Kang Jing: ...
Kang Jing: "No, I will never let her go. I want to avenge my mother!"
After a moment of silent silence, Kang Jing stood up straight and answered Yan Cheng's question firmly. He seemed to have figured something out, and his face became several times darker.
The sun was scorching outside and the atmosphere inside was gloomy. Yan Cheng saw the fire burning in Kang Jing's eyes, and he was the one who ignited this fire.
"Brother Cheng, can you lend me your people for a while?"
"good."
"Brother Cheng, do you mind if my hands are stained with blood?"
"Of course not, as long as you are still Brother Jing, I will never mind any side of you."

Yan Cheng watched Kang Jing leave the Yan Mansion.
When he was the only one left in the main hall, he sat there for a long time, unable to come back to his senses, until the familiar sound of footsteps fell into his ears.
"Leng Yan."
The light shouting sounded so unreal that Leng Yan couldn't help but frown.
Leng Yan's lightness skills were so outstanding that if he wanted to, Yan Cheng wouldn't hear any footsteps.
But every time Leng Yan appeared, Yan Cheng could hear footsteps, as if deliberately reminding him "I'm here".
"Unhappy?" Leng Yan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip without any hesitation.
Of course, he took the teacup that Yan Cheng had used, and pushed the teacup that Kang Jing had touched aside.
Yan Cheng saw his movements, but said nothing. He swung his legs and held his chin with his hand and said, "Brother Jing has found the murderer of your mother."
"Well, I just asked that team of secret guards, and they told me about this."
"But Brother Jing couldn't find any evidence that the man killed Mrs. Kang, so he couldn't bring her to justice. But I couldn't help but see the murderer was so gloating, so I bewitched Brother Jing and asked him to kill that person. Do you think I'm a bad person?"
"Of course not."
Leng Yan had an expression that said, "How could you do that?" "Killing someone means paying with your life. Even if Kang Jing really killed that person, it was because that person killed his mother first. What does it have to do with you?"
Yan Cheng: "If I hadn't bewitched Brother Jing just now, maybe he wouldn't have thought of killing that person himself to avenge himself."
"Don't be so sure. Master, how do you know that Kang Jing won't impulsively take revenge on his own when he finds that the law can't stand up for Madam Kang?"
Leng Yan actually seldom uses the title of "master". Even if he does, he doesn't use that humble tone. Instead, it sounds like a joke.
The two of them acted more like friends than master and servant.
Yan Cheng opened his mouth and closed it again. He stopped talking because he felt that Leng Yan was right.
When a man is pushed into a corner, he can do anything.
It's like the woman accepted the hard-earned money that the man's family had worked hard for many years as a betrothal gift, but then she turned around and refused to marry him but refused to return the money. In the end, the man killed the woman's entire family in anger.
A faint sigh drifted away, as if lamenting the unfairness of fate.
Yan Cheng: "Leng Yan, we are going to the capital soon, are you looking forward to it?"
Now that the matter in Yulin Prefecture is settled, it is time for them to go to the capital.
Leng Yan thought about it and asked humbly: "Hmm~ Do you think I should look forward to it?"
"Should you expect me to know?" Yan Cheng replied unhappily, then stared at Leng Yan's handsome face. "I don't know where you were from, or if you have any impression of the capital."
Of course, Leng Yan, who had lost his memory, didn't know where he was from.
He poked the side of his face with his index finger and said jokingly, "Maybe I'm from Nanyou Country?"
"Stop joking." Yan Cheng rolled his eyes. "Why would someone from Nanyou come to Yulin Prefecture?"
Yan Cheng raised his fingers twice and said, "From the southwestern border to Yulin Prefecture, there are several prefectures in between. Besides, is Yulin Prefecture worthy of the covetousness of the Nanyou Kingdom?"
"Even if Nanyou Nation truly wanted to explore Daxia's secrets, they should have gone to places like the capital, Zhili, or Yangzhou. Why would they send people to tiny Yulin Prefecture?"
"That makes sense. It seems I can't be from Nanyou." Leng Yan was persuaded by Yan Cheng. "That's good. I don't want to stand against my master."
Daxia and Nanyou are at loggerheads with each other, and the people of the two countries are opposites.
but……
Leng Yan looked at Yan Cheng's fair profile and thought seriously that even if he was a Nanyou person, he would not stand against this little guy.

When the news of another death in the Kang family reached the ears of the general public, Yan Cheng was inspecting Yian Bookstore with Feng Guang.
After Kang Jing went to Yan Mansion to find him, Yan Cheng realized that it was almost time for him to leave, so he began to make final preparations before leaving.
In fact, there was nothing much to prepare. Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged in advance, and things that needed to be dealt with were almost done. I happened to meet Feng Guang while strolling on the street, and the two of us came to Yian Bookstore together.
The bookstore was under the control of a trusted shopkeeper, so they didn't need to do anything. When the two of them arrived, they just inspected the shop with their eyes, and after a quick look around, they went to a specially reserved room upstairs to drink tea.
The two of them were talking about how to create the next popular storybook. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and Yan Cheng heard a few key words with his excellent hearing.
The Kang family, the dead, the aunt, the master...
Thinking back to their conversation when Kang Jing came to Yan Mansion to find him, Yan Cheng instantly guessed what had happened.
Feng Guang also cares about the Kang family's affairs. Kang Jing is also his friend. Although he first met this friend through Yan Cheng, they have become close friends after years of getting along.
The two of them found the waiter hired in the bookstore and asked what the people below were discussing.
The waiter, who loves gossip every day, became excited when he heard it and immediately shared the gossip with his boss and his friends.
