Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 353: What Nail?

Wen Jiang’s brow twitched.

There is indeed an unpleasant aura entering the house.

Yin Tianxiao is now Wen Jiang’s suspect.

After Jimo Xiao’s fall, she detected traces of Yin Tianxiao from the clues.

This man is petty and narrow-minded. Back then, the incident with the Yin Family almost set the Jimo Family and the entire nobility at odds. Yin Tianxiao even tried to use his identity as a UR-Rank Spirit Card Master to make Wen Jiang yield.

Of course, Wen Jiang didn’t pay any attention to him.

Perhaps he might have held a grudge against Wen Jiang, but it was not something Wen Jiang worried about.

If this man is really involved in Jimo Xiao’s death?

Then he shouldn’t live in this world.

So, what is he here for today?

In the living room, Hua Zhuo was still smiling at Yin Tianxiao.

Yin Tianxiao’s appearance was ordinary, his stature not very tall.

When he advanced to become a UR-Rank Spirit Card Master, he was arguably the most peculiar among them.

A UR-Rank Spirit Card Master, yet in terms of personal strength, he didn’t seem to stand out compared to the other UR-Rank Spirit Card Masters.

Except for that UR card he made when he advanced, he hasn’t created another card since.

Not even an S-Rank.

This completely defies the typical concept of a UR-Rank Spirit Card Master.

Back when Teacher Li Huijun was at that age, she could still create SSR cards like ’Kun’.

It’s not just the people of the Yunxia Empire who found it odd; Wen Jiang also found this person very peculiar.

She even began to question the origins of his card.

At this moment, Yin Tianxiao stood here, looking at Hua Zhuo with a deep and probing gaze.

"Lady Hua, you are General Jimo Xiao’s junior sister. After Jimo Xiao’s demise, you took over the Jimo Family. Now that Wen Jiang is back, you handed over all the power to her. She is very young, are you sure she can bear the heavy burden of the Jimo Family?"

Hua Zhuo’s brow furrowed slightly.

This Yin Tianxiao, such obvious attempts to drive a wedge?

She merely smiled faintly, "Wen Jiang is the rightful heir of the Jimo Family. Even though she is young, she will have to bear this burden sooner or later, what difference does it make if it’s sooner rather than later?"

Yin Tianxiao looked at Hua Zhuo with an indescribable gaze.

Once in power, is it really that easy to relinquish that power to others?

Yin Tianxiao could not quite believe that Hua Zhuo willingly handed over everything of the Jimo Family to Wen Jiang.

Without Wen Jiang, the Jimo Family would eventually belong to Hua Zhuo.

Seeing Yin Tianxiao here with ill intentions, Hua Zhuo continued, "Teacher Yin, why not directly say the purpose of your visit?"

"I am here to apologize on behalf of the Yin Family."

Hua Zhuo paused.

And then her mouth curled into a peculiar smile.

Apologize on behalf of the Yin Family?

The Yin Family probably wishes they could swallow Wen Jiang alive.

After Yin Zhiqi was sentenced to death, the Yin Family nearly went insane.

This led to the card battle with the Jimo Family.

Had it not been for Wen Jiang’s firm support, the Jimo Family would have been eradicated by the joint forces of other nobles, and how could it be that Yin Tianxiao would show up today?

The situation back then was so tense, and not a single apology was given to the contestant under Mount Flower.

Now they’re here to apologize, and Yin Tianxiao personally at that?

It’s simply because they saw the large sales from cards under Mount Flower, along with the Yunxia mythological tales provided by Wen Jiang, the Yin Family began to sense something was off.

Want to surrender?

Not quite.

Perhaps wanting to come shamelessly to negotiate peace, to secure a share in the card business.

Yin Tianxiao sat in the main seat of the living room, like he were a master, even while apologizing, there was an air of condescension.

"I know the matter with Yin Zhiqi is our Yin Family’s responsibility. Now that this poor child has already paid with his life, why must we remain locked in such conflict? We are all Spirit Card Masters of Yunxia, working for the good of Yunxia."

"Now that the Yunxia myth is out, our Empire can only get better. Past grievances, let’s put them aside for now. The urgent task is to create new cards, to surpass Frost Moon and the Sanctuary!"

He spoke as if honestly.

But Hua Zhuo heard the insincerity in his tone.

For the good of the Yunxia Empire?

Can a noble have such ideas?

Hua Zhuo wanted to laugh.

But she restrained herself.

Hua Zhuo said gently, "Teacher Yin, I’ve received your apology, but this matter was initially handled solely by Wen Jiang. I am not familiar with many details, perhaps after she finishes the selection competition, you could come over and discuss it with her?"

Yin Tianxiao’s face darkened for a moment.

Wait until she finishes the selection competition?

What is her rank?

And his rank!

He found it gracious enough to come here today as giving face to the Jimo Family.

This Hua Zhuo, simply ungrateful.

If not for being mindful of the Yin Family’s matters, Yin Tianxiao would have already taught this ungrateful Hua Zhuo a lesson.

Since becoming a UR-Rank Spirit Card Master, few have dared not give him face.

Except this Wen Jiang.

The last banquet, it was only Lady Hua who was permitted to attend.

Yet, on that very day, the Black Tortoise reappeared, and Gong Shu advanced to become the new UR-Rank Spirit Card Master.

The banquet he held turned into Gong Shu’s backdrop, his dignity trampled underfoot.

What aggravated him more was that Gong Shu has not yet attended any UR-Rank Spirit Card Master meeting, and hasn’t officially met him.

He’s left with no reason to explode.

"She is young, acts impulsively, and may not see things through clearly." Yin Tianxiao said lightly, "Lady Hua, your leg, after all these years, is there still no hope of recovery?"

Hua Zhuo’s smile disappeared.

Her leg was once her heartache.

Now healed, except Wen Jiang, no one knew.

But Yin Tianxiao mentioned it deliberately, which was to intentionally poke her wound.

"I still remember your high-spirited appearance back then. If your leg wasn’t hurt, perhaps Yunxia could have had one more UR-Rank Spirit Card Master? Alas, what a pity..."

Yin Tianxiao seemed to sigh.

And Hua Zhuo’s pupils contracted instantly.

On records, she is known as Jimo Xiao’s junior sister, which is a publicly acknowledged identity.

But ever since being harmed by Yu Jian, even Hua Zhuo’s memory faded from public awareness.

Hardly anyone knows that Hua Zhuo was once a famed genius Spirit Card Master in Yunxia.

Even how she became Jimo Xiao’s junior sister, outsiders didn’t quite know.

But how did Yin Tianxiao know?

Even if he’s a UR-Rank Spirit Card Master, other UR-Rank Spirit Card Masters have completely forgotten about this!

Hua Zhuo’s heart raced in that instant.

And the perpetual ill-tempered Wen Jiang caught the loophole in Yin Tianxiao’s words after this remark.

After a while, Wen Jiang softly curled her lips.

"So, there was a nail buried there."

Ordinary S-Rank Spirit Card Master Yin Tianxiao became the sixth UR-Rank Spirit Card Master.

Yet he hasn’t created a new card since.

So that’s the reason.

It seems Yu Jian has gained another admirer.

Zero Egg was in Wen Jiang’s mind, but it couldn’t hear the living room conversation.

Immediately, it awkwardly asked: [What nail? Who buried a nail?]
