How would that count as taking revenge on Cheng Yu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Feng and the others could not understand what the scholar was getting at, and all of them turned to look at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar, Qin Mosheng, stroked the small tuft of black beard on his chin and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Commander is arrogant and overbearing. Whenever someone displeases him, he kills without hesitation. One may assume he has great confidence in the Xiuchun Saber at his side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We, on the other hand, can pay a night visit to the Thousand-Household Office and silently take something from beside his bed. That will let him know that we can take his life whenever we wish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, after that, we can attend the banquet he summoned us to as if nothing had happened. In that case, no matter how furious he becomes, he will have no way to act.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the martial artists could not help leaning back slightly, delight flashing in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly was a fine plan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, they could respond forcefully to Cheng Yu without letting the matter spiral out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Qian court would hardly dispatch experts over so trivial a matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, however, someone voiced another concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if, in his rage and humiliation, he lashes out at us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So long as we do it cleanly enough, who can he seek revenge on?” the scholar sneered. “The whole jianghu of Jiannan Circuit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, without any true experts backing him, what is there to fear from a mere Fifth-Rank martial artist like him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Feng drained a bowl of wine in one gulp and burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! What is there to fear? I will take the lead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the thought of Cheng Yu’s furious yet helpless expression at the coming banquet, Mei Feng felt an incomparable sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only a mere Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Commander. Mei Feng could kill him with a single slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the master of Plum Saber Stockade had spoken, the other martial artists immediately felt much more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was a great expert standing only a hair’s breadth away from the Seventh Rank. With him supporting them, why should they fear Cheng Yu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they went through with it, they would not only deliver a powerful reply to the insults Cheng Yu had written in that invitation letter, but they would also leave behind no evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, they would demonstrate that the jianghu of Jiannan Circuit possessed both brains and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would make light work of a court hound who killed as though cutting down grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once word spread elsewhere, it would become a fine tale to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sneaking into the Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Office at night could be said to bring a hundred benefits and not a single drawback!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At midnight, the hour was already late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bustling clamor of Jiannan City by day had given way to stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary households had long since gone to sleep, or else lit candles and continued the work they had not finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rich, however, the night’s pleasures were only just beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Jinyiwei Hundred-Household Office, the Jinyiwei had not gone to rest once the hour arrived. Instead, they had gathered of their own accord in the training yard, practicing martial arts and sparring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood one thing clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harder they worked under Lord Cheng, the brighter their future would be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Cheng was a man destined to accomplish great things. He would surely lead the Jinyiwei back to the glory they had once known when they suppressed the jianghu, and the enemies they faced would only grow stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of this, the subordinates who had followed Cheng Yu all the way from Qinghe County felt it most keenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The households the Jinyiwei raided had gone from a minor force like the Red River Gang to the Gao Family of today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of their opponents had likewise continued to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to work twice as hard if they wished to keep pace with Cheng Yu’s footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The generous and magnanimous Lord Cheng always noticed those who made the effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never shortchanged the Jinyiwei on pay or equipment, and the benefits they enjoyed rivaled those of some great sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their share of the profits from confiscated households was never meager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any other place, such treatment would have been unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most precious of all, however, was that Cheng Yu distributed extremely rare pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects after taking them were remarkable, and the improvement was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Jinyiwei who had used them praised them without exception and felt deeply grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every shred of a martial artist’s Internal Energy was supposed to be cultivated through personal effort. Even the disciples of great sects could not take shortcuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet those pills shattered all such rules, something truly unheard of, treasures beyond imagining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how many favors or how much expense Lord Cheng had spent to obtain them, yet he was still willing to hand them out to insignificant people like them. It was enough to move them profoundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they thought about it, the more fiercely their will burned as they cultivated their Internal Energy methods, as if they had inexhaustible strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu watched the Jinyiwei training diligently and nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he touched the cool little snake curled up asleep in his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Susu still needs several rare treasures to recover its strength. For the time being, there are still no leads...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should focus on Jiannan Circuit first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he summoned a subordinate and asked, “Have all the invitation letters summoning the jianghu martial artists to the banquet been posted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, they have been plastered all across Jiannan Circuit. I guarantee every jianghu martial artist will see them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of those invitation letters, the subordinate grew excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When inviting people to gather, they had not even sent formal cards, but instead pasted them up like public notices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wording had been extraordinarily forceful and aggressive as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the domineering and awe-inspiring Lord Cheng, he did not place those haughty jianghu martial artists in his eyes at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, when the hired men posted the notices for us, quite a few of them were attacked and injured...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell the injured to go to the storehouse and collect wound medicine and silver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you identified the people who attacked them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people did not dare lay a hand on the Jinyiwei, so they turned to bullying innocent commoners instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a slap in the face to the Jinyiwei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, my lord. They were all masked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Cheng Yu’s gaze gradually turned cold. It seemed that some people truly did not take him too seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had too much wealth and too little fear. They were begging to be raided!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had a bit of brains, at least, and knew enough not to reveal their identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they thought that meant they could do as they pleased and walk away unscathed, then they were gravely mistaken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Draw them out again. Send a few skilled men to follow them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the subordinate departed with his orders, Cheng Yu fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the example of Sword-Forging Manor before them, the martial artists and powers of Jiannan Circuit dared not let things spiral completely out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to major matters, they acted with considerable restraint, denying the Jinyiwei any excuse for a large-scale crackdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their petty tricks never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, what they feared was only the Jinyiwei Headquarters Command Office behind Cheng Yu. They did not truly regard Cheng Yu himself as worth fearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People of the jianghu are as arrogant and self-righteous as ever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu shook his head with a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days from now, whether those people came to the banquet or not, he would make the jianghu of Jiannan Circuit understand one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Submit—or die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought in mind, Cheng Yu glanced at the late hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to his room, preparing to cultivate the Demon-Slaying Dao Canon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Susu, stand watch outside. If anyone comes, notify me first. Do not act on your own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny figure slithered out like a snake and coiled itself outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susu’s intelligence was still rather weak, and its temperament was mischievous and unruly. The moment it came outside, it immediately began thinking about slipping off to amuse itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people out there were all so weak. Teasing them was especially fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought had only just arisen, when a faint and mysterious Dao-tone suddenly sounded from within the room, and an extremely terrifying aura emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susu shuddered all over, and an extremely horrifying memory resurfaced in its mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, it obediently took up its post, standing guard for Cheng Yu with vigilant eyes on its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Office, inside a private room in a bustling tavern, Mei Feng, Liu Erniang, and the others had gathered there in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar, dressed like a pleasure-seeking young master from a wealthy family, waved his folding fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is time to move! Tonight, we will take Cheng Yu’s Xiuchun Saber and let him know how formidable we jianghu martial artists truly are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others answered excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be safe, one expert must take the lead and scout the situation first. The rest will remain outside to provide support in case anything goes wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must remain here to oversee things. Between the two of you, Mei Feng and Liu Erniang, which one will go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar looked at the other two Sixth-Rank martial artists present besides himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Feng rose at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go. I’ll make that brat understand the price of insulting me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That mere imperial hound will learn today just how formidable Lord Mei Feng is!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1699,"2026-06-03T04:54:42.394Z","2026-06-03T04:54:48.224Z",1,"novelbin.me","cfc80035f0a74801da63a51c673df07d9fd8228dc4162ca17992e6a82aa819c4","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-32","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-31",126,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-cover.jpg"]
