The Fu Family's Place!

"Ye Xiao, what kind of spell did you cast on Fu Donglai? How come this guy is so obedient?" Jiang Miaoke chuckled as she spoke to Ye Xiao. She had been very scared before, after all, the Fu family was full of experts. If Ye Xiao made even the slightest mistake, he could end up staying with the Fu family forever.

Ye Xiao smiled but didn't speak.

Jiang Chuan said, "It seems Ye Xiao must have some leverage over Fu Donglai; otherwise, given Fu Donglai's arrogance, he would never let Ye Xiao off the hook easily."

"Oh?" Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Jiang Miaoke looked at Ye Xiao in surprise and said, "Ye Xiao, what leverage do you have on Fu Donglai? Spill it out."

Ye Xiao smiled but still said nothing.

At this moment, Jiang Zhongzheng looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, taking advantage of today's occasion when Fu Donglai cleared things up for you, you should get familiar with people from other families."

"Is that really necessary?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.

Jiang Zhongzheng said, "Of course, it's necessary. No matter how powerful a person is, they don't have three heads and six arms."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Understood, Uncle Jiang."

Just then, three or four people walked over from a distance.

"Those are people from the Liu family!" Jiang Chuan whispered.

Then, Jiang Zhongzheng and the others looked over, seeing Liu Shixun and Liu Wenzhuo leading, with Liu Wenjian and his brother following behind, walking towards the Jiang family group.

"Mr. Liu, we were just about to visit, but it seems you came here first." Jiang Zhongzheng cupped his hands and simply saluted, smiling as he spoke to Liu Shixun.

Everyone in Bird City knows that although Liu Wenzhuo is the eldest in the Liu family, the true power actually lies in Liu Shixun's hands. After many years of management, Liu Shixun is now completely in control of the Liu family, and Liu Wenzhuo doesn't dare challenge him.

So, Jiang Zhongzheng greeted Liu Shixun first.

Liu Shixun chuckled and said, "No need to stand on ceremony, Zhongzheng. It's truly my fault for not visiting the Jiang family lately."

Jiang Zhongzheng chuckled, then immediately turned to Ye Xiao beside him, saying, "Ye Xiao, this is Mr. Liu from the Liu family."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, then said, "The younger generation has met the Liu Clan Leader."

When Ye Xiao spoke, everyone present was stunned. No one had expected Ye Xiao would say such a thing. Most importantly, Ye Xiao was addressing Liu Wenzhuo, completely ignoring Liu Shixun.

Jiang Zhongzheng and the other members of the Jiang family were quite surprised by Ye Xiao, but then they smiled warmly at him, while Liu Shixun's face turned gloomy. Liu Wenjian and Liu Wenchao immediately glared at Ye Xiao and said, "Young man, ignoring my father like this is very impolite, don't you know?"

"I only know the family head of the Liu family is named Liu Wenzhuo; I don't know of anyone else." Ye Xiao spoke with a smile, looking at Liu Wenzhuo and said, "Mr. Liu, hello, I am Ye Xiao."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Liu Wenzhuo quickly said, "Ye Xiao, you are truly remarkable for someone so young, a rarity throughout history. Hello."

Although Liu Wenzhuo is the clan leader of the Liu family, Liu Shixun is the only person recognized by all of Bird City for the Liu family. Because, when it comes to all major and minor matters of the Liu family, they require Liu Shixun's nod. As for Liu Wenzhuo, well, he can only chuckle in response.

Ye Xiao looked at Liu Wenzhuo, who was somewhat tongue-tied, and smiled bitterly to himself. Is this due to being long oppressed by Liu Shixun? Then he immediately said to Liu Wenzhuo, "Mr. Liu, I feel a strong connection with you. I will certainly visit you someday."

"I shall certainly welcome you at my residence!" said Liu Wenzhuo.

Although unclear about Ye Xiao's intention, Jiang Zhongzheng quickly laughed and said to Liu Wenzhuo, "Liu Clan Leader, our two families should walk more closely in the future. Remember the times when your honored father was alive, we often visited each other."

Liu Wenzhuo said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely visit the Jiang family in the future to pay respects to Mr. Jiang."

"We await your distinguished presence." Jiang Zhongzheng chuckled warmly.

Wherever Liu Shixun went before, he could be said to be the emblem of the Liu family, but today he was treated like this. Because of Ye Xiao, Liu Wenzhuo, whom nobody cared about before, held a higher position than Liu Shixun today, which inevitably made Liu Shixun very displeased.

"Clan Leader, since you all enjoy your conversation so much, I won't disturb you." Liu Shixun snorted and turned to leave.

"Second Uncle!" Liu Wenzhuo called immediately, but Liu Shixun did not stop and directly left.

Liu Wenjian and Liu Wenchao also glared coldly at Liu Wenzhuo and followed Liu Shixun away.

At this moment, Liu Wenzhuo stood awkwardly, clearly showing that Liu Shixun was angry.

However, Liu Wenzhuo didn't want to leave. He knew that today Liu Shixun would act against him, so he wanted to stay with Ye Xiao because he felt that only Ye Xiao could save him.

"Mr. Liu, we still have to visit friends from other families, would you like to join us?" Ye Xiao said with a smile to Liu Wenzhuo.

Liu Wenzhuo didn't speak but was extremely hesitant.

Ye Xiao smiled, then pointed to the blue sky and white clouds above and said, "The sun is shining brightly today; I think nothing bad will happen, don't you agree, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Wenzhuo, listening to Ye Xiao's words, naturally understood that Ye Xiao was implying something, so he quickly said, "Of course, of course."

Then, Liu Wenzhuo hurriedly walked over to Liu Shixun and the others.

Once Liu Wenzhuo had left, Jiang Chuan immediately looked at Ye Xiao curiously and said, "Ye Xiao, why would you talk to Liu Wenzhuo and not to Liu Shixun? That's a big mistake. You have to know, Liu Wenzhuo is just a puppet of the Liu family, Liu Shixun is the real master of the Liu family. You missed a chance to connect with the Liu family this time."

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Do you know about the founding Emperor Zheng Shuo and Emperor Xinkun of the Wen Dynasty?"

Jiang Chuan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, was instantly puzzled, not expecting Ye Xiao to suddenly speak of these far-off matters, and said, "Of course I know. One was the first emperor to enter the Pass in the Wen Dynasty, and the other was the longest-reigning, most strategically and militarily gifted emperor. But what does this have to do with the matter at hand?"

"Both these emperors had a common characteristic; in their youth, they wielded no power and yet had to contend with powerful ministers. However, they both triumphed. Do you know why?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Jiang Chuan became even more puzzled and asked, "Why?"

At this moment, Jiang Zhongzheng interjected, "Because they were legitimate."

"Haha, Uncle Jiang is indeed clever," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Jiang Chuan, hearing this, once again looked at the departing Liu Wenzhuo.

"You mean to say Liu Wenzhuo might also have a day when he rises again?" Jiang Chuan asked in disbelief.

"Haha, nothing is absolute, but he has one major advantage, which is that he is the legally recognized Clan Leader of the Liu family," Ye Xiao replied.

"Perhaps, this Liu family could also become a second Fu family," Jiang Zhongzheng said leisurely.

Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Zhongzheng, gave a light smile, and said, "Uncle Jiang, it's best to see through things but not to say it aloud, otherwise, it's not fun."

Jiang Zhongzheng smiled faintly and said, "The Li family is over there, let's have a chat."

Hearing Jiang Zhongzheng's words, Ye Xiao also naturally looked over to the Li family, only to see Li Siqi looking in this direction.

As Ye Xiao looked towards the Li family, his gaze met with Li Siqi's. Ye Xiao blinked and threw a charming wink at Li Siqi.

Li Siqi immediately frowned.

However, just then, Ye Xiao noticed a girl walking over to stand beside Li Siqi, also looking at Ye Xiao.

Li Sitong?

Ye Xiao smiled wryly; why was this girl here too?

Then, Ye Xiao followed Jiang Zhongzheng, Jiang Chuan, Jiang Miaoke, and a few Jiang family attendants towards the Li family.

"Brother Jiang, it's been a while,"

As soon as Jiang Zhongzheng approached, Li Boliang, the representative of the Li family, smiled and said to Jiang Zhongzheng.

Subsequently, Jiang Chuan and Jiang Miaoke politely greeted Li Boliang, "Hello, Uncle Li."

While Li Siqi and Li Sitong said to Jiang Zhongzheng, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."

"So this Mr. Ye is a friend of Brother Jiang," Li Boliang laughed and said to Jiang Zhongzheng.

Jiang Zhongzheng said, "Ye Xiao is a distant nephew of mine. This guy is a bit troublesome, so I'm introducing him to Brother Li, hoping you can look after him a little."

"So he's Brother Jiang's nephew. Since he is Brother Jiang's nephew, he is also a nephew of mine, Li Boliang. Ye Xiao, if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Li," Li Boliang, being of a more straightforward nature, said.

Ye Xiao promptly gave Li Boliang a respectful salute and said, "Uncle Li, it's an honor for this nephew to receive your care."

"Flattery!" Li Siqi said disdainfully, pouting.

Li Boliang didn't expect his daughter to say such a thing and quickly pretended to be angry with Li Siqi, "Qiqi, watch your words."

Ye Xiao quickly said with a smile, "Uncle Li, please don't scold Qiqi, I indeed spoke with some flattery, so Qiqi was right to say so. However, Qiqi being able to point it out in one sentence shows quite a high IQ."

"Even a fool could see that, come on," Li Siqi disdainfully said to Ye Xiao again, "Hmph, do I need you to comment on my IQ?"

Li Boliang felt slightly embarrassed at this moment, as Ye Xiao had been speaking nicely, yet Li Siqi kept making sarcastic remarks. After all, Jiang Zhongzheng had just mentioned that Ye Xiao was his distant nephew. Although it's hard to say if it's true, since he said it, the courtesy must be given.

"Qiqi, what's wrong with you? Why are you so rude? Apologize to Ye Xiao," Li Boliang, though doting on his daughter, felt the need to say something concerning face.

However, how could Ye Xiao bear to see Li Siqi unhappy? He quickly said to Li Boliang, "Uncle Li, don't scold Qiqi anymore. Besides, it's something she wants to say and I am willing to listen, so it's not considered rude. Don't you agree?"
