Chapter 97 The Truth

It was a major matter, this struggle between the Ox Seat and the Rat Seat; he dared not exchange such information directly through letters.

However, meeting his contact would have to wait until night at the earliest.

The sky darkened quickly. When others came to inquire, he attributed the fox merchant troupe's affair to the Jingli Ghost case.

In fact, the case was indeed done by the fox merchant troupe. Now it could be considered that the case had come to light. After collecting the evidence, the matter would be over.

The only thing he was curious about was the white-clothed Qingwei who acted so violently.

Lang Qingyi casually pinned the blame on one of his trusted aides, dealt with the matter of keeping it quiet, and regardless of whether others believed it or not, the matter was over.

When it was dark, Lang Qingyi quietly left the Qing Si.

But as soon as he stepped out of the Qing Si, a black blade flashed, and his head rolled to the ground.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

……

Time rewinds to when Lang Qingyi had just left the Da Yang merchant troupe.

At sunset, a maid rushed into the young miss's room in a panic.

"Young Miss! Young Miss! Wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

The maid vigorously shook the young miss, quickly waking her up.

Still drowsy, she muttered, "Steward Hai, I'm sleepy..."

Before she could finish speaking, she paused and immediately woke up completely.

Steward Hai was already gone.

A feeling of suffocation surged into her heart, and it took a while for her to calm down.

Looking at the panicked maid, she asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Tell me slowly."

"Ye, Sir Ye is a member of the Phoenix Organization! He, he is from the Ox Seat, and helping us and driving away the Rat Seat, was all for his own advancement! He has been a member of the Phoenix Organization from beginning to end. We have all been deceived by Sir Ye!"

Wh-what?!

The young miss was dumbfounded.

She had lost her relatives, lost Steward Hai, and now the only person she relied on was Fang Yue.

But now someone was running over to tell her that this only faith was actually false!

The young miss was instantly wide awake, clenched her fist, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't talk nonsense! If you can't produce evidence now to prove that Sir Ye is a member of the Phoenix Organization, I will not spare you!"

"Young Miss, I have served you for so many years, when have I ever lied! I heard this with my own ears! I was preparing to deliver tea to Sir Ye's room when I heard..."

The personal maid quickly told the young miss the details of what happened.

When the young miss finished listening, she looked astonished and incredulous.

"No... it can't be like this... Sir Ye he... Sir Ye..."

If everything was really like this, then everything seemed to be under Sir Ye's control, and all her actions were like a clown.

Those emotional ups and downs, those things she worried about or was moved by, all became meaningless, even ridiculous!

Tears welled up in the young miss's eyes, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I believe him... I believe Sir Ye is not that kind of person, he must be..."

Knock knock knock.

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

The personal maid screamed 'Ah!' and shrank into a corner, shivering as if the one who came was a prehistoric beast.

The young miss calmed down for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me."

It was Sir Ye's voice.

The young miss looked at the personal maid who was shaking her head in the corner, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Come in."

As soon as Fang Yue pushed the door open, the personal maid, who was huddled in the corner, screamed and ran out, crossing paths with Fang Yue.

Taken aback, Fang Yue asked strangely, "What's wrong with her?"

"..."

The young miss did not speak, but looked at Fang Yue with some resentment.

Seeing Fang Yue's calm reaction as usual, she gradually felt relieved.

'I'm so stupid, how could I believe the maid's one-sided words and doubt Sir Ye.'

The thought flashed through her mind, and the young miss said, "Sir Ye, please sit down."

As for the fleeing maid, neither of them paid any attention to her.

"Sir Ye, I just heard the maid say that you met with Lang Qingyi and claimed to be a member of the Phoenix Organization."

Fang Yue nodded and told the young miss the details of what happened.

"Tonight, I will lie in wait for Lang Qingyi. My set of words won't fool the high-level members of the Phoenix Organization. If the news spreads, both me and the Da Yang merchant troupe will be in big trouble."

The Phoenix Organization was fully capable of taking the young miss away, but they just didn't pay enough attention to it.

Even the sudden appearance of the Rat Seat was an accident. At the time, no one even thought that a Rat Seat would appear. Even the Rat Seat himself didn't even wear a mask and just took action casually, which showed that he was just passing by, saw the signal, and helped out casually.

If it wasn't for Fang Yue's strength, the Da Yang merchant troupe would have already been finished.

The fact that it was still alive was just a fluke.

If the Phoenix Organization paid enough attention to this matter afterward, the Da Yang merchant troupe's crisis would increase sharply.

In particular, Fang Yue was impersonating an internal member of the Phoenix Organization. Whether for the sake of credibility, authority, or anything else, the Phoenix Organization would not easily let Fang Yue go.

"Lang Qingyi is the starting point of all my flaws. Eliminating him and stopping the news from spreading from him is the only way we can be a little safer."

"Sir Ye means..."

"Tonight, I will lie in wait for him at the Qing Si. I can't let him live past tonight."

"Lang Qingyi is a veteran Xiantian realm martial artist. Sir Ye, you must be careful when dealing with this matter. If it can't be done, then... we might as well abandon Chu Nuan City, leave this place, and seek other development."

When the young miss said this, a look of sadness appeared on her face.

Her father and Steward Hai had worked hard in Chu Nuan City for a lifetime and finally gained a firm foothold. When she took over, she had to leave... The taste of this was self-evident.

But after sleeping for a day, the young miss's brain was clear at this moment.

She was not so emotional anymore. After analyzing the pros and cons, she understood what was the best choice for the Da Yang merchant troupe.

If possible, who would want to leave their hometown?

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. In addition, the fleeing Duanwei clan should not be able to leave the city in the short term under the Qing Si's encirclement. You..."

"Leave the Duanwei clan to me!"

The young miss said in a deep voice, a fierce light flashing in her eyes.

"I will arrange the best home for them!"

At this moment, the young miss had less naivety and more ruthlessness, as if she had suddenly grown up, giving people a somewhat different feeling.

Seeming to feel that her expression was a bit ferocious, the young miss slightly restrained herself.

"Sir Ye, tonight... I want to act with you."

"That's not appropriate. I may not be able to take care of your safety."

"... I know I will be a burden, but I want to go. Not being able to personally kill the enemies is a problem with my own ability. But at least let me watch Sir Ye cut off their heads for me!"
