My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"Qi Wei and his son took away the elites of our Leigong Mountain. Plus, we suffered dozens of injuries last night, so our available manpower is now quite limited!"

Miao Dongfang said in a heavy tone after glancing at his daughter and Qin Yu.

"Does that mean we are destined to lose?"

Miao Xian'er frowned with delicate concern.

"Xian'er, even if Leigong Mountain fights to the last soldier, dad will never admit defeat!"

Miao Dongfang knocked the ash from his pipe as he spoke.

"Gu King, wouldn't our odds of winning increase significantly if we dealt with the Corpse Driver Clan's puppets?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment before asking.

"Their puppets have combat power comparable to a Half-Step Pill Holding, and almost all of us are at Huajin. Who would take on the puppets?"

Miao Dongfang countered with a question.

"There should be a chance."

Qin Yu didn't mention Pei Luoyan because he wasn't sure if that crazy woman could really steal the puppets of the Corpse Driver Clan. Besides, she had been missing since early morning, and he had no idea what she was up to.

"Qin Yu, as far as Leigong Mountain is concerned, you are an outsider. All of our grudges have nothing to do with you. Leave with Xian'er before dark. The farther, the better, and do not come back!"

Miao Dongfang looked deeply at Qin Yu as he spoke.

He was not tall, but he exuded a strong aura, tinged with a hint of the heroic despair.

"Dad, I won't leave. I will stay with you!"

Miao Xian'er said with determination in her voice.

"Gu King, there must be a way to resolve this!"

Qin Yu couldn't possibly back down at a time like this.

If the Corpse Driver Clan took over Leigong Mountain, Qi Wei and his son would surely gain favor. With Qi Wei's shameless and despicable nature, even if he really took Miao Xian'er far away, Qi Wei would certainly find a way to catch up.

So it was better to nip the threat of Qi Wei in the bud.

"Hmm... you're not willing to leave either?"

Miao Dongfang's eyes showed a hint of admiration as he nodded, "Good, if you can solve the problem of the Corpse Driver Clan, you can be the king of Leigong Mountain when I'm old!"

"Uh..."

Qin Yu had never thought about staying in Leigong Mountain to be its king.

But now was not the time for that. Instead, he looked at Miao Dongfang and asked, "Gu King, aside from Ghost Granny, how many high-level Huajin masters do we have on Leigong Mountain?"

Perhaps the Gu poison of Miaojiang was fearsome, but the Corpse Driver Clan had been fighting them for a thousand years and had become immune to it. What remained was a contest of the number of elite fighters.

"There are three others. Originally, including Qi Zhongwei, there were four,"

Miao Dongfang replied.

"What about the Corpse Driver Clan? What's the situation over there? I don't quite understand,"

Qin Yu continued to inquire, knowing that understanding the enemy was key to victory.

"Apart from the most powerful puppet, there are three protectors. Now, with Qi Zhongwei, they have four, and they are also skilled in Huajin,"

Miao Dongfang had a good grasp of the situation on the side of the Corpse Driver Clan.

"Hmm, it seems the key point is that battle puppet!"

Qin Yu stroked his chin, pondering.

The Corpse Driver Clan had four at Huajin, and adding himself, Leigong Mountain also had four. If Pei Luoyan could succeed and steal that puppet, it would be impossible for Leigong Mountain to lose.

Conversely, if Pei Luoyan failed again, then Leigong Mountain would be doomed.

Qin Yu had clashed with that battle puppet just the previous night. Unless he was willing to fight to the death using the Seven Injuries Fist, he was no match. Yet, using the Seven Injuries Fist would leave him drained of his combat power in a short time. With Qi Wei and his son eyeing him like tigers, could he really rely on Miao Xian'er to protect him?

"You're right, but the problem is that battle puppet is the Corpse Driver Clan's ace in the hole, and we simply don't have a trump card to counter it!"

Miao Dongfang furrowed his brow as he spoke.

"Gu King, leave that puppet to me. I'll find a way,"

Qin Yu planned to contact Pei Luoyan to see if she could handle the puppet. If she couldn't, he would have to take matters into his own hands.

"Good, my Xian'er hasn't misjudged you!"

Miao Dongfang once again cast an approving glance at Qin Yu, then began refilling his pipe with tobacco: "You all go back first!"

"Alright, Dad!"

Miao Xian'er, seeing that Qin Yu was willing to stay and help her father deal with the Corpse Driver Clan's issue, also seemed very happy and pulled Qin Yu out with a bounce in her step.

Considering that Qi Wei and his son had defected, Qin Yu decided that, from then on, he would personally protect Miao Xian'er.

When they returned to her residence, he let Miao Xian'er rest inside the house, while he himself stepped out into the courtyard, took out his mobile phone, found Pei Luoyan's WeChat, and sent a message saying, "Where did you run off to?"

Whimper...

Hey, are you worried about me?

About half a minute later, Pei Luoyan replied to the message.

Worry about your sister, I'm talking serious here. Are you confident or not in dealing with the Corpse Driver Clan's puppet? Here at Leigong Mountain, someone has betrayed us. If you delay any longer, you'll miss your chance.

Qin Yu sent a message back with a face full of black lines.

If I can get close to the puppet, give me another half minute, and I should be able to take care of it. But the problem now is, I can't even get close to the puppet at all; the Corpse Driver Clan has two protectors personally guarding it.

Pei Luoyan sent back a message saying.

In that case, wait for the Corpse Driver Clan to bring the puppet again tonight, I'll create an opportunity for you, you have to take care of this puppet.

Qin Yu thought for a moment and then said.

Alright, it's settled then.

Mhm.

After putting down his mobile phone, Qin Yu thought for a moment and then, as a bodyguard, sent Yan Mingyu a message: "Ms. Yan, how have you been these past few days?"

Quite well, there were a few minor issues, but Tang Black Tortoise stepped in to help resolve them. How about you?

Yan Mingyu quickly replied to the message.

I'm also well, I should be back to the East Sea within three days at most.

After sending the message, Qin Yu suddenly realized something, Tang Black Tortoise? This guy's come to the East Sea? Back when Pei Luoyan tried to assassinate Li Xiaozu, this guy clearly wanted to poach me, is he still not giving up?

With this in mind, Qin Yu sent another message: "Tang Black Tortoise is in the East Sea?"

Yes, he's opened a branch company here.

Yan Mingyu replied.

Oh, I'll come back as soon as I can.

Qin Yu was getting a bit anxious inside, wishing he could return to the East Sea right now.@@novelbin@@

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Yan Mingyu, knowing that Qin Yu was being watched by the Martial Alliance, did not say much in the WeChat conversation.

Sigh...

Qin Yu exhaled a turbid breath, hoping he could swiftly resolve the matter with the Corpse Driver Clan, as a short-term return to the East Sea was simply not feasible otherwise.

In the blink of an eye, evening came.

Woo...

The dull sound of the horn rang out once more.

"Qin Yu, let's go, tonight I must personally teach Qi Wei, this traitor, a lesson!"

Miao Xian'er, full of fighting spirit, walked out of her room.

"Leave the fighting to me!"

Qin Yu knew that aside from her prowess with gu, Miao Xian'er's combat ability was almost zero.

"Anyway, if we catch Qi Wei, leave him to me to deal with!"

Miao Xian'er, for her part, did not insist on showing off her strength.

"Mhm!"

The two of them talked as they walked toward the top of the mountain.

Whether or not they could settle the issue with the Corpse Driver Clan would depend on tonight's shudder.
