“Master! Why are you so useless? Our son has already been killed! What are you still hesitating for?” The woman cried out, her voice shaking the heavens, addressing the Zheng Family Patriarch.
The Zheng Family Patriarch sat heavily in his chair, constantly sighing, clearly weighing how to handle the situation. Meanwhile, the woman relentlessly rushed at him, continuing to lament, “Master! Just tell me! Was he really your son? Your own son is dead, and you still want to swallow your anger?”
Faced with the woman's accusations, Zheng Rulin felt some guilt. He remembered how Zheng Rong had been raised under his knees since childhood, obedient and sensible. A surge of resentment and anger welled up in his heart, but then he thought of the City Lord's Mansion behind this matter; even the Great Luo Sect could not compare. What power did he have to fight back?
Just as he was hesitating, a servant suddenly reported from outside that the Lord of the City had arrived.
A flash of rage crossed Zheng Rulin's face. How could he still have the face to come here?
But soon he regained his composure and said to the woman who was still crying beside him, “You can leave now!”
“Master, our son...”
“Enough! I know! He was just your son, not mine? I won't feel heartbroken?” Zheng Rulin said impatiently, waving his hand for a maid nearby to take the woman away.
At that moment, Feng Yiqin walked in with a false smile on his face and said, “Oh! Brother Zheng, I heard from far away that your place is quite lively. What’s going on?”
Just a moment ago furious, Zheng Rulin now wore a “sincere” smile and responded with feigned politeness, “Oh! What wind blew Brother Feng here?” His tone was light, but there was clearly disdain and anger in his eyes.
Zheng Rulin invited Feng Yiqin to take a seat of honor. After exchanging pleasantries, Feng Yiqin finally picked up his teacup, lightly blowing on the tea to cool it down while casting a glance at Zheng Rulin and saying, “Brother Zheng, regarding the mine issue, don’t you think it’s time to rein them in?”
“Bang!” The teacup in Zheng Rulin's hand was crushed by him in an instant, tea splattering everywhere. His face turned ashen; however, he forced a smile and replied perfunctorily, “It seems Rong Er and the others are ungrateful and have angered the City Guards. Don’t worry, Brother! I will definitely rein them in!”
Feng Yiqin nodded in satisfaction and was about to say something else when Zheng Rulin preemptively said, “Brother, I’m feeling a bit unwell today. If there’s anything else, let’s discuss it another day!” His tone was somewhat stiff as he tightly clenched his hands resting on his lap.
Seeing Zheng Rulin like this, Feng Yiqin smiled but didn’t think much of it. He merely assumed that Zheng Rulin had taken his warning to heart and felt displeased. He secretly mocked and looked down upon Zheng Rulin for being so lacking in tolerance as the head of a family.
He then tactfully took his leave.
After Feng Yiqin walked away, Zheng Rulin suddenly stood up and shouted, "Damn it! Is that dog official trying to show off his power to me? This is a threat for me to stop meddling in that mine! Damn it! Damn it! My Rong'er..." Zheng Rulin kicked a chair to pieces and began to smash things in the room in frustration.
"Haha, watching those two old men act all hypocritical is really amusing!" On the roof of the Zheng family house, Bai Yunfei covered his mouth to stifle his laughter and said to Ling Mo Xie, who was clearly also smiling.
After Ling Mo Xie found the hiding place of Bai Yunfei and the others, he came with Bai Yunfei to observe the reactions of both parties. It seemed that the effect was unexpectedly good!
Due to Ling Mo Xie's connection with the System, as long as he didn't intentionally release his aura, no one would notice him; others saw him as an ordinary person. Bai Yunfei was even less noticeable, as the Illusory Void Sect had its own methods of concealment.
Underneath the roof, Zheng Rulin was completely unaware of Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei's presence. After venting his anger for a while, he shouted, "Come here!"
"Y-Yes... what does the master command?" A trembling servant walked in; there was no way around it—his master was furious!
Zheng Rulin ignored the servant's fear and pondered for a moment before sighing and saying, "I heard that Ninth Brother has recently taken on a mission in Chiyan City. Go find him and say I have something to discuss with him. Also, bring my wife over."
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
After the servant left, a cold smile appeared on Zheng Rulin's face as he muttered to himself, "Feng Yiqin, you are just a city lord of the State of Youyun, a dog of Youyun Country, not its master! Do you really think my Zheng family is afraid of you?"
"Boss, should we give a heads-up to the people at the city lord's mansion? Among the Golden Core Stage disciples from Da Luo Sect coming to Chiyan City, there’s more than just Zheng Rucheng. What if he invites some friends? Plus, the Mo Family has a Golden Core Ancestor too. The city lord's mansion only has three Golden Core Stage people stationed there; if they aren't prepared, they might really be overthrown by the Zheng family..." Bai Yunfei turned to Ling Mo Xie after hearing Zheng Rulin's arrangements.
"Remind them? Of course we should!" Ling Mo Xie squinted his eyes and smiled as he said, "After all, the city lord's mansion is considered our ally! Even if they don't realize it..."
"So what should we do? How about I write a note and sneak it into the city lord's room?" Bai Yunfei suggested with a frown; it wouldn't be easy to remind them without exposing their identities.
"Why make it so complicated?" Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes at Bai Yunfei and said, "Follow me!"
The two quickly arrived outside the city guard's camp, where many people were patrolling.
A flame clone of Ling Mo Xie appeared in front of a City Guard squad patrolling a remote area, under the puzzled gaze of Bai Yunfei.
"Who are you? This is a military restricted area; you should leave immediately!" The Squad Leader of the small team shouted sternly at Ling Mo Xie.
At this moment, Bai Yunfei also appeared beside Ling Mo Xie and said with confusion, "What are you doing? Aren't you exposing your identity like this?"
"Exactly! So what if I expose my identity? Zheng Xiaoji, I, Zheng Dai, cannot stand the actions of their city lord's mansion. They clearly killed the Second Young Master and still dare to come here to show off? I want revenge!" Ling Mo Xie did not respond to the Squad Leader's words but loudly declared to Bai Yunfei, not in a hurry to take action.
Bai Yunfei was taken aback. What was this Zheng Xiaoji and Zheng Xiaoji about? What was Ling Mo Xie talking about?
Turning his head, he saw that the City Guards were also surprised, mouths agape, as they gathered their Spiritual Energy to attack Ling Mo Xie, suddenly realizing what was happening.
Then one of them spoke up, "Forget it; the head of the family has already contacted Ninth Master for a solution! That little city lord will definitely be captured by Master later and thoroughly tortured for revenge!"
Ling Mo Xie quietly gave Bai Yunfei a thumbs up and winked, but then shouted indignantly, "Don't stop me! I want to avenge the Second Young Master!"
At that moment, the City Guard's attacks were already flying toward Ling Mo Xie. He responded with a Life Drain; as the soldiers' attacks landed on him, his Life Drain enveloped all the soldiers except for the Squad Leader, instantly replenishing his lost life.
The soldiers' cultivation levels were already lower than Ling Mo Xie's; they lost half their life in an instant. As soon as the Life Drain skill ended, they were met with another skill, Slash the Sea, turning them into Ling Mo Xie's Experience Points.
