Xie Jinnian closed his eyes to rest, as if he didn’t know that someone had entered.

Xiahou Zheng looked down at him and mocked, “You eat, drink, and sleep well.”

With that, he turned to look at the jailer at the side. “Is this how you serve Second Young Master?”

The jailer lowered his head deeply. “Um… Second Young Master’s body can’t take it anymore, and the City Lord said that he wanted to keep him alive. We… are afraid that we will torture him to death if we’re not careful.”

Second Young Master was the only one among the adopted sons who did not practice martial arts. The dungeon of the City Lord Manor was a heavy punishment. Any one of them could kill Second Young Master.

The jailer really did not dare.

Xiahou Zheng snorted and said, “Back down first!”

“Yes.”

The jailer withdrew with relief.

This cell was where Xiahou Zheng had been. The difference was that Xiahou Zheng had been much more miserable than Xie Jinnian.

Xiahou Zheng said sarcastically, “You colluded with Yun Lin and boarded the wrong ship. Have you ever thought that you would end up like this one day? Now, it’s my turn to see you make a fool of yourself.”

Xie Jinnian calmly opened his eyes. Under his disheveled appearance, there was no surrender or panic in his eyes.

“Then, does Big Brother think it’s good?”

Xiahou Zheng looked at this face that was even more outstanding than his brothers and his calm eyes. He narrowed his eyes and kicked him!

Xie Jinnian was kicked to the ground.

The jailer hurriedly said, “Eldest Young Master! No! If he dies and the City Lord blames us…”

Xiahou Zheng said coldly, “If my granduncle wants to pursue the matter, I’ll bear it alone!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The jailers looked at each other. They wanted to dissuade him, but they did not dare to say anything.

Xie Jinnian calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat up in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.

Not only did this not relieve Xiahou Zheng’s anger, but he also felt like he had punched cotton.

Xiahou Zheng was even angrier. “What are you being arrogant for? Do you really think the Hundred Flowers Palace can save you? Hmph, the Hundred Flowers Palace can’t even protect itself. Just wait to die obediently!”

Xie Jinnian said, “Since I’m going to die sooner or later, why are you so anxious?”

Xiahou Zheng clenched his fists. “Where is the City Lord Seal?”

Xie Jinnian glanced at him calmly. “So you haven’t obtained the City Lord Seal.”

Xiahou Zheng said coldly, “Don’t be smug. With or without the City Lord Seal, Granduncle will rule the entire island sooner or later! If you know what’s good for you, don’t pretend to be crazy here. Tell me the whereabouts of the City Lord Seal. Perhaps I can give you a quick death! Otherwise… just because they don’t dare to touch you doesn’t mean that I don’t dare to either.”

Xie Jinnian looked at him coldly.

Xiahou Zheng took out the cold dagger and gently patted his handsome face with the blade. “I’ll cut off your flesh bit by bit. I’ll cook it and feed it to you.”

A cold glint flashed across Xie Jinnian’s eyes.

Xiahou Zheng sneered. “Have you thought about it?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Xie Jinnian turned around and said coldly, “The City Lord’s seal is in the Assassin Alliance. If you want it, go get it yourself!”

Xiahou Zheng frowned. “How can the City Lord Seal be in the Assassin Alliance?”

Xie Jinnian said, “Other than the Assassin Alliance, where else the City Lord Seal be guarded?”

Xiahou Zheng was silent.

The Assassin Alliance was the head of the four major sects and the strongest organization on the island. Although they had lost miserably in this martial arts competition, in terms of the average strength of their disciples, the Assassin Alliance far exceeded the various large sects.

In addition, the Assassin Alliance was also the most stubborn sect on the island. At least the Hundred Flowers Palace had a traitor in the form of Yun Xue.

As for the Assassin Alliance, Xiahou Yi secretly tried many times but could not pull anyone into his camp.

This was not because Jiang Guanchao was very loyal to Xiahou Qing, but because this person disdained to participate in the battle on the island and only wanted to be the number one in the world.

If Xiahou Qing personally gave the order, he would obey. If he didn’t, he was happy to play dumb .

Godfather should also understand this. Why would he entrust the City Lord Seal to him?

Xiahou Zheng looked at Xie Jinnian skeptically. “You’re lying.”

Xie Jinnian said indifferently, “Foster father knew about Granduncle’s ambition long ago. Before he went to see Granduncle, he held back. He first got someone to send the City Lord Seal to the Assassin Alliance. At the same time, he also sent an heir’s document. He was afraid that something would happen to him.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Xiahou Zheng said excitedly, “The heir is—”

Xie Jinnian said, “Of course not you, nor me.”

Xiahou Zheng clenched his fists. Yun Lin!

He gritted his teeth. “Then why is the Assassin Alliance indifferent to Granduncle becoming the City Lord?”

Xie Jinnian said without changing his expression, “Do you think Foster Father is so stupid? If the Assassin Alliance knows, it won’t be long before you know. The box is sealed. The Assassin Alliance doesn’t know what Foster Father asked them to keep for him. I guess Foster Father hasn’t told Yun Lin yet.”

Xiahou Zheng already believed most of it. “You mean… Yun Lin doesn’t know about this either?”

Xie Jinnian chuckled. “If he knew, would it be your turn to occupy the City Lord Manor?”

This story was too seamless. In fact, everything that could not be understood was explained reasonably.

However, Xiahou Zheng still retained his last trace of suspicion.

Xie Jinnian said casually, “Do you suspect that I’m boldly lying to you, or are you not confident in your methods of extorting a confession?”

“Hmph.”

Xiahou Zheng snorted coldly. “The price of lying will be a hundred times worse than being cut into pieces!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Ye Xun, who was locked in the next cell, came over and held the wooden board of the cell door with both hands. He whispered, “Young Master, will they believe you?”

Xie Jinnian said, “Fifty-fifty.”

Ye Xun said worriedly, “But as long as they send someone to the Assassin Alliance, it will all be revealed.”

“Well, we can still live for two more days.”

Xie Jinnian looked at the moonlight shining in from the hole in the wall.

Some people were born without caring about their lives, while some people had already used all their strength just to survive.

Ye Xun looked at such a young master and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

The City Lord had adopted many sons, but only four remained.

For Thousand Mountain Island, which advocated martial strength, the hardships Young Master had suffered in the City Lord Manor all these years were unimaginable.

Xiahou Zheng went to Xiahou Yi’s courtyard and relayed his second brother’s words truthfully.

He didn’t add fuel to the fire. After all, Xie Jinnian’s story was too watertight. There was no room for Xiahou Zheng to show off.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

To Xiahou Yi, it was not difficult to go to the Assassin Alliance to investigate.

If Xiahou Jin was lying, he would punish him properly later.

If Xie Jinnian was right, they would take back the City Lord Token.

Naturally, snatching things in the Assassin Alliance… involved some level of difficulty.

Xiahou Zheng thought for a moment and said, “Granduncle, I have an idea. Since it’s something left for Yun Lin, as long as I pretend to be Yun Lin and get it, won’t it be easy?”

Xiahou Yi said, “No.”

“Why?”

Xiahou Zheng did not understand.

Xiahou Yi said, “Jiang Guanchao and Wei Xu are mortal enemies. Yun Lin has helped Wei Xu many times, so Jiang Guanchao might not buy it.”

“Then what should we do?” Xiahou Zheng asked.

Xiahou Yi said meaningfully, “Let Steward Chang go.”
