Chapter 129 Tracing The Origins
During his entire time in the alchemist guild, Jiang Ming had requested for the GLCS to utilize its mapping and function to identify the three people's origins.
It took a while to investigate but GLCS never failed its job. While he was refining the fourth-rank pill, Jiang Ming had received another system prompt from it, indicating that it had traced their origin.
Thus, the moment Jiang Ming left the alchemist guild, he asked the GLCS for specific details.
Ding!
<The three people's origin are suspected to be from the Di Clan>
<Evidence can also be found in the tattoo in their left arms>
–
'Left arm tattoo huh?' Jiang Ming thought. It was common for these types of people to have some signal or symbol to indicate their origin to their companions.
Hence, he didn't find it surprising to know they have some kind of tattoo. In fact, he was grateful for their stupidity since it indirectly exposed their origin without spending much effort.
Jiang Ming proceeded to open his map to check where the three people were located. And to his surprise, the three red dots had vanished from sight.
'The heck?! Where did those three idiots go?' Jiang Ming was dumbfounded to not see any of them on the map. He tried to expand his map scope a little bit and there were still no red dots.
Ding!
<Replying to Player Jiang Ming, those three people had been recalled back during the time you were in the refinement room>
<They are now located in a secret basement within the Di Clan>
<Does Player Jiang Ming wish to annihilate them?>
–
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth when the system prompt was becoming more and more of a strategist. He couldn't help but be happy about this slight change since it was always better to have a talking and understanding assistance than a programmed one.
'No need, GLCS. Keep those three people monitored for now. I bet the Di Clan recall them to prepare for the ancient ruin.' Jiang Ming said to the system.
They are connected through telepathy, so no one could ever eavesdrop on them or figure out GLCS existence.
Seeing how his original goal was to deal with the three people as soon as he came out was spoiled, Jiang Ming was pondering on his next move. The Automatic Refinement had continued to refine the necessary pills, so that matter could be said to be complete.
'Hmm, should I look for Qi Shan?' Jiang Ming wondered silently.
Qi Shan was an eccentric person and he couldn't help but be wary of her. If an ancient ruin was going to appear, then Jiang Ming was sure that she must have sensed it a long time ago.
Perhaps, her pouting and leaving action was due to her sensing an abnormality occurring soon.
"Ugh, this is a damn headache." Jiang Ming scratched his head in annoyance.
'GLCS, can you detect Qi Shan's location for me?' Jiang Ming decided to use the function from the summoning gacha.
Within a few seconds, Qi Shan's location was revealed.
"The Haze forest?" Jiang Ming was baffled at her location. After all, the Haze Forest was a place that he originally planned to explore to gain experience.
However, it had been delayed numerous times due to an unexpected situation.
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Ming knew he must make his way toward the Haze Forest now. Otherwise, he wouldn't make it back in time for the ancient ruin.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming paused for a moment when he nearly forgot an important aspect.
'Hey GLCS, I can summon Qi Shan whenever I want to, right?' Jiang Ming asked wickedly.
Due to his previous traumatic experience with Qi Shan, he had nearly forgotten he was the summoner and had absolute control over her.
Ding!
<Player Jiang Ming could forcefully summon Qi Shan whenever he wished for it>
<There are no exceptions to this law even if Qi Shan was stark naked and was taking a bath, she shall be summoned at the will of Player Jiang Ming>
–
Jiang Ming pretended that he didn't read the last message as he closed his eyes and focused on recalling Qi Shan.
Of course, he made sure to find a secretive place to prevent others from knowing that he had such a skill.
"As the summoner, I hereby summon Qi Shan!" Jiang Ming waved his hand out and started chanting for her summon.
Soon, a large circle appeared at the bottom of the floor and two figures could be seen.
Qi Shan held a confused look as she carried a battered and crippled person in her arms.
"What the heck?" Qi Shan exclaimed in shock. "Why did I get summoned here?"
She then noticed Jiang Ming smiling cheekily at him. "Jiang Ming, are you seriously being this mean? How could you forcefully summon me here without my consent?"
Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow. "Oi, then can you kindly tell me when did I gave you the consent to capture Shaoxing Ming on my behalf?"
Qi Shan was stunned as she quickly dropped the unconscious Shaoxing Ming to the ground. She had captured him during the time when Jiang Ming was investigating with Yuan Chunhua about the hidden cave.
However, she imprisoned Shaoxing Ming in her secret dimension instead of handing it over to Jiang Ming because she wanted to conduct some experiments.
Yet she had never expected that before she could even finish her experiments, Jiang Ming had suddenly summoned her, exposing her act in the meantime.
"Umm, this is-"
"No need to explain to me, Qi Shan. Your personality, I know it too well, so save your effort." Jiang Ming raised his hand to stop her from trying to explain.
Qi Shan stuck her tongue out in retaliation and crossed her arms.
"Hmph, it was all your fault anyway. Ever since you summoned me here, you barely even paid attention to me. It was always about your aunt and those other mortal women." She said in anger.
