Hearing this question, Azure Dragon, the gang leader, realized that the situation had always been controlled by his opponent, no wonder they couldn't kill Lin Yifan.
But how did Lin Yifan achieve Copper Skin Iron Bones? He couldn't understand.
In any case, tonight's events had overturned his understanding, leaving him helpless and at a loss.
"We dare not, we dare not!" the seven "pets" replied in unison, terrified to the extreme.
Having doled out punishment, Lin Yifan thought it was best to let bygones be bygones.
These prisoners had nothing of value to pursue, and trading lives with them wasn't worth it; better to let them off the hook.
However, they could escape death, but not punishment. Lin Yifan threw the dirty quilt, pillow, and bamboo mat off the bed and explained, "From now on, you will sleep on the floor; this bed is mine."
"Damn it! This is too much!" Azure Dragon cursed silently, his hatred for Lin Yifan growing ever stronger.
Previously, it had always been him who treated the new inmates this way, and now it was his turn to be treated thus by a newcomer; it was truly a case of fortunes reversed, he had never imagined he would end up this way.
The underlings swallowed their grievances like a mute eating a bitter herb; they couldn't speak of their suffering. They dared not resist because they knew they were no match for Lin Yifan.
Resistance would only earn them punches, whereas enduring in silence might spare them some suffering; so it was better to be smart about it.
After spreading the bamboo mat and covering themselves with the quilt, the seven "pets" settled down on the floor to sleep.
Meanwhile, Lin Yifan also went to sleep, though he remained vigilant, ready to prevent any sneak attacks from Azure Dragon and his gang.
After tonight's failed assassination attempt, Azure Dragon no longer dared to trouble Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan was no ordinary person; this was clear to everyone. The only way to deal with Lin Yifan was to seek help from his gang leader.
Indeed, in this prison, he too had a gang leader.
His boss was the unanimously recognized leader of all the inmates in the prison, and no one dared to disrespect him. This was a truly awesome figure, who also possessed the special constitution of Copper Skin Iron Bones, just like Lin Yifan.
In any case, you couldn't beat him, nor kill him; it was that simple.
Lin Yifan was unaware that Azure Dragon was harboring new plans. In this prison, he was fated not to live a quiet life.
A few hours later, the day brightened; by then, cell 201 was already crowded with people.
They weren't there to trouble Lin Yifan but to spectate the commotion.
The news that Azure Dragon and his underlings had been forced off the bed to sleep had already spread throughout the prison. Such explosive news naturally attracted many inmates to rubberneck, for they were very eager to see Azure Dragon's pitiful downfall.
"Poor Azure Dragon, to be bullied like that."
"Who is that guy? How come I've never seen him before?"
"Heard he's a new death row inmate that arrived yesterday!"
"What's his background? How could he manage to take down Azure Dragon's gang of arrogant and wicked people?"
"Don't know! He must be quite capable, though."
"It seems last night's wicked noises were indeed of Azure Dragon and his gang getting beaten up."
"How tragic, the former boss! Now reduced to being driven out of bed by a newcomer."
Some felt sympathy for Azure Dragon, but those who had been bullied by him before felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Never thought you bastards would have this day, it's so gratifying."
"That's the consequence of always walking by the river! If we can't deal with you, naturally someone else will,"
"Good and evil will eventually be repaid, indeed, indeed."
The sounds of movement and discussion outside the cell door woke Lin Yifan from his deep sleep.
At that moment, Lin Yifan turned his head, opened his bleary eyes, and looked toward the door.
The prisoners who had been standing at the door watching instantly felt a surge of fear and scattered, fleeing pell-mell.
They didn't dare to be remembered by Lin Yifan in ill will—after all, Lin Yifan had even dared to hit Azure Dragon, the boss, so naturally, he wouldn't care about them.
Watching the group of startled "birds" scatter in all directions, Lin Yifan shook his head, speechless.
But this was normal; Azure Dragon was one of the big shots here, and being bullied by him, one really had to be somewhat in awe of him.
The anxious movement and noise of the spectating prisoners had roused Azure Dragon and his cronies, who had been sleeping on the floor.
They immediately jumped up, put on their shoes, and prepared to go out.
This kind of hurried footsteps usually only occurred when the prison urgently summoned them, just as the bugle call in an army barracks signifies that as a soldier, you must immediately rush to the designated area to assemble.
Seeing Azure Dragon and his crew so flustered, Lin Yifan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What's the rush? Dying to be reincarnated, are you? Need a lift?"
"Brother Lin! The guards are calling us to assemble. Let's hurry out and line up," Azure Dragon replied while putting on his shoes.
"When did the guards call us to assemble?" Lin Yifan retorted.
He had woken up earlier than Azure Dragon and hadn't heard it; so how did Azure Dragon and his crew know?
"Don't know, but the hurried footsteps outside mean it must be time to assemble," Azure Dragon answered.
Those who are late will be punished, and they certainly didn't want to suffer such a fate, so it was better to follow the rules.
Lin Yifan rolled his eyes, realizing that this group of fellows had been misunderstood. Thus, he kindly explained, "Those prisoners moving about outside came to gawk at your handsome faces and premium sleeping quarters. When they saw my murderous look, they panicked and took off."
"..." Azure Dragon felt a wave of embarrassment, realizing he had been spooked.
However, thinking about it, having other inmates from different cells see him in such a sorry state meant he would likely have trouble holding his head up in front of those brothers in the future.
All of this was thanks to Lin Yifan. Without him, everything would have been fine.
Consequently, in his heart, he harbored an additional grudge against Lin Yifan.
After washing up, brushing their teeth, and eating breakfast, they were hustled out to work.
In prison, there was no comfort; there was work to be done all day long.
Actually, this was quite normal—the state couldn't support these criminals for nothing. This was a place for detaining inmates; you had to suffer here, only by experiencing hardship could these criminals understand how beautiful the world outside is, so as to achieve a state of self-restraint and self-improvement.
Azure Dragon, already at the work site, had braced himself for the mockery, as his incident from the previous night had spread far and wide, and certainly, many a sworn enemy would laugh at him; mockery was inevitable.
At the same time, he was also looking for the prison boss's figure, hoping to gain the boss's assistance.
Weeding under the scorching sun was a task fit only for prisoners.
They didn't want to do it, but compelled by the guards, they had no choice but to stiffen their resolve and work under the psychological pressure.
Fortunately, Lin Yifan was protected by his Cultivation Power, otherwise, it would have been tough.
