While Le Zhengpeng hesitated, Wuyou couldn't wait to make her move. She picked up a board and smashed it hard on Lvming's head. The dull sound showed how much force she used. Lvming was so scared that she scrambled to her feet, but she still couldn't escape the clutches of the devil.

"Miss, please have mercy and forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again." Green Tea was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down her face. Her pretty little face was scrunched up as she began to cry and beg for mercy.

She never understood why such a drastic change had occurred overnight, and why Le Wuyou, who had always been kind to her, would treat her like this.

"It's too late for you to say anything now. Guards—execute this young lady." Wuyou casually threw away the board in her hand and then raised her voice in a nonchalant manner.

"How could you be so cruel, child? How could my Le family have given birth to such a cruel and heartless daughter—" At this moment, Le Zhengpeng finally came to his senses and looked at Lü Ming's tearful appearance, and couldn't help but feel angry.

Most importantly, he was speechless, which challenged his authority and embarrassed him.

"Cruel and heartless? Is this how you describe your daughter in your father's heart?" Although Wuyou suffers from emotional deficiency, she possesses Le Wuyou's memories and skills, so she can convincingly feign weakness.

She blinked, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked pitiful, completely different from her arrogant and domineering demeanor just now.

Soon, the expression on her face returned to its previous arrogance, and she said to Le Zhengpeng, "I don't care what you think, Father. As a young lady of the Le family, I have my own responsibilities. Lvming must be expelled from the Le family today and shall never be allowed to set foot in the Le family again. If you have any doubts, Father, you can go and discuss them with Mother."

Although that's what she said, Wuyou knew that Le Zhengpeng wouldn't dare to go to Bai Xuejiao. Bai Xuejiao was a woman as fiery as the sun, impulsive by nature, but her skills were no less than a man's. Since marrying into the Le family, she had always been the undisputed matriarch, and even some of the Le family's major affairs were handled and controlled by her.

Bai Xuejiao dotes on her daughter, spoiling her almost unconditionally. If Le Zhengpeng were to go looking for trouble with Wuyou, he would probably be spat in Bai Xuejiao's face.

Over the years, Le Wuyou had long since learned about her parents' past, which was nothing more than a family marriage. Even though Bai Xuejiao was favored by the family, she still couldn't escape the fate of the reason. However, she was not someone who indulged in personal feelings. She willingly married into the Le family, supported her husband, raised her daughter, and was just like other women from prominent families.

Le Zhengpeng was speechless for a long time after being choked by Wuyou's words. His old face turned red, but Wuyou didn't care about his feelings at all. He gestured for him to leave, clearly indicating that he was being asked to leave.

Le Zhengpeng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a deep, lingering black haze. He angrily flung his sleeves and left.

Wuyou remained calm, waving her hand behind her. A scream of agony followed, sending chills down everyone's spine. She believed that with Green Ming and the restless ones driven away, the Le family would be more united. Of course, driving Green Ming and the others away was only the first step; she still had much to do.

Looking at the calluses on his palms, Wuyou couldn't help but clench his fists. Power—no matter what situation in the world, it is of paramount importance. As long as one possesses power, one has the ability to control one's own destiny.

She is no longer the Tang Wuyou who had only alchemy talent but no martial arts skills; now she is Le Wuyou, the eldest daughter of the Le family.

Upon returning to his room, Wuyou dismissed all the servants. Having witnessed the fate of Lvming and the others, they naturally dared not harbor any disloyal thoughts.

After carefully examining his current body, Le Wuyou had to admit that his talent for martial arts was quite good, and his physical foundation was also good. In addition, with the strong support of his family, he had taken a lot of useful medicinal herbs and pills, and now he was only half a step away from becoming a grandmaster.

A half-step Grandmaster in his early twenties is enough to overshadow a large number of geniuses. But that alone is not enough. Ye Fan's potential is immeasurable, and a mere half-step Grandmaster is no match for him. If she wants to take revenge on Ye Fan and Green Tea, she must become even stronger.

That night, the night rain was slightly cool, and the whole Le family was filled with a faint smell of blood that lingered for a long time.

The carefree courtyard was completely silent, with only the warm yellow light visible. The room was filled with a misty atmosphere, accompanied by a faint bitter smell.

At this moment, Wuyou was sitting cross-legged inside a huge wooden barrel, covered in a black, viscous substance. Her eyes were closed and her lips were pressed tightly together, and she did not make a sound. However, from her slightly pale lips, one could tell how much pain she was enduring.

She was well-versed in the arts of alchemy and traditional Chinese medicine, so conditioning her own body was a piece of cake. After instructing her servants to give her what she wanted, she couldn't wait to begin her medicinal bath. This was a secret recipe that Wuyou had painstakingly developed, a closely guarded secret even within the Tang family, known only to a few old fellows like Tang Xiuyuan.

This medicine is extremely potent, capable of eliminating all impurities from the body, increasing one's cultivation level countless times, enhancing one's physical constitution, and solidifying the dantian. Unfortunately, this medicine is only suitable for a small number of people; many who tried it died as a result, which is one of the reasons why the Tang family dared not use it on a large scale.

Of all the medicines developed here, only one member of the Tang family survived within five years and became one of the pillars of the Tang family. His rise from a minor collateral descendant to one of the five elders of the Tang family is a testament to the medicine's miraculous effects.

Wuyou had carefully examined her body and found that she was quite adaptable to the medicine. Moreover, life is a gamble, and if one is always timid and afraid to move forward, then one can only live an unknown life.

So for a period of time afterward, Le Wuyou disappeared from everyone's sight, only asking the maids and servants to prepare hot water and medicine for her every day, and rarely seeing anyone else.

Le Zhengpeng was angry with Wuyou for embarrassing him, so he naturally chose to ignore her. Only Bai Xuejiao was genuinely worried about Wuyou. After learning what had happened, she didn't say much and wholeheartedly supported Wuyou.
