"Now that you mention this, I remember that Lin Ruowei personally led some people away from the holy land yesterday. I don't know why, but this is a bit unusual. She hasn't been out for many years." Mu Wanyi has never liked Lin Ruowei.

Before she became a saint, Lin Ruowei was arrogant and domineering, and often took the lead in bullying her fellow senior sisters and fellow apprentices.

Fortunately, Lin Ruowei is low-key now, otherwise Mu Wanyi would find something to hold against her sooner or later and give her a good beating.

In the Holy Land, among those of the Holy Lord's generation, Lin Ruowei's cultivation level was second only to Mu Wanyi, rumored to be at the first or second level of the initial Void Refining stage. Perhaps she could no longer match Mu Wanyi in terms of personal strength, but she was still a figure to behold.

As a die-hard member of the Supreme Elders faction, Lin Ruowei has always stood firmly on Xue Zining's side.

It was hard for Mu Wanyi not to notice her going out so abnormally.

Zhao Kangping's brows knitted into a "川" shape when he heard this. He said, "Something's wrong, Senior Sister. We are suppressing the five major families right now, but she didn't try to find a way to exonerate them, but instead did something else."

"I suspect she must have encountered something more important than protecting the interests of the five major families."

After hearing this, Mu Wanyi suddenly understood: "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier."

She suddenly got up from the bed and put on her clothes as quickly as possible.

As a result, the housekeeper followed suit and got up from the bed to change her clothes.

Only Zhao Kangping and his disciple were still lying there, and they didn't seem to have any intention of following immediately.

"Aren't you going to get up?" said Fairy Yuexia.

Zhao Kangping: "I want to lie down for a while."

After all, dual cultivation is also a physically demanding job, especially when it comes to someone like my senior sister who is a juicer, it is the most tiring.

He felt that he needed to rest for a while.

"Jingrou, don't worry about this lazy pig, let's go." A ray of light enveloped the senior sister and the housekeeper. She really didn't care about Zhao Kangping anymore and left very simply.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Zhao Kangping knew that his senior sister must have some things to arrange.

After the two women left, Zhao Kangping stared at the ceiling.

More than two months ago, he lost his cultivation and became a cripple. It was on this bed that Zhao Mengyao raped him.

"Time flies." Zhao Kangping couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Mengyao took advantage of the fact that there was no one else around and snuggled into his arms again.

"I have a gift for you, as a reward for your good performance this time." As he said that, he took out the Chilong Seal.

This was the spoils captured from He Junyan. During the Holy Land Trial, Zhao Mengyao could have actually won first place, but several elders in charge of the exam manipulated the situation and He Junyan took first place.

This Chilong Seal became a prize given to He Junyan.

Before the He family was destroyed, Zhao Kangping was not able to give this item to his disciple. But after the He family was destroyed, even if someone discovered that this item was in his disciple's hands, it would not matter.

"After activating this item, you can use it to attack the enemy's soul, or you can use it to temper your own mental strength. It can serve as a supplement to your offensive means." Zhao Kangping handed her a vermilion seal.

After Zhao Mengyao received the gift, her beautiful eyes sparkled. This item wasn't as valuable as the treasure Nangong Ruyun had given her, but it held a greater weight in her heart.

"Master, I, I love you so much. I can't live without you in this life. No, even in the next life, I want to be your disciple and your woman." The gift was not important, but who gave it was. Zhao Mengyao had completely taken on the shape of her master; not even death could separate them.

Then her hands began to become restless.

"what are you doing?"

"Master, please don't pity me..."

At this moment, love comes like a tide, and it may be out of control.

……

On this day, it was confirmed that the five major families were selling tribute.

From the seizure of tribute, its transfer and storage, to the search for clients, its transport across the border, its protection along the way, and its interaction with clients, tens of thousands of people were involved. Members of the five major families were also implicated.

Because the relationship between Ziyang Holy Land and Yuhua Holy Land had deteriorated before, it just so happened that many of these outflowing tributes were accepted by Yuhua Holy Land, which was already an act of aiding the enemy.

After the incident was exposed, the entire holy land was shaken.

Following the clues, Suzakutang not only apprehended numerous incriminating witnesses but also uncovered a wealth of physical evidence. This included accounts, chat logs on jade slips containing communications between relevant personnel, and the discovery and confirmation of the warehouse in the sewer and various stops along the transport route.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, the participants had no way to deny it.

Many people from the holy land who like to watch the fun have speculated whether the five major families will be destroyed because of this.

But some of the older disciples disagreed.

The power of the five major families is deeply intertwined within the Holy Land. Many members of the Council of Elders come from these families, and they will not sit idly by and watch their families be threatened.

The vassal families of these holy lands were essentially descendants of the first Holy Lord's disciples from the early days of the holy land. Their ancestors had forged ahead with great difficulty and made indelible contributions to the development of the holy land, and thus their descendants had been blessed with protection for generations.

They have been supplying fresh blood to the Holy Land for almost every generation. Any outstanding descendants from large families are sent to the Holy Land, becoming an important source of disciples for the Holy Land. Therefore, since their emergence, they have been closely tied to the Holy Land.

After several generations of holy leaders, those families have experienced rise and fall. Some families have declined and may be replaced by other families, while others have remained prosperous like the Xue family.

During the demon catastrophe more than 3,000 years ago, many vassal families of the Holy Land made heavy sacrifices in the battle for the human race. Many families were almost wiped out, with only a few surviving.

After recuperating for more than a thousand years, the great families headed by the five major families rose again.

But now many people in these families have become decadent and corrupt, and have long forgotten the glory of their ancestors.

"Jingrou, how far can we push the five major families this time? Will they become desperate and unite to rebel?" After announcing the crimes of those families, Mu Wanyi had sent out her own people to control them.

But this is not enough, because the five major families are backed by many elders and that old woman.

If they are really pushed into a desperate situation, they might really go all out and perish together.

Therefore, the wisest approach is to cut the meat with a blunt knife and boil the frog in warm water.

Dongfang Jingrou's pretty face was red all the time, and she couldn't bear to look at the Holy Lord's beautiful face.

Because I always think of some pink pictures.

In a sense, she and the Holy Lord became sisters.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. She said, "I don't think they'll do anything desperate. They'll definitely find a way to mediate."

"These aristocratic families will definitely give up a lot of benefits to our faction. This is a delaying tactic."

Mu Wanyi: "I guess so. Since they want to use a delaying tactic, we can also use their own tactics against them."

"Go and summon those elders from humble or commoner backgrounds. I want to discuss this with them."

The two major factions in the Holy Land, the Holy Lord Faction and the Supreme Elder Faction, actually represent the group of poor and impoverished monks, and the group of monks from aristocratic families respectively.

The so-called "poor families" were actually declining aristocratic families. Although their ancestors had once been wealthy, they had fallen on hard times due to various reasons. Furthermore, they were generally looked down upon and excluded by the larger aristocratic families. Therefore, they couldn't get along with the cultivators of the aristocratic families.

Although she learned that Lin Ruowei seemed to have gone out for some reason, Mu Wanyi still felt that it was more important to stabilize the situation in the holy land first.

Of course, the spy she planted in Jianya Palace should be able to reply to her soon.

She wanted to know the purpose of Lin Ruowei's actions before making the next arrangements.

……

Luo Xueqing figured out some things.

She seemed to have entered the belly of the whale, and it was a small world here.

The most incredible thing is that a civilization has developed here, a kind of intelligent creatures evolved from mushroom fungi. However, the level of civilization of these mushroom people is very low, and they are still in the state of primitive people.

The mushroom people were not big, and an adult one was only as high as her knees.

They have big mushrooms on their heads, a pair of small, round eyes, and round mouths, but no noses or ears. They have short limbs, but their hands don't have fingers, instead they're round like Doraemon's. Overall, they look pretty cute.

But they really don't care about their lives when they fight.

The two groups of mushroom people of different colors probably started fighting for territory.

They hacked at each other with stone weapons, mushroom caps flying and mushroom juice splashing across the battlefield. The fight was extremely brutal.

However, Luo Xueqing felt that they were a bit like a fight at the village entrance.

Just now, in order to observe this creature more conveniently, she had already gotten very close.

As a result, she unknowingly walked to a distance of less than ten feet from the mushroom people.

She wasn't paying attention to her feet and accidentally guessed a branch.

As the sound of branches being stepped on and broken came, the mushroom people looked at her one after another.

This was the first time they had seen humans.

Humans are so huge to them.

They were frightened into stopping the war.

Even former enemies, many mushroom people of different colors hugged each other in fear to encourage each other.

Chapter 307 Rice Bowl and Bacon

It didn't take long for Zhao Kangping to get the dragon tendon from his senior sister, and then he quickly handed it to Fairy Si Ya.

Fairy Si Ya only said that it would be completed in about seven days, and it could probably be delivered back just one day before the city lord's succession ceremony.

Zhao Kangping had no objection to this.

Liu Fucai's plan required him to ask the Saint Bai Qianqian to set the atmosphere for the ceremony.

It would be great if I could use this piano, but if I can't, there's no need to force it, because Bai Qianqian can also use other musical instruments.

He had already told his senior sister about this matter.

Regardless of whether Bai-shi-nii was willing to come or not, she had to come to show her support. Senior Sister would always find a way to get her to come.

This can probably be considered a small punishment for this junior apprentice brother for informing on others.

After leaving Fairy Si Ya, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

To his surprise, there was a visitor at his house.

He is the boss of some small families in the city.

These families are not from the same faction as the five major families. They are often suppressed by the five major families and live their lives cautiously.

Among them, one of the acting heads of the household caught his attention. She was a noble lady with cloud-like hair and red hairpins, a gorgeous figure, and a graceful body. She exuded the charm of a married woman.

Upon inquiry, I learned that this woman, known as Madam Huo, was originally the wife of the head of a small Chen family in the southern part of the city. However, during the turmoil in Chuanliu City, the head of the Chen family fought to the death to protect the family and died in the turmoil.

The death of the Chen family head left behind an orphan and a widowed mother to depend on each other for survival. Fortunately, the Chen family had few branches, and the family members, excluding servants, numbered only about twenty people. Therefore, there were no relatives to compete for the family inheritance.

But it was not easy for Mrs. Huo, a widow, to support the Chen family alone.

As Zhao Kangping expected, the representatives of these small families all came to curry favor with him, the new city lord.

It is no secret that the Holy Lord wants to suppress the five major families.

They had already heard the news from various channels. Zhao Kangping and the current Holy Lord were from the same school, and the Holy Lord was behind him.

These people came to show their goodwill to him and naturally also handed in their own token of allegiance.

Zhao Kangping also experienced the joy of being flattered and receiving bribes, or rather, receiving gifts until his hands were overwhelmed.

Although these people did not come from any big families, they had been operating in the city for many years and had some industries, so they still had some gifts to give.

However, they didn't know Zhao Kangping's preferences, so the most they sent this time were boxes of spirit stones.

Zhao didn't refuse them. These people would live under his rule from now on. Accepting their gifts would put them at ease. There was no need to pretend to refuse and make them feel uneasy.

When Mrs. Huo came to give the gift, Zhao Kangping also noticed that her gift was somewhat unique.

It is not a hard currency like spirit stones.

Instead, he presented three paintings, all of which were still unfolded.

"What is this?" Zhao Kangping was a little confused.

The others all looked at him in amusement, knowing that Zhao Kangping was a cultivator. These three paintings were mortal objects, not magical instruments. Giving these things to the city lord was ridiculous.

Madam Huo's eyes sparkled, and she smiled faintly as she said, "My Lord City Lord, please take a look at this gift later. I can explain it to you personally."

The woman's tone was ambiguous, and there was a hint of charm in her eyes.

If he were an ordinary man, he would probably be completely bewitched by her.

But Zhao Kangping is a cultivator who has reached the state of transformation after all, so this crude charm technique is simply not worth mentioning.

In her past life, Mrs. Huo's beauty would probably have brought disaster to the country and the people. However, he was already accustomed to the most beautiful women, so he didn't care about this little incident at all.

If appearance is rated on a 99-point scale, Senior Sister Mu Wanyi would definitely get 95 points, his two disciples wouldn't be much behind, and Dongfang Jingrou would also get points.
