"What to do? It's hard to say. Just wipe them out in one fell swoop! That will save me the trouble of dealing with things in two different places!" The Jin family head's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he narrowed them slightly, as if he had thought of something very serious. Everyone else kept quiet, afraid of offending him at this moment.
The group left the Jin family residence in a grand procession. Everyone watched the spectacle from the outside. Seeing so many people from the Jin family, including the family head, everyone couldn't contain their curiosity and excitement and asked the people next to them, "What is the Jin family doing with such a big commotion? Are they going to wipe out another clan? But which clan still exists that would be worth such a huge effort from them?"
"Oh my, you don't know this, do you? Just half an hour ago, the young master of the Jin family died. He was killed by a girl in one move, without even having a chance to fight back. How could the Jin family tolerate such a thing developing on their territory? That's why they've brought people to settle accounts now."
"Whose daughter is this? Doesn't she worry about bringing death upon her family by doing such a thing?"
"If you ask me, any family that has this girl is incredibly unlucky, they've really had terrible fortune." The person next to him shook his head. No matter whose daughter's family has such a problem, they're bound to suffer.
"Why don't you all come with me and see who it is?" another bold suggestion came up.
The others shook their heads. "Well, I'm not exactly a good person, but I want to live a few more years. You guys can handle this kind of 'joining in the fun' stuff."

After arranging the talismans in the house, Xu Yuehuai took his belongings and walked through every corner of the Pu family's house before finally finding Pu's eldest and second eldest brothers again. When he saw them, the two were looking down and discussing something. Upon seeing Xu Yuehuai, they immediately stopped talking.
"Little sister, what brings you here? Is there something wrong with the room? Or are you hungry? If you are, sit in the room for a while and I'll go make you some food." As he spoke, Brother Pu began to roll up his sleeves, preparing to cook. "It's cold outside, so don't wander around too much."
Pu Erge and Pu Dage really treated Xu Yuehuai like a pampered young lady. She couldn't do anything and even caught a cold from the wind.
Xu Yuehuai did not stop Pu Erge from leaving. It might be difficult to get information out of the two of them together, but now that there was only one person left, getting information out of him would be a simple matter.
Xu Yuehuai walked up to Brother Pu, whose heart was pounding and gradually quickening. "Little sister, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Big brother is smart, I'm sure you know what I want to ask, right? Why don't you just tell me directly, so I don't have to go outside and ask around?" Xu Yuehuai was threatening him. If he didn't tell her, she would go outside and ask around. Based on what she had just done, who knows how dangerous it might be outside right now.
Brother Pu was conflicted. He didn't want to hear these words, but Xu Yuehuai in front of him gave him no reason to refuse. He thought about how much Xu Yuehuai had helped him back then. Perhaps she had the strength to stand up to that old man now?
With a sliver of hope in his heart, Brother Pu was about to reveal everything when Second Brother Pu returned, carrying two kinds of dishes. Judging from the shape of his mouth as he was about to speak, he probably asked Xu Yuehuai what dishes she wanted to eat.
As soon as I arrived, I heard these words, and my expression was far from pleasant.
Pu Erge immediately interrupted Pu Dage before he could finish speaking. His expression darkened slightly, and he subconsciously said, "Brother, Little Sister is very busy. There's no need for us to trouble her with such trivial matters."
"After we finish eating, I'll take you out for a walk." Pu Erge suddenly made this decision, and Xu Yuehuai wasn't stupid. She instantly understood what was going on. She narrowed her eyes and said with a different kind of emotion, "Is it that the Jin family is coming to visit?"
The two people in front of him were very good at disguising themselves. Pu Erge even laughed and said, "No, little sister, what are you thinking? Why are the Jin family so eager to come to our door? Oh, you mean the thing about you just killing the young master of the Jin family? Actually, it's not important at all. That person was just an unknown nobody. He wasn't that popular in the Jin family. Killing him is fine, it doesn't matter."
When Pu Erge said this, he pretended to be nonchalant, which made Xu Yuehuai even more suspicious.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Yuehuai replied to the matter without much emotion. Pu Erge knew that his explanation had not completely convinced Xu Yuehuai, so he could only sigh, turn around and leave to continue looking at his vegetables, which was his priority at the moment.
Watching Pu Erge's departing figure, Xu Yuehuai spoke again: "Second brother is gone. What was it you wanted to say just now, eldest brother? Why don't you say it now and see if I can help resolve it?"
Brother Pu instantly snapped out of it. He looked away and said with a straight face, “What? I didn’t mean anything. You must have seen wrong. Okay, don’t worry about it anymore. You sit here and listen to your second brother. I’ll take you out for a walk after dinner.”
"I don't want to go out. I haven't seen Grandpa yet. I want to see what's wrong with him," Xu Yuehuai said stubbornly.
Brother Pu, who was standing to the side, had no reason to refuse this request. After Ji Yuanchi left, Grandpa Pu treated Xu Yuehuai as his own granddaughter, so he couldn't refuse. He could only stall for time, saying, "Grandpa isn't in a good state right now. I'm worried that he might frighten you. Let your second brother and I deal with him first before you can see him."
As Brother Pu spoke, his eyes darted around, revealing a hint of guilt. Xu Yuehuai stared straight at him and said in a serious tone, "Brother, you should know that I know alchemy, right? Alchemy and medicine have similarities. Maybe I have a way to save Grandpa. If you keep obstructing me like this, you're really wasting time."
Upon hearing this, Brother Pu fell silent instantly, standing there speechless. In truth, according to the greater good, he shouldn't have let Xu Yuehuai get involved in these matters. These matters had nothing to do with her in the first place, and dragging her into such a vortex was really not right.
But now they have no other choice but to watch helplessly as their family's situation deteriorates day by day. The other party has not given them any opportunity to cultivate and has suppressed them relentlessly.
