After the meal, Qiu Shi was prepared to bring Jiang Yun and Liu Yuanqing for a discussion. She did not expect Song Ankang to join as well. Hence, the three of them walked towards the storeroom.
The storeroom was located in the center of Chaoyun Manor. It was several thousand square meters in area and was completely made of stone. Even worms could not enter.
Liu Yuanqing basically stayed in the storeroom during the day and had nothing else to do. His days were rather relaxed.
When Song Ankang and the others arrived at the storeroom, Liu Yuanqing was enjoying some dried meat and fruits under the care of two waiters. He was living quite a comfortable life.
“Young master, you’re here. What’s the matter?”
The fat Liu Yuanqing didn’t take it seriously even with Song Ankang’s arrival. He slowly got up and looked at Song Ankang.
Song Ankang glanced at him. “I’m here to collect my monthly allowance for this month. I’ll exchange all of it for medicinal herbs. At the same time, I also want to advance my monthly allowance for the next two months. I should still have this bit of authority.”
“This…” Liu Yuanqing was stunned. He looked at Jiang Yunhe with some fear, but he still rejected him directly.” Young master doesn’t know that the weather is dry this year. I’m afraid we can’t afford to pay taxes, so we have been saving up for last year’s inventory. Everyone’s monthly allowance has been reduced. ”
Song Ankang frowned. “When did this happen?”
“It started last month. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Liu Yuanqing explained.
Song Ankang asked, “Did Butler Wang and your monthly allowance decrease too?”
“This…” Liu Yuanqing was stunned. He couldn’t speak for a moment. There was a record of the monthly allowance that was given out, so he didn’t dare to say anything.
Song Ankang could tell the answer from his expression. He sneered and said, “Since you and Butler Wang didn’t even get your monthly allowance reduced, why are you doing this to me? Could it be that you two are the Manor Lords and I’m your servant?”
“Give me my monthly allowance for this month, and for the next two months, nothing less.”
“But… but there really isn’t much left in the storeroom.” Liu Yuanqing was still reluctant to admit his faults.
Song Ankang’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Jiang Yunhe and said, “Instructor Jiang, crippled this bastard who offended his superiors. You actually deducted his monthly allowance from me. Do you really think I’m a pushover?”
“Yes, Young Master.” Jiang Yunhe nodded and walked towards Liu Yuanqing.
Even though Liu Yuanqing was a martial artist at the third minor realm of External Realm, he was far inferior to Instructor Jiang who was at the Internal Realm. Liu Yuanqing would undoubtedly lose if the two of them fought.
Liu Yuanqing started to panic seeing that Song Ankang wasn’t joking with him. “Young Master, you can’t be like this. I’m an old man from Chaoyun Manor. I’ve been in charge of the warehouse for decades. Even if I didn’t have any achievements, I’ve worked hard. You can’t treat me like this.”
Song Ankang turned a deaf ear. His expression was as calm as water. Jiang Yun and Liu Yuanqing were getting closer and closer.
“If the manager of the Tang Family who is in charge of food and medicinal herbs knew you did this, he would definitely punish you.” Liu Yuanqing was still stubbornly resisting.
Song Ankang looked up and didn’t take his words to heart. Crippling Liu Yuanqing was a normal punishment for the actions he had taken.

If the manager of the Tang family punished him because of this, he would be offending his superiors. Then, he would not blame Song Ankang for crippling his abilities.
Seeing that Song Ankang was still unmoved, Liu Yuanqing finally became well-behaved. “Young master, I was wrong. I will make up for your monthly allowance this month and give you two months in advance.”
However, what frightened Liu Yuanqing was that even though he had already admitted defeat, Song Ankang still didn’t call Jiang Yunhe back. Jiang Yunhe was about to catch him.
At this critical juncture, Liu Yuanqing’s mind finally became nimble. “I will also hand over my salary for the past three months to Young Master. Please forgive me, Young Master. I will not dare to do it again.”
Song Ankang stopped Jiang Yunhe and glared at Liu Yuanqing. “If this happens again, no one will be able to protect you.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I will do as young master says. This lowly one will not do it again.” Liu Yuanqing bowed repeatedly, almost kneeling on the ground.
They prepared the medicinal ingredients Song Ankang needed as quickly as possible. Liu Yuanqing led a group of workers from the storeroom to send Song Ankang off. They were no longer as arrogant and negligent as before.
After they left the storeroom, Jiang Yunhe looked as if he had just met Song Ankang for the first time. He looked at Song Ankang in surprise. “Young master did a good job this time. You finally look like a master.”
“That’s right, that’s right. The young master is so impressive. That Liu Yuanqing was almost scared to tears by the young master just now. It’s really satisfying to see him like this.” Qiu Shi’s bright eyes flashed with red hearts. It was obvious that he had already fallen to Song Ankang’s pants.
Song Ankang smiled and said, “If Instructor Jiang wasn’t there to support me, I wouldn’t have dared to do this. It’s all thanks to Instructor Jiang.”
“Young master, you flatter me.” Jiang Yunhe smiled. He wanted to say that he had always been by your side, but he had never seen you so unyielding. Could it be that your temper and personality had changed after you finally stepped onto the path of cultivation?
This was a good thing. A weak and gullible son-in-law was not worthy of a talented and beautiful young lady.
However, when Jiang Yunhe’s gaze inadvertently swept past Song Ankang’s back and saw the slightly bulging muscles due to Song Ankang’s movement, Jiang Yunhe’s heart skipped a beat.
This… Why did this seem like the characteristic of a warrior in the Flesh Training Realm? Moreover, the personality change of the son-in-law seemed to be a little too drastic. Usually, only after cultivating the demonic arts would there be such a change.
Jiang Yunhe was a little suspicious, but he didn’t reveal it. Instead, he carefully observed Song Ankang’s every move.
After all, Song Ankang had just stepped onto the path of cultivation. He had just broken through not long ago and did not cultivate the Hidden Heaven Earth Technique. In addition, the characteristics of the external forging stage were already very obvious. Therefore, Jiang Yunhe quickly discovered more abnormalities.

Jiang Yunhe gradually confirmed his guess. In just a few days, Song Ankang had gone from a weak scholar to a Flesh Realm martial artist. This was too fast. Unless one cultivated in a demonic cultivation technique, it would be very difficult for one to improve so quickly.
However, everyone knew that the unorthodox cultivation methods didn’t have high requirements for talent and cultivation speed, they often had tremendous side effects. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to cultivate to a high boundary and the future was limited. Most importantly, it was easy to die early.
Those that cultivated in unorthodox cultivation methods would find it hard to have a good ending. There were very few human martial artists that chose to cultivate in unorthodox cultivation methods, unless they had no choice.
There were so many orthodox cultivation techniques, and there were also many divine cultivation techniques and arts after all. Why would he choose an unorthodox cultivation technique?
While Qiu Shi was happily preparing the herbs, Jiang Yunhe couldn’t help but look at Song Ankang and ask, “Young master, did you… did you cultivate with an unorthodox cultivation technique during the two days I was away?”
