Having said that…

Wu Cai Immortal looked up and glanced at Liu Yiyuan, noticing that he was merely bowing his head without any reaction. He didn’t think too much of it and continued to speak:

“That new steward Zheng from Yuebaolou is upright and unwavering, with a strong-willed nature, and someone who can’t be easily bribed or flattered, not tolerating even the slightest bit of dirt in his eyes.” “I know that Lin Jing managed to get into Yuebaolou through connections.”

“So the last time he came over, I casually mentioned it.”

“I reckon Steward Zheng will likely investigate it himself.”

“If everything goes as expected, in a few days, Lin Jing should have his Pill Master Offering Priest status at Yuebaolou revoked and be forced to move out of the Inner Fang Market.”

“By then, you can look for the right opportunity and make your move.”

As he reached this point and saw that Liu Yiyuan still did not show any joy, Wu Cai Immortal further explained:

“After all…”

“Even I cannot act rashly in this Inner Fang Market, for if we alarm the authorities of the market, our Liu Clan will also suffer.”

“This is as far as I can help you.”

After Wu Cai Immortal finished speaking, Liu Yiyuan hurriedly bowed his head, anxiously saying:

“Ancestor, actually, I was also involved in this matter…”

“Hmm?”

Wu Cai Immortal suddenly lifted his head, his eyes gleaming sharply as he looked toward Liu Yiyuan.

Liu Yiyuan knew he should not have been involved in this matter and quickly bowed deeply, saying:

“When Ancestor and Steward Zheng were discussing Lin Jing, I knew that you were doing it for me… ”

Before Liu Yiyuan could finish, Wu Cai Immortal abruptly interrupted him:

“When I mentioned this matter to Steward Zheng, you should have been in the secret chamber. ”

“Who told you about it…”

As his voice trailed off.

The oppressive aura emanating from Wu Cai Immortal grew stronger.

Although he was quite indulgent with this younger generation, it was not always the case, and Liu Yiyuan’s rash involvement in his plan without Wu Cai Immortal’s knowledge had breached the clan rules.

Moreover, this further infringed upon his authority.

As the supreme authority of the Liu Clan, Wu Cai Immortal absolutely would not allow such things to happen.

“Ancestor, it was my father…” Liu Yiyuan said tremblingly.

Liu Yiyuan’s father was the one from the Liu Clan who recently advanced to Golden Core, and when he went to see Steward Zheng, he followed along and thus naturally knew about this matter.

“Hmph…” Wu Cai Immortal let out a cold snort.

“It seems that the rules of our Liu Clan are still too lenient.” Liu Yiyuan ‘thudded’ to his knees and pleaded urgently: “Ancestor, I beg you not to punish my father.”

Liu Yiyuan knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said:

“My father told me about this because he saw how much I was suffering every day and wanted to alleviate my pain.”

“In the past half-year or so, my father has always been worried about me, frequently visiting me.”

“But no matter what, I just couldn’t get over it…”

“I’ve let down my father’s expectations.”

As Liu Yiyuan spoke, his face contorted, seemingly in great agony.

“Even after my father stabilized his cultivation following his advancement to

Golden Core, he was still concerned about me and visited me several times.” “Ancestor, ever since you ordered me to go into seclusion last time…”

“During this period, aside from my father, no one else visited me in the secret chamber. ”

“And my mother, at the time of my birth, she…”

As Liu Yiyuan said this, he lifted his head, his eyes reddened, looking toward Wu Cai Immortal:

“Even you, Ancestor, haven’t seen me, Yiyuan, for a very long time.”

“If you must punish someone, please punish me.”

After finishing, Liu Yiyuan kept kowtowing to Wu Cai Immortal several times.

Liu Yiyuan’s words left the Wu Cai Immortal silent for a while.

After a long moment, Wu Cai Immortal sighed and then opened his mouth to speak:

“You may rise…”

“During this time, I did indeed neglect you.”

After Wu Cai Immortal finished speaking, Liu Yiyuan stood up and then stood there respectfully.

“Tell me, what have you been involved in?” Wu Cai Immortal asked again.

Liu Yiyuan bowed to Wu Cai Immortal and said:

“Yes, Elder Ancestor.’

He knew that the Elder Ancestor had forgiven him, and hastily began to speak:

“Ever since you, Elder Ancestor, discussed that matter with the new steward from Yuebaolou, Master Zheng, I have been keeping an eye on it, and just as Elder Ancestor said, Master Zheng indeed does not tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.”

“After he returned, he immediately began an investigation.”

“And eventually traced it back to Lin Jing, and then hosted an examination…”

“Upon learning of this, I felt somewhat uneasy.”

“So…”

“I bribed a Pill Master from Yuebaolou who was going to be assessed on the same day as Lin Jing, planning to trip him up on the day of the examination, to prevent him from passing smoothly.”

“And the date of their examination is today.”

“Just now, the Pill Master from Yuebaolou reported that he has failed, and Lin

Jing still passed the examination in the end.”

“So, after learning about this, I came to see you, Elder Ancestor.”

After hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal frowned and then continued: “Since it has already failed, what do you plan to do next?”

Liu Yiyuan was silent for a moment before he bluntly said:

“I plan to find an opportunity to lure him out of Inner Fang Market and take the chance to get rid of him.”

Wu Cai Immortal looked at Liu Yiyuan and then said:

“I don’t want you to carry out this task.”

“Or rather, you should not be the one to do it, because the Liu Clan as it stands now cannot afford the consequences.”

Liu Yiyuan looked at Wu Cai Immortal and asked: “Elder Ancestor, have you encountered some difficulty?”

“Sigh…’

Wu Cai Immortal sighed and then said:

“I won’t hide it from you, my Liu Clan is currently weak and cannot afford to provoke them.”

Liu Yiyuan was startled and quickly asked:

“Elder Ancestor, what has happened?”

“Actually, even before Master Yi Yuan formed his Golden Core, I had already started making arrangements.”

“I secretly contacted an old friend of mine and wanted him to come take over the steward position at Nanshan Market’s Yuebaolou.”

“With the two of us working together, to drive that Mister Bai out of Nanshan Market, it wasn’t impossible.”

“But somehow, that Mister Bai became aware of it and also used his connections to have this Master Zheng transferred here to Nanshan Market.” “And my old friend was transferred to a market in the north.”

“Now, without an ally and with the Li Family having not recovered from the failure to advance to Golden Core, we are in a weak position.”

“So…”

“What we need most now is patience.”

“Of course, if you are able to get rid of Lin Jing before Mister Bai and the others return, and make sure no one suspects us, I won’t stop you.”

“Remember, you may target Lin Jing, but that young miss Huang Qingling must not be provoked at any cost.”

“I understand, Elder Ancestor,” Liu Yiyuan nodded and said.

Wu Cai Immortal then voiced a warning:

“If you intend to go through with this, you must inform me in advance. Do not act rashly, and don’t repeat a blunder like this time.”

“Otherwise, I will not let you off lightly, whatever the case.”

“Yes, Elder Ancestor,” Liu Yiyuan bowed..
