Turning My Junior Sister into a Mary Sue In Xianxia Yuri World

Dong—dong—

The morning bell rang, and the sun slowly peeked out from behind the mountains.

After two days of recovery, Du Chun City had regained its usual vitality. Carriages and horses bustled on the streets, and shops reopened with the wooden boards removed from their doors. In front of the Jiang Residence’s gate, people pretending to be “Jiang Yu” still lined up.

The only difference was that temporary restrictions against demonic cultivators had been set up throughout Du Chun City, and the searches at the city gates were stricter than usual.

At this moment, Ye Anping changed into a dark brocade robe and sat down with his junior sister in a teahouse on the second floor of the city, drinking tea and listening to a storyteller.

Clap—

The storyteller, dressed as a scholar, slightly adjusted his sleeves and waved the folding fan in his hand.

“Today, I will tell you, dear audience, about the secrets of the recent Chaos in the Chi Dragon Mansion. It is said that the chaos was caused by the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Heavenly Demon Sect dispatched a Nascent Soul cultivator and 3 Core Formation cultivators, who set up a Red Refining Five Lotus Array, attempting to turn the area around Chi Dragon Mountain into a dead land.”

“Immortal Master Li, despite his vast powers, was already advanced in age. It was quite challenging for him to face five opponents alone. In the end, to protect Chi Dragon Mountain, he fought with all his might and finally turned those from the Heavenly Demon Sect into ashes.”

The gentleman raised a cup of tea from the table and said, “Let’s toast to Immortal Master Li, may he rest in peace!”

The audience also responded, “To Immortal Master Li.”

Then, the man closed his folding fan and continued, “However, today we’re not here to talk about Immortal Master Li, but about four other individuals.”

Someone was puzzled, “Four individuals?”

“Yes, perhaps you don’t know, but if it weren’t for these four people secretly assisting during the appearance demonic cultivators, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the opportunity to speak to you here today.”

The audience below became curious, and someone immediately asked, “So who are these four people?”

Clap—

“Well asked!” The storyteller applauded and took a breath, “Unfortunately, I don’t know either.”

There was a wave of applause from the audience:

“Ah~”

The storyteller quickly waved his hand and continued, “However, these four individuals also possess great powers. It is said that on that day, a soaring golden dragon appeared in Chi Dragon Mansion, summoned by these four individuals. The golden dragon exuded a divine aura, much like the Golden Dragon of the Immortal Emperor in the past. It’s possible that it could be the Immortal Emperor’s descendant. Besides, I have another speculation. Please listen carefully, everyone.”

The gentleman scanned the audience below and saw that their curiosity had been aroused by him. He smiled slightly and said, “I suspect that two of these individuals might be the young master and young lady of our Du Chun City Dragon-Slaying Society!”

?

Upon hearing this, Ye Anping, who had just picked up his tea to drink, suddenly stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, another listener asked, “How did you come up with this speculation?”

“Please be patient and listen to me slowly. Firstly, on the day when the chaos caused bt the demonic cultivators began, everyone in Du Chun City should have seen members of the Dragon-Slaying Society going door to door, advising everyone to stay indoors to avoid the strange phenomenon that is the Crimson Snow, right?”

“Secondly, I heard from the servants of the Jiang Residence that after this incident, Young Master Jiang closed himself off and hasn’t come out, seemingly having suffered severe injuries. He has been resting for two days, but there’s still no news…”

… …

Ye Anping’s face was filled with frustration for a moment. He put down the tea cup and glanced at Pei Lengxue, who was dozing off beside him, sighed faintly, and then took out several spirit stones from his sleeve, preparing to leave quietly with the attitude of “do what needs to be done and fade into obscurity.”

However, just as he stood up, he saw Zhuang Hu walking up from the first floor of the teahouse.

Zhuang Hu glanced at the audience in the teahouse, walked up to him, his eyes twitching, complained, “Heh, Sixth Brother, you’re quite leisurely and elegant, coming here to listen to a story?”

Ye Anping forced a smile. He knew where Zhuang Hu’s current mood came from.

The Dragon-Slaying Society had been extremely busy these past two days.

After the battle against the demonic cultivators, nearly a hundred members of the Dragon-Slaying Society in the Chi Dragon Mansion had died, many shops in Du Chun City were damaged, and the previously stable supply channels were cut off— There were piles of miscellaneous things waiting to be dealt with.

And he and Pei Lengxue had spent these two days either basking in the sun and eating watermelon in the courtyard, or cuddling and cultivating in the bedroom, leaving Zhuang Hu to work with injuries, barely getting any rest these past two days.

“Big Brother Zhuang, I’ll give you some bonus later.”

“Heh!”

Zhuang Hu gave him a disdainful look, sat down beside him, and said, “The situation in the Chamber of Commerce in Du Chun City is a bit unstable now. Just now, when the heads of various branches met, they were arguing fiercely about this matter. I want to hear your opinion.”

“Arguing?”

“News of Li Feng’s death has spread. The various chambers of commerce in the city are preparing to move out of Du Chun City and find new backers. Everyone has little confidence in Li Lass, thinking that the Chi Dragon Mansion won’t last more than a few months. The Branch Master of various branches of the Dragon-Slaying Society have also proposed to prepare in advance and find new backers.”

Ye Anping pursed his lips. He had anticipated these things happening.

After all, those who were in business, whether cultivators or ordinary people, valued profit above all else, and their considerations were far ahead of ordinary people. While ordinary people were still settling down because things had settled, they were already thinking about the future.

The current Chi Dragon Mansion was like a gamble to them.

——Should they bet their fortunes on Li Qianjin and believe she can sustain the Chi Dragon Mansion?

——Or should they switch to someone else and find a new way out?

Without a doubt, no one would choose to bet on Li Qianjin, a little girl who was blind and only had a cultivation at the Qi Refining stage.

With Xiao Yunluo, the Young Mistress of the Profound Star Sect, currently keeping things in check, they didn’t dare to make significant moves. But once Xiao Yunluo left, with Li Qianjin alone, they wouldn’t be able to keep the various chambers of commerce in the Chi Dragon Mansion.

Without the chambers of commerce, there would be no circulation, and the Chi Dragon Mansion would lose its source of wealth. A series of chain reactions would eventually lead to internal turmoil.

The ordinary guards who couldn’t get their monthly salary would join forces to storm the palace and loot.

In the game, Li Qianjin did encounter such things.

Although she managed to get through with the help of the guards her father left her, she also paid a considerable and painful price.

The Chi Dragon Mansion fell into decline until she reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and the situation improved.

Ye Anping sighed and looked at Zhuang Hu, asking, “Big Brother Zhuang, would you put your bet on Li Qianjin?”

Zhuang Hu remained silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly. “There’s nothing to doubt about her ability to handle affairs and internal matters. But, her cultivation is only at the Qi Refining stage, it’s unable to be used to intimidate others, not to mention she’s also blind. From a gambling perspective, her odds of winning are one to a hundred.”

“Well said.” Ye Anping shrugged slightly. “Big Brother Zhuang, can you help me find a few cultivators who are also blind?”

“Blind cultivators?” Zhuang Hu frowned slightly. “Do you have a way to cure her eyes?”

“As you just said, with odds of one to a hundred, winning would mean a hundredfold return.” Ye Anping smiled, pondered for a moment with his chin in his hand, and said, “By the way, spread the word for me.”

“Hmm?”

“Say that there is a hidden cultivator living in the Chi Dragon Valley outside the Chi Dragon Mansion, who can cure Young Mistress Li’s eye ailment.”

“…Are you trying to use this news to stabilize the chambers of commerce in the city first?”

“Yes.”

Zhuang Hu pondered for a moment and did not question whether Ye Anping had a way to cure her eyes. He got up to go and handle the matter.

However, just as he took a few steps, Ye Anping suddenly spoke again, “Oh, there’s one more thing I need your help with.”

Zhuang Hu turned back. “What?”

“Yesterday, I checked and found that besides spirit stone vouchers and some miscellaneous items, there are about 300.000 spirit stones in the Jiang Residence’s warehouse. Do you understand what I mean?”

Zhuang Hu’s eyebrows raised, and his forehead creased with five lines. He nodded. “Do you want to leave a trace?”

“Yes, I do. I was thinking that a group of bandits would attack the Jiang Residence at night, spread some sleeping gas to knock out the entire family, then set fire to the rear courtyard of the Jiang Residence. Young Master Jiang and his wife will both meet their end in their sleep. Big Brother Zhuang, you are good at these things. What do you think?”

“Hmm…” Zhuang Hu pondered for a moment, thinking it feasible, and nodded. “We need to adjust some details. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage aren’t that easy to burn to death, but it can work. I’ll go to the outskirts to find the corpses of two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage in the next few days.”

“Find one that are handsome and one beautiful.”

?

Zhuang Hu furrowed his brow and gave Ye Anping a disdainful look. “They’ll be black after burning.”

Ye Anping smiled faintly and added, “By the way, don’t harm the servants of the Jiang Residence too much, and don’t completely empty the place. Leave a little for Young Master Jiang. We are on the righteous path, it’s best to not cut all of his path, so we can meet again in the future.”

“Righteous path? Do every member of the righteous path are fraternal triplets who have different fathers and mothers?”

?

Ye Anping was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant, then immediately rolled his eyes at Zhuang Hu. “We saved Young Master Jiang and the Dragon-Slaying Society members life. Now we’re just here to collect what’s due to us, nothing more.”

Zhuang Hu remained silent for a moment, didn’t say anything, turned around, and went downstairs to handle the matter.
