Even the most meticulous planners can overlook things, and everything has its flaws. Dao Chengyi, whose lifespan is only about forty years, would never have imagined that his own maid could sell him off just by going out the door.

"It seems that my future junior brother is indeed exceptionally talented."

A faint voice sounded behind Qing Teng, and then she felt her body relax and be placed back in the passageway outside, unable to see what the person looked like.

"Go back home obediently. You'll be useful in the future. After all, that's how women without status are; they have no say in anything."

Upon hearing this, Qing Teng looked around in a panic, but was unable to locate the other person, so he could only hurriedly leave with the food box.

After leaving the martial arts school, Qing Teng knew that her future was going to be terrible. If Dao Chengyi found out that she had revealed the information to others, even the most good-natured person would probably kill her.

What to do? What to do? Should I run away? No, running away will definitely mean death. Without identification, without power, and only possessing passable beauty, I'll definitely die a horrible death!

So, should we tell Young Master Daocheng about this? No, that won't work either; I'll definitely be beaten to death. And if I become an informant? I'll be killed to silence that too!

Qing Teng's mind was in turmoil. She realized that no matter how she looked at the situation, she was trapped in a dead end, and the reason was that she had no power and could only go with the flow.

It's all Dao Chengyi's fault for being so outstanding now. Why can't he just be an ordinary person? Does he have to be a genius and be envied by everyone?!

This thought slowly surfaced, and she felt the injustice of fate. Why was she, the daughter of a fourth-rank official, reduced to a maid because she had no talent, while the lowest person in the village could rise up and even become the subordinate of someone with exceptional talent? How unfair!

Qing Teng clenched his fists, looked at the martial arts school behind him with hatred in his eyes, and finally lowered his head and chose to go back.

In an unnoticed corner next to the martial arts school, a woman wearing a long skirt without underwear smiled slightly, because she knew that Qing Teng's matter was settled.

"After all, only women understand women, but unfortunately, men are always more gifted at it."

With a neat ponytail, a tight-fitting, stain-resistant black dress, and a dashing tan, Mu Qinghong, the fifth senior sister of the martial arts school and also the attendant of the third young master, returned to the school.

But as someone from the same faction, this senior sister might not necessarily be able to foresee another person with exceptional talent emerging later.

"That snake still loves to use poison. I was thinking of reminding this future colleague, but now I have to curb the development."

"Hmm, let's add another charge against that idiot while we're at it."

Mu Qinghong left silently, preparing to pass on the latest news to someone.

As she acted, a message also emerged from a series of coincidences and unintentional events, eventually reaching Yin Liujiao, who was drinking alone in silence.

At this moment, Yin Liujiao was drinking in her house. Not long ago, the words of the beggar boy in the kidnapping case had influenced Yin Liujiao.

The city defense captain was furious about this and wiped out the gangs in the north of the city. Countless white-gloves were forced to release beggar children and other children who had not yet been harvested.

Among them, the eldest son's faction was swept away and imprisoned, because the source of the beggar child was the eldest son's faction.

Being suspected by the victims was bad enough, but having his own faction implicated was even worse. Yin Liujiao swore that if she could do it all over again, she would never be greedy for credit and join in the fun.

Similarly, because of this incident, he became even more jealous of Dao Cheng. He blamed this country bumpkin, saying that if he hadn't shown his high talent, none of this bad things would have happened to him.

"Damn it, since that kid doesn't know what's good for him, let's cripple him! Then we'll find a chance to kill him!"

She suddenly threw a vat of wine against the wall, and the snake scales on Yin Liujiao's exposed skin became even more detailed and obvious.

The third young master must be crippled, and that country bumpkin must die!

With this thought in mind, Yin Liujiao smiled sinisterly, but the laughter didn't last long before a message from her confidant arrived.

There are about twenty townships under Qingmang City, and each of these townships has dozens of villages. Naturally, the benefits won't just come to those who don't know what's inside.

The Mu family opened a martial arts school to train a vital force to guard and expand their businesses and industries in various places. Yin Liujiao is a student of the martial arts school. Her previous second senior brother and the previous martial arts school master died in this process. Now she is the new second senior brother and is also on the same path.

Her trusted confidants were neither from the martial arts school nor from other martial arts schools in the city, but rather people that Yin Liujiao had personally trained!

"What's up?"

Yin Liujiao's confidant was a slightly younger boy whose physique resembled Yin Liujiao's. He was also respectfully reporting information.

"What? You're saying that country bumpkin figured out we bribed the housewife? And he can even detect food toxins?"

After hearing her confidant's message, Yin Liujiao was stunned. How could someone who wasn't even a martial artist detect a specially prepared poison?

"Yes, this information was confirmed by that maid."

The confidant bowed his head to confirm, which showed that he was somewhat certain of the information's authenticity.

"Is it possible that the maid was lying? After all, it was given to her by that third young master."

Yin Liujiao seemed to be under stress at this moment, becoming somewhat cautious about this kind of information.
