The ratio of prison guards to prisoners is disproportionate, which inevitably gives prisoners the opportunity to slack off because you can't observe every prisoner's actions across the entire field with just one pair of eyes.

Thus, Azure Dragon's archenemy quietly approached him.

After some time, they finally reached his side.

At that moment, they started to mock him, "Old Dragon Turtle, heard you got beaten up last night, is that true?"

Azure Dragon didn't want to talk to them and continued quietly pulling weeds.

However, his rival wouldn't let him off so easily and continued, "Boss Turtle, don't keep it all bottled up. If you've got troubles, just speak up. Share it with your brothers; maybe we can help you out."

"Alright! If you guys really want to help, just get rid of that kid for me," Azure Dragon responded.

"So, Old Dragon Turtle, you really did get beaten up last night, huh?" Azure Dragon's archenemy could not help but snicker.

At that moment, Azure Dragon replied, "Asking what you already know!"

He had long known that this group meant no good, so he just endured.

"Oh man! Old Dragon Turtle, weren't you supposed to be tough? When did you become so lame, getting beaten by a mere kid?" his rivals sarcastically taunted him indirectly.

"Why don't you give it a try and find out?" Azure Dragon didn't want to say much.

Only those who had tried knew how tough Lin Yifan was, how freakish.

"Why should we bother? We have no beef with him. But you, why is your face so swollen, and why are there so many palm imprints on it? Don't tell me it's from falling off the bed," his rivals continued mocking him without falling for any tricks.

"If I said yes, would you believe me?" Azure Dragon countered.

"Of course not. How would there be palm imprints on your face from falling off a bed? If anything, there would only be abrasions from sand," they responded.

"Then why are you asking such nonsense?" Azure Dragon angrily questioned, becoming quite heated.

"We're just curious, just want to know, Old Dragon Turtle. Why are you getting so angry?" the archenemy of Azure Dragon coldly asked, seeing the effect of their taunting.

"Fuck your mother, bottom feeders, Bald Strong, Lotus Ming, let me tell you, show some respect or I'll end you," Azure Dragon threatened menacingly, pointing at his rivals.

These people were just too detestable; he couldn't tolerate such malice.

"Oh dear! We're so scared, Boss Turtle, can't you be nicer to us?" Cheap Shot, Bald Strong, and Lotus Ming mocked, struggling to hold back their laughter.

This was the biggest joke they'd heard in their lifetime. If Azure Dragon had the strength, he would have attacked them long ago instead of waiting until now.

"What are you heads bobbing and whispering about? Don't feel like working, is that it?" a guard armed with a rifle angrily asked.

Letting these criminals out to work, without carrying some form of threatening weapon, it would be challenging to control this restless group of prisoners wanting to flee.

"Officer, it's a misunderstanding, we were working!" the archenemy of Azure Dragon explained.

Here, they dared not offend the prison guards, lest they endure beatings or bullets.

"Then get back to work seriously and stop chatting!" the guard threatened.

He knew the identities of these few people; they were prison leaders, each dominating a territory, looking down on each other, causing frequent friction. This made their job very difficult and increased their workload; therefore, they disliked these four leaders.

However, these individuals were from the underworld, and some were not on death row and had the possibility of release, so they didn't dare to take extreme actions, to avoid trouble from them once they got out.

"Okay, okay!" Slutty Spirit, Bald Qiang, and Lotus Ming all politely responded and dared not defy.

After the guard left, they despised the Azure Dragon boss with a glance and then walked away.

Anyway, the purpose had already been achieved. Continuing further would just waste physical energy and words.

Azure Dragon boss secretly cursed—he really wanted to kill these ignorant prison bosses; but before the appeal results came out, he had better behave, or else he would really be committing a death penalty offense.

Furthermore, the reason he was called 'Turtle Boss' was that he was very capable of enduring silently; often bullied, he dared not respond but would instead strike at enemies from the shadows, a typical sinister petty man; thus, over time, he became known as Turtle Boss, the person in prison best able to "turtle up."

On the other hand, Lin Yifan was also under siege, and many inquired about his identity, name, and origin.

This was a typical attempt at networking, different from the mockery of Azure Dragon boss.

Lin Yifan responded with a smile, only giving them his surname, and did not respond much to other questions.

Seeing that Lin Yifan was not welcoming them, those who wanted to flatter or make connections quickly left, not daring to bother Lin Yifan anymore, fearing they might get beaten up.

After these people left, Lin Yifan finally got some peace.

After squatting for a long time, one's legs would feel numb and sore, and although protected by cultivation power, it was still uncomfortable.

At that moment, Lin Yifan stopped what he was doing, looked around, and rested for a bit.

Suddenly, he saw a figure seated in meditation under a tree's shade.

This figure was wearing the same prison clothes as him, but why could he sit in the shade to stay cool and Lin Yifan could not?

He was puzzled.

However, although distant, he faintly sensed a wave of cultivation power coming towards him.

"He is a cultivator!"

This was Lin Yifan's first reaction, for cultivation power was the only criterion to distinguish common people from cultivators.

In other words, a person possessing cultivation power must surely be a cultivator. The distant figure had it, which showed he was a cultivator.

Encountering a cultivator in prison, Lin Yifan's heart was shocked; because cultivators usually were proud and unwilling to be confined, they would definitely try by all means to escape from prison.

Yet, this prisoner cultivator did not flee, making Lin Yifan wonder what he was planning.

Lin Yifan felt this person must be up to something, and it was necessary to stay alert.

As Lin Yifan sensed his own breath, the figure also sensed Lin Yifan's presence.

As soon as Lin Yifan utilized his cultivation power, he would emit a cultivation aura.

The cultivation aura drifted with the wind and spread through the air, traveling a long distance; therefore, the figure seated under the tree also detected Lin Yifan's cultivation aura.

The person slowly opened his eyes, looked over here, and stared at Lin Yifan for a long time without speaking.

After a while, he closed his eyes again and continued meditating.

This unusual reaction was naturally noticed by the observant Lin Yifan.
