?68: 068: Shangguan Tianyu’s Plot 68: 068: Shangguan Tianyu’s Plot Upon receiving news of the changes at Mu Family Group, every member of the Qi Family was stunned and couldn’t believe it.

    How had the shares they acquired returned to the hands of the Mu Family?

    Qi Jiashan was so angry he slammed his hand on the table, shattering it.

    They shouldn’t have gone through someone else to buy the shares in the first place, an unnecessary move that resulted in their current passivity.

    The cooked duck had flown away; he had nearly burst a blood vessel from fury.

    “Idiots, a bunch of idiots!

    How did I teach you?

    When you strike, you must strike hard, and leave no way out for yourself.

    Now look what’s happened—they’ve turned around and are eating us alive.

    Wasn’t Old Man Mu supposed to be dying?

    Why is there no word about it?” Qi Jiashan said, looking at his children with his beard fluttering in anger.

    “Grandfather, what exactly happened?” As the most outstanding member of the younger generation in the Qi Family, Qi Zhenning had always been in the limelight.

    He was intelligent, ruthless—carrying the grace of his grandfather in his younger days.

    That was why Qi Jiashan particularly favored this grandson.

    In his eyes, this grandson was genuinely exceptional; at least, no scion of any family in Jinhai City was as prominent as him.

    “Xiao Ning, your marriage to that girl from the Mu Family probably won’t come to fruition now.” Qi Jiashan had missed a critical move; he hadn’t expected Old Ghost Mu to pull off such a stunt on his deathbed.

    “How can this be, wasn’t it already settled?” Qi Zhenning had already sent out the wedding invitations.

    If things fell through, where would Qi Ai leave his face?

    And would he, Qi Zhenning, have the face to meet anyone?

    “We underestimated the Mu Family.

    Though Old Ghost Mu’s progeny are mostly fools, don’t forget about Wan’er’s capabilities.

    She’s able to thrive in Nanzhu, growing her business more extensive by the day.

    We shouldn’t underestimate her,” said Qi Jiashan.

    “That doesn’t make sense.

    As far as I know, she hasn’t taken part in managing the Mu Family business, and her uncles wouldn’t let her get involved either.

    On top of that, she’s always running around hospitals and shouldn’t have spare time to care about these issues.

    Grandfather, could there be some mistake?” Qi Zhenning finished, feeling it was inappropriate and didn’t dare to raise his head.

    “I wish I were mistaken, but the reality is as it is.

    I’ve already received a call from Old Zhou.

    The one in trouble is not his Mu Shi but our Qi Family.

    That Old Ghost Mu has teamed up with a bunch of old ghosts to eradicate us down to the last bone—quite the scheme,” he snorted coldly, though Qi Jiashan was not overly concerned.

    His Qi Family was not so easily overthrown.

    “Master, a young gentleman with the surname Shangguan requests an audience,” the butler came in to report.

    “Xiao Ning, come.

    Let’s go see our distinguished guest.” Qi Zhenning smiled; he had been worrying about what to do next, and now someone had come with timely help amid troubles.

    Inside the Qi Family’s living room, Shangguan Tianyu stood with four middle-aged men, each with an expressionless face and exuding a daunting aura that made the Qi Family’s servants dare not even glance at them.

    They were like beasts ready to devour them at any moment.

    When Qi Jiashan came out, his eyes narrowed slightly at the grand display.

    Surely they weren’t here to cause trouble?

    Qi Jiashan felt somewhat uneasy; he had never considered youngsters like Shangguan Tianyu to be significant.

    “Mr.

    Qi pays his respects to the younger generation,” Shangguan Tianyu nonetheless bowed.

    “It turns out to be Young Master Shangguan.

    May I know the reason for your visit to our Qi Family?” Qi Jiashan didn’t dare to take this lightly, as the Shangguan Family was a prominent Huaxia clan with descendants spread throughout the nation’s major cities, including the branch in Jin City that controlled maritime transport, which signified the power of the Shangguan Family.

    “Mr.

    Qi, I’d like to extend my greetings first.

    I come here for one thing only, seeking help from Mr.

    Qi,” Shangguan Tianyu said with a smile.

    “What is it that I can do for you?

    Speak freely,” said Qi Jiashan.

    “I’m simply looking to borrow some people.

    I hear there’s a happy event on your side?”

    “There might be a change to that,” Qi Jiashan admitted somewhat awkwardly.

    “No problem, I know who’s playing the tricks.

    To be honest, my Shangguan Family certainly wouldn’t consider them a threat, but the local branch here in Jin City doesn’t seem to respect me enough, which is why I have to ask for Mr.

    Qi’s help,” explained Shangguan Tianyu.

    “Young Master Shangguan thinks too highly of my Qi Family,” Qi Jiashan said, his eyes narrowing in a slight smile.

    “Such a cunning old fox,” Shangguan Tianyu thought to himself with a sneer, “Mr.

    Qi, rest assured, if this matter is settled, your Qi Family in Jin City will only grow stronger.”

    “Young Master Shangguan must be joking,” Qi Jiashan replied.

    “Heh, talk is cheap.

    I understand Mr.

    Qi’s concerns, so take a look at this contract.” Shangguan Tianyu tossed it over.

    Qi Jiashan glanced at the contract and his eyes slightly narrowed—what a sharp deal it was, capable of ensuring the Qi Family’s prosperity for at least a hundred years.

    “Decisively done, Black Robe.” Qi Jiashan called out, and a figure in black oddly appeared by his side.

    “What would you have me do, my lord?”

    “Black Robe, for the next few days, obey Young Master Shangguan’s commands and return immediately after completing any task,” Qi Jiashan revealed his trump card.

    Shangguan Tianyu’s eyes shone brightly; he hadn’t expected such a small family to harbor a master of the Innate Post Realm.

    “I thank Mr.

    Qi.

    Then, I shall be deeply grateful,” said Shangguan Tianyu as he left, with Black Robe following behind.

    Qi Jiashan eyed the contract in his hand, tossing all other concerns aside; what he held seemed far more valuable.

    “Black Robe, why not follow this young master?” Shangguan Tianyu said intriguingly, casting a glance at Black Robe behind him.

    “Young Master Shangguan must be jesting.

    I have not yet repaid Mr.

    Qi’s kindness,” was Black Robe’s indirect refusal.

    “No worries, I wouldn’t coerce anyone.

    I quite admire your attitude.

    If you change your mind one day, come find me any time,” Shangguan Tianyu said with a smile.

    “Alright,” Black Robe responded, not believing such a day would come.

    Though now he was but a dog of the Qi Family, it was Qi Jiashan who had saved his life, and he was bound to repay the debt.

    “Black Robe, you know of the Mu Family, don’t you?”

    “I do.”

    “Good, keep an eye on this person.

    Capture him immediately upon sighting him; he’s not simple and should not be underestimated.

    It’s best to employ your strongest efforts in this matter,” Shangguan Tianyu said, handing a photo to Black Robe.

    “Young Master Shangguan, as long as Black Robe lives, the task will be completed,” he stated before turning and vanishing without a trace.

    “Young Master, can we trust him?” a Sky Guard of the Shangguan Family inquired.

    Shangguan Tianyu smiled.

    “Trust him.

    I like the way Black Robe operates—simple, direct.

    If he fails, he dies, which means no loss to me.”

    “Your judgment is astute, Young Master.”

    Shangguan Tianyu was eager to see how Tang Feng would contend with this situation.

    Those he targeted ended up dead or crippled without exception, and this time would be no different.

    He wondered what reaction Tang Feng would have upon learning his family and the Murong Family suffered because of him.

    There weren’t many opponents that Shangguan Tianyu had to chase after.

    At the moment, Tang Feng was enjoying himself at the cafe in a hotel.

    For him, sampling the local cuisine was a delightful experience when visiting a place.

    Moreover, the place was bustling with beauty—the quality and charm of those coming and going were pleasing to the eye due to the sheer variety.

    He wondered what Sister Wan was doing; she hadn’t called, so could it be that Old Master Mu was biding his time?

    Huh!

    That was fast.

    As Tang Feng pondered, several faint killing intents locked onto him.

    The opponent’s strength wasn’t significant, but their skill in concealment was impressive, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

    Tang Feng couldn’t help but regard these assailants with new respect.

    If they were going to play, then let’s play big.

    Just today he had mastered the Soul Capturing Technique, and though it was only the most rudimentary level, it was more than enough to handle these masters of the Innate Realm.
