Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Returning to the rented courtyard, Shen Yao felt refreshed and invigorated.

After all, everything she did today was very satisfying, especially her retaliation against Sima Zhenzhen; hehehe, just thinking about what would happen tomorrow morning, Shen Yao was like a cat that had stolen fish, unable to stop covering her mouth and chuckling.

System:...

I didn't expect my own Host to be so childish, but this is also one of the Host's ever-changing styles; who made the Host an invincible existence in this world? In other words, if the evil demons were replaced by the Host, there would be no need to lie low in Jin Jue City for so many years.

'Aiya, I plan to rest, System,' Shen Yao hurriedly instructed the System to focus its energy on Sima Zhenzhen's small courtyard at the Sima Clan Residence; what people who did bad things liked to watch most was a live broadcast, 'Remember to tell me the latest situation.'

The System said it had so little face to relay this, 'I can wake you up to watch the live broadcast.'

Anyway, this function system was always in use, and watching it together with the Host allowed them to interact with each other, which was much more interesting than a single system.

Hearing this, Shen Yao touched her chin and finally nodded to agree to have her woken up.

'Sima Zhenzhen, she is really lucky,' after all, other people didn't have such face; Shen Yao had to sleep until she woke naturally every day, unless something earth-shattering happened, otherwise the consequences of waking her would be very serious.

Sima Zhenzhen could actually make Shen Yao endure sleep deprivation to watch her live broadcast, showing that this person was somewhat amazing in a certain sense.

The changed sleeping dress was light, thin, soft, and tender; Shen Yao lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell into a dream in no time.

Meanwhile, in the study on the other side, Lu Yan did not rest; he was pondering how to organize the evidence of the Sima Clan's crimes and then find an opportunity to send it to the City Lord's Mansion and the Xuan Yuan Clan.

Exposing himself and directly confronting them was not wise; besides, Lu Yan's status in front of the great clans of Floating City seemed insignificant, and he dared not gamble on the Xuan Yuan Clan's attitude.

Perhaps 'let others run a trip for me?' Jin Jue City had many small and medium forces gathered together; their main purpose for coming to Jin Jue City was not for the jade mines visible everywhere, but to use this platform to cling to a powerful backer.

Among them were quite a few forces that wanted to show themselves but lacked a stepping stone.

Lu Yan could choose one or several forces from among them to negotiate with, using the evidence in his hands to exchange for them going to find the Xuan Yuan Clan and the City Lord's Mansion.

As for whether these selected forces could withstand this opportunity, Lu Yan said that before the negotiation, the content that should be said would be explained clearly; if both parties were willing, he couldn't be blamed for deliberately framing people.

Swish swish swish

The candlelight in the study did not go out for a long time; until the sky outside turned dimly bright, the study suddenly became dim.

Lu Yan placed the written evidence separately, then got up and rested in his clothes.

In his sleep, he did not hear the shocked and angry voice from the Sima Clan Residence; instead, Shen Yao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up, and before she could react, a screen was smashed into her face.

Shen Yao:...

Drowsiness receded like a tide; Shen Yao couldn't help but blink her eyes, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was unconsciously raised, 'Did Sima Zhenzhen discover it?'

System:...

Not only did she discover it, but she was also directly angered into fainting.

Whoever slept and woke up to find nothing under them but a bed, went out to the small courtyard and found everything bald everywhere, and several locked rooms were so clean that not even mice came, could remain calm.

Sigh

It was also a sin; provoking anyone was fine, but she had to provoke the hardest person to provoke.

Hearing this, Shen Yao puffed out a laugh and directly rolled back and forth on the bed laughing.

Hahahahaha, so interesting!

It seemed her previous ambitions were wrong; what was the use of just making the other party lose face? When meeting someone thick-skinned, nothing would happen; it was better to make the other party truly feel the loss of money right now.

Mm

With her doing this, without mentioning anything else, Sima Zhenzhen would definitely be scolded by the Elders of the Sima Clan.

Sure enough, on the screen that was smashed into her face appeared most of the people of the Sima Clan.

They were all the masters living in the Sima Clan Residence; their relationship with Sima Zhenzhen was good or bad, but when they really saw Sima Zhenzhen's small courtyard as if locusts had passed through, even the most firm-minded were affected.

'Who is it? Who on earth is it?!'

Elder Sima was really angry; not only was he angry that Sima Zhenzhen was robbed clean under his nose and he lost face, but also that since the thief could move Sima Zhenzhen's small courtyard empty without gods or ghosts knowing, weren't the other small courtyards of the Sima Clan able to come and go freely.

Not every courtyard had five-colored sand protection; Elder Sima's small courtyard also had several places with nothing; after all, the Sima Clan Residence was really too big; besides the more important places, most small courtyards only had simple warning measures, and breaking them was not difficult at all.

Sima Zhenzhen, who woke up again, climbed up from the ground; with a crying face, she walked toward Elder Sima and, without distinguishing right from wrong, begged Elder Sima to make decisions for her.

It was not as simple as losing things; rather, Sima Zhenzhen, having lived for more than ten years, had never suffered such a big loss and grievance.

After all, born with the reputation of the Chen Zhou Sima Clan, even though Sima Zhenzhen was not of the direct line, she still surpassed ninety percent of the great clans in capability.

From childhood to adulthood, the greatest hardship Sima Zhenzhen had suffered was running thousands of miles to Jin Jue City to live, but this was not what she wanted; who made her cause trouble in Chen Zhou? The clan wanted to protect her, so they could only exile her.

Elder Sima:...

In Elder Sima's view, a waste junior like Sima Zhenzhen did not need the clan to cultivate her at all; just wait until she was old enough to be pulled out for a marriage alliance, which could be considered making some contribution to the Sima Clan.

'Alright, crying and wailing, what kind of bearing is this!' As soon as Elder Sima spoke, he successfully made Sima Zhenzhen close her mouth; but who was Sima Zhenzhen? If she could understand looks, she wouldn't have caused trouble to the point of being exiled to Jin Jue City.

She continued to beg Elder Sima to help her catch the culprit.

Elder Sima:...

'Could it be that you have a clue? Do you know who would come to the Sima Clan at night just to empty your small courtyard?'

Sima Zhenzhen:...

Sima Zhenzhen didn't know, but Sima Zhenzhen would make a fuss and fabricate things out of nothing; anyway, she had not restrained her temper in Jin Jue City and had long offended many people, both from great clans and not.

'Zhenzhen thinks that those who could do such a thing must be a force not much different from the Sima Clan.

The most likely is the Xuan Yuan Clan; they have old grudges with the Sima Clan and must have been dissatisfied for a long time; doing these things today is just to give the Sima Clan a warning.

Elder, we cannot swallow this anger; we must definitely return it!'

Sima Zhenzhen began to drag the Xuan Yuan Clan into it; at the same time, in the process of dragging them, Sima Zhenzhen also suspected several other great clans and even people who had minor conflicts with her; the main point was to let no one off.

Elder Sima:...

I knew Sima Zhenzhen was a piece of work, but I never expected her to be this stupid!

And the Xuan Yuan Clan—does she want to drag the Meng Family, the Luo Family, and even the City Lord's Mansion into this?

"…Not exactly, not impossible, Elder," Sima Zhenzhen shrank back but refused to back down; right now she wasn't thinking about the loss of her own property, only the desire to crush her opponent.

"Shut up!"

Elder Sima didn't indulge Sima Zhenzhen, only turned and glared at the others around him.

"Don't join her in making trouble; as for this matter, just pretend you don't know," at the critical moment, it was only a small courtyard that had been cleaned out.

Once they use the evil demons to take all of Jin Jue City for themselves, and Zhongzhou returns to the Sima Clan's hands, hah! Who would still care about the gains and losses of a small courtyard? Losing face!

Elder Sima came in a hurry and left in a hurry, only he left decisively, truly underestimating the trouble a spoiled brat could stir up.

Those exiled to Jin Jue City were not just Sima Zhenzhen, but a whole group of spoiled brats from the Sima Clan.

Among them were several who got along famously with Sima Zhenzhen; they loved gathering to stir up wind and rain, and even if they bullied people on the street, the victims dared not go to the Sima Clan's door to file a complaint.

This time they gathered again, and some ignorant fool even shouted about venting this anger for Sima Zhenzhen, "The Elder has become an old muddlehead; our Chen Zhou Sima Clan has feared no one in so many years, not even the Zhongzhou hegemon Xuan Yuan Clan dares to clash head-on with the Sima Clan."

"Zhenzhen, we won't let this rest; the losses to your small courtyard are small, but our Sima Clan's external reputation is big."

Sima Zhenzhen: …

The losses to her small courtyard weren't small either; at least several years of accumulation had gone to waste.

Rolling her eyes at her speechless clansman, Sima Zhenzhen raised a hand to wipe the corner of her eye, her whole face showing a ruthless expression, "Pack up, we're taking people out."

Whoever took Sima Zhenzhen's things, whether truly or falsely, must spit them out for her.

If the culprit can't be found, everyone takes responsibility; Sima Zhenzhen didn't care if she wronged others, she had to regain her standing outside.

……

When spoiled brats go out, the most unlucky are ordinary people with no background.

Sima Zhenzhen swept from East City all the way to North City according to her list of people she disliked, not caring about anyone's name, background, or capability, opening with a single line: "Thief, take your life!"

Those with big lives could of course survive; those with bad lives would die right there.

Shen Yao: …

Shen Yao was truly stunned by Sima Zhenzhen's stupidity, and yet no one from the Sima Clan went to manage her; instead, they acted as if letting Sima Zhenzhen make a big scene.

You should know Sima Zhenzhen wasn't like this only to ordinary people; even the Xuan Yuan Clan couldn't avoid it, and the Meng Family and Luo Family were even better off not mentioned—purely undeserved disasters.

"Fortunately I didn't go out today, and she doesn't know where I live," otherwise, I'm afraid she'd come knocking to find trouble for herself.

Shen Yao put on a look of being so scared, her hands patting her chest quite convincingly.

System: …

"Host, don't be so affected; if Sima Zhenzhen truly dares to ignorantly come to your door to cause trouble, the Host dares to charge alone into the Sima Clan Residence to demand an explanation; anyway, this world has always relied on strength to speak, the Host has nothing else, but a hard fist and a sharp tongue."

"'Host, if you keep making a scene like this, the balance between the Sima Clan and the other few families will be broken,' by then it will be clear that one could delay but must fight, and Jin Jue City will inevitably fall into the flames of war."

Shen Yao didn't find this surprising at all, because this was fundamentally just a dead end; the Sima Clan and the Xuan Yuan Clan, even the City Lord's Mansion, would inevitably clash, only Sima Zhenzhen acted without thinking and actively pushed this time forward.

"'Without Sima Zhenzhen, there would still be others; even in Elder Sima's view, he tacitly approved Sima Zhenzhen doing this kind of offense,' otherwise Elder Sima could completely stop Sima Zhenzhen from acting recklessly."

So what happened?

Just a few words of scolding in the small courtyard, neither painful nor itchy, and it didn't change Sima Zhenzhen's lawless character; if this isn't indulgence, what is?

Resting her chin on her hand, idly fiddling with the bead string in her hand, she suddenly asked about the situation on Lu Yan's side.

Lu Yan?

The System said Lu Yan's matter was going smoothly; this person had already found several forces willing to cooperate, and had also handed over the evidence in his possession.

"'Those forces really aren't afraid of death; no single great family is something they can contend with, yet they dare to rush forward selflessly,' just to advance further, they would stake the fate of their entire force."

The System didn't quite know what to say, because this kind of thing made sense from anyone's perspective; this was unrelated to right or wrong, it all depended on luck.

"'People, profit first; it's always been this principle since ancient times.'"

After speaking, Shen Yao had the System keep a close watch on the movements in Jin Jue City, thinking to herself that the evidence the City Lord's Mansion and the Xuan Yuan Clan wanted had already been sent over by Lu Yan's people.

So next, would it be the Xuan Yuan Clan and the City Lord's Mansion joining hands to deal with the Sima Clan, or would the Sima Clan take the initiative to attack, firmly seizing the initiative?

To everyone's surprise, whether taking the initiative or responding passively, it had nothing to do with the aforementioned three families.

The first to pull down this cover-up was a small force called the Yuan Family.

Speaking of which, it was related to Sima Zhenzhen; this person was looking for trouble, and just happened to run into the Yuan Family siblings coming out; somehow the two sides had a verbal spat, and when they clashed, the Yuan Family siblings suddenly showed signs of being parasitized, the parasite bursting out of their brains in front of everyone, directly igniting the public opinion of all Jin Jue City.

Next came the extermination of the Yuan Family, closely followed by other parasites appearing; the City Lord's Mansion was exhausted from responding, causing the situation in Jin Jue City to become even more tense, not to mention that people from the Xuan Yuan Clan also appeared to be parasitized.

Just like a circle, bit by bit devouring everyone and every force around.

At this time, when the City Lord's Mansion wanted to join hands with the Xuan Yuan Clan to attack the Sima Clan, they suddenly discovered the Sima Clan had already secretly controlled many people and forces; they were the ones caught in the urn.

"'Oh my, what to do, the situation in Jin Jue City has taken a turn for the worse, worse than before.'"

Shen Yao expressionlessly muttered that Jin Jue City was doomed, while not forgetting to put fruit in her mouth to taste.

Those above were the disturbances happening openly; in secret, they fought even more fiercely.

The City Lord's Mansion joining hands with the Xuan Yuan Clan, plus the Meng Family and Luo Family assisting, still couldn't get any advantage from the Sima Clan, let alone that behind the Sima Clan was an even more terrifying evil demon, with one parasite making everyone wary.

"'Host, how long do we have to wait?' It hadn't forgotten the Host's theory of collecting interest."

"'No rush, we have to wait until they reveal their trump cards,' that way Shen Yao can make an exorbitant demand."

Standing up, pushing open the room door, Shen Yao went to the study to find Lu Yan in a good mood; she had to ask first about the progress of the Flame Lion Spirit Resource, so she could add it when collecting interest later.
