Chapter 156: Solve Your Own Matters, Don't Trouble Others
But no matter how you put it, even if the four great hermit clans don't have any strong ones in the innate realm, they do have quite a few masters of internal energy. They can catch a large number of them, and there are also some top-level master-level figures.
In short, the Yin family possesses frighteningly powerful military force, and is a dominant presence in the ancient martial arts world, just like the status of the five major families in the secular world, but most people are unaware of their existence.
In the secular world, every successful ancient warrior is equivalent to a noble, and masters who have reached the level of internal strength are celebrities among the nobles, and all forces are vying to win over them.
If you can reach cooperation with an ancient martial arts family, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to controlling one of the most elite troops. Who wouldn't want to?
No matter it is the five major families or the top ten wealthy families, they all want it!
As long as there is an opportunity, they will spare no effort to win over and make friends, join forces with powerful people, and be proud of the world.
However, whether they are the Four Great Hermits or the Five Great Sects, they all abide by certain rules, aloof from outsiders, and do not interfere in worldly affairs. No matter how hard others try to recruit them, they seem to be indifferent.
It was rare to meet an ancient warrior named Ye, who was suspected to be a descendant of the Ye clan of Bashan. Xu Miaoyan naturally wanted to make friends, but she didn't expect that the other person just happened to be named Ye and was not the Ye clan she had in mind.
However, even if he was not from the Bashan Ye clan, he was still worth wooing. After all, such a young ancient warrior was very skilled and had great potential, which was enough to make Xu Miaoyan's heart flutter.
As for the other party beating someone in the Peach Blossom Garden and losing the owner's face, whether such a thing is big or small, it is entirely up to Xu Miaoyan herself.
If Ye Xingyu accepts the Xu family's wooing or even solicitation, it won't be a problem at all; but if he has an arrogant attitude and refuses forcefully, Xu Miaoyan will not break up on the spot.
In Xu Miaoyan's view, the other party has strength and pride, and he is the son-in-law of the Lin family, so he still needs to give him some face.
So, Xu Miaoyan said: "Master Ye is very skilled. Even if he is not from a famous family, he is still a hero of the world. I wonder if you have time to talk to me?"
Ye Xingyu immediately replied: "Let's try another day! It's not very convenient today!"
He didn't want to have much to do with the Xu family, so it was a tactful rejection.
But Xu Miaoyan went on to say: "I really hope to become friends with Mr. Ye. If I have time, I will invite you to visit the Xu family. As for the Yan family, there is no need to worry. They do not dare to deal with guests of the Xu family."
This sentence is very clever and expresses at least two meanings.
First, Xu Miaoyan extended an olive branch, hoping that Ye Xingyu would accept it.
Second, the Xu family can protect Ye Xingyu from revenge from the Yan family.
In fact, there is a third meaning that has not been explained clearly, but it is also included in the second meaning. Ye Xingyu has formed a big feud with Yan Shaoze this time. If he does not have a strong ally or backer, it will definitely be very troublesome, and it is
Big trouble.
But Ye Xingyu waved his hands nonchalantly: "I'll handle my matter myself! It's not a good idea to bother others!"
This was actually a rejection in disguise. It was impossible for him to seek asylum from the Xu family in order to escape revenge from the Yan family.
To others, the five major families are absolutely huge, but in Ye Xingyu's eyes, they are nothing.
After being declined twice, Xu Miaoyan did not force herself any more, and still maintained a charming smile, sincerely expressing her attitude: "Whether it is the Peach Blossom Spring or the Xu Family, the door will always be open for you, and you are welcome to come as a guest at any time!"
Ye Xingyu also smiled and responded politely: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Then, he greeted Jiang Xu, said "goodbye" to Xu Miaoyan, and left along the same way he came.
When Ye Xingyu's back completely disappeared, the Peach Blossom Garden regained its vitality. Suddenly, people were everywhere and there was a lot of discussion.
The origin of this new son-in-law of the Lin family has become a hot topic of discussion among many guests.
He not only stole Huo Qingshu's favorite object, but also slapped Yan Shaoze in the face. Is he a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or does he have an unknown and powerful backing?
These are all mysteries, so there are all kinds of wild guesses. Some people even send messages to relatives and friends, informing them to go to the Xijingshan Rain Viewing Terrace at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to watch the show.
As the host, Xu Miaoyan had quietly left. As she walked, she asked the fat man with a white face beside her: "Uncle Tian, what do you think of this young man named Ye?"
The person next to her is Tianqiu, who is worshiped by the Xu family. Like Ji Changxian, he is an ancient warrior at the level of internal energy. He looks like he is only in his thirties, but is actually nearly fifty. He is one of the five masters in charge of the Xu family.
, and Xu Miaoyan's father Xu Xuedao are sworn brothers.
Tian Qiu pondered for a moment and then gave his answer: "This man has a very special temperament. I can't tell what his character is yet, but there is no doubt that he is very strong! At his age, he is very capable.
It's rare for such a master to appear, so I suspect that he is from the Ye family, but I just don't want to admit it."
Xu Miaoyan agreed: "I also have some doubts. Since he dares to attack Yan Shaoze, he must have someone to rely on. He is probably from the Bashan Ye clan."
Tian Qiu nodded: "It is true that ordinary people cannot teach such young masters, but the four major hermit clans and the five major sects can."
"If it is really the Bashan Yes clan, then the Lin family will make a lot of money!" Xu Miaoyan said leisurely, looking forward to it.
In order to win over the Yin family, the powerful and wealthy families in the secular world have used various means, including marriage, but so far, none of them have succeeded and they have all been rejected.
The Xu family also hopes to win over a world-famous ancient martial arts family, such as the Bashan Yes family or the Shuzhong Tang family, so that the Xu family's reputation and strength can stand out among the five major families, leaving the other four families behind.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xu Miaoyan recovered her thoughts and asked again: "Uncle Tian, what do you think the outcome of tomorrow's battle will be?"
Tian Qiu thought for a while and replied seriously: "Lao Ji was blinded by anger and underestimated his opponent. He might be in trouble!"
Xu Miaoyan narrowed her eyes and chuckled: "I hope so, we can also join in the fun tomorrow."
The five major families are all dignitaries in the imperial capital. They are only in harmony with each other on the surface, but secretly they are the most direct competitors. Everyone wants to become the first family and trample the other four families under their feet.
The stronger the enemies of the Yan family, the happier the Xu family will be. If Ye Xingyu can defeat Ji Changxian in tomorrow's life and death competition, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the reputation of the Yan family, which will be beneficial to the other four families.
In a sense, the opponent's enemy can become one's friend, so Xu Miaoyan spared no effort to win over Ye Xingyu. Even if he does not join the Xu family, just becoming a friend will be of great benefit to the Xu family.
