7: Chapter 7: Pretending to be weak while actually being strong! A useless prison guard? A budding swordsman's skill leads to bloodshed in the Tiger Gang.

"My Lord, you must help my little brother take revenge."

"That Jailer must be an undercover agent."

"It must be that the Jailer fled during the battle."

"Poor little brother of mine!"

After Li Wan'er finished speaking, she buried her face in Ma Yong's chest and wept.

Li Wan'er's tears dampened Ma Yong's lapels.

Her weeping was soft, yet it felt like a dull blade, slicing into Ma Yong's heart with every sob.

"Wan'er, rest assured!"

Ma Yong's voice was low and firm, revealing an indisputable ruthlessness.

"That Jailer will absolutely not live past tonight."

"I will have someone go fetch his head later to pay tribute to your little brother!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wan'er sobbed and lifted her head; through tear-blurred eyes, her gaze revealed a hint of determination.

"My Lord, I cannot wait even a moment for my little brother's revenge."

"You are a pillar of the Zhenwu Guard, with heaven-reaching means; you will surely be able to make that little thief wish for death rather than life."

Ma Yong was stirred up by Li Wan'er's flattery.

He clenched his fist abruptly, and the cups and saucers on the tea table shattered instantly.

"Zhang Tian, arrange for a few people from the Fierce Tiger Gang to slaughter that beast."

"A waste with no Cultivate, no need for you to take action yourselves."

"Remember, do not leave any evidence for that guy Zhang Qi."

"Lest it affect our plans."

Ma Yong gave instructions to his trusted aide.

Hearing Ma Yong's arrangements, Li Wan'er looked up, gazing at Ma Yong with teary eyes, and said softly.

"My Lord, thank you!"

"Wan'er is endlessly grateful and will definitely serve you well from now on."

Hearing Li Wan'er's words, Ma Yong immediately recalled Li Wan'er's "skills."

Instantly, desire arose, and his "brother" stirred slightly.

Li Wan'er also sensed Ma Yong's change, looking at him with alluring, hazy eyes.

Just as Ma Yong intended to pull her into the backyard to get moving.

The trusted aide from the Zhenwu Guard whom he had just ordered—Zhang Tian—bowed and replied.

"Yes, My Lord!"

"This humble one will go arrange it immediately and will absolutely not leave any evidence behind."

Hearing Zhang Tian's words, Ma Yong waved his hand impatiently, signaling them to leave.

After Zhang Tian and the others left, Ma Yong impatiently picked up Li Wan'er and entered the backyard to "exert his power."

...

Meanwhile, Gu Han also arrived in the courtyard and took out the "Town Prison Saber Technique" to Cultivate.

This "Town Prison Saber Technique" has a total of four Moves.

They are the Wind-Splitting Slash, the Startling Swan Slash, the Soul-Severing Slash, and the Town Prison Slash.

Although this "Town Prison Saber Technique" is a Martial Skill of the Body Tempering Realm, its Moves are simple and practical; it appears plain and unadorned, but actually conceals mysteries.

The four Moves complement each other, and when practiced to a profound level, they can erupt with astonishing power.

I don't know if it's because of the Transmigration, but my memory seems to have developed.

Gu Han memorized the content of all the Moves after reading them through.

"If I had this memory in my previous life,"

"Top universities would have been easy to get into."

Immediately, Gu Han focused his mind and threw himself entirely into practicing the saber technique.

He held his saber, standing in the center of the courtyard, with the tip of the blade lightly touching the ground.

He first calmed his mind and regulated his breathing, then slowly began to channel the path of the "Town Prison Saber Technique" Moves.

...

Unconsciously, Gu Han had practiced until evening.

"Town Prison Saber Technique" had been practiced to the entry level.

Now, Gu Han was able to bring out his own strength.

He wouldn't just have the Cultivate without any combat power.

As for wanting to fight across ranks, he probably still needed to Cultivate more.

If Zhao De saw this situation, his jaw would drop.

"I'm a bit hungry."

Gu Han sheathed his saber and immediately felt his stomach growling.

Immediately, Gu Han went into the house, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went out to eat.

As soon as he left his house, Gu Han felt that quite a few people were constantly sizing him up.

In his memories, these people were not neighbors from the vicinity.

"Something is strange!"

After muttering to himself, Gu Han quickened his pace and left.

Following his memories, Gu Han arrived at a small stall where he usually ate.

"Shopkeeper, serve the food."

"The same as usual."

When the vendor saw it was Gu Han, he smiled and said.

"Alright!"

"Young Master Gu, please wait a moment."

While Gu Han was waiting, that feeling of being watched became increasingly intense.

The few people he had encountered earlier at his doorstep had also followed him here.

However, even after searching through his memories, he could not find any connection between these people and the original owner.

"They are coming for me."

Gu Han thought to himself.

At this moment, the stall owner brought out the food.

"Young Master Gu, this is your meal, please enjoy it slowly."

After saying this, the stall owner was about to leave.

"Shopkeeper, stay a moment."

Hearing this, the stall owner turned around.

"Young Master Gu, is the food not to your liking?"

"Then I will exchange it for you right away."

"No need."

Gu Han interrupted the stall owner.

"Shopkeeper, do you recognize those few people?"

Gu Han gestured for the stall owner to look behind him.

When the stall owner saw those few people, his expression changed.

"Young Master Gu, have you provoked them?"

Gu Han did not speak, he shook his head.

Following that, the shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"Young Master Gu, those people are from the Fierce Tiger Gang."

"They usually do all sorts of low-down things."

"The leader is called Lai Three, he is a small boss in the Fierce Tiger Gang."

After learning the identity of those few people, Gu Han was confused, but he didn't take it to heart.

If it were the former him, he would definitely have found a way to avoid them.

As for the current him, taking down these few people would be as easy as flipping his palm.

Immediately, he took out some silver, gave it to the stall owner, and began to eat heartily.

While eating, he secretly observed Lai Three and his group.

At this time, one of the underlings behind Lai Three said.

"Brother Three, why didn't we just take him down at his doorstep?"

Upon hearing this, Lai Three looked confident, and just as he was about to speak, another underling immediately flattered him.

"Zhou Liu, what the hell do you know?"

"Brother Three has already planned this out."

Hearing the underling's flattery, Lai Three was very pleased.

"Zheng Five, you are the one who understands me."

Hearing Lai Three's praise, Zheng Five looked at the other underlings with a proud expression.

Immediately after, Lai Three said.

"This kid is a Jailer after all, and his family has lived there for generations. If we take him down there, it won't be easy for us to escape."

"Killing this kid at home would have a huge impact."

"Once the Zhenwu Guard starts investigating, even the Hall Master won't be able to protect us."

"But taking him away on the street, killing him in a corner, and then disposing of his body properly—that's a different story."

"Even if someone recognizes us, as long as they can't find this kid's body, we can quibble our way out of it, and the Hall Master will be able to protect us."

"The Zhenwu Guard won't investigate too deeply either."

After hearing Lai Three's explanation, the underlings loudly flattered him.

"As expected of Brother Three."

"Brother Three is wise."

"Brother Three has great wisdom."

...

Feeling the flattery of his underlings, Lai Three was very pleased.

"Brother Three relies on his brains to get by."

"You all need to learn more."

"Even learning just the basics is enough to last you a lifetime."

Lai Three couldn't help but brag.

At this moment, Gu Han couldn't help but find the expressions of Lai Three and his group amusing.

Immediately, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the remaining food.

Then he stood up.

Lai Three and his group saw Gu Han leave the stall.

Lai Three immediately signaled two underlings to go up, grab Gu Han, and take him to a secluded place they had already found.

The underlings understood and immediately appeared quickly on Gu Han's left and right.

Seeing this, Gu Han did not shout; he smiled knowingly in his heart and let the two men take him away.

Very quickly, Gu Han was taken by the two men to a dilapidated, deserted courtyard.

At this time, Lai Three was already there waiting with the other underlings.

Seeing Gu Han, Lai Three smiled coldly.

"Kid, you're quite sensible!"

"In return for you being so cooperative, Brother Three will give you a quick death."

"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck for offending someone you shouldn't have."

As Lai Three's voice fell, the other underlings laughed, and they flattered Lai Three.

"Haha!"

"Brother Three is righteous!"

"Brother Three is benevolent!"

...

Gu Han watched them quietly.

At this moment, Lai Three saw that Gu Han was not making a fuss.

"Kid, Brother Three is very satisfied with your performance."

"It's a pity."

"May you be born into a good family in your next life!"

"Do it!"

"Be quick about it; considering how cooperative the kid is, let him feel less pain."

As Lai Three's voice fell, the two underlings beside him took out a small knife and walked up with a sinister smile.
