Yagyu, no, he should be called Yagyu Maru, was dressed as a Japanese man and stood high on the courtyard wall, surrounded by men dressed similarly to him.

"What an idiot! He can't even handle this little thing. It seems we'd better do it ourselves."

The weapon in his hand, which resembled both a sword and a knife, was pointed diagonally in Zhao Yumo's direction. "Fortunately, I didn't place all my hopes on you. While you were out with Lin Xueyi, our people quietly came here, just waiting to wipe you all out today."

"Master, what are you saying? I am your disciple."

"Haha, disciple, you dare to say that? We are..." He seemed to be stopped by something before he could finish his sentence.

"Oh, right, I don't think I've ever formally introduced myself. I am Yagyu Maru, the sect leader of the Isshin-ryu school under the Tengu Guardian of Toying Province. I'm here to make the Zhao family our subordinate. If you agree, I can still protect your safety."

Yagyu Maru wore a confident smile, seemingly unconcerned about the Grandmaster-level expert not far away.

"This is asking us to surrender! What's the difference between the people of Dongying Prefecture and these country bumpkins? You expect us, the people of Qingzhou, to surrender to you? You're truly frogs in a well, utterly laughable."

The white-haired Yagyu Maru smiled noncommittally at the words of the Zhao family patriarch, then waved his hand behind him, followed by shouts of battle.

"What, is it strange? The Zhao family has never had any experts. Do you really think the people you've recruited over the years are the experts of Qingzhou?"

One sentence left the Zhao family members looking at each other in bewilderment. They had always recruited experts from outside, but they had never imagined that these people actually came from the same force, and their goal was simple: to make the entire Zhao family their subordinates.

"Damn it, you guys actually..."

Just as Zhao Yuxuan was about to make a move, Lin Xueyi stopped him, her clear eyes looking at the men on the wall wearing clothes that she found very offensive.

"Although I don't understand why you chose to make your move when I'm here, I still have to say I'm a little unhappy. You can do whatever you want to anyone else, but you had to send this piece of trash to cause me trouble. It seems you guys have quite the nerve."

"Step back. You're not capable enough to resolve this matter. Stay here and protect your family. As for those who come here to cause trouble, leave them to me."

She was in a bad mood lately, and if she didn't teach these people a lesson when they came over, she would be doing herself a disservice.

"Master Lin, I advise you not to move anymore. Don't you think you can no longer freely mobilize your internal energy?"

Yagyu Maru was extremely confident in his operation, not only because of his own strength, but also because of their previous planning.

"At most, you're just an ordinary little girl, not at all..."

Seeing Lin Xueyi's true energy swirling around him as if it were tangible, Yagyu Maru was somewhat bewildered. This was different from what he had expected.

"No, shouldn't you be unable to use internal energy anymore? How can you still use it?"

Somewhat bewildered, Lin Xueyi tilted her head, looked at the white-haired man with a blank expression, blinked her eyes, and asked in an extremely innocent voice.

"Why can't I use my true energy? That's a strange thing to say."

Upon hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Yagyu Maru looked in horror into the distance, as if there were someone there. Then he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, so that's how it is, so that's how it is! I never expected that I, Yagyu Maru, who have spent my whole life hunting geese, would be the one to have my eyes pecked out today. Good, very good. I'd like to see how you deal with this Grandmaster-level expert."

Lin Xueyi frowned as she listened to Yagyu Maru's words. It seemed that the other party had other methods, but they had been stopped by someone and had not been used.

Moreover, it seemed that this method was used on her, which made her even more curious. Could it be that there was another master, or that someone else poisoned her?

However, it's no use thinking about it now. The other party hasn't taken any action, which means there are no clues for her to follow. It's really impossible to come up with anything just by thinking about it in your head.

"Now, can you tell us your purpose? If you do, I'll let you go. After all, you've only caused trouble for the Zhao family so far, so I can still let you leave."

Yagyu Maru looked at the serious-looking girl, but a mocking expression appeared on his face. "Girl, I've seen your tricks many times before, and I use them myself all the time. What do you mean by letting us go? Seriously, even if you don't make a move, your disciple will. Once you cripple my cultivation, anyone can cause us trouble."

Yagyu Maru understood Lin Xueyi's thoughts. She didn't take any action herself, but instead instigated others to do it while she watched from the sidelines. This kind of person was the worst.

He had done the same thing before, but today it was his turn. This situation of being at the mercy of others made him even more unhappy.

"Let's do it."

Lin Xueyi was even more unhappy when she saw that the other party wasn't falling for her trick. Originally, she had only planned to let them go and then spread rumors in the city that they were bad guys from Dongying Prefecture causing trouble. Wouldn't that make things more interesting? And if the other party resisted, things would be even more fun.

But their intention to escalate the situation was seen through before it even began. How could they tolerate that? This utter lack of consideration for others is unacceptable; it's suicidal. Why stubbornly resist when there's a chance to escape? Remember, confession leads to leniency, resistance to jail is severe... Uh... no, no, it should be "confess and seek leniency," meaning to strive for a lighter sentence.

When all the black-clad swordsmen from Dongyingzhou made their move, Lin Xueyi once again showed everyone just how terrifying a Grandmaster-level expert could be.

Her figure vanished from everyone's sight in an instant; in just a moment, all the men in black outside had become dead souls under her grasp.

When Zhao Yuqing saw Lin Xueyi reappear before her, she was so excited that she almost jumped up. In just a short while, the shouts of killing outside had disappeared. It was clear that she had killed all those people.

Wow, that's amazing. Is this what a Grandmaster-level expert is like? If before we saw the destructive power of a Grandmaster, now we're seeing the destructive power of a Grandmaster in this situation.

Everyone knows how powerful the Zhao family is. Yet, in such a short time, they managed to kill everyone outside, centered around this place, in less than a moment.

"Alright, now I'll give you one more chance. Will you tell me or not?"

Lin Xueyi had just returned when she once again pressured Yagyu Maru to make a choice. Zhao Yuqing watched with agitation as this man, who had once held a certain position in the Zhao family, was now driven to a dead end and left in a state of impotent rage.

"Lin Xueyi... Don't think that just because you're a grandmaster you can do whatever you want. This world is vast, and there are ways to deal with grandmasters."

Holding the longsword level, he felt a sharp, protruding fang within it, and stared fiercely at Lin Xueyi with wolf-like eyes. "Remember, we, the Isshin-ryu, are not cowardly wastes who fear death."

"Everyone, charge!"

As soon as Yagyu Maru finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack, thrusting his longsword (knife) directly towards Lin Xueyi. The cold glint at the tip was enough to make some people with sharp fears scream in fright.

For example, Zhao Yuqing was almost screaming out loud. She was still nervously watching Lin Xueyi. If Lin Xueyi hadn't remained calm even when the other party attacked, she might have been so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

As Lin Xueyi calmly raised her hand, her index and middle fingers, as if they had been preordained, were tightly clamped down on the sword just before it was about to strike.

"Hmph, nothing special."

Lin Xueyi's cold words enraged Yagyu Maru even more, but he could no longer get his sword out of its grip.

Zhao Yuqing never had the chance to utter the word "be careful" again, because she watched as Lin Xueyi kicked the old man dozens of meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood a meter away.

"Speak, what are your backup plans? What exactly are you planning to do? Don't tell me you came here just for the Zhao family's wealth. Dongying Prefecture is too far from here. Even if you had the wealth, what could you do with it?"

"Hey... say something, say something..."

At this moment, Ye Qin'er couldn't stand it anymore and gently patted Lin Xueyi's shoulder, "You've already beaten someone to death, what else can they say? Next time you want to ask something, you should stop hitting them before you hit them. Or let someone else hit them."

"Killed?" Lin Xueyi looked at her opponent, whose face was as white as paper. Well, she hadn't noticed, but he really was out of breath. This was getting a little annoying.

"How come this guy is so weak? I only kicked him once. If he's so weak, what are you doing venturing into the martial arts world?"

These words left the others speechless, who were watching helplessly as the old man, who had been kicked away, smashed through the courtyard wall and created a huge crater. Who could withstand such a kick?

"Who else is there?"

Lin Xueyi was thinking, "Who else can confess? That would be fine too." But before she could finish speaking, they swarmed forward. As for the outcome...

The Zhao family home is really full of potholes and needs another renovation. As for the matter between Zhao Yuxuan and Sun Yu'er, well, that will probably take a long time.

This was the only thing that gave Lin Xueyi some comfort, though she refused to admit it was a form of revenge stemming from being a single person.

Main Text: Chapter 147 Zhao Yumo's Death

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was blinded by greed, I know I was wrong."

Watching helplessly as his master was kicked to death, and watching dozens of men in black being swatted away by Lin Xueyi like flies, Zhao Yumo completely broke down.

If at first he still thought someone could save him, now, under Lin Xueyi's powerful attack, he has completely realized that even if the entire Zhao family begs for mercy, it depends on this little girl, no, it should be said that it depends on this young lady's mood.

"Master Lin, Master Lin, please spare me, please spare me. Yu Xuan, Yu Qing, please save me too, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

That pouting is so annoying. As a man, shouldn't you be gritting your teeth and holding back? How can you be so scared before anything even happens? Don't you have any dignity as a man?

In this respect, this guy isn't even as good as that playboy named Feng Linyang. Look at him, he never begged for mercy even at the very end, and kept jumping around on the road to his death.

"I can't make decisions about Master's affairs. You should talk to her yourself," Zhao Yuxuan said, indicating his inability to help. He knew she was going to harm him; there was no way she would let him off easily. Anyone who got involved in something like this was doomed, and he wasn't about to risk it.

Zhao Yuqing was somewhat troubled, but in the end she gritted her teeth and refused. She had finally made an agreement with Lin Xueyi to follow her from now on, and she would regret it if this incident made Lin Xueyi have a bad impression of her.

"You...you're just going to stand by and watch me die? Aren't we family anymore? Am I not a member of the Zhao family?"

Seeing that his pleas for mercy were getting no response, Zhao Yumo became anxious. He was really anxious. Lin Xueyi's expression grew increasingly grim, which meant that his fate could end at any moment.

If someone had pleaded for him at that moment, he might have had a chance to live, but these people were all indifferent to his pleas for help. How could he not be anxious?

Although Zhao Shouting wanted to plead for her, seeing Lin Xueyi's face turning dark, he could only sigh helplessly and remain a bystander.

However, the two people Zhao Yumo spoke to were furious. He said they would stand by and watch someone die, but how could they possibly help in this situation? They were his master! Were they just supposed to let him bully them like this? Were they not allowed to cause him any trouble?

And don't you even consider what you've done? You're risking a girl's innocence to get yourself killed. Why should she let you off the hook? Why should she?

Zhao Yuqing was also very dissatisfied. They said they were family, but he had never treated her as family. When their family was going through the most difficult time, he was known as the genius of the Zhao family. Why didn't he come to help her?

Back when the family wanted her to marry that纨绔大少 (playboy) from the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, didn't he also vote in favor? He was willing to push her into that kind of fire pit, so how come when it's his turn, they've become family and have to help each other?

"Ugh, this is so annoying, so annoying, so annoying! As a man, you should just grit your teeth and let me slap you, isn't that enough? It's just a slap, why is it so troublesome?"

It's just a slap. Anyone who believes it's just a slap is truly foolish. It's not a slap, it's a matter of life and death. Get that straight before you talk.

It's not surprising that his master is clueless, but this time Zhao Yuxuan sided with his master. It's not that he's heartless towards Zhao Yumo, but there's simply no way to plead for him in this matter.

"Master Lin, could you please show mercy? After all, Yu Mo didn't succeed. What do you think..."

Zhao Shouying, who looked much older because of her son's situation, was slowly helped in. She only hoped to leave her son a way out.

"Sure, as long as you can do something for me, that's fine."

Need a favor done? For the Zhao family, the local bigwigs of Luo Xie City, as long as it's not too difficult, they can do it. Moreover, with Grandmaster Lin Xueyi here, those forces will likely give them some face, so getting things done shouldn't be too difficult.

“I remember, three years ago, a woman who came to Rosie City disappeared after meeting this Zhao Yumo. If you can find her and bring her home, that will be fine. It’s that simple.”

Simple, simple, really simple. Zhao Shouying thought that finding someone like this couldn't be simple, so she quickly asked her son who the woman was. However, after seeing his ashen face, she knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"That woman, who has been dead for three years, how can she go home? Besides, her house has been burned down, how could she possibly go back?"

Lin Xueyi smiled slightly, "Not bad, you didn't deny it. It seems you admit that you did it. That woman pleaded for you to let her go, but what did you do? Do I need to say anything more?"

"Master Lin, you..."

"Shut up... Do you want me to list all the things your son has done? If he dares to lay a hand on a Grandmaster today, how many other innocent people has he harmed in the past?"

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. If God doesn't punish this kind of person, then she will do it on God's behalf.

"Hey, am I going to do it myself, or are you going to end it all?"

Looking at Lin Xueyi squatting in front of him with an innocent expression, without even a trace of wariness, Zhao Yumo couldn't help but feel a surge of malice.

"I'll end your life myself."

"careful..."

Zhao Yuqing had barely finished speaking, and was still quite nervous, when unfortunately, her palm strike had no effect whatsoever. It stopped right in front of Lin Xueyi's face and had no chance to go any further.

"If it were so easy for you to ambush me, then there would be no point in me being a grandmaster."

Her small hands cradled Zhao Yumo's head, shifting it slightly in different directions before ignoring the man completely, coldly uttering, "This ending is really too good for you."

Seeing her child fall silent, Zhao Shouying was overcome with grief, but her enemy was this grandmaster, so she could only suppress her pain.
