The carriage slowly drove to the gate of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em> and stopped. Ye Anping opened the carriage''s curtain and handed the coachman a small bag of spirit stones, then jumped out and turned to help Pei Lianxue get down.
"Wifey, be careful..."
"Yes..." Pei Lianxue nodded slightly. After hesitating briefly, she called softly, "Thank you, hubby."
The two walked up the stone steps to the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Jiang Mansion</em>''s gate.
In front of the gate, an old man sweeping the floor saw Ye Anping approaching and stared at him with squinting eyes for a long time. When he saw the jade pendant stolen from Jiang Yu hanging at Ye Anping''s waist, his expression suddenly became confident.
"Young Master Jiang?!"
Ye Anping froze for a moment, trying to recall the name of the old man, but it didn''te to mind at all. After all, the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em> was only a marginal cannon fodder force in the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em> incident.
In an uncertain voice, he asked, "Uncle Lin?"
"Oh, dear! Young Master Jiang! I haven''t seen you for seven or eight years, I didn''t expect you to still remember me." The old man came forward and patted Ye Anping''s shoulder gently, with a smile on his face. "I remember that when you were a child, I would carry you to buy candied haws on the street. You have grown so tall in the blink of an eye."
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">I actually got it right</em>... Ye Anping smiled and nodded. "I came back as soon as I received the letter. My father..."
"Master was buried a month ago. I originally wanted to wait for you toe back before burying him. s... I''m sorry."
"Well..."
"Oh~ I forgot. Young Master, please wait a moment. All the branch leaders are in the main hall now. I will send someone to ask them toe out to greet you."
The old man leaned the broom against the door, walked in with wobbling steps, and asked a younger servant to go in and announce.
Ye Anping didn''t go in directly. He knew the current situation in the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em>.
After Jiang Tianfeng died, the branch leader Hua Qinyu wanted to "rule from behind the curtain", recing the original Jiang Yu and taking charge of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em> herself.
In the game, Jiang Yu was indeed a mere figurehead as a young master, and in theter <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon House</strong></em> incident, he, unfortunately, witnessed the BOSS battle between Feng Yu Die and Li Feng, and was hit by a huge boulder that flew away during the fierce battle between the two and crushed into a patty.
If Ye Anping remembered correctly, that woman should be in the early stage of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em>, and she had several bodyguards, also in the early stage of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em> by her side.
So, either for the sake of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em> or for his own convenience in the future, Hua Qinyu had to be eliminated.
After waiting a little at the door, the servant who had run in to bring the news suddenly ran out. He looked at Ye Anping with an anxious look, cupped his hands, and said, "Master Jiang, Madame Hua invites you toe in."
"Shouldn''t she be the oneing to greet me?"
"Well..."
"It''s okay. Wifey, let''s go."
Ye Anping shook his head and sighed, then turned around, and after ncing at his sister, he crossed the threshold.
Pei Lianxue nodded, and without saying a word, she took out her spiritual sword from the storage bag and let it dangle in her right hand.
"Hmph!"
When the servant saw this, he was struck with panic but didn''t dare to say anything. He quickly caught up with them and led the way.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Jiang Mansion</strong></em> was arge house with three main courtyards and nine small courtyards inside. Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue walked nearly a hundred steps before arriving at the main hall.
Looking at the hall full of people, Ye Anping used his spiritual sense to sweep through them. Just as he remembered, the highest level of cultivation was only in the middle stage of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Foundation Building</strong></em>.
His eyes finallynded on the face of Hua Qinyu, who was sitting on the main seat.
Seeing the sardonic smile on her face, Ye Anping smiled back.
However, when he saw the man in ck next to Hua Qinyu, his smile vanished.
?
Wasn''t that Brother Liang, his sworn brother?
Why did he meet him here?
What a coincidence.
It seemed it would take a little effort to kill Hua Qinyuter.
Ye Anping hesitated outside the main hall door, then took out his own sword from the storage bag and walked in. At the same time, he raised the jade pendant at his waist to show it to the others.
The branch leaders of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em> looked in astonishment at Ye Anping walking in with his sword. Several people quickly scanned him with their spiritual senses and couldn''t believe it when they discovered that he was actually in the early stage of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em>.
As far as they knew, Jiang Yu was sent to Master Yunshi by Jiang Tianfeng for training when he was three years old. When he came back, at eight years old, he was at the fifth or sixth level of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Qi Refining</em>. After they hadn''t seen him for only seven or eight years, not to mention he had reached the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em> stage, his temperament had also changedpletely.
Hua Qinyu looked at the sword in Ye Anping''s hand, and feeling a little ufortable, she asked, "Master Jiang? What are you..."
"Cleaning house!"
With that, Ye Anping raised the sword and pointed it at Hua Qinyu while he nced at Liang Zhu standing beside her, carefully observing his reaction.
After all, he was probably the only one present who could pose a threat to him and his sister.
Meanwhile, Liang Zhu felt like he had seen a ghost.
--<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Seven yers</strong></em> Sect shop owner, Jiang Ziya.
--The Young Master of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Hundred Lotus</strong></em> Sect, Ye Anping.
And now, there was another Young Master of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em>, Jiang Yu.
Triple personality?
Liang Zhu''s eyes lingered on Ye Anping for a split second and then sized up Pei Lianxue, who was following behind.
Back then, that girl, only at aplete <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Qi Refining</em> cultivation level, easily killed two <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em> cultivators, "the Second and the Fifth Brother".
Now that she had built the foundation, if she fought with all her strength, the odds of winning against her were not good.
Moreover, the ''triple personality'' next to her had a big shot behind him, and he couldn''t afford to offend them.
"..."
Hua Qinyu came back to her senses and asked, "Master Jiang, what do you mean, cleaning house?"
"You know it."
Ye Anping looked at the other confused branch leaders, hesitated, and said, "Since Father passed away, you''ve incorporated all the money-making jobs within the association under your <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Seven Fragrances</em> branch and gained your autonomy. What do the other branch leaders say?"
He looked at the one with the scarred face and said, "Master Chen, you were originally in charge of the cloth mill business in <strong>Duchun City</strong>, but what about now?"
Then, he looked at a schr-looking man on the other side. "Master Xu, there were originally three boats on your riverside, all staffed with the men you brought yourself. What about now?"
...
Ye Anping mentioned each person, and finally looked back at Hua Qinyu and said, "Father really made a mistake and actually handed over the livelihood of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>Dragon yer Society</strong></em> to a greedy person like you! You havepletely forgotten all about my father''s kindness to you."
Hearing these words, Hua Qinyu paled. Only then did she finally realize that "Jiang Yu" was not a joke.
Well, now that it hase to this...
She gritted her teeth and was about to speak when she heard "Jiang Yu" call softly. "Wifey, do it."
The ck-haired girl behind him instantly shed in front of her, her speed evenparable to the evasion technique of a <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Core Formation</em> stage cultivator.
Hua Qinyu''s eyes widened. "What?"
Ding--
The sound of iron striking rang out and sparks burst out an inch in front of her neck.
Liang Zhu had drawn a short sword and blocked the attack for her.
"..."
Hua Qinyu was stupefied, then widened her eyes and raised her voice to scold her. "You brat! This senior is in thete stage of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em> here. How dare you, only in the early stage of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em>, to..."
Before she could finish her words, Pei Lianxue immediately reversed her sword direction and swung it toward Liang Zhu''s neck.
In a white light, six shadow swords suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Pei Lianxue was taken aback.
Clearly, her sword hadn''t even touched Liang Zhu yet, but, as if he had been sent flying by something, he flew toward the wall to the side and smashed into it.
"Eh?"
Boom-
Liang Zhu directly smashed through the wall and flew out.
Seeing thete-stage <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Foundation Building</em> cultivator being sent flying out with a single sword strike by this little girl, Hua Qinyu''s originally furious eyes were now showing a hint of panic.
"What?!"
Hearing her voice, Pei Lianxue came back to her senses, looked at her with indifferent eyes, and raised the sword again.
Swish---
Blood spattered seven feet, staining a calligraphy hanging on the wall of the main hall with a thick red mark.
