Ten minutes later.
"Uh... um, how about we discuss some serious business first?"
Ye Ming saw Nangong Qianyu chatting incessantly with Yekawa Sagong, leaving him to the side, and finally couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.
However, he could also feel that while chatting with Nangong Qianyu, the hostility on Yekawa Sagong's body had lessened.
"Serious business?"
Hearing these two words, Nangong Qianyu suddenly clapped her hands, almost forgetting this matter.
"Sister Sagong! Let's chat again later!" Nangong Qianyu was still a little reluctant to end the conversation.
Through their brief chat just now, she discovered that Yekawa Sagong was actually a very pure woman.
So pure that she was a blank slate regarding many things.
However, considering Yekawa Sagong's childhood environment, it wasn't entirely unexpected.
After all, her life from childhood was only divided into three things.
Eating! Sleeping! And cultivating.
In such an environment, Yekawa Sagong naturally lacked opportunities to encounter new things.
"Okay!"
Yekawa Sagong nodded gently, and a rare smile appeared on her red lips beneath the veil.
Alas!
No one saw it!
"Gong..."
"Just call me Ye Ming!"
Seeing Yekawa Sagong about to address him as "Young Master," Ye Ming directly raised his hand to interrupt: "You and Qianyu are... good sisters, no need to be so formal."
"Okay!"
Yekawa Sagong found this reasonable.
However, Nangong Qianyu, standing beside Ye Ming, directly rolled her eyes at him.
Ye Ming naturally understood the meaning hidden in this gesture. He scratched his nose with his hand, feeling a little awkward.
"What's wrong?"
Yekawa Sagong looked confused.
She naturally didn't understand the implied meaning.
"N-nothing!" Ye Ming quickly changed the subject and said, "Sagong! Let's talk about the Yekawa family's affairs first!"
The Yekawa family's affairs?
Naturally, it was about someone instigating conflict between him and the Yekawa family.
"I've already understood what happened before."
Upon hearing this, Yekawa Sagong habitually revealed a hint of cold killing intent and said, "I will definitely find out the person behind it!"
How dare they plot against her.
This was something Yekawa Sagong absolutely could not tolerate.
"Let's put the person behind it aside for now. What you should be worried about now is..." Ye Ming looked at her and reminded her, "Is the Yekawa family still the original Yekawa family?"
The original... Yekawa family.
Yekawa Sagong's intellect was far beyond that of ordinary people, and she immediately understood what Ye Ming meant.
"You're worried that the Yekawa family has been completely infiltrated?" Thinking of that possibility, the killing intent in Yekawa Sagong's eyes intensified.
"I must say, this possibility is very high!"
Ye Ming said gravely, "In fact, you've also realized that the Yekawa family is very dissatisfied with your recent actions, right?"
More specifically, they were unhappy with what Yekawa Sagong had done for Ye Ming.
"Yes!"
Yekawa Sagong did not deny it and said, "More than once, people from the family have told me not to get involved with you. But..." She looked into Ye Ming's eyes and said sternly, "This is a transaction between you and me; they can't control it!"
"You gave me strength, and I help you with tasks. It's very fair!" She recalled the words she said when she made the deal with Ye Ming, and repeated, "Although, there is no fairness in this world."
So-called fairness was merely the bestowal of the strong upon the weak.
"I have truly felt your spirit of contract!"
Hearing Yekawa Sagong's answer, and considering her previous actions, from any perspective, Yekawa Sagong was an excellent partner.
Hmm! Although she has now become someone's sister.
"As for whether the Yekawa family has been completely infiltrated, I'm actually not worried at all!"
At this moment, Yekawa Sagong said something that surprised both Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
"Why?"
This was Nangong Qianyu's question.
"The reason is very simple..." Yekawa Sagong stood up, her tone suddenly becoming very detached, almost devoid of emotion: "Because the entire Yekawa family means nothing to me."
Means nothing?
To put Yekawa Sagong's words bluntly, she didn't care whether the members of the Yekawa family lived or died.
The only person she truly cared about was her mother.
"I see!"
With her simple answer, both Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu understood the underlying meaning.
Thinking back now, they suddenly felt that the people of the Yekawa family were a bit laughable.
They themselves owed their glory to Yekawa Sagong, yet they still tried to interfere in her affairs. Wasn't such an approach a bit too... arrogant?
No self-awareness at all.
In Yekawa Sagong's heart, if her mother were not in the Yekawa family compound, she probably wouldn't even come back to visit.
Family affection!
Don't be ridiculous.
Such things would only affect her cultivation speed.
This was instilled in her by her mother.
"Sister Sagong! What if those people control your mother?" At this moment, Nangong Qianyu suddenly thought of a terrifying speculation.
Since Yekawa Sagong only cared about her mother, wouldn't the people of the Yekawa family know that?
If Yekawa Sagong refused to cooperate, those people might indeed become desperate and use her mother to threaten her.
"No! They won't have that chance!"
However, after hearing Nangong Qianyu's words, Yekawa Sagong remained calm and said, "I have arranged for two God-level experts to secretly protect my mother. If there's any movement, I will know immediately."
Two God-level experts.
That was indeed a grand gesture.
"Indeed! With two God-level experts, it should be very safe. But..."
As Ye Ming spoke, two words unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Shadow Stream!
This mysterious organization.
"But what?"
For some reason, Yekawa Sagong suddenly had a bad premonition.
"But only if those people don't make a move!" Ye Ming said gravely.
Those people!
"You mean... people like us!" Yekawa Sagong immediately understood.
"Yes!"
Then, Ye Ming recounted what had happened to Yamamoto Kawa.
"Shadow Stream... Damned!"
Upon hearing that Shadow Stream was also involved in the previous instigation plot, the hostility on Yekawa Sagong's body seemed to become somewhat uncontrollable.
"They did contact you."
Seeing her expression, Ye Ming had already guessed some things.
"That's right! A few days ago, someone suddenly came..."
But before Yekawa Sagong could finish, her pocket vibrated.
Someone was calling.
"Huh?"
Taking out her phone and looking at it, Yekawa Sagong's beautiful eyes widened. The unease she felt just moments ago seemed about to come true.
Beep!
The moment she pressed the answer button, a cacophony of sounds came from the other end of the line.
"Sa... Madam Sagong, someone is attacking the Yekawa family, your... your mother is in danger... Ah!"
