The Steward Demonic Emperor

t a great plan.” Zhuo Fan analyzed.

 

Iris Overseer looked at him in shock, “Young master Song, I never knew you were so smart! Not at all like the stubborn oaf you appear to be!”

 

“Uh, just a wild guess, ha, ha, ha…” Zhuo Fan scratched his head and faked clueless once again.
[What a blunder!]

 

The Song Yu he played was an impulsive and reckless man, not one capable of deep though.
Putting together a sly mind and a strong body what would you get? Zhuo Fan!

 

Luck was with him this time, as they thought it was odd.
However, they were not suspicious of his identity.
An oaf of a brat who hit the nail on the head sometimes.

 

“Senior sister, sorry for being hard on you.” Peony Overseer took Iris Overseer’s hand as tears welled in her eyes.

 

Qin Caiqing patted her hand and chuckled.
These two women had sacrificed much for Drifting Flowers Edifice and took all the responsibility on their shoulders.

 

“Senior aunt, did you succeed in your attack on that old dog?” Xiao Dandan asked.

 

Zhuo Fan sneered at this, “Oh please, and here I thought I was one who disliked using his brains, but in fact, yours seems nonexistent.
If she succeeded, you’d be toasting right now.
Why would you all be wailing and sobbing here at this point?”

 

Xiao Dandan blushed and glared at him.

 

Zhuo Fan’s callous words broke the sisterly mood between Peony Overseer and Iris Overseer.
Their tears just went and disappeared.

 

“Rotten punk, can’t you read the mood? I should’ve known better than to expect delicacy from you.” Peony Overseer flared again as she ranted.

 

The others broke in a small smile while Zhuo Fan rolled his eyes.

 

“Peony Overseer, don’t mind him.
Song Yu speaks before he thinks!” Chu Qingcheng glared at him then acted like a big sister, trying to make amends for her little brother.

 

Peony Overseer noticed this subtle difference quickly.
With Edifice Lord protecting him, she no longer pursued it, and her face changed into worry, “Edifice Lord, with how can senior sister put it, Drifting Flowers Edifice is in imminent danger.
What do we do now?”

 

Chu Qingcheng took a deep breath, her eyes flickering, “We aren’t nearly enough to deal with Pill King Hall.
We need to find outside help!”

 

“From the other houses?” Iris Overseer shook her head, “From the start, the seven houses only cared about themselves.
Even Uncle Jiu, who is closest to us, was fearful of Vicious Pill King.
Who would stick their necks out for us?”

 

“Yes, no man can be trusted!” Peony Overseer had only hatred from being abandoned in her chambers.

 

Her eyes flickering with wisdom, Chu Qingcheng showed a smile, “Others may not be trustworthy, but he will surely help us!”

 

“Who?” Was the unanimous question.

 

Chu Qingcheng grinned, “The strongest house!”

 

Their eyes shined as hope was rekindled.
Though Zhuo Fan frowned and muttered, “The Regent Estate!”

 

Among the Seven Noble Houses, everyone was arrogant, everyone thought highly of themselves.
But there was one house that was recognized as the strongest, the one who stood above them for the past thousand years, the Regent Estate.

 

The Regent Estate’s power was three levels higher than any house among them.

 

No house alone could defeat it.

 

Who’d have thought that the Regent Estate’s men were also joining in the Hundred Pill Meeting? Though their numbers and strength were unknown.
If the rumors were true about its power, he’d had better tread lightly.

 

With such a strong crowd in Drifting Flowers City, one wrong move would spell damnation.

 

Sighing, Zhuo Fan clenched his fists.
He needed to get the Bodhi Jade Sap fast and leave even faster.
From here on out, it was only going to get worse.

 

Zhuo Fan’s eyes drifted to Chu Qingcheng’s storage ring.

 

She also noticed Zhuo Fan was worried and smiled, “Song Yu, stay in Drifting Flowers Edifice.”

 

“What?!” Zhuo Fan jerked, though his heart was leaping in joy.
This would make it more convenient for him.

 

Chu Qingcheng walked before him and patted his shoulder with tender feelings, “No need to worry, I know you fear Vicious Pill King’s revenge.
But he won’t dare kill anyone in Drifting Flowers Edifice.”

 

She then left with the overseers after telling Xiao Dandan to prepare him a room.

 

Zhuo Fan stood stunned, feeling somewhat warm and fuzzy inside.
He had always been cooking up schemes on how to get that Bodhi Jade Sap, maybe even killing someone if he had to.

 

But Chu Qingcheng’s constant care for him left him hesitant.
[Should I steal the Bodhi Jade Sap…]
