Chapter 14

It's Time To Get Even! [新账旧账一起算! Xīn Zhàng Jiù Zhàng Yī Qǐ Suàn!] is the fourteenth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Huang Xiaoyan mentions that it is no wonder she always ends up entangled with Ye Yan, since they are colleagues and would thus naturally conflict with each other. She then calls him a "Gong Player", which is the most derogatory term used to refer to a Nightwatcher. Enraged, Ye Yan remarks that he can tolerate her beating him, insulting him, forcing him to kneel, mooching and causing troubles for him, but disparaging the Nightwatcher name is the bottom line. He then calls her a "Half Sage", the most derogatory term for an Untitled Sage, which makes Huang Xiaoyan furious. As the two prepare to fight, Wang Shengli is seen spectating them from a nearby building's roof while being accompanied by Wuren. He mentions both guardians' feats and considers them equal in strength to each other.

The two then begin to brawl, with Ye Yan immediately being overpowered by Huang Xiaoyan in hand-to-hand combat, causing him to suffer heavy injuries and fall onto the ground. Wuren remarks that the two don't seem to be equals to a shocked Wang Shengli. Ye Yan mentions that it is impossible to win against Untitled Sages in fist fights. He then hears his Flag Demons cheering him on from a nearby building's roof, causing him to berate them for being disloyal and fleeing when the fight began. The Flag Demons reaffirm their fear of Untitled Sages and say that they will emotionally support their master. Huang Xiaoyan then walks up to the downed Ye Yan and states that she absolutely hates being lied to before cracking her knuckles and declaring that she will send him to the hospital for five days to get even.
