I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Why didn't you take it out earlier!"

"Does he think he can only behave after a few people die? Does he know how much merit he's wasted on me?"

"I think your Yuan family has really gotten used to acting like local tyrants. When your own interests are threatened, you try to use your power to bully honest people, right?"

Qin Ge received the Xuan Yuan Black Jade, carefully sensed its rich spiritual energy, and then put it away with satisfaction.

He looked at He Yongnian, "Now it's time to settle your score!"

"Tell me, according to the rules of the Shadow Martial Hall, how should this kind of thing happening with the Yuan family today be handled in accordance with procedure?"

He Yongnian couldn't figure out Qin Ge's thoughts at all, so he could only answer truthfully with trepidation, "According to the rules, if there is a conflict between the two sides and martial artists are involved, the Shadow Martial Hall must bring them all back."

"After verifying the situation, Shadow Martial Arts Hall will handle the matter according to the fault of both parties, or transfer it to the police station for processing."

"Pretty professional!" Qin Ge nodded, then asked, "So, under what circumstances can the Shadow Martial Hall side with one side without asking why?"

He Yongnian's heart skipped a beat; he somewhat understood Qin Ge's meaning. "No, there's no such situation. Fairness and impartiality must always be upheld!"

"Dr. Qin, the Yuan family has treated me with great respect. I admit that I initially had the idea of ​​helping the Yuan family deal with you, but I haven't done anything yet!"

"Just let me go like a dog, considering I've already broken a leg. I promise I won't report anything that happened here to the Shadow Martial Hall!"

"Thinking about it is wrong!" Qin Ge suddenly shouted, startling He Yongnian. "Aren't you too spineless?"

He was very disappointed. "I've met many people from the Shadow Martial Hall, but I've never seen one as cowardly as you!"

"How did someone like you get into the Shadow Martial Arts Hall?"

"I've heard that the Shadow Martial Arts Hall has extremely strict selection criteria. Confess honestly, did you use connections?"

"And who opened the back door for you this time?"

He Yongnian's heart tightened, and he blurted out, "How does Doctor Qin know so much about the Shadow Martial Hall? Are you also a member of the Shadow Martial Hall?"

Qin Ge raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "Since when did it become your place to ask me that?"

His eyes darted around, and a new idea came to him. "Fine, I won't kill you. Go back to the Shadow Martial Hall and face your punishment!"

"Aren't you going to get lost?"

Yuan Zheng watched quietly, his mind reeling from their conversation.

The people from Yingwu Hall were so terrified. It's a shame they usually fawn over and treat He Yongnian with the utmost respect, considering him a grandmaster.

Yuan Zheng was willing to give Qin Ge the black jade simply because he believed in the principle of not suffering immediate losses. How could he not hate the loss of his son and granddaughter?

He had been hoping that Qin Ge would kill He Yongnian, so that the Shadow Martial Hall would definitely not let Qin Ge go. He wouldn't have to worry about what happened next; the Shadow Martial Hall would naturally deal with Qin Ge to avenge the Yuan family.

Unfortunately, Qin Ge released He Yongnian, and he felt a great sense of regret as he watched He Yongnian limp away from sight.

"Old man, you seem quite regretful."

Qin Ge's words startled Yuan Zheng so much that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

"No, no, I have no regrets."

"No regrets even if family members die?"

"We made a mistake and we should pay the price; regret won't help."

"Not bad, you're getting more and more insightful! I was originally planning to cripple your legs, but since you're so sensible, I'll spare them for you!"

"..."

As soon as Qin Ge returned to the Yuanjiang Villa, Xie Bingning jumped down from the rooftop, landing precisely in front of him. Her expression was serious. "You're being followed!"

"Don't be so nervous, I know." Qin Ge picked up Xie Bingning and placed her on the sofa as a cushion; she was soft and fragrant.

"Don't scare them away, I have a use for them!"

"How did things go? Did you get the items?" Shen Yulan arrived as well. "Now that there's nothing else, when do you plan to take up your post at the Shadow Martial Hall?"

"You'd better make some preparations, otherwise there will definitely be people in the Shadow Martial Hall who will not submit to you."

"Besides, you have a grudge against the former hall master Liu Musheng. The people of Shadow Martial Hall even once believed that you killed Liu Musheng. This prejudice will not disappear easily."

"They're already preparing!" Qin Ge nuzzled his head, one hand climbing onto Xie Bingning's long leg. "I've discovered quite a few scoundrels have infiltrated your Shadow Martial Arts Hall!"

"It's time to clean things up."

Shen Yulan's eyelids twitched; she had a feeling something bad was going to happen. "Even though you're the branch leader appointed by the head of the main hall, don't go too far astray!"

"If you cause chaos in the Shadow Martial Hall, I'm afraid even the head of the hall will find it difficult to keep you in line with the crowd."

Qin Ge immediately became unhappy, "What are you saying? Do you think I'm such a tactless person?"

"What do you mean I'm messing around? If you dislike me so much, then I'll go with Bingning."

......

That night, Yuanjiang Villa was surrounded.

"I thought they wanted to observe first before coming!"

"Let's go see who's here."

Qin Ge and Shen Yulan headed towards the gate, while Xie Bingning had already set up a sniper rifle from a concealed high point.

"Oh, it's you, Old Yuan! We meet again so soon!"

Qin Ge was slightly surprised to see Yuan Zheng in the crowd, but not too much of a surprise.

He then looked at He Yongnian, who was leaning on a cane, and said, "Hey, I told you to go back to the Shadow Martial Hall to confess your sins, and you came here with a cane and your men to settle scores with me?"

"It seems you haven't properly reflected on your actions or given a proper explanation!"

"Kid, you dare to spout nonsense even when you're about to die!" He Yongnian was full of arrogance; at this moment, he felt incredibly powerful.

He looked at a distinguished-looking middle-aged man beside him, "With Vice Hall Master Chang here, and so many experts from the Shadow Martial Hall in charge, you can't be arrogant anymore!"

"Deputy Hall Master?" Qin Ge looked Chang Siyao up and down, somewhat puzzled. "Don't you recognize me?"

It's really strange. Although I haven't taken office yet, it's a done deal that I've been appointed as the head of the Jiangcheng branch. It's understandable that He Yongnian doesn't recognize me, but why doesn't he even know who the deputy head is?

"Should I know you?" Chang Siyao was somewhat bewildered by the question, and more annoyed. "You're a vicious thief who robbed the Yuan family of their treasures and committed murder. Come back to the Shadow Martial Hall with us!"

Qin Ge's gaze swept over He Yongnian and Yuan Zheng one by one. "Did these two tell you that?"

"Qin Ge! Don't even think about making excuses!" Yuan Zheng looked furious and grief-stricken. "My granddaughter Mengjie befriended you and kindly invited you to visit the Yuan family, but what did you do?"

"You were so audacious that you tried to take advantage of my granddaughter, and when she resisted fiercely, you cruelly murdered her!"

"My son, Zhu'an, happened to stumble upon this, and he too was killed by you!"

"Afterwards, in your attempt to seize the Yuan family's most precious treasure, you injured many members of the Yuan family, including Mr. He, who happened to be a guest at the Yuan family residence. You are utterly depraved!"

Qin Ge was dumbfounded. Was this newly rushed script really that exaggerated?
