Thinking of this, Jiang Ming also restrained some of his strength and did not use all of his spells.
After all, in the man’s eyes, Jiang Ming was a complete idiot. It was not worth it for him to use all his strength. He simply reserved some strength.
After a while, he could not help but laugh.
“I thought the person whom the chief favored was very powerful, but it turned out to be nothing more than this. You still want the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s here? Dream on!”
Jiang Ming was stunned.
He did not expect the man to know his intentions. However, it did not matter. He did not take any actual action. This was empty talk. It was all slander.
“How the village chief treats me is his business. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I don’t have any thoughts about the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s. Don’t slander me with empty words. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and retorted directly.
The man did not care at all. He only thought that it was a joke.
“Killing me will not benefit you at all. You will only suffer losses. You haven’t obtained the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s yet. You still need to curry favor with the chief!”
Jiang Ming’s last sentence hit the nail on the head, but he did not want him to notice.
He raised his eyebrows and said, “It doesn’t matter. This is just your own opinion. At most, I’ll turn against the chief. This doesn’t matter to me. I’d just leave this place.”
“Is that so?”
The man did not say anything else. Instead, he released a little more spiritual energy.
He did not want to talk nonsense with Jiang Ming anymore. He just wanted to end the battle quickly.
As long as he killed him, he would not have to worry about whether this person would get the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s.
Yellow Gall Gra.s.s was a great auspicious sign in the village. If he took it away, it would be detrimental to the village.
Jiang Ming could see his killing intent, but it did not matter. He continued to fight with him.
He believed that he could beat him. Even if he could not beat this man, he would not let him off easily.
Thinking of this, the two of them fought even more intensely.
At this moment, a sharp blade suddenly flew in front of them and directly cut off their spiritual energy.
They could not help but split up and go to two different places.
Jiang Ming was stunned. Then he realized that the sharp blade was not a sharp blade but a book.
He was dumbfounded again.
A book could actually become a weapon?
“Why are you stopping me, sir?” the man asked unhappily. “To think that the chief still likes you so much. You actually dare to block his way!”
Was he a teacher?
Jiang Ming pondered.
It seemed that these two people knew each other.
Then, he turned to look at the so-called teacher.
This person had a scholarly look on his face, and he seemed gentle. His hair was tied up with a hairpin.
He looked like a woman, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, gently fanning himself.
He felt strange.
He had never seen this person before, so why did this person save him?
The teacher’s eyes were also fixed on Jiang Ming. There was a smile in his eyes, and he seemed very friendly.
“I’ll be in charge of Jiu Zhu. The village chief has already told me that you should leave first. I don’t want you to kill him now.”
When he said the last sentence, his voice was already cold. It was as if this man did not agree, he would directly rush forward to deal with him.
“How is that possible?” The man could not help but be surprised. You don’t even know Jiu Zhu. How could the chief let you manage him? I think you came here on your own accord, right? Do you really want to get involved in this mess? When the chief blames us, you’ll be the one in trouble. It wasn’t easy for you to stay in this village. In the future, you won’t have any place to settle down. Don’t waste your happiness.”
The man gritted his teeth, and the hostility in his eyes was obvious.
He originally thought that this teacher was on his side, but he did not expect that he would actually go against him in every way.
He could tolerate other things and even suffer losses, but he actually wanted to interfere in the matter of Jiang Ming. It was too much.
He was clearly just sharing the village chief’s worries, but this teacher did not take the village chief’s matters seriously at all. Instead, he was biased toward an outsider.
He was really furious.
Why did the chief treat this person so well? This person had no right to enjoy all of this.
“What’s wrong? Do you not believe me? The chief is so good to me, so I naturally follow his orders. Your words really make me a little uncomfortable.”
The teacher narrowed his eyes, and the folding fan in his hand was already ready to move.
“What do you mean? Do you want to fight me?”
The man lost his patience and narrowed his eyes.
The atmosphere had already begun to tense up. The teacher chuckled, causing the situation to erupt at any moment.
“If you insist on fighting with me, then I have no choice. However, the chief probably doesn’t want to see the current situation. Moreover, you know that compared to you, the chief favors me more. Who will suffer and be punished? You should be able to understand, right?”
The man fell silent.
It had to be said that what the teacher said was right. The village chief indeed favored the teacher more.
He had been brought up by the chief since he was young, so their relationship was naturally not as deep as the man’s, who was a latecomer.
However, he felt that the village chief was reasonable and would definitely not punish him casually.
Thinking of this, he could not help but become arrogant again.
“You should know the chief’s character. There’s no use in threatening me like this. After all, I’ve contributed to the village. He can’t just side with you.”
“You’re not even sure if you’re biased. How dare you confront me?”
The teacher did not take the man’s words to heart.
Jiang Ming was confused.
What did he have that was worth the teacher’s protection?
Could it be that he wanted to cooperate with him to obtain the Yellow Gall Gra.s.s?
His mind was filled with wild thoughts, but he could not find any answer.
He had never interacted with this teacher before, so it was easy for him to make a mistake based on what he had just said.
He might as well continue watching. After the masked man left, he would be able to interact with the teacher alone.
At that time, this teacher would probably tell him the truth.
Thinking about it, he continued to wait, wanting to see what would happen next.
“You poor fool!” The man gritted his teeth.
