“When the time comes, you must hand Ye Kong and his mother over to me!” Thinking of Ye Kong, Second Wife’s face immediately showed fierce killing intent. It seemed she truly hated Ye Kong to the extreme. She even forgot the pleasure of this moment. “That bastard made me lose all face. I can’t even hold my head up in front of the servants. I also have to swallow my anger in front of his ugly mother and pretend to be affectionate. This is the greatest grievance I’ve suffered in my life. I want to make them pay the price!”

“So what do you want to do to them?” Chen Qingfang asked.

“What do I want?” Second Wife hatefully clutched the clothing beside her, gritting her teeth. “I also want that mother and son to taste every humiliation, slowly torture them, repay them a hundred times what they gave me! Make death beyond their reach!”

Ye Kong listened, cold air rising from his back. This woman was truly vicious. You couldn’t tell at all from her surface. If he hadn’t discovered the suspicious point and followed today, he might still consider her a good person.

“Don’t worry about that. Even if you don’t torture him, I’ll thoroughly torture him.” Chen Qingfang said. “That Plague God publicly made the City Guard Office lose face, gave me no face at all. Now the common people of Southern Capital all say I, Chen Qingfang, fear him. They even made up a jingle: Lord Chen the Just is truly just, but seeing Eighth Young Master, the weather changes fast… Damn it, going too far!”

“He’s not even an immortal yet so arrogant. As long as you and I work together, sooner or later we’ll turn that Plague God into a Plague Chicken!” Second Wife cursed resentfully again.

“Mm, I’m preparing not to wait for His Majesty to punish Ye Haoran. I’ll handle that Plague God ahead of time. Prepare some experts to infiltrate the Ye Manor, first kidnap his mother, then take advantage of when he’s meditating to restrain him…”

Ye Kong drew in a breath. These two were really vicious enough. If he weren’t an immortal cultivator, his end would definitely be terrifyingly tragic. Even if he was a cultivator, if they ambushed him, Mother and Lu Qin would be miserable.

“Alright, since you’re so vicious, then I’ll make you into a pair of vengeful ghosts!” Ye Kong raised his hand and removed the Invisibility Talisman from his forehead…

Chen Qingfang was playing happily when his heart suddenly stirred. Looking up, he saw a blue-clothed youth standing [stolen content]across from him, smiling at him.

“You!” Chen Qingfang’s eyes widened. Pointing at Ye Kong who’d appeared out of thin air, he asked incredulously, “Are you human or ghost?”

“Hmph, if you have no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of?” Ye Kong smiled as he removed the small sword artifact from his waist.

Second Wife had her back to Ye Kong. Hearing Ye Kong’s voice, she immediately turned around as if electrocuted.

“How are you here!” Second Wife also had a panicked expression as if she’d seen a ghost.

Ye Kong rather appreciated this dog couple’s panicked expressions. The corner of his mouth smiled cruelly. “Continue. Why not continue? Continue telling me your ideas for torturing me.”

After brief panic, Chen Qingfang and Second Wife quickly calmed down. The two quickly pulled on their clothes while approaching the door, preparing to escape at the first opportunity.

“Ye Kong, you’re attempting to assassinate a court official. Do you know? This is a capital crime!” When things came to a head, Chen Qingfang’s official authority was still quite sufficient, though his tone was somewhat fierce but cowardly inside. Pointing sternly at Ye Kong, he then softened his tone. “If you turn from your mistaken path, this official will forgive you as a first offense. We’ll act as if nothing happened. This official guarantees absolutely not to pursue your responsibility.”

While pulling on her pants, Second Wife added, “Also, you’re not allowed to speak of what you saw today!”

Ye Kong sneered, walked over and kicked Second Wife to the ground, stepping on her neck. He cursed, “Do you two have brains? Still concerned about face? Still don’t understand the severity of the situation? Right now the problem is… whether you’ll have lives to walk out that door! And you!” Ye Kong pointed at Chen Qingfang. “You actually want to pursue my responsibility? Really fucking funny. In your next life, remember to eat more pig brains. So stupid yet you’re an official!”

This time Chen Qingfang understood Ye Kong’s killing intent. However, he didn’t panic but calmly sneered. “Ye Kong, I know you’re very formidable. But do you know? As soon as I shout, many people outside will hear. Moreover, I’ve ordered them that if they hear a distress signal, they shouldn’t unauthorized copy rush to save me but return to the manor to report. This way, your actions will be exposed to the world. Haha, it will quickly reach the Emperor’s ears in An Capital…” Chen Qingfang felt he was very clever and actually laughed. Then he suddenly shouted sternly, “You! Aren’t you afraid of His Majesty’s mighty heavenly authority?!”

Ye Kong smiled disdainfully. “Emperor? So what? Is he awesome? I’ve said many times, I’m just a hooligan. Don’t provoke me! Whoever provokes me, I’ll play with them to the end! If the Emperor provokes me, I’ll make him regret it the same!… Also, forgot to tell you, I’ve already dealt with the servants in this manor. No matter how you shout, no one will run in, and of course, no one will run out… Don’t believe me? You can try.”

Hearing this, Chen Qingfang had already despaired. However, he wasn’t a civil official. He also knew martial arts, and it seemed pretty good.

“I’ll fight you to the death!” Chen Qingfang suddenly roared and lunged forward, his single hand forming a blade palm, fiercely chopping at Ye Kong’s face.

Chen Qingfang thought to himself, damn it, I’ve practiced martial arts since childhood. I’m also from a martial examination background. You’re a kid in your teens who’s only practiced martial arts for two years. I refuse to believe this evil. I refuse to believe I can’t beat you!

“Such martial arts, you dare show off!” Ye Kong sneered coldly. Immediately, using Shadow Dance posture, he leapt up – airborne, kicking, flipping – a set of movements like flowing clouds and water, relaxed and effortless, just like dancing.

One kick sent Chen Qingfang flying, while Ye Kong gracefully landed, standing back in his original position. Another foot stepped down on Second Wife who was trying to sit up.

“Pah!” Chen Qingfang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He hadn’t expected Ye Kong’s martial arts to be so superb. Having practiced martial arts his whole life, he couldn’t even take one of his casual moves. Was this someone who’d only practiced for two years? What martial arts was he using? So elegant and graceful, relaxed and effortless?

“Eighth, you can’t kill me. I’m your Second Mother. I let your mother move into the back courtyard. Today I even brought my son to apologize to you. Please spare me.” Second Wife, being stepped on by Ye Kong, kept pleading.

“You still have the face to say that? If I hadn’t heard your conversation today, I’d still think you were a good person.” As Ye Kong spoke, he kicked away the pants hanging on Second Wife’s knees.

This action made Second Wife see hope. She suddenly hugged Ye Kong’s leg and cried, “Eighth, I know you like people to suck it. Little Read on Jormuntl Red told me everything. As long as you spare my life, you can do anything to me.”

Seeing he wouldn’t let her wear pants, Second Wife thought he had those thoughts. She couldn’t care about shame anymore and reached out to grab Ye Kong’s pants crotch.

But who knew Ye Kong would kick her away. “A viper woman like you, how could I let you live? Hehe, not letting you wear pants is because a friend of mine hasn’t looked in many years and wants to see… Old Ancestor, come out.”

Chen Qingfang had some knowledge after all. When he saw white light fly from the small sword and transform into a bearded infant, he cried out in shock, “Nascent Soul stage! You… are an immortal cultivator!” Then he cursed Second Wife, “You stupid woman! This old man has been killed by you!”

“Old Ancestor, don’t rush to grope.” Ye Kong smiled and said, “First go use the Soul-Searching Great Method on Lord Chen the Just. I want to see exactly how the old emperor arranged things.”

The time of one tea cup later, an almost imperceptible air fluctuation flashed at the large residence’s entrance. Ye Kong had already accomplished his purpose and left. Those servants who’d been hit with Sleep Talismans would naturally wake up.

Ye Kong didn’t kill those servants. Naturally, he didn’t want to kill innocent people. Another reason – he didn’t want people to know these two had been murdered. Before leaving, he arranged Chen Qingfang and Second Wife in a pose, making people think these two had been too excited and died from excessive passion.

“How was it? Felt enough today?” On the way back, Ye Kong asked.

“Haha, great. This ancestor really envies you all for having bodies.” Old Ancestor Yellow Springs was in good spirits. However, he longed even more to have a physical body. That way it wouldn’t be as simple as touching. He could do some good things.

“Then tell me what you searched from Chen Qingfang’s brain?” Ye Kong asked again.

“A lot. Which aspect?”

“The Emperor’s attitude toward Ye Haoran. When will he punish him? Will he really move against the Ye Manor?” These were Ye Kong’s biggest concerns.

“Mm, the Emperor’s attitude isn’t very clear. This Chen Qingfang probably also isn’t the Emperor’s trusted confidant. The Emperor just sent him to be City Guard in Southern Capital without any other instructions. Looking for evidence of Ye Haoran’s rebellion is just him guessing the sacred will and acting on his own authority.”

“Ah? It’s like that? So it has no value?” Ye Kong was somewhat depressed. However, he didn’t dare relax. Ye Kong had watched many period dramas and understood imperial power tactics.

Many times, emperors wouldn’t directly say anything. They’d let you figure out the sacred will. If you guessed right, you got promoted. If you guessed wrong, you were unlucky. If things got bungled, the emperor could just say “I didn’t say that” at the time and sell you out as a scapegoat.

However, Chen Qingfang being so certain meant the sacred will was already quite obvious. But dealing with an emperor, Ye Kong really had no method. After all, behind the emperor stood an immortal cultivation sect. Even if Ye Kong was an immortal cultivator, they might not necessarily fear you.

Maybe they’d even send out high-realm immortal cultivators to strike first and eliminate him first.

“Looks like I still need to work hard cultivating to raise my realm.” Ye Kong sighed and quickened his pace home.

“How did it go?” As soon as Ye Kong returned, Little Red was still waiting in the room.

“Don’t worry. Completely handled. In the future, no one will bully you anymore.” Ye Kong said with a smile.

“You… Second Wife…” Little Red was shocked, covering her small visit our sitesandalwood mouth. She then asked, “Will they find out? Will something big happen? How could you be so reckless? It wasn’t necessary to kill her, right?”

“Not necessary to kill? You think she’s a good person? If I don’t kill her, she’ll kill me, and torture me to death slowly.” As Ye Kong spoke, he placed the spirit stone into the formation eye.

Little Red didn’t respond but nodded. She also believed Second Wife indeed had this kind of character. “Then what do I do?” she asked again.

“You just don’t go back there. Once Second Wife dies, Third Wife will definitely take charge. She won’t refuse to give me face if I ask for you.” After Ye Kong set up the formation, he took the oil lamp and placed it at the bedside.

Although Second Wife wasn’t a very good person, comparatively speaking, she’d treated Little Red pretty well. Now that Ye Kong had killed her, Little Red’s heart was a bit confused. She didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.

“So what should we do now?” Little Red asked anxiously again.

Ye Kong smiled and pulled Little Red’s soft, smooth little waist over, saying, “Of course, do good things.”

“Go on with you, at a time like this.” Little Red’s face turned red in a flash.

“What about this time? Don’t worry, no one will investigate this matter.” Ye Kong laughed heartily. “Tomorrow I’m starting closed-door cultivation. I won’t see you for a long time. Let me eat my fill.”

“You’re so bad!”

Old Ancestor Yellow Springs also cursed aloud, “Damn it! Would it kill you to let me watch once? You threw me in the black bag again! Ungrateful bastard who crosses the river and tears down the bridge!”
