Hearing the Night Emperor's praise for Hao Jian, Liang Jiankun also appeared very surprised, and at the same time, a solemn expression swept over his eyes."If you were to fight him, what would your chances of winning be?" Liang Jiankun was eager to know just how strong Hao Jian had become. "If it were just a normal sparring match, perhaps thirty percent," the Night Emperor said calmly. "And if it were a fight to the death?" Liang Jiankun asked again. "Less than ten percent," the Night Emperor gave his answer. After witnessing Hao Jian's strength, the Night Emperor had also self-evaluated, wanting to deny that Hao Jian was superior, but ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to be so shameless. "Less than ten percent?" Liang Jiankun was incredibly surprised and said, "You ranked tenth in the Mercenary Rankings, and you have less than a ten percent chance of winning against him, how terrifying must his strength be?" "I think he must be like the King of Mercenary, the only one who could defeat him is probably the King of Mercenary himself," the Night Emperor said with a bitter smile, at least he didn't dare boast he could win against Hao Jian. Liang Jiankun fell silent, his expression frozen. After a long while, he finally let out a sigh, "It seems I have no choice but to kill him." Such a threat must be eliminated as soon as possible! "Killing him will not be easy," the Night Emperor reminded, Hao Jian was not a simple matter, killing him would probably require dozens, or even more Martial Artists of the same level. "Indeed not easy, but he has made too many enemies, we're not the only ones who want him dead," Liang Jiankun started to chuckle coldly. "When the time comes, naturally there will be others who will strike with us!" To kill Hao Jian with Liang Jiankun's personal power indeed would be somewhat difficult, but the problem was that he wasn't the only one who wanted Hao Jian dead, there were also others like Kong Xiaozhen. No matter how formidable Hao Jian was, an individual's power is ultimately limited, and he wouldn't be able to confront so many people at the same time. With that, the Night Emperor did not speak anymore. He understood Liang Jiankun and knew just how clever he was. Liang Jiankun still wanting to kill Hao Jian after hearing him out meant that he must have a foolproof plan. "Young Master, Yu Zhixun requests an audience," just then, a subordinate came to report. "Let him in," Liang Jiankun nodded, and then said to the Night Emperor, "Please step aside for a moment." The Night Emperor didn't speak, but his figure disappeared from the spot immediately. Before long, Yu Zhixun appeared before Liang Jiankun, respectfully saying, "Young Master." Indeed, Yu Zhixun was Liang Jiankun's dog, and he had been Liang Jiankun's dog for quite some years now. "Yu Zhixun, you haven't come to see me for a while," Liang Jiankun said with a hint of reproach. "I've been busy, haha," Yu Zhixun explained with a laugh. "Busy but you still have time to come see me?" Liang Jiankun asked with a sly smile, knowing all along that Yu Zhixun never came without a reason. Yu Zhixun bit his lip and finally mustered the courage to speak, "Young Master, actually, I've come to ask you for a favor." "Oh? Let's hear it," Liang Jiankun said with interest. "I want to ask you to help me get rid of someone named Hao Jian," Yu Zhixun said outright, his hatred for Hao Jian was bone-deep, gnashing his teeth even in his dreams. "Hao Jian?" Liang Jiankun was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Yu Zhixun had also had a conflict with Hao Jian. "Young Master knows him?" Yu Zhixun was also taken aback. "Far from just knowing him, we are mortal enemies," Liang Jiankun answered with a smile. "Really?" Yu Zhixun's face showed wild joy. In that case, even if he didn't say anything, Liang Jiankun would eliminate him as well. "What's your relationship with him, and why do you want to get rid of him?" Liang Jiankun asked Yu Zhixun. "I don't have much of a relationship with him; it's my older brother who is on good terms with him. It's precisely because of this that I want to get rid of him. That old fogey in my family holds that kid in high regard. If things continue to develop this way, I'm worried that my position as the Family Head might be snatched away by that kid," Yu Zhixun said. Given the old man's fondness for Hao Jian, he would definitely lean more towards the Yu Xiatang family.

Once they make contact, I fear I will no longer have any status in the family," Yu Zhixun said angrily. "What do you want me to do?" Liang Jiankun asked. "I hope the Young Master can come home with me on that day to give that kid a lesson," Yu Zhixun said. If Liang Jiankun was willing to go home with him, he could use Liang Jiankun's influence. Then, perhaps the old man would see him in a new light, knowing Liang Jiankun was his backer. "Go back, I have agreed to your request," Liang Jiankun said indifferently. He wouldn't pass up any chance to cause trouble for Hao Jian. "Thank you so much, Young Master." Yu Zhixun was overjoyed, bowing repeatedly before finally leaving reluctantly. Liang Jiankun looked out the window, a hint of a smile on his lips as he murmured to himself, "The wind has started."

After a month of recovery, Yu Qianchong had almost completely healed. Wearing a red Tang suit symbolizing celebration, he was seated at the most important spot at the feast, looking vigorous. "Elder." Hao Jian nodded to Yu Qianchong with a smile. Yu Qianchong also smiled gently and nodded, "I really didn't misjudge you back then!" Yu Qianchong had known of Hao Jian's potential early on, so he had gone out of his way to cultivate him. Hao Jian had not disappointed him, truly becoming a talent and even saving his life. Yu Qianchong felt fortunate for having taken action back then, which had saved his own life. "I'm honored to fulfill the expectations," Hao Jian replied with a smile, and then both of them burst into hearty laughter, their camaraderie puzzling to the onlookers. "Please, take your seat," Yu Xiatang said with a beaming smile. But Yu Zhixun scoffed coldly, looking extremely dissatisfied. At this point, all he could hope for was Liang Jiankun to arrive quickly because only Liang Jiankun could control Hao Jian. "Yo, quite the lively scene here," said a familiar voice from behind just as Hao Jian was about to take his seat. He turned around and immediately frowned, for it was none other than Liang Jiankun. Hao Jian was puzzled as to why Liang Jiankun would be here. Yu Qianchong and the others also looked suspicious since they had no close relationship with Liang Jiankun. "Young Master, you've arrived?" Yu Zhixun hurriedly went up to greet him. With this move, Yu Qianchong and the rest realized what was going on—Liang Jiankun was likely invited by Yu Zhixun. A strange smile also emerged on the corners of Hao Jian's mouth. If he guessed correctly, Liang Jiankun was probably invited by Yu Zhixun to deal with him, and likely to teach him a lesson. Liang Jiankun nodded slightly and saluted Yu Qianchong: "It's a joyous occasion that the elder has recovered from his serious illness."
