After Qin Wudao's appearance, the members of the Murong family in Jinling finally learned Ye Longlin's true identity.
Heavenly King Ye!
Currently, the highest-ranking official in the Nine Provinces, bearing five stars on his shoulders.
The undisputed leader of the military!
Upon hearing this news, no one dared to believe it, nor did they want to. This identity was truly chilling.
Although rumors had circulated in the capital for a long time, no one wanted to believe that the leader of the military was a young man under thirty.
He was simply too young!
They could even imagine the countless objections from military personnel when the Supreme made this decision. No one believed that a young man under thirty could handle such a massive undertaking as the military.
Yet, he proved with his actions that he could not only manage but also charge into the front lines as a soldier!
"Dragon Head Su, long time no see."
"Even without meeting, you still cause me trouble. I am currently with the Murong family, and my fiancée is here. What, are you planning to wipe out my fiancée's family?"
Ye Longlin's public mention of his fiancée caused Mu Hanqi's face to flush slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Especially the elders who had looked down on him earlier. They were now relying on him to resolve the situation, which was quite ironic!
"Congratulations, Heavenly King Ye, congratulations."
"Heavenly King Ye and Madam, this old brother will personally attend your grand wedding to offer congratulations. Hahaha, this old brother can already envision a magnificent ceremony!"
Su Weizhang did not dwell on the topic. Upon hearing about the fiancée, he decisively shifted the conversation.
He knew Ye Longlin's temper. If Ye Longlin were to get angry, the Hongmen would have to seriously consider whether they could withstand his wrath.
The Dragon Pavilion had already seized a significant territory overseas. If this incident led to an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides... Su Weizhang estimated that within a week, the Hongmen would be completely overrun, and their sect's banner would be replaced by the Dragon Pavilion's war flag.
Ye Longlin tapped the table. "Give me a solution."
Murong Renjing looked at Ye Longlin, a sense of fallen heroism appearing in his eyes.
His era had passed; now it was Ye Longlin's era.
He had every reason to believe that soon, the name Ye Longlin would resound in every street and alley, destined to be his solitary era!
The line on the other end fell silent again. After a long pause, Su Weizhang let out a bitter chuckle. "Heavenly King Ye, since you've said so, what else can I do?
You stand with the Murong family. Even with all my abilities, I am no match for you, let alone oppose you. If I refuse today, I have no doubt that my head will be delivered to you within twenty-four hours!
This matter today was my fault. I apologize to you, and I guarantee that our conflict with the Murong family ends here. However, I hope Murong Renjing will apologize to me for what happened back then, as I am the victim and he is the beneficiary."
Su Weizhang's last sentence was delivered with absolute conviction, conveying a sense that if he did not receive an apology, he would fight to the bitter end regardless of the cost.
Murong Renjing sat in the main seat and nodded, acknowledging the matter. After all, it was his fault in the first place. Although his actions back then were wrong, so many years had passed, and so many people had died. It was time for this to end.
He nodded.
"Alright."
Ye Longlin agreed directly.
"Fine, since you've said so, I have nothing more to say. As long as Murong Renjing apologizes to me, this matter is over, and I won't say anything else.
You must contact me on your wedding day, Heavenly King. Su Weizhang guarantees he will be there and will present you with a generous gift. Thank you."
Ye Longlin understood the meaning behind his thanks and accepted without refusal.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Longlin then looked at Su Mingxuan.
"Take your men and leave. This matter ends here."
Su Mingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of gratitude in his eyes. He bowed respectfully before leaving. As if remembering something, he turned back to ask Murong Renjing, "The Hongmen wishes to establish a presence in Jinling. What are your thoughts, Old King?"
Murong Renjing clearly stated, "Since we have made peace, there is no reason for me to stand in your way. The Hongmen are welcome to establish a presence, but I hope there will be no further friction between our families, and I hope the Hongmen will abide by the laws and regulations."
Su Mingxuan still clearly harbored resentment towards the Murong family, but with Ye Longlin present, they could not say much more. He could only let out a cold snort before leaving the Murong family.
Qin Wudao also felt relieved, his gaze softening.
He feared nothing except the complete escalation of this matter. If the Murong family and the Hongmen were to engage in all-out war, not only would there be casualties, but the entire martial arts circle of Jinling would be implicated. Once the Jinling martial arts circle was involved, it would almost certainly drag in various circles across Jinling.
Behind these martial artists were representatives of various factions. If these individuals intervened, Jinling would descend into chaos!
Although ordinary people might not feel it, anyone with a certain status could clearly sense that the consequences arising from this were not something that a mere Director of the Zhenwu Division could bear.
"Thank you for intervening, Heavenly King."
Qin Wudao also clasped his fists respectfully, thanking him for mediating the conflict between the two families.
Ye Longlin glanced at him. He had not had much contact with the Qin family, so he made no judgment.
"It is my duty. However, I also hope that your Qin family can truly stand for fairness and impartiality. In this matter, your Qin family leaned to one side."
Ye Longlin spoke slowly. In the end, he couldn't help but criticize the Qin family.
If the Qin family had been firm, he would not have intervened.
Qin Wudao chuckled bitterly, saying helplessly, "Heavenly King Ye is right. However, our Qin family has hawks and doves. After all, when a family grows large, all sorts of things happen. I cannot decide the family's decisions; I am merely an executor."
This was also the truth. He was merely an executor.
The ultimate decision-making power rested with the Qin family's higher echelons.
"If your Qin family cannot guarantee fairness and justice, I wouldn't mind replacing the Zhenwu Qin family with the Zhenwu He family, or the Liu or Zhang families, understand?"
Ye Longlin tapped the table, his tone indifferent.
The implication was clear: they wanted a compliant family, not one that was out of their control.
If that were the case, they wouldn't mind making a change.
Qin Wudao smiled wryly and nodded, "I understand."
