SWNOVELXO Chapter 676: I am Ye Fan's woman, he can't ignore me!
The key issue was that the enemy's strikes were clean and decisive; each time the convoy was attacked, it was completely annihilated, leaving no survivors!
Even the experts at the Grandmaster Realm and Martial Venerable Realm were all silenced!
Thus, in the end, the Lu Family knew who was behind the attacks but had no evidence to prove it. Even if they wanted to gather their people and confront them one by one, they lacked just cause and an excuse.
"Yes! Now we and the Ye Family are in the same boat. Even if we don't want to, we have no choice but to figure out a solution," said a grey-robed, squint-eyed old man to the right, slowly starting to speak and immediately attracting more attention.
This was another big shot from the Ye Family, not a member of the Lu Family, but Guo Li, a good friend of Lu Yuwei's grandfather and also one of the several Martial Emperor Strong of the Lu Family.
Lu Yuwei's grandfather had already passed away, and Guo Li's presence essentially represented him. Moreover, Guo Li's strength was above the Martial Emperor Realm, making him one of the pillars of the Lu Family, and his authority in the family was naturally strong.
Guo Li's words instantly prompted the gathered crowd to start whispering among themselves, nodding in agreement.
"Elder Wei and Lady Lu are right, we have no way out now!"
"That's true, but with those eight families in An City going against us like this, what can we do?"
"Exactly, our current strength in the Lu Family is sufficient to deal with one or two of the families, but if we have to go to war with all eight families at the same time, it would be very strenuous for us!"
On the other side, Lu Zhongting, who wanted to say something more after observing the situation, hesitated when he saw that most of the people seemed to support Lu Yuwei. His lips moved slightly, and he exchanged a glance with another elder of the Lu Family beside him, then he wisely kept quiet!
He neither opposed taking action nor expressed his opinion.
"If only we had some external force to back us up right now!" said a middle-aged woman seated a little further down on the right, speaking calmly.
This was Lu Yuwei's direct aunt, Lu Xue, who controlled the entire financial department of the Lu Family. She was honorable and prioritized the Lu Family's interests in all matters.
"But now, in the entire Northwest, with so many families watching, who would rashly ally with our Lu Family?" Lu Zhongting said lightly, "The situation is now clear, it's the Capital City Royal Family that tacitly allows the attacks on the Ye Family, with a plan laid out by Prince Jin over decades… who would dare to offend the Great Xia Royal Family!"
In the Northwest, although Elder Zhang was overthrown by Ye Fan, and many of the Family Powers arranged by Prince Jin in the Northwest direction were also beaten down by Ye Fan's men. However, in reality, when the Eight Great Families made a move against the Lu Family, there were still numerous families that remained on the sidelines.
Even though they knew about the royal family aiding the Ye Family in establishing the Young Marshal Mansion, to many families, this seemed like just a temporary measure by the royal family to stabilize the Ye Family.
A family, no matter what, could not contend with the royal family.
Lu Yuwei quietly watched the hall's reaction, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Only when the family faced a crisis could one truly see who was loyal to the family.
"Indeed, other families dare not offend the royal family, but there is one person… who dares..."
Lu Yuwei swept a glance over everyone present and continued to speak, "The crisis of the Lu Family is only temporary! Since I have already announced that I will marry Ye Fan, I am Ye Fan's woman. If my own family encounters danger, Ye Fan can't possibly ignore it!"
"Initially, the announcement to marry Ye Fan was only intended to protect the bloodline of the Ye Family, but now our Lu Family must be the one being protected! Next, what our Lu Family needs to do is to consolidate our forces and ensure that our core strength is not compromised… everything else can wait until Ye Fan arrives..."
Lu Yuwei probably knew about the things Ye Fan had been doing in Cloud City, Flower Capital, and Guangcheng.
Thinking of Ye Fan's naive and simple demeanor, Lu Yuwei felt somewhat emotional.
Five years had passed, and during those five years, Ye Fan had always appeared foolish and silly. Lu Yuwei never expected that in just a short month, Ye Fan had already grown to such a formidable extent.
Tianji Pavilion, Town Martial Hall, Tiankui Base, Young Marshal Mansion… the combined strength of these powers meant that Ye Fan already had the preliminary capacity to wrestle with Prince Jin...
"Heh heh! Yuwei, don't be too optimistic! Ye Fan has just finished the military martial arts competition in Guangcheng, and it's said that he still has to deal with the Evil Cult in Miaojiang... That place is teeming with countless ancient martial artists and some hermit powerhouses, whether Ye Fan can retreat safely is not certain yet!"
Lu Zhongting's face showed no expression, but his tone was somewhat sarcastic.
In the Miaojiang Region, Zhuang Bifan had already perished, Chris's plane had exploded, and the entire Dark Alliance had been wiped out, but Lu Zhongting was unaware of these events.
"Uncle! You don't need to worry about these things. Since Ye Fan dares to go, he naturally has his methods. However, our Lu Family must unite now, and if I find anyone colluding with outsiders and undermining the interests of the Lu Family, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lu Yuwei, capable of being the head of the Lu Family, was obviously no pushover.
The materials transported by the Lu Family had been continuously robbed; there must be a mole within the family.
And the person Lu Yuwei suspected was none other than her uncle, Lu Zhongting!
Her words left Lu Zhongting with a momentarily embarrassed look on his face, and he promptly shut his mouth!
…
Northwest, An City Airport!
Ye Fan, Guo Li, Wang Fugui, Songyang, Qi Jiao, Yu Qiang, and others arrived quietly, without notifying anyone.
Ye Fan had no intention of immediately seeking out Lu Yuwei upon entering An City; he planned to first conduct a secret investigation to understand the complex situation in the Northwest.
It would be best to quietly uncover the news of his fifth brother's death and then quickly resolve the matter.
At the Soul Hall, Ye Fan had already encountered three Guidance Envoys in a short period of time: Qing Yuan, Zhuo Ri, Xuanming. They seemed to be growing impatient, accelerating their arrangements in the secular world. Ye Fan needed to quickly avenge his seven brothers, secure the Immortal Palace Map, completely eliminate Prince Jin, and then he would have the energy to deal with the Soul Hall.
"Young Master Ye!"
As soon as Ye Fan disembarked from the plane, Han Youyue personally greeted him at the exit.
Looking at Han Youyue's handsome appearance, Ye Fan's mouth curled into a smile, "Haven't seen you for a while, have you grown up?"
While speaking, Ye Fan's gaze unapologetically drifted towards Han Youyue's chest.
Has this girl been crazily eating papayas lately?
Back when they had parted in Cloud City, Han Youyue was only a D, but now she seemed to have at least reached E!
"Ah?" Han Youyue knew exactly what Ye Fan was referring to with his gaze.
That time in Cloud City, Han Youyue had encountered Ye Fan in the restroom, and then Ye Fan "retaliated," pushing her into the position of the Intelligence Queen. At first, Han Youyue had opposed it, but now... she was actually somewhat enjoying the job.
The last time Ye Fan spanked Han Youyue, he had also commented that she was too small, so after returning, she started eating all kinds of papayas!
It seemed like it was somewhat effective now!
Seeing Qi Jiao following next to Ye Fan, Han Youyue said with a bit of coquettish annoyance, "What, does Young Master Ye want to find a place to check it out?"
Hmph!
Do you think you're the only one who can play this game?
I can too!
Let's see how you explain this, Missy...
