"Even though the Lian Family and the Jiang Family among The Eight Great Ancient Clans have gradually declined, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse; in the imperial capital, they still wield some influence,"
Jiang Yanyun said.
"I see. Well, when I have time, I'll go to the imperial capital and have a chat with them, asking them to stop bothering Yueyue."
When Ye Xiao spoke of having a chat, it was anything but simple. In those times, everything still depended on the strength of one's fist, and whoever had the stronger fist was the one to be heeded.
"Xiao Xiao, I know you're strong, but you're just one person, and two fists can't fight against four hands. I'll figure out a way to negotiate with the Jiang Family, using the mineral vein as a bargaining chip to have them protect Yueyue."
Jiang Yanyun knew that Ye Xiao was a child of principle, but exactly because of this, she couldn't let the matter of Yueyue drag Ye Xiao into it.
