Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 244 - 6: Maiming Colleagues, Surrendering without a Fight!

Inspection Office.

In the residence of Jiang Ning.

"Brother Ning, you are indeed an object of envy!" Ruan Hongmei's voice was promptly followed by a mocking one from behind.

Turning her head, Ruan Hongmei saw Liuu Shansheng approaching from Jiang Ning's direction.

"Congratulations to Brother Ning for obtaining the position of Deputy Commander yesterday. Seeing Brother Ning today fills me with joy. May I know if I can come to perform duties under Brother Ning in the future?" Liuu Shansheng asked with a smile on his face.

All day yesterday, Liuu Shansheng tossed and turned before he came to a realization.

If his brother-in-law's brother was so capable, then it was natural for him to cling to his coattails.

With his age, strength, and status, he was bound to soar to great heights in the future.

Clinging on now might benefit the Liuu family in the future.

At the same time.

Ruan Hongmei looked at Liuu Shansheng in surprise, then turned her gaze to Jiang Ning.

She immediately noticed Jiang Ning's slightly furrowed brow.

The next moment.

She quickly got the message: "Hold your tongue! How dare you show disrespect to the lord?"

Upon hearing this, Liuu Shansheng's expression darkened with anger: "Ruan Hongmei, this is not the place for you to be insolent. Brother Ning and I have a marital family connection!"

"Still dare to disrespect the lord?" Ruan Hongmei barked.

Slap—

She immediately drew her long whip from her waist, snapped it through the air, and a thunderous crack resounded.

"By the rules of the Inspection Office, for your insubordination, I am authorized to carry out summary execution on the spot!"

At this moment, Ruan Hongmei was still somewhat apprehensive.

Because she believed Liuu Shansheng's claim that he really could be related by marriage to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning said, "There's no need at the moment, I already have three team captains under my command. If I were to recruit another direct-report team captain, it would be forming cliques for selfish interests!"

"Brother Ning, as Deputy Commander, you can have four direct-report team captains! And you know my strength..."

Slap—

Before Liuu Shansheng could finish speaking, the sharp cracking of the whip cut through the air again.

The next moment.

Liuu Shansheng hastily leapt backwards, quickly avoiding Ruan Hongmei's range of attack.

Subsequently.

Several more whip cracks whistled through the air.

Liuu Shansheng kept retreating: "Crazy woman, have you lost your mind?!"

Jiang Ning, watching Liuu Shansheng being chased and beaten by Ruan Hongmei, couldn't help but slowly shake his head.

Liuu Shansheng had always carried a sense of superiority, which he found displeasing.

But Liuu Shansheng was also his elder brother's brother-in-law, which made it difficult for him to outrightly cut ties.

Now that Ruan Hongmei had taken action, it conveniently spared him some trouble.

He promptly turned and walked toward the inner hall.

Upon returning to the inner hall, the noise outside gradually quieted down.

Jiang Ning then continued to browse through the book, which detailed all the items to be aware of in the Inspection Office, as well as the welfare of Inspection Office staff... and so on.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

As a Deputy Commander, his scope of responsibility was broader, he needed to know more, and his authority also increased, enabling him to exchange Contribution Points for more Martial Arts practice resources.

So, the book in his hands was thicker.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

As he continued to browse through the book, his experience in Reading and Writing Skill also kept growing.

...

In the blink of an eye.

It was noon.

"My lord, your meal is ready!" Xie Xiaojiu promptly brought some food and drink to the inner hall where Jiang Ning was.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning put down the book he hadn't finished reading and murmured to himself.

"Yes, my lord! It's now 12:45!" Xie Xiaojiu spoke again.

"Put it down!" Jiang Ning commanded and then asked, "Why are you the one delivering the meal?"

By that time, he had already closed the book.

Xie Xiaojiu replied, "There are currently no servants in the Inspection Office. Since I've joined your service, my lord, such minor matters are naturally my responsibility!"

"You've put yourself out on my behalf!" Jiang Ning smiled: "I hadn't expected that Miss Nine of the Xie family would be willing to do such tasks."

Xie Xiaojiu calmly said, "It's nothing. Since I was five or six years old, I have only had my mother. Before I met Master Lin, my treatment at the Xie family was not even as good as that of a slightly favored servant. Once, in hope of pleasing my father, I often did such tasks of serving others."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning expressed a look of amazement.

A lead female's protagonist's script?

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Xie Xiaojiu's words suddenly made him imagine the script of a protagonist.

Born in a great family, humiliated from a young age, yet outstandingly talented, then encountering an adventure and rapidly rising to prominence.

"Have you eaten?" Jiang Ning asked as he sat at the table.

"Not yet! After I deliver your meal, lord, I'll go back and eat!" Xie Xiaojiu replied.

"Sit down and eat with me!" Jiang Ning indicated with a lift of his eyes.

Xie Xiaojiu immediately pulled out a chair and sat down, seemingly without any notion of politeness.

Jiang Ning watched Xie Xiaojiu for a moment and smiled.

Just then.

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie..."

A flustered voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

This voice continued to call out, yet Xie Xiaojiu seemed unmoved.

"Little Jiu, could it be someone looking for you?" Jiang Ning swallowed the beef in his mouth and asked.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaojiu's expression froze for a moment.

She hesitated, then nodded: "It should be for me! Right now in the Inspection Office, I'm the only one with the surname Xie!"

After saying this, she wiped her mouth.

"My lord, I'll go out and check who's looking for me and what the matter is! After you've finished eating, just leave the dishes here, and I'll come back to clean up for you."

After leaving these words, Xie Xiaojiu proceeded to walk outside.

As for Xie Xiaojiu's departure, Jiang Ning was indifferent.
