Song Zhi was at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Gate, waiting for Jialan to send the Lulu family of three to reincarnation.

In the inner city of Zhuangjiabao in Da Mozhou, Zhuang Fei was also busy secretly investigating the sinkhole of Yan Li Mine.

In the study, Zhuang Fei was frowning as he looked at the investigation results compiled by all parties.

Outside the door, a graceful and elegant woman in red, carrying a food box, suddenly knocked on the door of the study.

"Husband, I made some Bu Yuan Decoction, you need to drink it while it's hot."

The beautiful woman's voice was soft and graceful, with a sweet smile and hospitality.

Zhuang Fei kept moving and replied without raising his head: "Come in."

The beautiful woman smiled happily, carrying a huge food box, picking up the corner of her skirt and pushing the door open.

She walked through the tea room and opened the bead curtain. After seeing the noble young man sitting at the desk, the beautiful woman immediately exhaled and her whole body relaxed visibly.

*

"Really annoying!"

"Your embroiderers seem to be stupid. I repeatedly ordered them to sew the hem of the skirt to be bigger when making skirts, otherwise it will affect my walking."

"Hey, it's good for them to do the opposite of me. The embroidered skirt is getting narrower and narrower!!"

A beautiful woman is dignified, luxurious, elegant and generous in front of others. She only wants to serve the good head of the house and her husband, and she appears humble and weak.

But in front of Zhuang Fei, a serious husband, her appearance completely changed. She was arrogant and rude as if she was distracted, and she could not see any trace of the grace of the wife of the house owner.

Looking at his so-called wife who had lifted up her skirt and was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed and eating a lot of food, Zhuang Pi's expressionless handsome face became even more indifferent.

"Axiang, let's talk business."

*

The duplicitous lady is named Thyme.

She is Zhuang Fei's nominal wife.

But in fact, the two are not actually a couple, they are just a cooperative relationship.

Baili Xiang's marriage to Zhuang Fei means that the Baili family, a well-known weapon-refining family in the Desert Continent, has officially joined forces with the banker to achieve win-win cooperation.

Thyme's virtuous and pretentious behavior in front of others was purely for the spies and the banker's uncles who were ready to take action.

Although Zhuang Fei was a direct descendant, he was born from a concubine. In the eyes of other direct descendants of the Zhuang family, he was completely unqualified to compete for the position of head of the family.

But twenty-five years ago, when the battle for the head of the banker family came to an end, it was Zhuang Pi, who had the lowest sense of existence, who came out on top.

It was also at that time that a group of people from the banker were surprised to find out.

Zhuang Fei, the youngest with average qualifications, combined the ancient formation artifacts to refine an eighth-grade spiritual weapon called the Prisoner's Dragon Lock.

Moreover, he was only over a hundred years old, but his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. When the competition for the head of the family was about to come to an end, Zhuang Pi suddenly advanced to the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Absolute suppression of strength, coupled with excellent talent for refining weapons, allowed Zhuang Pi to stand out among all the banker's competitors.

However, this is not enough. If Zhuang Pi, who is weak and weak, wants to secure his position as the head of the family, he needs to find strong and reliable collaborators both internally and externally.

It was easy to talk internally, but with external forces, Zhuang Fei finally chose the Baili family among the three weapon-making families, Ji family, Baili family and Ouyang family.

*

Seeing Zhuang Fei sitting on the big chair with his back straight and his expression indifferent, he looked majestic and sacred.

Thyme spit out the chicken bones in her mouth and used a cleansing technique to remove the grease on her hands and mouth.

After she recovered, she showed a serious look, took out a jade pendant with a flame symbol, and threw it on the desk.

"Here, this is what my grandfather just sent."

"You know this jade pendant. It is a standard accessory of the Ouyang family." "My grandfather said that during the morning ugliness, the brother-in-law of the head of the Ouyang family paid a surprise visit with two men and one woman."

"Among the three people, the old one is at the Nascent Soul stage, while the young men and women are all at the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen. Both the old man and the female cultivator come from the Han Yuan Sect, the first of the six major sects in the East Continent."

"The remaining little one is a descendant of your banker's family, his name is Zhuang Xianming."

"The purpose of the Ouyang family's wife and brother's visit is mainly to persuade me, the Baili family, like their Ouyang family, to switch to the Hanyuan Sect, together with the True Lord Rufeng and Su Xianzi, under the identification of Zhuang Xianming , use the strength of the whole clan to deal with Zhuangjiabao."

"My grandfather never agreed. He only said that he needed to consider it."

"Tsk, Lao Zhuang, what do you think Ouyang Kui thinks?"

"I am the only daughter of this generation in the Baili family. I have been married to you for more than 20 years. We are one husband and wife. Why is Ouyang Kui so stupid that he approached my grandfather to lobby at this time?"

"Isn't it obvious that he revealed the news to you?"

Is this Ouyang Kui an enemy or a friend?

*

Thyme is really confused.

Zhuang Fei behind the desk looked scornful, and his body showed the determination and calmness to control everything.

"If it was really Ouyang Kui's fault, he wouldn't be so stupid as to switch sides to the Han Yuan Sect."

"With his shrewdness and cunning, he will definitely find me personally and hand over Zhuang Xianming's evil deed to me as a surrender letter."

"It's just a pity that Ouyang Kui was secretly harmed by his Taoist companion at the critical moment when he advanced to Yuanying."

"Now, the person in charge of the Ouyang family is no longer Ouyang Kui, but his wife Yan Ru."

"As for why Yanru sent her brother to find the head of the Baili family, huh, isn't it thanks to the good show you put on back then?!"

"Who in this desert continent doesn't know that I, Zhuang Pi, fell in love with my wife Thyme at first sight. I did not hesitate to take her away by force, and threatened you with the future and life of the Baili family to make you marry me willingly."

"In the eyes of outsiders, your Baili family and I, Zhuang Fei, are not one and the same. Instead, we are the sufferers who have been coerced and oppressed by me."

"If there is an opportunity for revenge and resistance, your grandfather will naturally seize it."

It's a pity that those people didn't know the inside story, so they revealed the news and whereabouts to him in vain.

I don’t know if they are stupid or crazy.

Although Zhuang Fei's tone was calm, he did not reveal any other emotions.

But Thyme still shrank her neck with guilt.

If Zhuang Pi hadn't told her, she would have really forgotten the bitter drama she performed on a whim twenty-four years ago when she and Zhuang Pi finalized their intention to cooperate...

It's really a sin to let Zhuang Fei take the blame for so long, hahahaha.

Thyme tried hard to suppress the gloating in her heart. She straightened her face and asked Zhuang Wei seriously about his next plan.

In the past, a demon saint led the demon army to besiege Zhuangjiabao, and later she was involved in the evil incident in the West Desert Tiankeng.

Now, Hanyuan Sect, a famous and upright sect far away in Dongzhou, has come all the way to intervene, suspected of wanting to get a piece of the pie in Desert Continent.

At this time, the banker was as if he was being roasted on the fire.

Although the Baili family has cooperated with Zhuang Pi for more than 20 years.

But if Zhuang Pi cannot calm down this crisis, the Baili family will definitely cut the knot quickly and get out of the crisis.

As for whether she would take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters, it all depends on her grandfather's conscience. (End of chapter)
