"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, Miss. You'd better come find me soon, Miss. This Dong Dan Zhanpeng is driving me crazy lately. I might chop him up and feed him to the dogs tonight," Xi Que said resentfully, grinding her back teeth.
"Just bear with him for now. I won't let any of the Dongdan family members get away with this," Ji Fengyao comforted her.
“Alright, if he doesn’t come looking for trouble tonight, I won’t provoke him,” Magpie readily agreed.
Meanwhile, Dong Dan Zhanpeng, with his sharp eyes, caught the fleeting look of panic and worry in the Second Elder's eyes.
He gave Dongdan Shuiyue a meaningful look, then focused on Ji Fengyao and the others behind Dongdan Shuiyue, his gaze lingering on Lu Yang and An Zijin for a moment.
Only then did he slowly say to Dongdan Shuiyue, "Sister Shuiyue has many experts around her, it seems that Sister Shuiyue is developing very well in Guyue City. But with so many experts around, how did Brother Wenhao end up being assassinated by that scoundrel Zhou Mingxuan? If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Mingxuan seems to only have the cultivation of the early stage of Core Formation, and his influence in Guyue City is far inferior to that of Brother Wenhao and Sister Shuiyue."
Dong Dan Shuiyue's eyes swept over the people behind Dong Dan Zhanpeng, and she sneered, "No matter how many experts I have around me, I can't stop someone from colluding with the Danling Zhou family to get rid of me. I almost followed in Brother Wenhao's footsteps."
The Zhou family of Danling!
The Second Elder and the people from Yan Jingdong Dan's family were all shocked upon hearing this.
"Shuiyue, is this true? Has the Zhou family of Danling really sent someone?"
The Yan Jingdong Dan family members, including the Second Elder, all looked at Dongdan Shuiyue with tense and serious expressions.
"Yes, the one who severely injured me was probably an unparalleled ancestor of the Danling Zhou family, accompanied by a direct descendant." Dongdan Shuiyue nodded confidently at Ji Fengyao's instruction, "But after I was seriously injured, the Sixth Elder and Dongdan Yinxiang did not find out who that person was, so I don't know which ancestor and direct descendant of the Zhou family came."
The attention of Yan Jingdong and Dan's group was immediately drawn to this matter, and they all began to speculate:
"The Zhou family's ancestor! That's an old monster in the Ascension stage!"
"The Zhou family has taken in two direct descendants as their personal disciples. Zhou Xuan has always been devoted to cultivation, while Zhou Ling is more interested in family power. Could it be that Zhou Ling and that old monster Zhou Yong have come?"
"If Zhou Yong and Zhou Ling come, then we'll be in big trouble!"
"If Yinxiang and the Sixth Elder are really colluding with them, then they are truly foolish; they are inviting wolves into the house!"
The more everyone guessed, the heavier their mood became. The Second Elder had never wanted Dongdan Yinxiang to gain power, and now was the perfect opportunity to make his point.
He angrily exclaimed, "Dongdan Yinxiang has some nerve! Not only does she disgrace the Dongdan family by acting so disrespectfully in public, but she's also colluding with foreign enemies! Is she trying to ruin our entire Dongdan clan? I'm going to the He family to give her a good talking to!"
The direct descendants and offspring of the Yan Jingdong Dan family, who supported the Second Elder, the King of Dongdan, and Dongdan Shuiyue, also echoed loudly:
"Yes! Let's go! Let's confront them at the He family's house!"
"I want to know exactly what kind of situation they intend to put our entire race in!"
Dong Dan Shuiyue's lips twitched involuntarily; she wanted to remind them but couldn't utter a sound.
If Ji Fengyao were to detect even the slightest unusual movement from her, with just a thought from Ji Fengyao, those points of light within her sea of consciousness, meridians, flesh, and bones could take her life in an instant!
