"Grandfather, that wretched Yun Jiu is truly cunning; I underestimated her before. That Spirit Gathering Pill, she must have done something to it. Otherwise, why would she be so kind as to give it to us?" Bai Moyu stood in Bai Peng's study, his face filled with anger.
Bai Peng's expression was equally unpredictable. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly replied, "Anything we consume must be approached with caution; otherwise, one misstep could lead to losing years of cultivation. Fortunately, I have not taken that Spirit Gathering Pill yet; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, Bai Moyu felt a shiver run down his spine. He recalled his previous disdain and mockery towards Yun Jiu and couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. He quickly suggested, "Grandfather, why don't we find an opportunity to have someone assess that Spirit Gathering Pill before consuming it?"
Bai Peng nodded. "That seems to be the only option. This Yun Jiu is truly despicable for tampering with the pill. What about Mo Rou? Has she taken that pill?"
"Mo Rou... she's fine now and has returned to her own courtyard to rest," Bai Moyu stammered. He didn't dare mention how Bai Morou had been kicked and spat blood by Yun Jiu, fearing that Bai Peng would blame him for it.
Bai Peng glanced at Bai Moyu, a glint of insight flashing in his eyes. "Moyu, do you think I favor Mo Rou too much?"
Bai Moyu felt a bit guilty under Bai Peng's gaze and quickly lowered his head. "No, no, it's not that. I just think Mo Rou's temperament is a bit spoiled; I'm worried she might suffer in the future."
Bai Peng chuckled at this. "It's fine for girls to be a little spoiled as long as they are beautiful and talented; they will naturally find good matches. Your aunt was just like that back then, yet she still married into the Su Family. The key is for her to remember her roots so she won't forget where she came from. Mo Rou is the most outstanding in terms of looks in our Bai Family; there are many disciples from prominent families in the Falling Cloud Sect. Keep an eye out for her and help her find a good match. Our Bai Family can benefit from it too."
Hearing Bai Peng's words, Bai Moyu suddenly felt enlightened. He understood Bai Peng's intentions and knew what he needed to do. "I understand! I will make sure to handle this matter well!"
After chatting for a while longer, Bai Moyu suddenly revealed a sinister expression. "Grandfather, that wretched Yun Jiu is simply too hateful! I plan to find an opportunity to kill her!"
Bai Peng frowned at this. "Moyu, do not act recklessly. Although Yun Jiu is despicable, she is still part of the Yun Family for now. If we act rashly, it may provoke retaliation from them. Moreover, that wretched Yun Jiu is full of tricks; we need to plan carefully."
"But Grandfather, I can't swallow this anger!" Bai Moyu gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of ways to deal with her. Right now, you and Mo Rou need to focus on your training and aim to pass the entrance test for the Falling Blossom Sect. As long as both of you reach the seventh level or above, taking care of the Yun Family will be a piece of cake! Not to mention that Yun Jiu," Bai Peng said, clearly dismissing Yun Jiu. He believed that as long as Bai Moyu and Bai Morou worked hard, they would surely surpass Yun Jiu.
However, what they didn't know was that Yun Jiu, who was currently reveling in Yun Baichen's study, had already learned of their scheme through their conversation.
"Damn it! Which bastard is talking behind my back?!" Yun Jiu sneezed violently, rubbing her nose as a glint of cold light flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yun Baichen frowned slightly. "Chujiao, young ladies should be more graceful!"
Yun Jiu chuckled mischievously. "Grandfather, how can a graceful girl get so many silver notes?! What do you need? I'll buy it for you tomorrow." As she spoke, she waved a large stack of silver notes in her hand.
Yun Baichen's expression brightened at the sight. He smiled and said, "I don't lack anything, but you—before you only wore black and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. Have you finally come to your senses? Hurry up and buy some good fabric tomorrow to make some brightly colored clothes."
"Sure thing! You can count on me, Grandfather. I'll buy fabric not just for myself but also for you, Uncle, Auntie, and everyone else! Who says I can't spend my money now?" Yun Jiu grinned widely, showing off her small white teeth with pride. She knew that all these silver notes were extorted from the Bai Family, and she intended to make good use of them. Moreover, she wanted the people of the Yun Family to realize that she was no longer the useless person they could bully!
