Soon, Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou entered the room.
Seeing Yang Fei seated together with a strikingly beautiful woman, they were momentarily stunned but soon both of them paid respects to Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Xu Xiao, and finally turned to greet Yang Fei respectfully, "Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei smiled and nodded at them, then introduced, "This is my wife, Qin Yanyang."
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou were taken aback; the name sounded vaguely familiar: "Qin Yanyang, that name sounds familiar."
Seeing their reaction, Xu Yunshan understood that these two hadn’t met Qin Yanyang yet and did not know about her relationship with Yang Fei, so his anger dissipated quite a bit.
Yang Fei, seeing that Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou looked a bit disheveled but had not suffered much, felt relieved and smiled at them, asking, "Your family hasn’t been too hard on you, have they?"
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou gave an awkward smile and shook their heads simultaneously.
In front of the three elders, even if they felt aggrieved, they dared not speak out.
Xu Yunshan waved his hand, "Stand aside."
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou obediently backed away to the end of the line.
Yang Fei looked toward Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou, and knowingly asked with a smile, "The Xu Family invited me over for a discussion; may I know what it is about?"
Xu Liangyou looked at Xu Yunshan who nodded, then addressed Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, "Both of you, fifty years ago my family was wrongfully expelled from the Divine Continent Martial World, which is why the descendants of the Xu Family have never dared to slacken their cultivation efforts, hoping to someday return to the Divine Continent Martial World and reclaim everything we lost. Therefore, the Xu Family treats friends generously; as long as you are willing to befriend and support each other, if the Xu Family can cleanse itself of this disgrace in the future, we would be immensely grateful."
Xu Liangyou nodded and added, "The Xu Family wants to befriend both of you, to become friends."
Yang Fei smiled and nodded, "I, Yang Fei, also like making friends; it would be beneficial to be associated with a powerful family like the Xu Family. However, as far as I know, the Xu Family also has deep connections with other Martial Arts aristocratic families in the Divine Continent Martial World; heh, if I were to conflict with these families in the future, how would the Xu Family position itself?"
Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Xu Xiao all frowned at the same time, Xu Xiao scoffed, "Boy, are you suggesting that after cooperating with the Xu Family, we should cut ties with everyone else? I think you are overestimating yourself—how could you alone measure up to the many allies of the Xu Family?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "You are reading too much into my words. I just want to know the Xu Family’s stance."
Xu Xiao scoffed, "The Xu Family does not need to bow to anyone or any power, the stance of the Xu Family represents itself and no one else."
Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou did not stop him; instead, they silently nodded.
Despite being expelled from the Divine Continent Martial World, the Xu Family, with its profound heritage and formidable strength, inherently carried pride.
You can collaborate with the Xu Family; they don’t mind having an extra ally, but expecting the Xu Family to take orders is out of the question!
Yang Fei slowly shook his head, "It seems you have no sincere intention to collaborate."
Xu Xiao angrily retorted, "Boy, who do you think you are, attempting to subdue the Xu Family and ordering us around?"
Yang Fei’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Xu Xiao, "Can you be quiet? When did I ever say I wanted the Xu Family to take orders?"
Xu Xiao coldly responded, "We haven’t even started collaborating, and you’re already asking such questions. I see you are young but not short on ambition."
Yang Fei didn’t look at him, turning instead to Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou, "Do the two of you share the same attitude?"
Xu Liangyou frowned and remained silent.
Xu Yunshan, somewhat displeased with Yang Fei’s previously expressed implications, thought for a moment and said, "Little Brother Yang, if you expect the Xu Family to side exclusively with you after collaboration, that might be too challenging. The Xu Family can only promise that if you conflict with others after collaborating with us, we will wholeheartedly mediate and strive for harmony and profit."
Qin Yanyang spoke up, "And if mediation is not possible?"
Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Xu Xiao’s expressions changed suddenly.
Xu Liangyou couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Qin, are you saying the Qin Family is also involved?"
Qin Yanyang smiled slightly, "I can’t represent the Qin Family, but I am Yang Fei’s wife, joined with him in life and death, advancing and retreating together. His choice is my choice."
The expressions on the Xu Family members’ faces changed slightly.
Although Qin Yanyang spoke tactfully, her meaning was quite clear. For more chapters visit novel~fire~net
She firmly stood by Yang Fei’s side, and though she could not represent the Qin Family, how could her status as the Heavenly Pride Girl of the Qin Family be separated from the Qin Family’s interests?
Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou’s expressions dramatically changed, finally realizing the significance of the name Qin Yanyang.
The two men looked at Yang Fei in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
You are the son-in-law of the Qin Family?
Your wife is the Qin Family’s Heavenly Pride Girl, Qin Yanyang?
The two were inwardly horrified and couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards Qin Yanyang.
It was said that this Miss Qin was exceptionally gifted, having stepped into the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade at a young age, and there was even a rumor that she might break through to the Innate Realm within ten years, becoming the second genius in a thousand years in the Divine Continent Martial World to enter the Innate Realm around the age of thirty.
Such a genius was Mr. Yang’s wife?
At this moment, the two looked at Qin Yanyang then back at Yang Fei, with doubts arising deep inside: How did Miss Qin come to favor Mr. Yang?
While Mr. Yang was indeed a true Martial Arts prodigy, he had no family background, and his strength must be far inferior to Miss Qin’s, right?
As the Xu Family members were shocked, Qin Yanyang spoke again, "Half a month ago, two grandmaster-level experts from the Shadow Organization attempted to kill me on Yun Mountain, and one of them was from the Xu Family, wasn’t he?"
Upon these words, the expressions of the Xu Family members drastically changed.
Xu Xingzhou hurriedly said, "Miss Qin, they were targeting Mr. Yang that day, not you."
"Shut up!" Xu Yunshan’s face darkened as he growled low at Xu Xingzhou.
Xu Xingzhou shuddered in fear, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead, and he quickly shut his mouth.
Yang Fei smiled slightly and said to Xu Yunshan, "Elder, there’s no need to be angry with Xu Xingzhou, nor to hide anymore. It wasn’t Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou who told me the identity of Xu Yingluo that day; my wife was also there, and she recognized Xu Yingluo."
Xu Yunshan, with a gloomy face, said, "Xu Yingluo was a traitor to the Xu Family, expelled over a decade ago. His actions have nothing to do with my Xu Family, and since he already died at Miss Qin’s hands, Miss Qin surely wouldn’t blame the Xu Family, right?"
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly, shaking her head, "Of course not. All of this is the responsibility of the Shadow Organization. However, as far as I know, there seem to be several forces secretly supporting the Shadow behind the scenes, including the Xu Family, right?"
The faces of Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Xu Xiao became extremely gloomy.
Especially Xu Xiao, who didn’t hide the killing intent flashing in his eyes at all. Staring at Qin Yanyang, he said, "Miss Qin, what do you mean by this? Many things can’t be recklessly spoken without evidence."
Qin Yanyang’s gaze fell on Xu Xiao’s face, responding coldly, "What if I said it anyway?"
Xu Xiao was startled as a chill flashed in his eyes, "Hmph, this isn’t the Qin Family’s home, but the Xu Family’s. Although you are Miss of the Qin Family, my Xu Family is not a place where others can demonstrate their prowess. Besides, the current Qin Family is not the foremost in the Divine Continent Martial World, as far as I know. If my Xu Family were to cooperate with the Zhang Family, what would your Qin Family amount to?"
Qin Yanyang’s face broke into a serene smile again as she looked at Xu Xiao and asked, "So, has the Xu Family already secretly allied with the Zhang Family, reaching some sort of cooperation agreement?"
