Today was the liveliest day in the Ye Manor’s main compound in all of history. Every household in the inner courtyard was stirred up. All the servants and maids mobilized. For what? To watch a fight!

“Aiya, you’re all brothers. What can’t be talked out nicely? Stop fighting.” Third Wife, hands on her willow waist, led two sons and one daughter, arriving early at Second Branch’s courtyard. In name to mediate, in reality fanning the flames.

“The weak? Who’s weak? Damn it! Let me show you who’s weak!” Ye Kong cursed as he chased Ye Wen and Ye Wu. Catching one, he delivered a flurry of punches and kicks.

Ye Wen and Ye Wu suffered unspeakably. Although Ye Kong didn’t use any techniques, they just couldn’t beat him. Draw their weapons? Useless. That plague god’s unremarkable dagger at his waist was incredibly sharp – it cut through treasured swords like cutting radishes.

These two had originally wanted to talk tough outside Ye Kong’s courtyard, but who knew this bastard would disregard all propriety and chase after them to fight?

Even more outrageous, when they fled back to their own courtyard, Ye Kong still charged in without a care, continuing to beat them.

Third Wife, who followed along, was even better. Drinking ginseng soup on one hand, she shouted, “Stop fighting. I say, Ye Wen, you don’t even live in this compound anymore. Why come back to fight? You should stop.”

Ye Wen almost felt like crying. Am I the ​noodles​one fighting? I’m obviously running for my life! If I stop, won’t he beat me to death?

The personal guards protecting the ancestral hall also rushed over upon hearing the news. Liu Changqing parted the crowd and roared, “Who dares cause trouble in Ye Manor’s inner courtyard!”

Ye Wen and Ye Wu thought their savior had arrived and shouted, “General Liu, save us!”

Who knew that once Liu Changqing saw it was Ye Kong doing the beating, he turned and left. “They’re all precious young masters. We can’t handle this. Withdraw!”

You can’t handle it, but you could at least break up the fight, right? Ye Wu had already despaired. Mother had gone who knows where and still hadn’t returned. Liu Changqing wouldn’t intervene. Third Wife was fanning the flames… Fine, you’re just mad I said those few words, right? I’ll take them back, okay?

Thinking this, Ye Wu’s legs went soft. With a thud, he fell to the ground and begged for mercy. “Eighth Brother, I’m the weak one! I’m the coward! I’m the spineless one! I beg you to stop hitting me. I’ll never dare sit in your chair again. Wuu…”

This kid actually sat on the ground and started crying, causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter.

Third Wife shook her handkerchief, laughing. “Eighth, you’re too overbearing. Someone sits in your chair once and you beat them. If someone lies on your bed, wouldn’t you kill them?”

Third Wife had no good intentions either. Ye Kong ignored her and kicked Ye Wu. “Remember clearly what you said. [stolen content]Otherwise, next time I won’t be so polite.”

Then he raised his head to look at Ye Wen. Today, Ye Kong’s purpose of establishing his authority had been achieved. If Ye Wen also said a few soft words, he’d be ready to stop.

But how could Ye Wen back down publicly? All the households were here, plus so many maids and servants. To plead and wail like Ye Wu in front of everyone – did he want to keep face? If word got out, how could he show his face?

Not only was the inner courtyard extremely lively, even the outer courtyard was stirred up. Household servants all gathered together.

“Did you hear? Second Young Master and Third Young Master got into it with Eighth Young Master. They’re still fighting now!”

“What do you mean they got into it? Obviously, the Eighth Young Master is chasing them and beating them. Chased them right into Second Wife’s room to beat them. Eighth Young Master really has guts.”

“No wonder even the City Guard Office bailiffs are afraid of him. I heard they even gave him a nickname – Plague God.”

“Haha, that’s a good nickname. Whoever provokes him gets plagued.”

“Sigh… the inner courtyard is so lively, but we can’t go in. visit our site Can’t see the excitement.”

Several people were chatting back and forth when they heard someone shout in the distance, “He’s coming, he’s coming!”

“Who’s coming?”

“The Plague God.”

The servants immediately shut up. They watched as Ye Wen, beaten like a pig’s head, came running, with the newly minted Plague God in hot pursuit, picking up stones and bricks to throw as he chased.

“Aiya! This time he’s caused big trouble.” Chen Jiuniang’s heart was in chaos. She sighed, knowing this time she’d definitely offended Second Wife. They’d probably really be swept out the door.

Chen Jiuniang feared this most. Not because she coveted life at the Ye Manor. She knew Ye Kong now had the ability to ensure she ate well and lived well.

What she feared was people pointing at her spine. “Look, she’s the woman kicked out by the Ye Manor.”

“So ugly. If it were me, I’d kick her out too.”

“I heard she’s not just ugly, but also improper. Otherwise, why would they kick her out when the child is so big?”

This kind of gossip was what Chen Jiuniang feared most. But things had come to this. She could only sigh and return to her room to pack.

“Haha, today I’ve really established my authority! Let’s see who dares provoke me, Ye Kong, in the future!” Ye Kong walked back laughing loudly.

“Godmother went to pack.” Lu Qin came up to him and said.

“Pack?” Ye Kong walked into Chen Jiuniang’s room. Seeing his mother indeed bundling things up, he smiled. “Mother, don’t worry. I dare say when Second Wife returns, she definitely won’t make us leave the manor. Also, those Third Wife and Fourth Wife will all scramble to curry favor with you in the future.”

Chen Jiuniang didn’t believe him at all. She said irritably, “You beat people and still claim you’re in the right? Who would want to curry favor with someone with such a bad temper?”

As if to prove Ye Kong correct, Lu Qin came in. “Third Wife is here.”

“Aiya, Sister Jiuniang, since moving to the back courtyard, why haven’t you come visit me? I say those two brats deserved to be beaten. Last time when the unauthorized copy immortal came to take disciples, it was that Second Branch woman who schemed and told people not to notify your Ye Kong. Don’t forget that…” Third Wife spoke of Second Branch’s wrongs while claiming credit and currying favor.

Now that Ye Kong was formidable, who wouldn’t want to ingratiate themselves? Little Lu Qin gave Ye Kong a secret thumbs up, meaning his prediction was way too accurate.

“Mother, Third Wife, you chat.” After greeting them, Ye Kong left the room.

Lu Qin also followed out, happily saying, “Brother Ye Kong, when you were fighting today, what martial arts did you use? It looked like it had no pattern, but actually it was very effective. What’s it called?”

“My technique is called… Kill You 3000.” Ye Kong spouted nonsense.

“Kill You Three Thousand? It feels very imposing. But Brother Ye Kong, why not two thousand or two thousand five?” Lu Qin asked, full of curiosity again.

“This…” Ye Kong really couldn’t answer. He said angrily, “I said three thousand, so it’s three thousand. No reason why.”

“Oh.” Lu Qin was very unsatisfied with this answer, but didn’t dare ask more. She could only make a face.

“Mm, Little Red and I are going back to my room to discuss something. You go [stolen content]keep my mother company,” Ye Kong said again.

“I don’t want to listen to them talk about all that family gossip. I’ll go with you.”

“No.” Ye Kong’s face became stern. He whispered in her ear, “Third Wife isn’t a good person either. You go keep watch. Don’t let my mother randomly promise her anything.”

Kids all liked doing this kind of mission. Hearing this, Lu Qin was happy. She smiled. “This general receives your command.”

“That’s not in style anymore.” Ye Kong clicked his heels together and gave a military salute. “Reporting to the commander, guaranteed to complete the mission!”

“Hehe, reporting to brother, guaranteed to complete the mission.”

Lu Qin ran off in a flash. Ye Kong looked at Little Red, who had been sitting dumbly the whole time. He walked over and pulled her soft little hand. “Come, let’s talk in my room.”

With Ye Kong and Ye Wen and Ye Wu’s falling out, the most troubled was none other than Little Red. She knew the cause of the matter was herself. She also guessed that without obtaining Ye Kong’s martial arts, Second Wife wouldn’t fall out with him. But although Second Wife would tolerate Ye Kong, she wouldn’t tolerate her. What kind of punishment would she suffer? She didn’t dare think about it. In any case, when Second Wife got angry and punished subordinates, she knew – it was very cruel and very severe.

“Sit.” Ye Kong brought Little Red back to his room and had her visit our site sit down. Then he went to close the door.

“Are you very afraid in your heart that Second Wife will punish you?” Ye Kong asked.

“Mm.” Little Red nodded.

“Do you blame me for putting you in a difficult position?” Ye Kong asked again.

“Mm…” Little Red reflexively nodded. In an instant, she realized and quickly said, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

Ye Kong smiled. “Little Red, you should know why I fell out with them today.”

“…For me.” Little Red lowered her head again, her voice as small as a mosquito’s buzz.

“Then you should know I must already have a method to deal with them! Do you take me for the kind of reckless fool who only seeks immediate gratification without considering consequences?”

Little Red’s heart was in turmoil. So worried she was about to cry, [noodles]hearing Ye Kong’s words, she was immediately overjoyed. Looking up, she asked, “Really?”

But with one look up, she discovered Ye Kong was right next to her. Moreover, in Ye Kong’s eyes was something that made her heart race with both fear and anticipation. She suddenly felt somewhat nervous, yet also somewhat expectant.

She awkwardly placed her hands between her legs. Lowering her head, she said softly, “Really?”

“Of course, really.” As Ye Kong said this sentence, his mouth was already against her delicate earlobe. He carried her to the bed.

Since he’d already decided, he had to act quickly. This was Ye Kong’s consistent principle. Moreover, to have this woman keep secrets for him, the only method was to possess her.

When Little Red’s clothing was lifted…

But at this moment, Ye Kong suddenly remembered something. He raised his hand and removed the small sword from his waist, throwing it into the storage pouch. He heard Old Ancestor Yellow Springs curse angrily, “Damn brat! If you’re not this shrewd, will you die? Let me see what’s there to see!”
