Chapter 1: The Yang Family's Trash

  【PS: Thank you 'difficult to dream' for 666 coins reward, thank you!! 】

  Yang Lei shook his head and said, "Even if that's the case, what does it matter? Who knows whether you really plan to let my second sister become the palace master of Bishui Palace or just want to take away her inheritance?"

  As soon as she heard this, she shook her head repeatedly and said: "This is impossible. The inheritance of the palace master cannot be taken away by anyone. If such an idea arises, it will definitely suffer from the backlash of the Water Immortal Pavilion."

  At this time, Yang Lei looked at his second sister and saw her nodding slightly.

  "Even so, I still worry, unless you swear with your heart's demon that you will not harm my second sister and protect her safety."

  The four of them nodded and made a vow to their own heart demons, only then did Yang Wei put his mind at ease.

  "Second sister, you go with them. Only by following them can you get the best training and quickly enter the realm of the Martial God." Yang Lei said to Yang Yue.

  "But... but..."

  "Second sister, such a good thing, don't hesitate. Once you have enough personal strength, you can do whatever you want and no one can stop you." Yang Lei had previously heard rumors that the Yang family was planning to form an alliance with the Zhao family again through marriage, and the object of the marriage might be his second sister. Yang Yue also knew a bit about this matter, but she was firmly opposed to it. "And I'll have time to visit you later."

  Yang Yue finally nodded: "Younger brother, you must come see me, otherwise I...I won't acknowledge you as my younger brother."

  …………

  Yang Yue left, but took away a thread of concern in Yang Wei's heart.

  "Xiao Kai, I have something to tell you." At this time, Yang You appeared at the door.

  Yang Lei nodded and guessed that it was probably related to his second sister and the Bi Shui Palace.

  After arriving at the study, Yang Lei asked: "What do you want to know?"

  "What kind of people are they?" Yang You discovered that the cultivation of these four was not weaker than his own, and some were even much stronger, which made him secretly surprised. To think that he was already a first-class Martial God, so what kind of terrifying level had their cultivation reached?

  "I'm not quite sure, all I know is that my second sister received a legacy from a powerful person named Biyan Shui, who established the Bishui Palace. They are the elders of the Bishui Palace and they didn't come with malicious intentions," said Yang Lei.

  "Never mind, it's fine this way." Yang You sighed, the family had intentionally tried to arrange a marriage with the Zhao family, how could he not know about this matter? After all, it was his own daughter, he knew she was unwilling and seeing her unhappy made him uncomfortable too.

  "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going back now, I still have things to do." Yang Lei calculated the time and it wasn't early anymore. Later, he also had to go see Zhao Yuan's father, after all, he had already agreed and couldn't go back on his word.

  This time Yang You found Yang Lei, and what happened with Yang Yue was just one of them. The important thing was something else.

  "Have you encountered anything recently?"

  Yang Lei was taken aback at first, then reacted and roughly guessed what he wanted to ask, which was about his own assassination. It seemed that Yang Bing's matter had already been exposed, and there had been no news of him recently, probably because he had escaped from the capital. As for himself being assassinated by a killer from Tianxing Tower, it was likely that he was the one who did it.

  "I was once besieged by Yang Bing and narrowly escaped, but these past two days I've encountered the killer of Tianxing Tower." As for these matters, Yang Lai didn't plan to conceal them either. Anyway, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't have hidden it, and telling them would be helpful to himself. The old guys from the Yang family wouldn't ignore him after all; he was currently the most talented person in the Yang family for hundreds of years, with the greatest hope of entering the Xuanji Gate as a true disciple.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier?" Yang You was slightly angry, "Do you know that this could have cost you your life? Do you think you've grown wings?"

  In response to Yang You's inquiry, and his concern, Yang Lei smiled lightly: "I know what I'm doing, just the killer of Tianxing Building, as long as it's not a move by the Martial God realm, I can still take care of myself, you don't need to worry."

  "How can you be so naive, thinking that just because you've reached the Martial Emperor realm, you're invincible?!" Yang You's face was burning with anger as he recalled being scolded by several elders this morning. The pent-up anger in his heart suddenly surged up.

  "If you're just saying these things to lecture me, then there's no need." Yang Lei's tone remained as calm and collected as ever.

  "You..." Yang You was so angry that he couldn't speak, and then let out a sigh. Indeed, what right did he have to interfere with him? After a long time, he looked at Yang Wei and said, "If you're not confident, come back."

  Yang Lei shook his head: "No need, I have a true spirit symbol, you don't have to worry."

  "True Spirit Symbol, yes, this is my True Spirit Symbol, you take it." Yang You took out a symbol seal, also a True Spirit Symbol.

  Yang Lei originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Yang You's eyes, he finally nodded and took the token from his hand, saying thank you.

  "You... be careful yourself, as for Yang Bing's matter I will handle it."

  …………

  After leaving the Weiwu Wangfu, he returned to Siqingju. Yang Lei's mind had been thinking about things all along, wondering if he had gone too far, but as soon as he thought of the days he was bullied in the Weiwu Wangfu, that thread of doubt dissipated.

  Because of the jade stone, Yang Lei decided to set up an array, setting up a phantom array in the courtyard of Siqing Residence, which would have some effect.

  Formation Techniques

  "Primary illusion array, activate."

  Yang Lei arranged the jade stones, constantly pinching various mysterious hand seals in his hands. A series of seal techniques were infused into them, and then a faint light screen appeared in the air, but quickly disappeared.

  After doing all this, Yang Lei also imprinted a few seals on several pieces of jade, relying on these pieces of jade to avoid the influence of the formation.

  "Xia Zhu, Chun Lan, and Si Ya, each of you take one of these jade stones with you. Remember, only by carrying this jade stone will you not be affected by the illusion array; otherwise, you will be trapped in the illusion." Yang Lei handed over the three jade stones that had been imprinted with the seal to Xia Zhu and the other two girls, reminding them.

  "Got it, young master."

  Yang Lei waved his hand, indicating for them to go about their own business.

  An hour later.

  Yang Lei's mouth corners rose with a hint of a smile.

  Zhao Yuan arrived and entered the yard, but fell into a fantasy.

  Yang Lei thought to himself, this illusion array is still feasible, and its power is not bad either. At least it has trapped Zhao Yuan, although his current cultivation level is not high, but now he has reached the late stage of a martial artist. A late-stage martial artist being completely bewildered in an array formation proves that Yang Lei's array deployment technique has already shown some effect. However, as for Martial Emperors or Martial Saints, Yang Lei didn't know how long he could trap them, perhaps just a few seconds before they break free, after all, he had never tried it before, so he had no right to comment.

  As the time difference was almost up, Yang Lei made a few swift moves in mid-air and freed Zhao Yuan.

  "Zhao brother, how's this illusion array?" Yang Lei said with a smile, looking at the very disheveled Zhao Yuan.

  Zhao Yuan was so depressed that he couldn't take it anymore and shouted: "You little rascal, aren't you intentionally trying to make me lose face?"

  Yang Lei hastily said, "Older brother, have a cup of tea and calm down. I was just trying out an array formation and was about to find someone to test it with, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."

  "Alas... I guess I'm just unlucky." Zhao Yuan took over the teacup and said helplessly.

  "Brother, you really have a way with words. Yang Lei said with a smile, "However, brother, how's this illusion array? Is it passable?"

  "Little brother, you really surprised me. Not only can you refine the elixir, but you also know how to set up an array. That's too awesome!" Zhao Yuan sincerely gave a thumbs-up. With such talent, someone who can both refine perfect-grade elixirs and set up arrays is extremely rare, almost non-existent.

  "Just a beginner's skill, I'm afraid I've made a fool of myself in front of you, brother." Yang Lei said with a smile.

  "This is just the beginning, I'll set up another one in that courtyard tomorrow, at least it will be more peaceful." Zhao Yuan took a sip of tea and let out a sigh.

  "No problem, just a small matter." Yang Wei smiled and replied.

  "That's a good feeling, thanks in advance, big brother." Zhao Yuan was also very happy to have set up such an array at home, feeling much safer.

  "Older brother, what's our relationship? Do we need to be so polite over such a small matter?" Generally speaking, Zhao Yuan gave Yang Wei a pretty good feeling, so Yang Wei was also happy to chat with him. After all, Yang Wei didn't have many friends in the Chongwu Continent, and Zhao Yuan was one of the best ones. Of course, there was also another person who had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Yang Wei - Yang Qing Shui.

  …………

  Half an hour later, at Changfeng Business Firm, in a courtyard.

  There was no one else, only an old man who looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, that should be Zhao Yuan's father. Although he looked young, he was only in his fifties or sixties, but Yang Lei knew that he should be around eighty years old, but with a high level of cultivation, he looked so young.

  Used an appraisal technique.

  Zhao Yu, a Fourth-Order Martial Saint, an elder of Changfeng Chamber of Commerce

  "Yang, this is my father Zhao Yu," Zhao Yuan introduced.

  "Hello, Old Man Zhao." Zhao Yuan is just Zhao Yuan, and his father is his father, so Yang Lei didn't show any particular enthusiasm either. His tone was very calm, just like meeting an ordinary person, without any extra expressions.

  "Dad, this is Yang Wei, I've told you about him."

  "Yang Lei little brother, I've heard so much about you from afar, indeed a hero emerges in his youth. Come sit down first, let's sit and talk."

  Yang Lei didn't mind either and sat down casually.

  At this time, Zhao Yu gave his son a wink, hinting that he should leave for a while. Zhao Yu didn't want to put his son in an awkward position either. After all, he was not willing to add so much trouble to Yang Lei's life. This time, calling Yang Lei over was also a reluctant move. Zhao Yu understood what his son was thinking, which is why he winked at him to leave.

  Yang Lei was also clear about it, so when he saw Zhao Yuan leave, he didn't say anything.

  "What brings Master Zhao to find me this time?" Yang Wei was very direct, without beating around the bush. He had only come this time because of Zhao Yuan's face.

  Zhao Yu smiled and poured a cup of tea for Yang Wei.

  "Since you and Yuan'er are friends, then don't be so distant either. Just call me Uncle Zhao."

  Yang Lei heard this and involuntarily rolled his eyes, originally he could have been called Zhao Yuan or even grandfather, but was called uncle instead. However, he only thought so in his heart, on the surface he still nodded, anyway for Yang Lei it didn't matter, just a title, wouldn't lose anything because of it, nor did he need to agree to any conditions because of it.

  "Uncle Zhao."

  "That's right!" Zhao Yu hehe smiled, looking very happy.

  "Uncle Zhao, let's not beat around the bush either. This time you asked Brother Zhao to find me, what is it that you want to say? Just speak directly, after all, there are no outsiders here, and if I can help, I will do my best." Yang Lei didn't plan on dragging things out here, he still had many things to attend to.

  "All right, since you put it that way, I won't say any more. This time, I forced Far to bring you here to meet me, was thinking of making you the guest elder of Changfeng Business Firm." Zhao Yuan said straightforwardly.

  Yang Lei was taken aback by the words, shook his head and said: "Uncle Zhao, sorry, this is unlikely to work out. Letting me join Changfeng Commercial House is impossible, I don't like being restricted."

  Zhao Yu seemed to have anticipated Yang Lei's reaction and continued: "Xian nephew, don't rush to refuse, listen to me finish before making a decision."
