Starting from the creation of Samadhi True Fire at Shenhuoshuo Village

Chapter 10 One son determines life or death
Looking from a distance, you can see the two large gilt characters on the plaque at the front of this family -

"Xiao Mansion"

The Xiao family is another large family in the Dao League.

Unlike the Yang family, which has a strong eye for heaven, and the Dongfang family, which has great fire skills, the Xiao family plays more of a supervisory role in the Tao Alliance.

As a human organization that eliminates demons and cultivates Taoism, the Taoist League can be said to be closely related to the personal safety of the people. Who would want money rather than their lives?
Therefore, the Dao League has accumulated a lot of wealth and social status just by eliminating demons, and where there are interests, there will be intrigues and fights.

Therefore, in order to monitor the improper behavior of the Taoist people in the Dao League, the Black Yao Supervisory Envoy, the exclusive supervisory organization of the Dao League, was born.

In the main hall of the mansion, next to several armored guards, a middle-aged man was sitting in front of the chessboard, playing chess with his subordinates.

He was holding a cup of tea in his hand, his face was rosy, and he looked quite happy.

This is none other than the leader of the Black Glory Inspectorate—Xiao Wancheng, the head of the Xiao family.

The guards were discussing business with him.

"Master, let me refuse the Shi family's offer. After all, the daughter of the Yang family is getting married, so there's no reason why we shouldn't go."

"Yes, my recent itinerary plans have been somewhat conflicted, so why not choose a date..."

Xiao Wancheng remained unmoved by the persuasion of his subordinates.

He just pinched the lid of the tea cup and gently scraped the rim of the cup to let the steam of the tea go down.

"Tsk, no need to say any more. Whether you go or not is a trivial matter. The hidden interests behind this are two different things."

"Do you think there will be losses if you skip a trip to the Yang family?"

--"this……"

The guards looked at each other, not sure what to say.

They are all members of the Heiyao Inspectorate's system, and they must absolutely obey Xiao Wancheng's orders no matter what they think.

Xiao Wancheng smiled slightly, knowing it already.

"I understand what you're thinking."

"The Yang family's status in the Tao Alliance has been getting higher and higher in recent years. Apart from Dongfang and Wang Quan, the Yang family is the first thing everyone thinks of."

"You say you don't dare to go against them, but at the same time you want to control the Yang family's momentum, right?"

Several guards were stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Xiao Wancheng said "Hmm", raised his tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly:
"The Yang family can really ignore us unless we catch them."

"However, you all have also heard that the son-in-law recruited by Yang Fang is a complete waste and is not a Taoist at all."

"Even so, he still arranges for his daughter's marriage with great fanfare. Think about what kind of person he is."

When the guards heard this, they understood a little bit.

Yang Fang is a very upright person. He can even give up his face when necessary, and it is impossible for their supervisors to catch him.

Xiao Wancheng chuckled and took a long breath.

"You still have a lot to learn."

"When to take action and when to wait and see what happens, every step is important."

"Sooner or later, the Yang family will have to kill this piece of chess, but the opportunity has not come yet. There is always a chance for them to do something."

Xiao Wancheng's brows were slightly lowered, showing a somewhat ruthless and sinister look.

It was at this moment that someone suddenly came to report outside the door.

"Report!"

"Come in."

Xiao Wancheng saw the familiar figure of his subordinate and waved to the guards around him.

Soon, several guards dispersed and walked out of the hall, not daring to listen to any more confidential information.

After all, it is a supervisory agency, and leaking information easily is taboo. This is also the rule set by Xiao Wancheng.

"Is it the matter about the Yang family's son-in-law that I asked you to investigate before? How is the progress?"

Xiao Wancheng didn't seem to have any expectations. He didn't even turn his head and just drank tea while talking.The messenger who came to report the news quickly walked to Xiao Wancheng and whispered a few words to Xiao Wancheng.

"..."

"...?!"

Soon, Xiao Wancheng's expression first changed from calm to full of surprise, and then quickly turned into unspeakable ecstasy.

What he heard was obviously about Mu Renzhi and the mountain demon.

"What are you saying is true?!"

"It's absolutely true, but we only have human witnesses and no physical evidence. There's nothing we can do if that idiot bites him to death."

"Hahahaha... It would be better if it wasn't him who bit him to death!"

Xiao Wancheng laughed, the wrinkles on his face getting deeper and deeper, and the back was almost distorted.

"Aiding the demon? It's really a good show... won't the opportunity come now?"

"If he refuses to admit it, the Yang family will lose everything."

"If he admits it, the Yang family will have no choice but to abandon their son."

"No matter which step they take, they will not survive this step..."

As he spoke, Xiao Wancheng's two fingers had already clamped on the black chess pieces, and he flew with one hand, trapping all the white chess pieces and killing them.

--------

It was almost noon.

After the bumpy ride of ships and transfers between carriages and horses, Dongfang Guyue and his party finally arrived at a town not far from Yang Mansion.

The Yang family's wedding was scheduled for the afternoon, and it was still a few hours away.

Dongfang Guyue asked someone to rent the inn, brought his luggage and some of the gifts he had brought with him, and then let Lin Ye and other disciples stay after the arrangements for his two daughters were settled.

Lin Ye's room was on the second floor. As soon as he entered the private room of the inn, he heard a lot of noise and commotion outside.

I opened the window and took a look, wow, there was a bustling street scene outside the window.

It seems that because the whole street has heard about the Yang family's wedding, merchants of all sizes have set up stalls here to take advantage of the opportunity.

Those who fish for fish, those who sell antiques, those who sell snacks and snacks, those who perform jugglers, and even those who perform with their magical powers...

This whole street has completely turned into a temple fair scene.

How could Lin Ye sit still?

I now have the magical skills of a Liuku Immortal Thief, and a lot of food is waiting for me down there. Wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources to just sit here blankly?

After all, there is no Dongfang family kitchen here, so no one cooks for themselves.

Lin Ye quickly went downstairs to find Dongfang Guyue, said hello to him and went out.

Dongfang Guyue is not worried either. Currently, there is nothing that Lin Ye has promised him that he has bothered about.

"Lin Ye, the wedding will start soon. You must remember to go back quickly. Don't delay."

"Yes."

Lin Ye was walking out when Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly took his father's sleeve.

"Master, I also want to..."

"Silly girl, if you call me Master in the villa, why would you call me Master outside?"

"Daddy..."

Being stunned by what his father said, Dongfang Huaizhu's little face turned red with embarrassment.

"You also want to go out with Junior Brother Lin, don't you?"

"Ok!"
