191: The Huangfu family is finished!

“Since you are my son, you naturally have responsibilities to bear. If I fail, you must take the remaining clansmen and leave Qingyang City.”

“From now on, fully support your Eldest Brother. As long as he achieves fame and success in the future, it will be the day the Huangfu Family rises again. Do you understand?”

Huangfu Rui nodded, “Your son understands!”

Huangfu He patted Huangfu Jing's shoulder, “I hope you don't blame your father for choosing you to inherit the Huangfu Family and cutting off your path to Cultivation. Your Eldest Brother's Cultivation talent surpasses yours, and your father had no other choice.”

“Today, once you take this Token, you will have no further connection to Cultivation, and no relation to the Liangzhou Trial.”

Huangfu Jing naturally understood this. He nodded through his tears, “Father, I understand, I am willing.”

Huangfu He heavily patted Huangfu Jing's shoulder, “Go.”

Immediately, someone from the crowd stepped out and led Huangfu Jing away. Then, he spoke to another Servant, “After we depart, you personally go to the Lingxiao Sect and relay the message I told you to Rui'er.”

The Servant nodded.

After arranging these matters, Huangfu He looked at Huangfu Mo beside him, “Younger Brother, we are brothers. This time, please help me. No matter what happens to the Huangfu Family in the future, we will not trouble you again.”

Huangfu Mo did not speak, but nodded in agreement.

A smile appeared on the corner of Huangfu He's mouth. He waved his hand and said, “Everyone, prepare for battle. We depart at Midnight.”

Midnight.

In a Dark Alley in Qingyang City.

Huangfu He stood there, clad in a Black Robe, motionless like a statue.

Quietly waiting for time to pass.

Lingxiao Sect.

The Maid urgently knocked open the door to Huangfu Yunyan's Residence.

As soon as she entered, she quickly spoke, “Young Miss, the Huangfu Family has made their move.”

“Huangfu He personally led the men out. They are estimated to strike in ten minutes.”

Huangfu Yunyan was stunned. “Why ten minutes?”

The Maid quickly replied, “Because they will only start acting after Huangfu Mo arrives at the City Lord's Residence. I returned early. Huangfu He also arranged for someone to relay a message to Huangfu Rui. That person is a step behind me and is already at Huangfu Rui's doorstep, also waiting for the time.”

“It's likely they are afraid Huangfu Rui might rush back overnight if he knew, so they plan to tell him the news only after the operation has begun.”

Huangfu Yunyan frowned, “Take me to see that person.”

The Maid did not delay and led Huangfu Yunyan straight to Huangfu Rui's Residence.

Huangfu Yunyan's Residence was not far from Huangfu Rui's, so as soon as she went out, she saw a person standing anxiously waiting at Huangfu Rui's door.

Seeing Huangfu Yunyan, the Servant quickly greeted her, “Young Miss Yunyan!”

Huangfu Yunyan said, “The time hasn't come yet. Why don't you come to my place and rest for a while?”

Hearing this, the Servant waved his hand and said.

“No need, Young Miss. The matter is urgent, I should stay here and Guard.”

Huangfu Yunyan said, “Precisely because the matter is urgent, I cannot let you wait here. How dangerous is that!”

“You come back with me first. I will have my Maid wait here, and when the time comes, I will have her call Huangfu Rui to see you.”

The Servant looked doubtful.

Huangfu Yunyan continued to persuade him, “Your message is more important than anything else. I am also a member of the Huangfu Family; I wouldn't harm you.”

The Servant thought about it, found it reasonable, and followed Huangfu Yunyan to her Residence.

The Maid stayed behind to wait for the time.

Huangfu Yunyan's Residence.

Huangfu Yunyan personally poured the Servant a cup of tea and began to probe, “What message did the Family Head ask you to relay? Does he need my cooperation?”

The Servant hurriedly said, “Young Miss Yunyan, please don't ask. This message is for the Eldest Young Master, and it has nothing to do with you.”

Huangfu Yunyan nodded, “I was being nosy. Have a sip of hot tea.”

City Lord's Residence.

Huangfu Mo appeared on a rooftop of the City Lord's Residence, carrying two jugs of wine. In front of him, Guards already stood packed together.

Huangfu Mo was not panicked; instead, he spoke calmly, “Lord City Lord, you wouldn't refuse me even this bit of Face, would you?”

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Zhenfeng's voice rang out in the courtyard, “Hahaha, that certainly wouldn't happen. Brother Huangfu rarely honors me by seeking me out for a drink late at night. How could I, Lu Zhenfeng, not give him Face?”

“I've already had someone prepare the snacks for the wine. Brother Huangfu, come down and let's talk!”

Huangfu Mo nodded, lifted the Wine Jar, and jumped down.

When he came down, he saw Lu Zhenfeng already sitting at the table, which was covered with wine and dishes.

Huangfu Mo was startled. “City Lord Lu, did you know I was coming?”

Lu Zhenfeng laughed, “I didn't know, I guessed. Looks like I guessed correctly!”

Huangfu Mo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.

Lu Zhenfeng raised an eyebrow and asked, “What's wrong? Aren't you going back to take a look?”

Huangfu Mo replied with a calm expression, “What do you mean, City Lord Lu? I merely came to drink with you. Look at what?”

In his view, Lu Zhenfeng was trying to provoke him. If he actually went back, he would be falling into a trap.

Regarding tonight's matter, as long as he wasn't present, no one could say he participated.

Therefore, no matter what Lu Zhenfeng said, he would not go back.

Even if the Huangfu Family truly failed, he wouldn't return; otherwise, he would be drawn into the scheme!

“Did I guess wrong? Isn't the Huangfu Family making their move tonight?”

Huangfu Mo said indifferently, “Making a move against whom? This is City Lord Lu's territory. Does the Huangfu Family dare to disrespect Lord Lu?”

Lu Zhenfeng smiled, picked up a Wine Cup, and placed it down. “After so many years, I'm used to whether people give Face or not. Didn't you say we were drinking? Pour the wine!”

Hearing this, Huangfu Mo picked up the Wine Jar, filled Lu Zhenfeng's cup, and poured a full cup for himself.

Lu Zhenfeng raised it and took a sip, his eyes instantly lighting up. “As expected of the wine Brother Huangfu brought. Excellent, it is fine wine. It's just a pity that I fear there won't be many opportunities to drink with Brother Huangfu in the future.”

Huangfu Mo smiled, “What's so difficult about that? As long as City Lord Lu wants to drink, I will just come find you more often in the future.”

Lu Zhenfeng shook his head, “The wine is good, but in the future, I fear the person will be gone and the wine cold.”

“Do you know why I didn't go help?” Lu Zhenfeng cut straight to the chase, no longer beating around the bush with Huangfu Mo. “Because Rotten Wood was not killed by me.”

Huangfu Mo's expression changed. “I don't believe Feng Ming killed him.”

Lu Zhenfeng nodded, “Not only do you not believe it, I don't believe it either. So, I also want to know. Let's wait and see tonight what the truth really is.”

Or rather, what Feng Ming's Trump Card is.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Mo immediately stood up, but he only stood for a moment before sitting back down.

He couldn't go, nor could he leave.

His goal was to stall Lu Zhenfeng; nothing else concerned him.

After a moment, Huangfu Mo said, “Then I will wait and see too!”

However, when he said this, Huangfu Mo's tone was full of helplessness.

He had already guessed the Huangfu Family's outcome tonight.

At this moment, Heavy Rain suddenly started falling without warning.

Lu Zhenfeng frowned and shouted, “This wretched weather! Quick, someone, set up a Tent! I want to drink all night with Brother Huangfu.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately stepped forward and erected the Tent.

The rain poured down, but it didn't soak Huangfu Mo.

But his heart was already drenched.

The Huangfu Family is finished!
