Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"consult?"

Jiang Yueming withdrew her hand and looked up at Huang Yuyuan, who had a smile on her face.

This person always gave him the feeling that he was smiling while hiding a knife, and was definitely not as easy to fool as Zhao Hao.

"It's like this, a few days ago Elder Jiang Peng of the Jiang family asked me for some healing pills. I wonder how his injuries are doing lately?"

Huang Yuyuan maintained his smile, quietly waiting for Jiang Yueming to speak, his shrewd eyes fixed on the "Jiang family member" in front of him.

Actually, he still had some doubts about whether Jiang Yueming was a member of the Jiang family; he wasn't as single-minded as Zhao Hao.

His question was a trap set for Jiang Yueming; let's see how she handles it.

If Jiang Yueming can give a coherent explanation, then he is a fake member of the Jiang family, because there is no such person as Jiang Peng in the Jiang family at all!

If he can't give an answer, then he can pretend to be angry and insist that he's lying, and then try to trick him again to see how long he can keep up the act.

Of course, Huang Yuyuan had considered the consequences if Jiang Yueming was a true member of the Jiang family, but those consequences were within his tolerance.

Because he was an alchemist, everyone in this world treated alchemists with utmost respect and deference. At worst, they would just give Jiang Yueming a superior pill to settle the matter.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Jiang Yueming insists on pursuing this to the end, he still has a way to deal with it, namely, the head of the Zhang family!

He had once refined pills for the Zhang family head, so the other party owed him a favor.

With the Zhang family as his trump card and his identity as an alchemist, he was not very afraid of the Jiang family, let alone a mere Jiang Yueming.

Unfortunately, Huang Yuyuan was unaware that the Jiang family was no longer the same as it had been a few years ago. Not to mention the elixir, which was of little use to the Jiang family, even the question of whether or not to give face to the Zhang family remained to be considered.

Jiang Yueming could keenly sense the deeper meaning behind Huang Yuyuan's question, and thought to himself in a split second, "With Young Master Huang's status as a second-grade alchemist, healing injuries is more than a piece of cake."

He didn't give a direct answer, which showed a bit of cleverness.

Huang Yuyuan's eyes widened slightly for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang, you flatter me."

Huang Yuyuan hadn't expected Jiang Yueming to speak like that; he didn't mention Jiang Peng at all, or rather, he mentioned Jiang Peng again.

However, it is up to Huang Yuyuan to judge the appropriate measure. In short, Jiang Yueming has thrown the hot potato back at him.

Although Huang Yuyuan's previous plan had failed, his thoughts had been confirmed, and he immediately gave Zhao Hao a strange look.

Zhao Hao immediately understood the deeper meaning, put the golden scroll back into his sleeve, and his face once again showed contempt. He said, "Jiang Yueming, kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I will spare your life. How about it?"

Faced with such a rapid change in the situation, Jiang Yueming frowned slightly and immediately looked at Huang Yuyuan, her expression becoming more solemn.

Huang Yuyuan must have found out something to cause Zhao Hao's attitude to change so drastically. But logically speaking, there was no loophole in what he said just now.

Could it be that he deliberately made Zhao Hao act tough in order to force him to lose his composure first?

wrong!

Jiang Yueming's eyes suddenly sharpened, and when she looked at Huang Yuyuan again, the latter was casually walking back to his chair and sitting down.

He suddenly realized where he had gone wrong, what a hot potato he was dealing with!

If he were truly a member of the Jiang family, he wouldn't be playing these convoluted games with Huang Yuyuan. He's either a member of the Jiang family or he isn't.

Now, his cleverness has backfired, and it is precisely because of Jiang Yueming's ambiguous answer that Huang Yuyuan's doubts have deepened!

This guy is definitely not easy to deal with!

Jiang Yueming lowered his gaze and withdrew his eyes, secretly pondering how to break the current predicament.

Huang Yuyuan sat down in the chair, picked up a cup of hot tea and blew on it gently. Wisps of white steam rose up, obscuring his cold eyes, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to see what other tricks Jiang Yueming had up her sleeve. Of course, his target was never just Jiang Yueming, but Ye Mo behind him!

He could tell that although Ye Mo was gentle and beautiful, she was also very resolute and decisive. To conquer this prey, he had to find her weakness.

It's obvious that Jiang Yueming is her weakness; otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to kill Zhao Hao before.

"Jiang Yueming..." Ye Mo looked worried, her jade-like hand covering her heart tightened slightly, and she hesitated to speak.

She was well aware of the dramatic changes in the situation, but she was currently too preoccupied with suppressing resistance to fight back. If Jiang Yueming were to actually engage in a fight with them, she wouldn't be able to help at all.

Moreover, Zhao Hao has already reached the late stage of the Condensation Realm, and with the addition of Huang Yuyuan, an alchemist, Zhao Hao can advance to the Primordial Realm at any time. Jiang Yueming would definitely have no chance of winning against the two of them at the same time.

Jiang Yueming naturally knew that a direct confrontation was not the best strategy. He slowly spread out one hand towards Zhao Hao and smiled, "Zhao Hao, this area is still under the jurisdiction of Pingjing City, and we have some connections with the Pingjing magistrate. Are you sure we want to make a move?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. "I'm sorry, Yuqian."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao's arrogance immediately diminished. His father had taught him since childhood that in business, one must cultivate good relations with officials, and that it was better to suffer losses than to displease them.

The threatening meaning in Jiang Yueming's words is now quite obvious!

However, Huang Yuyuan, standing to the side, thought it was a different story. He smiled faintly and said, "Jiang Yueming, Zhang Yuan, the father of the newly appointed Pingjing Magistrate Zhang Yuqian, still owes me a favor. Do you think she can threaten us?"

"Hmph, naive! Compared to your background, you lowly crawlers are far inferior!"

Huang Yuyuan's mocking words were not only meant for Jiang Yueming, but also for the lowly people kneeling before him.

This world is just so unreasonable. If you don't have the strength, you're destined to be a lowly crawler. Having the strength alone isn't enough; you also need a powerful background.

Huang Yuyuan possesses both qualities. As an alchemist, he is sought after wherever he goes. As for his background as the heir of the capital city lord, it is enough to intimidate many lowly ants!

On the other hand, what does Jiang Yueming have?

The strength of the Condensation Realm? What a joke! Compared to Zhao Hao of the Tai Shui Realm, Huang Yuyuan is a genuine Ancient Realm expert!

In terms of background, Jiang Yueming is utterly useless. At first, Huang Yuyuan was somewhat wary of him being a member of the Jiang family, but now that concern has long since vanished.

With neither strength nor background, what does Jiang Yueming have to fight them with, or what qualifications does she have to fight them?

"That's right, I forgot that you, Lao Huang, have connections with the Zhang family. Since that's the case, I'm going to go all out and teach this brat a lesson." Zhao Hao suddenly realized something, and then rubbed his fists together and walked step by step toward Jiang Yueming, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

Jiang Yueming had dared to mock him as a Tai Shui Realm cultivator, which had already made him want to kill him, but he didn't immediately strike due to various reasons.

However, now that Jiang Yueming is a lowly worm that can be crushed at any time, he has no more scruples.

"Jiang Yueming, prepare to die! Viper Shadow Slash!"
