Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 50.1: Life-Prolonging Golden Needle

Zhou Chen felt Meng Jintang's analysis was reasonable, although currently unverifiable, silently etching it into his heart.

Although the matter with Green Moth Palace has been temporarily suppressed, the restless Second Young Master Nan had stirred up some commotion again.

From the perspective of character modeling, Second Young Master Nan was originally considered handsome, but the arrogant expression on his face significantly detracted from the beauty of his features.

He held a new whip in his hand, its shadow resembling a snake, constantly circling around the young man who had come along with Iron Pen Scholar Yang Weibian.

The young man was covered in numerous wounds, but only in his eyes, the unyielding light continued to flicker.

Like Nan Qi, one of the twelve guardians of Nanjia Fort, Nan San hastily arrived with his fellow brothers.

Witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but furrow his brow and spoke out to dissuade, "Second Young Master!"

His voice was filled with earnest advice, urging the Second Young Master to turn back from the wrong path, and a strong sense of weariness, questioning why it had to be him again.

Upon hearing these words, the actions of Second Young Master Nan hesitated slightly, and a flaw appeared in his technique. Seizing the opportunity, the young man skillfully slid his feet backward, finally managing to escape from the encirclement of the opponent's attacks.

Nan San quickly greeted the other side with a clasped fist and inquired, "Second Young Master, what is the meaning of this?"

The twelve guardians were not ordinary martial artists and held a respectable position within the fort. Second Young Master Nan had to give them some face.

He snorted and said, "I'm helping Uncle Zhou deal with this little thief."

Upon hearing the words ‘little thief’, the fire of anger ignited in the young man's eyes.

He spoke with a cold tone, "I haven't stolen anything!"

The Second Young Master Nan sneered. "I specifically instructed the servants at home. That Iron Pen Scholar Yang is a renowned expert with profound skills and no fear of the cold. If we were to send charcoal over, wouldn't it make people think that Nanjia Fort underestimates heroes from all over? However, this little thief didn't appreciate my good intentions. He actually stole some charcoal to use. Since the matter occurred on the territory of Nanjia Fort, how could I turn a blind eye? Naturally, I have to teach a lesson to this unruly nephew of Mr Yang."

Nan San was speechless.

Since the passing of the old fort lord, the Second Young Master Nan had spent most of his time at his uncle's house.

His character was not commendable from a young age, and with his uncle's indulgence, there was little change even as he grew older. However, his skill in talking nonsense had improved quite a bit.

Nan San understood in his heart that the talk of ‘underestimating heroes around the world’ was just an excuse for not sending charcoal to Yang Weibian's side. Second Young Master Nan had lost face in the hands of this uncle and nephew duo before, and he had to find a way to regain his dignity.

Moreover, Nanjia Fort was different from outside. As long as he picked a situation with not too many onlookers, it might not be easy to encounter meddlesome heroes willing to stand up for Yang Weibian and the others.

As a subordinate of Nanjia Fort, Nan San found it difficult to reprimand his own young master, and he was also unwilling to be disrespectful to the guests. While verbally advising against it, he quickly sent someone to call the person in charge.

He stood on the right side of Second Young Master Nan, using his body to block the path of the young master's whip, preventing any further conflict between the two parties.

Upon receiving the report from the guards, Zhou Chen hurriedly arrived. Originally under his command were the four chief commanders: Chief Commander Gao Xun, Second Chief Commander Xia Ri, Third Chief Commander Cai Sihai, and Fourth Chief Commander Tian Du.

Any one of them could have dealt with the current situation easily. However, upon hearing the words ‘charcoal fire’, Zhou Chen couldn't help but associate it with the recent events at Green Moth Palace. Not daring to be negligent, he felt the need to personally inquire about the situation.

Second Young Master Nan, continuously obstructed, suddenly flicked his long whip towards Nan San, venting his frustration.

"It was forgivable earlier, but now, with the thief caught red-handed, why should I—"

His whip, halfway through its swing, was seized by someone. The once agile whip, resembling a venomous snake, instantly went limp, transforming into a lifeless serpent.

Zhou Chen released the whip and sighed. "Second Young Master."

If most of Nan San's sigh was somewhat helpless, then Zhou Chen's sigh contained a hint of a desire to give someone a beating.

Second Young Master Nan's expression changed several times, and finally, he forced a smile and said, "Uncle Zhou, why did you come?" He glanced around, glared fiercely at the guards beside him, and added, "It’s just some trivial matter, why bother Uncle Zhou?"

While comforting the young man, Zhou Chen gestured to Second Young Master Nan not to cause trouble. He held great influence within the fortress and carried a significant amount of authority.

Previously, in the Green Moth Palace incident, due to the relationship between the two factions, he couldn't act too arrogantly. Facing Meng Jintang, he also found himself involuntarily suppressed by her aura, making it less noticeable.

Holding the young man's hand, Zhou Chen led him to a nearby pavilion and sat down.

He then whispered to Nan San, "I'll go talk to them and try to resolve this. Kids are straightforward; once they express themselves, there's nothing to fear. Brother, please stand by and keep an eye on things. We wouldn't want outsiders to exploit any misunderstandings within our Nanjia Fort."

Nan San, aware of the situation, discreetly stationed his men around the pavilion, ensuring a watchful eye on all sides.

Second Young Master Nan, hearing the stern words, showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

In response, Zhou Chen added calmly, "If Second Young Master Nan is dissatisfied with me, you can discuss it with the fortress lord when he returns tomorrow."

Upon hearing the words, Second Young Master Nan couldn't help but shudder—while he might have some apprehension towards Zhou Chen, his fear towards the lord of Nanjia Fort was profound.

After scolding Second Young Master Nan, Zhou Chen began to communicate with the young man, skillfully probing to understand what had happened just now.
