Chapter 5

Yang Fan and Xiao Lianzi immediately felt a sense of dread.

The Consort Chen of the Changqing Palace was a newly appointed concubine.

Although she had been favored by the emperor recently, compared to the Empress, her status was clearly much lower, and this also affected the status of the eunuchs like them.

Moreover, the rivalry among eunuchs was particularly fierce.

Once a mistake was found, the consequences would be severe.

"Xiao Lingzi spoke rashly out of impulse. Please forgive us, Sir."

Xiao Lianzi quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, hoping the other party would show mercy.

"Rashly? I think you were just speaking your mind!"

However, the eunuch from the Kunning Palace showed no mercy and mocked them.

"All the eunuchs from the inner court and the Twelve Supervisors come from the Eunuch Academy. A mere eunuch from the Changqing Palace dares to speak so arrogantly here. You really think you can turn the world upside down!"

"But if you all kneel down and slap yourselves ten times right now, I might let you off. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, the group of eunuchs from the Eunuch Academy immediately wore smug expressions.

Let you be arrogant, Changqing Palace! Now you're in trouble!

You've met someone even tougher!

Let's see how you handle this!

Yang Fan and the others exchanged glances, their faces turning grim.

Although they didn't know why the eunuch from the Kunning Palace was taking advantage of the situation, at this moment, they absolutely could not bow their heads.

After all, if they knelt down and slapped themselves here, it wouldn't just be their own faces they would lose, but the entire Changqing Palace's dignity!

As the saying goes, "When the master is humiliated, the servant dies."

Yang Fan, who had already seen the methods of Eunuch Li and Consort Chen, firmly believed that Eunuch Li would personally skin them and stuff their heads into their chests!

Xiao Lianzi lowered his voice and whispered to Yang Fan and the others, "The other party is here with ill intentions! But one person can't stop all four of us!"

"Right."

Yang Fan nodded silently.

Even the simple and slow Xiao Zhuzi could sense the other party's malice and was ready to fight.

Run if you can, and fight if you can't!

The four of them were of one mind.

"What, you're not going to kneel?"

The eunuch from the Kunning Palace looked at the four of them with disdain, a hint of cruelty in his eyes. "Fine, then I'll give you a lesson and break your legs!"

Boom!

He took a step forward, his back foot pushing off the ground, his body moving like a soaring eagle, instantly reaching the four of them. His hand, like an eagle's claw, reached out toward Xiao Lianzi, who was closest.

Eagle Claw Hand!

His fingers curved like iron, causing a chill.

"Attack!"

Xiao Lianzi shouted, using the newly learned Three Techniques of the Wild Ox. He performed a Wild Ox Roll to dodge the attack and then used the Wild Ox Charge.

Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Lingzi also rushed forward.

Wild Ox Horn!

The two of them charged from either side.

However, the eunuch from the Kunning Palace was extremely powerful, knocking Xiao Lianzi down and grabbing Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Zhuzi's fists with his claws.

So strong!

The entire process was instantaneous, and their combined attack seemed like a joke to him.

"This is the moment!"

Yang Fan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, saw his chance, his eyes turning cold. He leaped forward, his feet pushing off the ground like a startled wild ox.

It was also the Wild Ox Charge, but his move gave a sense of charging into battle!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The momentum was overwhelming!

His fists seemed to create a loud crack as they rubbed against the air.

The eunuch from the Kunning Palace instinctively sensed danger and pulled Xiao Zhuzi in front of him, but Yang Fan's move was a feint!

At the last moment, the Wild Ox Charge suddenly turned into a Wild Ox Roll!

Bang!

Yang Fan flashed past Xiao Zhuzi and crashed into the eunuch's chest!

The eunuch from the Kunning Palace was pushed back, his composure disrupted. Yang Fan, knowing he was a beginner and had a significant gap compared to the other, gritted his teeth and grabbed the eunuch's neck with both hands.

Headbutt!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the saying goes, "If you're not ruthless, you won't stand firm."

Yang Fan's face was fierce as he slammed his head into the eunuch's face, blood splattering everywhere, and it was unclear whose blood it was.

The two of them rolled on the ground, and Yang Fan continued to headbutt the eunuch about twenty times!

Like an old monk striking a bell.

His head was numb.

He finally stood up, dazed, and saw that the eunuch had already been knocked unconscious. Yang Fan wiped the blood from his face and turned to look at the group from the Eunuch Academy.

He grinned.

"Hiss!"

The group of eunuchs from the Eunuch Academy took a step back.

In their eyes, the blood-covered Yang Fan, with his fierce smile, looked like a demon from hell, ruthless and vicious, not to be provoked.

Didn't they see that even a eunuch from the Empress's palace was beaten to that state?

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave."

Xiao Lianzi urged, glanced at the unconscious eunuch on the ground, and immediately walked out.

Yang Fan nodded and followed Xiao Lianzi and the others, ready to leave quickly. However, just as they reached the door, they saw an old eunuch standing outside.

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his aged face expressionless, and it was unclear how long he had been standing there. His eyes, when opened, had a hidden sharpness.

On his clothes, a prominent "Kun" character was clearly visible.

"Trouble!"

Yang Fan and the others never thought they would escape one danger only to fall into another, and there was actually a big shot outside!

"It's Eunuch Huang from the Kunning Palace! Deputy Chief Eunuch Huang!"

A whisper came from the Eunuch Academy.

These eunuchs often moved between the palaces and naturally remembered the prominent figures, immediately recognizing the old eunuch at the door!

Yang Fan and the others felt their blood run cold.

Against the young eunuch, they could rely on their courage to fight.

But against this deputy chief eunuch, who was far above them in status, if they dared to attack, the charge of insubordination alone would be enough to get them in trouble.

"You little brats, very well! You actually dared to beat someone from the Kunning Palace. You really think you can do whatever you want!" Eunuch Huang's face was extremely grim, his voice as if squeezed through his teeth.

His subordinates losing face made him unhappy.

Especially since he had already recognized the young eunuch as his adopted son and made him his confidant.

He had planned to use this opportunity to teach the Changqing Palace a lesson and knock down their arrogance, but instead, he lost out and his adopted son was beaten.

"Today, I will teach you a lesson for Eunuch Li!"

Eunuch Huang stepped forward.

His movements were slow, but his presence was extremely intimidating, a heavy pressure like a mountain pressing down on Yang Fan and the others, making them feel as if their bodies were about to break, and they felt like vomiting blood.

"The matter of disciplining subordinates doesn't need your concern, Eunuch Huang!"

A cold voice came from a distance.

At first, it was far away, but the next moment, it was right in front of them. Eunuch Huang felt a sharp wind behind him and instinctively turned around.

</di>

"Isn't that right?"

Eunuch Li's wrinkled face was almost touching his.

Eunuch Li had actually come!

And he had come so quickly!

A hint of shock flashed in Eunuch Huang's eyes.

The oppressive aura that had enveloped Yang Fan and the others instantly dissipated, and he subconsciously tried to step back, but Eunuch Li grabbed his wrist.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, Eunuch Huang! You were so kind to come here and discipline my subordinates. I haven't even had the chance to thank you yet!"

As he spoke, he gradually increased the pressure on his hand.

Snap! Snap!

It was like a giant dragon coiling around, breaking bones!

Eunuch Huang felt his entire wrist about to shatter, his blood flow cut off, and at that moment, he was like an ordinary person, his life in the hands of the other.

Impossible!

How could this old man be so strong!

Eunuch Huang was terrified, almost losing control.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Eunuch Li suddenly released his grip, and Eunuch Huang took a deep breath, stepping back a few steps, looking at Eunuch Li with lingering fear.

"Truly, I underestimated you, Eunuch Li!"

"This time, I was the one who meddled!"

Eunuch Huang gave Eunuch Li a deep look, turned, and left, ignoring his subordinates.

No one noticed that his hand, tucked in his sleeve, was trembling.

When he was alone, Eunuch Huang extended his hand, looked at the purple and red handprint on his wrist, almost oozing black blood, and his face was so grim it seemed to be dripping water.

"Such a vicious Golden Cold Hand! We'll see about this!"

Outside the Eunuch Academy.

Eunuch Li watched Eunuch Huang leave, a cold smile on his face.

He turned to look at Yang Fan and the others, his face showing approval. "You few are indeed good. I didn't misjudge you!"

Although he hadn't seen the fight himself, he could easily reconstruct the scene from the evidence and the marks on their bodies.

His gaze fell on Yang Fan's forehead, and he was even more satisfied, lifting a finger.

"Follow me back to the palace."

"Yes, Eunuch Li."

Yang Fan and the others followed Eunuch Li, leaving the scene.

The incident quickly spread among the eunuchs of the Eunuch Academy.

Xiao Fan's name became known to many, especially his fierce and relentless headbutting, which drew particular attention.
