The Murong family's reputation and status in Bai City were those of the oldest, and even the city lord had to show three points of courtesy to the head of the Murong family, Murong Shuli. This was not only because Murong Shuli himself possessed strength close to that of a seventh-level peak expert, nor was it just because the head of the Murong family controlled nearly three-quarters of Bai City's economic lifelines. Rather, it was also because the Murong family had an even more important partner: the Evil Wolf Mercenary Corps.

  Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, only by grasping the gun can one obtain the highest authority. Just like the lord of this city, he is an official appointed by the imperial family of the Kalan Empire, but in this city, who is the real boss? Everyone knows that the lord is just a nominal title, and the Murong family doesn't care about this vain position either. Whoever sits in that position is irrelevant, as long as they don't threaten the interests of the Murong family, what's there to worry about?

  Additionally, there is the notorious mercenary group known as the Evil Wolf Mercenaries, infamous for their ruthlessness and brutality. They take on any task without regard for moral boundaries. Although they have a mutually exploitative relationship with the Murong family, neither owes anything to the other. Nevertheless, this has added wings to the Murong family's ambitions.

  I'll raise the flag for you, and you'll escort me; neither of us owes the other. We each take what we need. In Bó City, the position of the eldest of the Mùróng family can be said to be as stable as a rock. Within Bó City, even the city master gives way three times to this person. Who else would dare provoke them?

  If there are a few who don't know better, the Wolf Mercenary Corps will let them know what happens when you offend the Murong family. So, in Bai City, the Murong family is like a hand covering the sky, and no one dares to provoke them.

  Murong Ruan was one of the outstanding figures in this generation of the Murong family. Her elder brother, Murong Yun Tian, was the one with the most expectations placed upon him by the elders of the Murong family. Although Murong Ruan had already reached the level of a third-grade magician at the age of 12, which was no easy feat, the path of a magician was even more arduous than that of a warrior and also limited in its own way, so she ranked second to him.

  In Murong Ruan's heart, apart from her brother Murong Yun Tian, she really didn't put anyone of the same generation in her eyes. With the prestige and power of the Murong family in Bai City, who dared to provoke this young lady of the Murong family? Everyone was eager to flatter her, not daring to be slightly neglectful towards her.

  In the Murong family, everyone fawned over her like a celestial body, in Bai City, everyone showed respect and deference to her. Murong Ruan's increasingly inflated self-esteem would not allow anyone to provoke or insult her, every bit of it was unacceptable!

  However, she suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yun Feng in Chunfeng Town. The fallen Cloud family's Yun Feng made her taste the humiliation for the first time. Her third-level magic was useless against him. The third-level power that she and the Murong family were so proud of was not even worth mentioning in front of Yun Feng!

  In addition to Yun Jia's Yun Feng's overbearing words, Murong Yan, who had been maintaining a high posture, once again tasted the humiliation of being ridiculed. Returning home with a belly full of anger, Murong Yan naturally complained, but the master of the Murong family, Murong Shuli, just smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously. After all, the Yun family, who had fallen to a small town, wasn't worthy of the Murong family's attention.

  So the matter was dropped, and Murong Ran originally thought that her grandfather, Murong Shuli, would give her an opportunity to vent her anger, but unexpectedly, he let it go. What she didn't expect was that Yun Feng actually came to Bai City, and the two of them coincidentally ran into each other.

  What Murong Yan didn't expect even more was that for the third time, she actually received humiliation from the same person for the third time!

  This time, Murong Ran was going to fix Yun Feng and take revenge on the Yun family! The angry young lady of the Murong family rushed into her grandfather's room as soon as she got home, not caring who was inside or what they were discussing, nor did she care about others' attempts to stop her. With a fierce push of the door, she shouted at the dignified old man inside with red eyes: "Grandfather!"

  Murong Shuli saw Murong Ran rushing in so recklessly, his expression changed slightly, and he felt a little unhappy. There was another person in the room, with a ferocious scar on his face from his right eye to his jaw, filling his face with a few hints of evil spirit.

  When Murong Ran rushed in by pushing the door, the scarred man's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and his slightly bloodshot eyes stayed on Murong Ran, sizing him up several times.

  "Hmph, I didn't expect the master of the Murong family to have such a delicate granddaughter. It's truly a joyous occasion." The scar-faced man let out a strange laugh, although his words were directed at Murong Piaoyue, but his eyes remained fixed on Murong Ruan. When Murong Ruan saw the scar-faced man, her small face immediately turned pale, and her temper seemed to have met its match, not daring to make a sound, she hid behind Murong Piaoyue's body.

  "The deputy captain smiled and said, 'I still have some family matters to attend to today, so please give me an excuse.' Murong Xuli smiled politely at the scar-faced man, with a hint of pleading in his words. The scar-faced man's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, then he snorted and turned away."

  "Since the master of the Murong family has some family matters to attend to, I'll take my leave. Miss Murong, I'll go ahead and leave first." The scar-faced man smiled at Murong Ruan with a rather sinister grin, causing Murong Ruan to gasp in shock and involuntarily move closer to her grandfather.

  The scar-faced man smiled and said nothing more, bidding farewell as Murong Shuli walked out. Only after seeing the scar-faced man leave did Murong Ruan dare to walk out from behind Murong Shuli's back, with a look of disgust on her face.

  "Who is that ugly man? His gaze really makes me sick..."

  Murong Shuli's expression suddenly changed, and he glared at Murong Rang, shouting: "How dare you speak out of turn! Who allowed you to come in like this?!"

  Murong Ruan's aggrieved face, her own grandfather had never been so strict with her before. A hint of grievance surged up in her heart, "Grandfather, your granddaughter has been humiliated by others, and you still say this to me..."

  Murong Shuli looked at Murong Ruan's face, which was on the verge of tears, and his heart softened. The man from earlier wasn't a good person, and the mercenaries from the Wolf Army weren't known for their kindness either. If that man had any intentions towards Murong Ruan, it would be a huge trouble for the Murong family.

  Murong Shuli thought again, even if he had the heart to do so, the evil wolf mercenary group would not completely tear their faces with the Murong family after all, they were relying on the big tree of the Murong family.

  "Ah, when will you change your temper... Who dares to bully you, tell Grandfather." Murong Shuli's expression softened, and he put on a loving face. As soon as Murong Ruan saw this, she was delighted in her heart and immediately told him about what happened today with Yun Feng and Yun Sheng at the weapons store. Of course, this young lady distorted the facts to the best of her ability, adding oil to the fire, so that in the end it seemed like Yun Feng's side had taken the initiative to cause trouble, while she was innocent.

  Murong Shuli's eyebrows furrowed slightly after listening, and her sharp eyes glanced at Murong Ruan. Murong Ruan felt a bit guilty and lowered his head. Murong Shuli naturally knew that the facts might be completely opposite - who could provoke Murong Ruan with her temperament? However, knowing it was her own granddaughter who provoked others first, she still had to take her side, after all, family members should be biased towards each other.

  "It's Yun family again, I didn't expect that Yun family would have a day of change in their fortune."

  The Yun family took over the Lin family's business in Chunfeng Town, and the Murong family naturally heard about it and was surprised. The declining Yun family was able to regain its own business, which couldn't help but surprise people, especially the Murong family, who had a marriage contract with the Yun family.

  "Grandfather, the Yun family is like rotten mud that can't be lifted even if their luck changes. And yet they dare to bully me and humiliate our Murong family! Grandfather, you must avenge this for me!"

  Murong Ruan is also clever, Murong Yun Feng only targeted her alone, but she implicated the entire Murong family. Murong Shuli wouldn't know Murong Ruan's thoughts, but his own granddaughter couldn't be humiliated by others either, even if Murong Ruan was wrong first.

  "How do you plan to let Grandpa help you vent, tell me?"

  Murong Rang's eyes lit up as soon as she heard it. She had thought for a long time before coming up with this plan, "This time the two siblings from the Yun family came to Bai City to sign up for the Ma Sang School entrance exam. I want to take revenge on her, so I have to start with her loved ones. Only in this way can I give her the heaviest blow. Grandfather, am I right?"

  Murong Ran looked at Murong Shuli with some pride, and Murong Shuli smiled softly, "Little Ran is right, to take revenge on someone, you have to give them the heaviest blow, and her weakness is exactly what we need to attack. Although it's almost impossible to cheat in the entrance exam, it's not entirely impossible either. As long as we do it well, we can still make sure that Cloud family's people won't pass the exam."

  Murong Rang's heart was filled with joy and anger upon hearing this, as if she had thought of Yun Sheng passing the exam but Yun Feng failing it. A small face with a pretty appearance suddenly turned gloomy and smiled coldly: Yun Feng, your big brother passed the exam, I'd like to see how you can still be arrogant!
