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

The night breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness and scattering the fragrance of the flowers in the garden. Yan Yue and Nong Jin stood side by side, their figures elongated and interwoven in the moonlight, like a scroll painting. However, beneath this tranquil scene, a surging undercurrent lay hidden.

"This feeling... is very uncomfortable." Yan Yue frowned slightly. She was keenly aware of the abnormality around her, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching their every move.

Nong Jin also nodded. He held Yan Yue's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems that there are forces within the Murong family that we haven't discovered yet."

The two looked around warily, trying to find the source of the secret observation. However, there was nothing else in the garden except the swaying shadows of trees and flowers swaying in the wind.

"Is it our illusion?" Yan Yue whispered to himself, but the uneasiness in his heart could not be shaken off.

Nong Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, they used some kind of concealment formation."

Yan Yue's eyes flashed, and an idea suddenly struck her. Without a sound, she quietly released a trace of spiritual energy. Like a trickle of water, it slowly flowed through the surrounding air, exploring every corner. This was the greatest secret of her rebirth. She could cultivate in secret, wielding her spiritual energy as naturally as breathing, leaving no trace.

Sure enough, under the exploration of spiritual power, a hidden surveillance formation gradually emerged. This formation was extremely sophisticated. If Yan Yue had not possessed the memories of his past life and was not quite familiar with formations, it would probably be difficult to detect.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Yan Yue's lips. She casually made a few hand gestures, and a stream of pure spiritual power instantly surged out, accurately hitting the core of the formation.

"Crack!" With a slight sound, the surveillance formation was broken.

Nong Jin took it all in, his eyes full of admiration. He had long known that Yan Yue's strength was unfathomable, but he had never expected her to break this exquisite formation so easily.

"It seems that someone doesn't want us to know what they are doing." Yan Yue withdrew his spiritual power, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Nong Jin gently held her in his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance shattered the brief silence. A figure approached from afar, swiftly running towards them… It was Murong Hai, his expression panicked, his tone hurried, "Oh no! Murong Yun… He's escaped!"

Yan Yue and Nong Jin looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

Murong Hai's arrival shattered the tranquility of the garden. Murong Yun's escape was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and pushing the already turbulent Murong family into even greater chaos.

"How did he escape?" Nong Jin frowned, his tone cold.

Murong Hai was sweating profusely, his face full of guilt. "It was my negligence. He took advantage of the guard change and broke the restriction..."

Yan Yue's heart sank. Murong Yun's escape was no accident. Someone must have been secretly helping him. And this person was most likely someone hiding within the Murong family, monitoring them.

As expected, after Murong Yun escaped, he did not leave the family. Instead, he joined forces with those clansmen who still had doubts about Yan Yue and began to spread rumors in the family, saying that Yan Yue and Nong Jin had ulterior motives and intended to control the Murong family and even seize the family's spiritual mine.

Rumors spread like wildfire, and some tribesmen who had previously softened their stance toward Yan Yue became hostile again. They gathered together, pointing and whispering at Yan Yue and Nong Jin, their eyes filled with suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Feeling the growing hostility around her, Yan Yue couldn't help but feel a little irritated. But she knew she couldn't lose her composure at this moment. She gently took Nong Jin's hand and gave him a soothing look.

Nong Jin hugged Yan Yue's waist tightly, his breath spraying on Yan Yue's neck, with a faint fragrance. "Yuer, no matter what others do, I will be with you."

Yan Yue's heartbeat quickened. She could feel the warmth coming from Nong Jin's strong body, and her heart was filled with emotion and love. She looked up at Nong Jin, her eyes full of tenderness. She reached out and stroked Nong Jin's face, and Nong Jin lowered his head and kissed Yan Yue.

The kiss was passionate and deep, as if pouring all the love and anxiety into it. They were so lost in each other's love that everything around them seemed to disappear.

After the kiss, Yan Yue raised her head from Nong Jin's embrace, her eyes more resolute. She knew that the tenderness and sweetness at the moment was only a temporary comfort, and the real challenge had just begun.

"Let's go," Yan Yue said in a calm but powerful voice, "and see what they are trying to do."

The two walked hand in hand towards the gathered crowd. As they approached, the discussion in the crowd gradually intensified, and some radical members even began to shout loudly, demanding an explanation from Yan Yue and Nong Jin.

Nong Jin stood in front of Yan Yue, his spiritual power radiating out, forming a powerful aura that suppressed the clamoring voices. A tense atmosphere filled the air, like the calm before the storm.

A burly clan member stood up with an angry face, pointed at Yan Yue's nose and cursed, "You witch, don't even think about trying to seduce our young master and seize our family's spiritual mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Yan Yue, waving his fist... Nong Jin's eyes turned cold.

Nong Jin's eyes turned cold, and a golden light flashed around him. A powerful spiritual pressure surged out like a tide, forcing the impulsive tribesman to stumble back, his face instantly turning pale. Before he could steady himself, several more tribesmen, incited by the rumors, rushed forward, shouting and waving various magical instruments, their spiritual power flashing and carrying a fierce murderous aura.

Nong Jin stood unmoved before Yan Yue, like an impenetrable barrier. He casually raised a hand, and golden spiritual energy gathered in his palm, forming a swirling ball of light that exuded a suffocating pressure. The ball of light suddenly expanded, transforming into a golden curtain of light that blocked all attacks.

"You're overestimating yourself." Nong Jin snorted coldly, flicking his sleeves lightly. An invisible gust of wind swept out, sending the attackers flying backward like kites with their strings cut. They fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

The onlookers gasped at the sight. While they harbored doubts about Yan Yue and Nong Jin, they also understood that the Immortal Emperor's power was far beyond their reach. For a moment, the shouting subsided, replaced by a dead silence.

At this moment, Clan Leader Murong Hai appeared. His expression was solemn as he strode towards the crowd. His commanding voice resounded throughout the room: "Stop!"

Everyone fell silent, their gazes fixed on Murong Hai. Murong Hai glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "Our family is facing internal and external troubles, yet you are here killing each other. How disgraceful!"

He turned to Yan Yue and Nong Jin, speaking in a slightly slower tone, "Miss Yan, Mr. Nong, I know you're doing this for the good of the family, but given the current situation, you must come up with a plan to completely resolve the dispute, otherwise the Murong family will struggle to find peace."

Yan Yue and Nong Jin exchanged a glance. They understood that Murong Hai's words were true. Murong Yun's escape and the widespread rumors all indicated that the problems within the Murong family had reached a critical point and could not be delayed. And the enemies lurking in the shadows would surely wait for an opportunity to strike, further escalating the situation.

"Don't worry, clan leader," Yan Yue stepped forward, his tone calm, "Young Master Nong and I will do our best to find a solution."

The night was deep, and the lights in the Murong family's meeting hall were brightly lit. Yan Yue and Nong Jin sat side by side in the center of the hall, facing them, clan leader Murong Hai and several family elders. The air was filled with tension, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity.

After some discussion, Yan Yue and Nong Jin have developed a preliminary plan. They intend to make all the evidence and the truth public at once, exposing Murong Yun's conspiracy and the involvement of external forces, in order to quell the internal disputes of the family and unite all forces to fight against the foreign enemies.

However, Yan Yue still felt a little uneasy. She worried that even if she made the truth public, some family members would still be unconvinced and even continue to be misled by the rumors. After all, the prejudices in some people's hearts cannot be eliminated overnight.

"There's no time to lose," Yan Yue took a deep breath and stood up. "I'll get ready right away."

She turned and walked towards the hall door. Nong Jin followed her closely, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. He knew that Yan Yue's move had undoubtedly put him at the center of public attention.

Yan Yue stood in the center of the Murong family's meeting hall, clutching a crystal-clear photo stone. She was ready to reveal all the evidence and the truth all at once... Her hands trembled slightly.
