If this statement had been made by Old Zhu more than a week ago, Ouyang Shuo would never have believed that anyone would dare to challenge the Dongfang clan.
But now, the man who annihilated the Jiang clan with his own power stood before him!
All the impossibilities that everyone had imagined were realized one by one by this man named Ren Yuanhao.
Ouyang Shuo thought of Rui'er at this moment, as if she were still trotting obediently by Ren Yuanhao's side, her eyes holding nothing but this idol-like man.
"If Rui'er were here, she would undoubtedly follow this young man named Ren unconditionally, wouldn't she?"
Just then, Ouyang Shuo felt his already graying hair gently stirred by the wind, just like Rui'er used to play with his hair when she was little. His eyes couldn't help but redden, and his expression changed abruptly, as if the formidable lion that once overlooked the world, Ouyang Shuo, had returned decades ago!
"Ren Yuanhao, what are your chances of winning?"
Ren Yuanhao knew very well that businessmen placed great importance on risk probability, and also that the greater the risk, the greater the profit. So, he replied indifferently, "There are no chances."
"Heh, you clever小子, you really know how to capture the hearts of us businessmen. The rate of return is too high. How can my Ouyang family let you other families eat up this entire pie?"
After speaking, Ouyang Shuo, ignoring the dissuasion of the two people beside him, walked directly to Ren Yuanhao and Old Zhu, extending his withered hand covered with age spots.
"Gentlemen, this is the biggest gamble I have ever made in my life. Are you two not going to shake hands with this old man?"
"It would be our pleasure."
Old Zhu and Ren Yuanhao extended their hands one after another, and the alliance of the three major clans was thus officially formed.
However, Ren Yuanhao could not imagine the chaotic situation that the Ji clan was currently in.
...
Ji Clan, Inner Courtyard.
"Let go of me! You rebels! Who is the boss here, this surname Mo or me?"
Ji Fu struggled desperately, trying to break free from the grasp of two middle-aged men.
"My apologies, we listen to no one's orders. The family head said before he left that if Miss misbehaves and runs away again, we have the right to impose detention."
These two were the twin brothers known as the second greatest experts in the Ji clan, named Ji Feng and Ji Hai by Ji Xueyan.
These two were also ability users. However, their abilities were split in two while they were in the womb. That is to say, there was only one ability, which would be seized by either one of them. But the ability core achieved a miraculous and subtle balance in the womb, allowing both of them to simultaneously obtain their innate abilities at birth. However, due to the incompleteness of the core, the two could only use their abilities when they were within a certain distance of each other.
This type of ability user is an extremely rare existence, known as twin ability users. Because one ability core shared the true qi and internal energy in both their bodies, their power was far greater than that of ordinary ability users, and if they were in perfect sync, their power would increase exponentially.
However, despite the many advantages of twin ability users, their drawbacks were also extremely obvious: once the two separated beyond a certain distance, they would be no different from ordinary people.
At this moment, Mo Yunfei stood behind them with a poker face, while Ji Fu was like a wild mother tiger.
"Who says I ran away from home? I was kidnapped by that guy! I'm so wrongly accused!"
Ji Fu never expected her mother to lay down such inhumane orders and rules. At the same time, she was extremely worried about her mother, and with Mo Yunfei lingering here, it seemed difficult to convene the family retainers for discussions.
Ji Feng spoke, "Miss is intelligent and shrewd, how can she not understand such a simple truth?"
"What truth? You tell me!"
Ji Hai replied, "I have never seen a hostage who was kidnapped but could still jump around and run back on their own, so~"
"Pah, pah, pah! That's because I'm skilled in martial arts! Do you two not want me to come back? Hmph, I've always called you uncles, and it was all for naught!"
Ji Fu glared at the two of them, but the more she acted out, the more Mo Yunfei enjoyed watching her, his mind filled with countless dirty and lewd images.
"According to Young Master Mo, Miss, you rushed into that boy's embrace." Ji Hai said with a sly smile, a stark contrast to Ji Feng's solemn expression.
Ji Fu shot Mo Yunfei a glare, "Good for you, surname Mo! You're turning your back on me and helping that scoundrel instead of me, aren't you?"
Mo Yunfei shook his head, "Not at all, I am naturally helping my fiancée."
"Then good, help me pull these two guys away. I have important matters to attend to."
Ji Fu snorted and began to twist her body like an eel, her graceful curves fully displayed.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yunfei added, "Coincidentally, mother-in-law asked me to inform you that the Dongfang family has invited you for afternoon tea, and I am to accompany you. So, this should be the important matter, right?"
"It's over! The Dongfang family is preparing to make their move prematurely, aren't they?"
Ji Fu's expression tensed, and she said seriously, "Did my mother tell you this herself, or did the Dongfang family call?"
"Is there a difference?"
"Yes!"
Ji Fu, uncharacteristically, looked at Mo Yunfei with an extremely serious gaze.
"Fine, I'm scared of you. Your mother made the call."
A hint of imperceptible cunning flickered in Mo Yunfei's eyes.
"That means my mother is still safe. If I refuse now, Leng Wuhuan might become suspicious~"
Ji Fu gave up struggling, and Ji Hai and Ji Feng also released their hold on her. Ji Feng bowed to Mo Yunfei and said, "Since Young Master says so, then we will entrust Miss to your care."
"Hey, I begged you humbly, but you were stone-hearted and wouldn't agree no matter how much I shouted. Now, with just one word from that surname Mo, you let me go?" Ji Fu raised her eyebrows, a plan forming in her mind, and added, "Alright! I'm not going now. What can you do to me? You want to confine me, right? Come on, I've already extended my leg. Hurry up and tie me up, lest I run off like a wild horse at the first sight of freedom."
When it came to verbal sparring, the three men combined couldn't match half of Ji Fu's tongue. The usually stern Ji Feng genuinely became worried, adding, "Miss is right about that. How about this, let the family head call personally, and then we'll let her go. What do you say?"
But at this moment, Mo Yunfei, who had been calm all along, suddenly changed his expression, "What? You two house slaves think you're so important? You want the family head to call personally? Don't you think too highly of yourselves?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fu felt that there was something fishy about Mo Yunfei's previous words, and at the same time, she felt three powerful streams of true qi circulating within the room!
