"Okay," Bai Yusu pouted, glancing cautiously at Ji Fengyao.
Seeing that Ji Fengyao didn't seem angry or impatient, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Fengyao naturally noticed the subtle tension between the two siblings.
But she did not soothe Bai Yusu in the same gentle way she had with Xique and Bailu before.
Now she is starting anew on her own in the Maple Moon Continent. She has to personally build and manage the team. Without Shang Xiye and her brother as solemn leaders, she can no longer be as gentle as before.
Dongdan Shuiyue also had people keeping a close eye on the Bai family.
However, she was not as familiar with the Bai family as Bai Yusheng and Bai Yusu. She blocked the main and side gates of the Bai family, but not the secret passage.
Zhou Mingxuan's truck took the Bai family's secret passage.
Upon receiving the news that Hao Yan had been thrown into the yard, the He family dared not conceal it and immediately reported the news to Dongdan Shuiyue.
"The Zhou family's truck has been dispatched. We hope you can exchange this message for five spirit stones and place them in the pit on the west side of the back door of the He family." Dong Dan Shuiyue twirled the crookedly written note between two fingers, a sneer on her face: "Who is this money-grubber who dares to ask our Dong Dan family for such an exorbitant amount? Go and throw him a low-grade spirit stone. If he dares to cause trouble, we'll kill him."
"I will obey Miss Shuiyue's orders," He Lanhuai, the eldest son of the He family, replied obsequiously.
"Miss Shuiyue, how many people are you planning to take with you to the Zhou family's truck?"
He Lancai, the eldest daughter of the He family, also quickly asked in a fawning manner.
Normally, they don't get much benefit from working under Dongdan Wenhao and Dongdan Shuiyue, but if Dongdan Wenhao and Dongdan Shuiyue let them participate in such shady matters, the benefits they receive are usually much greater than usual.
“This gift from Zhou Mingxuan is a birthday present for Zhou Boqing. The Zhou and Bai families must have sent many people to escort it. You two should also bring more people this time to ensure everything goes smoothly,” Dong Dan Shuiyue said condescendingly from her seat in the main seat.
"Yes, yes, Miss, we'll go and call the people right away," He Lanhuai and He Lancai agreed in unison, then turned and jogged away.
Dong Danmo rolled her eyes at the two people's retreating figures with utter disdain.
“Let’s go, Mo Tong, we have to go too.” Dong Dan Shui Yue drew her sword and stood up, saying, “The Bai family hasn’t gained much in Gu Yue City lately. I have to go and see what Zhou Mingxuan is planning to offer to Zhou Boqing.”
"Miss suspects that Zhou Mingxuan robbed our Dongdan family inn." Dongdan Motong instantly understood, but was somewhat puzzled: "Does Zhou Mingxuan have the audacity to harm Young Master Wenhao? Young Master Wenhao went there that day..."
“What Dongdan Wenhao went there to do is not important. What is important is that he is dead and there are things from the Zhou family by his side.” Dongdan Shuiyue’s lips curled up with satisfaction: “Zhou Zhixi cannot escape responsibility for this matter. What we need to do is to confirm this.”
"But Miss, what if the Zhou family really turns against our Dongdan family because of this..."
“They wouldn’t dare,” Dongdan Shuiyue said with a light smile, glancing at Dongdan Motong. Her words were as cheerful as her mood. “Have you forgotten who is in charge of the main branch of our Dongdan family?”
Dongdan Motong returned Dongdan Shuiyue's extremely obsequious smile and said, "Motong understands. Young Master Wenhao is gone. Among the young Dongdan clan of Fengyue Continent, Miss is the most outstanding. The position of young master will undoubtedly belong to Miss. Motong congratulates Miss!"
"Mo Tong, you can't say that. Second brother and third sister are also very outstanding."
Dong Dan Shuiyue laughed heartily, casually offering a self-deprecating remark.
