After two days of recovery, Duchun City was slowly regaining its former vitality. The streets were full of carriages and horses, the stores had removed the boards from their doors and reopened, and there was still a long queue in front of the Jiang Mansion of people pretending to be "Jiang Yu".

The only difference was that temporary restrictions had been set up everywhere in the city to guard against demonic cultivators, and the checks for entering and exiting the city gates were more stringent than usual.

Ye Anping, now wearing a black brocade robe, was sitting comfortably on the second floor of a teahouse with his sister, drinking tea and listening to gossip.

Snap--

Everyone was startled. A young man dressed as a scholar rolled up his sleeves and waved the folding fan in his hand. "Today, I will tell you the inside story of the Dragon House invasion a few days ago. It is said that this chaos was caused by the Demonic Sect which sent over a Nascent Soul and three Core Formation cultivators. Setting a Blood Spirit Formation, they tried to turn this Dragon Mountain into a place of death on a thousand miles radium."

"Although Immortal Master Li had great spiritual powers, he was now old, and it was difficult to fight one against five. In the end, to protect the Dragon House, he shattered his Core fighting the enemy, and finally burned all those demonic cultivators to ashes."

The young man picked up a cup of tea from the table and said, "This cup of tea is in honor of Immortal Master Li. Have a good journey!!"

The audience also responded. "To Immortal Master Li."

Then, the man snapped his fan close. "However, today, we are not talking about Immortal Master Li, but about four other people."

Some were confused. "Four people?"

"Yes, you may not know that if these four people hadn\'t secretly helped in this demonic cultivators\' matter, I\'m afraid I wouldn\'t have the chance to talk to you here today."

The people in the audience were curious, and someone asked, "Then, who are these four people?"

Snap--

"That\'s a good question!" The narrator loudly snapped his fan. "Too bad I don\'t know."

The audience jeered. "Boo~~"

The narrator waved his hand. "However, these four people also had great powers. It is said that a soaring golden dragon appeared in the Dragon House that day, and it was these four people who summoned it. The golden dragon was full of spiritual energy, and it resembled the dragon companion of the Holy Emperor back then. It may be the descendent of the Holy Emperor. As for the other three, I have a theory, please listen carefully."

Scanning the audience and seeing that their curiosity had been aroused, the man said, "I suspect that two of them are the Young Master and Young Lady of our Duchun City -- Dragon Slayer Society!!!"

?

Hearing this, Ye Anping, who had just picked up the teacup and was about to drink, suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

Someone in the audience asked, "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Everyone, please be patient and listen carefully to what I am going to say. First of all, when the demonic cultivators\' invasion began that day, everyone in Duchun City saw the Dragon Slayer Society members going from door to door to remind everyone to stay indoors to avoid that weird red snow, right?"

"Secondly, I heard from the servants of the Jiang Mansion that Young Master Jiang stayed behind closed doors after this incident. He seemed to have been seriously injured. Even after recovering for two days, there is still no news..."

...

Ye Anping was feeling depressed at the moment. He put down his teacup and looked at Pei Lianxue dozing beside him. With a faint sigh, he took out a few spirit stones from his sleeves and put them on the table, ready to "go away and hide his merits and fame.*"

But just as he stood up, he saw Liang Zhu walking up from the first floor of the teahouse.

Liang Zhu looked at the crowd in the teahouse and complained. "Heh, Sixth Brother, you are quite carefree and idle. Have you come here to listen to stories?"

Ye Anping smiled stiffly. He knew where Liang Zhu\'s frustration was coming from.

The Dragon Slayers Society has been very busy these past two days.

After the demonic cultivators\' invasion, nearly a hundred members of the Dragon Slayers Society died, many shops in Duchun City were damaged, and the original steady supply routes were cut off... There were a lot of miscellaneous things like this waiting to be dealt with.

As for him and Pei Lianxue, they had been either basking in the sun and eating watermelon in the yard, kissing and hugging each other in the bedroom, or condensing their energy and meditating. As a result, Liang Zhu had to go to work injured and didn\'t get much rest for the past two days.

"Brother Liang, I will give you a bonus later."

"Heh!"

Liang Zhu rolled his eyes and sat down next to him. "Right now, the situation of the chambers of commerce in Duchun City is a bit unstable, and when the various branch leaders met earlier, they also quarreled over this matter, so I want to hear your opinion."

"Quarrel?"

"Now that the news of Li Feng\'s death has spread, several chambers of commerce are preparing to move out of Duchun City and find another home. They don\'t have confidence in Miss Li and feel that the Dragon House will collapse completely within a few months. The branch leaders of the Dragon Slayers also suggested preparing ahead of time to find a new master."

Ye Anping pursed his lips. He had expected these things to happen.

After all, business people, cultivators or not, put profit first, and their thinking went much further than ordinary people. While simple people were relieved that things had settled, they were already thinking about the future.

Currently, the Dragon House was like a gamble to them.

---Bet on Li Longling, trusting that she could support the Dragon House?

---Or turn to someone else and find a new way out?

There was no doubt that no one would put their chips on a little girl like Li Longling, who was blind and whose cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining perfection stage.

Right now, the Dragon House had Xiao Yunluo, the young miss of the Black Star Sect, who controlled the situation, so they didn\'t dare to make any big moves. But, once Xiao Yunluo left, Li Longling alone would not be able to retain the various chambers of commerce in the Dragon House.

Without the chambers of commerce, there would be no cash flow, and the Dragon House would have no way to make money. A series of chain reactions would eventually lead to civil strife.

Ordinary mansion guards who couldn\'t get their monthly wages joined forces and ransacked the mansion.

Li Longling had indeed faced such a thing in the game. Although she managed to survive with the personal guards her father left her, she still paid a heavy price.

The Dragon House was in dire straits, and it was not until she reached the Core Formation stage that the situation improved.

Ye Anping sighed and asked Liang Zhu, "Brother Liang, would you bet on Miss Li?"

Liang Zhu was silent for a while before shaking his head. "She is unquestionable in her actions and handling of internal affairs matters, but after all, her cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining perfection stage, so she can\'t intimidate others, not to mention her blindness. In terms of betting, she has a one-in-a-hundred chance of winning."

"That\'s true." Ye Anping shrugged, then said, "Brother Liang, can you help me find some blind cultivators?"

"Blind cultivators?" Liang Zhu frowned slightly, asking, "You have a way to cure her eyes?"

"As you just said, if you lose, you lose a hundred. If you win, you get a hundred times the bet." Ye Anping smiled. He thought for a while and said, "By the way, help me spread some news."

"What news?"

"That there is a reclusive cultivator living in the Dragon Valley outside the Dragon House who can cure Miss Li\'s eye disease."

"...You want to use this news to stabilize the business community in the city?"

"Yeah."

Liang Zhu pondered for a moment but did not question Ye Anping about his way to cure her eyes, then he got up and prepared to go on his errands.

However, he had just taken a few steps when Ye Anping suddenly stopped him. "By the way, there is one more thing that I have to trouble you with."

Liang Zhu looked back. "What?"

"I went to check yesterday. Apart from some bills and some miscellaneous things, there are about three hundred thousand spirit stones in the Jiang Mansion\'s warehouse. Do you understand?"

Liang Zhu raised his eyebrows as he listened, and he nodded. "You want to disappear?"

"Yes, I have to leave. What I\'m thinking is that a group of robbers attacked Jiang Mansion at night, sprinkled some essence to knock out everyone in the house, and then burned down the inner bedroom. Thus, Young Master Jiang and his wife went to the heavens while sleeping. Brother Liang, you are good at these things. What do you think?"

"Hmm..." Liang Zhu thought it was feasible, so he nodded again and said, "Some details need to be adjusted. Cultivators in the Foundation Building stage are not easy to be burned to death, but it can be done. In the following days, I will go to the mass graves outside the city to find the corpses of two Foundation Building cultivators."

"Find someone handsome and someone pretty."

?

Liang Zhu rolled his eyes at him. "They will turn black when burned, anyway."

Ye Anping smiled faintly and added, "By the way, don\'t hurt the servants of the Jiang Mansion when the time comes, and don\'t empty the house completely. Leave something for Young Master Jiang. We are on the right path and should leave a way out in everything we do so that we can be at ease if we meet again."

"The right path? The right path is to have triple personalities?"

?

Ye Anping was stunned before he realized what he meant, and he rolled his eyes at Liang Zhu. "We saved both Young Master Jiang\'s life and the Dragon Slayers Society, and now we are just taking our share of the reward we deserve, that\'s all."

Silently, Liang Zhu stared for a while, then turned around and went downstairs to deal with things.
