The seven Young Lords and Young Ladies were gathered with Ye Xin Rou sitting at the head of the table; she spoke with authority and was clearly organized, providing accurate analysis of their current predicament and causing all of the others to raise their evaluations of her.
This young woman wasnβt just a pretty face who knew how to sweet talk others like some of them had thought.
When she sat in a position of authority, she was able to quickly adjust her mentality and speak in a manner consistent with her identity.
After stating her idea, the other six couldnβt help staring at her curiously.
βSurprise attack force?β Gao Rang Feng parroted, βWhat kind of surprise attack force?β
Ye Xin Rou answered with a smile, βA surprise that the Little Lord couldnβt possibly anticipate!β
Gao Rang Fengβs brow furrowed, Ye Xin Rou keeping them guessing made him feel slightly disgruntled, βExplain what you mean specifically.β
Ye Xin Rou giggled and turned her gaze towards Qiu Yi Meng, sweetly saying, βElder Sister Qiu is no doubt the biggest surprise-attack force when it comes to the Little Lord.β
Hearing this, Qiu Yi Meng immediately glared towards Ye Xin Rou.
Huo Xing Chen also narrowed his eyes and snorted.
The other Young Lords wore awkward expressions as all of them instantly understood what Ye Xin Rou was thinking.
βElder Sister Qiu has been working with the Little Lord since the start of the Inheritance War and was akin to his right arm, Iβm afraid no one is clearer about the situation inside his house that she is. Also, Elder Sister Qiu only left Yang Kaiβs mansion this morning. No matter how sharp the Little Lord is, do you think he would be able to anticipate that after less than a day of time she would become his enemy and bring people to attack him?β
βYe Xin Rou, you better carefully consider what youβre talking about.β Huo Xing Chen stared at her with a sullen expression as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
In response, Ye Xin Rou simply snorted, βYoung Lord Huo, what do you mean by this? What I am saying, of course I am clear about. Rather, your attitudeβ¦ Are you perhaps dissatisfied with my plan?β
Huo Xing Chen brushed off her pointed words with a sneer.
βDonβt forget, right now I am representing Second Young Lord! Refusing to accept my orders is akin to refusing Second Young Lordβs commands. If this is how you plan on acting, I have the right to ask you to leave this house. A single mouse dropping can ruin a pot of porridge. Second Young Lordβs mansion canβt afford to keep any bad seeds around.β Ye Xin Rou said viciously as she wore a sneer on her face.
Huo Xing Chenβs expression twitched and wanted nothing more than to immediately stand up and leave, but remembering the threat his father had made to him before he left, he somehow managed to press down the anger in his heart.
His mouth moved constantly but no sound emerged from it, seemingly silently cursing.
Ye Xin Rou once again smiled warmly and continued, βActually, Junior Sister came up with this proposal after considering many things. What Iβve mentioned is just one of them.β
βWhat other considerations?β Gao Rang Feng asked. He suddenly discovered that over the course of the Inheritance War, Ye Xin Rou had experienced a terrifying amount of growth. Before now, she wasnβt as insightful or manipulative, nor were her thoughts so sharp and decisive.
Probably after staying with the Second Young Lord for a long time, she had gradually been influenced by his personality.
βFrom the previous incident when the Little Lord killed Nan Sheng and Xiang Chu, it is apparent Yang Kai places great importance on his friends. Elder Sister Qiu is also his friend. Given the Little Lordβs personality, he shouldnβt be able to treat Elder Sister Qiu ruthlessly, and I want to take advantage of this point.β
βHe is indeed such a man.β Kang Zhan nodded lightly, thinking that Ye Xin Rouβs analysis was reasonable.
Last time, simply because Nan Sheng and Xiang Chu, those two idiots, injured a disciple from High Heaven Pavilion, they were chased down by Yang Kai for over three thousand kilometers and even after they sought refuge in Yang Zhaoβs mansion they didnβt escape from death.
Qiu Yi Meng and Yang Kai had been together for so long, sharing both joy and sorrow. Qiu Yi Meng had also made many great contributions to Yang Kaiβs campaign during the Inheritance War; it wouldnβt be strange for him to not want to fight with her.
βAs such, if Elder Sister Qiu is the one to go, it might be possible to defeat the Little Lord without any further bloodshed.β Ye Xin Rou looked at Qiu Yi Meng with a smile and asked, βElder Sister Qiu, what do you think?β β
Qiu Yi Mengβs expression was desolate as she turned her eyes away and stared off into the distance and said in a flat tone, βYour thoughts are too simple. While itβs true Yang Kai cares about friendship, he is also a very selfish person! If a conflict erupts between us, he will undoubtedly not hesitate to maintain his own interests.β
Ye Xin Rou wore a surprised look, βElder Sister Qiu really understands the Little Lord, but I still believe this plan has a good chance of success. How can you know it wonβt succeed unless you try?β
Saying so, her eyes flashed a ruthless light. Obviously, until Qiu Yi Meng agreed she would not give up.
βFine.β Qiu Yi Meng suddenly smiled, βSince Junior Sister Ye is so certain, Elder Sister will listen to you once and see if I can defeat Yang Kai by myself.β
βElder Sister is really a confident woman; Junior Sister is filled with respect.β
βMany thanks. Junior Sisterβs care in this matter, Elder Sister will certainly remember.β Qiu Yi Meng smiled brilliantly.
Ye Xin Rou also smiled back at her, βThereβs no need for such politeness between us sister. A few days ago, Junior Sister received much from Elder Sister, heheheβ¦ Elder Sisterβs care, Junior Sister will not forget for the rest of her life.β
The hallβs temperature suddenly dropped as the atmosphere became tense.
Gao Rang Feng, Kang Zhan and all the others couldnβt help lowering their heads and trembling.
None of them knew what these two young women were talking about, but it was obvious something happened between them recently that forged a deep grudge.
A few days ago, Ye Xin Rou had snuck into Yang Kaiβs house to seduce him, but as a result, Yang Kai had stripped her naked and abandoned her inside a secluded room. At the time, Qiu Yi Meng was present, but instead of helping her, she had posted guards at her door and trapped her inside.
Ye Xin Rou was imprisoned for three days in the state she was born in.
It wasnβt until three days later that Qiu Yi Meng finally sent a maid to her with a change of clothesβ¦
How could Ye Xin Rou forget this shameful insult? Now that she had assumed command of the seven-family force, the first thing she sought to do was find a way to embarrass Qiu Yi Meng. This was a blatant case of mixing public and private affairs, but her excuses and methods were actually quite brilliant, not giving Qiu Yi Meng any legitimate reason to refuse, allowing the former to lead her around by the nose.
βThen I will entrust Elder Sister with leading our efforts and wish her a swift victory.β
βElder Sister will take advantage of Junior Sisterβs auspicious words.β
βItβs best to act swiftly, letβs set off now.β Ye Xin Rou said.
βNow?β The Young Lords couldnβt help asking in surprise, none of them having expected Ye Xin Rou to act so urgently.
βIf we strike tonight while the Little Lord is still unprepared perhaps we can achieve twice the results with half the effort.β Ye Xin Rou smiled coldly.
βGood, Elder Sister will set out immediately.β Qiu Yi Meng laughed before standing up and walking out.
βQiu Yi Mengβ¦β Huo Xing Chen stood up and shouted, but Qiu Yi Meng didnβt even glance back. As she walked away, all he could so was slowly shake his head.
After Qiu Yi Meng left, Huo Xing Chen turned around and glared coldly at Ye Xin Rou, callously saying, βLittle tramp, if something unexpected happens to Qiu Yi Meng, this Young Master swears he will sell you to the cheapest, filthiest brothel so that any beggar off the street can taste your beauty and make sure that in less than three months youβll become a pile of meat so rotten even the wild dogs will refuse to come near you!β
A cold light flashed past Ye Xin Rouβs eyes but surprisingly she didnβt get angry, instead just giggling charmingly, βArenβt Young Lord Huoβs worries superfluous? How could Elder Sister Qiu suffer anything unexpected? Do you really think Little Lord will attack her? If he does, heβll just be confirming he has fallen to the Devilβs Practices, unable to recognize his friends or family.β
After a short pause, she followed up, βBut since Young Lord Huo is so worried, letβs follow her and observe, just in case.β
Kang Zhan and Gao Rang Feng both nodded their heads and felt that Ye Xin Rouβs decision was correct.
None of them believed Qiu Yi Meng would really defeat Yang Kai. Even if he placed a heavy emphasis on sentiment, he wasnβt a fool, how could he just give up without a fight?
But if all of them were to set out, even if Yang Kai fought back, they could immediately provide assistance.
The conversation over, all of them stood up and walked out.
The moon floated high in the star-studded night sky, bathing all of War City in its silvery glow.
Inside Yang Kaiβs compound, all the remaining cultivators had calmed down from the impact of Qiu Yi Meng and Huo Xing Chen leaving.
The advantage they held in terms of strength and manpower was still enormous, so even without Qiu Yi Meng and Huo Xing Chen, all of Yang Kaiβs allies felt he would inevitably win the Inheritance War.
The only thing that worried them somewhat was what Yang Kai had said earlier that day about possibly becoming enemies off the Eight Great Families.
After all, many of them were members of the younger generation, who among them wanted to openly oppose the Eight Great Families? That was not an issue for them, but also one for the Sects and families they represented.
In the middle of the night, the house was eerily quiet.
Yang Kai, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light quickly flashing across them.
Hurriedly getting up, he quickly walked outside.
As soon as he opened his door, a burst or rustling clothes reached his ear and in the next moment, Ying Jiu, Old Demon, and Tang Yu Xian appeared in front of him.
βLittle Lordβ¦β Tang Yu Xian called out.
βI know,β Yang Kaiβs expression became serious, βCall everyone.β
Tang Yu Xian quickly released her Divine Sense across the entire mansion. Feeling this burst of Spiritual Energy and recognizing what it meant, all the forces inside the house quickly assembled.
βHmph!β A light snort came from nearby and a vague figure slowly emerged out of thin air, revealing the light blue haired Shui Ling.
Ying Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Even until now, he still had a sense of dread when it came to this mysteriously appearing and disappearing young lady.
So young, yet already an Immortal Ascension Boundary Eighth Stage master and possessing a special constitution; if it was one on one, Ying Jiu estimated she was not his opponent, but if she wanted to escape from him, even if he activated his Mad Tyrant Blood Skill, he had no confidence in forcing her to remain.
βIt seems like Qiu Yi Meng is the one coming.β Shui Ling sighed faintly, βItβs a pity, I quite liked her. Yang Kai, how could you and her have reached this point?β
βI donβt know, donβt ask me.β Yang Kai spat in annoyance.
With Shui Ling having realized the identity of the approaching people, how could Yang Kai not have noticed?
Whatβs more, the one leading this group was actually Qiu Yi Meng, who had only left this morning!
Accompanying her were more than twenty masters each of them at or above the Immortal Ascension Boundary Sixth Stage. Besides Qiu Yi Meng whose aura was quiet, everyone else was giving off a clear murderous intent, apparently not holding any favourable intentions towards the people inside Yang Kaiβs mansion.
Yang Kai didnβt think Qiu Yi Meng was behind this action. After being together with her for so long, Yang Kai knew her better than that. What kind of personality she had, Yang Kai understood best, but her leading people towards his mansion was also an indisputable fact.
βLetβs go out and have a look.β Yang Kai coldly snorted, taking the lead and walking out.
Ying Jiu, Tang Yu Xian, and Old Demon quickly followed after him.
A moment later, a small number of people had gathered outside the main entrance and more cultivators from inside the house were continuously rushing out, organizing themselves in an orderly fashion as they assembled together with Yang Kai.
