exceptionally gifted, and the Chen Family is one of the three great families. Our Qin Family... we're not their match..."

Gently patting her head, Qin Ming reassured her, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, the Chen Family means nothing."

"Okay!" Qin Qing beamed, her brother's assurance all she needed to feel at ease.

But as Qin Ming caught sight of the lingering red mark on his sister's face, his expression chilled.

Chen Family, I won't let this go.

You dared to harm my sister. You will all pay.

Just then, they had reached the Jueming Pavilion.

"Welcome, please come inside and take a seat," the maidservant said, spotting Qin Ming and Qin Qing and promptly inviting them in with a courteous gesture.

Qin Ming intercepted the maidservant who was about to summon Manager Lee and said, "I need several types of Spiritual Plants. There's no need to call for Manager Lee."

The maidservant quickly ceased her attempt to fetch Manager Lee and asked, "Which Spiritual Plants would you like? I'll fetch them immediately."

"Ice Li Bark, Ice Heart Herb..." Qin Ming listed several Spiritual Plants.

All of these were common First Grade Spiritual Plants.
