Luo Ning didn’t feel any pressure at the moment. She was dressed as a cold heroine in blue. She was walking beside Ye Jingtang and disciplining rhe bird, who didn’t know how to return home. “You were on the ship for so many days, but you were upstairs all day. Ye Jingtang is injured, but you didn’t even come back to visit…”

“Chirp chirp…”

Ye Jingtang finished his work and returned to freedom, so his gait naturally became much more relaxed. When he reached the entrance of the alley and saw the old escort Yang Chao coming out of the back alley, he said from afar, “Old Yang.”

“Oh! Young Master, you’re back.”

Yang Chao quickly ran over and sized up Ye Jingtang, whom he had watched grow up. Joy and exclamation were written all over his face. “Young Master, you’re amazing. If the master in heaven knows that you’ve become the Saber Chief, he will definitely be so happy that he won’t be able to sleep for three days and three nights. Hell have to tell everyone…”

Ye Jingtang chuckled and asked, “Has anything happened to the business at Heavenly Water Bridge recently? How’s Little Six’s leg?”

“Little Six recovered a long time ago. He went out on an escort mission today. As for Heavenly Water Bridge, after you established your prestige among the gangsters of Yun’an City, Heavenly Water Bridge has almost become a forbidden area. Even petty thefts go around it…”

Luo Ning followed behind them and asked after some thought, “What has Yunli been doing recently? Has she been naughty on the streets?”

Zhe Yunli walked the streets all day long and basically knew everyone on and around Heavenly Water Bridge. But because she was cute and polite, the neighbors had a good impression of her.

Yang Chao didn’t say that Zhe Yunli was idle all day. Instead, he replied tactfully, “Miss Yunli is very sensible. She helps Madam Zhang inspect the stores every day. Things are busy at Dye Workshop Street, so she often goes over to help keep an eye on things. She went out this morning and stayed at Dye Workshop Street all day…”

Luo Ning blinked. She felt that Yunli shouldn’t be so sensible, but there was nothing wrong with temporary inspections. She felt a little relieved.

After Ye Jingtang and Yang Chao finished chatting, the three of them walked toward the Pei residence together.

Luo Ning said, “Yunli should be at Double Osmanthus Alley. I’ll go back first. Have a good rest tonight.”

“Hmm?” Ye Jingtang looked cold and aloof like a modest gentleman. But as a man, he would definitely have some indescribable thoughts when he was about to reach home.

Seeing that Luo Ning was about to run away, Ye Jingtang grabbed her wrist and looked around. “It’s already so late. Let’s rest first and go back tomorrow morning.”

How could Luo Ning not understand the little thief’s thoughts? After looking at Third Lady, who was talking to a maidservant at the door, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, “I’ll go back and accompany Yunli. If you want to recuperate, teach Third Lady a lesson. She’s a newborn calf that’s not afraid of tigers. She keeps saying that I’m useless all day. You have to let her experience the depths of suffering.

‘Til come over tomorrow. If she can still stand, don’t come to me in the future. Anyway, she can finish helping you recuperate alone…”

Ye Jingtang still wanted to keep Ning’er. For this reason, he wrapped his arms around her waist in the dark of the alley and gently kneaded the moon. “Third Lady is an external martial arts expert. Her body is sturdy. It’s impossible for me to do it without any restraint…”

Luo Ning’s face turned red after she was rubbed twice. She was a little distracted and pushed gently with her hand. “You have so many tricks up your sleeve, but you only know how to do them to me? I don’t believe that she’s made of iron. You…”

At this point, she took out a small medicine box from her bag and whispered into Ye Jingtang’s ear.

The specific meaning was probably to make Third Lady lose her hair and then bring her to experience the flowers and rain of the jade tree in the backyard so that she could see how sinister people s hearts were.

Ye Jingtang hugged Ning’er, who had come up with the bad idea, with a strange look in his eyes. “That’s not a good idea, right?”

“Why not? The more I don’t agree to something, the more energetic you become. But when it comes to Third Lady, you’re soft-hearted and know how to behave?”

“Sigh…”

Luo Ning stuffed the medicine box given by Madam Wang into the hand of Ye Jingtang, who was pretending to be unwilling. She let him kiss her twice before forcing herself to calm down and leading the horse away.

The bird had been out for many days and missed Poached Eggs very much. Seeing this, it jumped all the way and followed Luo Ning.

Ye Jingtang held the ‘scoundrel potion’ and found it funny. After watching the human and bird turn around the alley, he put away the item and entered the Pei residence.

After returning home, PeiXiangjun returned to her mature and steady appearance as a boss. She brought Ye Jingtang to the main hail to meet Madam Zhang and told her about the trivial matters of the trip to Wu Province. She didn’t mention anything about giving herself for free.

When Madam Zhang married into the Pei family, the former Spear Chief had been at the height of his power, and the Red Flower Pavilion had been at its peak. She had personally watched the Red Flower Pavilion fall from a top Jianghu force to a second-rate force that people could step on.

Now that she heard that Ye Jingtang had become the Saber Chief, it was enough to revive the family. Madam Zhang felt the boulder that had been weighing on her heart for many years had been removed. It wasn’t an exaggeration to describe her reaction as tears of joy.

However, Madam Zhang also had some doubts. After sighing for a moment, she said, “For the sects of Jianghu, the most important thing is inheritance. Be it martial arts concepts or working styles, they must be of the same origin to be considered orthodox. It’s naturally a good thing for Jingtang to attain the title of Saber Chief. But if the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion uses a saber to settle matters, the people of Jianghu will still think that the Red Flower Pavilion’s inheritance is broken…”

Ye Jingtang held his teacup and replied, “Not many people know my identity in the Red Flower Pavilion. In the future, I’ll just use a spear to deal with the matters of the Red Flower Pavilion. When 1 master my spearmanship and avenge Uncle, those Jianghu prejudices will naturally cease to exist.”

Madam Zhang’s husband, Pei Yuanming, had obtained the title of Spear Chief through the inheritance’ method. But in the end, he had died at the hands of ‘Spear Chief Duan Sheng]i not long after.

As soon as the incident happened, not only did no one in Jianghu recognize the former Spear Chief, but the Jianghu hero who was originally on par with Qiu Tianhe even had the reputation of being unworthy of his position. It could be said that his death had become a joke in Jianghu..
