Chapter 16 Lü Mei Makes a Move
Lu Mei and Ning Wenyue, who were originally waiting to see a good show, were furious when they saw this scene that looked like a family reunion.

Especially Lü Mei, who was hoping that Yang Huihui, who came from the countryside, would be ignorant of the rules and offend Lin Zhao severely.

It would be best if Lin Zhao fought with her, making Ning Wengui a complete enemy of the Fire Cloud Alliance, so that she could take advantage of the situation and get the Fire Cloud Alliance to join her side.

Ning Wenyue didn't think that much. His logic was simple: Lin Zhao looked like Ning Wengui's man. Now that Yang Huihui and Lin Zhao had such a connection, wouldn't the Fire Cloud Alliance, which had always been neutral, no longer be neutral?

Unlike the leader of the Mad Sword Sect, Yang Huihui's doting father was not one to hesitate or be overly cautious. Ever since the Fire Cloud Alliance leader found his daughter, he had no intention of letting her suffer any hardship, which was the source of Yang Huihui's confidence in not offending the prince.

The Emperor has many sons, while the leader of the Fire Cloud Alliance only has one daughter. If they really competed, Yang Huihui's status would be even more noble than that of the Imperial Princess.

After processing, the Taiyi Pure Lotus was handed to Yang Huihui. She looked it over with great interest and asked curiously, "Fairy Wangshu, what's wrong with this Taiyi Pure Lotus?"

She wouldn't believe it if someone else said it, but she believed it when Lin Zhao said it.

Lin Zhao found her address somewhat amusing: "I am no longer the senior sister of Cloud Peak, and naturally I am no longer Fairy Wangshu. Just call me Lin Zhao."

The name Wangshu Fairy was given to her by Shen Yuhan after she became a disciple of the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable.

Zhao means bright moon, hence the name Wangshu.

Lin Zhao didn't care much about his nickname, and since Shen Yuhan liked it, he let him be.

"This Taiyi Pure Lotus has been poisoned by a dragon." Lin Zhao held up a crystal ball in his hand, inside which was a trace of blue liquid.

The liquid was clearly sealed inside the crystal ball, but just looking at it gave one a sinister feeling.

Yang Huihui's eyes widened; the dragon venom was no ordinary substance.

Jiao are descendants of the dragon race, and the existing Jiao are at least fifth-tier spirit beasts.

She possesses both fire and earth spiritual roots, so if this chilling dragon poison were to enter her body through the Taiyi Pure Lotus... it would require at least a fifth-grade alchemist to expel it.

While waiting for a fifth-grade alchemist, her Foundation Establishment cultivation level would likely suffer greatly from the dragon poison, even if she survived.

"Who dares to scheme against me?" Yang Huihui was furious. Relying on her woman's sixth sense, she glared angrily at Lü Mei and the other woman without any sense of reason.

"Was it you?"

Before Lü Mei could say anything, Ning Wenyue spoke up with displeasure: "Yang Huihui, watch who you're talking to! I am the Emperor's second son! I didn't even hold it against you for not bowing to me, and now you're questioning me?"

Yang Huihui was too lazy to argue with them about such trivial matters. She snorted coldly, "If I find out that you were the ones who did it, I will make sure you suffer, even if I take it all to the Emperor!"

Ning Wenyue wanted to say something more, but Lü Mei pinched him and looked at him with disappointment.

"Miss Yang is joking. The Second Prince and I only learned today that Youlan Auction House possesses such a sacred object as the Taiyi Pure Lotus. How could we have had time to tamper with it?"

Yang Huihui didn't believe a word she said. After putting away the Taiyi Qinglian, she beckoned to Lin Zhao: "Sister Zhao Zhao, I'll go back and take care of some things before I come back to you. If those two dare to say anything disgusting to you, just tell Huihui. You don't want to get your hands dirty, so Huihui will beat them to death!"

After she finished speaking, she touched the fiery red whip at her waist.

These impolite words made Lü Mei and Ning Wenyue's faces turn ashen, but they couldn't retaliate. This little devil was a major tyrant in the capital. If the young master of the Mad Sword Sect was troublesome only because of his personality and his cunning father, Yang Huihui was embarrassing because she grew up in the countryside and acted on her own whims.

Unfortunately, the Fire Cloud Alliance not only dotes on this young lady with dual spiritual roots who has only been in the Foundation Establishment stage for six years, but also on everyone from top to bottom.

With that kind of background, you can't argue with it!

Lu Mei watched Yang Huihui's retreating figure with a sinister look. After Lin Zhao pushed Ning Wengui into the first private room, she gave the guard at the door of the first private room a wink. The guard nodded in a subtle way that no one else could notice.

Lu Mei raised her lips, her eyes filled with malice.

Lin Zhao, let's see how you'll hold your head up this time!

After the last item was sold, Lin Zhao and Ning Wengui took stock of what they had gained that day. Remembering what their grandmother had said, they were amazed at what a great harvest it had been, and then they prepared to leave together.

Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the private room: "Your Highness, there's been an incident at the entrance, and we need your help!"

Ning Wengui recognized the voice of Butler Wang and looked at Lin Zhao apologetically. Lin Zhao waved his hand casually: "Go take care of your business. We'll go together in a bit."

Ning Wengui nodded, "I'll be right back."

Not long after Ning Wengui left, staff members came into the private room to tidy up. When one of the guards was clearing away the plates, Grandma suddenly spoke up: "Girl, be careful, there is a Grade 3 Charming Incense. However, your Phoenix Vein Technique has already entered the first level, so the Grade 3 poison is no problem for you. The spiritual energy of the Phoenix Vein Technique is enough to neutralize it."

Lin Zhao's gaze turned cold as he looked at the guard.

A third-grade alluring fragrance is enough to deal with ordinary cultivators in the Enlightenment stage. The person who poisoned her really thinks highly of her!

After quickly reviewing the people he had offended here in his mind, Lin Zhao set his sights on Lü Mei and Ning Wenyue.

She had only disliked Lü Mei and Ning Wenyue before, but she never expected that the two of them would have such disgusting thoughts!
The door opened again, and Lin Zhao quietly used the Phoenix Meridian Technique to dispel the alluring fragrance.

However, it wasn't Ning Wenyue who entered through the door, but a young girl carrying a tall man.

Lin Zhao frowned. Could she have been mistaken? Was it not Ning Wenyue and the others who made the move?

"Sister Zhao Zhao, I came to find you. This guy was lurking around your door, I don't know what he was up to, so I knocked him out." Yang Huihui's voice came from the doorway.

Immediately, a figure was thrown to the ground like a dead pig.

Who else could it be but Ning Wenyue with that huge bump on his head?
Lin Zhao's eyelids twitched as he watched, and he couldn't help but give the little girl a thumbs up.

"Sister, are you alright?" Yang Huihui rushed to her side and asked worriedly.

Lin Zhao felt a warmth in her heart: "Don't worry, I'm fine, but I might need to trouble you with something. Please stay here and watch over Ning Wenyue for me for a while."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Yang Huihui stomped on Ning Wenyue's fairly handsome face, grinding it hard with her heel as if she wasn't satisfied. "I guarantee he won't get out!"

Lin Zhao silently lit a row of candles for Ning Wenyue, wondering what Ning Wenyue had done to offend this little darling and be treated like this.
