Chapter 17: Shadows of Manipulation
Yin Estate is teetering on the edge of chaos. Paranoia is growing among the slaves and family members, and Adam has gone from being a coward, silent and invisible, through the chaos. All the seeds of doubt he has planted are starting to sprout, and soon the sky will be filled with trouble.
started breakfast that morning. The patriarch, Yin Wei, sat at the family table with a look of anger etched on his face. His gloomy gaze among the children, his voice As if abandoning the punishment he used on them.
said: "One of these Ahl al-Bayt is thinking of me." "First it was the theft of the precious book. Now the whispering of the servants and the guards has changed. "
Yin Hua, the eldest daughter, was angered by her father's words. "Are you saying that one of us is responsible, father?" she asked in an icy voice.
"I don't want to say anything," Yin Wei replied. "But it's true There is still - someone is working on me here. And until I find out who it is, there is no real suspect. "
Yin Zhou, the opportunist, leaned back in his seat with a smile. Looking sharply at Yin Hua, he said, "If some people hadn't been more careful, we wouldn't have encountered this situation at all.
Yin Hua's eyes bulged with anger. "I didn't do anything wrong to cause trouble for this family. Unlike you, I don't spend my nights in silence on the house. "
thoughts It escalated quickly, with accusations all over the table. The brothers watched in silence, their expressions a mixture of fear and uncertainty. Yin Wei's anger flared and he slammed his hand on the table, causing everyone to fall silent.
"Stop!" he shouted. "If you can't control yourself, I'll send the guards to check each and every one of you."
Adam, who was making tea in the corner of the room, hid a smile. The problem between Yin Zhu and Yin Hua was one A gift, he wouldn't waste it.
After breakfast, Adam returned to his duties, taking care to maintain his appearance as an obedient servant. But his mind was already strong and planning his next task. The Yin family's internal conflict is growing, but the pressure must be strong to reach its breaking point.
That evening, Adam entered the family's private garden, a secluded place used for gardening and meditation. He had chosen this place carefully and cautiously This was the perfect place for his next adventure.
From his clothes, Adam pulled out a small bag containing a rare herb he had stolen from the country's warehouse - Moonflower. When burned, the smoke produced delusion and paranoia, making it a valuable tool for those skilled in mental warfare.
He crushed the flower into a fine powder and spread it around the meditation hall. With a spiritual spark, he ignited the powder and released it. A faint, almost invisible smoke rose into the air.
a trap was set.
Yin Zhou was the first to arrive at the garden. His expression was gloomy, his mind deeply troubled by the morning's activities. He sat in the gazebo and closed his eyes and began to meditate.
minutes later, Yin Hua appeared, walking thoughtfully as he walked to the pavilion. "What are you doing here, Zhou?" he asked
"I can ask you one more question," he replied in his own voice. Reducing shame
Almost immediately they quarreled again, blaming each other for the grandfather's ideas. But as Moonshade Blossom's influence kicked in, their voices grew louder and more erratic.
"I know you want to weaken me," Yin Hua whispered as she narrowed her eyes.
"Weaken you? Don't be ridiculous," Yin Shu replied. "You're a liar, Hua. "Your father may be right to doubt you."
Fantasy As their anger escalated, it turned into a physical fight. Yin Zhou drew his sword, the blade shining in the moonlight, while Yin Hua summoned spiritual strength to defend herself.
Adam watched from the shadows with a mixture of amusement and satisfaction. The Moonshade Blossom had done more than he had expected, reinforcing their paranoia and pushing them to the brink of violence.
However, the battle did not last long. The commotion subsided The guards' attention quickly shifted to the scene to separate the brothers. Yin Wei arrived a few moments later, his anger evident as he demanded an explanation.
"They've completely lost it," one of the guards said as he held Yin Xue.
, Yin Zhou cried: "It's their fault." "He thought of me!"
"It's a lie!" Yin Hua spat. "You're the one trying to deceive the family!"
Yin Wei's face darkened, his voice cold as he spoke to the brothers. "Tonight you have brought shame to this family," he said. "Until I find out the truth, I will lock you in your room. Guards, get it. "
With the garden gone, Adam set out, his mind already set on his move. The Yin Family had fallen faster than he had expected, and he had to take advantage of their troubles.
Adam was sent back to the slave house The short-term thought of the rewards of this system had raised his cultivation to new heights, but his goal was still far away.
Objective: To create discord among the members of the Yin Family. Progress: 75%

Adam's eyes lit up with hope. Improving the system would open up new avenues for him, giving him more tools to control his enemies and gain power.
Now he was waiting His time was waiting for the perfect moment to come. The fall of the Yin family is inevitable, and Adam decides that he is the one to pull the strings.
