You are the villain in the book

Chapter 405 Investigate the news
"Originally, I wanted to apologize to Yan Yan with Ye Lan, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Now Yan Yan probably doesn't want to see me."

"Your approach is indeed wrong."

Jing Yu raised his head to hear her opinion. The eldest sister is always smart, so she might be able to think of a solution.

"Now that the three major families are holding a meeting to discuss the destruction of dozens of cities, you, as the son of the young master of the Jing family, should share the family's worries, instead of worrying about personal friendship and ignoring the family's interests."

Jing Lexi's face was cold and her voice was cold, but Jing Yu could hear disappointment from that unchanging tone.

"Xiaoyu's cultivation is stronger than most of the Jing family. Your identity has long determined that you should be responsible for the entire Jing family. You shouldn't ignore the family just because I am the next head of the Jing family. The family cultivated us, right? It's time for us to repay the family, do you understand?"

Growing up, the elder sister had never said such serious words to him, Jing Yu froze for a moment, unable to react.

Seeing him like this, Jing Lexi knew that she was in a hurry, but the current situation does not allow him to play around.The Jing family and the Han family can maintain a superficial peace. Once the situation changes, the war between the two families is about to break out, and it is impossible for Jing Yu to stay out of it.Rather than being forced to grow, it is better to plan early.

"Just stay with me for these two days, and make plans for other things after the conference is over."

Her decision cannot be refuted, Jing Yu's eyes flickered and his desire to find Yan Yan flickered out.After a while, the door of the inn was knocked open by a middle-aged man.

"Miss Jing."

The person who came did not expect that there was another person in the room, and he paused when he pushed the door.

"I don't know that Miss Jing has guests. Zhao will come back later."

As he said that, he was about to close the door. He had already made an appointment to meet at this time, and now there was another person in Jing Lexi's room, Patriarch Zhao, and he was not dissatisfied at all.

"That's not necessary, he is Jing Yu."

Although Jing Yu had never met Patriarch Zhao, he understood a little bit from the conversation between the two. He shook and released the hand on his side, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

While the Jing family was extremely busy, the Han Palace also had no leisure time. Few Patriarchs who could come to Hancheng were stupid, and being well-informed was more important than anything else.There is no winking at the place where capable people gather, and it is unknown whether they will come or not.

Xiao An and Xiao Feng sent back news that the Patriarchs had already visited the three Patriarchs of the Han family, and then dispersed again.

Looking at the three sheets of paper placed on the table, they densely recorded the movements of the various Patriarchs in the past few days.Three sheets of paper, three families, never a single name repeated.

"Is this their respective choices?"

The woman's voice was faint, and she couldn't hear any emotion. Guanshi Hua quickly handed over another piece of paper.

"These Patriarchs have bought news from the Han Palace during this period of time, and there are a few Patriarchs who want to see Miss Yan, does Miss Yan want to see them?"

"Meet me?"

Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, but his tone remained unchanged.

"Hangong's news has always been well-founded. If you can afford the Lingshi, you will naturally get the corresponding news. When they saw me, they felt that Hangong was deceiving them?"

"Maybe it's because the news they want is inconvenient for outsiders to know, so they are a little more cautious."

Guanshi Hua thought about it for a while and said, Hangong has sources of news all over the entire continent, but there are some news that really want to inquire, and few dare to inquire, especially about the three major families.

"How about the spirit stones they produced?"

"It's a lot of money, it's hard to say no to."

It would be easy to say so, Yan Yan got up and walked towards the hall, Hangong never refuses Lingshi.

The head of the Ling family has been restless since he arrived in Hancheng. Lingcheng was originally the city of the Ye family, but because of its strength, the Han family and the Jing family have been trying to recruit them for several years.He knew that the Ye family was declining day by day, so Ling Cheng naturally had to make a choice during this conference.

It's just that he had a hard time choosing how to choose. In the end, a friend reminded him of the existence of the Han Palace.

When Yan Yan entered the hall, he saw Patriarch Ling, who had paid a large sum of spirit stones from Guanshi Hua, pacing back and forth. Seeing her enter the hall, he hurriedly greeted her regardless of the majesty of the Patriarch.

"Miss Yan."

The head of the Ling family was anxious, and the Han family and the Jing family put pressure on him repeatedly, leaving him little time to think about it.Before Yan Yan could ask, he hurriedly explained the reason.

"Miss Yan, can you tell me who the perpetrator is?"

so direct?Glancing at Patriarch Ling with a half-smile, Yan Yan understood.The man's face turned red because of his panic, and although he tried his best to hide it, his face was still a little tired.

Han Gong has never revealed any news about the murderer who destroyed the city. Presumably the Ling family leader thought that Han Gong was deliberately concealing it.

"Patriarch Ling should ask Patriarch Han about this. Since Patriarch Han convened the meeting, he must know the true face of the murderer. Han Gong has always seldom understood the affairs of the three major families. Patriarch Ling should know."

"Hangong is well-informed, so how can he not know who the murderer is? If Miss Yan thinks that there are not enough spirit stones, just mention it."

Patriarch Ling looked wealthy and powerful. Since Ling Cheng was able to be wooed by the three major families, he really had a lot of background, and he thought it was enough to buy news.

"Han Gong really doesn't know who the murderer is, but is it really the murderer that Patriarch Ling wants to ask?"

The woman inadvertently released some spiritual power, and her cultivation level was even higher than that of the city lord. Ling family leader had to seriously consider Yan Yan's issue.

Yan Yan walked towards the main seat unhurriedly, picked up a cup of tea and looked up at Patriarch Ling who was deep in thought.There are not a few Patriarchs who have encountered the same problem as Patriarch Ling, and what troubles them is not the elusive murderer who destroyed the city.

"Haha, as expected of the Han Palace, it's not just the murderer that worries me."

Patriarch Ling laughed out loud, and suddenly his tone became cold.

"I don't know what Ms. Yan's opinion is. Although I, Lingcheng, can't compare with the three major families, I can be considered generous."

"Great opinions are not counted. I, Han Gong, have some trivial opinions on this matter. Patriarch Ling just listens to it, and it can't be taken seriously."

Finally waiting for what he wanted to hear, Yan Yan put down his teacup, and his delicate and soft voice gradually sounded in the hall, with hints of temptation and thought-provoking.

Satisfied for a long time, Patriarch Ling left with a certain decision, and walked towards an inn instead.Ordering someone to replace it with new tea, Yan Yan opened the door of the cold palace, waiting for the next head of the family who had doubts.

For more than a day, the Han Palace earned a lot of spirit stones, Xiaofeng twitched the corner of his mouth, and put the spirit stones into the space.

Mr. Yan is too good at fooling people.

A new label was added when Yan Yan didn't know about it.

On the fifth day of May, the Han family meeting officially began.

The empty hall is magnificent, and the Han family has already prepared good food and wine, exquisite pastries, and sweet and delicious melons and fruits, waiting for the heads of the family to come.

On the tall white jade steps, three desks were placed alone, but they were the existences that the patriarchs standing underground looked up to.

Yan Yan stood in an inconspicuous corner, hugging Xiao Hei to pass the time.

Seeing that the other Patriarchs had entered the hall, he couldn't wait to greet the other Patriarchs, for fear of being forgotten.What's more, intentionally or unintentionally, they squeezed towards the front of the main hall to show their status.

Xiaoan felt embarrassed for the first time.

In order not to attract attention, their Mr. Yan let her and Xiaofeng stand in front to block people from realizing it?

When he was at leisure, the other Patriarchs saw that the two of them were young, so they took a good look at them.

"Mr. Yan, even if Mr. Song told us to keep a low profile, you can't hide! There are many patriarchs here who know you, so it's not good for you to hide on purpose like this?"

She didn't expect Mr. Yan, who has always been vigorous and resolute, to have such a childish side.
