After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

The musician carefully avoided the antique fragments on the ground and helped Grand Tutor Yan to sit down on the sofa.

Then she went behind him and massaged his temples.

An invisible wave of calm immediately soothed most of Grand Tutor Yan's furious emotions.

Without the support of his anger, Grand Tutor Yan instantly lost all his strength, looking as if he had aged ten years and was indescribably exhausted.

He sighed heavily and said in a deep voice.

"Blood Shadow's assassination attempt on the Ye family in Jiangcheng failed."

Upon hearing this, the musician frowned slightly, a look of doubt appearing on her beautiful face.

"Yao'er thinks that's unlikely. Lord Blood Shadow brought more than half of our secretly trained experts this time, plus the strength of the Sakura people. How could they not defeat the declining Ye family?"

Grand Tutor Yan sighed again, "I also think it's impossible, but our informants in Jiangcheng and the information from both sides of the Public Security Bureau have confirmed it."

Although the Public Security Bureau said that most of the assassins escaped, they couldn't get through to Blood Shadow by phone, so they were probably already permanently trapped in the Ye family compound.

The zither player gently comforted her, "Did you send Secretary Ma to investigate? Let's wait and see, maybe Lord Blood Shadow is still alive."

Grand Tutor Yan looked worried and remained silent.

Having reached this point, he no longer cared about Xueying's life or death. In any case, Xueying's family was still in his hands, and Grand Tutor Yan was not afraid of him turning against him.

What I fear is that the Ye family will use some special methods to force Xueying to confess.

During those five years, most of the harm he inflicted on the Ye family was carried out by Blood Shadow and his men. Blood Shadow knew far too many secrets.

If he really confesses, the day when he exposes the powerful figures behind him won't be far off.

At that time, Ye Tianfeng will surely be furious, the millions of soldiers in the Qinglong War Zone will surely be furious, and the tens of millions of veterans who retired from the Qinglong War Zone will also surely be furious.

His heart pounded at the thought, and he quickly closed his eyes, not daring to think any further.

If that really happens, half of the sky over Great Xia will collapse.

As the instigator, in order to quell the Ye family's anger, he would inevitably be ruthlessly abandoned by the higher-ups and left to Ye Tianfeng to vent his anger.

Not only him, but his entire family of more than 500 people will probably suffer as well.

All he can do now is pray silently.

I pray that Blood Shadow really escaped, but it's just inconvenient to contact him.

Just as he was thinking this, the door was pushed open, and Secretary Ma rushed in, shattering all his fantasies with a single sentence.

"Grand Tutor, accurate news has come from Jiangcheng: Lord Blood Shadow and the assassins from the Sakura Kingdom broke into the Ye family, but were ambushed by the Ye family's secretly trained experts and were ultimately wiped out."

Grand Tutor Yan stood up abruptly, his dead fish eyes wide open.

"How is this possible? They have so many experts. Even if the Ye family has assassins, how could they possibly kill them all? I even gave Blood Shadow a Explosion Pill."

Secretary Ma shuddered in fright and quickly added something.

"According to our investigation, members of the Hundred Flowers Society were present at the assassination scene. It is very likely that they brought experts who, together with the Ye family's experts, ambushed Lord Blood Shadow and his group."

"The Hundred Flowers Festival? Are you sure?!"

Grand Tutor Yan stepped forward and grabbed Secretary Ma by the collar.

Secretary Ma didn't dare wipe the spittle off her face and said tremblingly.

"The situation is probably true. According to the intelligence we have gathered, the person leading the Hundred Flowers Society this time is Rong Momo, the actual controller of the Hundred Flowers Society."

Grand Tutor Yan released Secretary Ma, walked to the window and paced back and forth, muttering curses under his breath.

"I knew it was her. The Hundred Flowers Society has been on good terms with the Ye family for twenty years, but they've been quiet ever since Jiang Ziyue disappeared. How could they suddenly..."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"I know! It must be that old bastard Rong Ying who broke through to the Golden Core Realm and killed the Pseudo-Core Realm Blood Shadow, as well as the Japanese from Japan! That must be it!"

Aside from Rong Ying, he couldn't think of any other expert who could achieve this level of skill.

It couldn't be that idiot Ye Chen, could it?

Secretary Ma, aware of the seriousness of the matter, spoke with a hint of panic.

"Grand Tutor, the Ye family now has the support of the Hundred Flowers Society, and we've also found out the force that helped the Gu Group get its seal lifted—it's the Yang family, ranked third among the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families. With them backing us up, I'm afraid we can't touch the Ye family!"

"The Yang family is involved too? Just how many more trump cards does the Ye family have up their sleeve?!"

At this moment, Grand Tutor Yan was on the verge of despair.

There is a saying in the Great Xia Dynasty: "Dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain."

The Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families comprise seven families, all with histories spanning over five hundred years and three dynasties, their profound heritage is unimaginable.

If even they support the Ye family, then the powerful figures behind him will probably have a headache.

"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

He slammed his fist on the window, instantly covering the expensive glass window with countless cracks, his heart filled with extreme anxiety.

Despite paying such a high price, even sacrificing his trusted confidant Xueying, the Ye family is still doing well.

His powerful backer must know about this. At best, he will be accused of incompetence; at worst, his loyalty and competence will be questioned.

At that time, those people will not only abandon him, but may also throw him at the Ye family to vent their anger.

Just then, the Sona, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke softly.

"Father, don't worry too much. In Yao'er's opinion, we haven't reached the end of our rope yet."

"Oh, my good daughter, what idea do you have?" Grand Tutor Yan's spirits lifted.

The woman playing the zither curled her lips slightly. "The Ye family is nothing to worry about. What's strong is the forces supporting them. Why don't we start with the Gu family first and pry open a small hole? Things will be much easier then."

Secretary Ma said helplessly, "But the Gu family is difficult to target. The Grand Tutor used a huge favor to have the Gu Group seized, but what was the result?"

"Hehe, dealing with the Gu Group is not easy, but if we destroy the relationship between Ye Chen and Gu Ning, the alliance between the Ye and Gu families will collapse on its own."

"Godfather, Yao'er wishes to make a trip to Jiangnan Province herself."

At this point, something about Sona suddenly changed; her appearance, figure, and overall demeanor exuded an irresistible allure.

"Gurgle."

Secretary Ma swallowed hard, feeling like she was about to lose control.

Even the over-eighty-year-old Grand Tutor Yan couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

After regaining his senses, Grand Tutor Yan burst into laughter.

"Yao'er, your idea is good. In the end, it is people who maintain the relationship between forces. As long as you can take down that idiot Ye Chen and make him divorce Gu Ning, it will be a heavy blow to the Ye family."

Those forces that supported the Ye family will reassess their relationship with the Ye family after witnessing Ye Chen's betrayal.

Upon hearing the zither player's words, Grand Tutor Yan felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the bright moon, and his mind was suddenly enlightened.

Since overt and forceful methods don't work, let's try softer and more underhanded approaches.

As for whether the Qin Girl can win over Ye Chen, Grand Tutor Yan has no worries at all.

This girl named Lan Yao was someone he found with great effort from Miao territory. Not only did she possess a fox-like allure, giving her an irresistible charm that no man could resist, but she was also a Gu master skilled in crafting love potions.

He originally wanted to send Lan Yao to the palace to become the Dragon Lord's concubine.

After all, only a woman like her would have even the slightest chance to compete with Su Feiyan, the most beautiful woman in the Great Xia Dynasty, who was then the Dragon Queen and is now the Dragon Dowager.

Unexpectedly, just as the expert he found had successfully trained Lan Yao, the Dragon Lord suddenly died.

Lan Yao possesses a captivating charm and the ability to please men, but she has nowhere to use it, and he is too old and useless, so she can only stay at home and listen to the zither.

Lan Yao seemed very happy to have been granted permission to leave Longdu.

She bowed slightly and paid her respects to Grand Tutor Yan.

"There's no time to lose, Yao'er. Go back and prepare. We'll set off today. Rest assured, I will make Ye Chen a loyal dog at my feet!"

Just as Grand Tutor Yan was all smiles, a coded number suddenly called in.

He knew it must be that big shot coming to interrogate him, but at least he had some confidence to answer the phone now.
