Chapter 20 The Traitor

"...Anyone who dares to bully me, kill!"

scare!

Despite being a woman, Ye Yin's small stature belied her formidable presence as Li Huailin died under Ning Xiuyang's spear.

As soon as she finished speaking.

Whether it was the Big Sword Society or the Sword-Drawing Sect, all the disciples of both groups stopped fighting and hesitated to advance. Although they held weapons, they only dared to stand timidly against the White Horse Gang members and dared not use any more force.

Ye Yin's words undoubtedly signaled that Divine Sword Manor had fully entered the fray and was vying for control of the Medicine King Gang.

Even if the forces behind the two gangs intervene personally, it will be irrelevant to the overall situation.

No matter how much trouble they cause in Jinshui County, they can't outmaneuver the behemoth that is the Ye family!

"Zifeng, and every member of the Li family, leave no one alive!"

"Send ten more men with me to the Medicine King Gang's headquarters to take it over. Anyone who resists or refuses to obey will be killed!"

Having subdued the crowd, Ye Yin immediately and decisively gave the order, acting swiftly and efficiently.

Zhou Xiuwang turned around, walked out of the Li family mansion, and met Wang Tianyang of the Big Knife Society's gaze. Both of them had a hint of unwillingness in their eyes.

"Miss Ye has some skill; she's raised a good servant."

Wang Tianyang cupped his hands in a sarcastic remark.

The implication was that they were trying to sow discord and plant a seed in Ning Xiuyang's heart, the stable boy.

Little did they know that these two, master and slave, were actually rebels against the Heavenly Gang.

Given the high status of the eldest daughter of the Ye family, how could they have imagined that this sixth young lady was actually a female slave of the horse groom?

嘡！

inside the house.

Ning Xiuyang was almost completely exhausted. The Qingping Sword Technique was extremely domineering, which was also related to his low cultivation level. In just a few moves, it almost drained him of all his energy, leaving him with depleted blood and qi. At this moment, he was practically a cripple.

Seeing him bracing his sword against the ground, two guards immediately stepped forward to help him up.

In this battle, his quick thinking in order to survive, as well as his explosive strength, impressed Ye Yin's guards, who looked at him with new respect and no longer dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

No one sympathized with the downfall of the Li family.

Even Shen Dali, who represented official power, only glanced at it briefly before reining in his horse and leading the team back to camp.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

The martial arts world is a place full of unpredictable events and risks.

When you choose to join in, be prepared to be destroyed.

With the departure of the various factions, Ye Yin finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She rushed into the mansion and, seeing Ning Xiuyang being supported by two guards, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes. However, on the surface, she maintained her arrogant demeanor, pursing her lips and coldly asking, "Little servant, are you alright?"

Ning Xiuyang looked up, stared at Ye Yin, and smiled.

On the surface, it was a warm smile full of tacit understanding, a smile that came after surviving a disaster.

At least, that's how some of the guards saw it.

But when Ye Yin saw that smile, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes darted around unconsciously, as if she felt a little guilty.

She thought back to her hesitation when Li Huailin offered her the secret medicine.

With that little servant's shrewdness, he couldn't possibly fail to see it.

Now that this matter is over, I fear this little servant will punish and humiliate me again...

Recalling those shameful yet suggestive scenes, Ye Yin couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After a laugh.

"You few, escort Master Ning back to his residence to recover from his injuries!"

Ye Yin immediately gave the order.

"yes!"

Ye Yin felt a little uneasy, sensing that the little servant's gaze just now was strange.

She had no choice but to take the opportunity to send him back first, while she went to deal with the Li family and the Medicine King Gang with Huo Zifeng.

The Medicine King Gang's affairs are of great importance, and he still needs to report to his elders. But with this achievement in hand, he has a better chance of winning the succession battle. Thinking of this, Ye Yin couldn't help but look at the back of the person being supported by two guards. The softest part of his heart seemed to be touched.

Perhaps, with that bastard's shrewdness, he could become an asset!

……

"team leader!"

Upon seeing Ning Xiuyang return, He Sanxiang, who had been ordered to return to the manor earlier, hurriedly stepped forward, fawning like a lackey, "Captain, as you instructed, we have taken everyone from the Martial Arts Academy under control in the front hall. Sister Ya'er is currently guarding them, awaiting your and Miss's decision!"

Ya'er was a household slave, Ye Yin's personal maid.

He held a very high position and wielded great power at the Wuhan Conservatory of Music.

The emperor's close ministers have always been highly regarded.

This is naturally no exception in such families.

"Well done! I'll have Miss reward you later."

Ning Xiuyang returned to his room alone. He had taken some dried meat snacks from Ye Yin's room earlier. As soon as he closed the door, he took out the dried meat, chewed it in large mouthfuls, and swallowed it with cold water.

It wasn't until he ate nearly half a pound of dried meat that he felt his strength return slightly.

Then, led by He Sanxiang, they entered the front hall.

A dozen or so servants and maids from the Martial Arts Academy knelt on the ground, silent as cicadas in winter, occasionally whispering to each other, their expressions revealing their worry.

And at the doorway.

Besides Ye Yin's personal maid Ye Ya, who was sitting casually in a grand chair, there were two guards watching over them.

Upon seeing Ning Xiuyang arrive, Ye Ya did not get up. She even frowned slightly and let out a muffled groan, clearly dissatisfied with Ning Xiuyang.

As Ye Yin's personal maid, she had the confidence to be arrogant.

In the entire Martial Arts Academy, apart from the young lady of the main family, she had the most say, after all, she was the young lady's confidante.

Even Li Yunping, who was in charge before, didn't dare to offend her.

"I say, Manager Ning, you've detained all these people here for no reason. So many things need to be done at the Martial Music Academy, and now nobody's doing anything. What are you trying to do?"

"If Miss blames you later, I won't take the blame for you!"

Ye Ya remained seated in her chair, raising an eyebrow and glancing sideways at Ning Xiuyang as he approached. She held a cup of tea in her hand, swinging her fair legs as she rolled her eyes in a sarcastic tone.

Ning Xiuyang frowned slightly and glanced at Ye Ya indifferently.

He could tell from the maid's words that she was plotting something, that she had nothing to do with Ye Yin, and that she was pointing all the finger at him.

These detained servants could only hate him; they couldn't hate the young lady who shone like the sun in their hearts.

"Sanxiang, I remember telling you to detain everyone from the Martial Arts Academy, am I right?"

Ning Xiuyang suddenly spoke.

He Sanxiang, standing behind her, paused for a moment upon hearing this, glancing instinctively at Ye Ya with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. However, he quickly nodded firmly and said, "That's right, that's exactly what Miss instructed!"

His subsequent words were purely embellishments made to support his choice to side with Master Ning.

One is the young lady's personal maid, and the other is the young lady's new favorite, who is in charge of the courtyard and the captain of the guards.

He Sanxiang naturally didn't want to offend anyone.

But after a moment's hesitation, he firmly chose to stand on Ning Xiuyang's side, since judging from the young lady's attitude towards Ning Xiuyang, it seemed that he had a better chance of winning.

"What do you mean?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ya abruptly raised her head, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes. Her face was filled with shock and anger as she retorted, "You want to investigate me too? Ning Xiuyang, don't go too far! I'm Miss's personal maid, I've been by her side for many years, taking care of her daily needs. Everyone here treats me with utmost respect!"

"You think they're being respectful to me? They're being respectful to Miss, understand?"

"Who do you think you are? Just a mere subordinate. You think you've gone too far just because you killed someone who disrespected the young lady?"

"You dare to push your luck? Believe me, I'll have the young lady kick you back to the stables to continue spending your time with horse manure!"
