5: I will raise your wife and daughter.

“Among the younger generation, my strength is definitely not bad.”

“At least, among the younger generation in the four domains of Youzhou, I am enough to dominate.”

“With two conquest targets taken down, the Yin Qi is temporarily sufficient, so I can rest assured and deal with the sect's matters.”

On the way to Elder Peak, Xu Xi was naturally satisfied as he estimated his own strength.

In just one day, he had already reached such a level; becoming the continent's number one was only a matter of time.

At the same time, Xu Xi was also planning his next steps.

“Senior Brother Xu, you're back. The First Elder is waiting for you in Qingyayuan, and the Second Elder and the others are also there.”

As soon as he stepped into Elder Peak and entered the First Elder's jurisdiction, a woman approached Xu Xi.

Dressed in red, with fair skin, beautiful features, long legs, and a voluptuous figure that made people exclaim 'foul play' as she walked.

Report it! Someone is dribbling and colliding with people!

And it's two at once.

“Let me bear this sin alone.”

“If I don't go to hell, who will?”

Without declining, Xu Xi put his arm around the waist of the beauty in front of him and responded in a low voice,

“Hmm, I know.”

“Junior Sister Yaqian, wait outside. I'll come back to have a deeper exchange with you later.”

“Ding! Conquest target detected. Acquiring target information.”

【Name: Zhao Yaqian】

【Critical Hit Spot: Spring Water】

【Number of Battles: 0】

【Weakness: No resistance to power】

【Affection: 80】

“Okay, Senior Brother Xu, you mustn't go back on your word~”

“Otherwise, I'll cry little pearls~”

“Hehe~”

Jokingly responding to Xu Xi, Zhao Yaqian did not resist Xu Xi's actions; instead, she enjoyed them immensely.

Evidently, the two had done such things many times.

However, the original host surprisingly hadn't 'charged' Zhao Yaqian, which was truly perplexing.

“The original host doesn't seem like someone who could hold back, does he?”

“Could it be that this 'number of battles' only started accumulating after I arrived on this continent?”

“Ding! Host's query detected. Answering for the host.”

“The 'number of battles' is the cumulative count of battles conducted with the target after the system was activated, and is unrelated to the number of battles the target experienced before.”

The system was very thoughtful in providing a timely explanation.

“Ah, I see. Then I understand.”

Understanding in his heart, Xu Xi no longer dwelled on this small matter. As he walked inward, he already saw many scattered figures in Qingyayuan.

“Nephew Xu is here.”

“Nephew, come quickly and persuade your father. He is stubbornly insisting on a head-on confrontation with the Sect Mistress.”

“Right now, we have all suffered some losses and cannot continue to clash. Otherwise, it will be a net loss.”

As soon as he walked in, before he could even speak, Xu Xi was targeted by everyone.

With everyone's gaze fixed on him, Xu Xi felt a little uncomfortable and said with a wry smile,

“How could I possibly have the ability to persuade my father?”

“However, Father, I also don't recommend continuing to clash head-on.”

“The previous plan targeting the Sect Master has already incurred too many losses. Although we didn't directly intervene,”

“However, the cost of hiring people to act was not small for us. If this continues, it will be a losing business, and it's unnecessary.”

Looking at his nominal father sitting in the center, Xu Xi didn't feel much identification, treating him merely as an NPC character with the title of 'father'.

“Even Xier, you think so?”

“Then let's postpone it for a while. However, it cannot be too late. Otherwise, once Xia Junling gains control of the situation, it won't be so easy to profit from it.”

Hearing that his beloved son was also trying to persuade him, Xu Jiayin ultimately did not persist.

After a sigh, he tacitly agreed.

Then, he waved his hand, dismissing everyone… “Xier, do you have anything to say?”

“Now it's just the two of us, father and son, so there are no such taboos.”

With dim eyes glancing towards Xu Xi, Xu Jiayin no longer hid anything at this moment.

He knew that his son definitely had something to say.

“There are some things I want to say.”

“Father, I think we can sell all of them.”

“Your son is confident he can persuade the Sect Mistress.”

Stating his insights, Xu Xi was even bolder.

In his words, he showed no regard for those who had just been present.

As if they were merely bargaining chips that could be exchanged.

“That's a good idea.”

“If possible, I would naturally want to do that.”

“But everything needs a justifiable reason. Right now, we are, after all, dark rats who cannot see the light.”

At this point, Xu Jiayin once again picked up the teacup beside the table. After a light sip, he parted his dark purple lips and said indifferently,

“If the matter comes to light, we will die a miserable death, just like them.”

“The spittle of those disciples in the sect alone would be enough to drown us.”

“We can hire assassins, there's no reason Xia Junling can't.”

“It's just that we had the upper hand.”

His eyes darted towards Xu Xi. Even with a hint of fatherly affection, Xu Xi could still discern a sinister glint in Xu Jiayin's eyes.

“Xier, are you sure you can work with that woman, Xia Junling?”

“You know, her guard against us has never been lowered.”

Xu Jiayin wasn't surprised by Xu Xi's words. Perhaps, in Xu Jiayin's heart, he was also plotting how to maximize his gains.

Black-on-black incidents were common on this continent, and an old man like Xu Jiayin would naturally not find it strange.

“Of course, no problem. I've taken down her precious daughter.”

“Rock solid!”

With a faint smile, Xu Xi indicated that there was no pressure.

“Hahahaha!”

“I didn't expect it, Xier, that you could actually take down that girl.”

“You truly are my son.”

“Then I should plan how to sell them off without their knowledge.”

Twirling the wisp of white beard on his chin, and with narrowed eyes, Xu Jiayin at this moment looked exactly like a cunning merchant.

And he deeply believed his son's words.

After all, his son had never disappointed him.

“The Second Elder, the Third Elder, the assassins from Island of the Banished Immortals, and some personnel from Xiaoyao Sect.”

“Aside from us, these people are the main targets. Arrange any plans as early as possible. If we can get rid of these people, it will also be very beneficial to us.”

Taking a sip of tea, Xu Jiayin, this old fox, unhesitatingly exposed those people.

“These people, huh…”

“Your son understands.”

“Father, do you have any relevant evidence?”

“If we are to frame them, these things are indispensable.”

Nodding in response, Xu Xi couldn't help but sigh in admiration after learning this. These people were truly willing to go all out.

Within the sect alone, the three leading elders had all rebelled.

Outside the sect, they not only hired the Xuan Yuan Continent's largest assassin organization but also allied with Xiaoyao Sect, which had conflicts with Xuanjian Sect in Youzhou.

With this inside-out collaboration, one could only say that Ye Liufeng's death was not unjustified.

“Sect Master, rest assured, I will take good care of your wife and daughter!”

Your wife and daughter, I will raise them!

Silently mourning for Ye Liufeng, Xu Xi, who had benefited from others, couldn't very well not do something practical.

He planned to take down these people, considering it a repayment to the deceased Sect Master.

“This is a recording stone, enough to serve as evidence. I've duplicated one copy, and this remaining one is for you.”

A pure white, transparent stone suddenly appeared in Xu Jiayin's hand, which he handed to Xu Xi.

“Xier, if these people are too difficult to handle, then don't make a move for now.”

“A lose-lose situation will not benefit us in any way.”

“Currently, Ye Liufeng is dead, and the Sect Mistress is overwhelmed with grief.”
