s.h.i.+n Jiao is observing what is happening inside the main house as he continually eats his food in the corner. The other guest didn't even bother him and would just casually give s.h.i.+n Jiao weird looks. They too didn't know why the Yangs have invited a mortal to dine in their house.

However, they dared not voice out their complaints because they heard that the man was brought back by the youngest miss of the Yang family.

As the dinner continues, s.h.i.+n Jiao already knew what is happening inside.

When he saw that Wen Mo Yang stood up and began to argue with the three new visitors, he knew that everything would become troublesome.

Suddenly he saw that Wen Mo Yang took out her sword, and he also noticed the old man suddenly preparing a needle in his hand. He knew that things would go south if this continues.

Then he noticed that the old man's needle is not that simple. It is actually lazed with poison, an invisible poison. This means that the poison cannot be detected, or maybe, the needle itself is the poison. s.h.i.+n Jiao a.n.a.lyzed the needle with his absolute sense and showed a surprised look in his eyes.

His conjecture was right. The whole needle is actually made of poison. If that needle enters the bloodstream, he deduced that it would melt and flow inside the body of a person. Hence they would die without knowing what the cause it.

"What a tricky old man… that is one sinister trick… sinister, but admirable…" s.h.i.+n Jiao thought as a self-deprecating smirk appears on his face for thinking such a thing.

Then the young man who is arguing with Wen Mo Yang also stretched his hand and a short sword appears. The two look at each other fiercely.

"I like feisty little girls… it makes me truly excited… hehe…" he said changing his expression into a lecherous one as he slowly eyed Wen Mo Yang's figure.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is really a beauty to behold. As a gold core realm cultivator, her imperfections and flaws have already been washed away and now a perfect figure and beauty would remain. Although not all cultivators would enter such transformation, many would choose this.

The young man himself has a handsome face and good bearing. If not for his lecherous expression right now, he would be a perfect prince charming to the ladies. In fact, a certain concubine is looking at him with glistening eyes.

In truth, the 2nd concubine of Guang Yang which has not borne any children yet in the Yang family has had an affair with the young man.

Ki Fah is the 2nd to the youngest son of the Fah family. He is the same age as Wen Mo Yang who is 18-years-old. Young as he is, he already has experienced with women. Although Wen Mo Yang looks beautiful and has a good figure, she is still a virgin. He likes virgins for the feeling of conquest but that's it. He could not derive pleasure from them. So he prefers mature women who know how to make a man feel good.

That is one of the reasons why he had a secret affair with the 2nd concubine of Guang Yang.

Upon being gaze at by the lecherous eyes of Ki Fah, Wen Mo Yang gritted her teeth in anger. But before she can act, she was stopped by her father.

"Wen Mo! Stop being rude to our guest." Guang Yang said in a serious tone.

Though Wen Mo Yang is stronger than her father, she dared not disobey his words. She knew that her father loves her and is just doing this for her own good, so she retracted the weapon in her hand.

But who would have known that as soon as her weapon disappears, the old man would suddenly make his move?

With a hidden sneer, he carefully aimed at Wen Mo Yang's neck. Then he tried to hide his killing intent and then suddenly flicks the sharp needle nestled in-between his index and thumb finger.

Whiff!

The poison needle flew towards Wen Mo really fast, but she immediately detected this due to her innate sense of danger. She has displayed this when s.h.i.+n Jiao approached the river. Although she was under the river bed, she immediately detected s.h.i.+n Jiao's presence and ambush him. But who would have known that she is not a match for the young man?

Lifting her hand she defended herself from the needle, so instead of hitting her neck, the needle was embedded in her arm.

"You!" she said while pointing at the three people.

However, before she can react, she suddenly felt the strength of her body weakening as she staggers backward. Two men suddenly appear in front of Wen Mo Yang protecting her from the three who suddenly jump back.

"What is the meaning of this?" shouted Guang Yang as he ran to his daughter's side.

Wen Mo Yang fell limply to Guang Yang's arms.

"We didn't do anything. She was the one who pointed her sword at us first." Ki Fah shouted with a voice of being wronged.

However, his expression didn't conform to his tone as he is showing a sinister smile on his face.

"Master Yang… Hehe… actually we are just here to bargain with you."

"What do you want?" Guang Yang said helplessly.

"An antidote for your daughter's life in exchange for that huge store of yours in the market. That would not be a bad trade, right?"

When Guang Yang heard this his face was full of disbelief and pain. He has painstakingly grown his business from scratch. The market store is the one that is more profitable than the rest of his businesses. So this might be the reason why the Fah has done this. It was a conspiracy, a blatant threat right before his very eyes and he could not do anything about it.

Although his business is important, his lovely daughter's life is more important.

Now he is a bit regretful that he has neglected cultivation in exchange for developing and growing his business. He clenches his fist and looks at the three with undisguised anger in his face.

"Husband, just give them what they want. Wen'er's life is more important, right?" suddenly Nalin Li, his 2nd concubine advised sounding a bit concerned.

Guang Yang turns his attention towards his daughter and was about to speak when he heard a nonchalant voice.

"If someone threatens your family within your own home and you could not do anything about it, then why did you grow your business then? I guess your secret guards are useless."

s.h.i.+n Jiao's sarcastic remark made everyone turn their gaze towards him as he slowly walked towards the group.

Everyone noticed him and when they saw that he didn't have spiritual undulation in his body, most of the people had a sneer on their faces.

"How dare a mere mortal interfere with the business of our family? Guards kick this b.a.s.t.a.r.d out!" shouted the Nalin Lin in annoyance.

She has been annoyed by s.h.i.+n Jiao's presence ever since he came. This is because she was scolded by Wen Mo Yang.

With her words, a couple of people suddenly appear surroundings, s.h.i.+n Jiao.

"Hmm… I still need Wen Mo Yang to be my guide so I will not touch her family, but I guess cleaning up a few messes within her household would be a fair exchange for her generosity." He said as he suddenly made a move.

No one saw it, but all of the guards were sent flying out. The old man had both of his arms broken, and the two young men with him suddenly fell kneeling to the ground.

It just took him a second to do these things and the people around him could not even react to what they saw.

Those who are in the gold core realm could perceive his action a little, but could not do anything about it.

Arrgghh!!!

Aahhh!!!

Help! Help!

Cries of anguish immediately covered the whole courtyard as the rest of the guest who was mocking s.h.i.+n Jiao a while ago was all dumbfounded and speechless.

He then slowly walked towards Wen Mo Yang who is in the arms of her father. He squatted down and carefully grabs her snow-white hands. With a thought a green gem-like stone inside his dantian suddenly appears, it was the poison essence within his body.

His finger slightly dug deeper in her arm as a small wound appears. He then uses the poison essence to absorb the poison which has spread in her blood.

It didn't take long before the complexion of Wen Mo returns to normal.

When Guang Yang saw this, he immediately felt joy within his heart.

"This young man is truly a master…" he thought as his mind immediately worked in how to pleased s.h.i.+n Jiao.

Then his eyes lit up and look at his daughter. Although it was a bit shameless, if his idea worked, then it would be profitable for his business and no one would dare offend the Yang family again.

Everyone has seen the prowess of the simple-looking young man, now it is his turn to do something to protect his own family and his daughter.

But before he can talk, s.h.i.+n Jiao stood up and nonchalantly walk back to his seat and continue to leisurely savor the food on his table. Everyone was tongue-tied at this situation, but Guang Yang didn' hesitate and immediately commanded his servants to clean the courtyard and take the injured to the infirmary.

No one dared to approach s.h.i.+n Jiao at this moment, but there are some women who threw glances at his direction and tried to show coquettish looks at him.

This is because they have realized that the silent and simple looking young man suddenly looks very handsome and attractive.

"A powerful man would surely attract trouble to himself." s.h.i.+n Jiao thought as he laughed at himself.
