(Note: From this chapter on, the protagonist’s name will be consistently used as Suo Lun, and Lanling will be temporarily de-emphasized.)

The room instantly fell silent, and the air became extremely oppressive.

“Suo Lun, you dared to come,” Jian Ning said with a cold laugh.

Then, he shouted loudly, “Get out!

All of you trash, get out!”

Immediately, three or four physicians ran out in a sorry state, not forgetting to take a look at Suo Lun on their way out.

Clearly, Suo Lun’s reputation had become very significant recently.

“Come in, Suo Lun,” Jian Ning said coldly.

As Suo Lun entered the room, his eyes narrowed instantly because the lighting inside was very dim, making it hard to see clearly.

He could faintly see Niya lying on the bed, unconscious.

A tall man stood in the center of the room.

“Bang…” The man flicked his sleeve, and the door slammed shut.

“No one is allowed within a hundred steps of this room,” Jian Ning ordered.

At once, everyone withdrew, leaving only Suo Lun, Jian Ning, and the unconscious Niya within a hundred steps.

“You actually came.

You should know that this is a trap set up to cripple you,” Jian Ning said with some disbelief.

“Should I say you’re infatuated, or should I say you’re foolish?

To go as far as to disregard your own life for a woman.”

Suo Lun was indeed surprised by Jian Ning’s frankness.

Straight away, Jian Ning turned his face, allowing Suo Lun to see this man for the first time.

He wasn’t as handsome as Suo Lun, but he had a more dashing and intensely charismatic presence.

Suo Lun laughed and said, “Yeah, this world really is full of wonders.

Some people actually use their wife’s life to threaten her lover?”

Jian Ning smirked at the corner of his mouth, with no intention of arguing.

Suo Lun said, “I want to ask, if I hadn’t come, would you really have killed Niya?”

Jian Ning remained silent, thus answering Suo Lun’s question in his own way.

Suo Lun narrowed his eyes and asked, “Then, may I inquire if you have ever loved this woman?”

“I have,” Jian Ning replied.

“Which young man hasn’t experienced love?

However, is love anything but fleeting and illusory?

Compared with tangible interests, it’s utterly insignificant, isn’t it?”

Suo Lun said, “I’m still somewhat surprised to hear such unabashedly beastly words coming from you.”

Jian Ning clearly had become immune to Suo Lun’s words, merely smiling faintly.

Suo Lun frowned and said, “To become a Commander of a Thousand, you’d even let someone else sleep with your wife.

To curry favor with your master, you’re willing to kill your wife; and the most ludicrous part is using your wife’s life to threaten another man.

That truly is f*cking despicable.”

Jian Ning said, “Who asked you to care about her?

If you didn’t care, you could have just let her die.”

Suo Lun said, “But, as of now, she and I haven’t actually done anything.

And there’s an old saying, ‘even a night together as husband and wife warrants a hundred days of grace.’ After all, she is your wife.”

“Heh…” Jian Ning said, “So naive.

No wonder your family has fallen into such a dire situation.”

Having said that, Jian Ning slowly rolled up his sleeves and declared, “Since we both know what’s what, prepare yourself.

I’m going to make my move.”

“You’re going to break my right arm, so I won’t be able to participate in the archery test tomorrow, right?” Suo Lun said.

“No, not just the right hand,” Jian Ning said.

“It’s all four limbs.

Although Commandery Princess Zhi Ning only wanted to prevent you from participating in tomorrow’s major examination, I believe that if the master is humiliated, the servant must die.

Therefore, I am going to break all four of your limbs.”

Jian Ning casually picked up a hard jade ball and squeezed it gently in his hand.

“Bang!” The hard jade ball instantly shattered completely.

As a Dragon Samurai, Jian Ning knew that Suo Lun’s martial arts would make no difference to him.

If he really took action, Suo Lun wouldn’t even have a chance to struggle.

“To end things once and for all, I’m going to use this method to crush all the bones in your limbs into powder,” Jian Ning said.

“Maybe this could even save your life.

Seeing how pitiful you are, Commandery Princess Zhi Ning might spare you.”

Then, Jian Ning began to approach step by step, with a fierce roar, “Suo Lun, you dared to come?

You put horns on my head, trampled on my dignity as a man, and have caused Niya to end up like this, and you still showed up?

I’ll kill you…”

His voice was loud, intended to make sure everyone around could hear that he was crippling Suo Lun out of passion, regardless of what others thought.

This really was a loyal dog, Niya’s affair was a secret, but now, to carry out his master’s bidding, he didn’t hesitate to reveal his own scandal.

Suo Lun was completely dumbfounded; people in this world constantly refreshed his understanding of the lowest limits.

Even though his voice was full of anger and madness, his face was all cruel sneers.

Coming face to face with Suo Lun, Jian Ning said indifferently, “Suo Lun, accept your fate, you are a tragedy.”

Then, he was about to exert Dragon Power to completely crush Suo Lun’s arms into powder.

Suo Lun said, “Jian Ning, you have a concubine and even fathered a son with her who is two years old now.

Tutor Niya might not care, but she knows everything very clearly.

And right now, my people are at your concubine’s place.

If you lay a hand on me, you’ll never see them again.”

Jian Ning’s face changed color and he said, “Are you trying to kill my concubine, kill my son?”

“No, I’m not so heartless and mad,” Suo Lun said.

“I will have my people take your woman and son away, so you’ll never see them again, and that’s your only son.”

“Hahaha…” Jian Ning laughed loudly.

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘What great man lacks a wife, what great man lacks an heir?’ But now that you’ve angered me, I’m going to cripple your fifth limb too.”

Suddenly stepping forward, Jian Ning seized Suo Lun’s arms and said coldly, “It’s going to hurt, endure it.”

Suo Lun sighed and said, “You have once again refreshed my understanding of the bottom line of human nature, but you still don’t dare to do it because once you lay a hand on me, your future is utterly ruined.”

“Hahaha…” Jian Ning laughed.

“Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?

A foppish man like you, without even a title to his name, and you’re threatening me?”

Suo Lun said, “I have a painting in my arms; care to take a look?”

Jian Ning was taken aback and sneered, “It’s just a painting, what’s the big deal?

Even if you scatter nude portraits of my wife everywhere, I won’t stop.”

“It’s indeed a nude painting, but not of Niya,” Suo Lun said.

“Why don’t you take it out and appreciate it?”

Jian Ning’s eyes narrowed, and he reached out his hand.

“You take it out.”

Suo Lun drew the painting from within his robes and opened it toward Jian Ning.

With just one glance, Jian Ning’s eyeballs almost exploded on the spot.

The figures in the painting were indeed naked, only it wasn’t Niya, but two men: Jian Ning and Prince Zili.

The two men were bare and engaged in an unbearable and filthy act.

Moreover, Jian Ning was the dominant one, while Prince Zili was submissive.

The key point was that the portrait was incredibly lifelike, with expressions, lighting, and even the traces of bulging veins all clearly depicted.

Especially the soul*destroying expressions on the faces of the two men looked as real as life itself.

This painting was really, really vivid, completely rendered in color sketches, and looked just like a photograph.

Of course, Suo Lun didn’t know what Zhi Li and Jian Ning looked like.

However, after his sister Suo Ningbing learned the principles of sketching, her skills improved dramatically, and Suo Lun first had her depict the faces of the two men.

Then, based on these two faces, Suo Lun created this incredibly filthy painting.

While painting it, he almost vomited two or three times.

The effect now that he drew it out was indeed shocking and stunning.

“You, you’re seeking death, this is defamation,” Jian Ning roared hoarsely.

“That’s right, it is defamation,” Suo Lun said.

“Prince Zili’s favorite is other people’s wives; he has no interest in men.

And I’ve also drawn a version ten times larger, which is even more lifelike and impactful.

If I do not return home safe and sound within two hours, someone will paste it in the busiest area of the royal city.

Then what do you think will happen?”

Jian Ning started picturing that scene and immediately shivered uncontrollably.

Suo Lun said, “Let me deduce it for you, see if it makes sense?

First of all, the citizens of the royal city love to gather round, especially for rumors of the royal family—the more sensational, the better.

Considering how lifelike and bizarre the portrait is, it will instantly attract thousands of onlookers, and within half a day, the scandal involving you and Prince Zili will explode across the royal city, spreading throughout the entire kingdom within a few days.”

Indeed, there was no doubt about this.

Suo Lun said, “When a rumor is told by ten thousand people, it becomes the truth.

By then, no one will care whether the two of you are innocent.

Everyone will think that the reason why Jian Ning could become one of the most celebrated commanders in the empire was solely by selling his body, entirely because he made Prince Zili very happy.”

Jian Ning’s face began to twitch; with such a thing happening, he, Jian Ning, could jump into the Nu River and still not clear his name.

Suo Lun continued, “I have no prejudice against same-sex love, but in this world, it’s still taboo, and in the Dragon Temple, it’s even considered heresy.

Once Prince Zili is thought to have such tendencies, his position as heir is in danger.

So, even just for the sake of avoiding suspicion, the royal family will sideline you.

By then, not to mention a greater future, you’ll lose your current position as a commander too.”

“My deduction is over; does it seem logical to you?” Suo Lun said.

Jian Ning did not answer; if such an event really occurred, then Suo Lun’s deduction was nothing but the lightest of possible consequences.

To dispel the rumors and clear Prince Zili’s suspicion, he, Jian Ning, would undoubtedly be the scapegoat, and by then anything could happen.

“If you dare to spread such rumors about His Highness Prince Zili, you will die with your body unburied, and all your family members will die with their bodies unburied,” Jian Ning said sternly.

“His Majesty the King will personally dismember you.”

“I know, but I don’t care,” Suo Lun said.

“Anyway, my limbs are going to be broken by you, I won’t be able to take the exam tomorrow, nor will I be able to inherit a title and save my family’s property.

A mere death, what does it count for?

I want you to perish with me.

I’m willing to give up my life; are you willing to give up your future?”

Suo Lun’s tactic was like an egg striking a rock; himself shattered to pieces, but he would also drench the rock in blood, making it permanently unclean.

“You’re despicable, shameless…” Jian Ning ground his teeth furiously.

Suo Lun said, “Nobility is the motto of the noble; despicability is the pass of the despicable.

Faced with someone as shameless as you, I can only be even more shameless, and in a simple and crude way at that.”

Jian Ning, angrily, raised his palm, his eyes bloodshot and trembling, ready to strike Suo Lun down and cripple him.

But he raised his hand only to put it down again, and then reluctantly, he lifted it once more.

“Hehe, idiot,” Suo Lun said with a faint smile.

“Either do it quickly, or I’m leaving.”
