91: People from the City Lord's Mansion

Lu An'an's brows furrowed slightly as she spoke after a moment of contemplation.

"I understand now!"

"Young Master Feng wants us to tell Father about this. Father will naturally take action. If that's the case, this midnight soul returning pill is definitely not simple."

Lu Qianqian looked completely bewildered and confused. "Is there any connection between them?"

Lu An'an suddenly felt that people were probably treated fairly; her younger sister had great talent for Cultivation, but her brain was a bit lacking.

In this world, probably only Young Master Feng could possess various talents while also having such a clever mind.

"Think about it. Luo Meng likely died from taking a fourth-grade midnight soul returning pill. This Medicinal Pill was probably given by the Huangfu Family. They did this to keep him quiet."

"Luo Meng is dead and won't come out to testify, but now we have an even more important clue. Once this news spreads, who do you think will have the biggest reaction?"

Lu Qianqian thought for a moment and first ruled out the Huangfu Family. They wanted to clear their name, so they naturally wouldn't come to claim Luo Meng's body.

But who else could it be besides the Huangfu Family?

Lu Qianqian couldn't figure it out.

Lu An'an sighed, "Naturally, it's those who, like Luo Meng, risk their lives for the Huangfu Family."

"Although these Retainers and Thugs are hidden in the shadows, it doesn't mean they don't know each other. As long as someone recognizes Luo Meng, this matter will no longer be a secret."

"Once the word spreads, everyone will surely feel a chill in their hearts. They risk their lives for the Huangfu Family, only for the Huangfu Family to poison them."

"When that time comes, everyone will be in a state of constant fear. Who would dare to truly risk their life for the Huangfu Family?"

"That's right!"

Lu Qianqian suddenly realized.

"This way, even if we can't convict the Huangfu Family, the trouble caused by those Retainers and Thugs will be enough to make the Huangfu Family suffer."

"Maybe we'll even have an unexpected harvest. For instance, what if these people attack the Huangfu Family in a fit of rage?"

"After all, no one likes being backstabbed, especially when the one backstabbing you is the person you're risking your life for."

Following Lu An'an's explanation, Lu Qianqian completely understood Feng Ming's intention.

She couldn't help but praise, "Brother-in-law is truly amazing. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have considered so much. I'd better send a message to Father quickly."

After saying that, Lu Qianqian ran out.

At the Feng Family home, after Feng Ming had the body sent away, he immediately suppressed the news.

After sending away several groups of people in batches, the current Feng Family only had a few close subordinates left besides the masters.

This made it convenient for Feng Ming to act.

Feng Mian was very confused by Feng Ming's series of actions.

"A-Ming, why can't I understand? You're blocking the news on one hand, but on the other, you're having the Feng Family find people to send the body to the Prefectural Office. It'll be traced back to the Feng Family very soon."

"Then won't everything you've done be in vain?"

Feng Ming shook his head with a smile. "Big Brother, you don't understand. This is the effect I want. The way of deception lies in the mix of truth and falsehood. What I want is for the Prefectural Office to trace it back to the Feng Family."

Jiang Shuwan was also puzzled.

"Husband, why is that?"

Seeing that neither of them understood, Feng Ming explained.

"Rather than saying I'm blocking the news, I'm actually trying to put on a show for the Huangfu Family's Retainers and Thugs."

"When they find out, they'll guess that Luo Meng died while working for the Huangfu Family to deal with the Feng Family."

"However, the conclusion given by the Prefectural Office will be that Luo Meng didn't die from swords or any Cultivation Technique, but from taking a fourth-grade midnight soul returning pill."

"Luo Meng was an enemy of the Feng Family, so this Medicinal Pill naturally didn't come from us. Anyone with a brain can understand the connection once they think about it."

"Luo Meng was drugged by the Huangfu Family and died at our Feng Family home!"

"So, Husband, your goal is to make the Huangfu Family's Guest Elders and Thugs see the reality—that the Huangfu Family is ruthless. If they work for them, they'll still be poisoned. They won't be able to accept it."

"Ultimately, Husband wants to see the Huangfu Family devoured by these Retainers and Thugs!"

Feng Ming nodded and gave Jiang Shuwan an appreciative look.

Although this Foolish Wife tended to overthink things in his favor, she was truly smart and quick on the uptake.

*Gulp!*

Feng Mian swallowed hard and then looked at Feng Ming.

"Second Brother, you're really sinister. I'm so glad I didn't keep trying to steal your wife. Now that we're brothers, I'm still a bit afraid of you."

"If we were enemies, I don't even know how miserable my death would be."

Jiang Shuwan hurriedly said.

"Big Brother, you're talking nonsense again. How can you call this sinister? It's called wisdom!"

Feng Mian was stunned, while Feng Ming laughed.

"Do you hear that? It's called wisdom. Be jealous!"

After finishing with Luo Meng's business, Feng Ming continued to pack.

After all, the whole family was moving, so there were many things to organize.

Ye Feng would arrive tomorrow.

He estimated they would stay for one night at most, or perhaps not even stay for a single night.

They would have to set out with the group recruiting Disciples.

After finishing the packing, Feng Ming looked around the place, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.

Although he had not been here long since his Transmigration.

This place was, after all, where he had lived since he first woke up, so he had some feelings for it.

Jiang Shuwan and Feng Ming took advantage of the afternoon to visit the shops again.

Even if they left, the shops still had to continue operating.

This was their rear base, their foundation.

The shops were staffed by veterans, so there was no need to worry about anything; they just needed to arrange everything properly.

They stayed busy until evening.

Feng Ming took Jiang Shuwan out for dinner before returning.

Upon returning to Qingfeng Courtyard, Feng Ming didn't rush into the house but sat in the courtyard.

Most likely, this was the last night before their departure.

He wanted to see if there would be starlight in the sky tonight.

If there was, he would take the opportunity to drink the enlightenment tea and further enhance his strength.

If he was lucky, he might even reach a Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

Feng Ming knew very well that once they reached Qingyang City, they would have to face the Huangfu Family head-on, and he might not have time then.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

No stars appeared in the sky tonight.

Instead, Jiang Shuwan brought a letter over.

"Husband, a letter has arrived from Qingyang City."

Feng Ming nodded and took the letter.

Based on the timing, the people he had arranged had likely already settled everything.

Feng Ming opened the letter and saw the information he was looking for.

"The letter says the residence has been purchased in the East District of Qingyang City, and its specifications are the same as the Huangfu Family's, if not better."

"I'm also very satisfied with the location. It's separated from the Huangfu Family by a main city street, with the City Lord's Mansion in between. This way, if the Huangfu Family wants to make a move, they'll have to go around the City Lord's Mansion."

"Not bad. The people Grandpa arranged are very reliable."
