"My Yang clan has matters to attend to, so I won't keep you two any longer. Second brother, see them out!"

Yang Wei, the head of the Yang family, first treated Xiahou Chu and Qin Xin with a very gentle attitude, and then directly arranged for Yang Feng to see the guests off.

This combination of soft and hard tactics left Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu somewhat dumbfounded. Yang Wei's words were telling them that Yang Ruoyi's marriage was a family matter of the Yang clan.

“Father, I have other matters to attend to and need to leave with them.”

Yang Ruoyi, who was standing to the side, didn't want to stay there for even a minute longer. Seeing that Yang Feng was about to leave with Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu, she turned around and prepared to follow.

"You! Stop right there!"

Seeing that Yang Ruoyi was about to leave, Yang Wei roared in fury once again.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu immediately stopped in their tracks. As fellow disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, they did not want to watch their senior sister jump into the sea of ​​fire.

After exchanging a glance, Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu understood each other's plan.

As the patriarch of the Yang clan and Yang Ruoyi's father, if Yang Wei were to imprison Yang Ruoyi within the clan, even if the elders of the Tianxuan Sect came to speak, it would likely be of no use.

However, if Qin Xin and Xiahou Chu were to stay, the outcome would be different. They could be said to have no connection with the Yang clan. If they were left in the Yang clan, the Tianxuan Sect would probably not be able to explain it away.

This is why Yang Wei immediately had Yang Feng escort the two of them away.

In contrast, Zhao Xuri sat quietly sipping his tea, seemingly oblivious to all of this. All he cared about was the final outcome: for his son, Zhao Cheng, to marry Yang Ruoyi as soon as possible.

These past few years, the Yang clan has not had an easy time in Blue Moon City. This is because the Yang clan is the strongest in Blue Moon City, and Yang Ruoyi has also joined the Tianxuan Sect. If she becomes a Dharma Aspect Realm expert in the future, then the entire Blue Moon City will be under the rule of the Yang clan.

The various forces in Blue Moon City naturally did not want to see this happen. Since Yang Ruoyi joined the Tianxuan Sect, they all united to suppress the Yang Clan.

Initially, the Yang Clan, with its abundant resources, didn't care. The conflict in Blue Moon City remained in a delicate balance. However, to the Yang Clan's surprise, those families were backed by a mysterious force, which caused the Yang Clan to quickly fall into a disadvantageous position in this conflict.

Nowadays, the streets and markets of the Yang clan are constantly closing down. If this continues, it's hard to say whether the Yang clan can even survive here, let alone maintain its dominant position in Blue Moon City. The only solution is to form an alliance with the Zhao clan of Falling Moon City, which is the closest city to Blue Moon City.

Previously, Zhao Xuri, the patriarch of the Zhao clan in Luoyue City, had visited the Yang clan many times, wanting his son to be engaged to Yang Ruoyi.

Yang Wei did not want to use his daughter's marriage as a condition for the alliance, so he refused. However, as the Yang clan declined, Yang Wei had no choice but to compromise.

Although Yang Ruoyi resided in the Tianxuan Sect, she was aware of news within her family. After hearing about the arranged marriage, she refused to return to her family, which caused Yang Wei a great headache, since he couldn't simply go to the Tianxuan Sect to snatch her away.

After receiving news that Yang Ruoyi had passed through Blue Moon City, Yang Wei immediately arranged for people to bring her back to his family. He also notified Zhao Xuri and his son in Falling Moon City, wanting to arrange the marriage directly, even if Yang Ruoyi was unwilling.

Qin Xin was initially unaware of Yang Ruoyi's situation, but fortunately, Xiahou Chu often went out with her on training trips, so he knew quite a bit about it.

After receiving these telepathic messages from Xiahou Chu, Qin Xin couldn't help but step forward.

"To sell out his own daughter's happiness for the sake of his family! Alas, how tragic!"

Qin Xin's sigh immediately made the atmosphere in the entire council hall tense.

At this moment, Xiahou Chu quietly circulated his internal energy, and the aura of the Solid Core Realm began to spread.

Yang Ruoyi was also surprised that Qin Xin would stand up for her. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and she turned her Yuan Power around as if preparing for a big battle.

“Young man at the Yuanfu Realm! This has nothing to do with you, so don’t get involved.”

Zhao Cheng, who was standing behind Zhao Xuri, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Qin Xin as he spoke.

"Oh? What does this have to do with you?" Qin Xin could also sense the aura emanating from Zhao Cheng's body. Although he possessed the strength of the Void Core Realm, it was extremely weak, as if he had been forcibly enhanced by external forces.

Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin immediately sensed that Zhao Cheng's aura was extremely similar to that of the previous Murong clan elder, as if both required the use of women's yin essence to rapidly enhance their cultivation.

If Zhao Cheng hadn't released his Yuan energy aura while speaking, even Qin Xin, with his spiritual sense, would have had difficulty detecting it.

However, this also led Qin Xin to a bold guess: Falling Moon City and Blue Moon City are very close, but the Yang Clan is currently facing a crisis, and Zhao Xuri of Falling Moon City has absolutely no need to get involved in this mess.

If it were said that Zhao Xuri's decision to have Yang Ruoyi join the Tianxuan Sect would benefit the future development of the Zhao clan, that would be unlikely, because sects do not interfere in family conflicts and development.

The only explanation is that Zhao Xuri wanted to complete the marriage between his son and Yang Ruoyi, and it was highly likely that it was for Zhao Ruoyi's yin essence, which seemed to be very important to Zhao Cheng.

After hearing Qin Xin's question, Zhao Cheng raised his head and said coldly, "I will be the son-in-law of the Yang family. It doesn't matter. On the contrary, the Tianxuan Sect never interferes in family matters. Aren't you violating the rules of the Tianxuan Sect by being here now?"

"If this matter is reported to the Tianxuan Sect, tsk tsk..."

Zhao Cheng has followed his father for so many years, and he is no fool; what he says is reasonable and well-founded.

"You want me to marry you? You'll have to die here first!"

Yang Ruoyi looked at Zhao Cheng with disgust.

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the council hall became tense. As the group circulated their Yuan energy, it caused the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble, and the tables and chairs in the council hall began to shake.

"Enough!"

Seeing this situation, Yang Wei also roared angrily.

The powerful aura completely suppressed the surrounding fluctuating spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The wrath of the Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist caused the blood energy within Qin Xin, Xiahou Chu, and the other two to surge.

Fortunately, Qin Xin's physical body was quite strong due to his cultivation of the Desolate God Battle Body; otherwise, he would probably have already coughed up blood under the force of this rage.

"Alas! Ruoyi, can't you think about the family? I have no choice but to do this."

Yang Wei's expression suddenly softened as he looked at the stubborn Yang Ruoyi and spoke softly.

"Hmph! You keep talking about the family's sake, but have you forgotten how my mother died?"

Yang Ruoyi's eyes reddened slightly, and she suddenly asked in a questioning voice.

As soon as he said this, Yang Wei's aura surged suddenly, as if he was about to take action immediately, but he seemed to be forcibly suppressing his anger.

Zhao Xuri, who was standing to the side, put down his teacup and slowly stood up, saying, "Since Miss Yang is unwilling, then my Zhao clan will not force her. Clan Chief Yang, I think we should put the alliance on hold for now."

"Cheng'er, let's go!"

Zhang Xuri stood up, then waved his hand and led Zhao Cheng out of the council hall.

When Zhao Cheng passed by Qin Xin's place, he didn't forget to leave a message.

"Kid, I'll remember you. You just wait."

Seeing the sinister smile on Zhao Cheng's lips, Qin Xin replied dismissively, "Fine."

Seeing that Zhao Xuri and Zhao Cheng were about to leave, Yang Wei did not step forward to stop them. Instead, his face darkened and he sat back down in his chair, looking as if he had aged decades in an instant.

"Sigh, fine, you can go now!"

Yang Wei waved his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

Yang Feng walked over directly and then led Qin Xin and the other two slowly toward the outside of the Yang family mansion.
