265: So you sold her?

"Father! Young Master!"

"Although Xiao Ze's matter has been resolved, the culprits behind this incident have yet to be punished. Those three took advantage of Xiao Ze's fight with the Puppet to escape."

"This incident was caused by them. It not only damaged the reputation of our Jiang Family but also harmed the Young Master's name. Therefore, I believe we must capture them and bring them back!"

Jiang Qinghe nodded. "These people must not be let off lightly. Proceed according to your plan!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Bing left immediately with his men, and Feng Ming wanted to leave as well.

However, Jiang Qinghe spoke up: "You are proficient in Alchemy. Come with me to see Shuyu and see if she needs any supplementary Medicinal Pills."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming nodded. Although Jiang Shuyu was only three years old, she was clever and mischievous, and not afraid of strangers.

Additionally, since this was not her first time meeting Feng Ming, she ran over as soon as she saw him.

"Big Brother, the Medicinal Pill you refined for Shuyu is amazing, and you are amazing too."

How could Feng Ming not like such a soft and sweet child? He immediately picked her up into his arms.

At the same time, he sent a wisp of Qi into Shuyu's body to investigate.

After a moment, he said, "Old Master, there is no problem with Shuyu's Physique. The benefit of a Chaos Body is not just the ability to recover quickly from injuries; more importantly, it allows one to adapt as one wishes. In other words, as long as Shuyu wants to learn, she can choose any Dao at will, and can even master countless Daos. Her development in the Late Stage will depend on herself."

Feng Ming was only stating the characteristics of the Chaos Body; after all, he possessed one, so he naturally understood it, but he did not say too much.

Even if it were also a Chaos Body, Jiang Shuyu had no way to replicate his achievements.

Because he possessed not only a Chaos Body but also the Chaos Scripture and the chaos tree.

The combined effect of these three things was not simply one plus one equals two.

As he spoke, Feng Ming added, "There is one more thing. Shuyu's Physique is special. For this kind of Physique that harbors Qi within the body, a Dao Companion is extremely crucial!"

"Especially the first joint Cultivation with a Dao Companion; there is a high probability of an 'enlightenment' occurring!"

"Simply put, the Dao Companion will enlighten this Qi within them, causing this Qi to undergo a qualitative change and truly unleash the power of this energy!"

"However, the Cultivation Technique the Dao Companion practices, the attributes of the Cultivation Technique, and even the strength of their talent, may affect the result of the enlightenment. So, you must put a lot of effort into this child's future Dao Companion!"

Jiang Qinghe nodded; this was indeed a very important matter.

Seeing that Jiang Qinghe had agreed, Feng Ming did not say more. Jiang Bing was now the acting family head of the Jiang Family, and since Shuyu was a descendant valued by Jiang Qinghe, her Dao Companion would certainly not be an ordinary person.

Feng Ming chatted with Jiang Qinghe for a while, then left with Jiang Shuwan.

As for Ye Min, Jiang Qinghe had already agreed to let her and Jiang Shuwan leave, but because they were going to participate in the Trial next, they would stay at the Jiang Family Mansion for the time being.

However, now that Jiang Bing was the acting family head, coupled with the deterrence of Feng Ming's strength, no one should trouble Ye Min.

When they returned to the Inn, it was already dark. Because of the scene caused by Huangfu Yunyan and the others at noon, they hadn't eaten well.

Now they were tired and hungry.

Plus, with Huangfu Yunyan and those three people no longer lurking in the dark like vipers, they felt both relaxed and free.

Feng Mian ordered a table full of delicious food, and almost everyone was called over. Everyone sat in the lobby, chatting while eating.

Lu An'an and Madam Hua were busy with their own matters, and since the Trial was starting tomorrow, it was inconvenient to meet now, so they did not come.

While they were eating, Feng Da leaned closer to Feng Ming to report the news.

"Young Master, Huangfu Yunyan's Maid has been caught, but Huangfu Yunyan and Huangfu Rui are still nowhere to be found."

"The Jiang Family guards are searching the whole city."

Feng Ming nodded. With the Jiang Family guards in pursuit, it was impossible for those three to leave Liang Province.

But Liangzhou City was not small; if they were determined to hide, they wouldn't be found for a while.

Being able to catch one Maid was considered pretty good.

"What about Qingyang City?"

"The Family Head sent a message saying that Xiao Ze's people have left. Bound by the Blood Oath, Xiao Ze likely wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

Feng Ming nodded. "Xiao Ze is a Cultivator. Although he is a bit old, it's not like he can't have more children. Since the useless one is dead, there is no need for him to risk his own life. With that effort, it would be better to have another one."

"He shouldn't be seeking death anymore. Don't worry about him for now."

Feng Ming thought for a moment and reminded him, "Focus more on Huangfu Yunyan and Huangfu Rui. I'm not worried about Huangfu Rui; without Huangfu Yunyan, he would eventually play himself to death."

"But as for Huangfu Yunyan, since she has already made a move, don't be polite with her."

"Gather information about her. If you find her, don't make a move. Tell the Jiang Family members and let them finish it off."

Feng Da acknowledged them one by one.

On the other side, in a remote alley in Liangzhou City, two people dressed in night-walking clothes hid in the darkness, not daring to move.

It wasn't until a group of patrolling soldiers left the intersection that one of them spoke.

"What do we do now? Revenge hasn't been taken, Feng Ming isn't dead, yet we have become like rats crossing the street."

"Your Maid should have left the city by now. We really shouldn't have split up."

After Huangfu Rui finished speaking, he was scolded by Huangfu Yunyan, "Idiot, do you think it's that easy to leave the city now?"

Huangfu Rui was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Idiot, I let her go out just to attract attention. The Jiang Family has sealed the city; how could we possibly get out?"

"She runs outside, and we hide in the city to reduce the pressure. Do you understand?"

Huangfu Rui was stunned, his face full of shock. "So, you sold her out?"

"You are too vicious. She has followed you for so long and done so many things for you, yet you treated her like this."

Huangfu Yunyan sneered, unconcerned. "So what? From the first day she followed me, she should have known that there would be such an outcome!"

"What you should be considering now is not her, but the situation of the two of us."

Huangfu Rui huffed in anger. "Now we have offended the Jiang Family. They are searching the whole city for us. Even if we can hide for the first day, we won't be able to hide forever."

"There are many people in the city now, so it's inconvenient for them to search, but tomorrow the Trial will begin, and most of the people in Liang Province will enter the trial grounds. We won't even have a place to hide by then."

Speaking of this, Huangfu Rui was also very desperate. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Huangfu Family, thinking of participating in the Trial to gain a ranking and then revitalize the Huangfu Family.

Now everything was over.

Revenge couldn't be taken, and they couldn't survive either.

Huangfu Yunyan sneered. "Not necessarily. The Huangfu Family won't let us leave the city, so we just won't leave. When the Trial begins, we will take advantage of the chaos and enter the trial grounds; we will naturally be able to escape the calamity."

"As for what to do after three months, we'll wait until three months later to consider it. By then, if you can get a ranking, you might not necessarily die."

Huangfu Rui thought for a moment and knew this method was feasible, but, "What about you? You aren't in the top ten, and you don't have the qualifications to enter the trial grounds."

Huangfu Yunyan shook her head. "That's not necessarily true. I don't have the qualifications to participate in the Heaven Ranking, but the Earth Ranking doesn't require qualifications. As long as I get in, I have a chance."
