opinion, even just looking at the price of the land and property wouldn't justify the value of these broken needles."You don't have a clue." Wang Xuandé angrily rebuked him. "I told you to read more...Ximen Fenglei said, "In that case, we need to hurry."

"It is imperative to act promptly; delay will only lead to complications."

Ximen Fengyun looked at the butler again: "Where's that old nun Is she with him"

He now greatly fears Master Qingye, a martial artist at the peak of the Heaven Rank, capable of changing the tide of battle.

The steward said, "No, that old nun went to the Changsun family along with Changsun Dongju and all the other women."

Ximen Fengyun commanded, "Immediately contact our informants in the Dongfang and Changsun families. Keep a close eye on that old nun and Ye Bufan. Report any changes immediately."

"Yes."

The steward replied and turned to attend to the matter.

Ximen Fengyun burst into laughter. "What a stroke of luck! Ye Bufan has delivered himself to death, he didn't expect our Ximen family would strike first."

Ximen Fenglei asked, "Which one should we attack first, the Dongfang family or the Changsun family"

"Of course, it's the Eastern family. Now that the Changsun family has Changsun Wugong and that old nun there, we can't possibly gain any advantage."

"Conversely, the Eastern family only has one, Dongfang Qitian. While our Ximen family has both you and your third younger brother, we have more than enough to defeat them."

Ximen Fengyun was confident: "Alright, let's prepare right away. We'll make our move tonight."

But we absolutely must keep it secret. Even our own West family can't guarantee that we won't be watched by their people. We must make sure the message doesn't leak out.

Hearing this news, although Ximen Yuliang and Ximen Yujiao were beaten like pigs' heads, their eyes still flashed with excitement. They could finally get revenge.

The Sima family, after nightfall, Sima Wei hurried to the room of the head of the family, Sima Pingcuo.

She had originally gone out to carry out a mission. After receiving news that Ye Bufan was stealing the bride, she hurried back.

In the study, Sima Pingcuo was practicing calligraphy with a brush on rice paper.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

After Sima Wei entered the door, she said urgently, "Grandpa, I have something important to tell you."

Sima Pingcuo said: "You girl, you can't change this fiery temper of yours. Practice your calligraphy more in the future, it can make people's minds peaceful."

"Grandpa, did you go to the celebration at the Ximen family's today"

Sima Ping nodded, "I went, and watched a good show."

"Grandpa, I think this is a good opportunity. We should join forces with Xiao Fan and take down the Ximen family together."

"As long as we take care of the Ximen family, we can move up a level. We might even become the number one family in the imperial capital."

"Girl, that idea is too simple. It's not that easy."

The Ximen family has been powerful in the Imperial City for so many years. Now that Ximen Fengxue has stepped into the threshold of Tianjie's Great Accomplishment, such formidable strength is not something that can be destroyed by simply saying it.

Sima Wei said urgently: "But Xiao Fan is backed by the Changsun family. Shouldn't the combined strength of our two families be greater than that of a single Ximen family"

"Girl, I know you like that boy, but family matters can't be handled with emotions. One careless mistake could bring disaster to the Sima family."

In Sima Pingcuo's view, his granddaughter was completely acting like a little girl, wanting to help Ye Bufan vent his anger.

Sima Wei said urgently, "Grandfather, I really didn't mean that. Now is a good opportunity, our Sima family should seize it."

"Alright, I have a plan in mind," Sima Pingcuo said. "As for you, keep your distance from that boy. This time, provoking the Ximen family, it's not certain if you'll even be able to save your own life."

"Grandpa, can't you consider it just a little more"

"There's nothing to consider. The risk is too great. I can't gamble the fate of the entire family."

Sima Wei, seeing that she couldn't persuade him, could only leave helplessly.

"This girl is still too impulsive."

Sima Pingcuo shook his head, then picked up a brush. With strokes like dragons and snakes, he wrote the words "Watching the Tigers Fight from the Mountain" on a sheet of paper.

Meanwhile, in the study of the head of the Murong family, Murong Ping was standing beside his father, Murong Chengdu.

"Grandpa, I think this is an opportunity for our Murong family. We should seize it."

Murong Chengdu looked at his grandson and said, "What do you mean"

"Although I haven't spent much time with the Grand Instructor, I know he is definitely a man who can accomplish great things. I think our Murong family should join forces with him and work together to face the Ximen family."

"Child, you are still too young. Today Ye Bufan performed very well, but in the end he is still no match for a hundred-year-old family."

In my opinion, whether he can keep himself alive right now is a question.

"To team up with him is to invite trouble for ourselves. We might even anger the Ximen family and bring ruin upon our Murong clan."

"Grandpa..."

Before Murong Ping could say another word, Murong Cheng was waved off by his elder brother.

"You're still too young to see things clearly. Just stay home this time and don't get too close to him, or you might get burned."

Ye Bufan stayed at the Eastern Family and had dinner with Dongfang Jianye and his siblings.

During the meal, Dongfang Hui didn't say a word. He just ate silently and quickly put down his chopsticks before leaving.

After she left, both the father and son looked at Ye Bufan with strange expressions, which made him feel very depressed.

After dinner, Dongfang Renjie took him back to his room.

Closing the door, he said with a grimace: "Xiaofan, where are you and Hui Zhong at"

"What step"

"Don't act innocent, my sister was acting weird tonight. Did you do something to her"

"What do I have"

>>

"Don't tell me you were just chatting. If it was just chatting, my sister wouldn't be like this."

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan was speechless. How could he explain this

"No explanation needed, I understand."

The Oriental man, Zhang Jilu, wore an expression that all men would understand. “Xiao Fan, from now on, you’ll be my boss, how about it”

"One who offers unsolicited favors is either a thief or has ulterior motives. Come on, what do you want"

"Big Boss, you see this time I fully cooperated with you in the kidnapping. Whatever you asked me to do, I did it."

"What's your special skill"

"Of course, it's a surefire way to pick up women. Look at your girlfriends, each one prettier than the last. I'm so envious! This is the ultimate goal for men."

"Uh..." Ye Bufan felt a headache coming on, "What kind of unique skill is there"

"Boss, you're not being honest here. You can even handle my sister, so saying you have no tricks up your sleeve is just ridiculous."

For over twenty years, I've always thought that no man in the world could handle my sister, but you managed to do it.

The Oriental, Zheng Taotao was speaking eloquently when Ye Bufan suddenly changed his expression. "Someone's coming," he said.

At that moment, a booming voice echoed throughout the Eastern House.

"Eastern Construction, come out quickly, or your daughter will be dead soon."

In an instant, the entire Dongfang Family sprang into action. When Ye Bufan and Dongfang Renjie rushed out, Dongfang Jianye and Dongfang Qitian, accompanied by countless servants, had already arrived.

Opposite them, Ximen Fengyun led the charge, followed by Ximen Fenglei and Ximen Fengxue. Behind them stood hundreds of elite warriors from the Ximen family.

Most shocking of all, Ximen Feng Lei was holding a woman in his hand, pressing a long sword against her neck. It was Dongfang Huizhong.e Bufan immediately realized there was a secret here, but he had only asked casually. This kind of thing wasn't really related to him."Since it's a private matter between the two seniors, I won't ask....
