or tens of thousands of years; it cannot just be destroyed under his watch."Are you trying to reason with me"Ye Bufan let out a cold smile: "If we live, we live together. If we die, we die together. T...The Shangguan family is a super powerful entity in Xiangxi. The entire family lives on a mountain, with hundreds of bamboo houses stretching from the foot of the mountain to the peak.
These bamboo houses are built with a hierarchy in mind. The closer to the foot of the mountain, the lower the status of the family members. As you move higher, the status increases. The head of the family, Shangguan Xiong, and the second-in-command, Shangguan Zhuo, live at the top of the mountain.
At this moment, the two of them stood together on the bamboo pavilion, gazing at the distant mountains.
Shangguan Xiong asked, "Have there been any news from that kid surnamed Ye Has he come to Xiangxi"
Shangguan Zhuo said, "Recently, I've had my men keep a close watch on him, but I haven't seen any sign of the boy."
Shangguan Xiong muttered, "It shouldn't be like this. With that kid's infatuation with Wang Xue Ning, he should have come over immediately after knowing we put her under a sleeping spell."
Shangguan Zhuo said: "There's been no news from Ye Bufan, but there's been a sudden movement from the Zhu family today."
Shangguan Xiong frowned, "Zhu Youjia What happened to them"
According to my subordinates, Zhu Youjia's daughter, Zhu Youfei, suddenly encountered the long-lost Zhu Youjian in the mountains and was turned into a corpse puppet by someone.
Now let's wish the entire Yu Jia clan is thoroughly destroyed, with everyone mobilized to search for Zhu Youjian.
Shangguan Xiong's expression changed: "How is that possible Wasn't that boy personally refined into a corpse puppet by me How could he appear in the mountains"
"I'm not entirely sure of the details. Our agents at the Zhu Yu Jia residence couldn't penetrate the inner circle, we only heard snippets and rumors."
Shangguan Zhuo said with some worry, "Big brother, do you think it's possible that Zhu Yu Jian was brought to Xiangxi by Ye Bufan"
There is absolutely no way that could happen.
Shangguan Xiong said, "In China, only our Shangguan family can master the art of refining corpses. Moreover, Zhu Youjian was refined by me personally. It's impossible for anyone else to subdue him."
Since Shangguan Hongbing's natal lamp has been extinguished, it means he has been killed by Ye Bufan, and the corpse puppet would have no reason to remain.
Shengguan Zhuo said: "My elder brother is right, but I don't know why the Zhù family suddenly started making a fuss and causing such a commotion."
Shangguan Xiong pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible that Zhu Youguangji, that old devil, is trying to stir up some trouble and cause some commotion for our Shangguan family."
In Xiangxi, everyone knows that the Shangguan family made their fortune from necromancy. Now that it's being said that Zhu Youjian has been turned into a corpse puppet, then we will immediately be targeted.
Shangguan Zhuo said, "Then how should we respond"
"After preparing for so many years, it's time to show our strength. If the Zhu family dares to come to our Shangguan family for trouble, we'll make them disappear from Xiangxi."
Shangguan Xiong said with a sinister expression, "How is things going over at Gu Wang Village"
It is said that the Gu King went out to collect medicine a week ago and has not been heard from since. Now the entire Gu King Village is under An Cai'e's control.
Shangguan Xiong said: "Immediately notify that woman to get ready. As long as Zhu Youjia dares to come to our door and cause trouble, we will join forces to destroy them."
Shangguan Zhu frowned and said, "Big brother, the Zhu family is no ordinary family. That old ghost is also a Heavenly Rank existence. Will An Caier agree to this"
Shangguan Xiong said, "Tell her to help us destroy the Zhu Yu family first. Once we've done that, our Shangguan family will help her ascend to the throne of the Gu King."
She's been secretly working with us for years, hasn't she All leading up to this moment. I doubt she'll miss this opportunity."
"Got it, big bro. I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
After Shangguan Zhuo finished speaking, he turned and left. Shangguan Xiong looked at the mountains in the distance and murmured, "Xiangxi, it's time for our Shangguan family to rule."
Ye Bufan and the other person followed Shangguan Hongqing to the Shangguan family. They were led to a bamboo building used by servants by an estate manager and assigned a separate room.
After making arrangements, they each took on their assigned roles. Ye Bufan started sweeping the floor with a broom while Long Xiaoyue went to wash clothes with the other women.
After half a day, Ye Bufan walked through the entire Shangguan family village with a broom in hand.
Under his psychic scan, he had a basic understanding of the structure and layout of this place.
Due to his thorough preparations that altered his appearance, and his fluency in the local dialect of Xiangxi, he aroused no suspicion.
As the day came to an end and the sun set in the west, they had dinner with the other servants and then returned to their rooms.
Long Xiaoyue whispered, "Little brother, why isn't that boy moving"
"Don't worry, we should do bad things at night. He will be here soon," Ye Bufan said.
Sure enough, after just a few moments of their conversation, the door creaked open and the oily face of the manager appeared before the two of them.
What do you have planned
Ye Bufan stood up and put on an extremely respectful expression.
He turned back to Long Xiaoyue and said, "Come with me, the young master has a few clothes that need washing."
"Okay."
Long Xiaoyue secretly gave Ye Bufan a knowing look, then followed the head official out of the room and walked towards Shangguan Qing's bamboo house.
Although Shangguan Qing is the third generation of the Shangguan family, his status is quite good, living approximately halfway up the mountain.
The servant respectfully knocked on the door and sent Long Xiaoyue in, saying with a fawning smile: "Master, I've brought the person here."
"Alright, you can go now."
After seeing Long Xiayue, Shangguan Hongqing's lecherous eyes couldn't move away from her.
"Understood, master. Just call me if you need anything."
After the man in charge finished speaking, he politely retreated and even thoughtfully closed the door.
Shenguan Hongqing looked at Long Xiaoyue, "How is it Are you adapting here"
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. It's good here. The food and lodging are excellent, much better than back home."
Shengguan Hongqing said: "In the entire Shengguan family, you servants all belong to me."
As long as you make the young master happy, you'll be guaranteed to earn a lot of money in the future, and live comfortably. You won't even have to do anything menial. Do you understand what I mean
"Young Master, to be honest, I'm actually quite content this way."
Long Xiaoyue put on a shy expression and said, “I heard that you have clothes to wash.”
"Yeah, I do have some clothes to wash. I'll get right on it for you."
Shangguan Hongqing said with a lascivious smile, then reached out and took off his shirt.
"Take your clothes off, let me wash them for you."
Shangguan Hongqing let out another giggle, then pulled down his pants, leaving only a red pair of underwear.
Dropping the trousers in his hand, he walked towards Long Xiaoyue with a lecherous smile and said: "Come on, Young Master. I've already taken mine off. Take yours off too, let me see what your figure is like..."
Long Xiaoyue was like a startled little bird: “Young Master, please don’t do this, I belong to Little Brother.”
"My little brother is very capable. Let him know that you treated me like this, he definitely won't let you off."
"Impressive Even a janitor dares to say he's impressive"
Shangguan Hongqing said disdainfully: "That little brother of yours is just trash in my eyes. I want him to live, he lives; I want him to die, he dies."
If you make this young master happy, he'll live. Otherwise, tomorrow he'll be a corpse…"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt a darkness before his eyes and collapsed to the ground with a thud. A black shadow appeared behind him, it was Ye Bufan.to quickly escape into space.To my utter astonishment, the usual feeling of cutting through butter with a knife was absent. The spatial blade in my hand, when swung against the barrier, was met with...
