Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Turns out to be Miss Qin
Hearing Xu Xiao’s words, Yang Fei sneered and scanned the Xu family members with disdain, "The Xu family was driven out of the Divine Continent Martial World fifty years ago, don’t you wish to return? If the people of the Xu family are all as shortsighted as you, prioritizing personal interests over the future of the clan, then I, Yang Fei, have no respect for such a Xu family."
Xu Xiao was furious, "Bastard, how dare you say I’m shortsighted?"
Yang Fei looked at him and said, "Am I wrong?"
Xu Xiao angrily said, "You killed my son, and indirectly caused the death of my grandson. It’s only justified for me to kill you, and no one can say otherwise."
Yang Fei asked, "Was it I who sought out to kill them?"
Xu Xiao was startled and his face instantly turned the color of liver.
Xu Xinghai was killed by Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou, and Xu Xinghai had earlier conspired with the Situ family to deal with Xu Xingzhou. This was known to Xu Mao, who was previously Xu Xinghai’s collaborator.
After returning to the Xu family, they had given a full account of the events at the Law Enforcement Hall.
As for the death of Xu Chou, although it was done by Yang Fei, if Xu Chou had not taken the initiative to seek out Yang Fei, how would he have met his death?
Recently, there has been much discussion within the Xu family regarding the deaths of Xu Chou and Xu Xinghai. They all believe that the position of Family Head has always been a matter of fair competition. Xu Xinghai initiated the conflict and ended up being killed in retaliation, which was deserved.
And Xu Chou, seeking vengeance on Yang Fei only to be killed for his lack of strength, was a disgrace to the Xu family, but few sympathized, considering his son, Xu Xinghai, wasn’t killed by Yang Fei.
All in all, aside from Xu Xiao’s branch, the rest of the Xu family members had little emotional reaction to this matter.
Seeing Xu Xiao at a loss for words, Yang Fei turned his gaze to Xu Liangyou and Xu Yunshan and said, "Do you two wish to have a proper discussion with me, Yang Fei, or do you intend to suppress me like this man?"
Xu Yunshan hastened to say, "Little Brother Yang, please don’t be offended. I invited you here with the intent to cooperate."
Xu Liangyou asked, "Was it you who helped Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou advance their Realms?"
Yang Fei nodded, "Indeed. Xu Xingzhou is a different case since he has great potential of his own, but you should know Xu Mao’s situation. Without external aid, he could never have reached the Energy Transformation Realm in his lifetime."
Xu Liangyou nodded profoundly, looking at Yang Fei he asked, "Since you have such capabilities, why then do you only seek to cooperate with our Xu family? You should be aware that the Xu family is no longer the same as it was fifty years ago."
Yang Fei smiled and said, "It’s because I too am alone in the Divine Continent, without any support. And yet, your Xu family has always harbored the ambition and resolve to return. Our cooperation would be mutually beneficial."
At this moment, Xu Xiao came to his senses and loudly warned, "Second brother, don’t believe this kid’s nonsense. Even if he really has such capabilities, after we suppress him, we could still obtain the method to enhance our strength. Moreover, the Xu family could then monopolize this secret technique."
A glint of interest flashed in Xu Liangyou’s eyes, obviously tempted.
Xu Yunshan, however, loudly scolded, "Third brother, you’re going too far. Meeting with Little Brother Yang was a decision we made together, and now that our guest has arrived, you turn your back on your word. Do you intend to ruin the family’s grand undertaking for your own selfish gains?"
Xu Xiao retorted angrily, "How could I ever forget our family’s grand undertaking? But I won’t agree to cooperate with this youngster."
Xu Yunshan’s face darkened as he scolded, "Third brother, you’re being unreasonable. Have you forgotten how our ancestor advised us?"
After hearing this, Xu Xiao’s heart trembled, and fear appeared on his face.
Xu Liangyou tried to smooth things over, "Enough, third brother. Let’s wait until we’ve talked with Little Brother Yang before we make any decisions."
Seeing that even Xu Liangyou was saying the same, Xu Xiao knew that any further action on his part would incite the wrath of the Xu family members. With a heavy snort, he left abruptly.
Ignoring him, Xu Yunshan made another inviting gesture with both hands to Yang Fei, "Please forgive the display. This way."
Yang Fei remained standing and said, "I want to see Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou first, to see how they are doing."
Xu Yunshan smirked inwardly and looked toward Xu Liangyou.
With a nod from Xu Liangyou, Xu Yunshan turned to someone behind him and ordered, "Bring Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou to the reception hall."
"Yes," the person responded and left to carry out the command.
Xu Yunshan once again made an inviting gesture to Yang Fei, "Little brother, this way, please."
Yang Fei chuckled softly and took Qin Yanyang by hand, walking towards the mountain gate of the Xu Family.
The group bypassed the vermilion pavilions and Orchid Pavilions, walking for several minutes before arriving at a spacious and majestic hall.
Inside the hall, ancient Taishi chairs made of golden Phoebe nanmu wood were arranged, exceptionally valuable.
After entering, at the invitation of Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang took their seats on the right side.
Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou sat down on the left.
The Xu Family members served steaming hot tea, placing it on the tables beside them.
"I heard from my grandson that Little Brother Yang only enjoys plain tea, so I took the liberty of having my people make a pot," Xu Yunshan said with a smile. "Would you like a taste, little brother?"
Yang Fei smiled and picked up the teacup.
Qin Yanyang coughed lightly and slowly shook her head.
Yang Fei said with a laugh, "It’s alright, there aren’t many in this world who can poison me, and the Xu Family certainly wouldn’t poison me."
With that, he drank several sips of tea.
Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou both nodded to themselves, admiring the young man’s courage.
Xu Liangyou suddenly turned his gaze to Qin Yanyang and asked, "This young lady exudes an extraordinary presence. May I inquire which sect or family’s esteemed daughter she might be?"
Qin Yanyang smiled faintly and said, "My surname is Qin, I am Yang Fei’s wife. The people in the Xu Family, including Xu Chou, are aware of my identity; could it be that you don’t know?"
Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou frowned slightly, showing expressions of confusion.
At that moment, Xu Xiao walked in from outside, giving Qin Yanyang a complex look and asking, "Are you Qin Yanyang?"
Upon these words, Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou both stood up, their faces showing shock.
Immediately, Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou looked towards Xu Xiao, anger in their eyes, with Xu Liangyou being the first to speak out, "Third Brother, how dare you keep such an important matter from us?"
Xu Xiao, knowing he was in the wrong, stubbornly retorted, "I’ve never met the Qin Family’s phoenix. How could I know that the woman with this youngster is Miss Qin of the Qin Family?"
Xu Yunshan said with a dark face, "Even if you didn’t recognize Miss Qin, you shouldn’t have kept from us what Xu Chou told you."
Yang Fei’s wife turned out to be Qin Yanyang—this information was indeed too important. Xu Xiao daring to withhold it was truly excessive!
Xu Xiao snorted coldly and did not answer, instead sitting down next to Xu Liangyou.
Xu Liangyou glanced at him, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes as he shook his head and sighed.
Afterward, Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou both bowed with their fists and said to Qin Yanyang, "We truly did not know that an esteemed guest was gracing us, our conduct earlier was indeed remiss."
Qin Yanyang smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "Elders, you’re too polite. I came uninvited and was presumptuous. Moreover, I accompanied my husband here, so as long as you regard him, you need not concern yourselves with me."
Although Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou had guessed the identities of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang from the intimate gesture of holding hands, their hearts were still quite shocked when Qin Yanyang openly stated their relationship.
This young man was actually the grandson-in-law of Qin Huai’an, the husband of Qin Yanyang!
It was truly unexpected.
Why didn’t Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou mention it?
Xu Yunshan felt rather displeased internally, thinking those two from the Xu Family went too far, daring to keep him in the dark.
Just as he was angered, the voice of the Law Enforcement Hall elder came from outside: "Bring in Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou."
Xu Yunshan, already annoyed with the two, commanded curtly, "Let them roll in."
