Chapter 225: Killing Numerous Birds with One Stone
“Seventh Master, servant did all this for Master! Third Young Master has always been pampered, and a trip to Remainder Island wronged him. If both grandmasters find out, I’m afraid that they would think it was Master who didn’t take care of him well, that’s why your servant wanted to take revenge for the Third Young Master! I swear to god that all I say is true and there’s no lie!”
Looking at his leg being hugged and his pants being used to wipe In-Charge Bi’s mucus and tears, Ye Seventh Master shivered in disgust and kicked the in-charge away violently. “Get lost!”
“Aiyo!” The in-charge rolled a few time before stopping, then scrambled up and crawled back to Ye Seventh Master. “Seventh Master, Seventh Master!”
“Stop! Don’t come over!” Ye Seventh Master yelled.
In-Charge Bi stopped immediately. “Yes, yes.”
Ye Seventh Master sighed in relief and sat down slowly. “Ah Bi!”
“Servant is here.”
“These years, I have treated you well, haven’t I?”
“Yes, you definitely did.”
“Then why did you try to bootlick Xiao San’er?”
“Servant really only-”
“Speak the truth!” Ye Seventh Master yelled.
In-Charge Bi dared not deceive him anymore. He kneeled on the floor, so low that his head was going to be buried.
“Seventh Uncle, who angered you now?” A particular voice came from outside, and shortly, Ye Zhenyan entered.
Other than his pale face, he looked fine, as if he never experienced the traumatic events earlier.
Seeing him, Ye Seventh Master plastered a smile on his face. “Xiao San, why not get some rest when you’re still not feeling well?”
Ye Zhenyan looked down at In-Charge Bi. “It’s just a minor injury, no big deal. Seventh Uncle is the one that doesn’t look good! What did this slave do to anger Seventh Uncle?”
Being reminded of the matter, Ye Seventh Master gave In-Charge Bi a death glare. “This dog, he sent someone to capture that Missy whose surname is Lu. If he handled it properly, whatever, but he only sent one person to get her! He didn’t catch her, and that Missy embarrassed him! If I hadn’t made it on time, where would we put our face? Best of all, that Yu Ruohan came to take that Missy back, so we don’t even have another chance to make a move!”
“Ah, that’s why Seventh Uncle is so angry. Nephew thought that it was because the in-charge didn’t know who his boss is!”
Ye Seventh Master bit his lips. “Why would I be mad about that? We’re both his boss. He’s right to take revenge for you, but this is just too ugly. I won’t let him off!”
Ye Zhenyan nodded. “Seventh Uncle is right. If he settled it, fine. Now, he has acted rashly and alerted the enemy. Ten deaths aren’t enough for him!”
“Servant knows my mistake, servant knows my mistake. Seventh Master and Third Young Master, please be lenient and spare this dog’s life!” The conversation made In-Charge Bi jump out of his skin and kowtow non-stop, pleading for them to spare him.
However, they both turned a blind eye to him.
Ye Seventh Master glanced over at Ye Zhenyan. “Xiao San, you want to get rid of her too?”
“Seventh Uncle thinks that I am a sore loser?” Ye Zhenyan replied coldly.
“Heh, of course not. You’re so smart, you’ll always do things with consideration.” Well, who the hell knows what you’re thinking?
Ye Zhenyan hummed. “It’s nothing if she defeats me, but Seventh Uncle should not forget that Jasper Sun Mountain...”
Ye Seventh Master’s expression changed. “You mean...?” He pondered for a while and looked back. “Can’t be, right? How could she know about that?”
“Is Seventh Uncle sure?”
Ye Seventh Master thought and looked at Ye Zhenyan, eyes widening with shock. “Oh no, the Bon Voyage Fleet...!”
“They haven’t had a good time these past few years,” Ye Zhenyan said calmly. “The last time Seventh Uncle went to discuss with them about taking in the fleet, they postponed it, didn’t they?”
Ye Seventh Master sneered. “So what if they postponed? How long can they take? Idiots.”
“It’s enough to say that they are still unwilling to give up. I remember that Old Sir Mao has been in seclusion training for years, hasn’t he?”
“Yes.”
“He wants to break through to the Assimilation Realm.”
“Hmph!” Ye Seventh Master looked at Ye Zhenyan proudly. “How is it so easy to breakthrough? They don’t have a blessed land, and...”
The last sentence wasn’t finished, as Ye Seventh Master thought of something. “Could it be...?”
“Seventh Uncle has noticed?” Ye Zhenyan stared at him. “You should know that, once Old Sir Mao reaches the Assimilation Realm, it will be impossible for us to swallow up the fleet.”
The Ye Family wasn’t so greedy to take them down when there was an Assimilation Realm present.
“At this point, the Bon Voyage Fleet would surely grab hold of this precious chance. Why would they not sell the information in order to achieve what they want?”
“...” Ye Seventh Master didn’t want to admit defeat, but the truth had to be said – he wasn’t as smart as Ye Zhenyan. He only thought about this possibility when he mentioned Yu Ruohan.
“So what do you think we should do?”
“We could have initially taken her down quickly,” Ye Zhenyan said coldly, before giving In-Charge Bi a death glare. “But now, thanks to this slave, it’s all gone.”
Just a glance made In-Charge Bi’s blood run cold, and chills ran down his spine. He immediately knew what trouble he had caused, and he dared not ask them to spare him anymore. He buried his head on the ground, not daring to look up.
I’m so done. With Third Young Master’s character, and now, I messed up such a big event, and I still want my life? It’s good enough if he only kills me....
“Third Young Master, Third Young Master!” Thanks to his reaction speed, which was fastest when he met with danger, In-Charge Bi immediately thought of an idea. “Servant here has an idea!”
“Oh?” Ye Zhenyan looked at him, half smiling. “Tell me about it. If it’s good, I may consider letting you off.”
“Pure White Grace Pavilion! We can win the Pure White Grace Pavilion over!”
“What nonsense is that? They aren’t the Bon Voyage Fleet, we can’t take them in.” Ye Zhenyan furrowed his eyebrows.
The Pure White Grace Pavilion had been making business for quite a while, and they had franchises in every one of the nine states. The Ye Family only had control over White Heron State; they weren’t capable enough to take the Pure White Grace Pavilion down. In fact, they wanted to team up with the other two great families and take it down.
“Third Young Master, please hear me out!” Afraid that his hopes would be crash, In-Charge Bi wailed. “The Pure White Grace pavilion is powerful and not as cooperative as the Bon Voyage Fleet, but we have people there.”
“So?”
“We can’t interfere with the Bon Voyage Fleet, but with the Pure White Grace Pavilion, we can. We only need to...”
After In-Charge Bi finished, Ye Zhenyan side-eyed him for a moment but remained silent.
In-Charge Bi looked at him, then at Ye Seventh Master. Both of their expressions were unreadable. Like a cat on hot bricks, he immediately added on. “Third Young Master and Seventh Master! If all this works, it would be settled even without us doing anything. The fleet’s hopes would be dashed, and they would have to come to us eventually. And the Pure White Grace Pavilion would lose trust.”
Ye Zhenyan smiled and patted him. “Well, this dog servant is quite smart, eh?”
Hearing this, In-Charge Bi released a stone in his heart. My life is saved. “Servant will go and get this done, and get it done perfectly!”
