The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

In the main hall of the Jiang Mansion, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. The remaining seven branch leaders sitting down were all looking at Pei Lianxue and the sword in her hand with frozen expressions.

Drip drip~~

From the tip of the sword, a drop of bright red blood fell at her feet.

Pei Lianxue looked at Hua Qinyu, who was lying in the main seat with her eyes rolled back, and raised the sword again, ready to stab her twice more and hurry after the man in black who had just escaped.

But Ye Anping stopped her in a loud voice. "Wifey, that's not necessary."

"Oh... okay."

Pei Lianxue nodded and forcefully swung the sword to the side.

Swish---

The blood left on the sword was flung off and then the sword turned into light and flew back to her storage bag.

Ye Anping walked up to her, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her bloody hands. Then, he glanced at Hua Qinyu's condition. She was stabbed straight in the heart, leaving no chance of survival. Strictly speaking, it was best to make use of the sword, but the fundamental purpose of asking his sister to attack Hua Qinyu was not to kill her. Rather, it was about the so-called "three things to do when a new official takes office", and that was to establish his authority in front of the other leaders of the Dragon Slayer Society.

Originally, Ye Anping thought that if Hua Qinyu survived the blow from his sister, he would have said, "Since you have followed my father for decades, I will spare your life."

Unfortunately, his sister was too good, while Hua Qinyu was really too stupid.

Ye Anping glanced at the humanoid-shaped opening that his sworn brother Liang had left on the wall. He sighed softly, then turned to face the seven remaining branch leaders in the main hall and cupped his hands in salute. "Master Chen, Master Xu... My father died before he could finish his business, and now the forces in Duchun City are mingled. If the Dragon Slayer Society wants to continue to exist, you must be united and there should be no differences or inappropriate comparisons. Now that I have returned to the Jiang Mansion, I will pursue my father's will, but I am afraid my commitment won't be enough, so I'd like to ask your help, seniors!"

After speaking, Ye Anping bowed deeply.

The seven people in the hall finally came to their senses. They looked at Ye Anping, relieved, and nodded in response.

The scholarly-looking man stood up and took the initiative to answer Ye Anping. "We have followed Brother Jiang for decades, we only acknowledge the name 'Jiang'. Young Master, you don't even need to ask."

"Thank you very much, Master Xu."

Following that, the rest of them stood up one after another, cupping their hands in salute. "This Madame Hua had a human face but a snake heart. Let's treat what happened today as a blood sacrifice to Brother Jiang's spirit in heaven."

"Thank you, Master Chen."

"To be honest, Young Master Jiang, before you returned, I had been worried about whether you could take up the responsibility of being the Young Master of the Dragon Slayer Society, but now it seems that I was worrying too much. Now, I am willing to recognize you as the master of Dragon Slayer Society."

"Thank you, Master Liu."

"Young Master, I am not good with words, but I will recognize you as my Young Master. Accept my courtesy!!"

"Thank you..."

...

After thanking each master one by one, Ye Anping also pretended to sigh in relief and then gently took Pei Lianxue's hand and said, "Let me introduce to you this girl named Pei Lianxue, whom I met when I was practicing in the forest when I was ten. I took it upon myself to make a promise to her. After building the foundation I planned to bring her home to meet my father, but unfortunately, my father left too soon... Sigh---"

Master Xu nodded and bowed to Pei Lianxue again. "What an ideal couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman. I admire Miss Pei's sword technique a lot..."

Pei Lianxue's eyes lit up when he heard that she and her brother were talented and beautiful, and she quickly nodded in thanks. "Hum..."

"Alright, enough with the polite exchanges." Ye Anping interrupted. "When I came back, although I made some inquiries, after all, I haven't been home for the past seven or eight years, and I am not very familiar with the affairs of Duchun City. Therefore, the matters of the Dragon Slayer Society will be maintained as they are by the branch leaders for the time being."

He looked back at Hua Qinyu lying on the main seat, thought for a while, and said, "As for Madame Hua's Seven Fragrances branch, the medicinal items business managed by her, will be temporarily taken over by Master Xu's Spring Breeze branch. Are there any objections?"

Everyone bowed their heads in silence and acquiesced.

After waiting for a while, Ye Anping nodded, waved his sleeves gently, and said, "Then, you should all go back now. I will invite you to the Jiang Mansion in a few days to discuss future matters."

Everyone cupped their hands in agreement, and as they walked out of the main hall one after another, they glared at Hua Qinyu behind Ye Anping.

After everyone left, Ye Anping called a few servants.

"You guys, bury Madame Hua in a common grave outside Duchun City. Then, take some people to the Seven Fragrances branch and move all the spirit stones back to Jiang Mansion."

Bury her in a common grave?

The servants were stunned, not understanding how to not give her a proper burial.

"..."

Ye Anping didn't care and continued, "Send someone to tell the maids and servants at Madame Hua's house that those who want can stay, and those who don't want to can get three hundred spirit stones and leave on their own. Jiang Mansion will not make things difficult for them."

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing those people moving Madame Hua out of the main hall, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief.

He had to lament: It was really troublesome and tiring to deal with these "domestic affairs" related to the world.

Actually, this type of matter in a noble family was basically presided over by the wife.

No wonder the disciples from the aristocratic families of this world rushed to get married as soon as they reached adulthood.

With a wife dealing with these matters, the husband could truly devote his body and mind to the family business.

"Ai..."

Ye Anping let out a long sigh and suddenly wanted to marry a cultivation partner and go home.

But, he could not marry.

Not to mention that Cold Sky Country was thousands of miles away and full of crises.

But according to the game's timeline, "Xiyue" should be only six and a half years old now, right?

"..."

Seeing him sigh, Pei Lianxue came over and asked, "Husband, are you tired?"

"No, I just felt a little emotional suddenly." Ye Anping looked at Pei Lianxue, smiled helplessly, and then took her hand. "Let's go and see where we are staying tonight, sister."

Pei Yuexue frowned and retorted. "Aren't we a cultivator couple? What sister? It's wife."

Ye Anping was stunned, this girl really got into the drama too deeply. He smiled and said, "... No one else is listening to us at the moment. I called you wife a few times before, but I find it easier to call you sister."

Pei Lianxue suddenly became unhappy and raised her voice. "Wife!!"

"Okay, wifey."

"Okay, hubby."

"How old are you? You still like to play house."

Pei Lianxue looked away, but then she smiled. "...I just like it, and it was you, hubby, who suggested it."

"Okay, then I will play house with you, wifey."

Ye Anping shook his head and pulled her out of the main hall.

He was preparing to go to the backyard of the Jiang Mansion to take a stroll and, in the meantime, to ask the servants for the family ledger to see if there was a need to sell the mansion and get some spirit stones once the incident of the Dragon House was over.

However, as soon as he left the main hall, he walked no more than thirty steps through the backyard and saw a man in black with a livid face standing by the lotus pond.

His clothes were torn in several places. Thinking about it, the "fake fall" he made before seemed to be quite real.

Ye Anping paused for a moment, and then he walked over with Pei Lianxue and took the initiative to talk. "Brother Liang, you haven't left yet?"

Hearing this, Liang Zhu's left eye suddenly twitched.

Buzz buzz buzz------
