Just as Zhang Yan was about to make a move, a young woman stepped forward and said to him, "Father, I believe the Grand Commander has a point."

"The spirit herbs were stolen, and while they are at fault, it doesn't warrant death. Moreover, executing them would play right into the thieves' hands."

The woman was in her early twenties, fair-skinned and beautiful, wearing a long white dress. Her martial prowess was at the 5th-level Martial Master Realm.

Everyone recognized her; she was none other than Zhang Yan's eldest daughter, Zhang Xin, the strategist of the City Lord's Manor, deeply cherished by Zhang Yan.
