Waking up the next morning, Sheng Tian had his usual routine. He knew that according to his agreement, he had to face the Shentu Family and Shentu Yan today. In the best case scenario, he would be chased to be killed after he leaves the city as Shentu Family might not brazenly kill a guest and representative of the Wei Family. In the worst case scenario, they might throw caution and face to the wind, and try to kill him on the spot once they see him.

The reason Sheng Tian is very confident about this is his knowledge from the novels and Shentu Yan. Her character very much resembles those arrogant misses who had the beauty of a moon and heart of a scorpion. And he can tell from their interactions the other day that, She is not simply a typical Arrogant Young Miss, she is a poisonous one who can in fact scheme well. She can go to any lengths to satisfy her own ego and pride.

That is the reason Sheng Tian is more wary of her than Shentu Family itself. They might try to kill him and that was it. But this woman would likely try to make his life a living hell and kill him both inside and outside. Dying from a warrior is not shameful but being tortured, humiliated by a venomous woman is not something he hopes.

In fact, Sheng Tian's analysis is on the spot. Not long after that incident happened yesterday, Shentu Yan returned to her Family's Manor in rage. The anger bubbled up in her heart exploded. She gave the command to find a person describing Sheng Tian's appearance and other details. The fact was the entire Red Leaf City and the neighboring cities were searched. Sheng Tian was with Xiao Lian yesterday but he was not discovered since he had long since anticipated this search and just disguised his face when needed. Then he calmly returned to the Wei Family manor.

Though the Shentu Family is equal to the Wei Family, they can't blatantly search the Wei Family, right? And even if they want to, the Wei Family is not a pushover who would allow the Shentu Family to do as they pleased. If they allow the Shentu Family to search the entire manor just because of a single person who their rival is trying to find and is in fact, is their enemy, where would the face of the Wei Family go? Moreover, this might just be a trick the Shentu Family came up with. Who knows the amount of truth in this matter?

The Wei Family too had a meeting regarding the situation when they heard the Shentu Family is turning the Red Leaf City and the cities nearby upside down just to search for a single person. The Wei Family as an equal to Shentu Family has its own intelligence channels. By analyzing the information of the person who was wanted by the Shentu Family, they deduced that it could be

'Ling Tian', furthermore confirming the time the order was passed adding with the fact that

'Ling Tian' went out before that, their suspicions grew stronger. This was all deduced singlehandedly by the Grand Elder of the Wei Family, Wei Fang. As they say, the older the ginger, the spicier it becomes.


He was rather happy that 'Ling Tian' was somehow the enemy of Shentu Family. There are three reasons. One, He will fight wholeheartedly in the duel and make Shentu Family lose face as well as the property. Two, Even if was not the person they were searching for, Him fighting and making Shentu Family lose face will definitely cause bad blood between 'Ling Tian' and the Shentu Family. If 'Ling Tian' had strong backing, then the Shentu Family will definitely be suppressed by his background. In the best case scenario, the Shentu Family might take things far or the backing of Sheng Tian might be arrogant enough, thus increasing the enmity, thus leading to the destruction of the Shentu Family leaving the Wei Family as the whole ruler of the area, thus allowing them to expand rapidly and procure more resources giving them a chance to even increase the grade of their family.

Three, If the backing of Sheng Tian is not strong or supposedly if he has no backing at all, then The Shentu Family will definitely suppress him and most probably kill him. If they missed they will definitely chase him to the ends of the world. His backing might even abandon him because they couldn't bear to take the loss from the fight with Shentu Family or in the case where he has no backing at all, the situation couldn't be better for the Wei Family. No matter what, Ling Tian is an outsider and he took their heirloom, he doesn't even have any backing. So, why should they give it to him? Is the Wei Family a treasure room to take things out so easily?

So, If Sheng Tian backing is weaker than the Shentu Family or him having no backing all leads to the single scenario, where he will be left alone to face the Shentu Family. Then, if the Wei Family too comes into the play, they can successfully retrieve their heirloom and possibly even plunder his treasures and cultivation techniques. Since he has such strength and mysteriousness at such age, the Cultivation Manual he practiced must be very profound, If the Wei Family could get their hands on it, then they would not need to worry about becoming a Second Grade Family anymore. Even though there seems to be only a small difference between a Second Grade Family and the Wei Family, they were absolutely unable to pass through this barrier. Then the Shentu Family can only kiss the feet of the Wei Family to survive and serve them with their body and heart.

It would be better if they capture him and interrogate him for all his secrets if he has no backing since he should have found them by luck. So, getting all his secrets will bring a huge fortune to the Wei Family. And if he does have a backing, then better to let him spill the secrets of the backing along with his, so that they can swallow it up and raise their fortune. A group that was able to produce someone like 'Ling Tian' must have their own secrets which can make the Wei Family soar the heavens in a single leap.

So, in all the cases, the one to benefit would be the Wei Family. All they had to do to was to wait for the duel to take place and reap all the benefits. As these thoughts spun in his mind, the Grand Elder of the Wei Family, Wei Fang, was incredibly happy and proud. No matter what, they just have to choose a perfect timing and grasp the opportunity. What else could they ask for in such a wonderful scenario?

The Shentu Family, on the other hand, was searching for the bastard as well. Even though Shentu Yan didn't tell anyone what happened, anyone who can apply some brains and think it through can conclude things even if it's vague. Fortunately or Unfortunately, People who have power and still properly use their brain are as rare as qilin and Phoenix in Xianxia. Well, not that it is bad, but these people rarely use their brains, if anything, the rarely used thing would be on how to scheme against the usual protagonist. Which is why there is a saying " Common Sense is the rarest of all the things in Xianxia worlds.' Even the protagonist sometimes( to be honest most of the times) use their brain only to describe beauties but not to decipher their terrible mistakes or great opportunities they are missing.

Shentu Family was not ordinary either. They have to protect their face. If someone offended their Young Miss, how could they allow that person to live? The Shentu Family took it as a matter of Prestige.

Shentu Family's Grand Elder, Shentu Rong, was a wise Old Man, though he cannot be described as a good person at all, he has a deep cultivation base, he is equal to the Grand Elder of the Wei Family, Wei Fang. He is the typical Old Bastard, cunning and scheming.

As they say, Age is but a number but as one age, one learns, one's intelligence may not grow but with the accumulation of a life time's experiences, one will definitely be wiser. The Old Foggy,

Shentu Rong is no less than Wei Fang in cunningness and scheming. That's one of the main reasons both the families are in a deadlock.

Yesterday, Shentu Yan went to take a bath. Right after she returned, she gave an order to find a person and capture him. From this, he did infer that she got to know him only when she went to bath. So, most probably, he peeked at her. So, she must have killed him by tormenting him slowly according to her personality. But she didn't do that, rather she came home to send an order. This means that she is not a match for that person even with the rare treasure sword and the techniques she practiced.

From her descriptions, he can deduce that the person in search would be young if not younger than her. This means he is definitely a genius who is stronger than Shentu Yan. So, the power behind him must be either powerful or holding some secret to nurture such a genius. If they become enemies with such an Association, then what good would that do? But, If that person doesn't have a backing and was where he was today because of some secret he found by luck, then the Shentu Family will benefit hugely from this. They might very well become a Second Grade Family. Then their current rival Wei Family could only suck up to them and their life&death will be decided by the Shentu Family.

As he thought of that his hands trembled in excitement, Since the feud is already formed, then let it end. If the Faction behind him was stronger, then he should be very arrogant, but if that was the case, Shentu Yan herself would suck up to him and never go against him, never. For that lass to target him means that he most likely has no backing. This can be concluded as Shentu Yan's inference who saw Sheng Tian's behavior. Typical Young Masters or Disciples or those belonging to big powers almost always have that arrogance and at least pride. They also have a sense of Superiority in front of Families like Shentu and Wei.

Since that lass Shentu Yan has already decided to kill him, it means he is a fat meat pie, it is wrong to not take a bite. Thus Shentu Rong concluded that he must get the Cultivation Manual, Techniques, Treasures and all secrets from this brat who managed to offend his granddaughter Shentu Yan and kill him slowly by torture to vent her anger and declare their Status in this Region so that no one would have the gall to offend them from no one. Thus no matter what, Sheng Tian has to be captured, tortured to spill his secrets out and then be killed for the Shentu Family.

As such, these two families are plotting against Sheng Tian and each other. But there is a saying

"Man proposes, God disposes." No one knows what happens in the end until the end.

Sheng Tian looked out of his room and smiled very cheerfully, his cheerful smile made one doubt whether he is the one who is truly going for the duel. In the morning, the Grand Elders of both families had a bad feeling that they couldn't describe.
