Outside the Wang family residence.
Nangong Xier let out a long sigh. She switched the sword to her left hand and swung it gently with her right hand. It had only been a cup of tea, but her palm holding the sword was already soaked with sweat.
"That one good word just now could kill someone." Nangong Xier lowered her head and looked at the sword of her lover, "I almost couldn't help but draw my sword."
The young man in green pulled at his collar. His juniors were actually sweating profusely. “Among the disciples of the previous generation of the four major families, Dongfang Yunwo is recognized as the best in talent, martial arts and strategy. Perhaps only my seventh uncle can be compared with him. Many people say that when Dongfang Yunwo takes the position of the head of this generation, the ranking of the four major families will also change.”
"But he agreed." Nangong Xier looked to the left and saw Dongfang Yunwo and Dongfang Qi had already left on horseback.
"Another interesting point is that Dongfang Yun and Wang Ruoxu were taught by the same master since childhood. They were brothers from the same school and later became sworn brothers. They have a very good relationship in private." Qing Yi Lang said with a smile, "But their personalities are very different. Wang Ruoxu is outspoken and famous for being domineering and rude, while Dongfang Yun has always been taciturn, doing things steadily and considering the overall situation. He has always had the best reputation among the four major families. So today Wang Ruoxu dared to make such a request, and Dongfang Yun actually agreed to it."
Nangong Xier shook her head and said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
"Of course it won't be that simple. We'll just have to wait and see in three days. The Wang family made this request today, and they must have thought that I would be the first to oppose it, but I agreed. Because once I agree, the Lu family will also agree, and then the pressure will be on the Dongfang family. Dongfang Yun, Wang Ruoxu and I will have to stand on opposite sides, and that's what I want to see." The man in green walked forward, "Let's go. As for the matter of brother Su Baiyi, don't worry. Believe me, he will definitely show up at the Heroes Conference in three days."
Nangong Xier whispered: "But the person next to him..."
"It's been several months, and that person hasn't killed him. Why would he do it these days? And that person, you and I together are no match for him, unless the Taoist Master or the Confucian Saint comes in person, otherwise..." The man in green smiled, "Spear Saint Wang Yi is a very suitable opponent."
"Father, why did you agree to his request today?" Dongfang Qi followed behind Dongfang Yunwo and said indignantly.
Dongfang Yunwo looked solemn, rode his horse forward, and said nothing.
"Wang Ruoxu is just relying on the fact that he has a spear master in his family. What ability does he have? Why does he always stay as the head of the four major families? He clearly wants to annex the other three families and merge them into one to become his chief lord." Dongfang Qi continued to talk to himself, "Father, you shouldn't have said yes!"
"Okay." Dongfang Yun looked up and suddenly cursed, "I'm a jerk!"
Dongfang Qi was stunned. He had been with his father for more than ten years, and this was the first time he saw his father utter a swear word. But the next moment his father returned to his expressionless look, gently flicked the reins, and walked towards the inn.
Inside the Wang family mansion, Wang Ruoxu also heaved a long sigh of relief. He had not expected that this negotiation would be so smooth, but this smoothness also made him very uneasy. While he was thinking, he heard cursing voices coming from outside the door.
"Xie Xing, you still have the nerve to come to my Xie family? I will kill you!" Wang Buyu rushed in with a sword in hand, but the hall was empty, and there was no trace of Qing Yi Lang. He put away his sword and asked, "Where is Xie Xing?" It turned out that Qing Yi Lang had seriously injured Wang Buyu in the martial arts competition of the young disciples of the four major families. When Wang Buyu heard that he was coming today, he immediately rushed over with a sword, and Xie Yingying also rushed over at the same time. Xie Yingying stood outside the door, looking inside with concern, but did not see anyone else.
"Xie Xing has left." Wang Ruoxu said silently, not knowing whether he was speaking to Wang Buyu or Xie Yingying. After hearing this, Xie Yingying turned around and left immediately with a look of disappointment. Wang Buyu did not notice this, but turned around angrily with his sword in hand, and was about to go out and chase the man in green.
"Nonsense!" Wang Ruoxu shouted angrily and slapped Wang Buyu so hard that he spun around on the spot.
Wang Buyu hastily put his sword on the ground, barely avoiding falling down: "Father! Since Xie Xing is here, why don't you take him down right here?"
Wang Ruoxu sighed helplessly: "When the big things are at stake, you only remember these small favors and grudges. If I really become the master of the martial arts world, not to mention Xie Xing, even the entire Xie family will no longer exist. Why are you so anxious?"
Wang Buyu was not happy at all when he heard this. Instead, he showed a ferocious expression: "Father is very ambitious, I can't compare to him. I just know that I will kill anyone who makes me unhappy!"
"Waste." Wang Ruoxu waved his hand.
"They are trash. It's a pity that your three sons are all trash." Wang Buyu sneered, "One is an idiot, one is a nerd, and the other is me. Who can you choose from three trash? Isn't it just me?"
Wang Ruoxu frowned slightly and sneered: "Who said you are the only one?"
Wang Buyu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Wang Ruoxu meant and showed an expression of disbelief: "You want to put your hope on that little bastard?"
"Little bastard?" Wang Ruoxu slapped him. "That's your eldest brother's child! Although he hasn't been born yet, with my current power, what's wrong with waiting for him for twenty years? I've devoted everything I have to train him in the past twenty years, and I'll ask my uncle to teach him martial arts. In the future, he will become a peerless talent. Don't think I don't have a choice. If you use your brain now, you'll still have a chance in the future."
“But that child has the blood of the Xie family in him.” Wang Buyu said angrily.
"Then do you know who your mother is?" Wang Ruoxu punched Wang Buyu out again, "What kind of blood is flowing in your body?"
In the backyard of the Wang family, a scholar with a book in his hand was sitting in the courtyard as usual, basking in the sun and looking at the flowers. Beside him, a few tabby cats were lying and sleeping quietly.
Xie Yingying passed by and bowed to him.
"My sister-in-law is pregnant, so there is no need to perform the formalities in the future." The scholar smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
Xie Yingying nodded: "The Second Young Master is reading again."
"The big exam is coming soon. We need to read more books." The scholar said with a smile.
Xie Yingying stopped talking and continued walking towards the inner room.
This was the only person in the entire Wang family mansion with whom she could speak. Every day he would sit here and read. Xie Yingying would also pass by here and they would chat for a few minutes when they met. Although they were always talking about trivial family matters, this was the happiest thing for Xie Yingying every day.
This made her feel that she was still alive.
