The following morning within the Fighter Class. Xiao Ning'er and her fellow students waited for Shen Xiu to arrive, but she never did. Instead, another teacher came to inform them that the class was cancelled until further notice.

Everyone was gossiping. After all, loud wailing could be heard in the Sacred Family house earlier in the morning. Rumour has it that some were bold enough to attack the Sacred Family.

The wailing could only be heard in the morning because that's when Issei dropped the soundproofing spell.

'Hmm…I wonder what happened?' Ning'er thought. Although she hated the Sacred Family, she was still a person with high curiosity. 'Whatever. They aren't my problem. I was never going to accept Shen Fei as my fiancé, to begin with. He is nothing more than a pig. In contrast, Issei is so manly and handsome. He's helped me a lot'.

Ye Ziyun saw that Ning'er was again in a daze with a blush on her face. Ye Ziyun knew that Ning'er was thinking about Issei as she saw how Ning'er looked at him the other night.

'What's so good about that guy?' Ye Ziyun said. She didn't see anything noteworthy about Issei. IN fact, Issei felt like an ordinary person without strength. So? Why was Xiao Ning'er infatuated with him? 'I think I need to ask my father to check up on that person. He might be taking advantage of Ning'er. Who knows what he's making her do?'.

Ye Ziyun was being unreasonable with her deduction. First of all, she thought Issei was nothing but an ordinary person. If that was the case, how would Issei be able to make someone like Xiao Ning'er, who is a fighter, do something she didn't like? Ye Ziyun is simply being unreasonable.

'Father might be able to do something if Issei is a danger to Ning'er," Ye Ziyun said. She then looked at Ning'er. She had a look of determination on her face. 'No matter whether you consider me a friend or not. I'll do what I can to protect you'.

Ning'er felt something, and she looked in Ye Ziyun's direction. But Ye Ziyun already looked away.

Within the City Lord's mansion, an old man and a man with purple hair resembling Ye Ziyun's were having a discussion. The topic was about the sudden commotion of the Sacred Family.

"Did you find out anything about the incident in the morning?" Ye Zong asked. The commotion earlier in the morning was enormous. Apparently, someone attacked the Sacred Family. "Every little information is useful. I know how secretive the Sacred Family are".

"There is no covering up this incident," Ye Xiu said. This was the old man in the room. The scene he saw was gruesome. "Every single member of the Sacred Family lost their cultivation. Shen Fei and Shen Yue both had their cultivation and manhood cut off. Even Shen Hong wasn't spared. His cultivation was destroyed due to his own mistake".

"Ha-ha-ha! Finally, those pests got what they deserved!" Ye Zong said. For decades, the Sacred Family has been trying to usurp the Snow Wind Family. "Hmph! And that boy Shen Yue thinks that he had a chance to be with my daughter? Not a chance. For as long as I breathe, the Sacred Family will never be part of the Snow Wind Family!".

"I know you don't like the Sacred Family, but this is still a serious problem. An entire Major Family was destroyed instantly," Ye Xiu said. This was indeed a problem. What if the person responsible for destroying the Sacred Family goes after the Snow Wind Family? "We need to further our investigation. If not for the Sacred Family, for the safety of the Snow Wind Family and the people of Glory City".

"Hmm…You right. Go, take whichever personnel you need to further investigate this issue," Ye Zong said. Ye Xiu is right. Ye Zong wouldn't want to put Ye Ziyun in harm's way. They didn't know if the target was only the Sacred family or all the Major Families. "Try to be as discrete as possible. People panicking wouldn't do us any good".

Meanwhile, the person responsible for the commotion was in his inn teaching Yang Xin how to make different types of pills, which are pretty challenging.

Yang Xin was doing her best to make the Soul Nurturing Pill, but it was difficult. She's already failed to do so thirty-five times. Once more, Yang Xin gave it another shot. The concentration needed to control the True Fire was insane. But this time, she succeeded in making the pill. Unfortunately, the pill she made was murky and disgusting to look at. There is not a single person willing to swallow such a nasty looking pill.

"That was better than the few dozen times you tried. At least, this time, you were able to form some sort of pill. Keep trying, and you'll soon succeed," Issei said. Yang Xin's ability to make pills is impressive. Compared to him, it wasn't close, but that's because he got the knowledge and experience from the Gacha. So, there was no comparison. "Come on, try it one more time,".

"Is this okay?" Yang Xin asked. The number of herbs that were being used was no joke. The price of it one try is equivalent to Ten-Thousand demon Spirit Coins. That's not a small amount. "I'll pay for the ingredients. I've wasted enough of your money".

"Nonsense, I'm your teacher, right? Something of this degree is nothing to me. Don't worry about money. Just continue practising. I'll provide all the herbs you need," Issei said. He smiled at Yang Xin. The herbs aren't really costing him anything. Issei has unlimited amounts of them on his farm. What's there to worry about? "Come on, continue practising".

Yang Xin listened to Issei and continued practising. After a few hours, on her fiftieth try, Yang Xin was finally able to create a good pill. Sure, it was not the best, but it was usable. Seeing that she could make a usable pill, Yang Xin continued practising.

Finally, after another few hours, on her hundredth try, Yang Xin was able to make a Divine Grade with High Purity. She was so happy to be able to make another one.

"Congratulations, you finally made another Divine Grade with High Purity pill. Do you want to continue and try for Peak purity?" Issei asked. Yang Xin shook her head. She was exhausted. Doing a hundred sessions of pill making is her limit. "If that's the case, then rest. Tomorrow, we'll continue our lesson in the fourth volume of the alchemy book".

Yang Xin was too exhausted that Issei told her not to go back home and rest in the room as she would fall any second now. Issei conjured a bed for Yang Xin to sleep in and placed her there.

The following morning, inside the City Lord's mansion. Ye Zong is once again speaking with Ye Xiu.

"So, what did you find?" Ye Zong asked. But looking at Ye Xiu's face, he already knew that there was no good news. "So? Nothing?".

"Nothing. The only ones physically attacked were Shen Fei and Shen Yue, but they were in no condition to speak. I merely touch their shoulder, and they wailed so loudly as if they were being killed," Ye Xiu said. Many doctors have checked Shen Fei and Shen Yue, but nothing seems wrong with them. "The doctors said that there is nothing wrong with them physically, except for their cut off manhood, but that shouldn't elicit such reactions from them".

"Hmm…whoever this person is, he is not someone simple," Ye Zong said. He was thinking how dangerous that kind of person was. The power to destroy an entire Major family is not something even a single Legend rank is capable of, especially if they were going against the Sacred Family. "Go, continue looking for clues. For example, how did Shen Hong's cultivation go wrong? How is it that we heard nothing about this incident until the next morning when people of the sacred family said it happened in the middle of the night?".

"I'll do what I can," Ye Xiu said. He then bowed to Ye Zong before walking out. "I'll take my leave now".

While Ye Xiu was heading out of the room, Ye Ziyun entered her father's office.

"Ziyun, what are you doing here?" Ye Zong said. He told his daughter that he was not to be disturbed when he was in his office. "I told you not to disturb me when I'm in my office. I have a lot of things to do".

"I know, but I need father's help," Ye Ziyun said. This was the first time that Ye Ziyun had asked Ye Zong for help. He was happy. "Lately, Xiao Ning'er was going around to an unknown male in the Red Leaf Inn. I find him suspicious. Also, I think that he might be the one that caused the incident with the Sacred family since he had an altercation with Shen Yue not too long ago".

"Are you saying that person has the strength of a Legend rank?" Ye Zong asked. If that was true, there could only be two outcomes. If he was found a threat, he must be eliminated, but if not, they need to find a way to keep him in Glory City to assist with Demon Beasts. "Is that what you're telling me?".

"N-No, I just think that he is suspicious," Ye Ziyun said. She couldn't tell her father that Issei only felt like an average person. "I'm not sure if he is strong or not. When I saw him, he felt like any ordinary person, but he was able to make Shen Yue piss himself with just a glare".

"Hmm…No matter how ordinary a person is, that's not possible. That person might be hiding his strength," Ye Zong said. There are ways to hide one's cultivation. "Tell me, where is that person right now?".

"Like I said, he is in the Red Leaf Inn," Ye Ziyun said. She didn't know that what she had just done was to get her father beaten up. "It isn't that far from Holy Orchid Institute".

"Alright, I'll go and take a look myself," Ye Zong said. He was the strongest in the city, excluding his father, who was the only Legend rank. "I'll also see if Ye Xiu is available. I'll need all the back-up I can get if the target is a Legend rank".

Ye Zong left his office to find Ye Xiu and some other people. According to his daughter, the man stayed near the Holy Orchid Institute. Lately, there have been a bunch of missing children. This incident and the man might be connected.
