Chapter 1790: Common Enemy
"Yun Lingxiao... is the current head of the Yun family?"
After hearing Han Ziming's words, Xiao Yi's expression changed, and he was quite surprised.
It seems that Yun Lingxiao is really powerful. He can even surpass her elder brother and take on the responsibility of supporting the Yun family.
Then, he suddenly remembered the expression on Saint Yuanshan's face when he talked to him about Yun Lingxiao, and understood something.
"It seems like a tough nut to crack..."
Xiao Yi murmured in his heart, but he had to admit that his impression of his brother-in-law Yun Chengtian was really bad.
He didn't think about it any more and contacted Taoist Boyuan, who said that he would come to Qingyang Villa to meet him early the next morning.
It was mid-afternoon when Han Ziming summoned some important members of the three major families, including the younger generation.
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
Qi Yongyuan had already noticed something, and others also had various speculations.
"I received news that Netherworld Villa is preparing to alienate our three families, so I wanted to give you a heads up as soon as possible."
Han Ziming said directly.
Xiao Yi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look at Nangong Ping and his son, observing something.
"Estrangement?"
Qi Yongyuan frowned.
The others exchanged glances, and their expressions all changed.
"Well, rather than using force against us directly, they should be more willing to disintegrate us from within, hoping that we will be suspicious of each other and cause misunderstandings. Once we are in chaos, they will have a chance."
Han Ziming said calmly.
"What a joke! The relationship between me, my second brother and my eldest brother goes far beyond the relationship between brothers. How can they destroy it?"
Nangong Ping spoke up, very disdainful.
"I also thought it was ridiculous at first. The main reason I told you this was to remind you to be on guard and take care of your family. Don't let those guys from Nether Villa take advantage of you."
Han Ziming said this seriously, without showing any suspicion towards Nangong Ping throughout the whole process.
His purpose this time was indeed to test, and he also wanted to observe whether Nangong Ping and his son would have any other actions next.
Qi Yongyuan's eyes narrowed. Could it be that... Han Ziming had already found out something? Was Netherworld Villa trying to disintegrate him or the Nangong family?
If that's the case, why can't we just say it? This...
The thought flashed through his mind and his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at his own people and then at Nangong Ping.
Han Mingxu and Xiao Yi looked at each other. He was also observing Nangong Yuanming's condition and did not notice anything unusual for the time being.
For a moment, he even felt a little relieved. He was more willing to believe that Nangong Yuanming was just being used by his master.
However, judging from the current situation, nothing can be concluded yet.
"Don't worry, big brother. I will keep them under strict control and will never give them any chance to take advantage of me!"
Qi Yongyuan said seriously.
"me too……"
Nangong Ping also expressed the same opinion, and then he understood Han Ziming's real intention.
"In addition, for Yun Chengtian's arrival today, apart from anything else, I should thank him. It was he who brought back the body of my fifth brother!"
Han Ziming changed the subject and continued.
After hearing this, everyone had all kinds of expressions, confusion, astonishment, and it was difficult to understand.
After listening to Han Ziming's further explanation, Qi Yongyuan was more certain that something must have happened, which made his elder brother very embarrassed and unable to speak directly...
Han Ziming picked up the teacup and drank his tea. He didn't say anything more. That was all he had to say.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. As for Yun Chengtian's purpose of coming, I'm sure you can all guess something."
Han Ziming put down his teacup and looked past Qi Yongyuan and the other person to the elders and young people of the two families.
"I know that some people may think that it might be an option for us at Qingyang Villa to join the Yun family. It is better than being a slave of Youming Villa."
Everyone's expression changed again, because some of them had indeed thought so.
"Brother! What conditions did Yun Chengtian offer?"
Nangong Ping asked directly.
"The third one!"
Qi Yongyuan's tone changed.
"That's not what I meant, second brother. You know my attitude towards Yun Chengtian today."
Nangong Ping was startled and hurriedly explained.
"The conditions he set were..."
Han Ziming explained it in detail, not only to Qi Yongyuan and the other two, but also to let others know.
After all, he would not distrust his two brothers, but he would always be wary of the people in Qi Yongyuan's family.
In other words, these people are very likely to influence the positions and attitudes of his two brothers.
"Too deceiving!"
"How can the Yun family have the confidence to give us a way out? They themselves are probably in a difficult situation!"
When everyone heard the conditions mentioned by Yun Chengtian, they were shocked. That was almost the same as being a slave of Youming Villa.
Xiao Yi smacked his lips. It seemed that the Yun family’s reputation outside was indeed not very good, or rather, it was ruined by Yun Chengtian.
"To be honest, if Xu'er really gets into trouble this time, Yun Chengtian's arrival may be the last glimmer of hope for us."
Han Ziming spoke again.
"But you also saw that Mr. Xiao showed up, and it was he who maintained the dignity of our Qingyang Villa today."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi, and they were all very moved. Many of them had witnessed the sparring with their own eyes, and they were shocked, as well as full of doubts.
"Everyone, I know you have a lot of doubts about me, and maybe some of you have heard something about me."
Xiao Yi spoke slowly.
"But now, I just want to say one thing, the future of Qingyang Villa can only be decided by you, I promise to protect you to the end!
This is a favor my master owes your ancestor. Of course, Netherworld Villa was originally my enemy!"
Qi Yongyuan and Nangong Ping exchanged glances, and then they looked at the people behind them.
If Xiao Yi and Yun Chengtian had not fought today, they would have found this ridiculous, but no one would have such an idea now.
"Thank you Mr. Xiao!"
Qi Yongyuan and Nangong Ping both bowed.
Then, the people behind him did the same thing, but they had to admit that they still had some questions in their minds, naturally because they didn't know Xiao Yi well enough.
"I called you all here today to reach a consensus on this matter! Whether it is towards Youming Villa or the Yun family and other people, my Qingyang Villa will never make any compromises this time!"
Han Ziming said in a clear voice.
"With Mr. Xiao here, we will definitely get through this crisis smoothly!"
"Most definitely!"
"That's right! We will never compromise!"
Qi Yongyuan and the others were all excited and shared the same hatred for the enemy. No matter what, Qingyang Villa had more hope and confidence!
When everyone dispersed, it was already dark.
Xiao Yi had dinner with Han Ziming and his son, and chatted about some things before returning to the room.
"Xiao Yi, is there anything going on?"
Na Ruoyun asked while making a pot of tea for Xiao Yi.
"Not yet. Maybe there is really nothing wrong with Nangong Ping and his son, but it's hard to say."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Ah."
Na Ruoyun nodded in response.
"Oh, I'm afraid I'll have to work hard tonight."
Xiao Yi thought of something and took a sip of tea.
"What? Practice?"
"No, it's alchemy."
"Alchemy?"
Na Ruoyun quickly understood what was going on.
"Is it because Taoist Boyuan is coming tomorrow and you want to cram for the exam?"
"Shh..."
Xiao Yi made a gesture to keep quiet.
"I was thinking, Master seems to have really had something happen to him recently. Could he not even know that your Master is in trouble?"
"Maybe it's possible."
Na Ruoyun nodded.
