Chapter 29: Regret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tian Heng clenched his fist tightly, and his fingernails pressed into his palm.
He was exasperated.
“Why?”
“I, Tian Heng, trained martial arts for decades and fought for decades to achieve what I have today.”
“This pretty boy was like a useless brat two days ago who could be trounced.”
“Yet now, he could come up and slap my face.”
“Just because he’s good-looking?”
Therefore, Tian Heng had the impulse to crush Shen Lang’s face almost 100 times every minute.
However, he could not do that!
Therefore, Tian Heng said, “Tian Thirteen dared to offend Mr. Shen? How dare him; when he returns, I will break his legs!”
Shen Lang frowned. “He’s not in?”
“Yes, he’s not in.” Tian Heng smiled. “Last night, we sent him to Bailing City, and he will only return in a month or two.”
“Hehe!”
How could things be so coincidental? Shen Lang did not believe it at all.
However, since Tian Heng said he was not in, Shen Lang could not possibly search the room.
“Since he’s not in, then it’s alright. However, when he returns, please inform me,” said Shen Lang, “I will definitely break his legs. If I don’t vent my anger, I will not let the matter rest!”
“Of course, of course.” Tian Heng smiled apologetically.
“I will take my leave.” Shen Lang left straightaway.
The warrior from the Palace of the Earl, who was following behind him, looked at the box of gold coins on the table, unsure whether he should take it away.
Shen Lang said, “Take the gold coins with you; this is what Tian Heng owed me. It is unrelated to the Palace of the Earl.”
The warrior went forward, took the box of gold coins, and left with Shen Lang.
When they were about to leave, the two warriors exchanged glances. They wondered if the Lady had married the wrong guy?
His shamelessness completely ruined the reputation of the Palace of the Earl.

When Shen Lang left, Tian Heng, the leader of the Black Clothes Gang, could no longer hold it in him. He slammed the teacups that Shen Lang used out of the table.
“Come, break the chair that he sat on and burn it.”
Immediately, two warriors entered and cut the chair that Shen Lang had sat on with a knife before burning it in the kitchen.
“Foster father, you don’t have to be angry; Shen Lang, this useless brat, is so arrogant. The Earl of Xuanwu loves the masses like his children and treasures his reputation. He will definitely punish that brat. Soon, we may hear the news that Shen Lang had died in the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.”
Tian Thirteen walked out.
Of course, he did not go to Bailing City.
Tian Heng said, “I can’t believe it; how can such a useless brat turn into a wealthy person so quickly and naturally! He even did it without any help from others.”
Of course, he knew that Shen Lang was not a useless brat, but he said it in this manner to vent his frustration.”
“He’s only a stupid guy who tries to live off the rich. He will not accomplish anything great,” Tian Thirteen sneered, “look at his shamelessness. He won’t get far in life.”
Tian Heng said, “For this time, you should not leave this place. Stay in and help with the chores. Don’t go out and show your face.”
Tian Thirteen was extraordinarily frustrated but could only nod and say, “Alright.”
However…
At this moment, Shen Lang, who had already left, quickly rushed back to their campsite.
Tian Thirteen was in shock and scurried to hide.
“No need to hide, I saw you,” Shen Lang sneered, “Tian Thirteen, you are very fast, you came back from Bailing City in the blink of an eye!”
At this moment, Tian Heng was exploding with anger. This stupid Shen Lang, not only was he shameless, but he was also sly.
He had already left but returned?
Shen Lang looked at Tian Thirteen and said, “You brought more than ten people to my house and broke in, attempting to kidnap my parents and brother. If Jin Zhong had not arrived, I wonder what would happen to them. I am only planning to break your legs; I don’t think that is asking too much!”
Tian Thirteen’s face twitched as he glared at Shen Lang.
When facing Shen Lang, it was useless to plead for mercy. Therefore, he did not have to hide his frustration and hatred.
Shen Lang said emotionlessly, “Gang Leader Tian, you said that as long as Tian Thirteen returns, you will break his legs to help me vent my frustration. What are you waiting for then!”
Tian Heng closed his eyes.
He did not want to do that.
Moreover, last night, after seeing Shen Lang and Jin Mulan’s marriage, Tian Heng, who felt a sense of crisis, instantly found a person of support.
Zhang Chong, the governor.
Of course, he talked to Zhang Pu about this.

He used 35 percent of the profits from his five gambling dens as compensation for the help of the Zhang Family.
When he agreed to this deal, his heart bled.
That was because more than 60 percent of his profits came from the gambling dens.
However, this allowed him to have the power to fend for himself when he faced the Palace of the Earl.
He did not want to completely turn against Shen Lang.
However, this bastard did not know his limits.

Instantly, Tian Heng’s expression changed. His gaze turned cold, and he slammed the table with his fist.
“Bang!”
Instantly, the sturdy wooden table was smashed into pieces.
Meanwhile, the two warriors of the Palace of the Earl whipped out their swords and stood before Shen Lang.
No matter how they felt about Shen Lang, as long as Shen Lang was in danger, they would still protect him with their lives.
“Shen Lang, don’t push it!” Tian Heng roared in frustration.
Of course, he would not break Tian Thirteen’s legs. That was not because he felt emotionally attached to Tian Thirteen but rather because this involved his reputation.
Tian Thirteen had gone to capture Shen Lang’s family since he was following Tian Heng’s instructions.
If he had broken Tian Thirteen’s legs because of the pressure from Shen Lang, then his reputation would be gone entirely. In the future, who would dare to do things for him?
His reputation would be tarnished throughout Xuanwu City.
“Gang Leader Tian Heng, you were the one who made the promise; why are you saying that I am asking for too much?” Shen Lang sneered.
Tian Heng said, “Mr. Shen, it is easy to forgive; please show mercy on others.”
Shen Lang said coldly, “Then when you saw that I was weak and wanted to kill my family along with me, did you ever think of showing mercy?” 1
Tian Heng stared at Shen Lang and said word by word, “You’re not genuinely powerful! You’re only exploiting your powers!” Since they had already made it clear, Tian Heng did not have to continue hiding his emotions. He said, “That’s right, you became the son-in-law of the Palace of the Earl. I won’t dare to touch you. However, you are only the live-in son-in-law, and your status is only slightly higher than a servant. You can’t mess around with me.”
Tian Thirteen said at the side, “Moreover, the Earl loved the people like his children, if you are behaving like this as the live-in son-in-law of the Palace of the Earl, I’m sure he won’t forgive you. To rebuild his family’s reputation, he would probably kill you. Just wait.”
Tian Heng said, “The Earl is someone who knows rules and manners. My power is not within the control of the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. I am part of the civilian army of Xuanwu City and belong to the Palace of the City Lord. As long as I don’t offend the Earl, he would not do anything to me. Even if I don’t offend you, it does not mean that I am afraid of you!”
From certain aspects, Tian Heng made a lot of sense.
Now, the Yue State was running on new governance. The Earl of Xuanwu had been extremely uninvolved in matters. If the issue was not within their power to control, they would not get involved. They would not bother about regional military affairs and governance, or they would only invite trouble.
The City Lord’s Palace and the Governor’s Palace had eyes on them, waiting for the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to make a mistake.
Tian Heng said, “Shen Lang, initially, I wanted to give you a chance. Perhaps we could still be friends. However, you are taking it too far. If you don’t want your reputation anymore, then don’t blame me for not being nice.”
Shen Lang stopped smiling and said calmly, “Gang Leader Tian Heng, let me ask you one last time, are you willing to break Tian Thirteen’s legs?”
Tian Heng sneered, “If you want to do it, you can do it. Ask the warriors behind you to do it.”
They wanted Shen Lang to do it?
How was that possible? With his pathetic strength, how would he be able to defeat Tian Thirteen?
Ask the warriors of the Palace of the Earl to do it?
That was even more impossible!
The two warriors would use their lives to protect Shen Lang. However, they would not listen to him and beat someone else for him.
Shen Lang looked at the two of them to test their intentions.
Both of the warriors avoided his gaze. It was apparent that Shen Lang would not be able to instruct them.
“Shen Lang, we were talking nicely, why must you stir up trouble?” Tian Heng sneered, “people embarrass themselves; it’s fine.”
Mulan had said that Shen Lang could slap Tian Heng and he would not fight back. In fact, he would give him his face.
However, breaking Tian Thirteen’s legs was equivalent to breaking Tian Heng’s shoulders. It surpassed his limits.
Therefore, Tian Heng had fallen out with him!
Shen Lang’s expression tightened before he laughed.
“Gang Leader Tian Heng!”
“Mr. Shen!”
Shen Lang looked at the sky outside and said, “I think it is a little late today, I have to pay a visit to my parents, maybe tomorrow.”
“What about tomorrow?” Tian Heng smiled.
Shen Lang said, “Tomorrow, I will make sure you break Tian Thirteen’s legs in front of me and swallow the words that you said today.”
“Hahahaha…” Tian Heng laughed loudly. “How disrespectful. You are simply a live-in son-in-law of the Palace of the Earl, stop boasting! Who do you really think you are? Trying to defeat me? Dream on!”
Shen Lang said, “Tomorrow will come quickly; we will see then. Don’t be impatient.”
Tian Heng said, “Alright, I will wait and see!”
Shen Lang smiled and said kindly, “See you tomorrow, gang leader Tian.”
Today was nothing!
Tomorrow, Tian Heng would understand the pain and ultimately regret his actions!
