Chapter 112

Once Liang Shitong finished saying this, Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda were instead stifled until their faces were red, unable to retort.

This sounded very unreasonable at first.

But thinking about it carefully, it was truly impeccable.

—If I don't protect my own, should I protect you? Then isn't this master's position in vain?

Since he's already protecting his own, how can one refute it?

"Hmph..." Wei Chuan only stubbornly said after a long while, "I didn't expect Master Liang to be this kind of person, but even if you want to stand for the Bai Family, so what? Our Tianxiang Sect is not afraid!"

Jiang Jianda also put on an arrogant look and said: "Alchemist, who isn't one? My, Jiang Jianda's, alchemy grade is not lower than yours, and I also have a call that brings a hundred responses!"

Just at this moment, a loud laugh appeared in the crowd:

"Hahaha, the Tianxiang Sect is not afraid? Then what if the Shao Family of Haicheng is added?"

Everyone followed the sound and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised:

"Eh? This person... isn't he the Young Master of the Shao Family?"

"I remember now, Shao An, his talent is quite good, and he was long ago designated as the heir."

"Although the Shao Family is not the top family in the Southern Region, they are definitely in the second tier, and their strength cannot be underestimated."

"The Shao Family and the Bai Family have never had any intersection before, why would Shao An stand out?"

Under everyone's gaze, Shao An walked out with big strides and said with a smile: "I am a close friend of Young Master Yang, and we have a life-and-death friendship; if he wants to clash with the Tianxiang Sect, our Shao Family will unconditionally stand on his side!"

As he spoke, he came to Yang Yu and extended his palm.

"Brother Shao, you're a real one." Yang Yu high-fived him, expressing gratitude and trust.

He and Shao An had just met; Shao An coming to attend the wedding feast and bringing a generous gift was already giving him a lot of face.

Shao An didn't need to drag the Shao Family into this; after all, the risk was too great.

"Brother Yang is too polite," Shao An said frankly, "I am doing this not only because of our relationship, but also because I want to take a gamble with the family. The Shao Family is in a mediocre position; if we want to become a thousand-year family... I feel the opportunity lies with you."

Yang Yu smiled slightly, noncommittal.

This Shao An is loyal, smart, and bold enough; he is indeed worth deep friendship.

"Lunatic, truly a lunatic; for the Shao Family to have a young master like you, it's truly unfortunate! Your reckless personality is destined to bring a catastrophe to the Shao Family!"

Wei Chuan was so angry his teeth itched.

The grudge between the Tianxiang Sect and the Bai Family, why are you Shao Family people getting involved?

As annoying as it gets!

"The future of the Shao Family doesn't need Elder Wei's evaluation," Shao An said loudly, "I am willing to bet everything on Yang Yu, so naturally, I can accept any outcome."

Jiang Jianda snorted coldly: "Hmph, forget it, the Shao Family is just a second-rate family; even if you collude with the Bai Family, so what? What does the Tianxiang Sect have to fear?"

As the words fell!

A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes stood up from the VIP seats and laughed loudly:

"Then what if this Prince also wants to watch the excitement?"

The person speaking was precisely the Prince of the South, Li Zhen!

Li Zhen's precious daughter is Yang Yu's junior sister.

He naturally didn't miss this wedding feast.

Moreover, he had a very good impression of Yang Yu.

So he stood out at this time.

"What?"

"Even the Prince of the South wants to get involved in this?"

"If so, the Tianxiang Sect is in danger."

Everyone sighed endlessly.

The Bai Family plus Liang Shitong, plus the Shao Family, was already enough to give the Tianxiang Sect a headache.

Now that the Prince of the South has come, what does the Tianxiang Sect have to "destroy the Bai Family"?

Although the Prince of the South doesn't have his own force, he is a member of the Imperial Clan after all, and he has raised many experts in his mansion.

Furthermore, the Prince of the South has the authority to mobilize the troops of the Southern Region.

The individual strength of ordinary soldiers in the army is certainly not as good as sect disciples, but they have the advantage of numbers...

If the Prince of the South really mobilized a large army, what could the Tianxiang Sect use to block it?

Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda also understood this point and couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle, thinking:

This is really f*cking annoying.

Originally, they just wanted to force the Bai Family to compensate for the precious blade; how did it develop into this situation?

Should they just admit defeat?

Definitely not.

If they admitted defeat directly, the Tianxiang Sect would lose all face, their prestige would be gone, and how would they recruit people in the future?

Thinking of this, Wei Chuan bit the bullet and began to reason:

"Your Highness, this is a private matter between the Tianxiang Sect and the Bai Family... The Xia Emperor has set rules that the Imperial Clan cannot participate in power struggles. As the Prince of the South, do you want to publicly help the Bai Family and defy the rules of the Imperial Clan?"

Jiang Jianda followed up: "That's right, members of the Imperial Clan have constraints on their actions. Your Highness has guarded the Southern Region for many years; you shouldn't do anything that oversteps the rules, right?"

Both felt that these words were enough to corner the Prince of the South.

The ancestral regulations cannot be changed.

If you, Li Zhen, admit that you are a member of the Imperial Clan, you shouldn't intervene in this matter.

Once you intervene, you are breaking the rules, and that is treason!

Li Zhen heard this and didn't hesitate at all, asking back: "Who said I want to help the Bai Family? As a member of the Li Imperial Clan, how could I mobilize troops because of a private matter?"

"Ah?" Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda were stunned.

Li Zhen continued: "I didn't say I wanted to help the Bai Family either, I just said... I'm watching the excitement. As for how your Tianxiang Sect wants to deal with the Bai Family, please feel free."

Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda didn't feel relieved; instead, they felt even more like crying.

If Li Zhen had quibbled a few times, that would have been a good thing.

But Li Zhen said directly he wouldn't intervene.

That was what was scary.

Saying "just watching the excitement," who knows what he's doing in the dark?

Even if Li Zhen doesn't mobilize a large army, secretly lending the Bai Family a batch of experts from the Prince's Mansion would be enough for the Tianxiang Sect to suffer.

"Hahaha, I'm not that close to Yang Yu either, it's just that my daughter is his junior sister."

Li Zhen added another sentence deliberately.

Wei Chuan complained bitterly in his heart: Li Zhen, you old fox, the more you say that, the more uneasy people feel. Helping in the shadows is more disgusting than helping openly!

"Old Wei, this..."

Jiang Jianda also had a headache and looked at Wei Chuan.

The two of them already regretted it.

If they had known, why ask for the precious blade...

Suddenly, another laugh appeared.

Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda were almost crying: nothing good ever happens.

Sure enough, another big shot stood out.

The Pavilion Master of the Baibao Pavilion, Lu Xiuyuan!

"I didn't expect Pavilion Master Lu to come to attend Yang Yu's wedding feast too."

"This is his first time attending such a private wedding."

"The Baibao Pavilion is a purely commercial organization; it's impossible for them to stand for the Bai Family too, right?"

"Hard to say... not long ago, when the Ximen Family fought the Bai Family, Pavilion Master Lu intervened."

"Wasn't that a coincidence? I heard it was because his beloved disciple Li Wei died, and the Pavilion Master went to avenge Li Wei."

"That's what they say, but it's too coincidental."

"Shh... don't guess randomly."

The guests whispered again.

Wei Chuan was almost numb and laughed dryly: "Pavilion Master Lu, what do you want again? The Baibao Pavilion wouldn't also be an enemy of the Tianxiang Sect, right?"

"Ah? Of course not, our Baibao Pavilion has always been neutral," Lu Xiuyuan said with certainty.

"Then what are you here for?" Wei Chuan was confused.

Lu Xiuyuan said lightly: "I just simply want to say that my private friendship with Yang Yu is quite good."
