The family speculated that the person who had been supplying talismans to Wanbaoge was an unknown and insignificant figure, as they dared not reveal their identity.
He has talent, but no powerful backing.
Once such a person is identified, they can either be coerced or bribed into serving the powerful families, or they can be completely eliminated. They are easily manipulated and pose no threat whatsoever.
Before today, Yan Qing was indeed like that.
But today he has become the dean's personal disciple.
The four peak masters were all summoned to witness the public announcement, and it was made clear that no one could touch him openly.
Everything became extremely upsetting.
Shang Jiuming immediately wrote a letter back to Shangmou City, asking his father and the head of the family to come up with a solution.
Information gathering and discussions both require time.
During this period, the shops owned by the aristocratic family at the foot of the mountain were on the verge of going out of business.
In contrast, Liang Ting not only made his shops at the foot of the mountain thrive, but also, through Shang Yanting, gained the backing of Qing Shuangfeng.
In addition, Zhaocheng was also his old stronghold, and he had many connections with it in various aspects. He went back and stabilized the city lord, and also took the opportunity to win over a few allies.
##
Qing Shuang Peak
At this time, Jia Xitong, who stirred up the whole big event, kept his merits and fame hidden.
Besides drawing talismans and cultivating her spiritual practice, she spends her days taking care of the small animals on the mountain. Occasionally, she also acts as a counselor, listening to her fellow disciples' heart-to-heart talks.
"I was so stupid, so incredibly stupid. How could I not have imagined that Junior Brother Yan was actually a talisman cultivator, and that he was the one selling the talismans down the mountain?"
The nineteenth senior brother was so angry that he pounded the ground, "I actually believed that I spent 20 taels of silver on the black market to buy a fake talisman."
That's really silly.
She sells it to middlemen for two hundred taels, but you only get a whiff for twenty taels.
Seeing that his nineteenth senior brother was speaking with great emotion and spitting out saliva, Jia Xitong scooped up a spoonful of spring water to moisten his throat.
"Thank you, it feels much better to have it said."
The nineteenth senior brother took a sip, then patted Jia Xitong's head, "This is my secret, don't tell anyone."
After saying that, he placed a handful of melon seeds next to Jia Xitong, probably as hush money.
The person who visits Jia Xitong most frequently is the eleventh senior brother.
His daily worry is being poor.
"Hey, Tong, why is my senior brother so poor?"
"Sigh, the sleeves are all frayed."
"I had pickled vegetable buns for lunch today. I wanted to add some meat, but I realized I didn't have any money on me."
In the past, when the eleventh senior brother complained, Jia Xitong would express deep sympathy and generously give him money.
She will immediately enter a state of sagehood.
According to incomplete statistics, her eleventh senior brother currently owes her three hundred taels of silver!
Now I finally understand why the other senior brothers all acted indignantly and told him to get lost whenever they heard that the eleventh senior brother wanted to borrow money.
Because he only ever mentions borrowing money, never talking about repaying it.
The eleventh senior brother, who had no credibility whatsoever, failed to "borrow" any money from her, but he did manage to steal the roasted melon seeds left behind by the nineteenth junior brother.
They ate and took without restraint; they were utterly depraved.
As Jia Xitong was fiercely condemning her eleventh senior brother in her heart, a hand suddenly lifted her up from behind.
Shang Yanting led her outside, asking, "Dear host, where are we going?"
"Niu Chuanchuan asked me to meet him."
He has been in close contact with Niu Chuanchuan recently.
They often met at a small pavilion outside Qing Shuang Peak, where Niu Chuanchuan would already be waiting.
"What's up?"
Shang Yanting walked in to inquire, and Niu Chuanchuan thrust a long knife at him.
Niu Niu is not a real cow.
Several assassins immediately appeared from the woods behind them.
They all unleashed deadly moves; four were at the late stage of Martial Realm, and one was at the early stage of Martial Master.
While Shang Yanting was trying to escape, the raccoon was accidentally snatched away by them.
With the monster in hand, the group quickly dashed into the jungle.
"If you want to save this little beast and your nineteenth senior brother, come to Longshao Peak alone at three quarters past midnight the day after tomorrow."
To make things mysterious.
Who else would use this method to force him to meet?
Shang Yanting knew very well who did it.
He stood there, his whole body radiating an uncontrollable killing intent.
On the other side
Jia Xitong felt a sudden dizziness, and she was suddenly grabbed by a stranger.
It was fortunate that she broke through to the Talisman Realm, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to take the raccoon away.
She originally intended to kick the man away and run back, but in a daze, she heard the name of her nineteenth senior brother.
By the way, can Little Raccoon still return to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness if she's here?
With a thought in her mind, she instantly returned to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness.
“Dear host.”
"system?"
"Hey, I'm back!"
Jia Xitong's voice was a mixture of surprise and smugness.
Unexpectedly, her soul could switch back and forth between the raccoon and Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness without regard to distance, and she suddenly felt that the 10,000 talismans were well spent.
Those kidnappers have never failed so miserably in their lives.
After giving them a sneer, Jia Xitong said to Shang Yanting, "I'll follow them to see where they went. You go find Senior Brother and Peak Master to rescue Senior Brother Nineteen."
Brother Nineteen is really bad at talking.
I had a heart-to-heart talk with her in the morning, and she was kidnapped in the afternoon.
"You'll be alright?"
He cared more about Jia Xitong than the nineteenth prince.
"I'll run if I need to."
Jia Xitong replied, "Besides, they kidnapped a puppet, and the raccoon is fearless."
She let Shang Yanting know she was safe and sound, then returned to the raccoon puppet.
Among the group that kidnapped her, someone noticed that the raccoon was motionless, its limbs were stiff, and its belly was not moving at all.
He quickly asked, "Do you think this thing is dead?"
