When Xue Fanxin heard about the Ouyang family, she recalled that detestable Pei Xiangxiang. Although her heart was filled with anger and hatred, she was much calmer than the last time.
Since Pei Xiangxiang being in the Ouyang family was a fact and could not be changed, she could only accept it.
Looking on the bright side, learning her whereabouts might not be a bad thing. She just had to go and settle scores with her. She did not have to spend effort and search aimlessly.
“Ah Jiu, is the Ouyang family powerful?”
“They are the number one refining family in the Mystic Realm’s Yu City. Most of the weapons and armor in the entire Mystic Realm come from them. Even the Nine Cloud Palace is in business with them,” Ye Jiushang said bluntly. When he mentioned that the Nine Cloud Palace was related to the Ouyang family, he felt a little guilty.
Back when he was working with the Ouyang family, he had not known Xin’er. Who knew that she would have such a huge grudge against those people?
Xue Fanxin could tell that Ye Jiushang was in a difficult position. “Ah Jiu, what are you thinking? Even if the Nine Cloud Palace is related to the Ouyang family, it doesn’t matter. The Ouyang family is so big. I can’t possibly hate everyone, right? Furthermore, Pei Xiangxiang is not considered a member of the Ouyang family. She only occupied Ouyang Xiangxiang’s body. If the Ouyang family finds out that the real Ouyang Xiangxiang is already dead, what do you think will happen to her?”
“It’ll be tough for you to expose her.”
“Why?”
“Since this woman’s remnant soul can transmigrate to the Mystic Realm and possess Ouyang Xiangxiang, she can perfectly fuse with her body. Either she has the help of an expert, or she has a treasure. Now, she is Ouyang Xiangxiang, not Pei Xiangxiang. If you want to expose her, it’s equivalent to exposing your identity too. Although you are Xue Fanxin, your background is a little problematic. It’s easy for someone with ulterior motives to make an issue out of it. I don’t agree with you using the method of exposing Pei Xiangxiang to deal with her.”
The Ouyang family was a behemoth. If they wanted to cut ties with them, they had to be prepared.
If push came to shove, he would just assassinate Pei Xiangxiang.
“Ah Jiu, I won’t be rash. Let Pei Xiangxiang stay in the Ouyang family for a few more days. When the time comes, we’ll deal with her.” Although Xue Fanxin really wanted to destroy Pei Xiangxiang, she knew that this matter could not be rushed. She had to take things slow.
Ye Jiushang stroked her head and smiled. “It’s just a mere Pei Xiangxiang. If you want her dead, I can send her head to you now. You don’t have to worry too much about this.”
“I want to kill her with my own hands. Otherwise, it will be difficult to resolve my hatred.”
“Alright, I’ll leave her to you. We’re done here. Do you want to go to the Flowing Cloud Sect first or the Ouyang family?”
“Well…” Xue Fanxin had never thought of such a choice before. It was difficult to make a decision on the spot. She had to think about it carefully.
It had already been so many years since her father’s matter. It wouldn’t make much difference if she investigated it later.
As for Pei Xiangxiang, she had to be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, as time passed, she would become stronger, making her a thorn in her side.
There was another important reason. Pei Xiangxiang was a huge hidden danger. If she stayed, she might become a troublesome enemy like Su Baifeng.
“Ah Jiu, let’s go to the Ouyang family first.”
