An Zhiyan entered the mountain, and in just two round trips, no more than two hours had passed before he returned to the hall. The Family Head, Li Xihong, and the Princely Heir were no longer there, only Li Chengliao sat by the desk.
The setting sun spilled into the hall, casting his silhouette long across the floor. Li Chengliao stared absently at the teacup on the desk, and An Zhiyan knelt to report:
"I report to the Young Master, the matter has been dealt with. The Yu Family is in utter chaos, teetering on the brink of division. We need only wait a few days for the struggle for power to break out, and a new situation should emerge."
Li Chengliao nodded slightly, replying:
"You have worked hard, Peak Master."
An Zhiyan held the position of "Peak Master" within the clan. Hearing this, he nodded and withdrew. Li Chengliao then summoned Dou Yi and said:
"Secret Forest County will sooner or later belong to our family; we cannot allow them to degrade it at their whim."
