Tulip District Manor!

"How does he know about the Azure Dragon Tripod?" Liu Shixun was filled with surprise upon hearing what Liu Wenjian said.

The matter of the Azure Dragon Tripod within the Liu family has been the greatest secret between the Mu family and the Liu family for the past one or two hundred years. The Execution Order of the Qiu Mountain Sect is not a joking matter. If the Qiu Mountain Sect finds out that the Azure Dragon Tripod has been in the hands of the Liu family members for these one or two hundred years, it would surely lead to the family's destruction.

Liu Wenjian also found it unbelievable to see the surprise on his father's face, knowing that his father was always calm and unflappable, but today, such an expression appeared on his face.

"Father, could everything Ye Xiao said be true?" Liu Wenjian asked in disbelief.

If everything Ye Xiao said was true, then...

Liu Wenjian dared not imagine further. All along, they had such a sense of superiority in the Liu family, but if this were true, it would impose a great pressure and restraint on the Liu family.

Liu Shixun didn't want to believe it was true either, but in fact, it was undeniably true.

"The Execution Order is real, the Azure Dragon Tripod is real, and everything Ye Xiao told you is true as well," Liu Shixun said.

At this moment, Liu Wenjian least wanted to hear such words, but ultimately received confirmation from Liu Shixun.

"What shall we do then?" Liu Wenjian asked his father with some concern.

Liu Shixun also had a look of worry on his otherwise calm face. For many years, he had always maintained a composed demeanor, yet today, worry appeared on his face.

This was enough to prove how much this matter affected Liu Shixun.

After a long pause, Liu Shixun said, "Do as he says."

Upon hearing Liu Shixun's words, Liu Wenjian immediately added, "But Wenchao..."

"Chao'er is already dead. Do you want both you and me to die as well? You should be clear about what kind of sect the Qiu Mountain Sect is. Although they don't usually care about worldly matters, once their interests are touched, they are definitely wolves that eat people and don't spit out bones. Compared to the Qiu Mountain Sect, the Liu family is indeed too small," Liu Shixun said, somewhat helplessly.

"Father, once we compromise, we might be subject to Ye Xiao's control in the future," Liu Wenjian said.

"It's not that bad," Liu Shixun replied, "Isn't the Azure Dragon Tripod in Ye Xiao's hands now? The meaning of the Execution Order from the Qiu Mountain Sect is that anyone possessing the Azure Dragon Tripod is unforgivable and must die. Ye Xiao wouldn't be unaware of this. Of course, there is only one possibility, and that is if Ye Xiao belongs to the Qiu Mountain Sect. However, I believe he is not, because once the Qiu Mountain Sect knows the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Tripod, they would immediately inform the sect and wouldn't negotiate with you and me. After all, while the Azure Dragon Tripod is a peerless treasure, it is, for ordinary martial practitioners, worthless, as its function is limited to refining medicines."

Liu Wenjian sighed and said, "So, Ye Xiao intends to live and die with us together."

"Unless he is an Alchemist!" Liu Shixun said with a laugh, "If all the coincidences in this world happen to Ye Xiao, then we can only accept our fate."

As Ye Xiao said, in this world, enemies can become friends.

The Liu Shixun father and son had no room for maneuvering because not agreeing would lead to death.

So, the matter finally proceeded according to Ye Xiao's plan.

The story splits into two parts.

After leaving the pavilion, Ye Xiao immediately went to the residence of the Seven-colored Lamp.

At this moment, inside the living room!

"Did Ye Xiao miscalculate?" Cheng Yun couldn't help but say.

Cheng Yun's words actually echoed the thoughts of everyone present. Ye Xiao previously said the Liu family would send people to capture Fang Jing, but now it's almost an hour later, Ye Xiao hasn't returned, and there's no sound of fighting outside. After all, if the Liu family really came, Ye Xiao would definitely fight them.

The battle between Martial Artists might be undetectable to ordinary people, but fellow Martial Artists like Wang Luoxin, Cheng Yun, and Purple Flame would surely sense it.

After all, once Martial Artists fight and deploy Inner Power True Qi, it causes fluctuations in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Elements.

"Or perhaps, the Liu family people haven't arrived yet?" Purple Flame also said.

"Maybe!" Cheng Yun replied.

At this time, Xia Mingyue suddenly said, "Could it be that they won't come at all?"

Everyone fell into silence again.

They had been waiting in the living room all along, not daring to sleep or even leave the living room.

Suddenly, there was a 'knock knock knock' sound from the door.

Upon hearing the knocking, the five women were suddenly startled, each on guard.

"Stay here!" said Wang Luoxin, who had been silent all along.

Wang Luoxin became the leader of the Seven-colored Lamp not just by relying on her cultivation but more importantly, her courage as the boss.

Wang Luoxin walked to the door and asked softly, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Ye Xiao's voice came from outside the door.

When Wang Luoxin heard that the voice was Ye Xiao's, her heart suddenly felt much lighter, and she hurriedly opened the door.

Sure enough, Ye Xiao was standing at the door with a smile on his face.

"Resolved?" Wang Luoxin and Ye Xiao walked in, asking at the same time.

"Resolved!" Ye Xiao replied.

The same words confirmed from Ye Xiao's mouth finally put Wang Luoxin's anxious heart at ease.

"Ye Xiao!"

Everyone in the living room stood up, looking at Ye Xiao as he walked in.

Ye Xiao looked at everyone in the living room, gave a satisfied smile, then glanced at Wang Luoxin beside him, and said, "Not bad!"

Wang Luoxin was momentarily confused about what Ye Xiao meant, while Weiwei was taken aback.

Ye Xiao walked over to Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you back, and tomorrow we go to work as usual."

"Huh?" Ye Xiao's words surprised everyone present, and almost everyone thought, 'What's going on?'

At this time, even Xia Mingyue, who usually controlled her emotions well, couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and she said to Ye Xiao, "Is everything really okay?"

"Of course, you should know your husband's abilities quite well." Ye Xiao showed his usual playful and mischievous smile.

This was the first time Ye Xiao showed such a smile tonight.

Before this, Ye Xiao had always shown a level of seriousness he hadn't displayed before, even when smiling, there was still some solemnity on his face.

But now it was different. Ye Xiao seemed to have returned to his annoying yet charming self.

However, Ye Xiao claiming to be Wang Luoxin's husband in front of everyone made Xia Mingyue feel embarrassed, her face flushed, and she retorted, "Who...who's your wife?"

"You are, why? We have an agreement, you can't go back on your word." Ye Xiao said with an impish grin.

Xia Mingyue was momentarily speechless. Ye Xiao, this guy, could say anything, and to reason with him was futile.

"Is everything really okay?" Fang Jing also looked at Ye Xiao in surprise, while Wang Luoxin, Cheng Yun, and Purple Flame kept watching Ye Xiao, clearly puzzled by how everything could be fine just like that without a fight?

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Of course everything's fine, not only you but your mother and Liu Wenzhuo are fine too. Oh right, one thing, the Liu family will remain the same as before, but Liu Wenzhuo's freedom might be slightly better, of course, this is also conditional on Liu Wenzhuo cooperating with Liu Shixun and Liu Wenjian."

"You've reached some kind of agreement with them?" Fang Jing, being very smart, immediately said upon hearing this.

Ye Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, they agreed too."

"Didn't you kill Liu Shixun's son? How could he agree to something like this?" Fang Jing said, even more surprised.

For ordinary people, the pain of losing a child is irredeemable, after all, it's a matter of lineage.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "What about killing his son? Didn't I spare him? By the way, I need to mention, although I told you that you would control most of the Liu family's assets in the future, it might not be feasible right now."

Fang Jing said, "I never planned to claim those assets, besides, even if I got those assets, it would be just to manage them for you."

Ye Xiao chuckled again, lovingly telling Fang Jing, "You truly are my good wife, always thinking about your husband. I'm temporarily at a truce with Liu Shixun and his son, as for the future, let's see. I can assure you that letting my wife live in fear is not something that Liu Wenchao's life can compensate for."

Although Ye Xiao spoke with a lighthearted tone, no one present thought he was joking.

Ye Xiao didn't disclose what agreement he had reached with Liu Shixun and his son, after all, sometimes the less you know, the safer you are.

He hoped each of his confidantes would be happy and carefree.

Then, Ye Xiao left with Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing, heading directly to Xia Mingyue's place.

"Ye Xiao, have you been okay these past few days?" Walking along the path in Tulip District, Xia Mingyue couldn't help but show her concern for Ye Xiao.

"I've been fine!"

"What about that girl?" Xia Mingyue knew Ye Xiao had left to save another close confidante.

Hearing Xia Mingyue mention that girl, Ye Xiao couldn't help but look to the starry sky, wondering whether Lu Lu was now training on Cold Moon Mountain or missing him under the moonlight.

"A blessing in disguise, she will surely become an excellent Martial Artist." Ye Xiao said with a smile.

At this moment, Fang Jing suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, I have a question for you."
