Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1062 - 565: The Killing Intent in the Dark Night, Take Action, True Person Realm, Behead First!

"Dad, did you really just give those three Red Jade Coins to that petty scoundrel?"

Inside Landlord Li's mansion, after Yi Chen had left, a young nobleman with slicked-back hair and a powdered face emerged from behind a screen. His sinister gaze briefly flitted in the direction Yi Chen had left, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"Hao'er, following your thoughts, what would you like to do?"

Landlord Li, with a leisurely aura, closed his eyes, lightly tapping the surface of the tea table with one hand, asking softly.

His voice was placid like a still well, making it hard to guess his true intentions.

"According to my view, Yi Lifang is a worthless being. That so-called expert of the True Person Realm was likely concocted by him. Since our Li Family has decided to take over his valuable mansion, why not follow through fully? Retain this scoundrel, and after three days go there with the documents to take possession of his residence."

Landlord Li's eldest son spoke in a cold tone that echoed through the room, his triangular eyes narrowing slightly as he turned to look at his father, who was resting with closed eyes, twisting like a snake in the gutter,

"After all, the County Official of Yang City is but a minor official. If they act carelessly and get discovered by that fool, that's not our fault."

"Hao'er, let me ask you, what if the True Person Realm expert that the Yi Family's young master mentioned is real? What will you use to handle that in three days?"

"The three Red Jade Coins?"

"Or do you still think that the main house in Prefecture City can stand up for us and smooth things over? Or if the main house really does step in and settles this matter, do you think what will it cost the Yang City Li Family?"

Landlord Li suddenly opened his eyes, looking at his son filled with a murderous aura, disappointment flashing through his muddled gaze.

"This... impossible, how could the Yi Family know such high-level exponents of the True Person Realm."

"Yi Tianba came from humble beginnings, initiated from smuggling private salt, and thirty years ago, he suddenly settled in our Yang City, transforming magically. Such a character befriending a True Person Realm master is not entirely impossible."

"Moreover, I am clear about my old friend's wealth, his habit of always having multiple escape routes. The wealth we divided from Yi Family's reserves has not reached the level I expected. Therefore, I believe there must be significant secrets in that mansion of the Yi Family, that is why I agreed to that child's request."

Landlord Li sighed heavily, starting to endearingly instruct his eldest son.

"Hao'er, you are the head of the family, wearing boots, you should think bigger. You are not one of those brutes in the Martial World fighting their way to birth with a head in hand, taking such great risks for mere three Red Coins, do you think it's worth it?"

"You look down on Yi Lifang, but I think you are far inferior to him; even I underestimated him, that previous compliment I paid him, saying he is sandalwood not fir, was not a mere jest; everyone has been fooled by him."

"Besides, does our Yang City Li Family really lack these three Red Jade Coins? The money you spent on Miss Shi this year alone exceeds thirty thousand white jade coins."

"Just three Red Jade Coins, consider it as buying peace of mind."

"If what this son said turns out true, then the unlucky ones would be that County Official and his uncle's family."

Thinking of this delightful turn, Landlord Li couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"So, Hao'er, let me ask you one more question, three days later when this child safely departs, what will you do?"

"This... After three days, wouldn't that mansion belong to our Li Family? We've gone in such a big circle and offended the County Master, even though our Li Family doesn't fear him, this matter ultimately leaves a poor taste." Landlord Li's eldest son's eyes flickered as he looked at his own scrutinizing father, expressing hesitation.

"Wrong again, Hao'er, how can I be reassured to entrust the Li family's fortunes to you like this?"

Landlord Li sighed, pushing himself up with the handrails, saying,

"Let's first secure that old mansion, while keeping up appearances with the County Master and the other two families, and then examine it thoroughly once more."

"If there are truly significant treasures within that old mansion, we will swallow them ourselves, then play nice with the other two families to share it equally, appearing as if we could not withstand the pressure and were extending an olive branch to them, pulling them together to resist the County Master."

"After all, this time the County Master has been too domineering in the affairs of the Yi Family; something we didn't give him, he shouldn't just take by himself; this very well teaches him a lesson, letting him know who truly rules Yang City."

"If there's no treasures in the old mansion, the strategy remains the same."

"Hao'er, remember, for families like ours that have looked on for a millennium, the words spoken publicly and actual actions should not be confused; don't fool yourself as well."

"Families like Yi Family come and go, the sky of Yang City has not changed, they gather wealth over the years, but in the end, they simply fatten up our three houses."

"The Yi Family is simply a somewhat larger sheep in Yang City, ordinary people are sheep too, and so is the Yi Family; even without that previous ordeal, Yi Family would still encounter sudden disasters and not live much longer."

"For our grand families, temporary gains and losses, a few jade coins don't mean much; what matters is who owns the sky, as long as the sky of Yang City doesn't change, we can earn back countless jade coins."

"Cough cough, let's go, Hao'er, ponder deeply on what I've said today, if you still can't grasp it, let your younger brother come to serve me instead."

Looking at his father who suddenly wore a compassionate smile, the Landlord Li's eldest son felt a chill and swiftly lowered his head, saying: "Father, I understand."
