The situation with the Yu Family had given Ma Liang a massive headache last time.
Trying to recover debts from such a shameless family without harming or even threatening them—how was he supposed to manage that?
According to Senior Brother Ma Biao, in previous years, Senior Brother Feng Fei would just bypass the Yu Family and collect debts from other families.
After all, dealing with the Yu Family was a waste of time.
But as Ma Liang was pondering what method Ouyang Ling might have to handle the Yu Family, she brought in the senior brothers from the Dark Moon Palace.
At first, Ma Liang was utterly confused by the arrival of the Dark Moon Palace brothers...
What was Ouyang Ling planning to do?
Was she really going to have the Dark Moon Clan brothers go down with the Yu Family?
Soon enough, Ma Liang realized what Ouyang Ling intended.
On a dark and windy night, under Ouyang Ling's direction, the brothers from the Dark Moon Palace excitedly took out ropes they had prepared long ago and arrived outside the Yu Family's gate.First, they thanked Junior Sister Ouyang for the opportunity to participate, and then, without a word, the Dark Moon Clan members all hanged themselves at the Yu Family's entrance.
Ma Liang watched as a dozen bodies swayed in the wind at the Yu Family's gate...
The sight left Ma Liang utterly stunned.
Junior Sister Ouyang... isn't this approach a bit too ruthless?
The Yu Family is just a bit shameless, despicable, and vile, but is there really a need to go this far?
Even I, Ma Liang, think your method is somewhat lacking in decency...
But it turned out Junior Sister Ouyang's approach was indeed effective.
The Yu Family, who were always impervious to threats, panicked at the sight of the row of "corpses" hanging at their gate.
The head of the family, Yu Chengshu, nearly fainted on the spot.
He pointed at Ouyang Ling, cursing and threatening to report to the Grand Sky Sect's ancestors.
In response to the Yu Family head's threats, Ouyang Ling merely smirked coldly.
Report to the Grand Sky Sect?
Go ahead... do it now. If you don't have a map to the Grand Sky Sect, your ancestor Ouyang can draw you one right now.
What are you going to accuse me of?
Have I harmed your family or threatened them?
Since we arrived here, we haven't even set foot inside your gate.
What? You're talking about the people hanging at your entrance?
What does that have to do with me, Ouyang Ling?
Who doesn't have a few brothers with peculiar hobbies?
Our Dark Moon Palace brothers just like hanging around here, is there a problem with that?
We can't harm your family, right? Have our Dark Moon Palace brothers harmed you in any way?
As for threats, there's nothing to say. What have we threatened you with?
We haven't even spoken a word to the Yu Family; our Dark Moon Palace brothers simply enjoy hanging around, and besides, if you look closely... although it seems like we're hanging on your gatehouse, we're actually hanging on a pole we made ourselves.
Our Dark Moon Palace brothers haven't even stepped on your gate, so how can you say we're targeting your family?
After Ouyang Ling finished speaking, Yu Chengshu was left dumbfounded.
I, Yu Chengshu, am shameless... but not to this extent, right?
Ouyang Ling, aren't you the world's number one Spirit Infusion Master?
Do you have any shame?
Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others?
In response to Yu Chengshu's attempt to use reputation as a threat, Ouyang Ling coldly laughed...
My reputation, Ouyang Ling's, is earned through real skill. Anyone who doubts it can come to me personally for guidance, and I'll see if I don't break their fingers for pointing at me.
My reputation wasn't given by others; I earned it myself.
Unlike some families, who shamelessly rely on an ancestor. Aren't you afraid that when your ancestor dies, your family might be wiped out?
What? You say I'm cursing Elder Yu with these words?
Go ahead... tell Elder Yu, and see if I don't dare to confront him face-to-face...
The news of bodies hanging at the Yu Family's gate spread throughout the city in less than half a day. Goodness, citizens and noble families formed various groups to come and observe the scene at the Yu Family.
Seeing those bodies hanging at the gate, the entire city was shocked.
Everyone knew the Yu Family was shameless, but they didn't expect them to be this shameless. What kind of desperation drove people to hang themselves at their gate?
What? You say they're from the Grand Sky Sect?
Nonsense!
What kind of place is the Grand Sky Sect? Would people from the Grand Sky Sect do something this shameless?
The Yu Family is shameless, but is the Grand Sky Sect shameless too?
The Grand Sky Sect is the world's number one sect, and everyone knows the Yu Family's relationship with the Grand Sky Sect. Even for Elder Yu's sake, they wouldn't do something like this, right?
Ma Liang was also bewildered, constantly reminding Junior Sister Ouyang that this might be going too far and could damage Elder Yu's reputation.
In response to Senior Brother Ma Liang's concerns, Ouyang Ling immediately replied, "Senior Brother Ma Liang, Elder Yu is already quite old, what does he need reputation for... Besides, with what the Yu Family has done over the years, what reputation does Elder Yu have left?"
Ma Liang had no words to counter Ouyang Ling's statement.
In just one day, the news of bodies hanging at the Yu Family's gate spread everywhere. In a normal situation, if faced with shamelessness, closing the gate might actually hold up.
But not for the Yu Family...
The Yu Family also had their own business, and their biggest business was the wedding industry.
Over the years, the Yu Family made quite a fortune from weddings.
And now, a family that deals with weddings and joyous occasions has bodies hanging at their gate—how inauspicious is that?
Damn it, any normal family planning a wedding wouldn't hire a family with bodies hanging at their gate to handle the event, right?
So in just one day, countless people who had previously arranged business with the Yu Family came to terminate their cooperation.
The Yu Family suffered heavy losses in a single day.
But it wasn't over yet. Seeing so many people coming to terminate cooperation, Ouyang Ling also felt she might have gone too far.
So that night, Ouyang Ling had the Dark Moon Clan brothers come down from the ropes.
And she announced that to apologize to the Yu Family, they would start performing a "Grand Blood Flower" show at the Yu Family's gate every day.
You ask what a "Grand Blood Flower" is?
It's when my Dark Moon Clan brothers take knives and stab themselves or each other in major arteries... the blood sprays...
Just watch how high it goes...
Hence the name, Grand Blood Flower!
Isn't the Yu Family in the wedding business?
Starting tomorrow, the Grand Blood Flower will spray red everywhere, you tell me if that's festive or not...
Faced with Ouyang Ling's festive performance, that very night, the Yu Family delivered all the debts they owed over the years, including those previously paid off by Elder Yu...
It wasn't that Yu Chengshu wasn't shameless enough; it was that Ouyang Ling was too shameless...
As they say, the bold fear the reckless, the reckless fear the fearless, and the fearless fear the shameless.
Ouyang Ling with the Dark Moon Clan was the perfect combination of fearless and shameless, how could they lose!
Though repaying the debt was painful, if they let Ouyang Ling continue causing trouble at the Yu Family's gate for a few more days... the Yu Family might as well switch from the wedding industry to the funeral business.
Tell me, would any normal person hire a family that performs the Grand Blood Flower show at their gate every day to handle their wedding?
What if, at the wedding, a group suddenly jumps out to perform the Grand Blood Flower... can you even imagine that scene?
Holding the debts the Yu Family had owed for so many years, Ma Liang was in a daze.
With teary eyes, Ma Liang looked at Junior Sister Ouyang, and at that moment, in Ma Liang's eyes, Junior Sister Ouyang was invincible.
Indeed... when someone has no bottom line, they are truly invincible.
Reputation... fame, in Junior Sister Ouyang's eyes, are worth nothing.
So Ma Liang was very curious about how miserable those who tried to collect debts from the Ouyang Family must have been when they were defaulting back in the day.
Ouyang Ling, accompanied by Ma Liang, personally visited the Yu Family to thank them for settling the debts, and she stated that if the Yu Family ever faced difficulties, they could always borrow money from the Grand Sky Sect. They didn't even need to rely on Elder Yu's face; just for repaying the debt so swiftly today, she, Ouyang Ling, would ensure they could borrow. If they dared to borrow, the Grand Sky Sect would dare to lend.
The Yu Family needn't worry... she, Ouyang Ling, would personally come to collect the debt.
If they thought the Dark Moon Palace brothers were too extreme, she had other methods... as long as the Yu Family could withstand them.
Yu Chengshu personally escorted Ouyang Ling out of the Yu Family, swearing to the heavens that the Yu Family would never borrow from the Grand Sky Sect again... just begging Ouyang Ling to leave quickly.
Seeing Yu Chengshu so eager for her to leave, Ouyang Ling expressed regret...
Because she had prepared many good things for the Yu Family, and they couldn't even withstand the first set. They were truly a disgrace to the world of debtors.
Go ask around, when our Ouyang Family was defaulting back in the day, that was true defaulting!
Trying to out-default the Ouyang Family... the Yu Family was still far behind!
Yu Chengshu wiped his tears as he sent Ouyang Ling off. In the past, when people called Yu Chengshu shameless, he didn't mind at all.
But today, Yu Chengshu declared that if anyone ever called him shameless again, he personally wouldn't accept it...
In terms of shamelessness, the gap between him and Ouyang Ling was just too vast.
Compared to Ouyang Ling, Yu Chengshu was a pure and virtuous young man, wasn't he?
Under the farewell of the pure and virtuous young man, Ouyang Ling and Ma Liang arrived at the third family.
Mingguang Sect was in the middle of recruiting disciples, so they couldn't entertain Ouyang Ling and Ma Liang's visit, as recruiting disciples was a major event.
Ouyang Ling understood Mingguang Sect's refusal, acknowledging that recruiting disciples was a big deal, and they could wait until after the recruitment to discuss debts.
So that night, Ouyang Ling arranged for Senior Brother Ma Liang to activate the Wan Ghost Formation to liven up Mingguang Sect's disciple recruitment!
Goodness, that night at Mingguang Sect was a true spectacle of ghostly activity...
Countless young people who came to participate in the disciple assessment wished they had brought more pairs of pants.
Many disciples taking the assessment had only one thought: wasn't Mingguang Sect supposed to be a reputable sect? Didn't they practice the righteous path?
Why did they suddenly engage in a spectacle of ghostly activity? Is this really a reputable sect?
