Kapitel 88: Chapter 88: Fiancee
In the cave dwelling, the lights were bright, filled with noise. Yang Shan sat on the edge of the bed, proudly recounting his brother's childhood exploits. "Let me tell you, I knew back then that my brother would surely achieve greatness and become outstanding. At eight years old, he not only peeked at Widow Wang from the village but also slept with her beautiful daughter. The mother and daughter didn't even utter a word of complaint. The men in the village envied him, admiring my brother as if he were a hero."
Four young men in work clothes surrounded him, eagerly agreeing. "Brother Wen is truly amazing, no doubt about it!"
"Absolutely."
"Brother Wen is a natural martial arts genius; how can we ordinary folks compare?"
Listening to their words, Yang Shan blushed and continued boasting about his brother's protective nature. "Let me tell you, my brother has always been exceptionally fond of me. If anyone dared to bully me, he would immediately grab a knife and fight for me, regardless of their status. He wouldn't hesitate, just a swift strike!"
The four workers immediately smiled ingratiatingly. "Brother Wen is mighty, Brother Wen is domineering!"
"Now that Brother Wen has become an outer disciple of the Demon Subduing Sect, once he masters his supernatural powers, you, Shan Ge( Big Brother), can walk anywhere without fear. Anyone who dares to offend you, Brother Wen can just point a finger and poke them to death!"
"Yes, yes, poke them to death! I bet when Brother Wen blinks, he could turn them to dust!"
Yang Shan felt immensely proud, though he modestly said, "Look at what you're saying. I'm not a crab; why should I walk arrogantly? Even though my brother protects me, and no one dares to bully me, I can't be content with that. In the future, I will surely become outstanding like my brother!"
"Shan Ge has lofty ideals, admirable!"
"Shan Ge cares for the world, impressive!"
"Shan Ge is handsome..."
Seeing their excessive flattery, Yang Shan waved his hand, "Alright, it's getting late. Go fetch water, take a bath, wash your feet, and then sleep. We have tasks tomorrow."
The four workers immediately stood up, eager to help him fetch water.
Yang Shan glanced at the outermost bed, frowned, and asked, "Why hasn't Xiao Yuan returned yet?"
One worker stepped forward, "Shan Ge, a new handyman arrived today, specifically assigned to clean the prison cells. When I returned, I heard the steward instructing Xiao Yuan to find that new guy."
Yang Shan, somewhat displeased, said, "So, that guy is definitely coming to stay in our cave. It's already crowded here; having one more person will be even more annoying."
The worker shrugged helplessly, "No choice, it's a direct order from the steward."
Yang Shan coldly snorted, saying, "Forget it, no need for you to fetch water. Let's wait until that kid comes back. Since there's a new one, you can take a break. From now on, Xiao Yuan and the newcomer will be responsible for fetching footwashing water, and they can wash our clothes and pants too."
The four workers couldn't contain their joy, thanking Yang Shan for his understanding.
"By the way, Shan Ge, when the new guy comes in, should we give him a warning? He might not know how formidable you are and might not be convinced."
One worker suggested with a grin. The other three excitedly agreed, saying, "Exactly, Shan Ge should show some strength. Let that guy know who's in charge, so he doesn't think too highly of himself."
Yang Shan nodded with a sly smile, "Follow your plan. When he comes in later, make him kneel and kowtow to us, then order him to fetch footwashing water and personally wash our feet."
The four workers cheered up, sitting on the bed, taking off their shoes and socks, saying, "Later, make that guy wash our smelly socks too. Having a newcomer is great!"
Outside the cave, Xiao Yuan was bringing back Yan Yuchen.
Throughout the journey, Xiao Yuan kept advising him to be careful when they return to the cave. Whatever happens, he should endure it, or those people might take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Yan Yuchen smiled and nodded without saying a word. With his keen hearing, he had already heard the conversation inside the cave from a distance. Since they had decided to bully him, what use was there in enduring?
"Except for my parents and little sister, who dares to ask me to wash their feet? I'll make them not even recognize themselves!"
Yan Yuchen coldly chuckled to himself.
As they entered the cave, the four workers immediately smiled with expressions full of mockery and excitement.
Yang Shan, with a proud expression, raised his chin, about to order Yan Yuchen to kneel, but to his surprise, Yan Yuchen pointed at him and spoke first, "You, come over and help this young master take off his shoes."
Silence filled the cave.
Yang Shan's face showed bewilderment, the four workers, and even Xiao Yuan, were equally stunned.
Thinking he misheard, Yang Shan pointed at himself, tremblingly asking, "You... What did you just say?"
Yan Yuchen sat down casually on an empty bed, looked at him coldly, pointed at his own feet, and said, "I told you to come over and help me take off my shoes! Are you deaf?"
Then he snorted, "After taking off my shoes, go fetch footwashing water and kneel in front of me to wash my feet. Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"
The whole cave of workers was dumbfounded when Yan Yuchen issued that command.
Yang Shan, shaking with rage, pointed at him and stammered, "You... you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Yuchen suddenly stood up, walked briskly to him, and delivered a powerful kick to his face, sending him flying!
"Bang!" He crashed heavily onto the ground.
Completely disoriented by this unexpected turn of events, Yang Shan, holding his bleeding nose, screamed hysterically at the four bewildered workers and Xiao Yuan, "Are you all idiots? Attack! Kill him!"
The four workers hesitated for a moment, then rolled up their sleeves, ready to surround Yan Yuchen.
Yan Yuchen, hands behind his back, stood his ground, showing no intention to retreat. Instead, he looked disdainfully at them and started talking nonsense, "What's wrong? It seems like you're eager to be reincarnated. Do you know who brought me up the mountain? Have you heard of the inner disciple Zhou Zhiqi? She's my fiancee, specifically sent by the family to bring me to the Demon Subduing Sect for cultivation. Though I'm starting from the bottom as a handyman, with just a word from me, my fiancee will come and kill you immediately. Do you believe it?"
Yan Yuchen raised his head arrogantly, exuding an air of dominance.
This statement shocked the four workers, their faces turning pale with fear.
"Nonsense! He's talking nonsense! How could Zhou Zhiqi, a prestigious disciple, be the fiancee of this lowly handyman?"
Though Yang Shan was also alarmed, he couldn't bring himself to believe it.
Just as he finished speaking, one worker, trembling, whispered, "Shan... Shan Ge, I'm afraid it's true. I saw Sister Zhou bringing him here today. He didn't look like a regular handyman; he not only showed no fear of Sister Zhou but even joked with her..."
As these words were uttered, Yang Shan's face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble.
So what if his brother was an outer disciple? A casual word from an inner disciple could render even the most prominent outer disciple worthless.
Hearing this handyman's revelation, the other three workers immediately "plopped" and knelt on the ground.
It wasn't about wanting to kneel; their legs were shaking uncontrollably.
This revelation was too shocking!
Yan Yuchen returned to his seat on the bed, looking at Yang Shan, whose legs were trembling, and said indifferently, "Enough, stop dawdling. Come and help me take off my shoes. I haven't changed my socks for a month. Remember to wash my smelly socks later."
The young man named Xiao Yuan, standing on the side, had an expression of utter disbelief.
