Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"Whether I have wronged you or not, the search will reveal the truth!" Pan Shihong sneered, waved his hand, and shouted sternly, "Men, search! Dig three feet into the ground and find those rebels! Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be treated as an accomplice!"

"Yes!"

The Wolf Fang Guard soldiers responded in unison and charged into the houses and caves of the Rock Tribe like wolves and tigers, beginning a frenzied search. They ransacked the place, destroying everything in their path, making their already impoverished home even more chaotic.

The warriors of the Panshi tribe were enraged as they watched their homeland being trampled upon. They wanted nothing more than to rush forward and fight the Wolf Fang Guards to the death, but Panshi Lie held them back and whispered, "Calm down, don't be impulsive. We can't give Panshi Hong any excuse. Follow my orders!"

Lu Lingxi Yao (Xiao Qi) and Nalan Rongzhi (Nalagu) also stood in the crowd, calmly observing the situation.

They knew that Pan Shi Hong's aggressive approach was not just a simple search; his true purpose was probably to take this opportunity to completely eradicate the Pan Shi tribe!

"What should we do next?" Di Lin (A Tu) asked anxiously in a low voice.

“Now is not the time to expose ourselves.” Lu Lingxi’s eyes flickered. “We must first figure out Pan Shi Hong’s true purpose and whether there are other forces supporting him. If we act rashly, we will not only fail to save the Pan Shi tribe, but we will also get ourselves into trouble.”

Nalan Rongzhi nodded slightly in agreement, "Let's observe the situation first and act accordingly."

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, Pan Shihong seemed to have lost patience. He sat on the beast-drawn carriage, coldly watching the Wolf Fang Guard soldiers search. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Lu Lingxi Yao (Xiao Qi) standing in the crowd, and a lewd light flashed in his eyes.

He licked his lips, pointed at Lu Lingxi Yao, and said to the guards beside him, "Bring that fox-clan girl to me. I think she's quite pretty and I'd like to have a good chat with her."

The guard understood and immediately led several Wolf Fang Guard soldiers toward Lu Lingxi.

As the Wolf Fang Guard soldiers approached menacingly, Pan Shi Lie and Di Lin's expressions changed instantly. They knew that Pan Shi Hong was trying to use this opportunity to cause trouble and frame them!

"What...what do you want to do?" Pan Shi Lie roared, trying to step forward to stop them, but was blocked by several Wolf Fang Guard soldiers.

A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. She was ready to take action. Since the other party had come to her, she wouldn't hold back.

However, at this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the tense atmosphere.

"Lord City Lord, please hold your hand!"

Suddenly, White Tiger (Bear Big) stepped out from the crowd, his face full of fawning smiles. He quickly walked to Pan Shihong's beast-drawn carriage and said respectfully, "Lord City Lord, this young lady is a member of our caravan. She is ignorant of the rules and has offended you. Please forgive her."

He pulled a heavy money bag from his pocket and handed it to Pan Shihong, his voice low and respectful, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it and let this young lady go."

Pan Shihong's gaze lingered on the money bag for a moment, then swept over Lu Lingxi Yao standing in the crowd, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

He is lecherous and greedy. This fox girl is indeed pretty, but if he can get more money, he might let her go.

"Who are you?" Pan Shihong squinted and sized up the white tiger as he asked.

“I am Xiong Da, the manager of the ‘Naragu Caravan’,” Baihu replied respectfully. “Our caravan does legitimate business and would never dare to offend you, sir. Please investigate, sir.”

“The Naragu Caravan?” Pan Shihong seemed to remember something, a strange light flashing in his eyes. He carefully examined the white tiger for a few moments, then looked at Nalan Rongzhi standing not far away, his eyes flickering as if he remembered something.

Just then, a Wolf Fang Guard soldier rushed over and whispered a few words in his ear. After listening, Pan Shihong's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Nalan Rongzhi with a hint of apprehension.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, shifted his gaze from Lu Lingxi Yao, and said impatiently, "Since you are from the Naragu Caravan, then get out of my way and stop getting in my way. Today I am here to wipe out the rebels, and I have no time to deal with outsiders like you!"

Baihu (Xiong Da) secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still plastered with a fawning smile. He thanked them repeatedly and quickly pulled Lu Lingxi Yao (Xiao Qi) back into the crowd.

He felt that Pan Shihong's change in attitude was somewhat sudden and was definitely not because of money. There must be some hidden reason behind it, but he had no time to investigate at the moment. It was already a blessing that he could get away for the time being.

However, what Baihu didn't know was that the reason Panshi Hongde's attitude suddenly changed was because he had received a secret order from his superiors—to closely monitor the "Naragu Caravan's" every move, not to act rashly, and even less to have a direct conflict with it; to wait and see what happens.

This secret order came from Lietian, who issued it because he had received some information from Heiyuan.

Seeing that the beauty was temporarily unable to move, Pan Shi Hong refocused his anger and attention on the Pan Shi tribe. With a gloomy face, he watched as the Wolf Fang Guard soldiers ravaged the Pan Shi tribe's settlement, but they still couldn't find the so-called "rebels".

He knew in his heart that "someone reported him" was just an excuse. His real purpose was to take this opportunity to completely destroy Pan Shilie, a thorn in his side, and to extort some money from him.

But now it seems that Pan Shi Lie is even tougher than he imagined, managing to remain calm, restrain his clansmen, and not give him any excuse to use force.

Seeing that the search was fruitless and the sky was gradually darkening, Pan Shihong knew that there was no point in continuing the investigation, and it might even cause unease among the other tribes in the city.

He glared fiercely at Pan Shi Lie, "You got lucky this time. If I find out you dare to harbor traitors next time, I will not let you off easily!"

Afterwards, he ordered the Panshi tribe to pay a huge "search fee" before leaving with his men, cursing and swearing.

As soon as the Wolf Fang Guards withdrew, a chorus of suppressed sobs and angry curses erupted in the settlement of the Rock Tribe.

Seeing their home ransacked and in complete disarray, many young clansmen could no longer contain themselves. They surrounded Pan Shi Lie and shouted excitedly, "Clan Chief! We can't take this anymore! That scoundrel Pan Shi Hong has come to bully us right at our doorstep!"

"Yes, Chieftain, let's fight him! When have the men of our Rock Tribe ever suffered such humiliation!"

Looking at his enraged clansmen, and then at the smashed pottery jars and scattered grain on the ground, Pan Shi Lie's eyes flashed with deep helplessness. However, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Shut up! Fight? With what? With the lives of our clansmen? Pan Shi Hong is backed by Lie Tian. We are no match for him now. All of you, bear with it. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. The humiliation of today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

Although his words were stern, they also made a promise to the clansmen, temporarily calming the agitated clansmen. After the crowd gradually dispersed, Pan Shilie led Lu Lingxi and the others back to the hidden council chamber.
