655 The Unrelenting Beggar

“No need, I’ve already paid.”

As she spoke, Long Qingqing handed the bag of silver to the owner. “Is this enough?”

The owner opened the bag and looked at the money inside. His eyes lit up. “It’s enough. There’s more than enough, actually.”

“Keep the rest as a tip.”

Long Qingqing did not care.

The Long family had silver everywhere.

Even if she spent money like water, she would never be able to spend all the money of the Long family.

Jiang Ming did not want to owe her a favor. “You can look for me if you need anything in the future. I’ll try my best to help.”

“It’s just a small matter. Don’t worry about it, Lord Ning Caichen,” Long Qingqing said boldly. She said to the owner beside her, “Send it to my father’s mansion later.”

The owner promised, “Ms. Long, don’t worry. I’ll definitely deliver it.”

Seeing that she had finished her instructions, Long Qingqing suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

She looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Lord Ning Caichen, why don’t we go riding now? I’ll show you my riding skills.”

“Alright, I don’t think there’s a problem.”

What Long Qingqing said hit Jiang Ming’s heart.

When he was driving the carriage just now, he had already felt the joy of riding a horse.

It would be fun if he went horseback riding with Long Qingqing.

“Lord Ning Caichen, we are really like-minded. I like riding horses too.”

Seeing that Jiang Ming seemed to be very happy, Long Qingqing was also happy.

Since the horse-riding range was not far from the store, Jiang Ming and Long Qingqing did not take the carriage.

However, she had only taken a few steps when a beggar grabbed Long Qingqing and grabbed her skirt tightly. He shouted, “Good Samaritan, please help me. Give me some silver so that I can help my family.”

He hugged her tightly. She could not help but frown.

However, seeing that the other party was a poor person, she did not cast a spell. Instead, she whispered, “What is going on?”

The man did not answer Long Qingqing at all. Instead, he continued to repeat what he had just said.

This time, his words were a little more concise than before, directly revealing his purpose.

“I need some silver; give it to me quickly.”

Jiang Ming found it funny and pulled the beggar away. “Is this how you ask for money?” Who would dare to give you money like this?”

However, the beggar suddenly became ferocious. He bared his fangs and wanted to bite Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming looked at the beggar’s posture, and a flash of disgust flashed across his eyes. He was about to make a move, but Long Qingqing took the lead.

She sent the beggar flying with a single palm strike.

The beggar was pushed back a little and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Long Qingqing sneered, “I excused you, but you still stuck close to me. Get as far away as you can. If you don’t have money, I won’t give you a single silver tael.”

The beggar could not believe it. He got up in a panic and knelt in front of Jiang Ming. He kept kowtowing to Jiang Ming and Long Qingqing. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so fierce to you just now. Please save my father and me. My father really needs silver now. He’s already dead. I can’t let his corpse be exposed to the public.”

Hearing this, Long Qingqing could not bear not to take out some silver from her pocket. She intended to give it to the beggar.

Unexpectedly, when the beggar saw the silver, he immediately went crazy and wanted to snatch the silver away.

His movements were so fierce that Long Qingqing was almost pushed to the ground.

Thanks to Jiang Ming’s quick reflexes, he grabbed Long Qingqing and pushed the beggar away.

The beggar had not eaten for a long time, and he was beaten up by Long Qingqing until he vomited blood.

Now that he was pushed, he fell to the ground.

“This kind of person is not worth giving money to.”

Jiang Ming was disgusted. He faced the beggar directly.

However, after being pushed twice, the beggar immediately revealed his true colors and spat at Jiang Ming and Long Qingqing.

“You!”

Long Qingqing was furious. She raised her hand and wanted to slap the beggar again to let him know that she was displeased.

The beggar was instantly afraid. He could not care less about anything else and stood up to run.

Long Qingqing patted the dust off her body and sighed. “There are all kinds of people in this world. He did not even have a good attitude when he was spared. No wonder he became a beggar.”

Jiang Ming did not reply. Long Qingqing was puzzled. She turned to look at him and found that Jiang Ming was staring in a direction.

She could not help but feel even more puzzled. She looked in that direction and became confused.

The person in front of him was wearing black clothes and a mask. However, the mask only covered his eyes and the top of his face, revealing his mouth and one-third of his face. There was green moss growing on it, and there were pustules on the moss. It looked extremely terrifying.

His exposed skin and mouth were also covered in moss and pustules. He did not look like a normal person at all!

Although the man was wearing a mask, Long Qingqing and Jiang Ming knew that he was looking at them.

However, they did not know why this person was staring at them like that.

The strange man saw that Jiang Ming and Long Qingqing had already noticed him. He walked forward and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you the eldest daughter of the Long family and Ning Caichen?”

Hearing this question, Jiang Ming and Long Qingqing looked at each other. They both saw some hesitation in each other’s eyes.

They did not know if the person on the other side was good or bad. If they answered rashly, it was very likely that they would bring danger to themselves.

Jiang Ming turned the tables and asked, “Who are you? Why did you follow us?”

The strange man’s voice became urgent. “I have no ill intentions towards you. I heard that the Long family has a secret medicine that can cure extremely rare diseases in the world. I really need this secret medicine, so I came to find you.”

Seeing that the strange man had recognized them, Long Qingqing did not hide it anymore. She lowered her voice and said, “Then why didn’t you go to the Long family’s mansion to ask about it? Why did you come to us instead?”

The strange man seemed to be in great pain. He said helplessly, “I heard that this secret medicine is in the hands of the eldest daughter of the Long family, Long Qingqing. I also heard that this secret medicine was given to Ning Caichen. That’s why I came to find you.”

“Even if the secret medicine is in our hands, why should we give it to you?” Jiang Ming did not understand and asked suspiciously, “This secret medicine is very effective. Why would it be given to someone else so easily?”

“I have dragon scales that can be exchanged for it. If you fuse these dragon scales with the Dragon Sword, it will unleash the Dragon Sword’s greatest power. This thing is much more valuable than the secret medicine!”
