"Ha ha!" Bai Yunfei laughed loudly, no longer provoking Luo Yan, and directly threw the Handkerchief in the direction where Luo Yan was sitting.
Before the Handkerchief could float over, Luo Yan leaped up, caught the Handkerchief in his hand, and tucked it away on his body. He threatened Bai Yunfei, "You better not steal my things again, or I will expose your identity!"
"Go ahead! I don't care anyway!" Bai Yunfei rested his arms behind his head, leaning against the tree trunk, with his legs dangling from a branch and swaying leisurely.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at the two of them and said, "Alright! Stop messing around! Tomorrow we will start our plan against the Zheng Family. Bai Yunfei and I will go to the mine and find a way to provoke the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Zheng Family to fight harder, making a bigger scene to wear them down."
"What about this guy? We did save him after all; he can't just stand by, right?" Bai Yunfei said, nodding towards Luo Yan.
Ling Mo Xie smiled, stood up, and patted Luo Yan on the shoulder. Luo Yan turned to look at Ling Mo Xie with a cold expression and said before Ling Mo Xie could speak, "You did save me. Just tell me what you need help with!"
"Then you should go with Hong Chi to Zheng Manor and lure that Zheng Zhongtian out for a beating! He will definitely seek help from friends and family within his clan; you just need to deal with the people he brings along. As for him... just let him go! If he realizes your true intentions, it won't be too late to kill him then!"
Ling Mo Xie said with narrowed eyes and a cheerful smile, sounding more like he was discussing something fun rather than assigning a serious task.
"Got it!" Luo Yan replied succinctly with a nod while crossing his arms.
"Great! I've never liked that Zheng Zhongtian! Big Ice Block, you have to let me handle him!" Hong Chi said excitedly, holding a skewer of bright red candied fruit and looking up at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan's cold face twitched slightly as he looked down at Hong Chi and said, "Why do you call them brothers but have to call me Big Ice Block?"
"Who told you to always be so cold and rude?" Hong Chi rolled his eyes at him, turned around to find a big tree, flicked his fingers, and ignited a large hole in the tree. He quickly climbed inside and said, "Good night!"
Soon enough, night passed, and the sun's rays shone upon the earth once again.
Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei arrived near the mining vein before dawn and hid behind a small hill. Before long, they saw two groups of people approaching from the same direction, both looking at each other with disdain.
"Are these their miners?" Ling Mo Xie frowned and asked. The miners were supposed to be laborers; how could their cultivation levels be at least in the early stages of Lingxu? That shouldn't be right!
"Hey hey!" Bai Yunfei smirked with a mocking smile, chuckling a few times before saying, "Ordinary miners naturally wouldn't have such high cultivation levels. Didn't I already say? The big shots from both families are constantly negotiating, while there's fighting going on here at the mine. How could they send ordinary miners?"
"Then who are these people?" Ling Mo Xie nodded and continued to ask Bai Yunfei. He couldn't believe that the young masters from the Big Family would come to mine!
"From the City Lord's Mansion, of course, they are soldiers! On the Zheng family's side, there are family members who have served as Zheng family's servants for generations, along with some less favored young masters and collateral relatives. Did you see the one leading them? That's the second son of the Zheng family head, who volunteered to come here. Hmph! Isn't it just because he's eyeing these fire-attributed spirit stones?"
Bai Yunfei pointed at the two groups and explained to Ling Mo Xie. In this short time, the two groups had already approached.
"Zeng Li, what's wrong? Are we going to compete again today?" Zheng Rong, leading the Zheng family, said disdainfully to the officer from the City Lord's Mansion.
Zeng Li was actually a captain in the city guard and had the same cultivation level as Zheng Rong, being at the mid-stage of the Qi Refinement realm. He wasn't afraid of Zheng Rong; his fierce eyes widened as he shouted loudly, startling some pampered young masters behind Zheng Rong.
"Hmph! Young Master Zheng, who doesn't know that your Zheng family relies on the sect's influence to drag out negotiations, trying to take advantage of this time to mine more spirit stones? If you want to fight, then come! Old Zeng isn't afraid of you!"
The Zheng family knew they couldn't compete with the official power of the City Lord's Mansion, but that didn't stop them from dragging out time to gain a little advantage.
This was common knowledge, but for Zeng Li to say it in front of Zheng Rong made him feel somewhat embarrassed. Channeling his spiritual energy, a gust of wind rushed toward Zeng Li.
Seeing that the two were fighting while other soldiers and Zheng family members gathered around to watch, Ling Mo Xie smirked and muttered to himself, "It's time!"
A fire clone skill instantly appeared behind Zeng Li's soldiers and launched a Fireball toward the watching Zheng family members.
"Bang!" A shocked Zheng family disciple watched as a fireball emerged from among the City Lord's Mansion soldiers and struck him directly since he couldn't defend in time, leaving him severely injured.
The other Zheng family disciples were momentarily stunned upon seeing this situation before quickly reacting.
One Zheng family disciple shouted loudly, "What the hell! The City Lord's Mansion people actually dared to attack us? Brothers! Let's kill them! I've been fed up with them for a long time!"
The crowd was furious, and the members of the Zheng Family went wild, unleashing spells at the soldiers of the Lord's Mansion.
The soldiers of the Lord's Mansion were taken aback. Who on earth was so undisciplined as to attack the Zheng Family members without authorization?
But there was no time for them to think too much about it now. With so many spells coming their way, if they didn't fight back, they would surely be wiped out!
With no other choice, the soldiers of the Lord's Mansion also gathered their Spiritual Energy and cast spells in response to the Zheng Family members.
Meanwhile, Zeng Li, who was fighting Zheng Rong, paused for a moment as he noticed what was happening with the soldiers. How did it escalate into a full-blown fight so quickly?
Zheng Rong, however, sneered. His father had always advised him not to escalate matters and to keep things under control. So although both sides often clashed, there hadn't been many casualties.
But after working alongside Zeng Li in mining for a long time, their conflict had deepened significantly. Normally, he could hold back while thinking of his father's words, but now it wasn't like he was intentionally trying to escalate things!
Ling Mo Xie squinted and smiled as he observed the situation. Just as he was preparing to withdraw after achieving his goal, he suddenly heard the system notification: "Ding! Kill... gained... 10,000 Experience Points."
Ling Mo Xie paused. Experience Points? He hadn't killed any monsters. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a person named Zheng He. Could it be... that person was taken out by Fireball just now?
The mission had stated that killing a Zheng Family member of the same level would yield 50,000 Experience Points, but he hadn't expected that killing someone of a lower level would also grant points—just significantly less!
