Big Vat’s Day. Refining the Vat.

Jin Wangsun paced back and forth in his room, looking as if he was anxious. Jiangnan's usually graceful young master currently looked distressed and uneasy. One could go as far as to say that there was a tinge of… fear and anxiety that would be difficult to illustrate with words.

For the last few days, Jin Wangsun had been extremely unsettled. Men from Yingtian Prefecture had their eyes on his estate, and thus, he couldn't go anywhere, subsequently staying at home. Little did he realise, Hongjiu, the megaphone, went around promoting his nicknames 'Big Golden Vat' and 'Big Pants' amongst the people.

His legacy spread throughout via the rhymes that the children sang. There is something that is faster than cheetahs; that would be the mouths of women who love to gossip. Hongjiu cleverly passed the song onto the ladies at the market and shared it with children. Jin Wangsun had always been infamous in the capital. News of him exploiting the people to flaunt himself that day spread far and wide. Consequently, it only took a few days for his signature song to be as hot as Eight Deities Tavern's business. The song spread so wildly that even Jin Wangsun, who was stuck at home, heard of it.

Jin Wangsun was infuriated, so infuriated that he almost coughed blood. Everyone who knew what was going on knew that the credit belonged to Mount Daluo's people. So accordingly, he hired assassins to deal with Ming Feizhen. Nevertheless, that wasn't the main reason that he was unsettled. His source of unease was the master of Night Fortress.

He tried to locate the whereabouts of the master of Night Fortress who barged into his abode and went on a rampage, and also the one who palmed him into a vat. His subordinates reported in on the matter not long ago. After that day, he was certain that he knew who Master Night Fortress was. Jin Wangsun had no means of taking any actions when Master Night Fortress was so skilled and plotting against him. Alas, the results of his investigation were disappointing.

There was no direct or clear evidence that described how Master Night Fortress operated in the pugilistic world, his face or his character, let alone his current whereabouts. There was only one thing that he considered suspicious, which was the record of who came and went from the Imperial Palace.

Jin Wangsun was rich enough to have almost everyone at his beck and call. He spent a large sum of money to bribe high-ranking eunuch Wang Tushui to get his hands on the records of entry and exits from the Imperial Palace on the day Master Night Fortress showed up. Jin Wangsun had his men look into every single person who was on the list, even going as far as investigating Prime Minister Li Si, who was well into old age. He didn't overlook any individual who was famous. Unfortunately, he didn't learn anything. Everyone on the list was innocent.

Only then did Jin Wangsun admonish himself for being foolish. Given Master Night Fortress' phenomenal qinggong prowess and ability to move as fast as the wind, not even the entire Imperial Palace's guards could stop him. Why would he go to the trouble of signing in and out?

Initially, it was no big deal until he met the young Sisi from the League of Assassins. He heard from her that Master Night Fortress was in the capital and had a fixed identity. She didn't expose his identity, but she was willing to help him kill Ming Feizhen.

At the time, her enthusiasm perplexed him, and he didn't suspect Ming Feizhen. Today, however, Jin Wangsun happened to reorganise the Imperial Palace's entrance and exit records. That was when he suddenly heard a song being sung, "Big Vat is stupid, Big Vat is scum, Big Vat isn't worth three coins. Big Vat is blue; Big Vat is green. The Green Vat is truly so pretty." He was so furious about the lyrics that he almost gave into his urge and leapt over the wall to kick the kid's ass, and teach him why Gold and Silver Sect was not to be trifled with.

It was then that Jin Wangsun suddenly had a revelation. The lyrics caused him to get angry with Mount Daluo and Ming Feizhen.

Jin Wangsun suddenly realised that it was true that Master Night Fortress didn't sign in, but neither did Ming Feizhen. That day was the first time he spoke with Ming Feizhen, which was why it left a deep impression on him. Ming Feizhen entered the palace and met the Emperor, so his name should've been on the records.

The question, therefore, was why was Ming Feizhen's name missing? However, he then recalled that Sisi enthusiastically offered to assassinate Ming Feizhen. All the pieces of the puzzle finally came together. The only possible reason that Ming Feizhen didn't sign in on the records was because he entered the Imperial Palace using qinggong. He finally had an epiphany; Jin Wangsun figured out the big secret. Master Night Fortress was Ming Feizhen!

Jin Wangsun frowned when he had the realisation. He still vividly remembered that day, when Master Night Fortress used a single staff to turn his entire abode on its head. While Jin Wangsun didn't go all out, he was aware that he wouldn't be able to defeat Master Night Fortress even if he did go all out. So accordingly, he knew that he was significantly inferior to Master Night Fortress. Nevertheless, he still sent assassins after him and competed with him for the Princess. Heaven knows what consequences of all of those actions would be.

But it didn't end there. On the rainy night, one of his men came in to give a report. His subordinate reported that Huo Qing'er, his fiancée, who h
