Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Sima Ye and his attire while he sipped his tea.

Sima Ye had some blood stains on his clothes and his hair was messier than usual.

It must have taken some effort for Sima Ye to put down the rogue cultivators that were attacking the other partners of the Sima Family. Lin Xuan Qi thought to himself silently.

Lin Xuan Qi proceeded to brief Sima Ye on what had happened so far in Bai Sha and the factories.

"They were so despicable to go and harm the fishmongers and fishermen in Bai Sha who were trying to make an honest living.

"So many of them were injured and they might have difficulties in going out to sea again for the rest of autumn and winter."

Lin Xuan Qi said and glanced over at Lee He Song, giving him a hint.

Lee He Song quickly gave out a long sigh and said, "Yes, the scene was so terrible when I arrived."

Lin Xuan Qi didn’t stop and he continued, "They also didn’t give the poor workers in the factories a break.

"So many of the workers were injured by the rogue cultivators and even the guards you’ve sent over to help protect the factories were also injured by them too."

Lee He Song nodded his head vigorously at Sima Ye.

"Master Sima Ye, you must let the Governor know what had happened to poor businessmen like me.

"I’m sure that he would be furious at the injuries and damages incurred onto the poor working folks in Hong Feng City."

Lin Xuan Qi tried to let Sima Ye get the Governor involved.

After dealing with the Governor so many times now, he had gotten to know about the Governor and what would most likely trigger the Governor.

Letting the Governor know that there were common folks who got injured was one of the sure ways to get the Governor angered about it.

Sima Ye closed his eyes and nodded his head while listening to Lin Xuan Qi. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He knew what Lin Xuan Qi was hinting at and he was more than happy to oblige and play along with it.

The issues between the Sima Family and the Six Pulse Sword Sect would be a cesspool of ’he said’ and ’she said’ soon.

Having the initiative to blame the other side first mattered as much as physically overpowering them.

"Don’t worry, I will make sure that justice will prevail." Sima Ye opened his eyes, glanced out into the distance and said.

"So, what does the Sima Family intend to do next other than letting the Governor know?" Lin Xuan Qi put down his teacup and asked.

He figured that the Sima Family wouldn’t take it lying down and he was right.

Sima Ye snorted and said, "Two can play the same game and we have our own ways to get back at them.

"In the meantime, stay safe and lie low until we get rid of them."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded at Sima Ye, cupped his hands at him and said, "I will and thank you so much for everything."

"It is getting dark, I must be going to report back to the family head." Sima Ye stood up and took his leave.

Lin Xuan Qi walked him to the gates and when he got back to the main hall, he had a deep frown on his face.

"What’s the matter, Master Lin?" Lee He Song saw his expression and asked.

"I’m not sure how long this will last." Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and said.

He figured that the battle between the Sima Family and the Six Pulse Sword Sect wouldn’t be over so soon.

Things might get tough if it dragged on for too long.

Lee He Song chuckled and replied, "I will help get rid of any enemies for as long as it takes.

"We can only continue with our cultivation for now."

He was getting more confident after his battle at Bai Sha with Hei Ran and he was eager to become more powerful with the cultivation of the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

Lin Xuan Qi knew that he was right.

They couldn’t do much for now.

It was best for Sima Ye and the Sima Family to handle their fights and battles, while he got himself and the clan to become stronger as much as he could.

"I know you are ready to cultivate but..." Lin Xuan Qi pointed at the blood stains that were on Lee He Song and said, "...I would suggest changing into new clothes first before you scare the others."

"Heh. Silly old me." Lee He Song patted onto the back of his head and said.

He had forgotten about the blood stains and gone back to the days when he was a martial arts fighter after what had happened.

"Let me know if you need more of the Five-Element Stones." Lin Xuan Qi said and Lee He Song shook his head.

"I still have some of the stones that are filled with the Five-Element Qi left." Lee He Song said and he raised his empty hands at Lin Xuan Qi.

"I do however, need something that could withstand the Five-Element Qi.

"The sword I had couldn’t hold it and broke into pieces."

He said and gave out a long sigh.

Lin Xuan Qi took note of it and said, "I’ll see what I can do about it."

Lee He Song was a cultivator now and the mortal weapons weren’t suitable for him anymore.

He would have to source something suitable for Lee He Song and the only person he could think of was Huo Fei Li.

The Huo Clan was a Sword Cultivation Clan, and they knew everything about swordsmanship.

Who else could he ask for, other than Huo Fei Li?

Lin Xuan Qi wrote a letter to Huo Fei Li and asked one of the guards to deliver it to Bian Jing.

Hopefully, it would be in time for the security escort service to bring the new sword over when they arrived in Hong Feng to take care of the delivery of the soap and Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence.

"Master Lin, dinner is ready."

After the letter was sent out, Xiu came into the main hall to inform him of dinner.
