Mom’s spag, I should have beaten him more when I could still beat him back then!

No, ten times a day!

Ten times!

"Money is easy to talk about..."

He forcefully swallowed his saliva and tried to steer the conversation back to the main topic, "Let’s talk about the Five Poisons Cult first. Do you know that those heads hanging outside the east city gate are the Five Poisons Cult testing you?"

Yang Ge yawned deeply, smoothing his unruly hair at the front, "I know, right!"

Shen Fa was stunned, "What? You knew?"

Yang Ge rolled his eyes dismissively, "How refreshing! Did you think you’re the only clever fox in the world?"

Shen Fa was exasperated, "If you knew those fools were sent by the Five Poisons Cult to test you, why did you still kill them?"

Yang Ge replied, "What else? Just watch them break into Lu Ting and trample my rules underfoot?"

With no other choice, Shen Fa said earnestly, "I’m not saying you shouldn’t act, but can you change your habit of killing everyone the moment you make a move? If no one dies, there’s still room to ease the situation. Once someone dies, your grudge with the Five Poisons Cult can’t be easily resolved..."

"Stop!"

Yang Ge raised his hand to stop his rambling, puzzled, "Why do I get the feeling from your words that you’ve already assumed I can’t win against the Five Poisons Cult before I even face them directly? Did you hear something I don’t know?"

Shen Fa pondered for a moment and shook his head, "There’s little I uncovered about the Five Poisons Cult, and whatever I know, you probably know too."

"But this matter of the Five Poisons Cult feigning death really is quite intriguing. The way Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect behave towards them always seems so timid and unsure, including the Quanzhen Sect too, holding back when they previously teamed up to suppress others so ruthlessly!"

"I have reason to suspect these factions all know who’s behind the Five Poisons Cult..."

Listening to this, Yang Ge massaged his temples and made a "stop" gesture again, "That’s conjecture again. Oh Shen, when will you ever change this habit of overthinking and underdoing? Want to know who backs the Five Poisons Cult? Simple. I’ll go confront them, and all will be crystal clear!"

Unable to contain his rage, Shen Fa said, "After all I just explained, did you listen to nothing? I have already told you the Five Poisons Cult is not to be underestimated, and yet you’re rushing in headfirst? Aren’t you afraid it might be a one-way trip?"

Yang Ge chuckled lightly, "Then let it be a one-way trip. What’s the big deal?"

Shen Fa pressed, "How many lives do you have, being so fearless of death?"

Yang Ge replied, "Just one, does anyone have two?"

Shen Fa insisted, "Don’t be stubborn, listen to me, if you get killed, you die..."

Yang Ge interrupted him again, "That’s it? I’ve killed more people than you’ve even seen dead. You think you need to tell me that?"

Shen Fa had nothing to say.

At this moment, he especially missed the Yang Ge from the past who, upon witnessing Ding Man being beheaded in person, sat down on the ground in fright, scratching everywhere in panic...

That Yang Ge, though raw and unrefined, knew the meaning of fear and listened to others.

But the Yang Ge in front of him now was beyond unrefined!

This was utterly a god of brute force!

A proper person, upon encountering a fiercely evil being, would first think to avoid them.

This guy instead, upon encountering a fiercely evil being, his first reaction was to go straight in with a slash to see if they really were that fierce, that evil...

This was utterly incomprehensible!

He sighed, pulled over a stool and sat down, lifting the tea bowl in front of him and gulping it down before wiping the water from his lips and saying, "You’ve already decided to strike the Five Poisons Cult, haven’t you?"

The harsh winter snow blocked the roads, making travel difficult, and with Fang Ke being cautious not to jostle Zhao Miao on their way to the capital, a journey that would normally take a day at full speed took them four.

As soon as Shen Fa heard from Fang Ke that Yang Ge had ordered the beheading of the invading Five Poisons Cult members and hung their heads on the city walls, he knew trouble was brewing, and immediately began reviewing all the files related to the Five Poisons Cult in the Three Bureaus of the Imperial Guards, the Eastern Factory, and the Western Factory throughout the night, then headed straight to Lu Ting without stopping, fearing that he might be too late to rein in this fellow...

Indeed, he managed to catch up, but this fellow’s immovable attitude made him feel it might have been better not to have caught up at all.

"Who plans to chop people up for no reason?"

Yang Ge flipped his eyes and retorted, "Don’t I need to live my life?"

Disdainfully, Shen Fa ’tsk’ed, "Pretend, keep pretending! Who doesn’t know who among us brothers?"

Yang Ge puzzledly responded, "What am I pretending? If I really made up my mind to take down the Five Poisons Cult, I would have done it seven days ago; by the time you got here, I would have cleaned the place up!"

Skeptically, Shen Fa exclaimed, "Ah?" and pointed off eastward, "Then why hang those heads on the city walls? Don’t tell me you don’t know what that implies!"

"I know, right!"

Without a second thought, Yang Ge answered, "Of course, I know. Isn’t this my way of telling the Five Poisons Cult to hurry over and provide me with a proper explanation? Besides, it’s common for subordinates to misunderstand and make mistakes. I can’t just slaughter the entire Five Poisons Cult over a few dimwitted fools, can I? They aren’t afraid to die, but I find their blood too filthy!"

"But the leaders can’t be dimwitted too, right? Knowing their underlings messed up, they still didn’t rush to apologize to me? Isn’t that purely treating me like nothing?"
