As Di Tianyao spoke, he stared into Qi Wei's eyes. Qi Wei could feel the powerful aura of a superior pressing down on him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Qi Wei, remember this: what our Imperial City wants is development, not anything else.
Even if the Feng family has stood with us many times in the past, it does not mean that we will always stand with them in the future.
They cannot keep up with the development of the times and have been left behind us. This is their incompetence and has nothing to do with us.
The reason why the Soul Realm dared to cause trouble for the Feng Family as soon as they arrived was also because of the Feng Family’s incompetence.
If it weren't for the Feng family's incompetence that made them so easy to bully, why would the Soul Realm choose to attack the Feng family?"
Di Tianyao said to Qi Wei, and Qi Wei gradually lowered his head after hearing this.
Although he felt unwilling in his heart, if he looked at it from the perspective of a sect, there was nothing wrong with what Di Tianyao said.
As the leader of a sect, there is actually nothing wrong with Di Tianyao choosing to cooperate with Soul Realm rather than Phoenix Villa.
From a short-term perspective, once the Feng family falls, part of their territory will fall into the hands of the Imperial City.
Although the Soul Realm is powerful, it is impossible for it to join forces with the Great Snow Mountain Cult to attack the Imperial City.
After the fall of the Feng family, the four holy lands became opposed to each other again.
Once the Soul Realm continues to be entangled with the Great Snow Mountain Cult, it will be forcing the Imperial City and Prajna Mountain to form an alliance.
After all, whether it is Prajna Mountain or the Imperial City, it is impossible for them to face the two holy places alone, so they can only join forces to fight against each other.
This kind of situation does not cause any loss to the Imperial City.
In other words, according to Di Tianyao's approach, the current Imperial City will obtain some of the Feng family's resources and territory for free without paying any price.
They may even earn more than the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect. After all, as a holy place that has openly allied with the Soul Realm, the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect must deal with the Feng Family, so they may also suffer losses in the battle.
It only took Emperor City a few words to complete the task and lead the Feng family to death.
However, Qi Wei's reputation in the martial arts world will definitely be greatly damaged, because he was the one who agreed to the Feng family alliance, and after the Emperor City betrayed the Feng family and put them to death, all the bad reputation will be borne by him. "Elder Qi, I know that this approach will make you bear some bad reputation.
But we are all from the Imperial City. For the development of the Imperial City, we are all obliged to contribute to the Imperial City. Don’t you think so! ? "
Di Tianyao looked at Qi Wei and smiled gently, then spoke.
After hearing what Di Tianyao said, Qi Wei's expression changed for a long time, and finally he sighed deeply, nodded helplessly, and said: "I understand, there is nothing wrong with what the city lord did, I am a little short-sighted.
Since this bad reputation is borne for the Imperial City, I, Qi Wei, will never shirk it.
Thanks to the kindness of the Imperial City, I was able to go from a small person to where I am today. I will never forget the kindness of cultivation. I am willing to do my best for the development of the Imperial City, even if my reputation is damaged."
Although Qi Wei felt somewhat helpless, his last few words came from the heart.
After all, he has been a resident of the Imperial City all his life, and is a completely different person from Ye Li.
Ye Li is not very loyal to the Imperial City. In his life, the Ye family will always be more important than the Imperial City.
But Qi Wei is different. Imperial City is his home. Devoting all his heart and soul to the Imperial City is something he is absolutely willing to do.
Hearing the smell, Di Tianyao finally smiled and said, "It's good that Elder Qi can figure it out. I will only do this if it is beneficial to our Imperial City. If it is really something that is not good for the Imperial City, how could I do it?"
Qi Wei nodded when he heard this, and kept his head down without saying anything for a long time.
After a long while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Lord City Lord, there is something I have never asked you. You were in seclusion before, and I didn't find a chance to tell you.
I would like to ask you if you know where Mei Ruoxiang and Caiyi went. You said before that they went into seclusion, but it has been several years, why haven't they shown up
I... I heard a rumor that Mei Ruoxiang rebelled, took Caiyi hostage and attacked the Internal Affairs Army, and finally disappeared without a trace. I want to know if this is true.
I don't believe Meimei could do such a thing. He and I are both from the Imperial City. It is absolutely impossible for us to rebel.
Moreover, Meimei's feelings towards Caiyi are like those of a family member. She would rather die than let Caiyi get hurt, so how could she possibly hold Caiyi hostage?"
As Qi Wei spoke, his eyes turned red.
He hasn't seen Mei Ruoxiang and Dongfang Caiyi for several years.
After what happened to Ye Li, Dongfang Caiyi suddenly went into seclusion.
Originally, Qi Wei and Xue Ziping were planning to find Dongfang Caiyi from her retreat and ask her about Ye Li.
But for some unknown reason, Di Tianyao did not let them disturb Dongfang Caiyi's retreat.
Later, there were rumors that Mei Ruoxiang suddenly rebelled and took Dongfang Caiyi to attack the current Internal Affairs Army, which were some of the core senior elders of the Imperial City.
Despite being seriously injured, she successfully took Dongfang Caiyi hostage and left the Imperial City and disappeared.
At that time, Qi Wei was not in the sect, but left to do business in other places. When he returned to the Imperial City, he did not believe the rumors at all, so he asked the other elders in person.
However, no one could clearly explain what happened in this matter, and no one even confirmed to Qi Wei whether the rumor had actually happened.
Dongfang Caiyi and Mei Ruoxiang just disappeared out of thin air without leaving even a single clue.
Di Tianyao has never officially explained this matter. Qi Wei once wanted to ask, but was interrupted for various reasons. In the end, he never asked it in person until this moment.
After hearing Qi Wei's words, Di Tianyao was silent for a long time, and a trace of sadness seemed to flash in his eyes.
After a while, he nodded solemnly and said, "She... did betray the Imperial City.
Even I don’t know the specific reason.
She had stayed in the place where Caiyi was in seclusion in the name of waiting for her. Later, she inexplicably attacked several of our outer court elders and kidnapped Caiyi.
Caiyi didn't seem to have expected that the person who had always been closest to her would attack her, so she was not on guard at all.
I was in seclusion at the time, so naturally I didn't know about this matter, let alone give any instructions.
Those people were afraid that Caiyi would get hurt, so they failed to keep Mei Ruoxiang and eventually let her escape.
This is the biggest scandal and mystery in my Imperial City. Before all doubts are clarified, I have ordered that those involved in this matter not make any public statements, so they naturally cannot tell you anything. "
