"elder sister......"

Shangguan Chan looked at Shangguan Nishang in a daze. Is this still the frail and sickly sister in her memory?

She was naturally aware of the strength of the Cui family elder, who was at the mid-stage Grandmaster level, but he was crushed to death by a single sword strike from his sister?

And also coming this time was the unfathomable Mr. Ye. He really knew my sister!

"Shangguan Nishang, you..."

Some of the people present stared at Shangguan Nishang with shock. Is this still the Shangguan Nishang they knew?

Some people looked calm and didn't care too much about all this. This was just the beginning and was not enough to surprise them.

Shangguan Nishang glanced at the people present with an expressionless face, and said indifferently: "An elder of the Cui family dares to speak nonsense in the territory of my Shangguan family. Master Jian doesn't know whether he lives or dies."

"Shangguan Nishang, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. I am a little surprised. But today you killed someone from my Cui family. I am afraid this matter will not end well."

A middle-aged man from the Cui family said in a deep voice, he is the head of the Cui family, Cui Shan, the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Today is the Shangguan family's clan meeting. The Cui family came with an important person, so they cannot let the Shangguan family be too presumptuous.

"Let it go, why should it be? When Cui Lin went to kill Chan'er before, it was destined that your Cui family would be destroyed."

Shangguan Nishang looked at Cui Shan coldly. The people of the Cui family had really gone too far. After this incident, the Cui family would definitely pay a heavy price.

"..."

Seeing Shangguan Nishang's tough tone, Cui Shan's face turned extremely ugly. He felt that he needed to teach Shangguan Nishang a lesson.

"Since Miss Nishang is here, let's sit down and have a good chat."

Just then, a man in a white brocade robe whispered.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Cui Shan became obedient, but the look he gave Shangguan Nishang was still full of coldness.

Shangguan Nishang looked at Ye Lingtian and asked, "Where do you want to sit?"

"..."

Everyone stared at Ye Lingtian in an instant, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. What was the origin of this person?

Ye Lingtian smiled calmly and said, "I don't mind."

After saying that, he found a random seat and sat down.

Shangguan Nishang nodded slightly and walked to the front seat, which was the seat of the head of the family. Now the head of the Shangguan family was still ill in bed. As the eldest daughter of the family, she sat on this seat. She wanted to see what these people would do.

"..."

Seeing Shangguan Nishang taking the seat of the head of the family, some people in the Shangguan family looked gloomy.

After Shangguan Nishang sat down, her eyes fell on the young man with extraordinary bearing in the west seat: "There are many distinguished guests here today, I wonder if we can introduce each other?"

The young man in white brocade robe smiled and said, "I am just an aide to the Western Prince. My name is Wang Yong!"

A young man in a purple robe with a slightly feminine face said calmly: "The guard beside the eldest prince, Jianxuan!"

He is a eunuch!

A young man in a blue robe said, "Chongyun beside the Second Prince."

A young man in a gray robe sneered, "The lonely and cold man beside the Third Prince."

These Westerners are all personal guards of the Western Prince of Dong Chu. Generally speaking, any situation that would require them to appear in person is destined to be no simple matter.

"..."

Ye Lingtian poured a glass of wine and tasted it calmly. It seemed that what was happening around him had nothing to do with him.

Wherever there is a court, there is struggle for power. There is also huge competition within Dongchu. Now that the King of Dongchu is old, it is time to choose a successor.

So all the princes are trying their best to become the heir.

The Shangguan family, with its huge wealth, naturally became the target of competition among these people. Especially since Shangguan Chan was engaged to one of the princes, the matter became more complicated. The prince's enemies did not want to see this, so they wanted to ruin the engagement.

In fact, in Dong Chu, if there was one person who took action, the prince behind the Westerner would have no chance at all, and that person was the Sword Emperor Chu Wudi!

Chu Wudi is not only the Sword Emperor, but also a king of East Chu. The two swords he holds, Royal Power and Hegemony, are enough to show his ambition.

But after the trip to Loulan, Chu Wudi was seriously injured and stayed indoors since returning to Dongchu. It is unknown what he is thinking now.

Of course, one of the princes of Dongchu may still have a chance, but that prince has always been low-key and may launch an attack at a critical moment. That is the plan of Ye An.

"..."

Shangguan Nishang stared at the westerner in front of her. The one who was engaged to Shangguan Chan was actually the Western Prince, and the one standing behind Cui was the eldest prince.

As for the other two princes, they were later entrants. Although they were later entrants, it did not mean that they had no plans.

At least there are key figures in the Shangguan family who are on their side.

The first three princes naturally do not want the Shangguan family to marry the Western Prince, so they will try every means to destroy this engagement.

Shangguan Nishang's eyes fell on the two middle-aged men of the Shangguan family and asked, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, what do you think we should do today?"

The middle-aged man in gray robe spoke first: "Chan'er has an engagement with the Western Prince, so we should obey this."

The black-robed man said calmly, "Second brother, you are joking. Chan'er is extremely opposed to this marriage. We still have to follow her wishes. I think we should not force her."

It is obvious that Shangguan Nishang's second uncle sided with the Western Prince, while her third uncle was an opponent.

Shangguan Nishang looked at Shangguan Chan again and said, "Chan'er, what do you think?"

"Sister, this marriage was arranged for me by the royal family without my consent. I don't agree to it. Of course, I don't want others to interfere with our Shangguan family."

Shangguan Chan spoke first.

These people today are all here to target the Shangguan family’s assets, and none of them is a good person.

Wang Yong smiled and said, "Second Miss, don't rush to refuse. Since you know that this is an engagement made by the royal family, you can't refuse."

Shangguan Nishang looked at Wang Yong and said indifferently, "My father suddenly fell ill in bed. I consulted a doctor and he was poisoned. I happen to know that you also have that kind of poison. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

Wang Yong's smile froze and he raised his eyebrows: "Miss, are you doubting me?"

"I'm not doubting you, but you asked my second uncle to do this, so there is no possibility of this marriage."

Shangguan Nishang did not give Wang Yong any face at all. The Western Prince was eager to control the Shangguan family and even asked Wang Yong to poison her second uncle. As a result, the pressure was put on Shangguan Chan, and Shangguan Chan had to make a choice quickly. It can be said that she had sinister intentions.

Such a person still wants to marry Shangguan Chan? Don't even think about it!

"What? My father is sick in bed because he was poisoned?"

Shangguan Chan's face darkened and she stared at Wang Yong intently, then stared at the man in gray robe with murderous intent.

"Second brother, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You actually poisoned my eldest brother."

The man in black robe glared at the man in gray robe.

"It's just slander."

The grey-robed man said indifferently.

"..."

Wang Yong looked at Shangguan Nishang expressionlessly.

"Haha! This is a good show. I didn't expect Wang Yong to be so anxious."

"They are so anxious, perhaps they are following the orders of the Western Prince."

"It is indeed a bit insidious, so it is the right choice for the young lady not to agree to this marriage."

Some people from the hostile forces of Prince Xi who were present could not help but sneer.

Shangguan Nishang ignored everyone's comments. She looked at Ye Lingtian and asked, "Master Ye, what do you think I should do next?"

"Easy! Kill all these people."

Ye Lingtian played with the wine glass and spoke calmly.

Shangguan Nishang said: "Nishang does not have this kind of strength."

Ye Lingtian smiled faintly and said, "I cheated you out of a sum of money in the past, and now I can pay you back."

Shangguan Nishang shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. There are big shots behind them. Even if they survive this disaster, they won't be able to survive the next one."

"I understand! In that case, I'll find you a big shot."

Ye Lingtian whispered.

"condition?"

Shangguan Nishang asked decisively.

Ye Lingtian said with a half-smile: "I played a joke on you back then, you still remember it, right?"

Shangguan Nishang was stunned for a second. Ye Lingtian had indeed made a joke back then, saying that one day the development of Tianxing Tower would surpass the Shangguan family, and even make the Shangguan family a part of Tianxing Tower.

Now, the joke seems to have come true!

There was silence for a moment.

Shangguan Nishang nodded: "I promise you, but I need the Shangguan family to have a certain degree of control."

In the current situation, no matter which side the Shangguan family falls into, the final outcome will not be good. Once problems arise in the competition for imperial power, the Shangguan family will surely be wiped out in an instant.

In this case, she might as well lean towards Ye Lingtian. At least she can trust this man. Tianxing Tower has a special relationship with the Shangguan family, so she doesn't mind taking it a step further.

This was not a gamble on her part, because she knew that there was an even more powerful force behind Tianxing Tower. Otherwise, Tianxing Tower would not have been able to develop so rapidly in Dongchu over the years.

In the previous fight with Ye Lingtian, even with her cultivation at the peak of the Grandmaster level, she was unable to do anything to the opponent. The opponent was most likely a great Grandmaster. In this case, today's situation could definitely be resolved. As for the future, she would have to wait and see.

Ye Lingtian laughed and said, "What I said just now is still a joke, don't take it seriously, but I can indeed find you a big shot who can help you deal with these people..."

"Cui Shan, kill this man."

A cold murderous intent flashed in Jianxuan's eyes.

Cui Shan stood up instantly and rushed towards Ye Lingtian. Since Lord Jianxuan had spoken, he naturally would not hesitate at all.

"How brave!"

Ye Lingtian said this lightly, and then he flicked his finger, and a piece of debris was ejected from the edge of the wine glass and immediately shot towards Cui Shan.

Chi!

The fragment instantly pierced Cui Shan's forehead.

Cui Shan, die!

"Ok?"

Jian Xuan's face darkened. He suddenly stood up, unsheathed the long sword beside him, and slashed with the sword, taking Ye Lingtian's neck first...
