Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Conspiracy (Part 2) (2/2)

Liu Yiyuan’s words left the Wu Cai Immortal silent for a while.

After a long moment, Wu Cai Immortal sighed and then opened his mouth to speak:

“You may rise…”

“During this time, I did indeed neglect you.”

After Wu Cai Immortal finished speaking, Liu Yiyuan stood up and then stood there respectfully.

“Tell me, what have you been involved in?” Wu Cai Immortal asked again.

Liu Yiyuan bowed to Wu Cai Immortal and said:

“Yes, Elder Ancestor.’

He knew that the Elder Ancestor had forgiven him, and hastily began to speak:

“Ever since you, Elder Ancestor, discussed that matter with the new steward from Yuebaolou, Master Zheng, I have been keeping an eye on it, and just as Elder Ancestor said, Master Zheng indeed does not tolerate even a speck of dust in his eyes.”

“After he returned, he immediately began an investigation.”

“And eventually traced it back to Lin Jing, and then hosted an examination…”

“Upon learning of this, I felt somewhat uneasy.”

“So…”

“I bribed a Pill Master from Yuebaolou who was going to be assessed on the same day as Lin Jing, planning to trip him up on the day of the examination, to prevent him from passing smoothly.”

“And the date of their examination is today.”

“Just now, the Pill Master from Yuebaolou reported that he has failed, and Lin

Jing still passed the examination in the end.”

“So, after learning about this, I came to see you, Elder Ancestor.”

After hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal frowned and then continued: “Since it has already failed, what do you plan to do next?”

Liu Yiyuan was silent for a moment before he bluntly said:

“I plan to find an opportunity to lure him out of Inner Fang Market and take the chance to get rid of him.”

Wu Cai Immortal looked at Liu Yiyuan and then said:

“I don’t want you to carry out this task.”

“Or rather, you should not be the one to do it, because the Liu Clan as it stands now cannot afford the consequences.”

Liu Yiyuan looked at Wu Cai Immortal and asked: “Elder Ancestor, have you encountered some difficulty?”

“Sigh…’

Wu Cai Immortal sighed and then said:

“I won’t hide it from you, my Liu Clan is currently weak and cannot afford to provoke them.”

Liu Yiyuan was startled and quickly asked:

“Elder Ancestor, what has happened?”

“Actually, even before Master Yi Yuan formed his Golden Core, I had already started making arrangements.”

“I secretly contacted an old friend of mine and wanted him to come take over the steward position at Nanshan Market’s Yuebaolou.”

“With the two of us working together, to drive that Mister Bai out of Nanshan Market, it wasn’t impossible.”

“But somehow, that Mister Bai became aware of it and also used his connections to have this Master Zheng transferred here to Nanshan Market.” “And my old friend was transferred to a market in the north.”

“Now, without an ally and with the Li Family having not recovered from the failure to advance to Golden Core, we are in a weak position.”

“So…”

“What we need most now is patience.”

“Of course, if you are able to get rid of Lin Jing before Mister Bai and the others return, and make sure no one suspects us, I won’t stop you.”

“Remember, you may target Lin Jing, but that young miss Huang Qingling must not be provoked at any cost.”

“I understand, Elder Ancestor,” Liu Yiyuan nodded and said.

Wu Cai Immortal then voiced a warning:

“If you intend to go through with this, you must inform me in advance. Do not act rashly, and don’t repeat a blunder like this time.”

“Otherwise, I will not let you off lightly, whatever the case.”

“Yes, Elder Ancestor,” Liu Yiyuan bowed..
