On the way.
Xueqi was very silent, unhappy, and basically didn't talk to Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian didn't say anything about this until they returned to the pavilion.
After he briefly explained the general situation to Bingyao and Ye Zhenghao, he called Xueqi into the room alone.
"Are you angry?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's voice, Xueqi gritted her teeth and shook her head firmly, saying, "No."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "I know what you're angry about. It's just that I promised not to interfere with Xuefeng's affairs, right!"
Xueqi did not answer, but turned her body away, not looking at Ye Cangtian at all.
Xuefeng was her home. Ye Cangtian should have seen this. Since that was the case, why did he watch others snatch her home!
Xueqi didn't understand this. Had she been with Yinlong day and night without considering her a friend?
On the other side, seeing Xueqi's angry look, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "That's right, I promised not to interfere with Xuefeng's affairs, but I didn't say I wouldn't interfere with your affairs?"
"What do you mean!"
Xueqi didn't understand what Ye Cangtian meant at all, nor did she intend to think about it. She directly asked.
"What a silly girl!"
Ye Cangtian gave her a helpless look and smiled, "Normally, I won't make a move, but what if it's not a normal situation? For example, when you are in danger..."
Huh?
When Xueqi heard this, her eyes rolled, and she thought of something.
The next moment, she looked at Ye Cangtian and continued, "You mean, when Yulong Villa annexes Xuefeng, as long as I stand up and am in danger, you can make a move?"
"That's right," Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
Hearing his affirmative answer, Xueqi's eyes immediately brightened.
This was indeed a solution. It did not violate the agreement with An Yi, and he could help Xuefeng out of trouble.
At that time, An Yi would probably be furious, but he couldn't accuse them, so he would have to suffer in silence!
Thinking of this, Xueqi looked at Ye Cangtian and finally smiled, saying, "Brother Yinlong, your trick is too wicked?"
"Uh... I'll take that as a compliment!"
Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly and continued, "This is not something you should worry about. Even without me, there is Zhenghao!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian added, "Even further, even without me and Zhenghao, your master can handle it herself!"
Ye Cangtian was not talking nonsense.
Han Chengze could send people to Yulong Villa to invite the God of Death, knowing that he was Longsun Lingxi's subordinate!
In this way, he must have known that Longsun Lingxi represented Yulong Villa and would not take any retaliatory action.
And with the entire strength of Xuefeng, it should not be difficult to deal with Longsun Lingxi!
The reason for finding the God of Death was not that Han Chengze could not handle it himself, but because he did not want Xuefeng to get into trouble.
Therefore, finding the God of Death to handle his family affairs would allow Xuefeng to stay out of it.
On the other hand, Xueqi's eyes widened in surprise at Ye Cangtian's words.
She had been by her master's side for so many years. If her master hadn't told her, she wouldn't have understood the reasoning.
But Ye Cangtian had only had a brief contact with her master, and he had guessed all of this. It was simply incredible.
After a moment of surprise, Xueqi calmed down. She looked at Ye Cangtian again, "Brother Yinlong, my master will definitely ask about today's matter. How should I answer?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Just answer truthfully, it's not a secret anyway!"
"But as for me making a move to help you, it's best to keep it a secret for now!" Ye Cangtian added.
Hearing this, Xueqi nodded. Although she didn't understand what he meant, she agreed.
Then she said, "Then Xueqi will take her leave. My master is waiting for my reply!"
Saying that, Xueqi saw Ye Cangtian nod, and she left the room.
...
Xuefeng Village, in a homestay.
Hun Ba hummed a tune leisurely, with a proud smile on his face.
He was in a very good mood at the moment. The reason was simple: Ye Cangtian and Ye Zhenghao had actually come to Xuefeng, which coincided with his guess.
It was known that Ye Cangtian's whereabouts were quite elusive. He was very proud that he could make such an accurate judgment.
He even felt like he had grasped Ye Cangtian's lifeline.
What made him even happier was that he hadn't decided whether to follow his subordinate's suggestion, as this plan was also very dangerous.
But after arriving here, he found that Ye Cangtian had given him a good opportunity.
He was in an ambiguous relationship with the disciple of the Xuefeng Peak Master, and more importantly, he had a conflict with Zong Luan, which gave him an opportunity to sow discord.
Therefore, he decided to make a move first.
If it didn't succeed, it wasn't impossible to adopt his subordinate's suggestion.
"Report!"
Just then, a voice came, and a subordinate appeared before him.
Hun Ba looked at him and said indifferently, "What's the situation in Xuefeng now?"
"Very complicated!"
"Sir, let me tell you slowly..."
The subordinate looked at him and told him all the news he had received.
First, the news was about the rumors they had spread.
To be honest, the effect was not very significant.
As for the external rumors, Yinlong and others adopted a cold-shoulder approach, not explaining or responding at all.
The only gain was that Bingyao reportedly went to Zong Luan's side hall and bullied Zong Luan, which eventually led to the Xuefeng Peak Master.
According to unofficial sources, Yinlong and the Peak Master had a very unpleasant argument over the punishment of Xueqi and Bingyao, almost coming to blows.
But in the end, with the intervention of Yulong Villa, it was somehow resolved.
Besides, people from Yulong Villa met with Yinlong tonight, but the specifics were unknown.
"Damn it!"
Hearing this news, Hun Ba was furious.
This was not only because his plan had achieved little success, but also because people from Yulong Villa had intervened.
With Yulong Villa here, all his plans were disrupted.
The reason was simple: even if they could obtain the Four Great Seals, Yulong Villa would come to snatch them.
Therefore, he had to further refine the plan and include Yulong Villa in it.
If Yulong Villa, Xuefeng, and Ye Cangtian's group could fight against each other and weaken each other, they would be invincible.
If it could be further improved, with the three factions fighting, and even the Liehuo Yuan and Jifeng Tower involved, it would be even more perfect!
Feiyun Pavilion would ultimately benefit, becoming the true overlord of the ruins.
Thinking of this, Hun Ba began to ponder how to improve this action plan.
...
Xueshen Temple, main hall.
The Peak Master sat in the main seat, carefully listening to the news brought by Xueqi.
Bang!
After an unknown amount of time, the Peak Master's old hand fell directly on the armrest, shattering it.
Xueqi was startled and stopped abruptly, not daring to say another word.
Bastards! They were all bastards!
The Peak Master roared inwardly, filled with anger. He never expected that his meticulously planned confrontation between Yulong Villa, Yinlong, and Ye Zhenghao had failed.
Not only had it failed, but now Yinlong was doing business with Yulong Villa, and watched as Yulong Villa dealt with Xuefeng.
This was truly a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet!
If he hadn't fallen out with Yinlong, then with Yinlong's relationship with Xueqi and Bingyao, he would never have watched Xuefeng be annexed by Yulong Villa.
It could be said that Xuefeng's current predicament was all his own doing.
What made him feel the most distressed was that he was powerless to do anything about this situation.
After all, Xuefeng had no peak power behind it!
Thinking of this, he looked at Xueqi and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Qi'er, is there really no way to persuade Yinlong to make a move with Ye Zhenghao?"
The Peak Master was making a final effort, as the confrontation between Yulong Villa and Yinlong and others was the most beneficial situation for Xuefeng.
