Yun Yan didn't expect that Yue Wushuang would talk nonsense in front of him, but he also understood that Yue Wushuang had no ill intentions. He just said this to win Yu Ruyi's trust, so Yun Yan didn't care too much.
But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard Ye Erniang's voice.
"Excuse me, when did Su Xuan become Mr. Yun's woman? Why didn't I know about this?"
After saying that, Ye Erniang came to Yun Yan's side and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that the misunderstanding could no longer be explained clearly, Yun Yan quickly changed the topic and told everyone.
"We will talk about Su Xuan and I later. Now I promise you that Ye Erniang will never betray us."
Ye Erniang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she nodded and admitted.
"Of course, why would I betray my friend?"
Qing Zhi asked with a smile upon hearing this.
"Then how will you explain to him in the future?"
Ye Erniang understood what Qing Pheasant meant. Of course, this was also what others meant. In order to reassure everyone, Ye Erniang answered seriously.
"It was just a transaction between me and him. Now that the transaction is over, we don't owe each other. Perhaps in his eyes, I am still his helper in the Kyushu Alliance, but I will try my best to keep a distance from him in the future. After all, we don’t have the ability to fight him now, right?”
Qingzhi nodded and replied.
"With your words, I feel relieved. You have just taken over Lihu Palace. There are still many things to do next. Let's wait until everything in Lihu Palace returns to normal."
Yu Ruyi also agreed with Qing Zhi's idea and saw her saying to Ye Erniang.
"If there are any difficulties in the future, just tell the three of us. As long as we can help Li Hu Palace, we will not refuse."
Ye Erniang understood that the reason why Yu Ruyi said this was because of Yun Yan's affection, so she could only keep this friendship in her heart and look for opportunities to repay her in the future.
"Thank you three seniors for taking care of me."
Yu Ruyi smiled at this time.
"If you want to thank you, just thank Mr. Yun. Anyway, he earned all these favors. I am not as generous as him. I started with the Dao Yun Dan and the Sword Intent inheritance. In the end, I even extended my kindness to everyone. Everyone has a share. I really don’t understand why he is so sure that Tianhai Guxin and Kunpeng will also be bribed.”
Yunyan shook her head slightly and replied.
"To be honest, I'm not sure, but I have to give it a try. I won't lose anything if I succeed."
"So you are betting that they still have a conscience. I think you will definitely lose everything this time."
Yue Wushuang couldn't help but sigh, but Yun Yan didn't think so and just listened to him explain with a smile.
"A Guyuan Dan is worth tens of thousands of gold. I spend millions of gold at a time to make such an attempt. Of course I can't place my hope entirely on their conscience."
Qing Pheasant asked curiously upon seeing this.
"How to say?"
Yun Yan glanced in the direction of Zhentian Palace, and then replied meaningfully.
"There is absolutely no need for Tianhai Guxin to stay in seclusion for thirty years at a time, and she does not have the ability. But even so, she is unwilling to leave Zhentian Palace, so the only explanation is that she is running away from something or someone. "
"You mean there is a rift between Tianhai Guxin and Long Xiaotian? But how did you know about such a secret thing?"
Yun Yan then said with a smile.
"Because in the martial arts challenge just now, Tianhai Guxin shouldn't have been defeated so easily. Maybe she was too impatient and wanted to let me understand her intentions as much as possible. It's also possible that she did this on purpose. , in order to let Long Xiaotian know that they are not puppets and will not be completely manipulated by others."
Hearing this, Yu Ruyi suddenly smiled.
"You are really smart, you almost deceived me."
Yue Wushuang asked with a blank look on his face.
"What on earth are you talking about? Why can't I understand a sentence?"
Just listen to Yun Yan explain.
"With Tianhai Guxin's cultivation, even without Kunpeng's help, she can fight with me for dozens of rounds. Of course, this is on the premise that no one shows their last move.
But when she joined forces with Kunpeng, she suddenly lost to me, and she didn't hesitate to take a shot from Kunpeng for this, which was obviously very unreasonable.
I believe that Long Xiaotian also saw some clues at the time, so I had to cooperate with their plan, but in the end Long Xiaotian still chose to give in, so he blocked my sword. "
"What if Long Xiaotian didn't take action at that time?"
"Then I will listen to you and stop at the last moment. This is also logical, isn't it?"
Yun Yan then turned to look at Ye Erniang beside her, and saw Ye Erniang smiling slightly.
"Why are you always so lucky? If I hadn't stopped you just now, wouldn't you have no excuse? What would you do then?"
After hearing this, Yun Yan replied helplessly.
"If even Long Xiaotian is sitting idly by, it means they have been abandoned. Therefore, even if I really kill them, it won't be a big problem."
"So that's the case, then they are really miserable."
Seeing that Ye Erniang was somewhat sympathetic to Tianhai Guxin, Yue Wushuang smiled curiously.
"Leader Ye was very decisive when he dealt with Tian Lifeng in the martial arts arena. Why is he so soft-hearted now for the sake of our enemy?"
"Leader Yue is laughing at this. If it weren't for Long Xiaotian's order, I wouldn't be willing to kill anyone again, let alone in front of Mr. Yun."
As she spoke, Ye Erniang couldn't help but look at Yun Yan, and when Yue Wushuang saw this, he immediately understood what she meant and saw him smiling proudly.
"Haha, I'm just saying, there must be problems between you two, but I agree with this and I'm optimistic about you."
Ye Erniang asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"what are you talking about?"
"Of course it's you and Yun Yan. I asked him just now what his relationship with you was, but he still didn't admit it. Now that you've confessed honestly, I'm naturally relieved."
Only then did Yun Yan and Ye Erniang understand what Yue Wushuang meant, and Ye Erniang quickly shook her head and explained.
"Master Yun and I are not what you think. In fact, we have known each other since we were on the Night Continent. If it weren't for his help, I probably wouldn't have come to the Sky City.
Therefore, I am very grateful for Mr. Yun’s help. Since then, I don’t like killing people for no reason..."
Before Ye Erniang could finish speaking, Yue Wushuang continued.
"Isn't that right? I also promised Xiao Yu not to kill anyone again. Therefore, I have rarely participated in the hunting missions in the palace these years. Do you know why?"
"Well......"
Ye Erniang turned her gaze to Yu Ruyi with a speechless expression. It could be seen that no one except her could control Yue Wushuang's mouth.
However, Yue Wushuang refused to shut up at this time and continued.
"You guessed it right again, it's because of Xiao Yu, so you don't have to hide it anymore, just say it if you like it.
Just like me, although I have been rejected by Xiao Yu for decades, I will not give up unless Xiao Yu marries someone else. Well...she will not marry anyone else. She actually has something in her heart. Mine, I'm just embarrassed to admit it. "
When Yu Ruyi heard this, her face turned darker than the bottom of the pot, and she said in a cold tone.
"If you don't shut your mouth, I'll make you look good."
Sure enough, Yu Ruyi was Yue Wushuang's nemesis. When he saw Yu Ruyi's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Yue Wushuang didn't dare to say a word anymore.
Then, Yu Ruyi turned her eyes to Yun Yan and Ye Erniang and said.
"That's the kind of person he is. He always talks nonsense. Don't mind it."
Seeing this, Yun Yan could only reply with a dry smile.
"It doesn't matter, Leader Yue is straightforward, so there were misunderstandings, including between me and Su Xuan. In fact, it was not what he guessed.
Of course, I don't mean to be arrogant when I say this, but we should all be more cautious about matters related to our daughter's family name. "
Yu Ruyi couldn't help but sigh after hearing the words.
"You are really attentive. If he were half like you, I wouldn't be so angry."
Yue Wushuang, who had reached the limit of holding back, couldn't help but interject.
"You're talking about cultivation, right?"
Yu Ruyi rolled her eyes at him and continued to talk to Yun Yan.
"Then what are you going to do next? Zhongqi Palace cannot move in at all now. If each palace divides some of its powers to Zhongqi Palace in accordance with the alliance rules, you must give them a place to stay."
Qing Pheasant also said.
"Ruyi is right. Now that Zhongqi Palace has been reopened, you must turn over the income to Tianque headquarters in accordance with the rules, and there is still a lower limit for this income."
Yun Yan had just taken over Zhongqi Palace, and he knew nothing about these things, so he asked in confusion.
"What is the lower limit of income?"
Just listen to Qing Pheasant explain carefully.
"It's like this. According to the rules of the Kyushu Alliance, each palace must pay a certain amount of resources as tribute to the headquarters every year. If the resources are not enough, they can be replaced with gold coins of the same value.
However, no matter how much each palace earns every year, the value of the tribute paid to Tianque cannot be less than 50 million gold. This value is called the lower limit of income.
However, this year's due date has passed, so you still have plenty of time to prepare next year's tribute resources. "
After hearing Qing Pheasant's explanation, Yun Yan nodded slowly and asked.
"Who made this rule?"
Qingzhi replied cautiously.
"It's the Martial Arts Hall. You should have heard that the Martial Arts Hall is the master of the entire Sky City. It is also the head of the three forbidden areas.
Compared to the Valley of the Dead, which is mired in violence, and the void of overseas secrets, the Martial Arts Hall pays more attention to power and interests.
Therefore, they set a series of rules throughout the Sky City. These rules are ultimately implemented by the various levels of branches set up by His Highness the Martial Arts Palace, and Tianque is the executive headquarters of the Martial Arts Palace in our area. "
"So that's it. The so-called Tianque Envoy is also a minion of the Martial Arts Hall."
Yun Yan's inadvertent words made everyone tremble. After all, they knew better than Yun Yan how serious the consequences of contempt for the Martial Arts Hall would be.
But Qing Pheasant sighed and said.
"Master Yun, please don't say things like this casually in the future, otherwise you may be killed."
Yun Yan nodded slowly and replied.
"I see."
