287: consultation

"Elder Su, since that is how you think, then I have no other choice. In that case, I can only wait for your good news." Nangong Yue curled his lips, and looking at his expression, it was obvious he was somewhat displeased.

However, Nangong Yue could do nothing about Elder Su. After all, he was the Sect Master of the Su Family, and for one thing, he had to give him Face.

For another, it was also to put Elder Su at ease.

Elder Su naturally held some authority in Yunzhou City, and Nangong Yue did not want to offend such a figure.

"Rest assured, in three days, I will give you an answer." Elder Su's Face was gloomy, and his expression was extremely ugly.

In truth, Elder Su also had some hidden thoughts; he did not want to agree to this matter just like that.

Not to mention that this matter would drag the Su Family into the water, but if Yunzhou were to fall into chaos, it would give Mulan Manor an opportunity.

Mulan Manor had long been eyeing Yunzhou covetously; previously, they had taken action to abduct the Tang Sect Leader, also for the sake of Yunzhou City.

If the Su Family and the Nangong Family were to truly stir up warfare in Yunzhou City, it would ultimately allow Mulan Manor to reap the benefits.

This was not an outcome Elder Su wanted to see.

Furthermore, there was a rumor in Yunzhou City that the Nangong Family had already become lackeys for Mulan Manor, and the reason for the Tang Family's incident was because of the Nangong Family.

It was precisely because of these things that Elder Su did not trust Nangong Yue very much.

"Very well, since Elder Su has said as much, I need not say more. I hope Elder Su can keep to our agreement; I will await your answer in three days." After saying this, Nangong Yue stood up directly.

Now that Nangong Yue's goal had been achieved, there was no need to continue staying here.

Subsequently, Nangong Yue stood up and left. At this moment, he specifically turned his head to glance at the high platform of the Tang Family.

On the high platform, Tang Ru and Tang Eleven sat side by side. After today, the hegemon of Yunzhou City would still be the Tang Family, but the master of the Tang Family had already changed.

"The Tang Family will be finished sooner or later!" A cold glint erupted in Nangong Yue's eyes as he said this eerily.

Before leaving, this bewitching Nangong Yue cast a vicious glance at Tang Eleven.

In fact, this was precisely the target of Nangong Yue's jealousy.

Tang Eleven was young, yet he had already become the Sect Master of the Tang Family, but what about Nangong Yue? No matter how he tried to Cultivate, he would never become the Sect Master of the Nangong Family.

This was simply because Nangong Yue was a concubine-born son of the Nangong Family; after all, Nangong Yue could not change his origins, and there was nothing to be done about that.

Nangong Yue understood one thing even more clearly: no matter what he did, there was no way to change it.

However, Nangong Yue did not want to resign himself to fate just like that, which was why he kept struggling and wanted to realize his own value through such methods.

As far as Nangong Yue was concerned, if he could be useful to the Nangong Family, even if he could not become the Sect Master, he would still have a chance to become an Elder.

"I will definitely be able to accomplish what I want to do." Nangong Yue's Face was gloomy, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

Suddenly, Tang Eleven also sensed this unpleasant gaze. He raised his head and looked around, intending to find this person in this way.

Tang Eleven sat in the seat of honor, a cold glint erupting in his eyes.

Most of the people from the Yunzhou City families coming and going at the grand banquet were influential figures in Yunzhou City.

However, who exactly was emitting such powerful Evil Qi? Moreover, this person clearly harbored deep hostility toward the Tang Family.

"Third Uncle, did you sense anything?" Tang Eleven turned his head and looked at the Third Uncle, Tang Ru, beside him.

Tang Ru did not speak much; he only nodded slightly. In fact, he understood one thing even more clearly in his heart.

Among the families in Yunzhou City, those who had grievances against the Tang Family were not few.

The reason these people appeared here was, firstly, a matter of Face, and secondly, they did not want to fall out with the Tang Family just yet.

In short, once these people possessed the strength, they would certainly act against the Tang Family.

Tang Ru understood this principle, which was why he did not want internal chaos in the Tang Family, and even less did he want to give these people an opportunity.

After a long time, Tang Ru looked around before turning back to look at Tang Eleven.

"Shiyi, I sensed it long ago, but I have never said anything. Do you know why?" Tang Ru's Face was gloomy, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

But after hearing this.

Shiyi was even more confused. This was clearly a bad thing for the Tang Family, so why didn't Third Uncle say anything?

If they knew who this person was and eliminated them directly, wouldn't that bring peace to the Tang Family?

Of course, this was what Tang Eleven thought in his heart; if it were him, he would definitely do so.

"Why? Third Uncle, do you have some plan?" Tang Eleven did not understand, so he asked directly.

However, facing this questioning, Tang Ru let out a long sigh.

Tang Ru then calmed down first before slowly saying, "Actually, it is very simple. I have no plans at all, and I do not want to delve into who these people are."

"Why! Third Uncle, don't these people need to be eliminated directly? In fact, these people will be detrimental to the Tang Family, but keeping them will certainly bring hidden dangers to the Tang Family. If we eliminate them directly, wouldn't that be great?" Shiyi was very naive; he thought that after directly resolving these people, the Tang Family could live a peaceful life.

However, the one thing Shiyi did not think of was.

Even if the Tang Family directly eliminated a portion of people, he still had no way to resolve new enemies.

As long as the Tang Family was the hegemon of Yunzhou City, there would be people dissatisfied with the Tang Family, and they would stir, which was also something unavoidable.

"You will understand in the future. There is no need for me to tell you now." Tang Ru gasped, feeling quite helpless.

Shiyi had never experienced these things, so naturally, he did not understand.

However, Tang Ru was as clear as a mirror; as long as one Family made a move against the Tang Family, it would be a case of 'one call and a hundred respond,' and the families would follow closely behind.

If it truly reached that stage, the Tang Family would only have a dead end.

Tang Ru did not want to see such an outcome.

"But, Third Uncle, can you explain clearly? I don't want to be left in the dark like this!" Tang Eleven clenched his fists tightly and turned back to look at Tang Ru.

At this moment, a cold glint erupted in Tang Eleven's bright eyes as he stared fixedly at the Third Uncle.

In fact, there was already a misunderstanding between Tang Eleven and Tang Ru; regarding his grandfather's matter, Tang Ru had actually chosen to stand by and watch without helping.

Such an action made Tang Eleven even more suspicious of what kind of intentions this Tang Ru had.

However, Tang Eleven could not express his attitude directly; he could not do that!

"Shiyi, even if you could kill one person, what about a Family? What do you plan to do?" Tang Ru turned back, put down the teacup in his hand, and suddenly asked this.

"Then I will kill a Family." A cold glint erupted in Tang Eleven's eyes, and he clenched his fists urgently.

At this moment, Tang Eleven had made his decision; he did not want the Tang Family to encounter danger.

Therefore, as long as it was someone detrimental to the Tang Family, Tang Eleven would try every possible method to eliminate them.

And besides this choice, Tang Eleven had no better way; he could do anything for the Tang Family.

"Sigh, you still don't understand." Tang Ru sighed, feeling even more helpless. "You can kill one Family, but what about two families, or even more? Do you intend to kill them all directly? Or use methods of extermination?"

"But, Shiyi, you must understand that what we are facing is not as simple as one or two families."

"The Tang Family is facing the entire collection of families in Yunzhou City. If pushed too far, and these families all unite to oppose our Tang Family, then the Tang Family would truly be facing extermination."

Tang Ru felt even more helpless when he reached this point.

At this moment, Tang Ru slowly raised his head and gazed into the vast sky.

"Actually, if the Tang Family truly had powerful strength, there would be no need to fear. However, the Tang Family simply does not. If the current Tang Family wants to continue dominating Yunzhou City, then what it relies on are these families within Yunzhou City."

There was a sense of bitterness in these words of Tang Ru.

In truth, what Tang Eleven thought was also what Tang Ru had always wanted to do, but he understood that this was impossible.

The current Tang Family's strength was too weak; wanting to oppose the entire collection of Yunzhou City families was simply impossible.

After hearing these words, Tang Eleven suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head, feeling quite helpless.

"Third Uncle, I understand now. So, you have always had good intentions!" Shiyi gasped, clenching his fists tightly.

In truth, Shiyi was also very unwilling, but he had no other way.

Consequently, Shiyi had no other choice.

"It is good that you can understand. Now is not the time to act recklessly. What you want to do is to properly protect the Tang Family!" Tang Ru said earnestly.

"Alright, Third Uncle, I understand." Tang Eleven nodded forcefully; he also did not want to act recklessly anymore.

Now, Tang Eleven also wanted to save his grandfather, but at this moment, he understood one thing even more: there were more important things to do.

His grandfather had been taken away by Mulan Manor, but the thing Tang Eleven had to do now was to stabilize the situation in Yunzhou City.

If Mulan Manor were to take advantage of the situation, the Tang Family would truly be finished.

Tang Ru did not want such a thing to happen, and Tang Eleven felt the same.

"It is good that you can understand. The most important thing right now is the Tang Family's Sect Master banquet. Only when you sit in the position of Sect Master can you stabilize the situation of the Tang Family." Tang Ru mused.
