Yang Peili recovered enough to walk slowly, aided by villagers like Uncle Laokuang, and reflected bitterly on his past favoritism toward his daughter during their heartfelt talk. He acknowledged the Yang family's tarnished reputation, his grandchildren's rejection, and resolved not to spoil his little daughter further. From upstairs, Yang Ruxin noticed Uncle Laokuang's unease around Feng Zilan and pondered matchmaking them while considering a concubine for Brother Yunpeng.

"He dares!" Du Juan yelled, her cheeks burning red.

Meanwhile, Chai Qin’s eyes went wide in surprise. Du Juan and Du Man interacted with Yang Ruxin in yet another distinct manner. They acted truly like family members. It was clear Yang Ruxin cherished Du Juan deeply, while Du Juan upheld fitting propriety. This must be their special dynamic.

Suddenly, Yang Ruxin erupted into hearty laughter.

Shyly, Du Juan stomped her feet in embarrassment.

"Listen up, Little Juan, that’s how you stay bold and fierce." Yang Ruxin slapped Du Juan’s shoulder playfully, "I was only teasing, scared you’d pursue me daily."

"Joking like that." Du Juan shot Yang Ruxin an eye roll.

"Fine, no more jokes from me. I’ll hunt down Yunpeng to snag you a little xiaoguan..."

"Madam, dare to corrupt my Du Juan and I quit working for you." Du Yunpeng entered from outside, catching the upstairs chatter, and declared swiftly, "Brought loads of account books this trip. Too many to review. Juan, homeward bound to make babies."

"What nonsense is that?" Du Juan’s cheeks flushed deeper.

Yang Ruxin pressed her palms together hastily, "My bad, no more of that talk. I’ll fetch a concubine for Shangguan Fei, and a xiaoguan for Du Man..."

"Xinxin, spouting nonsense once more." Feng Zilan shot Yang Ruxin a stern glance, "What if ears catch it?"

"Mom, let anyone eavesdrop if they wish." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "In our own house, it’s the coziest spot naturally. Speak freely. Holding back everything at home would just wear you out."

"What if..."

"What if words get twisted outside for gossip? Real family wouldn’t do that. Better to cut loose such folks." Yang Ruxin kept smiling, yet her voice carried a cutting edge everyone sensed.

"Like you’re so wise." Feng Zilan cast a scolding look her way.

"Xinxin’s spot on; home’s for ease, act as it suits." Dong Wenxiu tapped Feng Zilan’s shoulder, "We steer clear of those big clan intrigues."

"The pretzels are fresh from the pot." Ye Family called from outside right then, "Piping hot!"

"Come on, time to feast." Yang Ruxin’s mouth watered instantly as she dashed downstairs with a yell.

"Take it slow." Du Juan jumped in alarm, bounding down to catch Yang Ruxin at the stair base.

Chai Qin rushed after them too, struck again by the warm family bonds and grasping why all here loyally guarded Yang Ruxin. In such a setting with these folks, who wouldn’t defend it fiercely?

Deep in a woodland fringe somewhere.

A brutal clash unfolded, better said as a mob cornering a lone fighter. The trapped one bore countless injuries yet refused a simple death, battling desperately.

"Who in the world are you? No past or present grudge with me, so why hound me so mercilessly?"

"The Dragon Cloud Order issues, slay you mercilessly."

"The Tang Sect Order issues, slay Diewu mercilessly."

"The Flower and Wood Order is out..."

"The Zi Yun Order issues, every Martial Artist besiege Sun Cult and Flame Sect, slay Diewu mercilessly."

...

Each command token stunned Diewu further. When had she provoked the whole martial world? No surprise assassins struck wherever she fled lately.
