I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Qingxin Pavilion.

Wang Yintai leisurely sipped his tea when a servant hurried in.

"Ninth Master, something's happened. That kid's back."

"Ok?"

Wang Yintai's hand, which was brewing tea, hovered in mid-air, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Is it really Ye Kang?"

"Absolutely true. Not only did they return unharmed, but they also went to a branch of the Azure Scale Guard. Furthermore, I personally rode at top speed to the ambush site, and all seven assassins sent out by Ninth Master perished..."

Click!

The teacup in Wang Yintai's hand was crushed, and his previously calm face was now filled with rage.

Although those seven people were of average strength, they were still assassins trained by the Wang family with a lot of resources.

Now that he has been buried all of this, how can he explain it to his ancestors?

The Xie family relied on military force to establish itself, while the Wang family relied on the assassin business.

Wang Yintai took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "I underestimated that kid. Go and send a message to the Blood Robe Tower, telling them to send their top assassins as soon as possible. This kid cannot be allowed to live!"

"Ninth Master, without the patriarch's token, the Blood-Clad Tower probably won't..."

"Just keep sending messages. These assassin organizations in the Jinling area may appear to be independent, but they are all forces cultivated by my Wang family. Blood Robe Tower is my direct lineage, and the patriarch does not need to get involved."

"clear."

The servant withdrew.

Wang Yintai's expression gradually became distorted.

What was originally just a favor to Xie Xueting has now turned into a personal feud between him and Ye Kang.

……

And the other side.

Ye Kang has already returned home.

Lingxiu prepared hot water for him, gave him a bath, and changed him into a clean black robe.

He then went to check on Ye Ping's condition. Fortunately, his injuries had almost healed and he was able to get out of bed.

It's a pity that Ye Ping lacked talent and was past the age for learning martial arts; otherwise, Ye Kang would have really wanted to pass on a martial art to him for self-defense.

After transferring another wisp of Yi Wood True Qi to his elder brother, Ye Kang strolled out the door and headed straight for the most prosperous street in Jinling.

Yangchun Lane.

Jinling was a famous city of the Jin Dynasty, as prosperous as the imperial city, but with a touch of the misty rain of Jiangnan, especially evident in its entertainment venues.

Since we've come all the way to Nanjing, we certainly can't miss this sight.

It will only be a day or two before the Demon Furnace is fully refined, so I'll take this time to experience it.

After wandering around for a while, Ye Kang skillfully slipped into a luxuriously decorated attic called the Fireworks Pavilion.

While both places are brothels for listening to music, the prices here are a level higher than other places. Ye Kang, with a critical mindset, found an empty seat and sat down.

On the stage was a gentle woman, fair-skinned and beautiful, wearing a brocade dress, with a cool expression, playing the zither.

The audience members below the stage did not make a fuss, but listened attentively, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

at the same time.

At the entrance to the street, a group of young men and women walked over.

One of the dark-faced boys had his head wrapped in a white cloth, and you could smell the strong herbal scent from afar.

He walked at the very back, head down, seemingly feeling very inferior.

A man and a woman walked side by side in front of the crowd. The woman had a dignified demeanor, and the man was gentle and refined.

A man behind him laughed and said, "Brother Liu, you must visit Yangchun Lane since you've just arrived in Jiangnan. You won't have the chance to come here after you marry Sister Cui."

The dignified woman glanced at the speaker with annoyance and said, "You're so glib. Do you think I'm such an unreasonable person?"

"Sister Cui, everyone knows you value your reputation above all else. How could you tolerate your son-in-law visiting such a brothel?"

Everyone laughed, and the refined man turned his head to meet Miss Cui's gaze.

If Ye Kang were here, he might recognize that this man was none other than Liu Mingkong, the young master of the Liu family who was accompanied by two maids at the Fortune God Inn in Mengzhou that day.

He came to Jinling to marry Miss Cui on his father's orders.

The Liu family is the richest family in Mengzhou; they have a lot of money.

Although the Cui family was not as wealthy as the Liu family, they were strong in martial arts, so the marriage between the two families was a beautiful story.

Today, Cui Mengyu, along with several familiar peers, took Liu Mingkong for a stroll around, cultivating their relationship.

The group walked forward a bit, and Liu Mingkong asked with some doubt, "Mengyu, I was just wondering why this gentleman was so badly injured?"

Cui Mengyu looked at the man with a white cloth wrapped around his head behind her and sighed with some resentment, "Liu Lang doesn't know, he's my friend's younger brother, named Xie Yiyang. He's from the Xie family. A few days ago, a member of an outsider came to the Xie family. He was unreasonable and forcibly tore off his ear, which is why..."

Liu Mingkong's expression immediately hardened, and he said, "Outrageous! I've heard that the Xie family values ​​martial ethics the most, so why do they tolerate such evil deeds?"

Xie Yiyang covered his ears and immediately gritted his teeth, saying, "Isn't it because that guy's mother has a good relationship with the family head? If I were stronger, I would definitely fight back!"

Cui Mengyu added, "The Xie family has a rule that disputes don't involve people of the same generation. The elders really won't interfere in matters between the younger generation..."

"I see. Brother, since you're on good terms with Mengyu, your business is my business, Liu Mingkong's business. I'll arrange to meet that person another day and help you get revenge."

Liu Mingkong was very confident.

He had recently broken through to the Innate Realm, which means he was exceptionally talented. Among his peers, he was still somewhat arrogant.

This is a perfect opportunity to leave a good impression on Cui Mengyu and thus establish my authority as a husband!

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"Young Master Liu is truly amazing! We are in awe!"

"Brother Liu is a true friend; I've decided to be your friend!"

"The famous brothel in Jinling is just ahead. Miss Wanyi's zither playing is superb. I invite Brother Liu to go and enjoy it!"

The group arrived at the brothel and, without saying a word, prepared to go inside.

These people came from four major families. Although they were all from collateral branches, they still had considerable influence. The servants at the door immediately came over to greet them warmly.

The group went inside and took their seats in the private room.

At that moment, Xie Yiyang suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from behind.

His expression froze, and he even held his breath for a moment.

"He's here too!"

"Who?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

Xie Yiyang pointed at Ye Kang's back and said in fear, "He's the one who pulled my ear! I'll never forget his back!"

"This……"

The expressions of everyone changed, and they all looked at Liu Mingkong in unison.

The latter was also completely bewildered, thinking to himself that this was too much of a coincidence.

But having already made such a bold statement, wouldn't backing down now make Cui Mengyu look down on him?

Forget it, I've already broken through to the Innate Realm, I'm incredibly talented, and I have the Cui family backing me up, so what's there to be afraid of!

He immediately said, "Since we've run into him, I'll go and invite him out to avenge Brother Yiyang!"

He strode off.

A group of people looked at him expectantly, and several women said enviously, "Sister Cui is so lucky, Young Master Liu is so responsible!"

Cui Mengyu smiled, a hint of smugness creeping onto her face.

Liu Mingkong strode over aggressively and slapped Ye Kang on the shoulder.

"Brother, would you mind coming out for a chat with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Kang turned his head in confusion, his cold eyes meeting Liu Mingkong's.

Looking at that face he would never forget, Liu Mingkong was completely stunned.

On that day at the God of Wealth Inn, the legends of Ye Kang's swift defeat of Wang Hai, his subsequent sweep through Liuhe Mountain, his forceful slaying of the Golden Knife King, and his single-handed suppression of the martial arts world of Mengzhou all surfaced.

Snap!

Liu Mingkong's body went limp, and he knelt down.

"Brother Ye... Brother Ye..."
