Dongdan Shuiyue knew that this was Dongdan Yinxiang's doing, and her hatred for Dongdan Yinxiang reached its peak:

Dongdan Yinxiang, since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust!

“Come here…” Dongdan Shuiyue beckoned to He Lancai, whispered something to her, and added two more low-grade spirit stones.

He Lancai looked down at the four low-grade spirit stones that Dongdan Shuiyue had stuffed into her hand.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the greed in her heart and nodded in agreement.

But He Lancai had only been out of Dongdan Shuiyue's room for a short while when she encountered Dongdan Yinxiang, who had a sinister smile on her face.

"What were you doing in her room?" Dongdan Yinxiang's tone sounded gentle, but it carried a deadly murderous intent.

"Reporting to Miss Yinxiang, Miss Shuiyue gave me four spirit stones and told me to change the red lanterns outside the auction house to white ones, saying that it's inappropriate for us to still have red lanterns after the young master's recent death." He Lancai was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, spreading the four low-grade spirit stones in her hand on the ground, half-truthfully.

"Change to white lanterns? Tch, Dongdan Wenhao has been dead for so long, and she only just remembered to change to white lanterns now," Dongdan Yinxiang sneered. "She's probably just putting on a show for the Sixth Elder and the newcomers."

He Lancai dared not reply and obediently knelt on the ground, waiting for instructions.

Dongdan Yinxiang chuckled a few times, her eyes darting around, and said, "However, Dongdan Wenhao is still the young master, so he can't just die so quietly. Pass down my message: the lanterns outside the auction house must be changed to white, and two more white cloaks must be added."

He Lancai looked up and glanced at Dong Dan Yinxiang with a puzzled expression, then stammered, "Yes, yes..."

Miss Shuiyue was right after all:

Once Miss Yinxiang learns of this matter, she will definitely rush to issue the order in her name.

He Lancai began to understand why Dongdan Shuiyue was more valued than Dongdan Yinxiang in the Dongdan family.

Because Dongdan Yinxiang is truly stupid!

Two hours later, at Vulture's Courtyard.

After receiving a message from the informant staking out outside the auction house, Bai Yusheng hurried to Ji Fengyao's residence and reported through the door, "Miss, the lanterns outside the Dongdan family's auction house have been changed to white."

Ji Fengyao had just coaxed Xiao Shisan to sleep.

Hearing Bai Yusheng calling her from outside the door, she gently put down the chubby, soft baby before coming out.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged Dongdan Shuiyue. She's determined to drag the Dongdan family down to hell even in her dying moments!" The little bandit girl leaned against the doorframe and laughed. "Yusheng, go and invite Hanxing over for me."

“No, Miss, Dongdan Shuiyue is already a cripple. Now the He family in Guyue City are all Dongdan Yinxiang’s people. There’s no point in us getting in touch with Dongdan Shuiyue now,” Bai Yusheng advised, not understanding the situation.

Finally, he transmitted his thoughts to Yan Hanxing, saying, "That Yan Hanxing is a smiling tiger in front of you, Miss, but he is very arrogant in front of us. I think you are right to think of him. Let him know as little as possible about our affairs."

"He's a Great Completion stage cultivator, after all. How can he not be arrogant in front of you Core Formation cultivators? Or can he be groveling?" Ji Fengyao tiptoed slightly and snapped her fingers on Bai Yusheng's forehead, saying, "Go back and eat more beast brains, to replenish what you have."

Bai Yusheng: "..."

Does it work? If it does, he'll eat it every meal!

Being around this young lady is really too mentally taxing; he seriously feels that his brain isn't up to the task!
