Having said that…
Wu Cai Immortal looked up and glanced at Liu Yiyuan, noticing that he was merely bowing his head without any reaction. He didn’t think too much of it and continued to speak:
“That new steward Zheng from Yuebaolou is upright and unwavering, with a strong-willed nature, and someone who can’t be easily bribed or flattered, not tolerating even the slightest bit of dirt in his eyes.” “I know that Lin Jing managed to get into Yuebaolou through connections.”
“So the last time he came over, I casually mentioned it.”
“I reckon Steward Zheng will likely investigate it himself.”
“If everything goes as expected, in a few days, Lin Jing should have his Pill Master Offering Priest status at Yuebaolou revoked and be forced to move out of the Inner Fang Market.”
“By then, you can look for the right opportunity and make your move.”
As he reached this point and saw that Liu Yiyuan still did not show any joy, Wu Cai Immortal further explained:
“After all…”
“Even I cannot act rashly in this Inner Fang Market, for if we alarm the authorities of the market, our Liu Clan will also suffer.”
“This is as far as I can help you.”
After Wu Cai Immortal finished speaking, Liu Yiyuan hurriedly bowed his head, anxiously saying:
“Ancestor, actually, I was also involved in this matter…”
“Hmm?”
Wu Cai Immortal suddenly lifted his head, his eyes gleaming sharply as he looked toward Liu Yiyuan.
Liu Yiyuan knew he should not have been involved in this matter and quickly bowed deeply, saying:
“When Ancestor and Steward Zheng were discussing Lin Jing, I knew that you were doing it for me… ”
Before Liu Yiyuan could finish, Wu Cai Immortal abruptly interrupted him:
“When I mentioned this matter to Steward Zheng, you should have been in the secret chamber. ”
“Who told you about it…”
As his voice trailed off.
The oppressive aura emanating from Wu Cai Immortal grew stronger.
Although he was quite indulgent with this younger generation, it was not always the case, and Liu Yiyuan’s rash involvement in his plan without Wu Cai Immortal’s knowledge had breached the clan rules.
Moreover, this further infringed upon his authority.
As the supreme authority of the Liu Clan, Wu Cai Immortal absolutely would not allow such things to happen.
“Ancestor, it was my father…” Liu Yiyuan said tremblingly.
Liu Yiyuan’s father was the one from the Liu Clan who recently advanced to Golden Core, and when he went to see Steward Zheng, he followed along and thus naturally knew about this matter.
“Hmph…” Wu Cai Immortal let out a cold snort.
“It seems that the rules of our Liu Clan are still too lenient.” Liu Yiyuan ‘thudded’ to his knees and pleaded urgently: “Ancestor, I beg you not to punish my father.”
Liu Yiyuan knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said:
“My father told me about this because he saw how much I was suffering every day and wanted to alleviate my pain.”
“In the past half-year or so, my father has always been worried about me, frequently visiting me.”
“But no matter what, I just couldn’t get over it…”
“I’ve let down my father’s expectations.”
As Liu Yiyuan spoke, his face contorted, seemingly in great agony.
“Even after my father stabilized his cultivation following his advancement to
Golden Core, he was still concerned about me and visited me several times.” “Ancestor, ever since you ordered me to go into seclusion last time…”
“During this period, aside from my father, no one else visited me in the secret chamber. ”
“And my mother, at the time of my birth, she…”
As Liu Yiyuan said this, he lifted his head, his eyes reddened, looking toward Wu Cai Immortal:
“Even you, Ancestor, haven’t seen me, Yiyuan, for a very long time.”
“If you must punish someone, please punish me.”
After finishing, Liu Yiyuan kept kowtowing to Wu Cai Immortal several times.
