It wasn't until the dungeon door closed that his eyes readjusted to the darkness.

"It's you!" His words were filled with shock.

He seemed unable to believe that the person in front of him was Jiang Lie.

He then said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you..."

Jiang Lie's lips twitched, and he sneered, "Are you trying to say that I was abandoned by the Pavilion Master and should be in a prison in H country right now? How come I'm here?"

Jiang Lie glanced at the person in front of him with disdain and continued, "Sorry to disappoint you."

Then he deliberately leaned closer and said, "It's just a pity that the Pavilion Master still prefers my physical appearance."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan immediately understood what had happened.

He felt somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't show it.

After all, he was now a prisoner, and offending Jiang Lie would do him no good. At this moment, how could he not understand what was going on?

Last night, after he and Lei Pei escaped back, the first thing they thought of was to see the Pavilion Master and report the matter to her so that she could be on guard.

Unexpectedly, before he could even see the Pavilion Master, he was knocked unconscious from behind and taken away. When he woke up, he was already here.

He never dreamed that the person who knocked him unconscious would be Jiang Lie, a pawn he had long since abandoned.

Sure enough, the Pavilion Master had been poisoned by him.

Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to rescue him, and even keep it a secret from him?

Yan Yuan had no intention of continuing to entangle with Jiang Lie, and said, "Release me immediately, I want to see the Pavilion Master."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie smiled dismissively, "Do you think you're still that high and mighty outer protector? You think you can just see the sect leader whenever you want? Let me tell you, your subordinates have already confessed everything."

The mission failed? Weren't you mocking me before? Now that it's your turn, you're nothing but trash too!

Oh, no, calling you trash is an understatement; you're trash among trash!

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan's face turned ashen, and he glared at Jiang Lie, saying, "You... Jiang Lie, don't push your luck!"

His mission failed, but it wasn't because he was useless; rather, it was because his opponent was exceptionally powerful.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Don't get cocky! You're not any better than me! Don't think that just because the sect leader cares about you, you're superior! In reality, you're just a male prostitute!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud slap echoed in the dungeon.

The sound was exceptionally clear.

With Yan Yuan bound, he had no ability to retaliate except to glare at his opponent.

Jiang Lie squinted as he approached and said, "You're wrong. With the Pavilion Master's concern, I am superior to others in Shennong Pavilion."

"As for the rest, the Pavilion Master likes my body, and I like the power and status she can bestow upon me. I am happy with it. It's better than some people who work themselves to the bone all day long, only to die without anyone to collect their bodies."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan's face turned extremely ugly.

Jiang Lie's words pierced his heart.

He is now almost fifty years old and still lives alone, without any descendants.

This just proves what Yan Yuan meant when he died; there wasn't even anyone to clean up his coffin.

But he couldn't change any of this, because his azoospermia meant he was destined to have nothing in his life.

Therefore, he is keen on pursuing power and status, because only in this way can he become a respected protector.

Jiang Lie kept his eyes on Yan Yuan and naturally didn't miss the changes in his expression.

Seeing this, he felt incredibly pleased.

Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Lie's lips curled up, and he leaned close to the immobile Yan Yuan's ear and said, "I have some good news for you, um... it might not be good news for you."

"The Pavilion Master is willing to bear my children."

The feeling of satisfaction in my heart increased even more.

Yan Yuan stared wide-eyed at Jiang Lie, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

It should be noted that the Pavilion Master has been with countless men over the years, but apart from the young Pavilion Master in his early years, he has never become pregnant and given birth to a child for anyone else.

Currently, only Jiang Lie holds this honor.

It is easy to imagine how important Jiang Lie is to the Pavilion Master.

Yan Yuan immediately became quite dejected, and when he saw Jiang Lie again, he had already begun to lose his loyalty to the Pavilion Master.

Now, Jiang Lie's words have left him completely unprepared to say anything.

From Jiang Lie's words, he knew that Jiang Lie must have known about what happened to him in the early morning. If he were willing to tell the Pavilion Master, the Pavilion Master would naturally know. But now it seems that the Pavilion Master probably doesn't know, otherwise he would definitely have met with him.

Therefore, it doesn't really matter whether he says it or not.

Yan Yuan remained silent.

Jiang Lie had no intention of letting him off so easily, so he said, "Back in Lancheng, you were the one who kicked me when I was down, weren't you?"

Yan Yuan still did not answer.

Seeing this, Jiang Lie did not let the matter rest, but continued, "Do you enjoy suppressing me? Do you really want to see me die far from home? You even dared to go and ask the Pavilion Master to abandon me? If the Pavilion Master didn't have feelings for me, you would have succeeded already!"

During that time, he felt like he was living a life worse than death in Lancheng.

He panicked when he learned that he was sentenced to death and that no one from Shennong Pavilion would come forward to protect him.

Inside, she couldn't contact anyone and could only watch helplessly as time passed.

Fortunately, on the last day, he received belated help and managed to escape death.

After he got out, he thought that one day he would make Yan Yuan taste what it was like to be in his hands, and see how he felt.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan's eyes flickered.

Yes, he almost succeeded, he was just a hair's breadth away...

What a pity...

It's a pity that time cannot be turned back, otherwise he would have tried his best to stop it.

Jiang Lie looked at Yan Yuan, seemingly guessing what he was thinking.

He stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yuan's chin, saying viciously, "Want to kill me? Too bad you're too trash. Even God doesn't want to help you. Now that you're in my hands, I'll make you wish you were dead. I'll make you watch as I'm favored by the Pavilion Master for the rest of my life, and I'll trample you under my feet for the rest of my life."

Yan Yuan felt his chin was about to go numb from the pain. He frowned deeply, but did not beg for mercy.

He knew that if he begged for mercy, it would only make Jiang Lie more arrogant and reckless.

After a while, Jiang Lie reluctantly put his hand down and then said, "Enjoy the treatment I'm giving you."

He then turned and left.

It took Yan Yuan a while to regain feeling in his mouth.

Before he could even rest for a moment, two burly men walked in through the door.

Yan Yuan recognized them; they were two of the most violent men under Jiang Lie.

Many masters have perished at his hands during the battles within the pavilion.

Even if the elders called for a halt, they would still beat the other party until their brains were splattered, leaving a gruesome scene.
