"Fine, fine, come on, Chen Jiusi is in my room, if you have the guts, come and kill him!"
Third Miss Hua’s voice was clear and cold like a night demon in the dark.
Feng San narrowed his eyes and said, "Chen Jiusi, are you in there?"
Chen Jie glanced at Third Miss Hua and said, "Sister-in-law, why provoke him? This matter is none of your concern to begin with, why muddy the waters?"
Third Miss Hua replied, "You are my brother, your concerns are mine. With your big brother away, it falls to me to make decisions on your behalf."
"Rest assured; I won’t let anything happen to you. Otherwise, how could I explain it to your brother when he returns?"
At a loss for words upon hearing this, Chen Jie could only call out to the outside, "I am here."
"Good, Chen Jiusi, you dared to kill my brother, so today I’ll kill you. You have no complaints, right?"
Chen Jie replied, "No complaints."
"Then meet your death!"
The Canglang Golden Saber was unsheathed and in the next moment, Feng San, holding the golden knife, stepped on the floor with a boom, causing the stone tiles to crack open, revealing his terrifying skill.

Such was the Iron Bone Realm!
He then charged toward the house, brandishing the golden knife, and with a single slash, he shattered the window into pieces.
[Golden Crow Saber Technique — Saber Splits the Sun!]
Boom!
The next moment, with a loud bang, Feng San charged into the room and was immediately sent flying back out, landing amidst the Beggar Sect Disciples, overturning six or seven of them.
Pfft...
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed forth as Feng San looked towards the room in shock and said, "Energy Transformation, it’s actually Energy Transformation!"
"Cough cough, who are you, who the hell are you!"
"When did Mianshui County produce such a female Energy Transformation Master like you?"
Third Miss Hua replied, "It’s none of your concern who I am. Just remember, Chen Jiusi is my brother. If you want to kill him, weigh whether you are worthy or not!"
"I’ll spare your life today, as a favor to the old beggar. But if you dare to lift a finger against my brother again, not even the old beggar will be able to save you. Get lost!"
"Cough cough..."
"Group Leader, Group Leader!"
The surrounding Beggar Sect Disciples immediately gathered around.
Feng San gestured for them to stop coming closer and then, propping himself up with the golden knife, rose to his feet and bowed, saying, "Senior, I have learned my lesson today. Let’s go!"
With that, wiping the fresh blood from his mouth, Feng San left.
Looking forlorn as if he had lost everything.
Third Miss Hua watched Feng San’s retreating figure and said to Chen Jie, "Jiu Si."
"Sister-in-law!"
"Feng San is a trusted confidante of the old beggar and also a person with real power in the Beggar Sect. I couldn’t kill him; otherwise, the Black Market would face retribution from the Beggar Sect. The brothers in the Black Market have it tough already, and I don’t want them to suffer this undeserved disaster, so I spared him. You don’t hold it against me, do you?"
"How could I bear a grudge against my sister-in-law? You didn’t need to get involved, yet you were willing to provoke the Beggar Sect for my sake. I don’t know how I could ever repay this debt."
"Heh, what talk is there of debts? You just need to call me sister-in-law, and I will look out for you."
"Don’t worry though. The reason I intervened today was to tell them that the Black Market has taken you, Chen Jiusi, under its protection, and if they’re not insane, they shouldn’t bother you again. You can live in peace for a while."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately cupped his fist and said, "Thanks to my sister-in-law, you’re so thoughtful."
Third Miss Hua responded, "Alright, you guys should sleep here tonight. There’s plenty of room. Xiao Liu, fix the window."
"Right."
Xiao Liu acknowledged and started to work.
...
There were no conversations through the night; the next morning, Chen Jie got up to find Su Yunjin coming in from outside with a bowl of fresh tofu pudding in hand, saying, "Husband, try this. Sister-in-law made fresh tofu pudding this morning; it’s probably tender."
"Is it? Then I must try it."
While Chen Jie savored the tofu pudding, he opened the window and took in the bustling Big Vegetable Market outside.
Despite the dangers of the previous night, the place was still alive with activity at daybreak.
While eating the tofu pudding, Chen Jie suddenly noticed thirty or forty Fishing Guild Disciples rushing off towards the distance.
Chen Jie was shocked and wondered what had happened.
Thinking this, Chen Jie put down the bowl and said, "Wife, wait here for a moment, I’ll go see what’s happening."
Su Yunjin replied, "Be careful, husband."
Chen Jie swiftly left the tofu shop and followed the crowd of Fishing Guild Disciples out the door, soon arriving at a large mansion, which he recognized as the residence of his Fourth Brother, the White-clothed Scholar Deng Guangming.
He then saw a corpse after corpse of Fishing Guild Disciples being carried out of the mansion.
The dead’s appearances were utterly pitiful, evidently having suffered inhuman torment before death.
Chen Jie’s face turned ashen at the sight.
He burst into the mansion, only to see corpses everywhere inside, and on a nearby wall, it was written: [Fishing Guild, Chen Jiusi, you killed my younger brother, consider this a little interest payment. I will make you beg for life but unable to live, and beg for death but unable to die! — Feng San!]
Seeing this, Chen Jie clenched his fists tightly. These Fishing Guild brothers had been tortured and killed for his sake.
Damn it, this mad dog Feng San!
Just then, he saw Deng Guangming and Lu Rong emerging from the nearby house with grim faces.
They also saw Chen Jie, and Deng Guangming said, "Fifth Brother, are you alright?"
"Fourth Brother, Third Brother, this place?"
Lu Rong said, "Twelve brothers who stood watch last night are dead, each one had been tortured. Eyes, tongues, ears, all cut off, tendons in the hands and feet all picked out, and several were..."
"Enough Third Brother, don’t go on, Jiu Si, don’t dwell on it, it’s not your fault!" Deng Guangming said, trying to console him.
Chen Jie looked at the mutilated corpses, these brothers, who had helped him look for Ruirui just yesterday, some of whom had even been on good terms with Chen Jie. Yet now they had been tortured to death by Feng San. If this vengeance was not avenged, I, Chen Jiusi, swear I am not human!
