"They all treated me like I was nothing; if I don’t strike back, wouldn’t I really become nothing?"
Shen Fa chewed over his words and found them crudely put but substantively sound.
Yes, his judgment was not off. This was indeed a test from the Five Poisons Cult for Yang Ge... a test to see if Yang Ge was truly unsurpassed!
"From what you’re implying..."
After considering for a while, Shen Fa cautiously asked in a low voice, "You think you have a good chance against the Five Poisons Cult?"
Yang Ge looked at him with a strange expression and shook his head, "I haven’t even faced them once, how could I have any assurance?"
Shen Fa frowned, about to speak, when he heard Yang Ge continue, "However, I’m very confident about dealing with those five old goods from the Imperial Horse Supervisor!"
Shen Fa was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Yang Ge looked at him as if he were a fool, "And you still dare to call yourself the ’Jade-Faced Fox’? Let me ask you, what’s the surname of the Emperor today?"
Shen Fa, "It’s Zhao... talk properly, don’t mess around!"
Yang Ge clapped his hands, "There you have it. If the Five Poisons Cult can’t even dominate the land, they certainly can’t handle those five old goods from the Imperial Horse Supervisor. If I can deal with those from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, why would I fear the Five Poisons Cult?"
Shen Fa’s brain overloaded, and it took him several seconds to sort out that inequality.
Then...
"Damn!"
He exclaimed in shock, "Are you using the court as a standard?"
Yang Ge shrugged, "What can I do, I’ve only met so many Grandmasters!"
Shen Fa scratched the back of his head vigorously, trying to suppress the goosebumps all over his body.
Had this guy really become so powerful?
He picked up the teapot to refill his bowl with tea, gulped it down in one go, and his brain finally caught up.
"Bang."
He smashed the teacup back onto the table forcefully, the sound so loud that Yang Ge couldn’t help but check the tabletop again.
Seeing this, Shen Fa quickly said, "I’ve paid off my debts, this is my table now, I’ll smash it if I want. Let’s focus on what matters... We’ve speculated that someone powerful is behind the Five Poisons Cult, someone who can make the Five Poisons Cult serve them loyally and cause the Quanzhen Sect, Ming Sect, and White Lotus Sect to be wary. If you were to confront him, how confident are you?"
Yang Ge also scratched his head, "Haven’t I told you, I haven’t even seen the guy, how can we talk about confidence?"
Shen Fa, "You don’t have any confidence, and you dare to go ahead?"
Yang Ge, "I don’t have the confidence to kill him, but does that mean I don’t have the confidence to come back unscathed?"
Shen Fa, "Are you sure you do?"
Yang Ge, "As long as he isn’t too outrageous, I do!"
Shen Fa, "How can you prove it?"
Yang Ge, "How about I beat you up now to prove it?"
Shen Fa quickly waved his hand, "There’s no need for such trouble, I just want you to think it over more carefully..."
Yang Ge, "I am being careful, aren’t I also waiting? If he was confident about beating me, wouldn’t he have come to find me by now? His not coming also shows that he isn’t sure about beating me either."
Shen Fa looked at him in amazement, surprised that over these few days this guy had managed to understand such a deep strategy.
Not only did his martial ability become more monstrous, his mind was also getting sharper!
Shen Fa, "So what are you planning to do now?"
Yang Ge, "Cool off!"
Shen Fa, "Can’t you talk seriously?"

Yang Ge, "I plan to let the bullet fly a little longer; do you understand?"
Shen Fa, "Somewhat, somewhat..."
Yang Ge, "It’s good that you came just in time; I was worried about no one to look after the house when I’m away. Now that you are here, help me look after the inn and the Liu family."
Shen Fa, "Huh? Are you kidding me? I, in my position as Commander of the Imperial Guards, you want me to manage your..."
Seeing Yang Ge’s growing disapproval, his voice dwindled, then suddenly he changed his tune, looking utterly earnest, "No problem, just watch and see. If nothing else, I know how to manage a big tea pot like no other!"
Yang Ge, "What the hell are you babbling about? My place is a legitimate inn, not a brothel!"
Shen Fa, "The affairs of pleasure, you don’t need to worry about!"
