32: Chapter 32 Brothers' Scheme (Part 1)

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jinyuan's eyes flashed with delight, and he couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

"Brother, this plan is truly brilliant! This way, that kid won't be able to escape even with wings, and Steward Wu won't be able to find any dirt on us."

Yuwen Jinran's expression suddenly turned serious, and he cautioned him solemnly.

"This matter must be handled with caution; not a whisper of it can leak out."

"The people you select must strike accurately when the time comes; you must not give that kid any chance to catch his breath."

Yuwen Jinyuan also looked serious and responded solemnly.

"Brother, rest assured, I understand. The people I've found are loyal to me; they will definitely keep the secret and cooperate fully with this operation."

Yuwen Jinran nodded with satisfaction, then took out a small, exquisite jade bottle from his robes and handed it to Yuwen Jinyuan.

"This bottle contains 'Mind-Confusing Powder,' which is colorless and odorless."

"You only need to sprinkle a little bit near that kid and let him take a whiff; it will instantly make him dazed and slow to react. With this, our chances of success will increase significantly."

Yuwen Jinyuan hurriedly took the jade bottle with both hands, tucked it away carefully, and said with a look of gratitude.

"Brother, you have considered everything so thoroughly; I truly admire you."

"With these preparations, this operation will surely be a success. But, how exactly should these Spirit Talismans be used?"

Yuwen Jinran gently patted Yuwen Jinyuan on the shoulder.

"It's very simple; just aim the Spirit Talisman at the target and throw it with force. The Spirit Talisman will take effect upon touching the object."

"Keep one in your hand just in case, and throw the remaining four at that kid."

"Alright, I'll go prepare now." Yuwen Jinyuan acknowledged, turned, and hurried away, his mind already busily plotting the specific details of the operation.

Yuwen Jinran watched his retreating figure, a cold, ruthless smile slowly curling at the corners of his mouth.

...

Inside a simple Grass Hut at The Mine, Yuwen Jinyuan leaned back in a wooden chair, looking languid as he glanced casually at Toad and asked offhandedly: "Toad, how many days has that kid been in the Mine Cave?"

Toad hurriedly straightened his posture and replied respectfully: "Brother Yuan, five days."

"There is no time to lose, let's act immediately! Come, follow me to the Mine Cave!"

A sinister light flickered in Yuwen Jinyuan's eyes, his words cold and decisive.

After saying this, he strode out of the Grass Hut, with Toad following close behind.

The two hurried to the Mine Cave. Upon seeing Yuwen Jinyuan appear, the six people there called out in unison and respect: "Brother Yuan!"

Yuwen Jinyuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the group in turn, before landing on a thin man with cunning eyes. He spoke.

"Fox, take this bottle of powder. Wait for the right moment and pour the powder near that kid. I don't need to teach you how to do it, right?"

The man called Fox hurriedly nodded, smiling obsequiously: "Rest assured, Brother Yuan. There's no need for you to worry about such a small matter."

Yuwen Jinyuan then looked at a burly man, as robust as a bear, and handed him the four Spirit Talismans.

"Black Bear, you have natural Divine Power. Later, once Fox succeeds, fix your eyes on that kid's position and throw these four Spirit Talismans hard near him. Be quick, and retreat immediately after throwing them."

Black Bear grinned, revealing a mouthful of large yellow teeth, and replied in a muffled voice: "Brother Yuan, just watch!"

Yuwen Jinyuan then cast his gaze toward the other five: Toad, Skinny Monkey, Pockmark, Scarface, and Shorty.
