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

"Greetings, Third Grandfather!"

Ye Kang bowed respectfully.

Xie Yuan smiled broadly and clapped his hands, saying, "No need to be so formal. To be honest, this is the first time I've met you since you were born, and we've become quite distant. I really shouldn't have done that."

"Third Grandfather is joking. It should be the junior who comes to pay respects to the elder. It is my fault."

"You're a polite boy, not bad at all. It's also fortunate that your grandfather called you back, otherwise I really wouldn't have known that I have such an outstanding grandson."

"Third Grandfather is too kind."

Ye Kang answered silently, his tone remaining largely unchanged.

He was just following the proper etiquette of a junior, but this third maternal uncle seemed a little too enthusiastic.

So strange.

Xie Yuan didn't find it strange at all. Instead, he held Ye Kang's hand and asked him all sorts of questions, which Ye Kang answered one by one.

After chatting for a while, Xie Yuan said with a smile, "Kid, you're so young, yet your cultivation has already reached a level I can't even fathom."

"No, I just used a martial art that conceals my presence to avoid trouble."

"Oh? That's a rare martial art. Where did you get it?"

Seeing Xie Yuan's interested expression, Ye Kang became even more puzzled.

He couldn't talk about the Blood-Clad Tower, so he only said, "I encountered a few assassins by chance, and after I killed them, I found the items on their bodies."

"What! Who dares to assassinate my beloved grandson! This matter will not be left unresolved. Don't worry, this old man will give you an explanation!"

Ye Kang was even more confused.

I thought to myself, what does this have to do with you, old man?

Xie Yuan changed the subject and said with a smile, "I heard from Liancheng that you've done a lot of great things lately. You even wiped out Monk Yuanguang of Baizhi Temple. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Did he give you the Chaos Strike?"

"My uncle has already given it to me, but I haven't had time to practice yet."

"Yes, this is a good martial art. If you master it, you will have many benefits. You will know this in the future. This is the first time I have met you, and I did not prepare any gifts. Seeing that you have a divine weapon, this is not easy to handle."

Ye Kang's brow twitched.

Is this old man trying to give me a gift?

Seriously? Is the Xie family really that kind?

He quickly shook his head and said, "Third Grandfather, absolutely not!"

Xie Yuan waved his hand again and said, "Don't be so polite with me. This old man doesn't have any treasures, except for this top-tier seventh-grade innate martial arts skill. Since that's the case, I promise to help you once."

"what?"

"As long as it doesn't involve the Xie family, I won't interfere or take anything from you. You can help me kill someone, or even smash and loot; just ask."

Xie Yuan's expression suddenly turned serious, and his playful old man's expression instantly became dignified, making Ye Kang feel a sense of unease for no reason.

This is the true power and prestige that the three ancestors of the Xie family should possess.

However, before Ye Kang could figure it out, Xie Yuan had already pushed him out of the warehouse and closed the big iron gate. A voice as faint as a whisper reached Ye Kang's ears.

"My dear grandson, don't forget this opportunity to make a move; it's very precious!"

……

Ye Kang stood frozen at the doorway, feeling a sense of unreality.

Is he really just giving himself away for free?

What is this old rascal thinking?

Fortunately, Ye Kang's greatest strength is that he doesn't overthink things.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore. A single move by a top-tier seventh-grade innate expert is indeed valuable. If something really happens, it's not impossible to seek his help.

Ye Kang left gracefully.

As Ye Kang's presence faded into the distance, Xie Yuan's expression froze in the warehouse, his face no longer bearing any trace of his playful nature, only showing melancholy.

He looked into the depths of the warehouse and couldn't help but speak sharply.

"You bastard! I wasted my life giving birth to such a bastard! This kid dared to wipe out the Blood Robe Tower, how dare you provoke him!"

From the darkness, a middle-aged man with a deathly pale face emerged.

It was Xie Xueting, who had enjoyed tea with Wang Yintai at Qingxin Pavilion that day.

He is from the lineage of the Third Ancestor, that is, Xie Yuan's son.

Xie Xueting looked distressed and said with lingering fear, "Father, I was really bewitched. I didn't know he was so powerful and had such a powerful background... And I really only wanted Wang Yintai to teach him a lesson, I didn't mean to kill him!"

Xie Yuan looked at his son, his expression constantly changing, and in the end, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

"Sigh, I can only do my best to make amends for you. If he asks me to help, I can plead with him afterward, and you'll be able to save your life. But if it gets to my brother, no one can protect you..."

Xie Yuan's elder brother was naturally the Xie family patriarch, who had been in seclusion for a long time and whose strength was unparalleled in Jinling City.

A sleeping lion.

Once he opens his eyes, Xie Xueting will have no chance of survival.

……

night.

The nightlife in Nanjing is just beginning.

As Ye Kang walked along the brightly lit street, which was as bright as day, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ancient cities without curfews are just so beautiful."

As he looked around, he cultivated his mind and strolled into the largest restaurant in Jinling City.

Jingtai Tower.

Liu Mingkong had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Ye Kang, he rushed over.

"Brother Ye, you've arrived! Come upstairs quickly, I've booked the best private room, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Don't call me brother, I look younger than you no matter how you look at it."

"Oh, what's it called?"

"as you like."

Ye Kang ignored him, went up the stairs, and followed the servant into the private room.

Liu Mingkong thought and thought for a while before finally coming up with a name for him.

"Young Master Ye! Please have a seat here!"

Not only him, but there were also several young men and women in the private room.

It was naturally Cui Mengyu and her group of spoiled friends.

Ironically, Xie Yiyang, whose ear Ye Kang had pulled, was also there.

Upon seeing Ye Kang, the guy lowered his head with a dark expression, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Of course, his face was already quite dark.

Ye Kang smiled at him.

The grudge is settled, and since I've already torn off one of his ears, there's no need to hold a grudge against him anymore.

Liu Mingkong called out "Serve the food," and then sat down next to Ye Kang.

"Young Master Ye, your fame has spread throughout Jinling City today. As expected of you, your domineering aura is unstoppable wherever you go!"

"Alright, stop flattering me. Tell me, why did you invite me here?"

Ye Kang got straight to the point, speaking while eating some cold side dishes.

Liu Mingkong was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Young Master Ye, it's really nothing serious. It's just that Mengyu's parents said they wanted to test me and assigned me a job..."

Ye Kang nodded: "Isn't it normal for a mother-in-law to test her son-in-law? Why do you need my help with this?"

Before Liu Mingkong could speak, Cui Mengyu on the other side preemptively said, "Young Master Ye, please don't misunderstand! My parents didn't make things difficult for Liu Lang, and the task they assigned him was simple. It's just that there were some unexpected events along the way, and I would like to consult Young Master Ye's opinion."

Ye Kang shook his head: "Why are you asking if it's not difficult? If you don't even have this much sincerity, how can we talk about marriage? I won't help with this."

Hearing him say this, everyone sighed inwardly.

Cui Mengyu sighed, "Then it seems that Liu Lang will have to face the suddenly appearing demon alone..."

boom!

Ye Kang suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

A loud bang startled everyone.

Ye Kang's eyes widened, his expression revealing his excitement.

You mean... demons?
