When the Chen family guard came in and mentioned that Ye Xiao had arrived at the door.

Chen Maocai immediately stood up slowly.

"Father, you are..." Chen Zeming looked at Chen Maocai, slightly surprised and said.

Chen Maocai said, "An honored guest has arrived; we should go to welcome him."

Chen Zeming was indeed a bit surprised to hear this. However, on second thought, this was Ye Xiao, after all. At the same time, he was also a bit worried; he didn't know why Ye Xiao had come here today.

Chen Maocai, Chen Zeming, and Chen Cangyu, the highest leaders of the Chen family, came out together and slowly walked toward the gate of the Chen family estate.

At this time, Ye Xiao had also entered the gate and was walking toward the Chen family estate under the butler's guidance.

"Mr. Ye, I failed to welcome you from afar, my apologies!" Chen Maocai said with a smile as soon as he saw Ye Xiao.

One does not hit a smiling face. The three generations of the family came to welcome him, which was a great show of respect. Ye Xiao chuckled, cupped his hands in salute, and said, "Mr. Chen, you honor the junior too much."

"Please come inside!"

Then, accompanied by Chen Maocai himself, Ye Xiao and the others walked into the main hall of the Chen family.

This was Ye Xiao's second visit to the Chen family. The first time he came, it triggered a fierce battle. At that time, no one present would have thought that Ye Xiao would come to the Chen family in this manner today, and moreover, be received with such high honor by Chen Maocai, Chen Zeming, and Chen Cangyu.

"Mr. Ye, please sit at the head of the table!" Chen Maocai said with a smile to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "Mr. Chen, in your presence, how would a junior dare to be called Mr.? Please call me Ye Xiao; it makes us less formal."

"Grandfather, since Brother Xiao said so, it shows Brother Xiao's respect for you." Chen Cangyu hurriedly said with a smile.

Chen Maocai laughed heartily and said, "In that case, very well, Ye Xiao, please take a seat."

"Elder, I already said we shouldn't be too formal. If I take the main seat, wouldn't it make me, Ye Xiao, seem too ignorant of propriety? I'll pick my own spot!" Ye Xiao said, and directly sat down where Chen Cangyu had been sitting before, plopping down into the seat.

Chen Maocai laughed heartily and said, "Very well, very well, we are all one family, no need for formalities."

Everyone sat down, and Chen Maocai smiled at Ye Xiao and said, "I heard from Cangyu that you're here today because of the Zhao and Liu family matters, correct?"

"That's right!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, "In other words, there's something I still need to trouble Mr. Chen with today."

Chen Maocai chuckled and said, "Before that, there's something I want to ask, if I may."

"Please say whatever you wish, Elder." Ye Xiao said.

Chen Maocai said, "Feng Xinming seems to be missing. I wonder if this matter..."

"I killed him!" Ye Xiao said with a full smile, looking at Chen Maocai.

With Ye Xiao's words, not only Chen Maocai but also Chen Cangyu and Chen Zeming were slightly surprised. They had indeed suspected that Feng Xinming's disappearance might be related to Ye Xiao, but they didn't expect Ye Xiao to candidly admit to such an unbelievable fact.

Even Chen Maocai, who had always been quite composed, was stunned for a moment.

Feng Xinming was killed by Ye Xiao!

And now, Ye Xiao seemed perfectly fine. Could this not indicate Ye Xiao's strength?

"Mr. Chen, is there anything else you'd like to ask? I will speak without reservation." Ye Xiao said with a smile, looking at Chen Maocai.

Chen Maocai was momentarily stunned.

"No... nothing else." The only reason Chen Maocai could maintain his composure was because of his own strength.

But Feng Xinming was killed by Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao said it so casually.

What does this signify?

Feng Xinming's strength in the whole of Bird City was considered quite formidable. Even Chen Maocai dared not say that he could definitely kill Feng Xinming. However, now Feng Xinming was dead, at the hands of Ye Xiao, who was like a child in comparison to him.

Ye Xiao was satisfied with Chen Maocai's expression.

Because he had already anticipated that someone would ask this question and that such expressions would appear before he arrived.

"Now, can I express myself?" Ye Xiao said.

At this moment, most of Chen Maocai's composure had vanished. Looking at Ye Xiao, he said, "Of course."

Even Chen Zeming, who always maintained an unflappable demeanor, was now sweating on his forehead.

One should know that it was early winter now, yet he was sweating at this moment, a tension hard to articulate.

"I am not one to beat around the bush, so I'll be straightforward." Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Whether a Martial Artist or an ordinary person, at critical moments, they should stand with the right group. And now, the Chen family has reached the moment of such a decision."

Choose sides?

Chen Maocai, Chen Cangyu, and the others found Ye Xiao's words somewhat strange. Clearly, they were a bit unclear about what Ye Xiao meant. Aligning with a group, which group?

Ye Xiao had already anticipated these people's doubts. He smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's very simple: choose to support me or to overthrow me."

"Huh?" When Ye Xiao said these words, everyone was even more surprised.

Obviously, what Ye Xiao said today definitely had a certain meaning.

"Brother Xiao, the Chen family will certainly support you and always stand by your side," Chen Cangyu was the first to speak up.

"Yes, yes!" Chen Zeming quickly followed his son's words and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao and our Chen family are friends, now and in the future."

Ye Xiao did not look at Chen Cangyu and Chen Zeming, because he knew the person who could decide the fate of the Chen family had not spoken yet.

"I..." Chen Maocai also understood Ye Xiao's thoughts at this moment and decided to make a statement immediately.

But just at this moment, Ye Xiao suddenly said, "Wait a moment!"

"..."

At that moment, Chen Maocai, Chen Zeming, and Chen Cangyu all froze for a second. They all looked at Ye Xiao because, at this moment, they obviously wanted to know what Ye Xiao wanted to say!

"It's better to wait until I finish speaking before you take a stand, because I don't want you to regret it later." Ye Xiao looked at the Chen family grandfather, son, and grandson and said.

Chen Maocai, Chen Cangyu, and Chen Zeming immediately fell silent.

Apparently, Ye Xiao had spoken to their hearts. Being eager to make a statement was to let Ye Xiao know they were on the same side. However, if Ye Xiao was willing to speak in advance, they would naturally be happy because it would be more beneficial to them.

"Ye Xiao, just say whatever you have to say." Chen Maocai looked at Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao chuckled, his gaze passing over the faces of Chen Maocai, Chen Zeming, and Chen Cangyu.

"Let me tell you an impromptu story. Once upon a time, there were three people: Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu. Zhang San wanted to kill Wang Wu. Li Si agreed with Zhang San's decision and even wanted to help Zhang San kill Wang Wu. However, during the fight, Wang Wu and Zhang San were evenly matched, with no clear winner. In fact, Zhang San was beginning to lose. At that time, to save himself, Li Si changed his original intention and ambushed Zhang San!" Ye Xiao said this with an even broader smile on his face.

At this time, the Chen family grandfather, son, and grandson each had a darker expression than the last.

Is this a story? This is clearly deliberate on Ye Xiao's part.

"What do you think the ending of this story will be?" Ye Xiao looked at the three men with a smile.

"The result is, Zhang San killed Wang Wu and destroyed Li Si!"

This sentence appeared in the main hall, and the Chen family grandfather, son, and grandson all paused. However, at this moment, they felt something was wrong because the person who said this was not a man's voice.

"Yiyi!" Chen Cangyu immediately said in surprise when he saw the person who spoke.

The person who said this was none other than Chen Yiyi.

At this time, Chen Yiyi had already changed into a new outfit, and her eyes were no longer red.

Ye Xiao also looked at Chen Yiyi at this moment, and Chen Yiyi also looked at Ye Xiao.

"What a coincidence!" Ye Xiao looked at Chen Yiyi.

Chen Yiyi's expression was very calm as she looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Not a coincidence, this is my home."

"Well said, I was indeed presumptuous." Ye Xiao said, "However, your earlier answer may not necessarily be the ending of the story."

"I think it must be. The fickle one won't end well." Chen Yiyi said solemnly.

As soon as Chen Yiyi said this, Chen Maocai's expression darkened immediately.

However, Chen Yiyi did not look at anyone else at this time. Her eyes were still on Ye Xiao, and she continued, "But if you use this inferior story to test the Chen family, I think that's unreasonable."

"Yiyi!" Chen Maocai immediately glared at Chen Yiyi and said, "Is there a place for you to speak here? Withdraw!"

Ye Xiao, however, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, Yiyi is right. I am indeed asking you to make a choice. As I just said, I'm not someone who likes beating around the bush."

Ye Xiao's words were very simple and blunt, also very direct.

"Ye Xiao, regarding the Chen family's choice, I think it is enough for me to say so alone." Chen Maocai looked at Ye Xiao and said with a smile.

Ye Xiao shrugged and then sat down.

Obviously, Ye Xiao was allowing Chen Maocai to express his attitude.

"The Chen family and you, Ye Xiao, are friends now and will be so in the future, perhaps even closer, so no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, the Chen family will surely help you without hesitation. Of course, it goes both ways," Chen Maocai said seriously.

After hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Good, well said. With Mr. Chen's words, I'm relieved. In that case, I'll tell you something that concerns your lives and fortunes."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately held their breath and looked at Ye Xiao, not daring to be careless.

If their lives were gone, so would the Chen family.

Ye Xiao looked at everyone and said, "Tonight, before midnight, destroy the Zhao family. If the Liu family refuses to befriend us, wipe out the Liu family as well."
