Qi Oliver took the lead and walked out of the bedroom.
Meng Sophia, her hatred seething, tried to channel her Yuan Power.
To her disappointment, she was still like an ordinary person with no cultivation, completely unable to mobilize even a trace of Yuan Power!
"How could he have such means? I never knew a thing!"
"It seems he's been on guard against us all these years!"
"This damned scoundrel! He's been pretending so well!"
"But do you think the Meng family is the only one who wants you dead? Qi Oliver, you're already a dead man walking! No matter how much you struggle, you won't last more than a few days!"
Meng Sophia cursed inwardly, then broke into a cold laugh again and again.
The two walked out of the courtyard, one after the other.
"Your servant greets... Master Son-in-law, Young Lady!"
When Clara saw Qi Oliver, she was completely stunned.
She had clearly seen the Master Son-in-law die from poison; how could he be alive again?
Meng Sophia's eyes turned cold. She endured the trembling in her legs, took two quick steps forward, and slapped Clara hard across the face.
"You lowly maid! You deserve to die!"
As Meng Sophia shouted in anger, she intended to take out a long sword from her Storage Ring and stab Clara to death. But she realized that her Storage Ring had been stripped off by Qi Oliver at some point...
Her eyes filled with malice, she stepped forward to strangle Clara's neck.
It was from Clara that she had learned of Qi Oliver's "death," so she had gone to confirm it.
Never had she expected that Qi Oliver was faking his death, and she herself had been countered and fallen into his hands!
Bang!
Before Meng Sophia's hands could reach Clara's neck, she was kicked hard on her buttocks.
"Qi Oliver, you scoundrel!" Meng Sophia turned around and roared.
Beyond the pain, there was more anger!
When had she, Meng Sophia, ever suffered such humiliation!
"I told you to behave yourself," Qi Oliver said coldly.
Clara was both terrified and confused!
She guessed why the Young Lady wanted to kill her, but she never expected that the Master Son-in-law would kick Meng Sophia to save her!
Bang!
Clara dropped to her knees abruptly, her voice choking: "Thank you, Master Son-in-law, for saving my life!"
"Leave the Meng family at once," Qi Oliver said calmly.
Though Clara was just a maid, she had a gentle and obedient nature, always being dutiful.
This time, he had used Clara without her knowledge to lure Meng Sophia into the room.
Clara's eyes turned red. She was just a maid; even if she could leave the Meng family, where else could she flee?
"Clara has nowhere to go. Clara is willing to follow Master Son-in-law from now on and serve you!" Clara said, still on her knees.
Qi Oliver said indifferently: "To me, you're a burden. Run for your life on your own – I'll only save you this once."
After speaking, Qi Oliver strode toward the direction of the Spirit Treasury.
"Keep up! If you cause any more trouble, you know what will happen!" Qi Oliver's cold voice reached Meng Sophia's ears.
Meng Sophia's face flushed with anger, but when she saw Qi Oliver walking faster and faster, she quickly got up and followed.
Although they encountered several groups of guards along the way, Meng Sophia did not dare to ask for help.
All the Meng family's experts had gone to the Spirit Abyss Secret Realm with Meng Christopher. With the current manpower left in the mansion, no one was a match for Qi Oliver, the newly promoted Master Realm cultivator!
Meng Sophia also saw her situation clearly.
Acting recklessly would only bring her greater humiliation!
As long as her father and brother returned, it would be Qi Oliver's day of death!
Clara watched Qi Oliver and Meng Sophia leave, stood up dejectedly, wiped away her tears, and then hurried to run out of the Meng Mansion...
Since Qi Oliver was unwilling to continue sheltering her, she had to escape from the Meng family as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, once Meng Sophia was free from Qi Oliver's control, killing her – a mere maid – would be extremely easy.
In front of the Meng family's Spirit Treasury.
On a stone door, colorful Yuan Power Runes flickered.
Qi Oliver cast a cold glance at Meng Sophia.
Meng Sophia reluctantly raised her palm and pressed it against the stone door.
Hum!
When the restriction on the stone door sensed the Meng family's bloodline power, all the Yuan Power Runes faded away, and the stone door opened on its own.
Before Meng Sophia could react, Qi Oliver kicked her into the Spirit Treasury.
"Qi Oliver! If you dare kick me again, I'll fight you to the death!"
Meng Sophia, who had crashed into the stone slab of the Spirit Treasury and knocked her head until it bled, let out a hysterical roar.
"Fight to the death? What do you have to fight me with right now?"
Qi Oliver sneered disdainfully, then pressed his foot down and ground it a few times on Meng Sophia's buttocks, making her face turn black with anger!
After that, he glanced at all the resources and collections in the Spirit Treasury. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, he stored them all into his Storage Ring!
Since the Meng family had betrayed him, he would show no mercy at all!
He would take all their things!
And for the people who had wronged him, he would avenge every grudge and settle every debt!
Watching as everything in the Spirit Treasury was emptied by Qi Oliver, Meng Sophia's face darkened, but she dared not speak out despite her anger.
The collections here were almost half of the Meng family's foundation!
"It's fine! Once Father and the others return, we'll take everything back from Qi Oliver! But I must escape before they come back! Otherwise, with Qi Oliver's shameless nature, he will definitely take me as a hostage!"
Meng Sophia's eyes flickered as she secretly plotted an escape plan.
Qi Oliver glanced at Meng Sophia and said: "Go tell those guards to transport all the Spirit Stones mined recently back to the Meng family."
Meng Sophia gritted her teeth: "Qi Oliver, don't go too far! You've already emptied the Spirit Treasury, and now you even want to lay your hands on those Spirit Stones!"
Qi Oliver narrowed his eyes and raised his palm as if to strike.
Meng Sophia's expression changed drastically, and she quickly said: "I'll go tell them right away!"
Qi Oliver slowly lowered his palm and said indifferently: "I was truly blind before; I never realized you were so despicable."
"Also, I advise you not to play any tricks. My Spirit-Sealing Finger can't even be broken by a Grand Master. If you forcefully try to unblock your meridians, you'll end up with all your meridians shattered."
Meng Sophia's face turned deathly pale!
Even a Grand Master couldn't break it?
Did that mean only Qi Oliver could restore her Yuan Power cultivation?
Meng Sophia gritted her teeth: "Then you have to give me a promise – how many things do I have to help you with before you restore my Yuan Power!"
Qi Oliver said calmly: "I'll restore it for you when your father comes back."
Meng Sophia raised her eyebrows: "You really dare to wait for my father to return?"
"Before I leave Yuan Spirit City, I must settle all grudges first. Go do your task! As long as you behave yourself these days, I won't target you anymore." Qi Oliver said indifferently.
Meng Sophia's eyes flickered: "Fine! As long as you stop humiliating me, I'll obey your orders these days! I also hope you'll keep your promise and restore my Yuan Power when my father returns!"
The two left the Spirit Treasury together. According to Qi Oliver's instructions, Meng Sophia ordered the guards in the mansion to go to the Spirit Mine and pass the message to transport all the recently mined Spirit Stones back to the Meng family.
After that, they returned to the small courtyard.
Meng Sophia glanced at the room, her eyes darting away.
Qi Oliver sneered: "Don't worry. The innate Pure Yin Qi in your body has already been taken by me. Now, I have no interest in you at all. Tonight, you'll sleep in the courtyard."
Meng Sophia's expression turned gloomy.
She was the esteemed Young Lady of the Meng family, yet Qi Oliver was making her sleep in the courtyard!
"I can go back to Qinglan Courtyard. Don't worry, I still need you to restore my Yuan Power – I promise I won't run away!" Meng Sophia said, biting her lip.
"Someone who tells too many lies is no longer worthy of trust."
With a cold remark, Qi Oliver raised his palm and struck the back of Meng Sophia's neck with a palm strike, knocking her unconscious immediately. Then he tied her to the pear tree in the courtyard.
