Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

"Zhiruo, are you tired?"

Yang Ke also showed concern for Zhou Zhiruo along the way.

"Brother Yang, I'm not tired."

Zhou Zhiruo had witnessed Yang Ke's sword strike on the ship and was filled with admiration for it.

These days, Yang Ke's tender care has made the young girl fall into a fantasy. Zhou Zhiruo often blushes uncontrollably after exchanging only a few words with him.

Unaware of Yang Ke's purpose, Yin Susu thought that Yang Ke was just childish and lacked peers to accompany him, which was why he was so enthusiastic.

But in reality, Yang Ke was just trying to leave a good impression on Zhou Zhiruo.

He originally wanted to keep Zhou Zhiruo by his side, but thinking that changing too much of the plot would lead to uncontrollable situations, he decided to let Zhou Zhiruo stay in Emei for a while.

Anyway, since Zhang Wuji is no longer around, and I'm spending this time with Zhou Zhiruo, I'm not worried that she'll forget me.

And so, the three of them set off towards the Sky Eagle Sect.

I don’t know if it was because rumors of Yang Ke’s actions at the foot of Shaolin Mountain had spread, but apart from some ignorant bandits, no one really bothered the three of them along the way.

You see, Yin Susu is currently at the peak of her beauty, and Zhou Zhiruo is also a young beauty. Add to that Yang Ke's youthful appearance, and they would be the most attractive combination for lecherous thieves in the martial arts world.

"Miss?"

Not long after the three arrived at the Sky Eagle Sect, the gatekeeper hesitated and called out upon seeing Yin Susu.

"Is it me? Is the leader in the sect?"

Yin Susu looked at the familiar gatekeeper from 10 years ago and felt a little dazed, but she still asked.

"The sect leader has been waiting for the young lady for a long time."

The gatekeeper disciple quickly replied.

Ever since news of Yin Susu's appearance in the martial arts world spread, Yin Tianzheng guessed that Yin Susu would probably return to the Tianying Sect, which is why he instructed the gatekeeper disciples.

"daughter!"

As soon as Yin Susu entered the Sky Eagle Sect, she saw Yin Tianzheng and Yin Yewang hurriedly coming out.

Despite being from the Ming Cult, Yin Yewang possesses the integrity of a true江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world), and his actions are always reasonable and well-founded.

He founded the Eagle Sect, which had a certain reputation in the martial arts world. When the Ming Cult was in great trouble, he led the Eagle Sect members back to die together. He is considered a relatively well-regarded character in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

"father!"

Yin Susu was naturally very excited because she hadn't seen Yin Tianzheng for 10 years.

Yang Ke stood to the side with Zhou Zhiruo, which made Yin Yewang hesitate. He didn't know if Yang Ke was Zhang Wuji, mainly because their ages and appearances didn't match.

Fortunately, Yin Susu dared not neglect Yang Ke and quickly revealed his identity.

"He's actually Zhang Zhenren's junior brother. Forgive me, Yin Tianzheng, for my negligence."

Yin Tianzheng was naturally two generations younger than Zhang Sanfeng in terms of seniority. Yang Ke was Zhang Sanfeng's junior brother, and Wudang had even saved Yin Susu, so he was naturally very grateful.

Most importantly, there have been many stories about Yang Ke circulating in the martial arts world recently. Although the news is sometimes based on rumors, Yang Ke is no worse than Yin Tianzheng. That's his opinion, so his tone was naturally very polite.

"Sect Leader Yin, you're too kind."

Yang Ke was young, so he didn't need to be too formal with social niceties. He simply nodded and smiled in response, and didn't say anything else.

After chatting for a while, Yin Tianzheng asked Yin Yewang to arrange two rooms for Yang Ke and Zhou Zhiruo so that they could rest well.

The main issue was Zhou Zhiruo; she was exhausted after several days of traveling.

Yin Yewang naturally dared not neglect Yang Ke, who was of such high seniority, so he arranged for him to live in the core residence of the Tianying Sect, next to the building where his wife and daughter lived.

Yin Li was naturally fiery, and lately she had been filled with resentment because of her father taking a concubine. When she saw Yin Yewang bring people back, she came over out of curiosity to check.

"Who is this?"

Yang Ke recognized Yin Li's appearance quickly, but pretended not to know and asked.

"This is my daughter, Yin Li."

"Yin Li, come and pay your respects to Uncle Yang of Wudang."

Although Yin Yewang was not very satisfied with his daughter Yin Li, he still greeted her very kindly in front of Yang Ke.

"Father, he's not much older than me, so how come he's Uncle Yang?"

Yin Li had no desire to call someone several years older than her "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior martial arts master).

"You don't even listen to your father, do you? Quickly call for help."

When Yin Yewang saw Yin Li talking back like that, he immediately became angry and shouted at him.

"This young lady has quite a fiery personality."

Yang Ke said in a very old-fashioned manner.

"Hehe, that's all."

Yin Li stuck out her tongue at Yang Ke, then turned and went back to her room.

"Uncle Yang, I'm sorry, my daughter is indeed a bit lacking in discipline."

Yin Yewang dared not be casual in front of Yang Ke, so he said apologetically.

"It's alright, little girls are naturally lively and active."

“I think Yin Li’s personality suits me very well. If King Yin Ye doesn’t mind, I would like to have a sword attendant.”

Yang Ke proposed taking Yin Li away.

The main reason for this is that if I don't take her with me, she might kill her mother.

Even though she was just her father's concubine, this was still not good.

If Yang Ke hadn't appeared, Yin Li would have neglected her mother and daughter because her father had taken a concubine. In a fit of rage, she would have killed her stepmother, but was later rescued by Granny Jin Hua and taken in as her apprentice.

Years later, she met Zhang Wuji in Butterfly Valley. When Yin Li tried to take Zhang Wuji back to Ling Snake Island, she was bitten by him and subsequently fell in love with him.

Later, due to her cultivation of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, her appearance changed, causing her to not recognize Zhang Wuji when they met. Later, when Granny Jin Hua fought Xie Xun, Yin Li betrayed her sect to help Xie Xun and was seriously injured by Granny Jin Hua's attack.

Rescued by Zhang Wuji and taken to the island, Yin Li, who was already seriously injured, was secretly injured by Zhou Zhiruo. When Zhang Wuji found out, Yin Li had already died. He then erected a tombstone for Yin Li.

Later, when Zhou Zhiruo set a trap to perish together with Zhang Wuji, Yin Li reappeared. It turned out that the sword wound Zhou Zhiruo had stabbed on Yin Li's face had actually removed all the poison from her body, and her death was only temporary.

Despite her changed appearance and clear mind, Yin Li knew that the person in front of her was Zhang Wuji, whom she had been searching for, but she felt only gratitude and no attachment.

Yin Li felt that the Zhang Wuji in her heart was the stubborn and fierce Zhang Wuji from Butterfly Valley, so she told Zhang Wuji that she still wanted to find that heartless and short-lived Brother A Niu, and then she left.

It can be said that although Yin Li has a very fiery personality, once she likes someone, she really likes that person. As long as Yang Ke takes her away, she will definitely follow him wholeheartedly.

"I need to ask Yin Li for her opinion on this."

King Yinye did not immediately agree due to various considerations.

After all, he was the young leader of the Eagle Sect, and it wouldn't sound good for his daughter to become a sword attendant at Wudang.

“爹，我愿意！”

Yin Li had long wanted to leave this house, and she was prepared to secretly leave Yang Ke later. So after overhearing Yang Ke's words, she immediately ran over to tell him that she had agreed.

"this.."

Yin Yewang, fearing he would lose face, frowned upon hearing Yin Li's words.

"Wild King, since Yin Li has already agreed, then let her go."

Just then, Yin Tianzheng also came over with Yin Susu.
