Wang Keâs Revered Teacher was too imposing to persuade.
Zhang Zhengdao was excitedly leading the way. Soon, the three of them arrived at Tong Anâanâs door.
âAhh, I canât take it anymore!â
âPut your back into it!â
âDid you skip lunch? Use all your strength! â
The voices inside were still as intense as before.
It was music to Zhang Zhengdaoâs ears, while Wang Ke felt dazed; the formerâs previous retelling added to the obscenity, raising it to further heights.
âRevered Teacher, itâs best we donât go in!â Wang Ke pulled at Chen Tianyuan.
Chen Tianyuan kicked the door open right away.
Zhang Zhengdao jumped right in, eager to be the first to enjoy the thrill; but his face froze when he saw what was actually happeningâ
The eleven people inside were fully dressed, nothing like he originally thought.
Wang Ke felt so ashamed that he almost looked inside through the gaps between his fingers. But then he saw the collapsed tables, chairs, the bed, and sparkling electric arcs. Each person was holding a long whip-like artifact, as they were channeling energy into the bathroomâs water pipes.
Itâs nothing like what Zhang Zhengdao said!
Wang Ke was baffled. âAre you guys unclogging the pipes? Trouble with the toilet?â
Didnât Zhang Zhengdao say they were doing obscene things? How is this obscene? Arenât they all quite normal?
Besides, you can ask the staff for help if the toilet is clogged. You are guests! Why are you trying to fix it yourselves?
Why are the ten baldies working this hard?
Why? Refusing to give up? You didnât want to trouble my staff, so you took it upon yourselves to do the dirty job? Damn, such well-cultured men! They deserve awards!
âZhang Zhengdao, how dare you lie to me!â Wang Ke stared at Zhang Zhengdao.
âI⌠I⌠Theyâre notâŚ!â Zhang Zhengdao was just as bewildered.
They still have their clothes on! Why were they moaning so sensually? Itâs totally different from what I imagined! Why!
Wang Ke shot Zhang Zhengdao a fierce stare. Damn it, you perverted beast! They were just trying to clear the water pipe. Your imagination runs wild indeed!
Wang Keâs stern judgment was understandable. The key thing was that the lady in pink was still wearing the hood and they had never seen the ten bald men before. Who would have thought they were demons?
The door being forcefully opened gave the eleven demons a fright; they stopped everything they were doing and looked toward the entrance.
Chen Tianyuan? The Heavenly Wolf Sect Lord⌠an Astral Infant Stage cultivator?
Also, shouldnât Wang Ke be currently tied up in his office due to our actions? How did he get here? Did Chen Tianyuan rescue him?
The group of eleven were finding trouble breathing. Chapter Lord Tong, didnât you say it was a safe bet? Didnât you promise that the plan would be flawless? How did the Heavenly Wolf Sect Lord find us here? How can this be safe? How? What should we do?
âWe were exposed? Oh, sh*t!â The eleven panicked.
But their reaction puzzled Chen Tianyuan.
Just when Wang Ke was about to reprimand Zhang Zhengdao, he realized that something was wrong with the pipe and frowned. âThatâs not right. Ahh, if you are trying to unblock the piping, it should be the down-flow pipe. Youâre tinkering with the pipe going up⌠What is it that youâre trying to unblock?â
Wang Keâs questioning shouldnât have been a big deal. After all, how could a bunch of cultivators understand the towerâs structure? It would be perfectly normal for them to mistake one pipe for another.
Still, the innocent question became the straw that broke the camelâs back.
âTheyâre onto us! Run!â â
All eleven of them cried out in shock. They turned toward the window, ready to make their escape.
Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao thought it was a misunderstanding, so they werenât interested in pursuing them. But Chen Tianyuan didnât think that way; he was still unable to make heads or tails about the situation, so he remained vigilant.
Chen Tianyuan transformed into a stream of light and charged into the room when he saw them about to flee.
âBooom, booom! BooooomâŚâŚ!â â
Chen Tianyuan was well-prepared so he was decisive as he attacked inside the narrow room. Tong Anâan and his men scurried around but couldnât escape. All the demons were under control, immobilized on the floor after a round of explosive noises.
âRevered Teacher, there might be some misunderstanding!â Wang Ke tried to explain.
These are big customers! They were beaten up because of Zhang Zhengdaoâs blunder; this can reflect poorly on my business record!
Alas, it was too late for Wang Ke to persuade Chen Tianyuan; the latter flipped back the pink ladyâs hood.
âTong Anâan?â Chen Tianyuan was taken by surprise.
âUhh?â Wang Ke was stunned.
âBlarrrghh!â Tong Anâan regurgitated the tooth broken by Chen Tianyuan.
âWang Ke, youâre really good⌠You saw through our disguise despite our efforts? Humph. No wonder the Parlor Lord wants you dead!â Tong Anâan glared at Wang Ke.
The ten bald men next to him had bleak expressions while under Chen Tianyuanâs suppression.
âChapter Lord, Wang Ke is more difficult to deal with than we imagined!â one of the bald men said in despair.
âI regret it now! I should have gone all out! I should have channeled all my energy into the Lightning Whips!â another bald man said.
And the rest chimed in. Chen Tianyuan walked to the bathroom and summoned the eleven Lightning Whips into his hands.
âThe Third Parlor Lordâs artifacts? The Lightning Whips?â Chen Tianyuan was astonished.
âRevered Teacher, this isâŚ!â Wang Ke was still in a daze.
What is happening? We came just to crack down on the se* trade. How is it that we caught some demons?
âWang Ke, youâve made great contributions today. Well done. Hall Lord Mo and the others spent nine months searching for Tong Anâan, but you did it with an opening ceremony. Well done! Donât worry, no one can snatch your merit. The Lightning Whips shall be your reward! Here, these are for you!â Chen Tianyuan handed the Lightning Whips over to Wang Ke.
Wang Ke: ââŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ.!â
âThank you, Revered Teacher!â Wang Ke nodded, still confused.
Going after se* traffickers is rewarded with enchanted artifacts?
âOh yes, the Lightning Whips have been tempered with lightning. They contain a vast reserve of lightning power and require a unique container to keep them,â Chen Tianyuan explained.
MeanwhileâZhang Zhengdao carried over the box he had mistaken and said, âThis should be the container, right? â
âThatâs correct!â Chen Tianyuan received the case and placed the Lightning Whips inside, then gave it to Wang Ke.
Wang Ke was still feeling off after receiving his prize.
âWang Ke, I also participated in capturing the demons. The case in your handâŚ!â Zhang Zhengdao said greedily.
But Wang Ke immediately stored the box in his storage bangle. âI will settle you later, humph!â Wang Ke said with a stare.
âWhat has it got to do with me? The noises were misleading. Iâm innocent! Iâm pure-minded!â Zhang Zhengdao defended himself anxiously.
Wang Ke ignored him. Meanwhile, Chen Tianyuan tied the demons up with a rope and dragged them out of the room.
âI will send these demons to West Wolf Hall first! Wang Ke, request aid from any disciple if you find more demons! Just tell them I gave the order!â Chen Tianyuan instructed.
âUnderstood!â Wang Ke nodded.
Tong Anâan then roared at Wang Ke furiously, âWang Ke, I will never let you off! Even if I become a ghost, I will haunt you forever!â
Unfortunately, his hateful words didnât go through because Chen Tianyuan had sealed his voice as he took him away.
They moved elsewhere, leaving a messy room behind.
âZhang Zhengdao, where was the obscenity you mentioned?â said Wang Ke with a stare.
âIâŚ! Just nowâŚ!â Zhang Zhengdao was lost for words.
Thatâs not what I heard! How did everything become like this after the door was opened? Whereâs my thrilling scene? A bunch of demons⌠Why moan like that when they were just unclogging some pipes? Iâm innocent!
