I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.
Chapter 12 Destruction of the Family
Liu family.
The gate was tightly shut, and angry curses echoed from inside the courtyard.
"You unfilial daughter! How dare you sneak into the secret chamber! Do you know that the item was entrusted to your grandfather by a master? How am I supposed to explain this to him?!"
It turned out that after the news of Li Jingming's violent death came, Liu Cuicui knew that something terrible had happened and had no choice but to confess.
But she underestimated the importance of that brocade pouch in her father's heart.
Now the whole family is gathered together, but she alone kneels in the center, tears streaming down her face.
“Father, I really know I was wrong. Li Lang said that after the marriage you would definitely give him the things, so I…”
"You wretched child! How dare you talk back! If Li Jingming were alive, it would be fine; we could just ask him for it back. But he's dead! The manual has vanished without a trace. If a descendant of a master comes to claim it, what will your father give you in return!"
Mr. Liu was so angry he almost died, and could only keep drinking water to calm his anger.
Seeing that he had finished cursing, Madam Liu finally spoke up: "Things have come to this point, and we can't blame Cuicui entirely. It was all Li Jingming who deceived her. The most urgent thing is to think about what to do about Cuicui's marriage."
"Hmph! How would I know?"
Master Liu flicked his sleeve, his face turning ashen.
At this moment, a maid came to deliver the news.
He recounted what happened at the Ye family's house this morning.
Immediately, everyone looked up, staring at the maid in disbelief.
"Are you sure you didn't hear wrong? I've had the Ye family's wine before, it's nothing special, why is it so expensive?"
The maid nodded firmly and said, "It's true! It's all over the streets and alleys. I heard it's because Ye Kang made a contribution to the Imperial City Guard. By the way, the people in the Imperial City Guard call Ye Kang Commander!"
Upon hearing this, Liu's eldest daughter nodded: "That's right. Buying wine is a pretense; flattery is the real reason. I'm afraid Ye Kang has gained power in the Imperial City Guard."
The eldest son-in-law chimed in, "The Ye family has risen to prominence."
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu immediately stood up and hurriedly tried to run out the door.
Master Liu hurriedly called out, "Where are you going?"
Madam Liu rolled her eyes.
"Nonsense! Hurry up and go to the Ye family to renew the engagement!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, yes! Ye Ping likes Cuicui. There's only a slight rift between them. He definitely won't mind. Quickly take Cuicui with you!"
The Liu family immediately sprang into action.
Before long, a large group of people arrived at the Ye family's door with gifts.
The neighbors also came out.
"Isn't this the Liu family's house? What are they doing here?"
"Hmph, is that even a question? They must have heard that the Ye family is rich and came to curry favor."
……
On the other side, the Ye family members stared at each other in disbelief upon hearing that the Liu family had come to visit.
Instead, Ye Kang laughed and said, "Since we're already here, there's no harm in meeting."
Ye Kang had not forgotten yesterday's humiliation. Since the other party had come to him of his own accord, he might as well retaliate.
He took the lead and opened the door.
"What's the matter?"
When Madam Liu saw Ye Kang, her face immediately lit up with a smile.
“Nephew, I was out of my mind yesterday. After thinking about it, I realized that Ye Ping and Cuicui are a perfect match. That’s why I’ve come to discuss their marriage.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang felt a wave of nausea.
He said expressionlessly, "The marriage certificate has been torn up, the engagement is null and void. Go back."
Madam Liu panicked and immediately said, "No! Ask your elder brother, doesn't Ping'er like Cuicui?"
Ye Kang glanced at Liu Cuicui beside him and laughed.
"Don't joke around. My older brother has normal taste. Besides, he likes virgins, not used women."
The moment he said that, the whole street fell silent.
Madam Liu's fingers trembled as she screamed in fury.
"Ye Kang! Explain yourself clearly, who is the 'slut'?"
Ye Kang naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with her and said directly, "Your second daughter, she and Li Jingming have already consummated their marriage, didn't you know?"
Upon hearing this, the entire Liu family glared at Liu Cuicui.
They really didn't know.
Liu Cuicui lowered her head and remained silent, clearly acquiescing.
The onlookers immediately began to underestimate it; gossip is human nature.
Now, the Liu family members were all visibly embarrassed.
How can they renew their marriage contract now?
But Madam Liu was still unwilling to give up. She said, "My dear nephew, you can't say that. If two people are truly in love, what does it matter if they are not together for a long time..."
"Stop. We've known each other for so long, let me be frank with you. In terms of looks, character, talent, and family background, your daughter is no match for my elder brother. Also, I'll leave you with a final piece of advice, Madam Liu: take care of yourself."
After speaking, Ye Kang closed the door.
Repay the other person with his own way.
Madam Liu almost lost her balance. After regaining her senses, she roared and tried to slam the door.
Uncle Meng and his patrol team made their appearance at just the right moment.
"What are you doing! In broad daylight, are you trying to trespass on someone's property?"
The Liu family couldn't stand this accusation and quickly pulled Mrs. Liu away.
Hearing the laughter from the entire street behind them, the Liu family wished they could cover their faces.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
They never want to come to Fushengmen again in their lives.
……
Ye family.
Madam Ye said with some reluctance, "Kang'er, isn't this going a bit too far?"
Ye Kang sighed.
"Mother, the Liu family kicked me when I was down. I've already been magnanimous by only humiliating him. Mother, please consider my elder brother's marriage more and choose a good-looking and virtuous man for him."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ye couldn't help but smile.
Speaking of which, since this morning, three or four families have come to propose marriage, all of whom are better than Liu Cuicui.
The family returned to a harmonious state, and Ye Kang was able to rest peacefully.
Another day passed.
Ye Family Wine Shop has reopened and business is booming.
That night, Ye Kang had just arrived home after a busy day at the distillery when a murderous intent suddenly locked onto him.
Ye Kang remained calm and quietly entered the house.
He activated his five senses and found that his family members were all safe and sound, which put his mind at ease.
No matter who comes, we must not disturb our parents.
Since the visitor hasn't made a move, it means he's still observing.
Ye Kang pretended not to notice and walked out of the house again, turning and twisting until he arrived at a secluded place.
Once he confirmed that the tail behind him was still there, he said directly, "Come out."
The person hiding in the shadows was quite straightforward and immediately stepped forward.
The man was burly, with a fierce look on his face, and he was holding a soft whip in his hand.
"So you really know kung fu. It seems I was right. You're the one who killed Jingming, aren't you?"
"Who are you?"
Ye Kang countered with a question.
The man smiled wickedly and said, "I taught Jingming his martial arts. Master Li gave me three thousand taels of silver to slaughter your entire family, leaving no one alive."
Ye Kang found it somewhat amusing.
"Are you so sure it was me?"
The man shook his head: "I'm not sure, but what does it matter? Master Li's idea is to wipe out all the families who have a grudge against Jingming. There will always be one of them who is the murderer."
After saying that, the man revealed his aura, and a fierce and malevolent aura surrounded him.
"So he's a top-tier expert. No wonder he's so arrogant."
Ye Kang smiled disdainfully, activated the Yi Wood Heart Sutra, and green true energy soared into the sky, instantly shattering the man's fierce aura.
The latter was startled, and his previously confident expression instantly turned pale.
"You are a top-tier expert!"
Without saying a word, the man turned and fled.
"Can you escape?"
With a light tap of his toes, Ye Kang soared into the clouds like a swallow, instantly catching up with the man. His Vajra-like fury was contained as he unleashed a palm strike, killing the man instantly.
Without stopping, Ye Kang headed straight for the Li family.
It seems I was too soft-hearted; some troubles need to be resolved thoroughly.
This night.
A fierce wind howled, and the air seemed to be filled with the aura of bloodshed.
This night.
The entire Li family was slaughtered, not a single one was spared.
