"No clothes on, huh???" The old lecher narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Yang Ming becoming somewhat ambiguous. "You're really not what you seem. I never expected that beneath that glamorous exterior lay such rottenness. There's a saying, 'Gold on the outside, but rotten on the inside'..."

"Hmph, stop talking about me. To be honest, my wife has always handled Gu Pan's affairs. As for Gu Pan's current situation, I really don't know anything about it," Yang Ming said.

"Then why did you strip them naked???" The old pervert sneered.

"It wasn't that I stripped her naked, it was that I electrocuted her. How do you think Qingqing caught her? With electricity! Whenever she tried to run, she was just electrocuted. After a few times, she was completely naked..." Yang Ming said, his eyes sweeping over the two old men. "If you two were electrocuted, you probably wouldn't be able to escape either..."

"Nonsense! How could we possibly be electrocuted???" The old conman's beard twitched. "What kind of stun gun could get so close to us???"

"That's right..." the old lecher also said.

However, the two of them sounded a bit unsure of themselves. Electric shocks are indeed something that human beings cannot withstand. The key issue is that the speed of the current is simply too fast.

"Do you really want to know my secret?" If they continued, they would be touching on the secret, and Yang Ming wasn't sure if these two people were really who they were, so he asked seriously.

Hearing Yang Ming's words, the two old men's expressions also became serious. The old lecher said, "Actually, we don't know if we should know or not. In fact, we don't even know what Gu Pan wants to get by coming here. If it's inconvenient, you don't need to tell us. We two old men don't have that much curiosity."

"That's right..." the old swindler said seriously.

The two men suddenly became dignified, leaving Yang Ming somewhat at a loss. He had argued with these two old men before because they had such a disrespectful attitude that it made him feel that respecting them was a disgrace to himself.

But now, when the two old men get serious, they really do seem like reclusive sages.

Yang Ming's gaze swept back and forth between the two men, and finally he nodded, taking out his phone from his pocket: "I need to verify your identities now. If your identities are verified, it's not impossible for me to broaden your horizons and give you a lesson..." As Yang Ming spoke, he dialed a number.

"They even want to verify our identities. This kid's pretty vigilant, isn't he?" The old lecher couldn't help but stroke his beard and nod.

"Don't let his carefree and nonchalant demeanor fool you; when it comes to serious matters, he's incredibly capable..." The old conman nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes... He seems to have no vigilance at all, but in reality, he hasn't revealed anything useful..." The old lecher was so happy to hear his old friend praise his apprentice that he stroked his beard more frequently. This increased frequency caused him to pluck out several of his beautiful beard hairs, making the old man feel so sorry for him that he wanted to cry.

Soon, Yang Ming confirmed the identities of the two old men. They were indeed external members of the Ministry of State Security, and their disciples were mostly elites of the Ministry of State Security. Now that their identities were confirmed, some secrets could be opened to them.

"Gentlemen, come with me, I'll take you somewhere..." Yang Ming said with a serious expression, beckoning to the two of them.

The two old men exchanged a glance, and when they looked at Yang Ming again, he had already walked towards his backyard. The two old men quickly followed.

The moment they entered the back garden gate, the two old men shivered. Imagine going from a frigid -3 or -4 degree Celsius environment to a warm 30 degree Celsius environment; anyone would be astonished. Moreover, these two old men were grandmasters who had touched the realm of oneness with nature, so their reaction was even stronger.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a small device of mine that can adjust the temperature. The highest temperature is 100 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature is minus 100 degrees Celsius. The coverage area is only 100 kilometers..." Yang Ming said.

The thermostat is nothing special, at least in Yang Ming's opinion. He controls far too many high-tech instruments.

However, the two old men were already in a state of shock. Having spent their entire lives in the martial arts world, the moment they received the data from Yang Ming, their first thought was the destructive power of this "small device." If the range were set to its maximum and the temperature to its lowest, just imagine, an area within a hundred kilometers would become a world of ice. Apart from a very few microorganisms, there would be no life in this area. This was even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb.

With this "small device," Yang Ming indeed has the confidence to engage in equal dialogue with anyone.

"...This is just a small thing, a farm tool. When the temperature is suitable, it's suitable for crops to grow. Its function is simply to regulate the temperature." Yang Ming said, opening the gate and leading them into the farm.

The surrounding farms only had poultry and livestock such as pigeons and donkeys, but Yang Ming led them directly to the Seven-Colored Birds' farm.

"My God, a phoenix???" The two old men's sons' eyes widened the moment they saw the seven-colored bird, and they exclaimed in unison.

"It's not a phoenix, just an egg-laying bird. Its eggs are good for brainpower. I had some for breakfast this morning..." Yang Ming's face remained expressionless, but inside he was overjoyed. "Serves you two right for pretending! When I was introducing the thermostat earlier, you looked so indifferent, didn't you? Hmph, now that you see the seven-colored bird, are you still going to pretend?"

The two old men blushed, but not with shame, but with excitement. The lecherous old man grabbed Yang Ming and said, "My good disciple, such a good thing, shouldn't you offer it to your master as a token of your respect? Consider it a gift for becoming his disciple!"

"Speaking of which, old man, you keep saying I'm your apprentice, but I've never really asked you to be my master. What exactly have you taught me?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.

"Where's the book I gave you? Don't you know? That's the 'Yellow Emperor's Guide to Women,' which allows you to ascend to immortality once you reach the highest level of cultivation..." The old lecher angrily puffed out his beard and glared, but anyone could see that this old bastard was just pretending.

"Stop talking nonsense! What 'Yellow Emperor's Manual of Imperial Concubinage'? That's just a Taoist dual cultivation method without even a name. You only used it for evil purposes back then..." The old swindler directly exposed the old lecher's scheme, then put on a wolf in sheep's clothing and looked at Yang Ming, saying, "Little brother, big brother, as long as you give me these two... egg-shaped birds, yes, egg-shaped birds... as long as you give me these two egg-shaped birds, I'll let you copy all the secret manuals of my Bagua Sect. Let me tell you, the current head of the Bagua Sect is my eldest disciple. I'll work for you for another ten years. If you don't understand anything about martial arts, just ask me, and I'll answer everything I know..."

"You're talking nonsense! How can your lousy Bagua Palm compare to our Xingyi Quan?" The old lecher got angry and glared at the old swindler with a red face and thick neck. "You dare to steal my girlfriend? Do you believe I'll beat you to a pulp?" As he spoke, he even waved his fist at the old swindler in a threatening manner.

"You... what makes you think you can do this? You say he's from your Xingyi School, but have you even taught him a single move? How dare you say that..." The old swindler wasn't afraid of him, of course. If he couldn't beat him, he could run away. In terms of speed, even the old lecher couldn't catch him.

The Tai Chi master's defensive ability, the Xingyi master's offensive ability, and the Bagua master's agility are all strengths of the three masters. The Xingyi master is the number one master in the world because of his strongest offensive ability.

The two old men certainly knew the effects of the seven-colored bird egg. With the seven-colored bird egg, cultivating the mental technique would definitely be twice as effective.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. I'm not giving these two colorful birds to anyone. They're my wife's pets. If I give them away, she'll tear me apart..." Seeing the two old men on the verge of conflict, Yang Ming quickly intervened, "Aren't you still going to visit Ms. Gu?"

"Hmph..." The two old men stared at each other for a long time, then snorted at the same time.

Yang Ming shook his head and went into the cave first, followed by the two old men.

The cave was spacious, but not well-lit. Birds usually build their nests in dark places, as darkness makes them feel safe.

Yang Ming led the two men through the cave and soon arrived at the place where Gu Pan was being held. The lights were still on, and Gu Pan was slumped on the ground, her stomach rumbling. Surprisingly, she was wearing a bathrobe.

"Gu Pan, I've brought two experts to see you..." Yang Ming walked up to Gu Pan and looked down at her.

Gu Pan slowly raised her head. Her pretty face looked terribly haggard in the past two days. Her large eyes, deep in their sockets, were devoid of any light. Her messy hair was tangled together like a bird's nest.

"It really is her???" The old lecher's expression suddenly turned solemn. In fact, his heart was trembling. Gu Pan was a master, yet she had fallen to such a state. Judging from her rumbling stomach, he could tell that she was basically useless.

"This Wei Qingqing is no less than Lü Zhi..." Seeing Gu Pan's miserable state, the old swindler's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"What does Lü Zhi do?" Wei Qingqing's figure appeared in the dark corner at some point.

As soon as Wei Qingqing's voice rang out, the two old men broke out in a cold sweat. With their keen hearing and senses, they hadn't even noticed when Wei Qingqing had appeared. This made the two men, who had always had a strong sense of security, feel a sense of crisis for the first time, a crisis that could threaten their lives.

"There are countless shielding systems here. When you enter, your senses are already suppressed, so it's normal that you can't detect my arrival..." Wei Qingqing, carrying some food in her arms, seemed to know the shock in the two old men's hearts. She spoke calmly as she slowly walked out from the corner. Her footsteps were very light, but each step was like a great bell striking the hearts of everyone.

Wei Qingqing exuded a strong aura, a touch of elegance, and a hint of nobility.

When Gu Pan saw Wei Qingqing approaching, her stomach growled even louder. She scrambled to Wei Qingqing's feet, hugged her legs, and stared longingly at the food in Wei Qingqing's arms. Her pitiful appearance made the three men present feel a little sorry for her.

Wei Qingqing threw the food on the ground, but Gu Pan did not immediately pounce on it to eat. Instead, she stared at Wei Qingqing longingly. She absolutely dared not eat it unless Wei Qingqing gave the order.

"Mmm! Very good..." Wei Qingqing patted the top of her head. "Eat..."

After Wei Qingqing spoke, Gu Pan grabbed the food on the ground and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

The rabbit mourns the fox's death...

The old lecher and the old swindler felt a chill run down their spines at the sight before them. A peerless master had been reduced to this state by a village woman. This made them feel very depressed. Although they were on opposing sides, it did not prevent them from admiring each other.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" The old swindler's voice trembled as he spoke.

"That's going too far. At least I let her live..." Wei Qingqing glared at the old swindler and said, "What does this Lü Zhi you just mentioned do???"

"Ah... Lü Zhi, haven't you heard of her? The legendary Empress of the Han Dynasty, a first-class beauty, kind-hearted, gentle and virtuous. She embodied all the virtues of women, simply the most perfect woman in history..." The old swindler chuckled, sweating profusely.

"Hehe," Wei Qingqing laughed, "I've read about this Empress Lü in historical records. According to those records, she was a notoriously vicious woman in history..."

"What nonsense!" the old swindler waved his hand dismissively. "The history books are wrong..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you two old men. You didn't scheme against my Yang Ming..." Wei Qingqing smiled lightly. "I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."

"Alright, stop being so sarcastic..." Yang Ming was somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Qingqing's attitude. In his heart, Wei Qingqing was the most perfect woman, and he did not want to see any bad side of her.

Wei Qingqing pouted her little lips. This subtle movement made her strong personality disappear instantly, leaving only a trace of elegance, nobility, and playfulness.

Wei Qingqing walked to Yang Ming's side, hugged his arm, and said sweetly, "Honey, you're wronging me. When did I ever act sarcastic or mean?"

Yang Ming reached out and pinched her little nose. "What do you plan to do with Gu Pan???"

"Give her a lesson she'll never forget, and then we'll have her work as our housekeeper. We're the only two cooking at home now, it's such a hassle..." Wei Qingqing said sweetly.

"Ahem..." The old lecher coughed twice at this moment, "This Gu Pan, no matter how you look at it, is a master..."

"Old man, you don't mean to take her in as a disciple, do you? Hehe... Don't let our Ms. Gu's current appearance fool you, I guarantee she's an absolute beauty..." Wei Qingqing said with a rather ambiguous smile.

"..." The old lecher was so angry that his mouth twisted into a crook.

"That's right, brother. Just say the word, and I guarantee your apprentice's wife will offer up Gu Yatou with both hands..." Just then, the old swindler started stirring things up and winked at Wei Qingqing.

"Yes, yes..." Wei Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled, having a very good impression of the old swindler. This old swindler was quite a character.

"If I don't teach you a lesson in front of my apprentice's wife, you just wait. I'll remember this. Unless you shamelessly run away with your tail between your legs..." The old lecher chuckled, but it was a forced smile.

"I'm good at running around, that's my strength. Why would I use my weakness to compete with you instead of using my strength? Am I crazy???" The old swindler was spitting as he spoke. It was really infuriating that the old lecher was saying these words. He wanted to shut him up with his words.

"Hehehehe..." Wei Qingqing suddenly burst into laughter. "Alright, alright, how old are you? Still acting like old children. You've been arguing for so long, do you know how much you've made Aunt Liu laugh? Get serious, or you'll laugh your chin off..."

The two old men were dumbfounded. What did this mean? Were they being watched? Were they being eavesdropped on? That shouldn't be the case. At their level, if they felt like they were being spied on, shouldn't they be alert?

"Hehe, let me be frank with you two. From the moment you entered Zhengjia Village, our surveillance equipment has been recording you. Every word you said has been completely recorded. Even if you let out a silent fart, we could definitely find the leaky sound," Yang Ming laughed.

"So, you know everything we do???" The old lecher's face darkened. So, his past as a womanizer had also...

"This is copyright infringement, copyright infringement, do you understand???" The old swindler's face was also ugly. The fact that he was kicked twice in the butt by the old lecher and sent flying must have been recorded. If such a scene got out, how could he ever face the martial arts world again???

"Hey, stop messing around, okay? Aunt Liu said you look like you're putting on a monkey show..." Wei Qingqing covered her mouth and giggled.

"How about this, when we process the video later, we'll blur your faces with mosaics, so no one will ever see your faces clearly," Yang Ming said with a smile.

"I regret it so much! Why did I have to take on this stupid mission? It ruined my reputation..." The old lecher, his face flushed, huffed and puffed as he walked back the way he came.

"Hmph..." The old swindler was also quite angry, his face turned purplish-red, and he was full of shame. He followed behind the old lecher with his hands behind his back.

Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh at the same time. It was so satisfying to deal with these two old geezers.

"Go to sleep after you finish eating. You're just destined to eat and sleep, sleep and eat..." Wei Qingqing wrinkled her nose at Gu Pan, hugged Yang Ming's arm, and the couple followed the two old men out.

The four of them left the back garden together. The two old men were still sulking, a stark contrast to the smiling young couple.

"I'm warning you, delete it, delete it all..." The old lecher said angrily, glancing at Yang Ming every now and then, muttering something under his breath.

"Little brat, you're so wicked..." The old swindler would occasionally give Yang Ming a resentful glance.

"Deleted, that's definitely not an option, but we can blur your faces and remove some sensitive sounds. Besides, we're not going to release this video. It's just for the two of us to watch when we're bored..." Yang Ming said with a wicked smile.

"I want to strangle you..." The old lecher glared angrily at Yang Ming.

"Then let's not blur it out..." Yang Ming said quietly.

"No pinching, no pinching. If anyone dares to pinch you, just tell Master, and Master will punish them..." The old lecher hurriedly smiled apologetically.

"Hehehe...you're just bullying me..." Wei Qingqing giggled and pinched Yang Ming's arm.

The moment the four of them stepped out of the back garden, two different cell phone ringtones rang simultaneously...
