"Yes, Wanxue, we have already investigated. This Chendige is indeed related to the Ao family in Cangxuan City, which the ancestor went to, and it was even established by the Ao family."

The messenger's gaze radiated a chilling cold light, an overwhelming murderous intent surging from within, with a pair of hawk-like eyes gleaming with frost.

"This Ao family is so bold, to kill my Soulfire family's ancestor, yet still dare to open a shop in Yuzhou? Do they think my Soulfire family is easy to bully?" The young girl said angrily, her delicate face filled with cold light and her whole body exuding a murderous aura.

This girl is none other than the current leader of the Ao family, the eldest daughter, Li Wanxue.

After Li Luo's fall, the Soulfire family fell apart, leaving only two or three core members. After understanding the situation, Li Wanxue decisively contracted their forces and brought many of the Li family's assets into the Yuzhou Lord's Yun family, thus preserving a large portion of the Soulfire family's foundation.

Otherwise, the Soulfire family would have surely been swallowed by other top forces in Yuzhou.

However, although Li Wanxue joined the Yun family and received their protection, the Yun family no longer mentioned the engagement between her and Yun Mengze, which was initially established. Everyone tacitly accepted that Li Wanxue stayed in the Yun family, but the engagement between the two was never brought up again.

This left the people of the Soulfire family uneasy, yet filled with resentment.

As clever as Li Wanxue was, she had already known about the Yun family's intentions. Without the ancestor Li Luo and many powerful members, the Li family was now unqualified to discuss marriage with the Yun family. However, the Yun family would never allow the properties of the Soulfire family and Li Wanxue to benefit anyone else.

Therefore, they continued to keep the Li family hanging, knowing that one day all of the Li family's assets would fall into the hands of the Yun family. As for Li Wanxue, the Yun family naturally would not give her up, but without the Li family, Li Wanxue could never become the primary wife of Yun Mengze or marry into the Yun family openly; she could only become a concubine.

And all of this was brought about by Chendige.

"Boom!"

The terrifying power of soul fire erupted from Li Wanxue's body, her eyes icy and filled with killing intent, ready to charge out.

"Wanxue, you aren't going to find that Chendige, are you? Please don't do something foolish."

A figure blocked Li Wanxue; he was the last remaining unparalleled Earth Saint of the Li family, her former uncle, who survived by staying in Yuzhou. He said anxiously, "Wanxue, Chendige could even slay our ancestor. If you barge in, it would surely be perilous; you are now our Li family's only hope. You cannot afford any more misfortunes. Even if you want revenge, it must be done through the Lord."

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't act foolishly. I'm going to find Yun Mengze and have him speak on my behalf."

As Li Wanxue's words fell, she had already disappeared.

Li Wanxue made her way into the inner part of the Lord's mansion, where the people had already grown accustomed to her presence. She had been living there for some time, moving about with ease, and the servants recognized her, all bowing and whispering among themselves.

"Is this the Soulfire family's miss who has an engagement with the Lord? She looks good; her talent is said to be quite strong, but she always has a foul expression."

"I heard that the ancestor of the Soulfire family was exterminated. She was forced to join our Lord's mansion, how can she not wear a foul face?"

"I don't care what her reasons are. Now that the Soulfire family is destroyed, and she has no family left, she still thinks she has the right to act like a young lady. If I were the Lord, I wouldn't take her seriously."

"Hehe, haven't you heard? The Lord is just waiting to subjugate the Soulfire family. Once he takes over their assets, she'll become a concubine, after all, this girl does have talent."
