Yao Yuanxiong is sitting at his desk in the living room, writing a piece of text.
"Master, a message came from the Chu family, saying that Chu Minrui, the eldest elder of the Chu family, will bring people to the Yao family."
Not far ahead, his butler spoke up and said, "As for the purpose, it is said that he is here to discuss some important matters with the head of the family."
"event?"
Yao Yuanxiong frowned slightly and continued to write at his desk: "Is there anything major to discuss recently...is it about the Mohist family again?"
"The letter didn't mention it, it just said that you will know when the two parties meet."
Hearing this, Yao Yuanxiong put down the pen in his hand, sighed, and looked down at his handwriting. No matter how he looked at it, he was not satisfied.
"If you follow the trend with your pen, you will be able to write good calligraphy with great eloquence."
"But if it is wavering and lacks momentum, it will be written crookedly, which will make people upset."
Yao Yuanxiong looked at the words, as if he was asking the butler, but also as if he was asking himself: "Do you think the Chu family... will be the "power" of our Yao family?"
"I don't know...but no matter what, I will obey your arrangements."
The butler said respectfully.
He has had a close relationship with Yao Yuanxiong since he was a child.
After Yao Yuanxiong became the head of the family, he promoted him to his butler.
Therefore, he is called "loyal" to Yao Yuanxiong.
"It's not a good thing for you to be too close to me sometimes."
Yao Yuanxiong raised his head and glanced at him, smiling helplessly: "I didn't get to this position by relying on my own strength, so there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at me."
"And you will most likely be used by them to become the pair of eyes closest to me."
Hearing this, the butler's expression suddenly changed.
Just as he was about to explain something, Yao Yuanxiong interrupted him:
"But don't worry, I won't be suspicious of you and alienate you just because of this."
"I am just saying these words to remind you to be careful and not to be taken advantage of accidentally."
After listening to Yao Yuanxiong's words, the housekeeper perked up and said quickly: "Master, please rest assured that I will be extremely vigilant to prevent anyone from taking advantage of me!"
"Even if I die, I will not become the master's fault!"
"It's not as serious as you said."
Yao Yuanxiong couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said:
"What has Yuhan been doing recently?"
As Yao Yuhan is the main representative of the faction of the Yao family that is close to the Mo family, Yao Yuanxiong will always pay attention to her movements.
"It seems that I have been practicing silently these past few days."
The butler answered truthfully.
"Are you practicing...I don't know if the Lu family will come over to propose marriage..."
Yao Yuanxiong thought for a moment, shook his head, and walked out of the room immediately: "Please help me throw away that calligraphy. I'll go take a look at Yuhan."
…
Although Yao Yuhan is a child of the Yao family, but now that her own faction is not allowed to fight, her environment is naturally not as good as that of a child of another faction.
The courtyard where she lives is countless times drab and shabby compared to Yao Yuanxiong's.
But she didn't care, and seemed to be still concentrating on practicing in the open space in the courtyard.
At this moment, she was holding a long sword. The sword was opened and closed, and there was a faint aura of courage to move forward.
And between her eyebrows, there was less weakness and more heroism.
I don’t know if the drastic changes that happened to the Yu family that day gave her some stimulation, causing her to concentrate on practicing the art of swordsmanship.
Yao Yuanxiong stood quietly on the wall nearby without disturbing her.
In fact, the main weapon of the Yao family is the knife.
A long time ago, everyone in the Yao family practiced swordsmanship, and their whole bodies were enveloped by a domineering and unparalleled sword power.
That was also the time when the Yao family was at its peak.
Among the eight major inheritance families, except for the rankings of the top three, which have almost remained unchanged, the rankings of the bottom five have all changed.
In the history of the fairy world, the Yao family once got rid of the title of Lao Ba and ranked fifth among the eight inheritance families!
It's a pity that that peak period did not last long.
After that, the Yao family became increasingly weak, and its ranking returned from fifth place to its former eighth place, which continues to this day.
Today, among the Yao family, only the elders of Yao Yuhan's faction are still practicing the art of swordsmanship.
Even among the younger generation who belong to the same faction as Yao Yuhan, very few people practice the art of swordsmanship.
Yao Yuhan himself only started to practice swordsmanship recently.
The reason for this phenomenon is that the Yao family's secret realm of inheritance is the most demanding on sword cultivators.
The better you practice in the art of swordsmanship, the more severely you will be targeted in the secret realm of inheritance.
Therefore, in order to successfully pass through the secret realm of inheritance, many people gave up the Dao of the Sword and began to practice other Dao powers.
The reason is naturally to make it easier to obtain inheritance.
After a while, Yao Yuhan practiced so much that a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.
She was about to take a rest, but when she turned around, she saw Yao Yuanxiong standing on the wall.
Yao Yuhan was stunned for a moment, then quickly sheathed the knife and saluted Yao Yuanxiong: "Yuhan has met the master of the family."
"Haha, you are taking a break, and I also have something to say to you."
Yao Yuanxiong chuckled, fell down from the wall, and walked towards Yao Yuhan.
Yao Yuhan nodded and welcomed him to a stone table beside the open space.
She first poured a glass of water for Yao Yuanxiong, and then poured a glass of water for herself.
Then he asked: "The master of the house came to my place to ask something?"
"Hahaha, it's nothing, I just wanted to see how you are doing lately."
Yao Yuanxiong glanced at the long knife in her hand.
It looks ordinary, not like a magic weapon.
"Do you use this kind of knife to practice?"
Yao Yuanxiong asked curiously.
"Um."
Yao Yuhan glanced at the knife, nodded, and said:
"Someone told me that if you want to regain your original intention of practicing swordsmanship, the best way is to take back the knife you held when you first came into contact with the power of swordsmanship."
Yao Yuhan said: "It's not that I didn't practice swordsmanship from the beginning, but I took this sword and tried to practice it for a while under the guidance of the second elder and the others when I was a child."
"Later, I gave up because I couldn't endure the hardship."
As he spoke, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Yao Yuhan's face: "Giving up so easily, this kind of cowardly character is completely opposite to brother Jun Ming."
She knew very well that even when the Mo family was weak, Mo Junming never gave up.
In comparison, she felt that she was not worthy of Mo Junming.
"It's okay. I believe that one day you will successfully regain your original intention of practicing swordsmanship and become worthy of your brother Jun Ming."
Hearing this, Yao Yuhan couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
This was the first time she saw Yao Yuanxiong showing such a positive attitude towards the Mo family.
"Haha, don't look at me like that."
Yao Yuanxiong smiled and said, looking around: "The person who recently guided you to practice swordsmanship is Young Master Ye?"
"?!"
Hearing this, Yao Yuhan's expression suddenly changed and he immediately stood up from the stone chair.
Just when she was about to deny it, Ye Qingchen's voice came into her ears.
"It's okay, no need to be nervous."
The voice fell,
Ye Qingchen's figure appeared in the open space.
He waved his hand, and a layer of [mimetic fog] appeared over the courtyard, simulating the sight and atmosphere of the deserted place.
"It's a really good idea."
Seeing such methods with his own eyes, Yao Yuanxiong couldn't help but be amazed.
"Is this how you took Mo Honghai and the others to escape from the Yu family that day?"
"That's right."
Ye Qingchen passed it by in a vague sentence.
It can hide the breath and figure in full view of the public and simulate an environment with no one around, but it requires the use of the two martial arts skills of [Spiritual Mist Array] and [Mimetic Fog].
Although he had successfully combined these two martial arts very early on, he could not maintain that effect while moving at high speed.
Therefore, at that time, he could only use two major martial arts skills at the same time, which was very costly for him.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ye to come to my Yao family today. Our Yao family is really in full bloom."
Yao Yuanxiong said with a genuine smile, as if he regarded Ye Qingchen as one of the most distinguished guests and treated him with the most respect.
"Master Yao, you must be able to guess some of the purpose of my coming here today, right?"
Ye Qingchen walked to the stone table, sat down on his own, and said straight to the point:
"I came here this time just hoping to gain support from the Yao family."
"!!"
Yao Yuhan on the side was startled.
Doesn't he know that Yao Yuanxiong was supported by the faction within the Yao family that advocates supporting the Chu family?
By stating his purpose so openly, aren't you afraid that Yao Yuanxiong will fall out?
However, what she didn't expect was that Yao Yuanxiong's face was still full of a smile.
"Hahaha, Mr. Ye is really quite straightforward."
"Before talking about this matter, I would like to ask Mr. Ye first, apart from the Mo family, are there any other forces under your command?"
Yao Yuanxiong asked aloud, his eyes seemed to be smiling, but there was a slight sense of oppression in his eyes.
"Not many, just one."
Ye Qingchen also smiled in response: "The dust returns to the alliance."
"?!"
Yao Yuanxiong was slightly startled, but when he thought of the name of this force, he felt relieved again: "Sure enough, the Chengui Alliance is indeed your force."
Yao Yuanxiong also has a relatively good understanding of the pattern outside the realm of the heart.
The Dust Return Alliance has emerged recently and has connected a super huge force in three continents.
Although the overall strength is not as good as the five major sects, in terms of scale, it exceeds the five major sects!
Not only that, the development potential is also huge!
If Ye Qingchen is really from the Chen Gui Alliance behind him, then coupled with the Mo family, he will have the confidence to at least fight against the five major sects!
Moreover, if Ye Qingchen possesses Origin Power, if he can build a blessed cultivation place similar to the "Origin Qi Immortal Pond" for the Chen Return Alliance, the development speed of the Chen Return Alliance will be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Yao Yuanxiong narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked:
"Master Ye, if I say that I am sure that the Yao family will strongly support you...but the condition is that you need to allocate a very small part of your source power, then will you do it?"
