Tricking You

East Street, Lin Family Manor.

Servants lay sprawled everywhere, some still breathing, others lifeless.

"Heaven truly pities Xu Lao San. I never expected to find such a beautiful woman here."

The two-meter-tall Xu Lao San grinned lecherously, carrying a young girl in a yellow dress over his shoulder towards the nearest room.

The girl in the yellow dress was none other than Lin Yunyun, the Lin family's precious daughter.

A short while ago, Lin Yunyun and her servants had gone out to buy some rouge and powder.

Unexpectedly, she was targeted by Xu Lao San, who followed her all the way home.

Upon entering the courtyard, Xu Lao San began his slaughter. A dozen servants were no match for him.

It only took a few exchanges for some to die and others to be wounded.

Her father and uncle were also thrown into a pond, their fates unknown.

Lin Yunyun cried, her tears streaming down her face as she struggled and beat against Xu Lao San.

However, with her slender arms and legs, her blows were no different from tickling him.

"Who are you? Why did you kill my family? Please, I beg you, let me go."

Hearing Lin Yunyun's pleas, Xu Lao San's lecherous grin grew more brazen.

"Little slut, scream all you want. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to save you."

"I beg you, my family has a lot of money. I'll give you money, please just leave, okay?"

Xu Lao San burst into laughter.

"Money? I, Xu Lao San, don't want money. I only want you."

Xu Lao San kicked open the door and threw Lin Yunyun onto the bed. He eagerly stripped off his clothes, revealing his dark chest hair.

Lin Yunyun clutched the quilt, desperately curling up in the corner.

Xu Lao San suddenly became interested, a playful smirk on his face.

"Little slut, how about this? I was originally planning to kill you all after I had my fun."

"If you serve me well, I'll mercifully spare your lives, how about that?"

Lin Yunyun looked at Xu Lao San with tear-filled eyes, a sense of deathly stillness rising in her heart.

She instinctively felt that Xu Lao San was lying. No matter what she did, he would ultimately kill them.

Lin Yunyun steeled herself, bit her red lip, and with all her might, lunged towards the corner of the bed.

But just as she was about to hit it, a hand as large as a palm appeared and directly gripped her neck.

Lin Yunyun's eyes were filled with despair.

Is there no one to save me? If someone saves me, I'll do anything they ask.

Please.

Xu Lao San sneered, "I don't like playing with dead things."

"Didn't I say that if you serve me well, I'll spare your life? Why don't you believe me?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind.

"It's more believable to trust a dog than your bullshit."

Xu Lao San's heart leaped. He casually tossed Lin Yunyun aside and struck out with a palm infused with internal energy towards the person behind him.

However, a fist imbued with overbearing internal energy shot back at him with even greater speed.

The next moment, Xu Lao San let out a piercing scream as his entire palm was twisted and contorted.

Xu Lao San stumbled back several steps, his eyes filled with terror, like a young bride who had just been violated.

In just one collision, he realized he was no match for Shen Qing.

"Who exactly are you?"

Shen Qing stomped his Carefree Steps, rapidly advancing before unleashing a punch that sent a violent wave of energy crashing into Xu Lao San's abdomen.

Xu Lao San's eyes bulged, and he desperately tried to stick out his tongue, feeling as though his stomach acid had been forced out.

"What? Is your little head controlling the big one? Did you grow your eyes in your crotch too?"

Shen Qing grabbed Xu Lao San by the head and smashed him into a nearby rosewood table, slamming him down three forceful times.

"You don't recognize my face, but you don't recognize the clothes I'm wearing either?"

Lin Yunyun's reddened eyes gained a flicker of hope.

A hero has truly come to save her.

Xu Lao San, his voice muffled by the impact, stammered, "You... you're from the Imperial Guards."

"Correct, but unfortunately, no prize!"

Shen Qing glanced back at Lin Yunyun and said in an irrefutable tone.

"You go out. What happens next is not suitable for children."

Lin Yunyun paused for a moment, but quickly realized the words were directed at her. She nodded.

Stumbling with every step, she walked towards the door, so terrified she had lost all strength.

After Lin Yunyun left, Shen Qing smiled and looked at Xu Lao San.

"Come, let me ask you, the incident with the He family in Ni Shui Alley, that was you, wasn't it?"

Xu Lao San remained silent.

"Not talking? Did you not hear me? It seems your ears are just for show."

"Since they're just for show."

"Then you don't need them!"

Shen Qing grabbed one of Xu Lao San's ears and twisted it three hundred and sixty degrees with force. Then, with a strong pull, a sound of tearing flesh rang out. Xu Lao San's ear was cleanly ripped off.

"Ahhh!" Xu Lao San screamed like a madman.

Shen Qing grabbed Xu Lao San's other ear with one hand. "If you don't speak, this one will be gone too."

Xu Lao San, a two-meter-tall man, actually burst into tears and shouted.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! It was me! It was me! I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"

"I saw that girl yesterday and acted on lust! Who knew her father wouldn't cooperate, so in a fit of rage, I killed them all."

"I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"Please let me go!"

Shen Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't rush, there's one more question. Since you call yourself Xu Lao San, do you have an older brother and second brother above you?"

Looking at Shen Qing's smiling face inches away, Xu Lao San felt like he had seen a ghost.

But the next moment, a sound of tearing flesh echoed, blood splattered, and Xu Lao San's other ear was also ripped off by Shen Qing.

Xu Lao San's wails echoed through the three surrounding streets.

"I confessed everything! Why are you still..."

"Just kidding. Even if you confess, I'll still tear them off."

Shen Qing sneered contemptuously.

Since you've already provoked the Imperial Guards, you should be prepared to not even have a complete corpse.

If you weren't even prepared for that, why would you provoke the Imperial Guards? Seeking death?

Xu Lao San roared like a madman.

"Imperial Guards? I should have known, just lackeys of the court."

"My eldest and second brothers won't let you go! The Imperial Guards are also human! At worst, I'll take you down with me!"

"I'll tell you right now, my eldest brother is Xu Long, and he's at Ox Horn Mountain. Do you dare to go find them?"

"Either one of them has a cultivation level above mine. Do you dare to go?"

"They absolutely won't let you go! You sleep, right? You rest, right?"

Shen Qing smiled and punched Xu Lao San in the mouth, making his jaw crooked.

He had originally planned to have someone else go and capture them directly.

Now, it seemed going there himself was quite necessary.

Vengeful?

Then I absolutely have to see how vengeful you are.
