<h4>Chapter 1529: Chapter 1526: Beauty, You’re Just a Pawn in Their Game</h4>


    The young man speaking was Li Yue, a member of the grandson generation of the Li Family, and usually had no sense of presence.


    When Li Yue’s voice suddenly rang out.


    All the people from the Li Family gasped, and an unmistakable fear appeared in their eyes.


    No one expected that Li Yue, who was almost invisible on ordinary days, would dare to openly question Si Yao at this moment, even using her of bullying others with her power.


    "Senior Si Yao, my son speaks rashly, please don’t take it to heart." Li Yue’s father hurriedly bowed and saluted, his voice revealing an unmistakable tension.


    Si Yao slightly squinted her eyes, looking at Li Yue indifferently, with ayer of frost covering her beautiful face at this moment. She slightly raised her chin, and her mouth uttered cold words: "You say that I bully others with my power? What do you mean by this?"


    Li Yue, forcing down the tension in his heart, his legs trembling slightly, still mustered the courage to say: "Do you dare to go and borrow grain from Xu Wendong?"


    "Xu Wendong?" Si Yao slightly furrowed her brows, the name seemed somewhat familiar to her, yet she couldn’t immediately recall where she had heard it.


    She gently bit her lower lip, falling into contemtion.


    Li Yue continued, "Senior Han Hexiang had previously announced high-profile that he epted him as a disciple, but due to unrest in the city, the induction ceremony was not held."


    "However, many people know that before Senior Han secluded himself, he gave Xu Wendong a storage bag, containing arge number of living supplies, reportedly hundreds of thousands of pounds."


    "You keep saying it’s to borrow grain for the people in the city, in that case, you shouldn’t favor one over the other, shouldn’t just let our Six Great Families take out the surplus grain from our homes."


    "You should borrow grain from Xu Wendong! Otherwise, that would be bullying with power."


    A hint of surprise shed through Si Yao’s eyes, she didn’t expect that before Han Hexiang’s seclusion, he gave Xu Wendong so many living supplies.


    She gently brushed the hair by her ear, saying: "I will investigate this matter seriously, if what you say is true, I will naturally go to borrow grain from Xu Wendong!"


    Soon, Wang Tong brought the n leaders of the other five families to the Li Family.


    Subsequently, Si Yao mentioned the matter of borrowing grain, demanding each family to take out one hundred thousand pounds of grain to help the people in the city through the difficult times.


    Although the n leaders of the Five Major Families were somewhat reluctant in their hearts, they dared not defy Si Yao’s words.


    After all, she was a woman who was known for being upright and just, not to mention she was very much in favor with the Immortal King.


    Who would dare to defy her words?


    After discussing the matter of the Six Great Families setting up porridge stalls to provide free supplies for the people in the city, Si Yao left the Li Family with Wang Tong.


    "Camp Commander Wang, I’ve heard before that Xu Wendong has a lot of living supplies, is this true?" Si Yao casually asked, her expression stern, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.


    Wang Tong replied respectfully: "Yes, Senior Si Yao, it is true."


    Si Yao slightly shook her head, a peculiar glow appearing in her beautiful eyes, she frowned slightly, full of confusion: "Logically, this shouldn’t be the case!"


    "Even if Xu Wendong has many living supplies, his cultivation level is not high, and with the unrest in the city, how can he stay out of it?"


    Wang Tong said, "Senior Si Yao, what you don’t know is that Xu Wendong not only excels in alchemy technique but also has a deep understanding of the path of formation."


    "He set up a small array around his residence and lives in it with several women, even though there’s unrest in the city, it hasn’t affected their nightly revels at all!"


    Si Yao revealed an astonished look, clearly not expecting that Xu Wendong was also proficient in the path of formation, which made her a bit more interested in him.


    Wang Tong grew more indignant as he spoke: "Xu Wendong is utterly shameless, relying on his supplies and formation to act recklessly, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people outside."


    "I heard before that some refugees went to borrow grain, but were refused by Xu Wendong."


    "Not only that, he even demanded that in exchange for grain, he would need a fair-skinned, beautiful woman to entertain him!"


    "His despicable face is simply nauseating."


    "He’s not worthy to be called a person!"


    Upon hearing this, Si Yao’s face immediately turned grim, her eyes zing with fury.


    She previously had some interest in Xu Wendong and wanted to meet him, after all, young people proficient in both formation and alchemy are quite rare.


    But she never dreamed that Xu Wendong would be such a ruthless person.


    She gritted her silver teeth, trembling with anger, her entire body emanating a powerful killing intent: "This Xu Wendong is utterly shameless! I must go and meet this insidious and despicable dissolute person, to let him know what justice and shame are!"


    In times of chaos.


    If Xu Wendong merely refused the people’s proposal to borrow grain, she might have understood, after all, self-preservation is natural.


    However, Xu Wendong should never have suggested exchanging beautiful women for grain!


    To her, that was like eating human blood buns, truly infuriating to the extreme.


    "Camp Commander Wang, take me to Xu Wendong’s residence!" Si Yao’s eyes overflowed with overwhelming killing intent.


    "Please follow me, Senior Si Yao!" Wang Tong suppressed his excitement, gesturing with an inviting hand, then stepped onto a flying sword and soared towards the residence of Xu Wendong and others.


    Si Yao’s face was frosty, closely following behind Wang Tong.


    Along the way, the anger in her heart grew more and more intense, filled with disdain and rage toward Xu Wendong.


    Soon, they arrived at Xu Wendong’s residence.


    Zhen Jing was outside the formation, pleading bitterly, his voice filled with despair and grief.


    "Xu Wendong, let my wife go, you’ve been toying with her for over a month, please, let her have a way out, okay?" Zhen Jing’s eyes were bloodshot, his face full of pain.


    Si Yao looked at the scene before her, her gaze even colder.


    She red at the formation surrounding the residence and shouted sternly: "Xu Wendong,e out! Your shameless behavior is intolerable!"


    "Today, I will act on behalf of the heavens and take your head!"


    She originally intended to borrow grain from Xu Wendong, but upon learning of his nature, her intentions extended beyond merely borrowing grain.


    She wanted to take Xu Wendong’s head.


    At this moment.


    Xu Wendong’s figure lightlynded on the roof.


    He looked calmly at Si Yao, as well as Wang Tong and Zhen Jing beside her, a faint cold smile emerging on his face: "I thought you were all afraid of me, otherwise, why haven’t youe to trouble me for over a month?"


    "But now I see, it’s my assumption!"


    "Your fox tails have finally been revealed."


    Saying this, he looked at Si Yao, who had a tall stature and an ethereal elegance, and shed a charming smile: "Beauty, you’ve been used as a knife!"
