Chapter 114 He's Definitely Going to Die
Nighttime, at the Xie family's residence.
Ye Kang and Xie Yuan went home separately.
Inside the small courtyard, the family was gathered around the stove, brewing wine.
The Lingyu and Lingxiu sisters were busy running around, and Madam Ye felt sorry for them and said, "That's enough. Come and have some snacks. Let Ping'er do these things."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ping smiled憨厚ly and stood up to help.
To the Ye family, Lingyu and Lingxiu were not only maids, but also adopted daughters and sisters, and family members.
As the eldest brother, Ye Ping naturally took good care of them and treated them like his own younger sisters.
Looking at this happy family, Ye Long couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he smiled.
"It's a pity that Kang'er wasn't here yesterday for the Mid-Autumn Festival. He couldn't come with us to see the lantern festival. The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Jinling is much more fun than the one in the capital."
Madam Ye said proudly, "That's natural. Although the capital city is large, it has many rules, unlike our Jinling, where the city lord and the prefect don't really care."
"They may want to manage, but how can they manage these martial artists? Kang'er is also an official. Won't he be bullied by those martial artists here?" Ye Long asked worriedly.
Madam Ye sighed and said, "Who says otherwise? He still hasn't come home. I'm really afraid of him..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Kang walked into the courtyard.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm back now."
"Kang'er!"
"Second Young Master!"
The family members gathered around, their faces filled with surprise and delight.
Without wasting words, Ye Kang stretched out his right hand behind him, and with a flash of the black jade treasure, he took out one small gift after another.
These were all picked up from the ruins of the Grand Canal Market. They were of little use to Ye Kang, but they were perfect as gifts.
“Mother, this jade ruyi has the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the spirit. You can place it in your room.”
"Father, this calligraphy is the work of Master Pei Junlong, and it is worth a fortune. Please keep it safe."
"Brother, this strengthening and consolidating pill..."
“These two pieces of jewelry are exquisite and mysterious…”
As the exquisite gifts were presented, the family members were overjoyed.
Then she pulled Ye Kang into the house to take a shower and change clothes before they came out together to admire the moon, flowers, and eat mooncakes.
Ye Kang omitted some details of his trip to the Grand Canal market, but when he did recount it, it drew gasps of surprise from his family.
Such scenes were happening in every courtyard of the Xie family, and even in every household in Jinling City.
The moon is full in the sky; it would be rather unromantic not to appreciate it.
This enjoyment lasted until late at night.
……
Day two.
Ye Kang slept until the sun was high in the sky.
As a seventh-grade innate martial artist, Ye Kang can go ten days without sleeping.
However, his habits as a time traveler still told him that sleeping was an indispensable enjoyment, especially lingering in bed in the morning, which was the ultimate enjoyment.
Ye Kang woke up feeling refreshed. He had just finished lunch when Xie Yuan led a pale-faced middle-aged man over.
"Yunying, it's been a long time."
Xie Yuan ignored Ye Kang and instead greeted Madam Ye.
The latter's eyes lit up with surprise, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Third Uncle!"
"No need for formalities. I've come to ask for a cup of tea. Is that alright?"
"Uncle, what are you saying? I'm overjoyed that you came to see Yunying."
"That's good. Where's your Ping'er? And these two are your goddaughters, right? They are indeed lovely and beautiful. Come, come, your Third Grandfather has brought gifts for you."
Lingyu and Lingxiu were both taken aback.
Is there any left for me?
Ye Kang glanced at it, but didn't pay any more attention. Instead, he strode out of the courtyard.
The middle-aged man followed on his own.
The person who came was naturally Xie Xueting. Last night, when Xie Yuan returned home and told Xie Xueting that Ye Kang had broken through to the seventh rank, Xie Xueting was terrified.
He's only at the fifth-grade Xiantian level now; the gap is just too big.
However, there's no way around it; people always have to pay the price for their actions. Ye Kang spared Xie Xueting's life because of Xie Yuan's selfless help, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be punished.
Xie Yuan naturally understood this principle, so he brought Xie Xueting over directly and handed her over to Ye Kang to deal with.
The two walked to the bamboo forest outside, where Ye Kang finally revealed a strange smile.
"This must be Uncle Xueting, right?"
Xie Xueting was startled, lowered her head and gritted her teeth, saying, "Ye Kang, I'm sorry. I was really angry that you crippled my children before, so I... But I really didn't expect things to develop like this..."
"Uncle Xueting, I remember the Xie family's rule is that internal fighting is fine, but joining forces with outsiders to attack one's own family members is a capital offense, right?"
"Yes……"
"Uncle Xueting must know this rule. I should have killed you with one stroke, but Third Grandfather risked his life for you, so I will remember this one."
Xie Xueting listened to Ye Kang's tone, but her expression grew increasingly strange.
This guy is so easy to talk to?
Sure enough, Ye Kang grinned and said, "However, I am the kind of person who always seeks revenge. I must kill Wang Yintai of the Wang family, and I will have to trouble Uncle Xueting for help."
Xie Xueting's heart tightened instantly, and his expression was full of horror.
"Ye Kang, you've already destroyed Wang Yintai's Blood Robe Tower, why kill him too? He's the ninth son of the Wang family, he can't die!"
"He must die."
"Our ancestor wouldn't want to go to war with the Wang family."
"As long as we weren't the ones who killed him, all you need to do is tell me where Wang Yintai is and then take me to see him."
Ye Kang turned his head and stared coldly into Xie Xueting's eyes.
Intuition told the latter that if he didn't agree, this guy would definitely not let him go.
Left with no other choice, Xie Xueting could only nod.
Ye Kang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Uncle Xueting, making friends unwisely is a serious matter. This Wang Yintai is clearly not a good person. I'll help you get rid of him, so you don't need to thank me too much."
After saying that, Ye Kang walked back, leaving Xie Xueting standing there bewildered in the wind. His already pale face turned even paler, and before he knew it, cold sweat had soaked through his entire body.
He couldn't help but have a strange feeling.
Talking to this junior is like facing an ancestor; just standing next to him is incredibly oppressive.
……
Meanwhile, inside Qingxin Pavilion.
Wang Yintai lay listlessly on the prayer mat, his hair disheveled, his eyes vacant.
The servant standing nearby couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
"Ninth Master, you must pull yourself together!"
Wang Yintai gave a wry smile, picked up the wine jug, and poured it into his mouth.
"Cheer up? The Blood-Clad Tower has been destroyed, and all of my faction's trump cards are gone. My second brother doesn't know about this yet, but how many more days can we keep it a secret? I'm finished..."
"Ninth Master, there's still a chance!"
"what chance?"
"Have you forgotten Shi Dake from the Shi family? He's been trying to get close to you these past few days, probably because he wants something from you. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity?"
Wang Yintai frowned and shook his head dejectedly.
"Shi Dake has no influence in the Shi family, how could he possibly help me?"
The servant lowered his head and said softly, "Ninth Master, how could you forget that Shi Dake has a widowed sister? Second Master asked you to marry her before, but you refused. Now that we've gotten into trouble, you should make the sacrifice and marry that young widow. It will appease Second Master."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yintai froze, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes.
"Does it really calm you down?"
