Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

As they entered the Murong Clan's meeting hall, a gloomy atmosphere washed over them, as if the air were thick with invisible pressure. Inside, the Murong Clan's elders and prominent members had already taken their seats, their expressions varying. Clan leader Murong Hai, clad in a dark robe, sat at the head of the table, his thick brows furrowed, a commanding presence beneath his breath.

"This is the distinguished guest I invited - Immortal Master Yan Yue!" The loud voice of Patriarch Murong Hai resounded throughout the hall, breaking the suffocating silence.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yan Yue, a mixture of scrutiny, suspicion, curiosity... a cacophony of emotions, as if they were trying to see through her. Yan Yue remained calm, a faint smile lingering on her lips, allowing everyone to scrutinize her. Dressed in a simple, elegant white dress, spotless and elegant, she exuded a refined elegance, like a solitary orchid in a valley, a stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere of the hall. Beside her, Nong Jin wore a flamboyant, fiery red robe, a hint of wildness between his brows. He held Yan Yue's hand, offering her silent support.

Murong Yun sat at the head of the table on the left. He was young and full of energy, his eyes filled with disdain. He looked Yan Yue up and down, snorting coldly, clearly unconvinced by this "immortal master" the clan leader had invited to mediate the family dispute. In his view, what qualifications did an outsider have to meddle in the Murong family's internal affairs?

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense. Yan Yue sensed a subtle hint of hostility. She calmly glanced around, taking in everyone's expressions. She sighed inwardly, realizing the internal conflict within the Murong family was even more complex than she had imagined.

At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard stepped forward. He was Elder Lin. He stroked his beard and said slowly, "Clan leader, I believe in Immortal Master Yan Yue's abilities. She has reached the late Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age, which is sufficient proof of her talent and strength. Moreover, she is upright and helpful. I believe she will be able to resolve our family's disputes fairly and impartially."

Elder Lin's words were like a gentle breeze, dispelling some of the stagnant atmosphere in the hall. Some who had previously been skeptical of Yan Yue began to reconsider her. Yan Yue's heart warmed, and she nodded slightly to Elder Lin in gratitude.

However, this brief respite didn't last long. Murong Yun spoke again, his tone clearly filled with doubt. "Elder Lin, aren't you overestimating her? She's just an outsider, she knows nothing about our family's situation. What right does she have to mediate our internal affairs?" He paused, a glint in his eyes. "Besides, who knows if she has ulterior motives, hoping to gain some kind of benefit from this?"

As Murong Yun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Yue, waiting for her response. Yan Yue gently stroked the soft fur of the sable on her shoulder, looking at Murong Yun calmly...

Yan Yue gently stroked the soft fur of the sable on her shoulder and looked at Murong Yun calmly. Her eyes were calm and unmoved, like a still, unfathomable well. She didn't immediately refute him, but smiled slightly. This smile, like a spring breeze blowing through ice and snow, instantly dispelled the tension in the air.

"Young Master Murong is absolutely right," Yan Yue's voice was clear and melodious, flowing like a mountain stream. "I am indeed an outsider, and I don't fully understand the internal affairs of the Murong family. However," she paused, her eyes sweeping over the crowd, "I was invited by the Murong clan leader to come here to resolve the family dispute and restore peace to the Murong family. As for what you mentioned about 'ulterior motives' and 'seeking benefits from this,'" Yan Yue's smile deepened. "I think if I truly had such intentions, I wouldn't have to go to such great lengths."

She paused and continued, "I'm here only to mediate the dispute, and have no other purpose. As for whether I'm capable of doing it, I think facts speak louder than words." Although her tone was soft, it was filled with unquestionable firmness that could not be ignored.

Murong Yun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Clan Leader Murong Hai, "Yun'er, don't be rude! Master Yan is an honored guest, how dare you question him like that?"

Murong Hai's tone was stern, his eyes carrying a warning. Murong Yun was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to openly contradict him. He could only sit down in dismay, but his eyes were still filled with hostility.

The atmosphere in the hall remained tense, with everyone's thoughts divided. Seeing this, Elder Lin stepped in once again to smooth things over. "Master Yan has come a long way, and must be exhausted from the journey. Why don't you rest for a while? We can discuss family affairs later."

Yan Yue nodded slightly to show his agreement.

At this moment, Nong Jin quietly grasped Yan Yue's hand. His warm palm conveyed strength, silently offering her support and encouragement. Yan Yue tilted her head to look at him, sensing trust and love in his resolute gaze. This subtle gesture only infuriated Murong Yun, who had been secretly observing them. He felt that these two people had no regard for the Murong family.

Just as everyone was about to disperse, Murong Yun, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stood up. He walked up to Yan Yue and said with a hint of provocation, "Master Yan, since you say you can resolve family disputes, why don't you first tell me how you plan to resolve our family's spiritual ore distribution problem?"

The distribution of spiritual ore is the focus of the dispute in the Murong family. Murong Yun's move is undoubtedly to give Yan Yue a warning and let her know that the Murong family's affairs are not so easy to resolve.

Yan Yue looked at Murong Yun, a subtle glint in her eyes. She slowly said, "The distribution of spiritual minerals is related to the prosperity of the family, so it naturally requires careful consideration..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance to the hall. A burly man strode in, followed by several family members, all with unfriendly expressions. The man walked up to Murong Yun and whispered, "Young Master Yun, outside..."

Before he could finish his words, Murong Yun interrupted him, "What's the matter? Speak out loud!"

The man hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "Master Yun, our people found..." He paused, his eyes sweeping over Yan Yue and Nong Jin, "Several suspicious individuals, seemingly..." He paused again, his voice low, "They are from a mafia supernatural organization!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in an uproar. "A mafia-style supernatural organization?" Murong Hai stood up abruptly, his expression changing drastically.

At that moment, a member of the family suddenly stood up, pointed at Yan Yue, and sternly shouted, "It's her! She must have colluded with a mafia supernatural organization and wants to..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly attacked Yan Yue with a fierce spiritual attack... The member's attack, wrapped in powerful spiritual energy, rushed directly at Yan Yue's face. Everyone was startled. This sudden attack was clearly intended to test Yan Yue's strength. However, Yan Yue seemed to have anticipated it. She did not move, but simply turned slightly to the side, easily dodging the attack. The attack missed, hitting the hall pillar with a dull thud, leaving a deep crack in the pillar. It was clear that the power of this attack should not be underestimated.

Yan Yue maintained her previous smile, as if nothing had happened. She extended her delicate hand and lightly tapped her fingertips. A faint wave of spiritual energy rippled out, dissolving the remaining attacking energy into nothingness. This seemingly understated gesture revealed her mastery of spiritual power to a supreme degree. A hush fell over the hall, everyone awestruck by Yan Yue's prowess. Even Murong Yun, who had always harbored hostility towards Yan Yue, felt a sense of alarm.

"Stop!" Clan leader Murong Hai shouted, his face livid as he glared at the disciple who had attacked him. "Don't be rude to Master Yan!"

The young man was frightened by the clan leader and dared not say anything, so he had to retreat in disappointment.

Murong Hai took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then turned to Yan Yue, his tone apologetic. "Master Yan, I'm sorry for not being strict enough in discipline. I hope you don't mind."

Yan Yue smiled slightly, "Patriarch, you are too kind. It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart." She spoke calmly, as if the attack just now was really just a trivial matter.

"Master Yan, since you have demonstrated your strength, could you please tell me how you plan to solve the problem of spiritual ore distribution in our family?" Murong Hai raised the question again, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Yan Yue looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and then slowly spoke, "My approach to mediation is simple: fairness and justice, so that everyone can get their fair share..." She paused and continued, "First, we need to re-evaluate the spiritual mine to determine its actual value and output. Second, we need to develop a reasonable distribution plan based on everyone's contributions and needs. Finally, we need to establish a supervisory mechanism to ensure the fair implementation of the distribution plan..."

Yan Yue's voice is clear and pleasant, her ideas are clear and logical, and she is convincing.

However, her words were not universally accepted. Murong Yun sneered, "Fair and just? That's easy to say! The Spiritual Mine is the foundation of our Murong Family. How can we allow an outsider like you to interfere?"

Elder Lin expressed his support, "Master Yan's idea is very good, I think it's worth a try."

The atmosphere in the hall became tense again, with undercurrents surging among various forces.

At this moment, Yan Yue sensed something strange. She keenly sensed a hidden murderous aura, locked onto her. This murderous aura didn't come from within the Murong family, but from... outside!

Yan Yue looked around calmly, trying to find the source of the murderous aura. She knew that the people from the underworld supernatural organization had arrived.

"That's my idea for mediation. Whether it's adopted or not is entirely up to the clan leader." Yan Yue said this and then stopped talking. She stood there quietly, waiting for Murong Hai's decision.

As the night deepened, the Murong Mansion was shrouded in silence. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by and quietly sneaked into the mansion... "Everything is ready, just waiting for the target to appear..." A deep voice echoed in the night, making people shudder.
