Chapter 160: The Yin Family’s Battle (Part )
Although there are heaven-defying pills like the Heaven-Defying Acupoint-Breaking Pill, they are not useful to everyone. The user must have a strong talent, and opening all seven orifices is just a basic condition. Otherwise, even if more Acupoint-Breaking Pills are used, it will be useless, and sometimes it will be counterproductive. Feng Huan is also ignorant and fearless, and does not know the taboos of the Acupoint-Breaking Pill. Fortunately, Ziyun's talent is sufficient.
Moreover, this kind of elixir is extremely precious at all times. Even if an ordinary person has enough talent, he may not be able to get even one pill of breakthrough elixir.
Therefore, both of them did not understand the great significance of the opening of this acupoint in Fengmo Continent and Longxing Continent.
The thing has been done anyway, so there is no point worrying about it now. But I must not act so rashly in the future.
After Feng Huan thought it through, he sat down cross-legged and began to practice. Nothing is more important than strength!
……
"What did you say? How could the Second Young Master be missing? What are you slaves doing here? Why don't you just die?"
In the past two days, Madam Yin has been staying at her parents' home to take charge of the overall situation, busy dealing with various affairs and various constraints from Lu Laoer's faction. She rarely dealt with family business matters before, so she was not smooth in handling these affairs, and even felt overwhelmed. Just after dealing with a troublesome matter, before she had time to catch her breath, she heard that the servant brought extremely bad news.
The second young master she mentioned was her second son. Ever since Yin Wei died in the ancestral land, she had tried her best to persuade the head of the Yin family to appoint her son as the young head of the family. It can be said that all her hopes now rested on this son. When she heard the news, she was shocked and angry, and almost fainted from anger.
"What are you doing here? Go find it quickly!" Mrs. Yin shouted angrily.
"Yes, Madam!" The servants responded in panic, turned around and left, starting to look for the missing Second Young Master.
The servant who brought the news was eager to leave immediately, so he responded and turned away.
"Wait, prepare the car for me. I'm going back now. I absolutely cannot rely on you useless dogs." Lu Wanqing scolded in a delicate voice.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Miss, who will take charge of the affairs of the mansion after you leave?" Seeing that she was about to leave, the people under the command of the head of the Lu family became anxious.
"Yes, what will happen to the Lu family if I leave? Will they leave it to that bastard? The head of the family is most likely never to come back, and my son suddenly disappeared at this time. How could it be such a coincidence?" The eldest lady had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but her face looked very calm.
As expected of someone who had seen big scenes, after a brief panic, he quickly calmed down and began to think about what conspiracy was hidden behind this series of changes.
"Could it be that all this was done by that bastard? Does he have the ability to do so? But who else could it be besides him?" The eldest lady speculated secretly in her heart. For a moment, she couldn't make sense of it and was hard to be sure.
"Butler, go call the second son over." The eldest lady ordered with a firm look.
"Yes, Miss!" The butler took the order and left.
Regardless of whether he did it or not, we must test it. The eldest lady knew that at this critical moment, we must not take it lightly, and any subtle clue could become the key to solving the mystery.
"Sister, what do you want to talk to me about? I still have a lot of things to do!" Lu Laoer looked very unhappy when he came over.
"What are you busy with? Are you busy with how to deal with me or how to dispose of my son?" The eldest lady said slowly, but her eyes were fixed on him, not missing any slight expression on Lu Lao Er's face, hoping to find some clues from it.
"Haha? Big sister, you think too much. We are a family. Even if there is a dispute, I will never do anything to my nephew."
It’s a pity that Lu Laoer’s answer was flawless and there was nothing wrong with it.
"I heard from them that my nephew is missing and it has nothing to do with me. In fact, you don't have to worry, big sister. Who in the imperial capital dares to touch your Yin family's young master? Isn't that courting death? I think he probably forgot to go back because he was too playful! You just need to stay in our Lu family and take care of the household for your big brother."
The eldest lady looked at Lu Laoer's earnest words with cold eyes and sneered in her heart. It sounded like she wanted her to continue to be the head of the family, but she kept saying that your Yin family and our Lu family are clearly divided.
"Really? I see you're eager for me to go back!"
"How could that be! If there's nothing else, I'll get busy first!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, I have to go back and take care of something. You are in charge of things here for the time being!"
"That's not good! It's not legitimate, how can I take over? No one will listen to me!"
As Lu Lao Er spoke, he glanced at the confidants of the head of the family who were gathered around.
"Hmph! You guys, while the head of the family and I are away, all matters will be decided by the Second in Command, so you must cooperate well."
How could the eldest lady not understand the implication of Lu Laoer's words? After giving an order, she hurried back to the Yin family in a hurry.
"You all heard it, didn't you? In fact, everyone knows that my eldest brother will never come back. After all, my eldest sister is married and can't stay in our Lu family for long, so the position of the head of the family will be mine sooner or later. If you continue to be stubborn, I don't mind replacing you in advance! Of course, if you are willing to surrender and be loyal to me, I will not treat you unfairly."
"It's the second in command... the head of the family!"
"Hahaha……"
After a round of threats and inducements, Lu Lao Er easily stabilized the situation. Even if the eldest lady came back in a few days, it would be too late to save the situation. Besides, she might not have the energy to take care of the Lu family's affairs.
"I have taken full control of the Lu family. Now it's up to you!" Sitting alone on the throne of the patriarch, Lu Lao Er left a message to someone unknown in front of the Star Ring.
Just as Lu Lao Er expected, when the eldest lady returned to the Yin family, she found that her son’s disappearance was not that simple, and that this was not the only thing that was beyond her control, so she had to focus all her energy on her own affairs. After all, this was her main battlefield.
Although Longxing Continent is dominated by cultivators, not everyone spends all their time on cultivation. The rapid growth period of ordinary people's cultivation is generally not more than 30 years old. After 30 years old, the progress of cultivation is slow, or even stagnant. Those with better talents can extend it by five to ten years. Therefore, except for some people with higher talents, most people pay more attention to family power in addition to cultivation, and spend the main energy of the second half of their lives on managing power.
The eldest lady is very anxious now. After Yin Dong's death, her position was in crisis, but after her planning and pushing her youngest son out, she managed to stabilize her position in the Yin family. Unexpectedly, her youngest son is missing now, and something happened to her family. These two things destroyed all her reliance.
She is now worried about how she can keep her position!
"Could it be that bastard who did it? Just as the second brother said, no one in the Imperial Capital would dare to take such a risk to deal with me, and the child is still young and it is even less likely that he would offend anyone. Only someone inside would have the motivation and courage, and the ultimate beneficiaries of all this are him and the second brother! If it wasn't the second brother, then it must be him. But does this bastard have the guts to do it? Even if he has the guts to do it, he doesn't have the ability to do it, unless someone helps him!"
"But this bastard has no foundation, and he has only been the young master for a short time. It is not easy for him to recruit experts to work for him. Moreover, he does not have much status as the young master. Who else will help him?"
The eldest lady racked her brains to calculate various possibilities, but still had no clue.
"Wait, I remember the person from Yanzilou who came out of the ancestral land with him. His name seemed to be Bingci, and he was the leader of the Demon Sealing Ceremony. Could it be that through this relationship, the little bastard hooked up with Yanzilou?"
"If Yanzilou gets involved, then it will be a bit troublesome. We need to talk to the head of the family about this matter, at least to ask him to be more careful."
I have to say that women's intuition is often quite accurate. After some speculation, although it was not correct, it was not far off.
Thinking of this, she did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately found the head of the Yin family and told him his speculation.
"Are you overthinking it? Dong'er may be born to a slave, but he is my flesh and blood after all. I don't believe he would do such a thing as killing his own flesh and blood. Moreover, based on that one encounter, even though Yan Zi Lou is strong, they wouldn't dare to easily intervene in the family fight of my Yin family!"
The head of the Yin family did not comment. He had seen Yin Dong's performance during this period. He practiced very hard, his ability to make medicine was also growing explosively, and he was very respectful to the elders, including the eldest lady. These aspects were much better than what Yin Wei did. He was a little regretful. Why didn't he realize earlier that his son was so outstanding?
Now that he heard the eldest lady say this, he felt that the eldest lady was taking the opportunity to stir up trouble. He also knew that something had happened to the head of the Lu family, and the eldest lady had lost her greatest support. It was inevitable that she would feel a sense of crisis and would think of ways to deal with Yin Dong. But because of this, he didn't need to care about her. When the head of the Lu family was there, he just tried to hold back and didn't get angry about what the eldest lady and her party did in the Yin family. He was now considering whether to clean up the internal affairs and completely eliminate the Lu family's forces that had infiltrated his Yin family.
