Chapter 10

Qin Yang coldly watched Liang Yuan, the man who had once driven his mother Xie Yan almost to madness and was now still plotting against her.

"Liang Yuan, kneel down and confess everything you have done. I might spare your life," Qin Yang said coldly.

"And you, kneel down too!"

Qin Yang pointed at Cao An.

"Ha ha!"

Liang Yuan and Cao An exchanged glances and both burst into laughter.

"Master Liang, I wonder if Qin Yang has gone mad. He’s acting like a young master. By the way, there’s a fancy carriage parked outside. I wonder where he rented it from. We know exactly who they are, and Qin Yang is just a good-for-nothing," Black Master said hurriedly.

"Black Skin, no need to say that. I know who Qin Yang is," Cao An said with a smile.

As a secretary, Cao An had naturally gathered all the information about Qin Yang and his mother. They were renting their house in Baijia Alley!

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Xie Yan, your son is quite amusing. But to say such things, he will have to pay a price. Men, break Qin Yang’s legs!"

"You dare!"

Shen Yuling said coldly.

Liang Yuan looked at Shen Yuling and smiled, "The girl is quite pretty. Qin Yang, is she your friend? Her family has some money, and they rented a carriage. She’s dressed as a maid, trying to scare me away? I’ve been through so much, if I were so easily scared, I would have died long ago."

"Tell me which family you belong to, girl. If I know them, you can leave. If I don’t, you’ll stay and serve me for a few days."

Shen Yuling’s eyes showed anger; Liang Yuan’s gaze made her feel sick.

"Yuling, let me handle it."

Qin Yang said calmly. Seeing Shen Yuling’s expression, he knew she was about to reveal her identity. Qin Yang didn’t want to rely on the Shen family to suppress Liang Yuan; that would not satisfy him.

"Yes, Young Master."

Shen Yuling said softly.

Liang Yuan chuckled, "Still putting on an act, girl. Even in a maid’s uniform, you don’t look like a servant. Black Skin, give them a chance to show their worth. Break Qin Yang’s legs, and Master Liang will reward you heavily!"

"Sure, Master Liang."

The man who called himself Black Master said excitedly.

"Qin Yang, we walked here, and you came in a carriage. It must have been comfortable, right? Black Master will make you feel even more comfortable!" Black Skin clenched his fists and approached with a sinister smile.

Black Skin’s companion also approached with a sinister smile. If they performed well in front of Master Liang, they would surely be rewarded.

Qin Yang looked at the two men with a calm expression and said, "You, commit suicide!"

At that moment, Qin Yang used a powerful hypnotic technique.

With his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Gathering and a strong soul, Qin Yang’s hypnotic technique was at the Great Perfection level. How could these two ruffians resist?

"Yes!"

The two men said with slightly dazed expressions. They both had knives, and they cleanly and swiftly slit their own throats.

Liang Yuan and Cao An were initially smiling, but when the blood started flowing, their smiles froze.

"Attack, attack, kill him!"

Liang Yuan shouted in shock. Two experts at the tenth level of Qi Gathering instantly drew their swords, and Qin Yang looked at them with a cold gaze.

"Thud!"

These two experts at the tenth level of Qi Gathering could not resist Qin Yang’s hypnotic technique. With a single glance from Qin Yang, they plunged their swords into each other’s chests, the tips emerging from their backs!

Liang Yuan and Cao An were terrified.

"Don’t be reckless. Lord Gong Jingyao is in my house. Lord Gong Jingyao, save me!" Liang Yuan shouted.

"Who dares to act so recklessly here!"

A middle-aged man in a silver robe rushed over. Seeing the two bodies in the hall, his pupils contracted.

"Lord Gong Jingyao, quickly arrest them."

"Qin Yang, you’re being too arrogant. Lord Gong Jingyao is a sixth-level Qi Gathering expert and the commander of the Western City Guard of Qingyun City."

Cao An said sternly, feeling relieved.

Liang Yuan also felt relieved.

Gong Jingyao was actually the deputy commander of the Western City Guard, not the commander, but a deputy commander was still a powerful figure in Qingyun City!

"Who dares to act so recklessly, state your name—"

Gong Jingyao said coldly, but he stopped mid-sentence. He looked at Shen Yuling with a puzzled expression and soon shivered, recognizing her.

Isn’t Shen Yuling the daughter of the Shen family?

Shen Yuling’s father’s business was enormous, with assets worth millions of silver taels, more than ten times that of Liang Yuan.

Shen Yuling’s third uncle was the commander of the Qingyun City Guard, the superior of Gong Jingyao’s superior.

"Liang Yuan, it’s just a few servants. Why don’t we just let it go?" Gong Jingyao said.

Killing in Qingyun City was a serious crime, but the law was always for the weak. If Liang Yuan didn’t care, Gong Jingyao would pretend not to see, and the matter would be over.

Liang Yuan’s face was grim. He wasn’t stupid. In this situation, there must be a powerful figure among Qin Yang’s group, probably that girl he didn’t recognize.

"Sure, sure."

Liang Yuan said hurriedly.

"Do you think it’s over just because you say so?"

Qin Yang said coldly, "Liang Yuan, I gave you a chance to kneel and repent, but you didn’t cherish it. You wanted to break my legs and keep my maid. Do you think you can still live?"

Liang Yuan said sternly, "Qin Yang, do you dare to commit murder in front of Lord Gong Jingyao?"

Gong Jingyao’s face also turned grim. Qin Yang looked at Cao An, who screamed, "Lord Gong Jingyao, Qin Yang is being so arrogant, arrest him."

"Ahh!"

Liang Yuan screamed. Cao An suddenly attacked, his short knife instantly piercing Liang Yuan’s neck, and blood gushed out.

"No, no!"

"I didn’t mean to, Lord Liang, I don’t know why I did it."

Cao An shouted in shock, Liang Yuan staring at him with wide eyes, never expecting to die at the hands of his own secretary.

Gong Jingyao’s face was grim. A death in front of him was a slap in the face.

"Lord Gong Jingyao, it’s not me, not me, it’s him." Cao An pointed at Qin Yang in terror.

Gong Jingyao said angrily, "Young Master Qin, killing in front of me is treating me as if I don’t exist. Young Master Qin, please come with me!"

"Arrest him, yes, arrest him." Cao An screamed.

At that moment, someone approached from outside. Shen Qian Shan entered the hall, and upon seeing him, Gong Jingyao immediately planned to complain.

Even with the Shen family as a backing, Qin Yang shouldn’t treat him with such disrespect.

"Young Master Qin."

Shen Qian Shan entered the hall and bowed respectfully.

A chill ran up Gong Jingyao’s spine. He thought Shen Yuling was pretending to be a maid, but seeing Shen Qian Shan’s attitude, it was clearly not the case.

Shen Yuling might be fooling around with Qin Yang, but Shen Qian Shan definitely wouldn’t.

"What are you doing here? It’s not necessary," Qin Yang said with a frown.

"Young Master Qin, I just want to observe, I won’t interfere," Shen Qian Shan said hurriedly.

Since Shen Qian Shan was here, Qin Yang didn’t bother to hypnotize Gong Jingyao. He said calmly, "Commander Gong, with your professional insight, what do you think happened today?"

Gong Jingyao suddenly drew his sword. In the next moment, his sword slit Cao An’s throat, and Cao An’s eyes were full of disbelief.

"Young Master Qin, I think it happened like this."

"Cao An colluded with outsiders to murder Liang Yuan. One of Liang Yuan’s guards was his accomplice. As a result, Liang Yuan’s two tenth-level Qi Gathering guards died together, and Liang Yuan was killed by Cao An. I arrived just in time to execute Cao An, and the two ruffians committed suicide out of fear of punishment," Gong Jingyao said.

Qin Yang’s face showed a faint smile, "Commander Gong, your insight is truly remarkable. Lord Shen, Commander Gong is such a talent, it’s a waste for him to be just a deputy commander."

Shen Qian Shan bowed, "Young Master Qin is right. I think it won’t be long before Commander Gong becomes the commander."

Gong Jingyao’s eyes showed excitement. Shen Qian Shan’s younger brother was the commander of the Qingyun City Guard. If he said this, it meant he would likely become the commander soon.

Compared to the real benefits, being ignored by Qin Yang was nothing.

Besides, even Shen Qian Shan wasn’t very polite to Qin Yang!

"Thank you, Young Master Qin, thank you, Lord Shen," Gong Jingyao said hurriedly.

Qin Yang stood up and said calmly, "That’s it. There’s nothing for us here. Mom, let’s go!"

Qin Yang and the others walked out, and Shen Yuling nodded to her father and quickly followed.

"Lord Shen, who was that—"

Gong Jingyao bowed and asked.

Shen Qian Shan thought of Qin Yang’s terrifying aura and said sternly, "Commander Gong, don’t ask what you shouldn’t. That’s how you can live longer, understand?"

Gong Jingyao broke out in a cold sweat. It was fortunate that Shen Qian Shan came over just now.

"Understood, understood."
