"Is that really what you think?" Old Man Chang looked at Ye Xingchen with some surprise.
It has to be said that this idea is very bold and crazy.
It should be noted that Liu Sanqing held an extremely high position in the three provinces, and his Taoist skills were also the highest.
The remaining four major families all had to act according to his wishes, not to mention the Liu family's current influence in three provinces, even the Chang family had to give way to him.
It's almost unbelievable that Ye Xingchen actually wanted this guy to step down.
"I'm serious." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "I'm sure Elder Chang has already found out why I'm here and found Na Yuanzhen."
“He has a Vajra, which can open the ancestral tombs of the previous dynasty, and I must go straight into the mountain from the entrance of their ancestral tombs to find my father.”
“Na Yuanzhen…” Elder Chang’s gaze sharpened as he fell into deep thought.
In the three provinces, many people know about the three tigers of the Chang family, but very few know about Na Yuanzhen.
But Elder Chang knew Na Yuanzhen's background better than anyone else. Although this guy didn't show off in Jiyang, he was extremely powerful. Moreover, his ancestors were nobles of the previous dynasty and had a lot of things left over from the previous dynasty.
Moreover, this guy is fierce and eccentric, extremely ruthless towards his enemies, and has a highly skilled assassin under his command. Even the Chang family is unwilling to confront him directly.
"Is Elder Chang feeling troubled?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Kid, this is really a problem. When I contacted Old Zhou yesterday, he didn't tell me any of this," Old Chang said with a wry smile.
In the three provinces, he could be said to have a hundred followers, but he was unwilling to clash with the Na family, because Na Yuanzhen was a madman who was single-mindedly trying to restore the glory of his ancestors and even the Jin dynasty.
This guy... is like a wolf, the kind that comes along and a pack of wolves will tear you apart and won't let go.
Most importantly, this guy has a puppet in his service. Very few people in the entire three provinces have ever seen him. He is extremely cunning and manipulates everything behind the scenes.
“Elder Chang, you are the king of the underworld in the Three Provinces, but the Chang family is still lacking in strength compared to the worshippers of the Liu family and other powerful families,” Ye Xingchen said.
"This matter concerns Miss Liu's lifelong happiness and the future of the Chang family. Why don't you consider it?"
Old Chang tapped lightly on the table with one hand, pondering the meaning behind Ye Xingchen's words and carefully considering whether or not to agree to them.
After all, this is no small matter; it can have far-reaching consequences.
But if this matter is accomplished, then the family will be unrivaled in the three provinces, and his granddaughter will be free from worries.
After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a definite idea. Ye Xingchen wasn't in a hurry either. He poured himself a drink, tasted the wine, and ate the local specialties, seemingly confident that he had Old Man Chang figured out.
"You brat, you think I can't do anything to you?" Old Chang snorted. He was so old, and today he was actually outmaneuvered by a young man like Ye Xingchen. If word got out, it would damage his reputation.
"And what about me?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. "I have no roots in these three provinces, I only know Elder Chang."
"There are indeed many extraordinary people in these three provinces, but no one is willing to go against Liu Sanqing."
"We call it cooperation, but in reality it's mutual assistance. Mr. Chang, you should really think about this. It will benefit both of us."
After much deliberation, Elder Chang realized that Liu Qingmei's matter had always been a major worry for him. If his grandson's situation wasn't resolved, he feared he wouldn't be able to close his eyes in peace even after he passed away.
However, he was somewhat reluctant to confront Na Yuanzhen, a remnant of the previous dynasty.
This guy is a very mysterious figure, and he has a group of extremely powerful assassins under his command.
"Elder Chang, you don't need to worry about Na Yuanzhen's assassins," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "And you don't need to worry about Liu Sanqing's sorcery either. Since I dared to come to the three provinces, I will definitely make full preparations."
“I have several friends who are all experts. One of them is a disciple of the Taoist master Qiwu Mountain, who is proficient in the art of subduing demons.”
"I also have a friend, a Buddhist disciple, whose strength is comparable to mine. These two can come at a moment's notice."
"Really?" The old man was finally tempted.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xingchen is strong, but he is only one person after all.
If Ye Xingchen had called two helpers, the situation would have been different.
Moreover, birds of a feather flock together, and those who can hang out with Ye Xingchen are definitely not ordinary people.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Ye Xingchen smiled. The fact that the old man was willing to ask him a question meant that he was already interested. As long as the old man was interested, things would be easier to discuss next.
"Alright, I'll accept you as a friend." Old Chang gritted his teeth: "But you have to promise me one thing: no matter what, you must ensure Qingmei's safety."
"Don't worry, if I can't even do this, how can I be worthy of being the old man's ally?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Alright, it's settled then, but you have to do something for me," the old man said after thinking for a moment.
"Please speak, Elder Chang." Ye Xingchen nodded. "We're all on the same side now. If there's anything you can't solve, I'll step in and solve it for you."
"You have to take care of the Yu family for me." The old man slammed his hand on the table.
"The Yu family? Aren't you two on good terms?" Ye Xingchen feigned ignorance.
"Don't play dumb with me, kid. If neither of us could replace the other, we would have killed each other long ago." Old Chang gritted his teeth and said, "Old Yu is a terrible father. He has failed to raise his son properly. The Yu family martial arts clan has become a menace to the region."
“Especially his grandson, who has done a lot of things that have angered both heaven and man over the years. I couldn’t touch him before, but now that I can, I will get rid of him as soon as possible.”
"And he's the same. He's secretly supporting some forces and intends to replace the Chang family's position. He'll seize any opportunity to kill us. So I have to act before he does."
"Sigh, dealing with you old men is really too troublesome." Ye Xingchen was speechless: "On the surface you are like brothers, but in secret you wish you could strangle each other."
"That's normal, it's all about interests." Old Chang chuckled. "Besides, I, this old man, deal with things objectively, not personally. Old Yu has spoiled his grandson a bit too much over the years."
“Okay, but only if he falls into my hands. Otherwise, how can I find an excuse to kill his whole family?” Ye Xingchen asked.
"Here's what we'll do: let Qingmei show you around. He has a private club where he often goes, and he frequents various clubs. You'll get to know him then," said Old Chang.
