Running to the address on the note, Han Changsheng found an alley. Dawn was just breaking overhead, so few people were out on the streets. When he arrived, Lu Qingqian stood at the alley’s entrance beside a wretched, middle-aged man. The man handed over a sack of things to Lu Qingqian, who flicked a piece of silver in his direction. Gratitude written on his face, the man sulked away. 

His heart tripping over beats, Han Changsheng felt his scalp numb. Whatever Lu Qingqian paid for wasn’t good. Was it meant for him?! The last time he left the cult, he was arrested. For him to earn his way back to his position, Lu Qingqian mixed green pepper, bitter melon, fennel, and onion into juice. He lied, telling him it was a good supplement soup.

Remembering the taste, Han Changsheng shivered. Wanting to run, he turned his head only to see Lu Baibi at his side, laughing. 

“Ha, ha,” Han Changsheng forced a laugh.

Lu Baibi stared at him for a while, then smiled. Sighing softly, he took hold of his bandaged hand. “Is it badly hurt?”

Han Changsheng grinned, but couldn’t hold back a grievance. He nodded. “En!”

Lu Baibi took a bottle of golden sore medicine from a pocket at his chest and offered it to him. Han Changsheng recognized it as a special medicine developed by Du Yuefei. It was excellent.

“Is it fun here? Are you happy these days?” Lu Baiyu asked, a smile on his face.

Lu Qingqian flipped through his purchase, then walked over with the sacks. He pouted, glaring at Han Changsheng, pretending to be angry. No matter how hard he tried, the expression on his face looked adorable. “Grandmaster, I recently learned to develop a supplement soup with Du Tang to nurture the body. Oh~ Grandmaster has been playing outside for so long, you must be very tired. Let me patch you up?”

Han Changsheng glanced at the sack in his hand, his whole body shivering. The left and right guards already recognized him, resistance was useless. He had to think of a way to scare them off!

“I. . . I. . . I have been the Grandmaster for so many years! I haven’t done anything yet, I’m ashamed to face the Tianning teachings of new and old!” Han Changsheng’s expression shifted, giving off a look of devotion to righteousness. “But, I already thought of an enormous conspiracy, to let the Tianning unify the world of martial arts through fear! Big! Conspiracy! I’ll only go back once I completed my plan!”

Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian glanced at each other, disbelief written across their faces.  

“What’s with the expressions?!” Han Changsheng was furious but anticipated it. “Don’t believe me?! How could I be lying to you?!”

Both Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian were hesitant. The number of times Han Changsheng lied to them was – quite a lot!

“When we were fourteen years old, who was the one that took down Master Lao Hua’s entire temple, and who took all the blame?!” Han Changsheng squinted.

Lu Baibi froze, biting his lip and bowing his head.

—— Six years earlier, Lu Baiqi secretly smashed Master Lao Hua’s temple. The old owner and the old teacher were furious and wanted to severely punish the chief culprit. Han Changsheng resolutely came out to take the blame. Fortunately, there were people who plead for leniency. He was punished at the cliff’s wall, to sit and reflect on his actions for a month. 

The reason why Lu Baijun smashed the temple in the first place was because Master Lao Hua had hurt Han Changsheng. He pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy since he wasn’t seriously injured. However, as Han Changsheng lay in the mud, pretending to be unable to move, Lu Baibi was furious. To rebel, he broke the temple.

“Who was the one that secretly put the seven days and seven nights madness pill in the old master’s tea, and who was punished?!”

Lu Qingqian stared blankly, pouted.

Han Changsheng was punished with devoting himself to study and work. Every day, someone had to secretly give him food and drink. To end the punishment sooner, he pretended that he was suffering from not eating or drinking. He also stole a pill from Du Yuefei that made his body feverish. Lu Qingqian was distressed and hated the old teacher for being too heavy in the punishment. He stole seven days and seven nights madness pill and put it in the old master’s tea. The incident not only didn’t reduce Han Changsheng’s punishment but increased it by a month.

Han Changsheng stared at them, his heart breaking. “I am hiding in this Yuehua Sect. I don’t eat or wear enough, I am withstanding all of this suffering for the sake of our Tianning! You two have no conscience, not even believing in my words!”

Lu Baiqi and Lu Qingqian bowed their heads.

Impassioned, Han Changsheng said, “My plan will change the future of the entire world of martial arts and completely destroy the martial arts righteous alliance. Even the gods in the sky can’t deny my plan! Just you wait and see!”

“Then, Grandmaster, what do you plan to do?” Lu Bai asked, his voice a whisper.

“This is part of a large ~ conspiracy, it’s complicated and involved. It won’t be clear in a few words,” Han Changsheng said, “But, you should help me check out something.”

“What is it?” Lu Baibi asked.

Han Changsheng said, “Huangfu Tugen from Tianyuan Mountain Villa. Help me figure out how he died.”

Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian stared blankly. Then, Lu Baibi nodded. “I know. Once I find something, I’ll come to you.”

“Grandmaster, Is it necessary to hide in the Yuehua Sect before the success of the big conspiracy? Is there any danger?” Lu Qingqian asked.

Han Changsheng waved his hand. “No. If there is any change, I will send someone to inform you!”

With lovable, cute expressions on their faces, Lu Baiqi and Lu Qingqian nodded.

Han Changsheng snickered. Fortunately, this time he was chased by Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian. Although his left and right guards had the worst temperaments, they were also the softest and most obedient. Though Han Changsheng had to pull a few lies from thin air, they fell for it. They completely forgot that they were sent to criticize and bring back their running master. If any of the four big masters realized the situation, he wasn’t in a good place.

“Right,” Han Changsheng said, “Didn’t you catch the Yin and Yang last night? Where are they now?”

As soon as he mentioned the Yin and Yang, his guards’ face lit up. Lu Baibi laughed so warmly it practically caused an iceberg to burst. “They stole from the people of Tianning, they injured the master of Tianning. Hehehehe.”

Even Han Changsheng shivered.

Lu Qingqian blinked. “They are in the alley.”

Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian took Han Changsheng into the secluded alleyway. The Yin and Yang were weak, unmoving against a wall, their acupuncture points sealed. Their blood vessels raised against their purple and black skin, their faces showed nothing short of agony. This was the limit of their endurance. 

Han Changsheng stood before them, so they looked straight at him. Horror flashed through their eyes. “You. . . you are. . .” Their voice acupuncture points weren’t sealed. They were too exhausted to yell for him.

Han Changsheng looked at them up and down. The successors of the Tianning Cult not only inherited abilities and martial arts but also a careful eye. He wouldn’t release a single person who offended him! 

Lu Qingqian untied the sack in his hand. Han Changsheng smelled a foul odor and frowned. “What is that?”

Wearing gloves, Lu Qingqian took a few bottles from the sack. Shaking them one by one in front of the twins, he said, “I found someone to buy it from. Don’t you like boys? Here is the boy’s urine, the boy, the child, the ear, and dandruff. I created these delicious snacks especially for both of you, don’t be too happy~”

Han Changsheng: “. . .”

The twins were dead-eyed with dread.

Lu Qingqian tried to pour the delicious snacks for Yin and Yang, but Han Changsheng cut him off. “Let me do it! It is my hatred! Let me personally take my revenge!”

Lu Qingqian handed him a pair of gloves and the sack of bottles.

Putting on the gloves, Han Changsheng unplugged the cork and lifted Yang Sha’s face. Desperation in his eyes, Yang Sha whimpered, “Help…”

Why would Han Changsheng listen to her beg for mercy? He poured the entire bottle into her mouth. He also uncorked and poured three bottles of the boy “essence” into Yin’s mouth.

The Yin and Yang twins immediately vomited, spitting out a bunch of blue things in the mess.

Han Changsheng was disgusted. “Don’t worry, I have a lot of delicious food here. The more you throw up, the more you’ll eat.”

Strange things happened. As the Yin and Yang vomited, their bruises gradually recovered. When they spit out everything, they returned to normal.

The Yin and Yang twins looked down at their bodies. Their stretched muscles and bones – even their sealed acupuncture points sealed were untied!

Han Changsheng looked at them in shock. Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian frowned and blocked Han Changsheng, preparing to fight the Yin and Yang. But, the twins hugged each other, bursting into tears. “Ah, hahaha! We are better! We are cured!”

Han Changsheng and his guard were stunned.

The Yin and Yang hid in the barren hills for a year and a half to avoid being caught by the Tianning. This year and a half, they couldn’t absorb children’s vital energy. The evil training method couldn’t be stopped, so the qi and blood went against the stream, and they had qi deviation. They became monsters that had to absorb vital energy every three days. They risked being chased by Tianning to return to the world of martial arts to continue to do evil. They didn’t expect that the “boys’ essence” that Han Changsheng had given them to force out the toxins in their bodies. The qi and blood that had frozen in their bodies were opened up. They no longer needed to absorb vital energy!

“Benefactor!!” Yin and Yang cried, climbing to Han Changsheng’s feet. “Benefactor! Thank you for your help! We are willing to work extremely hard for you, you are our great savior!!” They bowed, knocked their heads on the ground in front of him.

Han Changsheng was dumbfounded. Why were such confusing things happening?

Looking back down the alley, Lu Baibi shouted, “Someone’s here!”

The sky was bright, and people in town were starting to wake up, so pedestrians filtered into the alleyways.

The man stood outside the alley and looked at Han Changsheng, stunned by his position. Running out in madness, he yelled, “The Yin and Yang Twins were caught by the great disciples of Yuehua Sect! Hahaha! Caught! ”

The disciples of the Yuehua Sect moved to capture the devil’s head. Almost all the ordinary people in the town saw them. Since Han Changsheng still wore the disciple’s clothing, the man recognized him at a glance. And, since the Yin and Yang twins were the first couple to lose their children, word of the incident the former night spread throughout the town. Seeing the twins kneeling at Han Changsheng’s feet, it took a fraction of a second to understand what happened. This was a beautiful story of a hero who defeated the devil, crying with joy, and he had to run off to tell it.

Within a moment, the whole street was packed full of people.

“The Yin and Yang twins were caught? Who caught them?”

“A big disciple of Yuehua Sect!” 

“What is the disciple’s name?” 

“Li Jiulong! Yuehua Sect sent him to give the devils what’s coming to them! A good punishment to their evils! The Yuehua Sect is worthy of being a prestigious Sect!”

Han Changsheng: =口=

Lu Baiqi and Lu Qingqian looked at each other, then at Han Changsheng. “Now what?”

Han Changsheng looked disgustedly at the twins on the ground and waved his hand. “Kill them.” 

There is no room for compensation, the twins had to die. Even if they didn’t have to die, Li Jiulong wouldn’t stand for it. 

Horror darkened the twins’ faces, but they didn’t have time to ask for mercy. A cold light flashed, and the guards slit their throats.

Han Changsheng waved his hand. “You go first, I will deal with this.”

Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian nodded, then jumped onto a roof and disappeared.

The news spread very fast. Soon, the entire town was immersed in the joy of the devils being removed.

“Li Jiulong! Big hero! Li Jiulong! Big hero!” Cheering shouts resounded throughout Yueyang Town.
