The fairy's inner demons are amazing!

Chapter 16 Face

Intersection of Chengxi Road.

"So, the Li family has no real resources, yet they still control the lives of almost all the martial artists in Jinshui County?"

Ning Xiuyang looked at Ye Yin, who was riding on the back of the white dragon with a heroic air, with surprise.

A force like the Medicine King Gang should have been someone else's prey long ago. How come they're still alive today?

Ye Yin nodded and said softly, "My Ye family may not be the most outstanding in the entire Qinzhou Prefecture, but in Jinshui County, we are undoubtedly the number one family. With the Divine Sword Manor as our backing, even the county government has to be wary of us."

"Besides Magistrate Zhou of the county government and my Ye family, there are several other major forces in the county. The strongest one should be the Great Sword Society. Its leader is a Qi Sensing Realm cultivator and is known for his skill with a great sword. Behind it is the Wang family. The son of the Wang family's patriarch is cultivating at Yunlu Immortal Abode. In recent years, he has tried to rival my Ye family, but in the end, he is inferior."

"The second is the White Horse Gang, which is a dock gang that controls the canal and land transportation in Jinshui County, and is backed by my Ye family."

"The third should be the branch of the Sword-Drawing Sect. The Sword-Drawing Sect is a Jianghu sect located in Heyang County, north of Qinzhou City. The sect's strength is slightly inferior to that of my Divine Sword Manor. The two sects have often fought each other. In order to keep an eye on each other, my Divine Sword Manor also has a branch in Heyang County."

"As for the rising stars of the Medicine King Gang, there are no experts in the gang. They are just a bunch of scoundrels who dig in the mud in the deep mountains all year round. The reason why they have been able to survive peacefully until now is because Li Yunping became my guard captain. The Li family supplies my Ye family with at least five secret herbs, fifteen precious herbs, and more than thirty great herbs every month at half price. That's why we have this peace."

"The Spirit Sunflower Grass you ate a few days ago was supplied to our Ye family by the Medicine King Gang this month."

……

……

"Chief, news has spread that the Medicine King Gang is about to change hands! This is fantastic news! If we can control those medicine masters of the Medicine King Gang, our Great Saber Society's strength will rise to a new level, and even the Divine Sword Manor will have to defer to us!"

South of the city.

In the council hall of the Big Sword Society's headquarters, a man in a long robe, holding a folding fan and gently waving it, stood in front of the gang leader, Wang Tianyang, and said with a smile.

"I wonder what the Li family's plans are? What are your thoughts, strategist?"

Wang Tianyang, the leader of the Big Knife Society, is the cousin of the head of the Wang family. With the support of the Wang family, he developed the Big Knife Society into one of the top gangs in Qinzhou City.

The Medicine King Gang, a newly risen force with little foundation, had long coveted this opportunity.

However, since the son of the gang leader is at Shenjian Manor and is also the personal bodyguard of Miss Ye, the matter has been delayed for a long time, for fear of causing a full-scale conflict between the Wang and Ye families.

Now the Li family has taken the initiative to attack the Medicine King Gang, and their eldest son was killed by the Ye family without authorization.

This is clearly the perfect opportunity for the Big Knife Society to swallow up the Medicine King Gang.

The man in the long robe chuckled, "At this juncture, no tricks will work. Brute force will prevail. Whoever is stronger and more powerful has the most right to swallow up the Medicine King Gang. If we can join forces with Zhou Xiuwang of the Sword-Guiding Sect's branch, we can use the profit-sharing as bait. With our two families united, and the Ye family having offended the Li family, the Divine Sword Manor won't be able to get involved. The Medicine King Gang will be within our grasp!"

Wang Tianyang narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "I trouble the strategist to go and meet with Zhou Xiuwang of the Sword-Drawing Sect."

"Yes."

"Men, gather fifty skilled fighters and head to the Medicine King Gang in the east of the city!"

……

As news of the Medicine King Gang's change of ownership spread throughout the city, various factions rose up in response.

The Wang Family Big Sword Society, the Sword-Drawing Sect, and others were almost all like hyenas that had smelled their prey.

And this moment.

The main hall of the Li family mansion.

Ye Yin, dressed in a flamboyant dress, had a calm and composed expression. She showed no remorse for Li Yunping's death and sat down as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

in the courtyard.

The corpse on the carriage had not yet closed its eyes.

Seeing his beloved son lying there, Li Huailin could only suppress his anger. His fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, and his bloodshot old eyes blazed with deep-seated hatred as he glared at Ye Yin and snarled, "Sixth Miss Ye, you killed my beloved son and even broke into my home. Are you trying to humiliate the Li family by saying we have no one to stand up for us?"

Ye Yin remained calm, glanced at him, and said, "Chief Li, I respectfully address you as Chief. Ever since your son became my bodyguard, he has been arrogant and domineering, repeatedly disregarding me as the head of the family. Not to mention that, he even dared to steal the core martial arts techniques of my Ye family. If you were in his shoes, I may ask, would you kill him or not?"

At this moment, Ye Yin was also feeling somewhat flustered and uneasy.

Although Li Yunping was not very disciplined, if he were just an ordinary nobody, he would have been killed without hesitation.

The problem is that he is the eldest son of the Li family.

Although the Li family was small in power, since they integrated the medicine merchants and established the Medicine King Gang, they had become a rising star in Qinzhou City, and they had always been quite respectful to the Ye family.

As the host, they should come over and give an explanation.

However, the Ye family held a superior position, so the so-called explanation became a demand for justice.

It's due to strength.

However, this person was killed by the servant Ning Xiuyang, yet he has to take the blame!

"But he's my son!"

Li Huailin stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at Ye Yin.

The roar did not frighten Ye Yin.

Her cultivation had already reached the Qi Sensing stage, so how could Li Huailin, who had not yet entered the martial arts path, be easily intimidated?

Ye Yin, who was always proud and arrogant, suddenly became angry.

Apart from the servants, who in the entire Qinzhou Prefecture would dare to speak to me like that?

She immediately snorted and lightly slapped the table, which suddenly trembled and cracks appeared like a spider web.

"It's precisely because he's your son that I personally delivered myself to your door; otherwise, Chief Li would be out in the mass graves outside the city searching for corpses by now!"

"What if I kill someone who disrespects my master?"

"Since Chief Li wanted to use the power of my Ye family, he should have been prepared long ago."

"Disrespectful to the master, stealing the master's treasures, and harboring murderous intent towards the master after being discovered—how would Chief Li deal with such a guard?"

"I am not talented, but I am still the sixth young lady of the Ye family. Not to mention Jinshui County, in the entire Qinzhou, who dares to slap the face of my Ye family? Shouldn't Chief Li give my Ye family some face?"

pat!

As soon as Ye Yin finished speaking, the octagonal table next to her suddenly shattered into pieces and collapsed to the ground with a crash.

Li Huailin frowned, startled by Ye Yin's imposing aura, and took two steps back before collapsing onto the armchair.

Ning Xiuyang, Ye Yin's newly appointed captain of the guard, stood respectfully behind Ye Yin, watching the scene with an indifferent expression.

Faced with Li Huailin's anger, Ye Yin not only remained calm and composed, but even turned the tables on him.

This inevitably surprised him somewhat.

But then I thought about it again. After all, she was the apple of the Ye family's eye, and after more than ten years of upbringing, she naturally had an air of nobility about her.

The reason she acts like a servant in front of me is simply because I hold her fate in my hands.

Once her lifeline is gone, she'll probably become a hundred times more arrogant than she is now and kill herself.

Ning Xiuyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems I'm destined to go down this cunning path of no return!

Ye Yin's domineering attitude made Li Huailin feel as if he had lost his parents.

And just then...

Suddenly, a person rushed in.

As he passed Ye Yin and Ning Xiuyang, the man first glanced at Ye Yin, then frowned and stared at Ning Xiuyang. He continued until he reached Li Huailin in front of the hall before withdrawing his gaze. Then he leaned close to Li Huailin's ear and whispered a few words.

Although it was a whisper, Ye Yin, with his profound cultivation, twitched his ears, then frowned and his face turned cold.

"Master, I've found out that the person who killed the Second Young Master wasn't Miss Ye, but her new steward and head guard, Ning Xiuyang. This man was originally a stable boy in the Ye household. Furthermore, the Second Young Master didn't steal any treasures; he merely questioned Miss Ye's appointment of Ning Xiuyang, and yet he died by this scoundrel's sword. But the sword belongs to the Sixth Young Master."
