It was not wise to put all his eggs in the same basket. If Lu Yu assigned both tasks to Ying Mei’er and she was found out, the possibility of Lu Yu the mastermind being uncovered was too great.

Besides, Zhou Zhongzheng was standing thoroughly on his side. Lu Yu would have much less worries if he made use of Zhou Zhongzheng than Ying Mei’er.

While Lu Yu was in the process of purchasing the house, the capital was in an uproar at this moment, causing countless cultivators to drop their jaws.

And the very next day, a piece of news exploded. It was a scandal about the Mu family and the Wang family.

The story of Mu Qilin and Wang Tianci’s abhorrent behavior, lusting after Ying Mei’er at the Romance and Rendezvous Club, was spreading like wildfire in the capital.

The Mu family and the Wang family stood up to dispel the rumors immediately, claiming that it was all fake news. They even gave a stern reprimand, threatening to uncover the rumor mongers and tear them to pieces to preserve the reputation of the two families.

However, soon, a video clip went viral, making those people who were skeptical about this piece of news absolutely convinced that such an incident did indeed happen.

“Tsk! Tsk! Such a scene is really exciting! These young masters of the big families really live up to their reputation. They can really go wild when they play.”

“Look at this chick. That body is really hot. Those good looks can really charm people. How can anyone contain their urges!”

The cultivators in the capital were all watching that video clip which exposed Mu Qilin and Wang Tianci’s abhorrent behavior and savage actions at the Romance and Rendezvous Club.

In addition, the wanton and lascivious expressions of the two profligate sons as well as Ying Mei’er’s theatrical performance of a terrified and desperate damsel when her clothes were torn piece by piece, revealing her body in all its tender glory, roused the protective instincts of a crowd of males, filling the crowd with righteous indignation.

“This is outrageous! Even though they are profligate sons, they should not bully people to such an extent. How can they bully such a fragile woman.”

“These two scumbags! Sisters, let’s unite and denounce the Wang and Mu families. Let’s make them give us an explanation, otherwise, we won’t let this matter rest!”

The female cultivators were also sympathetic to Ying Mei’er’s suffering and were downright furious. They immediately went to the Wang and Mu families to demand an explanation.

“We are not acquainted with Wang Tianci and Mu Qilin, okay!” Some of the other profligate sons who knew the two also hurriedly distanced themselves from the two. They even professed they were deeply ashamed of them. “These two guys are simply the scum of their families!”

After the apocalypse and the world order was rebuilt, the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak became the norm. However, most of the profligate families would not engage in such behavior in public as they were still concerned about their reputation.

A cultivator who thought it was fishy spoke online, “Hey, do you guys think that someone could be deliberately framing the Mu and Wang families?”

“Bah! You think you’re so smart? Which girl out there would use her chastity to joke with people?”

“Sisters, I think this guy is hired by the Wang family and the Mu family to counter the web rumors and then conduct whitewashing for them. Let’s flush him out!”

It had been proven that in any era, women would be bursting at the seams with combat power when they had fallen into an irrational state. They should not be provoked needlessly. Before long, the identity of this cultivator was dragged out.

A week later, this cultivator could not withstand the pressure anymore and issued an apology. Only then did things come to an end. Of course, this all took place much later.

It could be said that the Mu family and the Wang family were so thoroughly panic-stricken during this period that they were about to explode. They explained again and again, but only invited a more violent public vitriol and condemnation.

The heads of the two families were so incensed that they were on the verge of exploding, their bodies trembling non-stop with rage.

The heads of the two families had devoted all their efforts to nurture their heirs. One was named after the mythical Kirin, the so-called famous son of Kirin of the Mu family. The other was a young talent about to be conferred a title of nobility and destined to shine in the political arena in the future.

However, now this incident had come to light. It was especially bad for Wang Tianci. Numerous people wrote to the federal government of Flame Country, proposing to rescind Wang Tianci’s title conferment. They also demanded that Wang Tianci and Mu Qilin personally come out to apologize in public and accept the legal sanctions as imposed by the federal government.

Wang Tianci and Mu Qilin remained cowering in their respective homes. They had been so frightened by the public condemnation outside that they dared not step out, lest they became the targets of an angry lynch mob.

They were also a bit confused. They simply could not figure out how things could turn out this way.

“How did this thing leak out?” Wang Tianci had a puzzled look. As the designated second generation heir with some capability, he was not stupid. It wasn’t long before he thought of something and a glint of sharp light flashed across his eyes. “It was that bitch. It was her who planned this whole thing all along to entrap me on purpose!”

“Get down on your knees!” The head of the Wang family roared furiously, his eyes full of hostility. With one foot, he stomped Wang Tianci to the ground.

“Father, I… I was framed.” Kneeling on the ground, Wang Tianci said with aggrieved resentment, his body trembling with fear.

“You… you are the future head of our Wang family. The family’s business empire is there for you to inherit. Why can’t you just behave more decently? And even if you really did it, why didn’t you clean up your tracks properly?” The head of the Wang family glared at his descendant with bitter disappointment and despair.

As the head of the family, he had more worldly experience than anyone else. He was not fooled by this sort of gimmick.

Amidst the sea of raging public vitriol and condemnation coming from all directions, there must be an invisible mastermind who was orchestrating all this in the dark.

The Wang and Mu families found out that the Ying family was the owner of the Romance and Rendezvous Club after some digging. The two heads of the families were downright furious.

“The Ying family have gone overboard!” At this moment, the head of the Mu family slammed his hand on the table, knocking over the teacups and spilling the tea all over the floor. Did the Ying family think that no one dared to go up against them simply because they were one of the four great families?

After pondering for a moment, the head of the Mu family instructed his trusted aide and said, “Go. Contact the Ying family immediately. I want to talk to them.”

At the same time, the Wang family also sent someone to the Ying family in secret. Seeing this, the head of the Ying family, Ying Chao, couldn’t stop laughing. This was the desired result of the plan that he had fomented for so long. Now that the Wang and the Mu families had sent their representatives over, Ying Chao had the upper hand.

The Ying family had been coveting the properties under these two big families for a long time. Now was the right time to take their assets for themselves.

Faced with the surging public condemnation, Mu Qilin and Wang Tianci simply could not lower themselves to make a public apology. Moreover, this matter was originally planned by Ying Mei’er to entrap them. They felt like tearing Ying Mei’er to pieces, but now they could only hold back.

As young masters of powerful families, they had never suffered so much humiliation. During this period, they were so infuriated that their eyes turned bloodshot.

Fortunately, another piece of news exploded at this moment that helped divert some of the fury away from the two. While they were relieved, they were nonetheless dumbfounded when they saw this piece of news, news that was so incredible that it made their whole bodies tremble.

“How is this possible?” It was not just Wang Tianci and Mu Qilin. The cultivators and all the powerful families in the capital were totally bowled over. Thereafter, everyone stared at each other in shock.

This piece of news was simply too shocking. Mu Qilin and Wang Tianci’s matter was peanuts compared to this piece of news. The incident involving those two guys was only making their rounds within the rich families’ social circles.

However, this one piece of news was momentous enough to cause a big earthquake in the capital..
