The next morning.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t there any disturbance?”

Xu Tianze had been constantly monitoring Zhou Sui’s courtyard, but he had been on watch all night to no avail – there had been no activity next door, and no sign of any presence.

He could even see Zhou Sui and his wife and concubines going out for morning training, doing the laundry, cooking meals – just like any other day.

The problem was, he had deliberately hinted to the Five Tigers of Yan Mountain that the cultivator next door surely possessed a large amount of spirit stones.

Given the Five Tigers’ character, they could not have resisted the temptation and would surely have made a move to rob and kill.

But until this morning, he had seen no sign of the Five Tigers taking any action, which was completely baffling.

“Did the Five Tigers of Yan Mountain fail to understand my meaning, hence they didn’t make a move?”

“Or did they make a move but were killed off silently by that bunch of female cultivators?”

Xu Tianze frowned slightly, leaning towards the first guess, since the second seemed too absurd.

After all, the Five Tigers of Yan Mountain were cultivators in the late stage of

Qi cultivation. He himself felt somewhat apprehensive towards them.

To secretly kill them off was nothing short of a delusional dream.

He seriously doubted that those delicate female cultivators possessed such capabilities.

“Humph, I didn’t expect this kid to be so lucky as to escape this calamity.”

“Those damn Five Tigers of Yan Mountain are incompetent. They claim to be eminent robbers but don’t dare to lay a finger on a few female cultivators. What kind of robbers are they?”

“Talking about being the Five Tigers, I’d say they are the Five Mice of Yan Mountain – all as timid as a mouse.”

“Forget it, now is not the time to reveal myself. The most important thing is to complete the task set by the Sect. I will spare this kid for now. When Misty Cloud City is captured, that will be the end of him.”

A cold light flashed in Xu Tianze’s eyes.

Although he was not satisfied with the failure of this plan, he didn’t let it bother him too much.

After all, it was just a casual move. Whether it succeeded or not, it didn’t matter.

At noon.

Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan were having lunch. The table was laden with an array of dishes, emitting a tantalizing aroma. It was quite extravagant.

One meal was worth at least ten or so lower-grade spiritual stones.

“Husband, our lifestyle is simply too luxurious. I have heard that the prices of grain and meat have skyrocketed outside. I reckon this meal would be worth a hundred lower-grade spirit stones if sold outside.”

Mu Ziyi exclaimed.

She had made inquiries and realized that currently, spirit rice, meat, and vegetables were all being rationed in Misty Cloud City. The black market prices were almost ten times higher compared to the past.

If other cultivators saw that they were able to afford such a luxurious meal, they would likely be green with envy.

“This is the benefit of preparing in advance. If we had not stocked up on food early, we would not be able to afford such luxurious meals.”

Zhou Sui said smugly.

“Husband, it would be best for us to be more cautious lately. Apparently, quite a few robbers have appeared in Misty Cloud City these days.”

Ji Bingyu’s face was grave: “They often commit their crimes at night, breaking into houses to rob. There have been quite a few robberies on our street alone. Some even lost their lives.

For example, the families of cultivators Liu, Sun, and Zhao were all robbed, and everyone was killed. Their wealth was taken away.”

She pointed out that Misty Cloud City was not safe right now, and was even more dangerous than before.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui chuckled. Of course it wasn’t safe – just the previous night his house was invaded by the Five Tigers of Yan Mountain.

If he hadn’t detected them in time, they might have become the newest victims on the news.

Luckily, his cultivation had improved and he easily dealt with the group of robbers, ensuring their safety.

However, he didn’t feel the need to share too much about this, so as to avoid causing his wives and concubines unnecessary anxiety.

“What?! They have become so brazen as to carry out burglaries in broad daylight?”

Mu Ziyi was shocked: “Wait a second, such a major incident has happened. Didn’t anyone report it to the Immortal Mist Sect? Have those robbers been found by the patrols of Immortal Mist Sect?”

She could not believe that such a significant crime could occur in Misty Cloud

City under the governance of Immortal Mist Sect.

She had been living in Misty Cloud City for three years and hardly witnessed this kind of event.

“Ha! The Immortal Mist Sect really don’t have the time to deal with such matters right now. They won’t bother about our life or death.”

Ji Bingyu shook her head: “After all, simply resisting the daily attacks from the Ghost Demon Sect is quite a headache for them, let alone dealing with these cases of robbery and murder.”

In the past, there had been cultivators who sought justice from the Immortal Mist Sect patrols.

But it was useless. All they got was an acknowledgment of their report, but there was no intention of searching for the culprits.

Instead, it seemed like they were encouraging such events, which was a chilling thought.

Over time, no one bothered to report these incidents anymore and could only rely on their own luck.

“It’s not as simple as being overwhelmed. Reducing the number of loose cultivators might just be what the cultivators from the Immortal Mist Sect are after,” Zhou Sui said in a somber tone.

“What do you mean?”

Ji Bingyu and the others were somewhat perplexed.

“I mean it in a literal sense.”

Zhou Sui said solemnly: “Nobody knows how long this war will last. Maybe another three years, five years. But the supply of food in the city is dwindling.

However, there are too many loose cultivators inside the city. A large population means a large daily consumption of food. If they can take this opportunity to eliminate some loose cultivators, the pressure on food supplies might well be greatly relieved.”

He always speculated with the utmost malice about others.

Although this might not be the real goal of the Immortal Mist Sect cultivators, their actions have resulted in this outcome.

There is no doubt about this.

“In that case, I need to enhance the strength of my array restrictions to prevent outside cultivators from breaking into our courtyard and robbing us.”

Xia Jingyan became somewhat anxious at once.

She became restless and began checking around for any loopholes in the array to prevent enemies from infiltrating their home silently.

If that were to happen, they would be in grave danger.

“Cultivator Xia, you are quite responsible.”

Seeing this, Zhou Sui sighed.

It was because they had such a responsible Array Master that they could sleep peacefully each night.

If there was any issue with the array, they would not be able to sleep well at all.

They would be afraid that robbers might sneak into their bedrooms and take their lives.

“Cultivator Xia?”

Hearing this, Ji Bingyu gave Zhou Sui a half-smiling, half-serious look:

“Husband, you and Xia are so close, why do you still refer to her as Cultivator

Xia? When will you take Xia as your concubine?”

Her beautiful eyes shone with a unusual light.

“Uh!”

Zhou Sui blinked. He wasn’t a fool, and he could understand the meaning of his wife’s words. And she was pretty blunt.

Obviously, his intimate relationship with Xia Jingyan had long been discovered by this wise and clever woman.

But this was to be expected.

They had all been living under the same roof for such a long time, practically spending dawn to dusk together. How could it not be discovered?

Their actions during the day were also bold and unrestrained.

The reason Ji Bingyu had not made this issue clear was that she was simply turning a blind eye, and might even be pleased about it.

It seemed that she didn’t want to feign ignorance any longer..
