Chapter 226: A Family Too Powerful!_1

"Ah..."

Chen Yu let out a sigh.

Yin Tian turned his head, looked at Chen Yu, and asked softly, "Do you know anything specific about that guy?"

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, Chen Yu shook his head slightly, "I don’t know, but I’ve heard that his family seems to have some connection with the Xia Family. They came over this time because they had heard that the Xia Family had encountered some trouble, so they sent someone to check on it."

"After that person arrived and saw that the Xia Family’s crisis had been resolved, he started to have improper thoughts about Nianbing."

Yin Tian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his face adopting a thoughtful expression.

After a while, Yin Tian stood up abruptly.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Yu looked at Yin Tian, puzzled, and asked out loud.

"To talk to Old Mr. Xia."

As Yin Tian spoke, he had already strode off.

Soon, Yin Tian found Old Mr. Xia and Old Madam Xia in the Xia Family’s drawing room.

The two were sitting together, drinking tea as if they had known Yin Tian would come, so they were waiting for him here in advance.

Yin Tian walked over briskly.

"You’re back, sit down."

Old Mr. Xia raised his hand, pointing to a chair on the side.

Yin Tian walked over to the chair and sat down, then he raised his head and looked at Old Mr. Xia, "What exactly is going on here?"

"Ah..."

Old Mr. Xia and Old Madam Xia exchanged glances, simultaneously letting out a light sigh.

Then they both raised their heads and looked at Yin Tian, "You see, my Xia Family was not originally from the provincial city, we are a minor clan from the Imperial Capital."

Old Mr. Xia slowly began to explain to Yin Tian, "In a place like the Imperial Capital, with its mixture of good and bad, not any clan can survive easily. The Xia Family also chose a backer to get by with difficulty in the Imperial Capital."

"Later, due to an accident, that family wanted to leave a way out for themselves and sent our Xia Family here to spread and flourish, and just like that many years have passed."

"In fact, our Xia Family has always been in touch with that family."

Old Madam Xia also began to speak slowly.

She had been the Family Head of the Xia Family for decades, so she knew much more, "Later, when that family won over their opponent, of course, they no longer needed to come to the provincial city for refuge."

"That family would occasionally help our Xia Family. This time, their original intent in coming was to help resolve our family’s issues, but once they saw that the Xia Family’s crisis had passed, they let it be."

"What exactly is the situation with that family?"

Yin Tian pressed for an answer.

"A very powerful clan, unlike ordinary families, they..."

Old Madam Xia began slowly, but stopped midway, appearing profoundly reticent.

Yin Tian blinked.

He understood the meaning behind Old Madam Xia’s words.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of extraordinary talents.

Just like him, just like his master.

It is because of this that many such families also exist in the world.

They have been around for a very long time, passing down from generation to generation, holding power and means that common folks have never wielded.

In fact, Yin Tian had already speculated as much.

When he knew that Xia Nianbing had been taken away because someone coveted her Fortune, he realized that the person who took Xia Nianbing was certainly no ordinary character.

If one did not have some means at their disposal, they probably wouldn’t have been able to discern these things.

"Then aren’t you worried about Nianbing?"

Yin Tian looked at Old Mr. Xia.

Old Mr. Xia had once even risked conflict with the main branch of the Xia Family for Xia Nianbing; how could he just watch Nianbing be taken away?

"Ah..."

Old Mr. Xia let out a sigh, lifted his head, and deeply looked at Yin Tian, "Actually... this is also what Nianbing wanted."

"Hmm?"

Yin Tian looked at Old Mr. Xia in surprise.

"The person heard about your situation and knew you’re not an ordinary person. He threatened that if Nianbing didn’t comply, he would take action against you. Moreover, he used the Xia Family as a threat..."

Old Mr. Xia’s words trailed off, but his message was crystal clear.

A part of the reason Xia Nianbing was taken away was because of him.

Yin Tian fell silent.

After a moment, he let out a wry smile, "That foolish girl..."

"But this is Nianbing’s own choice, you..."

Old Mr. Xia intended to console Yin Tian.

However, he stopped midway, unable to continue.

He still felt discontent.

Why should his granddaughter bear all this!

Just then, a person walked in from outside.

He appeared young, barely into his twenties, with an arrogant and haughty demeanor.

As he walked into the drawing room, he headed straight for Old Mr. Xia.

Seeing this, Old Mr. Xia quickly stood up, yielding his seat to the young man.

Then he turned his back to Yin Tian and gestured with his hand, signaling Yin Tian to leave quickly.

But the young man immediately noticed Yin Tian.
