The private room of Zuimenglou.
There were only two people in the private room, Ye Suifeng and Ye Suibao.
Originally, Ye Suifeng planned to come alone, but Suiyun and the others insisted on bringing a few more people, saying that it would make the scene more presentable.
Finally, he sent Ye Suibao, who had the highest level of cultivation, to serve as his bodyguard.
In the late Jindan stage, one can serve as a bodyguard for those who have survived the heavenly tribulation, but I don’t know what he can protect.
"I said, it was the Li family and the Tang family who invited us, how come we are the ones waiting for them now?" Ye Suifeng said.
Everyone has arrived, but the host hasn't come yet.
It's simply not taking him seriously.
"Brother, those two families have always been like this, looking down on us!" Ye Suibao spoke in a hoarse voice, and it seemed that he was even angrier than Ye Suifeng.
Seeing that he was about to smash the table, Ye Suifeng quickly stopped him: "Old Five, don't be so angry."
"It's never too late to wait until they get here."
Ye Suibao: ???
At this time, the door finally opened, and two figures walked in front, one fat and one thin. Behind each of them was a graceful and charming young woman.
Ye Suifeng took a look and found that the two people in front were both in the Jindan stage, and the four women behind him were all in the Jindan stage, but their aura was rather weak, and it was obvious that it was forced up by elixirs.
Tsk tsk, look at the cards they have.
Look at me, a big old man with a stubble on his face, it’s obvious who is better.
"I'm so sorry. I've kept you waiting for so long, Brother Ye." The fat middle-aged man said with a smile.
Ye Suifeng glanced at him.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged fat man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Ye Suifeng didn't look like he was joking, his eyes twitched slightly and he smiled, "Brother Ye is really good at joking."
"Brother, he is the head of the Li family, Li Liusu." Ye Suibao said from the side.
Ye Suifeng let out an "oh".
He did not intend to cause trouble, but he really did not know the heads of the Li and Tang families.
There were pictures and information about the two of them at home, but he was too lazy to look at them.
"Then you are Tang Zheng?" Ye Suifeng turned to the other person.
Tang Zheng snorted slightly, said nothing, and sat down with his sleeves swung.
Faced with this reaction, Ye Suibao's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted, "Hey, my brother is talking to you!"
Tang Zheng's face darkened slightly and he stared at Ye Suibao as if he was offended.
"Haha, Master Wu's personality is still as straightforward as ever."
"Master Tang, don't blame me. Fifth Master has always been like this, impulsive. Haha." Li Liusu tried to smooth things over.
Tang Zheng snorted again and did not continue the topic.
Ye Suifeng just sat aside and watched their performance leisurely.
In just a few minutes, he understood some things.
In Yunxiao City, the Tang family has the strongest strength and foundation. This Li Liusu obviously wants to have a good relationship with the Tang family and suppress the Ye family in secret.
This class is full of human relationships, intrigues and schemes.
Obviously, Li Liusu is familiar with this.
But Ye Suifeng was not interested at all.
"What's the matter that you invited me here today?" Ye Suifeng asked directly.
Li Liusu smiled and said, "Haha, no hurry, no hurry, let's serve the food first. Let me tell you, the food at Zuimenglou is absolutely amazing..."
"No need." Ye Suifeng stopped his false enthusiasm and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me now. I'm busy and don't have that much time."
Li Liusu was choked for a moment.
Isn't it basic etiquette and protocol to discuss things at the dinner table?
Why does the head of the Ye family act like a fool?
"Ye Suifeng, right?"
At this time, Tang Zheng finally spoke. He looked down at Ye Suifeng and said, "Fourth-generation Patriarch of the Ye Family, you are the most interesting person I have ever met."
As soon as Tang Zheng opened his mouth, he talked about the super senior and even dragged the three previous generations of the Ye family into it.
As if he was so awesome.
"I don't mean anything."
Ye Suifeng said: "If you have something to say, please tell us now. Don't waste everyone's time."
There was no need for him to be angry with the two people in front of him.
After a moment of silence, Li Liusu laughed and said, "If that's the case, I'll just say it straight."
"Brother Ye, has your Ye family been a little too active on the border recently?"
Ye Suifeng raised his eyebrows. It was indeed because of this matter.
"Yes, very active." Ye Suifeng admitted generously.
Li Liusu paused and said, "Since you don't deny it, do you have to give me and Brother Tang an explanation?"
Ye Suifeng shook his head, looking puzzled: "My Ye family is active in the border area. Does it have anything to do with you? Why should I explain it to you?"
"Forehead..."
Li Liusu opened his mouth and was choked by these words for a moment.
"Of course it is related! Don't you know that your Ye family has already extended their hands to the territories of the Li and Tang families?"
"I know."
"And you still say it's okay!" Li Liusu was so crazy that he couldn't help but raise his voice.
This Ye Suifeng, why does he look so weird? His words are so annoying.
He was getting so angry.
However, Ye Suifeng still looked indifferent.
He drank his tea slowly and said leisurely, "So what?"
Li Liusu's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said in a deep voice: "Ye Suifeng, are you making fun of me and Brother Tang?"
"I'm afraid you can't bear the wrath of the two big families!"
Seeing Li Liusu finally take off his disguise and reveal his fangs, Ye Suifeng waved his hands and said, "Let me ask you first, what did our Ye family do at the border?"
Li Liusu was startled and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid in front of me?"
"You, the Ye family, took advantage of this Gaoling beast tide and used various means to recruit casual cultivators from the public, causing chaos in our two families' territories. They all ran to your side!"
"What do you want to do? Recruit soldiers? Challenge the Li and Tang families?"
Looking at Li Liusu who was full of questions, Ye Suifeng shook his head and asked: "Let me ask you again, what methods did we use?"
"Never mind, let me tell you."
"As soon as the beast tide occurred, we dispatched a large number of manpower to help the monks on the border resist the rampant monsters."
"Then, we invested a lot of resources to provide free medical treatment to the monks who were injured in the beast tide."
"Then, we paid generous rewards to the independent cultivators, and we all worked together to survive this fierce beast tide."
"Let me ask you, which of these so-called methods violates the Yunxiao Agreement?"
In order to coexist, the three major families in Yunxiao City once established a code called the Yunxiao Agreement.
The treaties in the code were all formulated to avoid serious conflicts among the three major families.
What the Ye family is doing now does not violate the Yunxiao Agreement.
Perhaps no one at that time would have thought that someone would be so wasteful as to set his sights on the large number of independent cultivators.
"I am the most law-abiding person."
"So, since I didn't break the rules, why should I give you an explanation?" Ye Suifeng asked.
Li Liusu and Tang Zheng both had gloomy faces.
This Ye Suifeng looks like he is incapable of talking.
The big family is not a group of children. How can a piece of paper decide everything?
"Ye Suifeng, if you really insist on this idea, then we can't talk any further." Li Liusu said in a deep voice.
Ye Suifeng stood up.
"Difficult to talk about?"
"Then don't talk about it~"
He resisted the urge to flip the table over and said, "This is how we in the Ye family do things."
"If you have the ability, invest resources and let those independent cultivators return voluntarily. If you don't have money, I can lend you money."
"In short, I am following the rules. If someone breaks the rules and uses shady or dangerous tactics, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Okay, that's it, you guys take your time eating."
After saying that, Ye Suifeng called Sui Bao and left the private room directly.
Li Liusu looked grimly as he looked at Tang Zheng with a ruthless look in his eyes.
But Tang Zheng shook his head slightly.
"Forget it. We all know how powerful the Ye family is. They won't cause any trouble."
"I just don't believe that the Ye family has enough spirit stones to feed that group of bottomless pit-like cultivators?" Tang Zheng said.
Li Liusu sighed: "I know."
"But he keeps doing this. He's such a nasty person."
Tang Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "If you can't bear small things, you will mess up big things."
"Look at that Ye Suifeng, he is young and foolish. The Ye family is courting death by making him the head of the family."
"The battle of Yunxiao City will begin soon. By then... the Ye family will either have to change the head of the family or just leave here."
Li Liusu was stunned for a moment and said, "But the Yunxiao Agreement..."
“The agreement is dead.”
Tang Zheng's eyes were calm as he said calmly, "For the strong, there is no such thing as breaking an agreement."
“That’s just changing the rules.”
