"You idiot!"

Zui Yifeng almost spat out old blood from the stupidity of Sixth Ding.

How did he think that Ding Zhuzui would present the herbs to him? Ding Zhuzui is the head of the Ding Family, while Sixth Ding is merely from a side branch now.

Getting the head of the family to offer his treasures willingly to a side branch?

Does Ding Zhuzui not care about face?

"Get out, get out right now!"

He roared at Sixth Ding, his bloodshot eyes almost wishing to bore holes into Sixth Ding.

Sixth Ding was also frightened by his angry demeanor, so much so that he didn’t even think to bid farewell; he rushed out of the study and only exhaled a breath of relief once he reached the courtyard.

"Where did the master get so upset to take it all out on me?"

Failing to get the herbs, wasn’t that expected? They’re precious items. If it were him, he’d be darned to give them to someone else easily.

Even if he were to give them, it’d be at the best price.

Just like now, if not for the master promising him so many benefits, why would he go to such lengths to obtain those herbs?

"Why am I so unlucky? Thankfully I was quick, or else the master really might have twisted my head off."

As he spoke, he dramatically reached out to touch his neck, feeling the danger he faced was quite thrilling.

"Forget it. Since even the master can’t get those herbs, it’s up to me. I refuse to believe Ding Zhuzui and that old hag of a mother of his can keep holding onto those herbs!"

If they have the guts, they should consume them all now. Otherwise, I’m determined to get them.

Not for any other reason but the rewards Zui Yifeng promised. He wouldn’t give up easily; he’d definitely get those herbs.

The previous subordinates weren’t effective, so he’d send more capable ones. Even if the Ding Family is a dragon’s lair, he intends to storm it.

...

The next day, Yin Baiqing left with Zui Yifeng’s portrait, accompanied by Lin Changhong. The two set out, and their safety was assured.

Thanks to the flying mounts, it wouldn’t take long to reach Ziyan Kingdom.

However, while they were heading for Ziyan Kingdom, the Lin Family was bustling. Zui Yifeng, unable to obtain Lin Caisang or the Burial Charm Seal, sent people to disrupt several times.

Even though each attempt ended in failure, this was the effect he sought.

By sending people frequently and having them turned away each time, Lin Baizhong and Sui Zimo would become numb, and they’d gradually let their guard down when dealing with his people.

He only needed to wait for them to let their guard down, then strike to capture Lin Caisang.

Once Lin Caisang was captured, Sui Zimo’s son would also be in his hands, and then they would surely hand over the fragments of the Burial Charm Seal.

However, sometimes he was furious, for example:

Over on Sixth Ding’s side, in the absence of his orders, Sixth Ding secretly sent people to the Ding Family again to steal those herbs.

This time, the commotion was considerable, almost resembling a blatant robbery rather than stealth.

It drove Zui Yifeng to rage, almost summoning Sixth Ding to strike him down in fury.
