“Don’t look anymore, what’s the point of this thrash? Senior Brother will bring you to enjoy yourself.”
Yang Kai stopped in his tracks and turned around, walking straight up to Fang Tai and looking up at him, “Brother Fang, did you take the wrong medicine today?”
Fang Tai said, “This Fang is not ill, why should I take medicine?”
“If you’re not ill, why are you spouting nonsense and insulting me for no reason?”
Fang Tai was extremely surprised, “When did I insult you? Oh… you’re talking about that trash, not you. This Fang is referring to someone else, but if you take the initiative to take post, there’s nothing I can do.”
Yang Kai stared at him, Fang Tai’s eyes filled with ridicule.
Yang Kai nodded, “It seems Brother Fang is quite ill.”
Just as Fang Tai was about to say something, he saw a fist rapidly expanding in front of his eyes! Immediately after, his head buzzed as if he had been struck by a powerful force, causing him to fly backwards, his head spinning as he saw stars.
The woman next to Fang Tai was stunned as she stared at Yang Kai in a daze. In her vision, Yang Kai was still in a punching posture.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that this seemingly amiable Senior Brother would have such a fiery temper and attack someone without warning. Did he not know what the consequences would be?
In less than three breaths of time after Yang Kai’s punch, the women in the hall all used their movement techniques and rushed out of the door, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, there were a few Seven Skillful Land Disciples who were enjoying themselves here, looking over with great interest. How many years had it been since a servant dared to act in private? Today, however, they were actually able to enjoy a show.
On the other side, Fang Tai slowly got up, only to feel his mouth and nose become a bit sticky. Reaching out his hand, he wiped the blood off his face and glared at Yang Kai in disbelief, “You dare hit me?”
He was also struck dumb, never having expected Yang Kai to attack him. Otherwise, with his strength, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to defeat him in a single move. For a time, humiliation and anger welled up in his heart, causing his momentum to plummet.
“If you dare insult me, why wouldn’t I dare hit you?” Yang Kai sneered.
“Good!” Fang Tai shouted angrily as he kicked away the table and chairs blocking his way. Like an ancient beast, he rushed towards Yang Kai, his two fists the size of pots filling the air as they flew towards Yang Kai.
Fang Tai was also a newcomer who had just arrived to the Outer Universe, and his strength was about the same as Yang Kai’s, so this exchange was actually quite evenly matched.
A few Seven Skillful Land Disciples who were watching from the side cheered loudly.
However, the two of them had only fought for a dozen breaths of time before a group of people rushed in from the outside. The leader of this group had his hands behind his back as he swept his eyes left and right, narrowing his eyes as he shouted angrily, “Stop!”
Yang Kai and Fang Tai, who had been fighting to their heart’s content, simply ignored him and continued fighting.
“You’re revolting!” The leader shouted angrily, waving his hand as the Seven Skillful Land Disciples on both sides threw out ropes. These ropes were made from some unknown material and wrapped around Yang Kai and Fang Tai like spiritual snakes, instantly binding them up.
Yang Kai struggled for a moment but was unable to break free. On the contrary, the strength of the rope increased greatly, causing him to feel uncomfortable.
“You’re quite bold, actually daring to fight in private, don’t you know the rules of the Seven Skillful Land?"
After trapping the two of them, the leader walked over to Yang Kai and Fang Tai and looked at them coldly.
“Senior Brother…” Fang Tai also came back to his senses at this moment, mainly because he had been beaten up by Yang Kai just now, so he was a bit angry, otherwise he wouldn’t have dared to act so presumptuously. Knowing that this matter was a bit too big and that the slightest mistake could lead to him being consigned to eternal damnation, he immediately begged for mercy, “Senior Brother, this little brother has only been here for a few months and is still unfamiliar with the rules of the Seven Skillful Land. Could Senior Brother please consider this little brother’s first offense and spare me? This little brother is extremely grateful.”
“Hmph!” The leader coldly snorted, “Rules are rules, who cares if this is your first offense or not! After suffering a loss this time, you’ll know how to behave next time.”
Fang Tai became anxious, “Senior Brother, I’m innocent! This bastard hit me, so I had no choice but to fight back. If you don’t believe me, you can ask those Senior Brothers over there, they saw everything clearly.”
The leader stared at him coldly, “I only know that when I came in, you were fighting with this little brat! As for who attacked first, I have no interest in knowing, take them all away!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. Fang Tai and Yang Kai, who were tied up like dumplings, were also being held back. Fang Tai tried to explain himself, but all he received was a shout from a nearby disciple. Seeing this, Yang Kai also gave up on arguing.
On the second floor, Old Fang’s face was pale as he muttered, “Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no…”
He had heard the commotion downstairs clearly. When Yang Kai had fought with Fang Tai, he had hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out, but he had been a step too late. He had simply watched as Yang Kai was taken away, unable to save him.
The one who took Yang Kai away was a patrol team from the Seven Skill Land's Market. As a servant, he couldn’t say anything in front of them. After thinking about it, the only person who could save Yang Kai at this time was Zhou Zheng. As the manager of the Fruit Garden and also an Open Heaven Stage cultivator, if he was willing to help, he should be able to help.
Having mentally prepared himself for a massive loss of blood, Old Fang didn’t even have time to tidy up his clothes before rushing to the Fire Spiritual Land.
Inside a simple and crude cell, Yang Kai and Fang Tai were locked inside, each occupying a corner of the cell.
This prison cell was located in the middle of the market, deep underground. It was casually built with some wood, and if Yang Kai wanted to, he could easily escape.
However, neither he nor Fang Tai had the courage to do so. The disciples of the Seven Skillful Land were guarding outside, so what if they broke out of the prison? They would still be tied up.
As such, even though no one was looking after them right now, and even the shackles on their bodies had been released, the two of them only occupied a corner each, minding their own business.
Accompanying Old Fang to a brothel and then being imprisoned, Yang Kai was somewhat speechless.
However, today’s matter made him feel a little strange. Although Fang Tai had deliberately drawn a line between him, because he had offended Zhou Zheng, there was no need to offend him for no reason, right? Today, Fang Tai’s actions seemed to be deliberately provoking him.
But what benefits would he gain from doing this? The end result would be the same as him being imprisoned here. He didn’t know what kind of punishment he would receive.
Previously, he had heard Old Fang say that the Seven Skillful Land's punishment for misbehaving servants was quite harsh, and he might be imprisoned for three years or more.
If he was really locked up for such a long time, he would have suffered a great loss. Once he was locked up here, his wealth would be cut off and he would lose countless Open Heaven Pills.
Thinking up to this point, looking at Fang Tai, who was standing next to him, he became even more annoyed. Looking over coldly, this guy was staring towards a certain direction with a look of anticipation.
Yang Kai frowned slightly, not knowing what he was expecting.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Fang Tai, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately stood up while Yang Kai also listened attentively.
A moment later, one of them arrived in front of the cell and stared at the two people inside with a gloomy expression.
“Manager!” Fang Tai called out excitedly.
“Manager Zhou!” Yang Kai cupped his fists slightly. Although his relationship with Zhou Zheng wasn’t very good, since he had the title of Manager, he still had to show proper etiquette to avoid being caught red-handed.
“The two of you really gave the Fire Spiritual Land bad face!” Zhou Zheng grit his teeth and pointed at the two people in the cell, a look of disappointment appearing on his face, “You two dare to fight in the marketplace. You’re both amazing, you’re too amazing.”
Fang Tai said awkwardly, “It’s just a misunderstanding, Sir Manager. Yang Kai and I weren’t fighting each other, it was just a moment of curiosity. We were just sparring, but who knew something like this would happen.” As he spoke, he turned his head and shot Yang Kai a fierce look. Yang Kai turned his head and pretended not to see anything.
“You’ve already been captured by the patrol team, yet you still dare to say there’s a misunderstanding!” Zhou Zheng shouted angrily, “And the wound on your eye, do you think I’m blind?”
Fang Tai stretched out his hand to cover the eye that Yang Kai had just punched, not saying a word…
Zhou Zheng snorted, “Do you know what kind of punishment a servant will receive for fighting in private?”
Fang Tai asked nervously, “What punishment?”
“Three to a hundred years of imprisonment!” Zhou Zheng sneered, “Do you want three years or a hundred years?”
Fang Tai was shocked and begged, “Sir Manager, save me!”
Zhou Zheng said, “However, I happen to know the patrol captain who captured you, so I can still speak with him. Since you’re all newcomers and have committed a first offense, I’ll let this matter rest. If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely punish you!”
Let the matter rest? Yang Kai was stunned when he heard this. He had thought that he would be locked up for a few years and had already mentally prepared himself.
Fang Tai, on the other hand, was overjoyed and quickly cupped his fists, “Many thanks, Manager Zhou. This Fang will remember Manager's great kindness and will never forget it!”
Zhou Zheng didn’t comment, instead opening the cell door and saying, “Come out, what are you waiting for inside?”
Fang Tai and Yang Kai walked out one after another.
Zhou Zheng coldly snorted, “If it weren’t for the event at the fruit garden today, this King wouldn’t have bothered with your lives!”
Fang Tai asked, “Is it the Chief Manager’s inspection?” This wasn’t a secret, and the servants in the servants’ house had all heard about it through different channels.
“That’s right, the Chief Manager should have arrived at the Fruit Garden by now. The two of you should hurry over. If the Chief Manager inspects your territory, you’d better be careful. If anything goes wrong, no one can protect you.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Fang Tai quickly nodded.
Only then did Yang Kai remember that the so-called Chief Manager was going to inspect the Fire Spiritual Land’s gardens today. The entire Fire Spiritual Land had been busy just for today.
However, this had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t need to worry too much about it. All he needed to do was do his best.
