"Huh?"

Looking back in the direction of the sound, I could see it was Feng Huang's brother, Silver Fox, who had just greeted me.

He'd been playing hard to get just yesterday, and today he was already calling me brother-in-law.

Puzzled, Xu Fan couldn't help but give the guy a few more glances.

Interesting...

Noticing the dark circles under his eyes, Xu Fan guessed that he hadn't slept all night, probably scheming up something nasty.

"What's up? Instead of lying in bed, why did you run out here?"

Without exposing him, Xu Fan looked at Silver Fox as if nothing was out of the ordinary and asked a question.

"I need to step out for a bit, in case my sister comes, remember to greet her for me."

"Go ahead."

Xu Fan showed little interest in his leaving, which let Silver Fox breathe a sigh of relief.

Not daring to delay any longer, he headed straight for the door.

His sole reason for going out was to take revenge on Xu Fan.

Nursing his injuries, he knew he couldn't reclaim his honor alone, so Silver Fox decided to seek the help of someone else.

After descending the stairs, he hailed a cab and rushed to his destination.

In nearly half an hour, Silver Fox arrived in front of a villa.

After putting on the mask he carried with him, he barged straight into the villa.

"You! Who are you!"

Despite nursing injuries, Silver Fox was still a master of the Innate Realm. The doormen couldn't stop him, and he forced his way in unarmed.

"Tell Ye Cheng that Silver Fox wants to see him."

Giving the approaching bodyguards a dismissive glance, Silver Fox stood with his hands behind his back and issued a command.

"This..."

It was known that Ye Cheng had come to Shanghai just a few days ago for a charity event. This guy not only knew about the young master's whereabouts but also asked to see him by name, clearly indicating he knew the young master.

The bodyguards looked at him cautiously for a few moments, then immediately proceeded inside the villa to report.

"Silver... Mr. Silver Fox, how... how come you're here?"

Soon after, a disheveled Ye Cheng hurriedly rushed out from inside the villa.

"Take me inside."

Silver Fox didn't show Ye Cheng the slightest cordiality. Seeing Ye Cheng's fawning behavior, he walked into the villa.

His acquaintance with Ye Cheng was not a pleasant memory.

Not long ago, Silver Fox received a mission from this person.

Ye Cheng wanted him to capture a master alive.

He thought it was just a personal feud, but who could have imagined that this guy intended to use the captured master for Corpse Refinement!

Corpse Refinement is one of Miaojiang's unconventional techniques and is considered equally notorious as Gu Art.

Among them, the technique of refining a living corpse is the most brutal!

Through a secret technique, a martial artist's Divine Sense is destroyed, turning them into a living corpse that obeys only its master's commands!

Once the technique is complete, the martial artist, now a living corpse, not only has increased strength but is unafraid of pain and extraordinarily savage!

However, throughout the process of becoming a living corpse, the martial artist endures unbearable torment.

If it weren't for Silver Fox's timely intervention, that master would have been tortured mercilessly and turned into a living corpse by Ye Cheng!

"Ye Cheng, do you know why I've come to find you?"

Entering the villa under Ye Cheng's guidance, Silver Fox looked at him coldly and asked.

He wasn't looking to turn Xu Fan into a living corpse.

After all, the man was his sister's friend, not to mention Silver Fox had once owed Xu Fan his life.

His visit to Ye Cheng was merely to obtain some Gu insects, to teach Xu Fan a lesson.

"Aiyo, Mr. Silver Fox, I haven't done anything bad recently, and not only that, but I've also donated to homeless children!"

"At yesterday's charity event, I... I donated a whole ninety million!"

Remembering the Mysterious Yellow Blade in Silver Fox's hand and having been humbled once, Ye Cheng dared not show off in his presence.

All he wanted now was to appear as an obedient child.

"Stop giving me that act, as if I don't know about the things you've done."

Impatiently huffing, Silver Fox directly asked.

"I'm asking you, have you ever refined a Gu insect?"

"Er... um..."

Feeling his heart pounding at the look in Silver Fox's eyes, Ye Cheng felt his heart pound wildly.

If he nodded, wouldn't that be admitting he refined Gu insects to harm others?

"If you dare say 'no,' I will have your head fall to the ground."

"Yes, yes, yes! I have! I have!"

Death for yes and death for no, Ye Cheng had no choice but to straightforwardly admit the truth.

Thinking that Silver Fox would draw his blade after hearing his confession, Ye Cheng was so scared that he closed his eyes.

"Hmm?"

But several seconds went by without Silver Fox making a move, Ye Cheng boldly opened his eyes.

"Silver Fox sir, what exactly do you want to do..."

In this world, there's nothing more uncomfortable than waiting for death.

"Lend me the Gu insects you've refined."

"What... what?"

Upon hearing Silver Fox's command, Ye Cheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

So he had come not to kill him?

"With your cultivation level, why would you need my Gu insects..."

Ye Cheng forced a smile as he spoke, as a master of the Innate Realm like Silver Fox didn't need Gu insects to fight enemies, right?

Not to mention, Gu insects that he himself had refined.

Wouldn't it be over with just a slice of his blade?

"Are you going to give them to me or not?"

Before he could figure it out, he heard Silver Fox's tone turn colder.

Ye Cheng shivered.

"I'll give them! Isn't it okay if I give them…"

Not daring to dawdle, Ye Cheng quickly fetched the Gu insects he had refined for Silver Fox.

Compared to others who practiced Gu refinement, Ye Cheng had a natural advantage.

The Ye Family's assets and energy meant there was almost no poison-insect material he couldn't find.

The materials he used were several times better than the average!

He used this method to compensate for his insufficient cultivation level, strengthening the power of his Gu insects.

"This is it."

Now handing over a small jar to Silver Fox, Ye Cheng did so with great respect.

Contained inside was the Heart-severing Gu he had refined.

Once the Heart-severing Gu insect was placed within a host, it would feed on the host's heart blood and reside within the body, causing the host to die from a severed heart within seven days!

"Give me the antidote."

After Ye Cheng introduced it, Silver Fox immediately asked for the antidote.

He only wanted the Gu insect to teach Xu Fan a lesson, not to take Xu Fan's life.

"This…"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng frowned.

Seemingly having thought of something, Ye Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at Silver Fox.

"Eh eh, fine, I'll go get it for you right away!"

After a moment of thought, Ye Cheng dashed off to one side and quickly returned with a small bottle for Silver Fox.

"Keep it safe, this is the antidote."

With that, the necessary preparations were done, and he could return to settle past grievances!

Silver Fox couldn't be bothered with Ye Cheng on the side, took the antidote, and headed straight for the door.
