Sudden change
Cui Shancheng's face darkened. Qianqingpu's territory had always been his, and Dongcheng's territory of a hundred acres was a barren wasteland. He wouldn't want it even if it was given to him for free. She made such an arrangement just to weaken his power and let the five sons compete with each other.
"Hmph, please forgive my incompetence and inability to take on such a heavy responsibility." He had a bad look on his face and spoke in a disrespectful tone.
"Oh? The elder is about to disobey me?"
As if in a dizzying moment, a dagger was placed on his neck. The dagger was close to his flesh, and a line of blood oozed out. He was immediately terrified.
Seeing Lin Yuan holding a wine glass in his other hand, his pupils shrank and he had a bad premonition.
With a clang, the wine glass fell to the ground.
An arrow shot towards Lin Yuan. She subconsciously retracted her dagger to dodge, but it still slipped onto her arm, causing a burning pain. However, no blood could be seen on her black sleeve.
The right protector rushed over to guard against the secret guards who were rushing in from all around, but they were already surrounded.
This was exactly what Lin Yuan had expected. When she dug out the original owner's notes, she discovered the secret of Cui Shancheng.
She remembered the words in the notebook clearly: "That old man Cui Shancheng is suspicious all the time. He even has a code. If he's in danger within the sect, he'll use the signal of smashing a cup, and the secret guards will rush out. He's quite cunning, but his brain isn't very good. Modern TV dramas don't write about this anymore. Such childish tricks."
At this point, Cui Shancheng was determined to kill them. Could it be that a dozen secret guards couldn't defeat these two people? As long as he gave the order, these two people would be pierced by thousands of arrows and turned into hedgehogs.
"Hahaha, Elder Cui is in such a good mood, bringing so many people to entertain the host."
From the sarcastic tone of his voice, I knew it was Yu Liushang.
Now, the new owner's foundation is unstable, and Yu Liushang's power is the most powerful, powerful enough to replace the new owner. It's just that the old owner was blind and passed the position to a young girl...so why not win him over.
Cui Shancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Palace Master Yu, how about you and I jointly inherit the last will of the late master? You become the building master, and I support you. We will carry forward our sect and unify the martial arts world!"
Yu Liushang smiled with an ambiguous smile: "It's hard to refuse the elder's kindness, so... take him down! If he dares to have second thoughts about the owner of this building, he must not be allowed to stay!"
He ran up to Lin Yuan attentively and threw her a wink. "How is it? I'm doing a good job, right?"
Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh because of the princess's pun, "Thank you for your hard work, Palace Master."
Cui Shancheng's secret guards were captured by the incoming soldiers and surrendered. Cui Shancheng looked at the "adulterer" in front of him and realized that they had colluded long ago. His face was twisted with viciousness, and he simply shouted loudly: "Yu Liushang! Are you willing to let a stinky girl be the owner of the building? Didn't you covet the position of owner before..."
Yu Liushang had silenced him. "My lady, you won't believe the words of a traitor, will you?" His peach-shaped eyes held a hint of grievance.
Lin Yuan turned away, unable to bear this kind of gaze, but in order to prevent him from causing trouble, she could only say, "Of course not, he's just talking nonsense."
Lin Yuan understood that the people in Jifeng Tower were not easy to deal with, so Yu Liushang had to be on guard.
Lin Yuan: "Today, Cui Shancheng attempted to assassinate me but failed. He also incited others to rebellion and is being handed over to the Criminal Justice Department for apostasy. His five sons... are young and innocent. They will be divided into different parts and each will perform their duties. Each will be in charge of their own land and do their duty to atone for their father's sins."
…
Outside the window, the winter snow falls silently, covering the dead branches, leaves, pavilions and towers with a layer of white.
After a busy day, Lin Yuan was exhausted when she returned to her bedroom. While lying on the bed, she couldn't help but think of Wanmie Palace.
The Wanmie Palace has been increasingly aggressive lately, swallowing up smaller sects and even provoking Jifeng Tower on its territory. They've also subsequently seized Jifeng Tower's territory in Dezhou, and are determined to reclaim their lost territory. However, the leader of the Wanmie Palace is Pei Sizhou, a man with deep scheming and difficult to deal with...
Just after taking a short break, I heard a knock on the door. "Owner?"
She pushed open the door and saw the smiling Zhu Wanling. She asked her what was the matter, and she came into the room familiarly and said she wanted to talk in detail.
Lin Yuan lay on the bed, her voice tired and she looked at Zhu Wanling weakly: "What's the matter, Guardian Zuo?"
Zhu Wanling paused, the smile on her face faded, and she caressed Lin Yuan's pale face with concern, "Why does our host look so bad? Who bullied you? Tell me quickly."
Lin Yuan forced a smile. "I killed a lot of people. Their stiff bodies, terrified expressions, and blood all over the ground. I know this is normal, but I'm not used to it yet."
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, you'll get used to it after seeing it so many times. I went through the same thing back then."
Nonsense, Lin Yuan thought.
Lin Yuan: "...Don't call me sister, I'm the owner of the building after all. You act like a subordinate."
She owns a building called Jifeng Tower, which is the tallest building in Jiuzhou and the symbol of the highest power of the religion. It controls thousands of acres of land and branches scattered across the states.
Zhu Wanling remained nonchalant. "Didn't the host ask his subordinates to keep an eye on Yuan... Jinghu Sect's every move? And here we are! This is a major event that will shake up the Jinghu Sect!"
"What's the big deal? Tell me quickly!" Lin Yuan suddenly became excited.
She handed the letter to Lin Yuan, "It's from your lover. It should be about the Jinghu Sect."
Lin Yuan opened it eagerly, glanced through it once, and read it twice.
The general content was that Yuan Xuanlang had exposed Pei Sizhou's mask, causing the identity of the leader of the Wanmie Sect to be revealed, which also won support for Yuan Xuanlang to become the new leader of the Jinghu Sect. Another letter was that he planned to come to Jifeng Tower in December to discuss cooperation matters to fight against the evil Wanmie Sect.
It seems that the backbone of the Wanmie Sect leader has returned, so they are so rampant, so rampant that they are enemies of both the good and evil factions in the martial arts world.
Lin Yuan: "This guy! He didn't even tell me about such a big thing. He said he would come here in December to discuss how to deal with the Wanmie Sect."
"Haha! The drunkard's real intention is not to drink. Just wait, your little lover is about to come."
Lin Yuan looked at the letter with a silly smile, not showing any of the host's demeanor as she did during the day.
Recently, there's been a stir within Jifeng Tower. The new leader of the Jinghu Sect is actually coming to our Demon Sect to discuss cooperation! The most shocking thing is the relationship between the tower owner and the new leader.
Rumor has it that Sect Leader Yuan and the owner of the building are old lovers. On a dark and windy night, the owner of the building was being hunted by decent people and was rescued by Sect Leader Yuan on the way. The owner of the building was a delicate and beautiful woman, while the Sect Leader was a handsome and cool young man. The two of them interacted with each other, "testing each other" and secretly fell in love.
However, the owner of the building, despite the advice of her fiancé, cruelly abandoned Master Yuan. Master Yuan turned his love into hatred and swore a poisonous oath: "When I become the best in the martial arts world, I will take Jifeng Building and you into my possession."
Therefore, the disciples of Jifeng Tower have developed a strong hostility towards Yuan Xuanlang. Yuan Xuanlang wants to seize the Tower Master and occupy Jifeng Tower. This visit must have ulterior motives! We must be on high alert to protect our Tower Master!
Lin Yuan lay on the tree, quietly listening to the gossip of the maids below. She felt how painful it was to hold back her laughter. "This gossip in the martial arts world is indeed very influential. In that case, I must appease people and live up to their expectations. I will treat you well..."
The snow is floating outside the curtain, the fragrance of the green canopy is lingering and the fire is still burning.
The sky and the earth were hazy, covered in snow and fog. A group of people and horses slowly glided along a white arc and met another group of people and horses.
Through the layers of snowflakes and the white misty clouds, her eyes met his.
They had only been separated for a few months, but she felt like she had been waiting for this moment for a thousand years.
