Qingfeng Tower The former Shopkeeper, also known as Three Elders Hong Lianhua, has been living in astonishment and admiration almost every day for the past half month.
This current leader of theirs hardly resembles a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Her intellect and mindset are simply on a completely different level.
In order to showcase her abilities and talents, and to earn the respect of her senior brother Yan Laoguai, she has been putting in great effort.
Having managed Qingfeng Tower for over a decade, Hong Lianhua had always tried her best, racking her brains to run the establishment. However, she could never come up with so many excellent and feasible marketing strategies.
Alas! It must be fate; no wonder someone so young can sit on the leader's throne. There is always someone stronger out there.
Now, she finally understands that anyone who can occupy such a position is definitely not an ordinary person. In comparison, she realizes that she was truly the most incompetent one back then.
So foolish! So lacking in insight!
From now on, she vows to be loyal to this young leader, as there is still so much for her to learn from her.
In the past at Heavenly Pivot Sect, she had caused so many blunders in front of the leader and lost face multiple times. Fortunately, the leader is a magnanimous person.
"Ha—!" With this thought, Three Elders Hong Lianhua, who has already come to terms with it all, shook her head vigorously several times, hoping to maintain a clear mind moving forward.
At the same time, she reminded herself: Hong Lianhua, don't make a fool of yourself again. Otherwise, this old face will truly have no place in Heavenly Pivot Sect!
In just half a month, Qingfeng Tower has undergone tremendous changes; both inside and outside the courtyard are fresh and elegant.
In the past, it was a mix of people; today, people's hearts are naturally hard to gauge, but there is now much more cultural and artistic atmosphere. The girls inside have been trained by Ziyan to become refined talents at first glance.
Compared to when she first entered Qingfeng Tower, Ziyan now often prefers to stay here for an entire morning or afternoon.
She often privately called one or two girls to talk about life, drama, and talents. She wanted to gradually change their old concepts through her efforts, encouraging them to learn more about skills and talents so that they could become more elegant and knowledgeable.
At the same time, Ziyan came up with the idea of having them evaluate each other internally every month, selecting the most diligent and fastest-improving individuals. Of course, this was a future plan, but Ziyan aimed to motivate them to continuously move in that direction.
Next, those who could enter Qingfeng Tower were all talented individuals who could perform on stage and meet high standards.
This completely departed from the past simple and low-level mode of pure romantic escapades.
Often, Ziyan would secretly feel a bit pleased.
Through her private conversations with them, she learned that all the girls here had either been sold or had sold themselves to come in because they felt they could not change their fates, which led them to this place they deeply despised.
Time passed quickly, and Ziyan did not know that her family in Hengfeng County Town was suffering from sadness and pain.
On the day Ling Yuxuan returned to Hengfeng County Town, Zi Lao Er woke up. Once he realized he could no longer get out of bed, his mind was constantly filled with thoughts of ending his life.
Several times, when his family was not in the room, he smashed a teapot or banged his head against the bed frame, attempting to end it all.
Fortunately, his family discovered him in time each time and began to have Zhou almost constantly guard Zi Lao Er's bedside.
Half a month ago, there had been a disturbance at the Zhi Family Old Residence. After Old Man Mo arrived just in time and arranged for guards to drive those people away, the residents of the old house no longer dared to enter Zi Family Spiced Braise.
However, the old residence still often sent Deng Family's Third Son or other juniors to inquire outside the restaurant whether Zi Lao Er had gotten up. They simply refused to believe that Zi Lao Er was paralyzed and preferred to fantasize that he would suddenly get out of bed when they weren't paying attention.
This way, they could seize the opportunity to send him to the Recruitment Station, thus minimizing their losses.
After returning home, Ling Yuxuan discussed matters with Old Man Mo and asked him to inform his friend, the local magistrate, so that they could directly send an order to the Recruitment Station.
Then, the Recruitment Station sent people to the Zhi Family Old Residence and forcibly took away the two beloved grandsons of the Purple Old Man, namely Zi Xiaobao and Zi Xiaoning.
From then on, everything returned to its original state, but the harm done to Zi Lao Er could never be healed in a lifetime.
After meeting Zi Lao Er, Ling Yuxuan repeatedly felt an impulse to run to the Zhi Family's old house and wipe out all the relatives of Zi Lao Er who had committed such atrocities.
However, when he tentatively asked about Zi Lao Er, it seemed that Zi Lao Er sensed Ling Yuxuan might take further action, so he gently advised him against it.
He even told his future son-in-law that this would be the last time he tolerated the people from the old house, and from now on, he would have no further ties with them. He had already repaid what he owed. With the Zhi Family Old Residence, everything was settled.
After hearing such heartfelt persuasion and explanation from Zi Lao Er, Ling Yuxuan no longer had plans to annihilate everyone in the old house.
However, revenge was still necessary; he couldn't let those cruel scum who had almost no humanity get off so easily.
That night, Ling Yuxuan brought several Death Warriors back to the Zhi Family's old home.
This time, he did not resort to civilized intimidation.
He swiftly beat up the men in charge until they were covered in blood.
In the end, he deliberately blocked the old house's courtyard gate and set fire to it from all sides. He could spare their lives, but he needed to make a strong statement; otherwise, he knew these people would never give up their wolfish ambition to bully Zi Lao Er's family.
This fire couldn't kill them, but it would be enough for them to remember for a lifetime until they grew old and died.
After setting the fire, Ling Yuxuan and his companions stood quietly at a distance, listening to the wailing cries that sounded like ghosts howling.
Repeated warnings had failed to make those in the courtyard repent or develop a conscience. These people were truly rotten to the core and beyond redemption.
Ling Yuxuan looked on with disdain; perhaps only those who had faced imminent death could truly feel fear.
That was why he had come up with such a plan this time. He led his subordinates and waited for a long time, watching the roaring flames leap into the courtyard and onto the roof. It was not until he saw the house about to collapse that he signaled to one of his subordinates wearing a Ghost Point Mask.
The person swiftly leaped over and used a sword to clear the large stone blocking the front door, then quickly vanished in front of the gate with a teleportation move.
The people from the Zhi Family Old Residence managed to escape just one or two minutes before the house collapsed.
Immediately, they heard loud rumbling sounds behind them, followed by the old residence's yard and many walls crumbling down one after another.
The people from the old residence collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted. This feeling was no different from being caught in the Earth Dragon's Fury; the whole family had danced on the edge of life and death.
The scene was truly breathtaking. At that moment, all the cowards from the Zhi Family Old Residence were completely stunned, utterly dumbfounded!
Those who had been shouting and crying in the courtyard could no longer make a sound or shed tears.
They simply stared blankly at what had once been their grand estate, now reduced to ruins.
This time, Ling Yuxuan felt somewhat satisfied. He thought about those two grandsons who should have gone to the Recruitment Station but were forcibly taken away by officials.
Now they would have to find a way to rebuild their home. Ling Yuxuan felt content but without any joy.
Why must relatives make things so difficult for each other? In an instant, Ling Yuxuan recalled the bloody and troubling past of his own large family.
It was all too vivid! His gentle and virtuous mother, such a kind person, had also become a victim in the struggles of their large family.
And his father, who had always been lenient with his brothers—every time he thought of these things, Ling Yuxuan's heart would bleed anew.
Every time, it's always like this!
After everything had basically come to an end and there was no longer much to see, Ling Yuxuan led her subordinate and disappeared from Zijia Village, returning to Hot Spring Valley.
She jumped into the larger hot spring pool alone, fully clothed, where she had once soaked with her beloved child almost every night.
Her mind was immediately filled with memories of her. How had that little girl been managing on her own these days? Without her by her side, could she cope well?
As she thought about it, Ling Yuxuan felt an overwhelming urge to fly straight to her beloved child's side.
But when she saw her, how would she tell her about her father's current situation?
In half a month, she should be heading to the capital. Should she inform her in advance that he would also be appearing in the palace that night, and that he was prepared for it? To put it plainly, he planned to take advantage of the palace's celebration and the relaxed security to make his move and assassinate the emperor.
This was the result of discussions between Ling Yuxuan, Qin Ming, and Old Man Mo.
Although they couldn't calculate the exact odds of success, this was currently the only good breakthrough point. If they waited any longer, who knew when they would get such a good opportunity again?
After much deliberation and consideration, they ultimately decided to launch their action unexpectedly on Ling Yuxuan's birthday.
During this month, aside from protecting Ziyan's family, Ling Yuxuan spent most of her time plotting with Qin Ming and others on how to storm Ling Zhiyuan's palace.
