30: My husband is so torturous!

Huangfu Xuan nodded, "I'm not worried about the challenge. The Tiger Leopard Fist you Cultivate has reached the level of perfection; I have great confidence in your strength."

"Not to mention a cripple who has only just managed to stand up, even if that concubine's daughter from the Jiang Family came, she would be no match for you."

"Currently, what I am worried about instead is the Medicinal Pill market in Liumian Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Yi spoke up indignantly.

"Father, if you ask me, you're just too kind. We should just drive them out of Liumian Prefecture directly, then the entire market would belong to our Huangfu Family. What else is there to worry about?"

Huangfu Xuan's expression shifted as he flew into a rage, scolding him directly.

"Idiot."

"How did I give birth to such a stupid thing like you? Besides Cultivating, you don't use your brain at all."

"The Medicinal Pill market is not for ordinary people, but for Cultivators. Although most Cultivators in Liumian Prefecture are no different from ants, it is their territory after all."

"The Feng Family has been rooted in Liumian Prefecture for many years; even if they aren't strong, their influence is deeply intertwined. As the Dao says, a powerful Dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and we do indeed want them to leave."

"But we cannot simply drive them away; instead, we must make them withdraw from this market voluntarily."

Huangfu Yi blinked, looking completely bewildered. "Dad, what's the difference between the two?"

Huangfu Yunyan sighed and spoke up, "Brother, the answer is simple. Those Cultivators are only staying here temporarily; their goal is still to find an opportunity to join a Sect and head toward a much wider world."

"The Feng Family has occupied the Liumian Prefecture Medicinal Pill market for all these years. They control the prices, and for this region and even the Qingyang City area, their prices are very low."

"In other words, the Cultivators have benefited from the Feng Family, so how could they not feel grateful?"

"If we use force to drive them away, those Cultivators will surely harbor resentment toward our Huangfu Family."

"These Cultivators might not have any status or strength now, but one can never predict a person's fortune; once they gain power, they will surely seek revenge for the Feng Family against our Huangfu Family, and even bring trouble to the Main Family Branch in Qingyang City."

"To put it simply, violent eviction is effective, but it would be creating enemies for our Huangfu Family."

"Furthermore, the Feng Family has operated for so many years with an excellent reputation. A forced eviction would also damage the Huangfu Family's image in the hearts of everyone in Liumian Prefecture. If it triggers a strong boycott from them, wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth?"

"Qingyang City is not the only place with Medicinal Pills. If they decide to go directly to other cities to buy them, who will we sell our Medicinal Pills to?"

Huangfu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Indeed, Yunyan's explanation is very comprehensive and on point."

"You should learn more from your sister. When you encounter something, use your brain more, and don't just focus on Cultivating the Tiger Leopard Fist."

"You've Cultivated yourself into an idiot."

"Dad!"

Huangfu Yi was left speechless.

"Then according to what you're saying, isn't the current situation unsolvable?"

Huangfu Xuan really couldn't bear to look at his stupid son.

"If we were waiting for you to come up with a solution, the Huangfu Family would have certainly been finished long ago."

"But as for me, I've already come up with a plan and written to the Family Head, asking him to find a way to cut off The Way of Commerce between the outside world and Liumian Prefecture."

"It won't be for long, just two or three days will do."

"According to my information, the people from the Lingxiao Sect coming to recruit disciples will arrive very soon. When they get here and the Feng Family has no Medicinal Pills to sell, things will get quite ugly."

"At such a critical time, if there are no Medicinal Pills in the shop and those Cultivators can't buy any, it will not only affect their reputation but also their goodwill among the people."

"And at that moment, when our Huangfu Family steps in to win over their customers, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

"Reputation is a great thing when it's good! But once it collapses, even a god would find it hard to save!"

After listening, Huangfu Yi's eyes widened with admiration, "Dad, you're the smart one."

Huangfu Xuan stroked his beard and nodded, "Yi'er, don't worry about the Medicinal Pills anymore. The most important thing right now is tomorrow's challenge."

"Just focus on the fight; the worse the Feng Family loses, the better."

"By stepping on them, we can also bolster the Huangfu Family's reputation in Liumian Prefecture."

"Whether you can add fuel to the fire for your father will depend on you!"

Huangfu Yi hurriedly patted his chest in guarantee.

"Dad, don't you worry, I will definitely make you proud and hold your head high."

"Please rest assured, Father! Your son will surely win!"

At the Feng Family residence.

Inside the pavilion, Jiang Shuwan was still Cultivating.

Feng Ming had already stopped. Seeing that it was getting late, he walked over to call Jiang Shuwan.

"Shuwan, it's time to go back to the room and sleep."

Immersed in her Cultivation, Jiang Shuwan heard Feng Ming's words and subconsciously thought of those positions they had studied in the room, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

Her mind wavered, and she nearly suffered a Qi Deviation.

She quickly restrained her Qi, looked at Feng Ming, and pouted, "Husband, stop it. It's still early, let me Cultivate for a while longer."

"I have to face Huangfu Yi tomorrow, I need to make the most of my time."

Feng Ming smiled and picked her up, "Alright, like I said, balance work and rest. Besides, I already said I'll fight in your place tomorrow."

"Cultivating isn't a matter of the more diligent the better; you must balance work and rest. Otherwise, not only will it be inefficient, but you'll also be very tired. If something goes wrong, it would be more trouble than it's worth."

Jiang Shuwan struggled a bit but couldn't break free.

"Husband, I don't want you to take my place. I caused the trouble, so naturally, I should be the one to solve it."

"Besides, even if I lose, it won't be considered losing face for the Feng Family. You can't take this away from me, Husband!"

Jiang Shuwan spoke with a serious expression, and Feng Ming nodded helplessly.

"Fine, I'll listen to you on everything else, but right now you have to listen to me."

Feng Ming could already sense that Jiang Shuwan's Cultivation had entered a Bottleneck.

After all, moving from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage was no easy feat.

It required a slow and steady approach.

Being too hurried was actually counterproductive.

"Can we retire for the night now, Madam?"

Jiang Shuwan's face was bright red.

"It's only ten o'clock and you want to do that? Shameless little pervert!"

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow, "Can you blame me?"

"I admit it's all the moon's fault; the moonlight is too beautiful and gentle, and you are just too enchanting."

"With a beauty before me, it would be strange if I could hold back."

Jiang Shuwan raised an eyebrow, "So, you mean it's my fault?"

Feng Ming nodded, "It really is Madam's fault. You were born too beautiful, too lovely; I simply can't resist your temptation."

"You!"

Jiang Shuwan's pretty face turned even redder as she pouted.

"Smooth-talker!"

"It's not that I can't rest now! But Husband, you must promise me one condition!"

Hearing there was a chance, Feng Ming didn't hesitate at all.

"Never mind one, I'll promise you a hundred! Madam, I really can't hold back anymore!"

"Oh, let me finish!"

While they were talking, Feng Ming had already carried Jiang Shuwan to the bedroom.

He was just about to pounce like a hungry wolf on its prey.

Jiang Shuwan quickly pushed him away.

"Husband, wait. My condition is that you can't exhaust me so late."

"I have a challenge tomorrow, representing the Feng Family and the Jiang Family, and I can't lose face."
