168: Jinling Feast, Women's World

The fierce woman wiped away her tears.

The treasured blade in her hand was crushed in her anger.

"This matter cannot be left like this."

"I will avenge my husband."

"I will fight for the honor of the Jinling Family."

Everyone was indifferent to the first sentence.

However, the latter sentence evoked a hint of sympathy in everyone's hearts.

Some people who disliked Yang Yi stood on the same front as the fierce woman.

"I support you."

"But Yang Yi's strength is formidable."

"You may not be his match."

"I am not his match."

"Is there no one in the Jinling Family who is his match?"

"He has Manxin Old Ancestor backing him."

"Do I not have anyone backing me?"

With that, she wiped away a tear and gritted her teeth, saying,

"I'll go find Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi to preside over justice for me."

Everyone was startled.

Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi was an Old Ancestor of the Jinling Family.

Old Ancestors of their caliber would not emerge unless the Family was in grave danger.

They also disliked being disturbed.

No one knew if the fierce woman could persuade Old Ancestor Jin Xiao Zhi to act.

This matter was of great importance.

Everyone dared not conceal it.

Whether she could persuade Jin...

First, it was reported to Jin Qiuyan.

Jin Qiuyan was furious and immediately ordered someone to stop it.

At the same time, she took Jin Xiaodie to find Yang Yi.

Upon seeing Yang Yi, she lectured him severely.

Yang Yi, like a primary school student, lowered his head and dared not speak.

After the lecture, Jin Qiuyan angrily sat on the stone table under the locust tree.

Jin Xiaodie quickly brought her a cup of lukewarm tea, neither too hot nor too cold.

"Clan Chief, please calm down first and have some water."

"What water to drink? From now on, you will follow him for me."

"Report everything he does truthfully to me."

"If anything happens again, you will be held accountable."

Jin Xiaodie nodded somewhat aggrievedly, silently standing behind Yang Yi.

Yang Yi also felt that he had caused a lot of trouble for the Jinling Family.

He smiled apologetically at the Clan Chief.

"How about I leave today?"

"Didn't Manxin Old Ancestor say to let you stay here for a month?"

"There's still half a month left, why leave?"

"You've caused such a big disaster for our Family."

"You want to just leave."

"You think it's that easy."

After speaking, she looked at Jin Xiaodie again and instructed,

"Keep a close eye on him."

"He absolutely cannot be allowed to leave."

Then, she strode away.

Yang Yi was somewhat puzzled.

He had killed a person from the Jinling Family, yet the Clan Chief still wanted him to stay.

Why was this?

It certainly wasn't for Manxin Old Ancestor's instruction.

There must be another reason.

He glanced at the timid Jin Xiaodie behind him.

"Do you know why they want me to stay?"

Jin Xiaodie fiddled with the corner of her clothes and whispered,

"Not very clear."

"It seems, it seems that some guests will come to the Family after a while."

"Guests? Are they enemies?" Yang Yi asked.

Jin Xiaodie said she didn't know.

"If you don't know, then go find out for me."

"You are my person now."

"Not a person of the Jinling Family."

"You should know where your allegiance lies, right?" Yang Yi pretended to glare fiercely at Jin Xiaodie.

Jin Xiaodie pouted aggrievedly and said she understood.

Despite her timidity, she was very efficient.

What Yang Yi instructed in the afternoon, she had already gathered information about by evening.

However, her position in the Jinling Family was relatively low, so she couldn't gather any highly valuable information.

According to what she overheard, three days later, the Jinling Family would hold a grand banquet.

The main purpose of this banquet was for the Jinling Family to form alliances with other forces through marriage, thereby achieving certain common interests.

Keeping Yang Yi was to use him as a whetstone for the Jinling Family.

To put it plainly, it was to have Yang Yi act as a brawler.

On the day of the banquet, to show off their abilities, there would definitely be many fights.

The Jinling Family's idea was to let these people fight Yang Yi.

Firstly, to display the strength of the Jinling Family.

Secondly, it was also to teach Yang Yi a lesson, to let him know that there are always people stronger than you and higher than you.

This was the information Jin Xiaodie gathered.

As for its authenticity, it could not yet be confirmed.

However, Yang Yi was quite interested in this banquet.

Not because many experts would appear at the banquet, but because this grand feast would be attended by countless beautiful girls.

He could feast his eyes.

Yang Yi specifically asked Jin Xiaodie who the girls attending the banquet were.

Jin Xiaodie immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.

She put on a small, aggrieved face and told Yang Yi everyone she knew.

Although it was a banquet hosted by the Jinling Family, not all the attendees were girls from the Jinling Family.

Some famous and beautiful girls from other places would also come to participate.

One day later, guests from all walks of life had already arrived at the Jinling Family.

Many people were arranged near the courtyard where Yang Yi lived.

Several Clan Chiefs also came to visit Yang Yi, expressing their admiration for him and hoping to have closer ties with him in the future.

At noon the next day, Jin Qiuyan personally met with Yang Yi.

He patted Yang Yi's shoulder, feigning a troubled look, and sighed.

"Our Jinling Family has too many girls."

"But pitifully few men."

"The banquet is about to begin."

"This banquet is extraordinary."

"At that time, there will definitely be young people sparring."

"You are also a part of the Jinling Family."

"Someone will definitely challenge you."

"If you don't want to, you can tell me."

"I'm willing."

Yang Yi found it amusing in his heart.

You could have just told me directly, why beat around the bush?

Jin Qiuyan knew Yang Yi would agree and was not surprised at all.

He slightly worriedly instructed Yang Yi,

"Don't be too ruthless then."

"Just defeat them."

Yang Yi nodded, reassuring him.

The day of the banquet arrived.

Yang Yi was going to be late and hadn't arrived yet.

At this moment, the banquet hall was already packed.

Because there were too many people, in addition to the banquet hall, there were also many people in the garden behind the banquet hall and the front hall.

Next to a rockery in the front hall, several young people gathered together, talking about Yang Yi.

"I heard that Yang Yi gave them a three-star Magic Treasure to form an alliance with the Jinling Family."

"This guy really went all out."

"If he didn't go all out, he wouldn't be alive."

"Although a High Grade three-star Magic Treasure is precious, what good is even a four-star Magic Treasure if you lose your life?"

"Hahaha, well said."

"I heard this guy's Seven Injury Divine Sword is also gone."

"I wonder who he gave it to."

"It's probably still a life-saving measure."

"Do you guys think this guy's strength is greatly reduced without the Seven Killing Divine Sword?"

"Not sure."

"I heard he's still quite powerful even without the Seven Injury Divine Sword."

"He can even defeat Jin Fengxian of the Jinling Family."

"I think the Jinling Family took advantage of Yang Yi and made up this story to cover up for her."
