Chapter 271 It Has Nothing to Do with Me
Ye Kang's condition is actually not good right now. His true energy is recovering very slowly, and all his strength has been drained by the Biluo Blade.
If the Golden Mouth Diviner hadn't been scared away, Ye Kang would have been dead for sure. But luckily, that guy was a coward and gave Ye Kang a chance.
He only needs to remain nonchalant to frighten Zuo Mingyue and Han Xiu.
Sure enough, both of them turned pale upon hearing Ye Kang's words.
Zuo Mingyue looked at Han Xiu in disbelief: "How could this be! Isn't your master a Grandmaster of the Lotus Realm? Why couldn't he even withstand a single move!"
Han Xiu shook his head, trembling: "I didn't know! This person's strength is even higher than my master's! He's definitely a Lotus Realm expert! We've all been deceived!"
Han Xiu looked at Ye Kang, his body trembling to the extreme.
Even our master was driven away, so what can we do?
He sighed, bowed his head and clasped his hands, saying, "Senior is too kind. How could we dare to run away in front of you? We only ask that you tell us what we are here for tonight."
Ye Kang snorted coldly.
"Didn't I already say it? It's because you colluded with the White Lotus rebels."
"This……"
Han Xiu was drenched in sweat and didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this moment, the retainers and servants of the Duke's mansion had arrived, but having witnessed Ye Kang defeat the Golden-Mouthed Diviner, none of them dared to step forward again and could only linger in the distance.
Upon hearing this, they all stared at Han Xiu in shock.
After all, the White Lotus Sect was a rebel party designated by the imperial court, and colluding with them was tantamount to treason. They had no desire to get involved in such matters.
Ye Kang continued, "Your master has already run away. Who do you expect to stand up for you? You might as well confess now and try to get leniency. It's better than dying without knowing why."
After Ye Kang finished speaking, he pointed his blade.
The chilling aura terrified Han Xiu, causing him to kneel on the ground: "Spare me! This matter has nothing to do with me; at most, I was just refusing to report it!"
"what!"
Zuo Mingyue stared at Han Xiu in shock, taking several steps back, her expression almost distorted.
"You bastard! Are you trying to get us killed?!"
Han Xiu smiled bitterly, "It's better than dying now."
Upon hearing this, all the retainers and servants gaped in astonishment.
This is tantamount to admitting it!
They couldn't believe that Zuo Mingyue was this kind of person!
Ye Kang continued, "Han Xiu, are you the mastermind?"
The latter hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "It's Lord Zuo..."
"you you you!"
Zuo Mingyue pointed at Han Xiu, finally unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground, fainting.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Ye Kang thought for a moment, then stopped attacking and immediately used the little true energy he had managed to recover to flee the scene at top speed.
Using the Skywalking Step, he transformed into a gentle breeze and left the Duke's mansion in an instant, leaving behind only a group of stunned retainers.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the door!
"The Azure Scale Guards are investigating! Protect the Duke of Wei!"
The Azure Scale Guards arrived, and the White Stork and Iron Oriole set out simultaneously, taking the lead.
After all, the Golden Mouth Diviner's actions were too commotion-making, which naturally attracted the attention of the Azure Scale Guards. At this moment, all the experts in the city were focused on the Duke's Mansion.
Before the two garrison commanders could figure out what was going on, a group of retainers knelt down as soon as they entered the gate.
"My lord, spare us! We didn't know anything about it! It was Zuo Mingyue and Han Xiu who did it!"
The white stork and the iron oriole exchanged a glance, both seeing utter bewilderment in each other's eyes.
……
the next day.
Ye Kang woke up in bed, feeling sore and weak all over, utterly exhausted.
After consuming the Nine-Star Immortal Grass and a pile of Qi-restoring pills, Ye Kang recovered his true energy, but his physical body and soul were still extremely exhausted.
I felt better after taking a nap, but I didn't fully recover.
That stab last night really drained him dry.
At this moment, Ye Kang suddenly felt a chill.
He opened the window, and sure enough, it was snowing lightly outside.
The pedestrians on the street had all changed out of their autumn clothes and put on thicker cotton-padded coats and shoes. Several disheveled beggars huddled in a corner, shivering. A breakfast stall nearby, seeing their pitiful state, gave each of them half a steamed bun...
Before we knew it, autumn had passed, and tonight we have entered the winter month.
However, Ye Kang, being a martial artist, didn't pay much attention to the temperature changes.
He sighed, deeply saddened.
I've been in this world for a while longer now. The Qiantang matter is over, and the system doesn't have any new tasks. The only task is to find the Xuancha Crystal Sand to repair the Moyu Ancient Treasure.
But who knows where to find this thing? There's no use in being anxious.
"It's time to go back to Jinling."
Ye Kang sighed.
"You're going to Jinling!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Dai Huanhuan walked in carrying a bowl of hot soup.
He looked at Ye Kang with surprise, his expression somewhat complicated.
Ye Kang laughed and said, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. In another twenty days or so, I will be able to restore your aptitude. You and your master would be better off coming to Jinling with me."
The Demon Furnace still has more than twenty days left before the refining process ends, which means Ye Kang can't complete the task and can only wait with Dai Huanhuan.
Upon hearing this, the latter beamed with joy again: "It's alright, no rush, I have some fantastic news to tell you!"
"what?"
"Zuo Mingyue has been arrested!"
Dai Huanhuan walked in laughing, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, and said, "Something big happened last night. It is said that a mysterious person broke into the Duke's mansion, crippled the Golden-Mouthed Diviner, and forced Zuo Mingyue to admit to colluding with the White Lotus Sect. Now the Azure Scale Guard is arresting people all over the city and dealing with Zuo's cronies!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's lips curled into a smile: "Good news."
"Stop pretending, I know, that mysterious person must be you."
Dai Huanhuan showed no surprise, as if she had known all along that Ye Kang would make a move.
Ye Kang shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me."
Dai Huanhuan immediately nodded: "Understood! It has nothing to do with you! But I'm really curious, how did you manage to cripple the Golden Mouth Diviner and force him to flee in a sorry state?"
"I already said it wasn't me."
"Okay, okay, it wasn't you. By the way, Lu Wentao came to the inn looking for you and said he was very grateful to you."
"Lu Wentao? Isn't he still in prison?"
"He's been released! With your relationship with the Qinglin Guard, they'll definitely take care of it right away. As soon as the Duke's Mansion had that incident, the garrison general was taken into custody by the Qinglin Guard, and Lu Wentao was also released. Not only was his status as a scholar restored, but he was also compensated with money, and they promised to rebuild the West Lake Pavilion for him."
Ye Kang looked surprised: "Who did this? So efficient?"
"It must be the white stork guarding the town; it was he who brought Lu Wentao here."
"Interesting." Ye Kang shook his head. It seemed that the white stork also had some doubts about him.
However, he had no evidence, so he probably pretended not to know anything.
With his help, Lu Wentao will definitely not be implicated in this matter again in the future.
Ye Kang nodded: "It seems I've been lucky; the mysterious person has helped me resolve everything."
"so?"
"Let's set off immediately and return to Jinling."
