I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 569: Chapter 570: Mess Them Up!
“Elder Su’s words, you all understand, right? Big matters are at hand, and there’s no room for any sloppiness. Tell the Sect Disciples to keep a close watch on Li Xiaobai’s every move, and report back immediately at the slightest sign of trouble!”

“Furthermore, slackening in the analysis of that matter is unacceptable. If we could successfully master this secret formula, it would be a perpetual blessing for us!”

Patriarch Situ swept his gaze over the crowd and spoke indifferently.

“We’ve already considered these matters, there’s no need for Patriarch Situ to worry so.”

“Indeed, Patriarch Situ should rather attend to his own family’s younger generation. I heard that Young Master Situ’s cultivation level was crippled today. Perhaps the Patriarch should spend some time fostering the relationship between father and son.”

The various Family Heads wore extremely displeased expressions, dismissing Patriarch Situ’s directions with disdain, and with a swish of their robes, they all vanished within the great hall.

“Hmph, a bunch of nobodies who can’t stand on the stage, too proud for their own good!”

Patriarch Situ’s face flushed with anger as he spoke resentfully.

…

At the same time, in a tavern elsewhere, numerous scions from prestigious families had gathered, all led by Situ Guixiong.

“Young Master Situ, that Li Xiaobai really went overboard. Who would have thought that after the incident at Chunxiu Tower, not only did he not keep a low profile, but he became even more high-handed, actually collaborating with the three big families and trying openly to compete with our clan!”

“Exactly, the man is outrageously audacious, completely oblivious to the fact that we are watching him!”

“Moreover, it seems he has helpers, those six overseas cultivators seem to be quite familiar with him. These past two days, they’ve been spreading the existence of Huazi throughout Aolai Country, making quite an excessive fuss.”

The crowd of family disciples was enraged, harboring a deep anger towards Li Xiaobai.

This man really couldn’t be less discreet, still parading around in the limelight—is he utterly oblivious to the word ‘death’!

“Haha, the reason I called you all here today is precisely because of this matter. If we let him continue this reckless behavior, our families will all suffer losses. Therefore, I have a strategy in mind that will require your assistance.”

Situ Guixiong sipped his tea, smiled faintly, and spoke with the air of someone holding all the winning cards.

“Oh? Young Master Situ, what good strategy do you have? As long as it can suppress that guy’s arrogance, I’m the first to agree!”

“Indeed, we will follow Young Master Situ’s orders to the letter!”

The crowd said in unison.

“Tell me, when those six overseas cultivators were distributing Huazi everywhere, did they show their real faces?”

Situ Guixiong asked.

“Of course not. The matter was too ostentatious; even they didn’t dare to reveal themselves openly and wore masks to distribute them.”

A cultivator replied, they had been closely monitoring Li Xiaobai and his people lately, and were crystal clear about the events occurring throughout Aolai Country.

“Since they were wearing masks, then this will be easy to handle. Today, I want you to impersonate those six overseas cultivators. However they distributed, you shall rob!”

“Create chaos for them!”

Situ Guixiong’s eyes glinted with an eerie glow as he said with a cold smile.

“Understood!”

“This is a brilliant plan!”

“No wonder you are Young Master Situ. We’ll masquerade as Li Xiaobai’s people and cause chaos within Aolai Country, ruining his reputation and credibility. This is sure to affect the opening of his shop!”

The family disciples were elated, grasping Situ Guixiong’s intention. This way, they wouldn’t have to confront Li Xiaobai and his people directly and would face practically no risk.

Moreover, as long as they only robbed the common folk, it would take but a moment, and by the time the Punishment Hall took notice, they would have long since fled.

“Heh, a mere trifle, yet it is more than enough to deal with Li Xiaobai. Go on, carry out the matter neatly and don’t leave any loose ends.”

“Should any mistakes arise, don’t expect me to clean up after you.”

Patriarch Situ said indifferently.

“Yes, understood!”

“Let’s go!”

One by one, the chosen ones cupped their fists and bowed, rapidly rose to their feet, and dashed off toward various locations in Aolai Country.

…

Half an hour later, in a remote little village in the southeastern corner of Aolai Country.

Su Yunbing and several others were going door to door, disseminating information about the effects of Huazi and its affordable prices, finally leaving one Huazi as a sample in each household.

After trying it with some skepticism, the villagers trembled all over, their eyes full of disbelief. This small Huazi actually enhanced their comprehension, and many cultivators with low cultivation levels took this opportunity to break through directly.

In an instant, they felt immense gratitude toward Su Yunbing and her companions.

“You really are the blessing of our village, thank you, benefactors!”

“We will not forget what the benefactors have said; after today, I will immediately organize the village’s young men to go to the city center to purchase Huazi!”

“Thank you, benefactors, for showing the way, for pointing out such an opportunity!”

The village chief expressed his heartfelt thanks with a profound bow. Although they were from a modest place, they could still afford tens of thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones.

Huazi was indeed a precious item. If used properly, it could potentially produce many powerful individuals in their village, and even realms that were once out of reach seemed hopeful for breakthroughs.

“Hehe, just remember this, the quality goods store is well-stocked—there will be no scarcity. Feel free to go any time.”

Su Yunbing chuckled softly, directing her companions to turn and leave. They transformed into several streaks of light and disappeared into the sky.

Watching the figures vanish into the distance, the villagers stood up and began making arrangements to visit the central city. It was a bustling area, not an easy place to visit frequently, so they planned to prepare enough Spirit Stones to buy Huazi in one go.

What they didn’t know was that, at that very moment, in a dense forest somewhere, several pairs of eyes were tightly watching everything that was happening here.

“Heh heh, Young Master Situ instructed us to create chaos for Li Xiaobai and the others. Watch how I mess them up!”

“Follow me!”

The leading cultivator signaled his group to put on head coverings and charged straight into the village.

The village chief was slightly taken aback upon seeing the return of these individuals and asked with some confusion, “Have the benefactors forgotten something? Please command whatever you need!”

“Anything is possible?”

The leading cultivator asked with a smirk.

“Of course, you benefactors have shown immense kindness to our village; as long as it’s within our capabilities, we will satisfy your every need!”

The village chief responded respectfully.

“Hehe, guys, what are we waiting for? Let’s collect all the Spirit Stones in this village first!”

“And, I’m craving some company. Bring out a few girls to serve us, and make it quick!”

The leading cultivator waved his hand, and the others immediately scattered in all directions, kicking the cultivators who were preparing to go into the city off their feet before casually taking their Space Rings.

The village chief’s complexion changed.

“Benefactors, what is this about?”

“That’s all of our village’s possessions; if you take them away, our village’s foundation will be cut off!”

“Heh heh, in a burst of generosity, I’m giving you such great news, and you’re still not properly compensating us. Guys, take any delicate-looking girls from the village—one count as one, take them all!”

The leading cultivator laughed loudly, swung his hand, burst through the doors, and began abducting female cultivators.
