“It seems that the two of you came prepared. In that case, let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point.”
Although Madam Ye Xiaoxiao also has long blue hair, she doesn't use it to conceal her appearance like Ye Lingling. Instead, she gives people a dignified and generous feeling.
As the head of a clan, she also exudes a decisive attitude and temperament, which gave Quan Yi a deeper impression of her.
“Very well, let's discuss the following matters in our room.”
Quan Yi and Huowu opened the door to welcome the two new distinguished guests.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Qi Feng exchanged a glance, and then looked at Ye Lingling.
The look in their eyes towards their daughter was so gentle, but when they looked at Quan Yi, it turned into a kind of determination.
Having made some kind of decision in their hearts, the two resolutely walked into the room with Ye Lingling.
Inside the brightly lit room, everything was so clear.
Around the table in the center of the room, five chairs were neatly arranged, and five cups of tea had already been placed on the table.
This scene seemed familiar, but also somewhat different.
Seeing the prepared seats, Ye Lingling was even more amazed by Quan Yi.
With a simple change of perspective, she and her partner, without meeting the two of them, would not have been able to determine the exact number of people.
At least in terms of perception ability, they were far inferior to the other side.
After the five people were seated in an orderly manner, Ye Xiaoxiao's first sentence was to praise Quan Yi and Huowu.
“Truly, heroes emerge from youth. It's no wonder you are the two youngest Soul Sages in history.
As far as I know, the two of you are younger than Lingling, yet you have achieved such accomplishments. It truly makes us old folks feel ashamed.”
Ye Xiaoxiao was clearly praising them with a smile, but Quan Yi heard more of a wariness in her words.
Ye Lingling, caught in the middle, wanted to say something to explain, but her hand hidden under the table was tightly held by Qi Feng beside her.
He was signaling his daughter not to speak.
While confirming that Ye Lingling was fine, they also learned the general situation.
However, precisely because of this, facing the powerful force formed by the Quan and Huo families, the Ye family had to maintain a cautious attitude.
At this, Quan Yi couldn't help but laugh.
“Haha, didn't Clan Leader Ye say to get straight to the point? Why have you become so coy once we're inside?”
The two young Soul Sages were indeed astonishing, but in terms of status, they were ultimately just juniors, not clan leaders equal to Ye Xiaoxiao.
Did the Quan and Huo families think that they could easily recruit the Ye family by simply sending two juniors?
Ye Xiaoxiao's sensitive point was here.
This seemingly insignificant matter concerned the face of the Ye family at best, and at worst, it concerned how important the Ye family was in their eyes.
However, this, in turn, actually revealed a hint of Ye Xiaoxiao's willingness to talk with the Quan and Huo families.
After all, she had just learned about the third Nine Heart Begonia.
If she didn't know Ye Lingling's personality, and if she hadn't felt the changes coming from her martial soul, she would never have believed such a fantastic thing.
However, if all of this was true, then their long-dormant Ye family might rise on the wind because of it.
This matter concerned the fate of the family, so she couldn't help but be cautious.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to continue the conversation, Quan Yi also roughly understood the other party's intention.
His expression also became more and more domineering as Ye Xiaoxiao asked her question.
“Sincerity, hmm, Clan Leader Ye seems to have misunderstood something.
It is precisely because we two came to invite you in person that we can show the utmost sincerity to the Ye family.”
Quan Yi's sonorous and forceful answer stirred up huge shock in the hearts of the other two elders.
This arrogant and unparalleled remark should have made them extremely angry.
However, at the same time that Quan Yi said this, the eyes of the two people in front of him were as still as an ancient pool, without the slightest fluctuation.
That look was like saying a common greeting.
The strong contrast between words and eyes instead gave Ye Xiaoxiao and Qi Feng a huge impact.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt her breathing become rapid, and Qi Feng's instincts as a warrior warned him to stay away from the two people in front of him.
The entire space in the room fell into a deathly silence.
Quan Yi didn't plan to drag it out any longer. He didn't give the other party time to adapt, and continued to attack:
“The two of you should have learned from Ye Lingling that I have already solved the problem of the Nine Heart Begonia curse.
However, let me add a little more completely. I only solved the problem that the three generations of the Nine Heart Begonia cannot be in the same hall.
The limitation on the number of Nine Heart Begonia martial souls still exists.
If we want to completely solve the problem of the martial soul, perhaps we still need mutual cooperation and more in-depth research.
It's just a pity that we will be returning to Vast Sea City in a while, and we will basically not return to the mainland again.”
Quan Yi's words almost brought coercion and inducement to the extreme.
The corners of his mouth even curled up in a sly smile.
At this, Ye Xiaoxiao was first stunned, and then, like a dignified lady, she raised her hand and lightly covered her mouth, smiling happily.
“What an interesting young man. Who threatens people like you?
You have already helped us solve the most serious problem. What if the following problems cannot be solved?
Aren't you afraid that we will directly refuse?”
Until just now, Ye Lingling, who was feeling cold in her heart because of the sudden turn of events, suddenly showed a look of realization on her face when she heard her mother's words.
She hurriedly looked at Quan Yi, waiting for his reply.
Quan Yi showed a look of being exposed and explained: “If you want to invite other families, of course you have to show our sincerity.
However, how can we truly express our sincerity?
For the Ye family, since solving the curse is the biggest problem, then we will express our sincerity by solving the problem.
As for whether you will refuse the invitation afterwards, we can discuss the conditions at that time.
Of course, if you still disagree, then just treat it as making friends, and we won't be stingy to find trouble with you again.”
Ye Xiaoxiao had never seen such a generous person. The conditions that ordinary people could use to manipulate the entire Ye family were actually used as a stepping stone and thrown into the house.
Moreover, judging from Quan Yi's attitude, it was clear that he still held many 'bricks' of the same weight in his hand, waiting to be thrown.
However, this had not yet overwhelmed Ye Xiaoxiao's mind.
She barely maintained her precarious line of reason and asked: “What exactly do you want for giving so much?”
She asked this question because she felt it was not worth it for Quan Yi.
At this, Quan Yi was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: “What I want is only one word.
That is loyalty.”
