The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 865: Chapter 864: Seeking Ye Qingtian

Even if he really could put aside his pride to discuss with Su Changfeng, Su Changfeng might not be in the mood to negotiate with him.

”Is there really no way out now?” Ye Litian asked through gritted teeth. He had forged the golden era of the M Country Ye Family single-handedly and definitely did not want to watch that glory be destroyed by his own doing. These were the achievements he had fought for most of his life.

”There is still one way: to find that person,” Ye Chenyu said.

That person?

That person!

Ye Litian’s expression tightened.

Ye Qingtian, yes, if they could find Ye Qingtian, there would be a turning point in the situation.

”But using Ye Qingtian to threaten Su Changfeng, are you sure that would work?” Ye Litian asked uncertainly.

Ye Chenyu smiled helplessly. Although he mentioned finding Ye Qingtian, it wasn’t to use him to coerce Su Changfeng; it was to turn hatred into friendship with Ye Qingtian. As long as Ye Qingtian no longer held a grudge against the M Country Ye Family, he could persuade Su Changfeng not to seek revenge.

Regrettably, Ye Litian obviously hadn’t thought along those lines. His first thought was to just capture Ye Qingtian; it was truly a big joke.

”Do you think we still have the right to capture Ye Qingtian now? If we do, it would only further infuriate that guy, Su Changfeng,” Ye Chenyu said.

It’s not about capturing Ye Qingtian?

Ye Litian looked at Ye Chenyu in confusion. Apart from what was just said, he couldn’t figure out what Ye Chenyu meant with his earlier words.

If they couldn’t capture Ye Qingtian, then what else could they do by seeking him out?

”What exactly are you talking about?” Ye Litian asked, puzzled.

Ye Chenyu sighed helplessly and said, ”You can no longer carry yourself as arrogantly as before. You should lower yourself to handle this matter. I suggested finding Ye Qingtian so that you two could have a conversation to resolve years of grudges, and then let Ye Qingtian persuade Su Changfeng to spare us.”

”I would never do such a thing.” Ye Litian’s first thought was refusal, and he declined very decisively.

Negotiation, in his view, was a big joke.

He had previously severed ties with Ye Qingtian directly, even forcing him to kneel. Ye Qingtian was forced to leave M Country because of Ye Litian’s higher status.

Moreover, Ye Litian always thought that Ye Qingtian was beneath him. So why should he negotiate with someone inferior?

”Is it because you have always felt superior to Ye Qingtian?” Ye Chenyu asked, somewhat helplessly.

”In my eyes, Ye Qingtian is just useless trash. That’s an unchangeable fact with any matter. Yet now you ask me to negotiate with that trash, Ye Chenyu, are you forgetting your identity and status?” Ye Litian coldly looked at Ye Chenyu as he spoke.

Ye Chenyu had returned to Ye Litian after leaving Tuo Shi out of gratitude; without Ye Litian, he wouldn’t be who he was today.

Hence, Ye Chenyu was especially grateful, willing to dedicate his life to protecting Ye Litian.

However, at this point, Ye Chenyu no longer had the strength to protect Ye Litian. Put simply, he no longer possessed the qualification to protect him. When facing Elder Wu, all he could do was sit and wait for death.

”I can die with you, if you wish.” Ye Chenyu said calmly.

Ye Litian flew into a rage, his face twisted as he got up close to Ye Chenyu, ”You are my bodyguard, Ye Chenyu, so you must ensure my safety, not ask me to humble myself to that trash in negotiation.”

”I will definitely fight for your safety with my life, rest assured about that.” Ye Chenyu said calmly. He could die, just as long as Ye Litian made the right choice.

Fighting for his life.

The implied meaning in those words was clear: even if he died, he still wouldn’t be able to protect Ye Litian. Ye Litian undoubtedly understood this but, for the sake of staying alive, does he really need to beseech Ye Qingtian?

If it were ten years ago, Ye Litian’s resolve would have been unwavering without the slightest hesitation.

But now, just thinking about his potential death and the eventual destruction of the M Country Ye Family because of him, Ye Litian hesitated greatly.

”Deep down, you know clearly that the only person who can change Su Changfeng’s mind is Ye Qingtian,” Ye Chenyu said.

Ye Litian didn’t say a word and went straight into his room.

For the sake of his pride, he definitely didn’t want to seek Ye Qingtian, but with his life now under threat, should he really risk his life rather than meet him?

A person lives but once, and though he didn’t have much time left, he surely didn’t want to end his life in this manner.

He fought half his life to build up the Ye Family, only to destroy it himself in the end; this was not something Ye Litian wanted to witness.

”Is there really no way out now?” Ye Litian murmured, sitting by his bed, his body stooped and appearing lifeless.

Meanwhile, Su Changfeng was troubled by An Yufei’s arrival. An Yufei had appeared out of nowhere and saved his life, and he ordered An Shiwen to act as his lackey. The more Su Changfeng thought about it, the more confused his mind became.

Could it be that An Yufei has connections with another realm?

But even if An Yufei indeed belonged to another realm, Su Changfeng didn’t believe he warranted such preferential treatment.

During his previous encounter with Wu Wen, even though he came out on top, it was a rather narrow victory, not enough to catch the attention of high-ranking individuals in another realm.

After An Shiwen left, Su Changfeng took out the Jade Pendant he had acquired from the Shangguan Family, which had the words ”Tuo Shi” engraved on it.

He had been suspecting that Tuo Shi was perhaps another realm’s alias, but without personally confirming it, everything was just his speculation.

”What kind of existence is Tuo Shi exactly? Could it be an extremely mysterious organization? If so, what purpose does such an organization serve?” Su Changfeng mumbled to himself.
