The atmosphere in the lounge was very solemn and the silence lasted for a long time.

"I still can't believe that people in the military would go against you!"

"There are many old comrades in arms who have fought side by side with us during the war years!"

Number 7 has complicated emotions.

"Love is love, and state affairs are state affairs!" The old man sighed, "Seventh Brother, you still don't understand. The path we have chosen is the enemy of the whole world. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one... Hehe... Even a three-year-old child understands this principle, but the reality is that when faced with a situation, almost no one will choose this way."

"The military doesn't care about power struggles, and they are not interested in fame and fortune. They will choose whichever path can keep the country stable and united."

"It is precisely because they have lived through the war years that they understand better than anyone the importance of internal unity and stability, and understand better than anyone the blood and tears of being invaded by outsiders when internal strife occurs!"

The old man's tiger eyes gradually moistened, and he looked at No. 7 with rich emotions, "We are a minority to begin with. We have worked so hard for so many years and finally cultivated Ye Nan. He is our only hope."

"I know it's not fair to him, but I have no other choice!"

"Similarly, Old Seven, I've asked you to do double-faced things all these years. I'm sorry for having wronged you!"

Number 7 was silent for a moment, then suddenly grinned, "Why are you saying this! Don't worry too much, I believe Ye Nan can do it!"

"I believe it, too." The old man couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he thought of Ye Nan. "When everything is settled, I will present Ye Nan with the last medal in a dignified manner, and you can marry your daughter to him in style. Then we can retire and go fishing with Old Six!"

Number 7 smiled, "Haha, don't mention this for now! I forcefully used Zhu Yunzhao, and now Xiaofei hates me as her father to the extreme!"

Speaking of this, the old man became a little more serious. "You have to be careful with Zhu Yunzhao. As far as I know, although the seven sects of the Seven Star Sect are arrogant, they have no ambition to get involved in the secular world. You have to be careful. This kid is frustrated in love and will inevitably go to extremes!"

"I know!" No. 7 nodded. "My little concubine has a special physique. The Five Elements Sect came to us many years ago, and now the Seven Star Sect has come. I will not get involved in these matters. Let Ye Nan choose the decision!"

……

In the banquet hall, Ye Nan was at the VIP table.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

As soon as Dongfang Ziyu appeared, Sima Hengye and his daughter felt a little uncomfortable. They had something to say, but now it was not convenient to speak.

Ye Nan didn't say anything either. He leisurely picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Dongfang Ziyu, on the other hand, observed Ye Nan for a while, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

"My Lord, Ziyu came here for two things."

Ye Nan nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"First, thank you for avenging me!"

Ye Nan looked at him quietly.

Dongfang Ziyu sighed, "Although this is a family scandal, it has long been a secret known to everyone, so there is no need for me to hide it."

"The dispute between the previous generation of the Dongfang family's patriarch led to a huge internal strife. Dongfang Boren was cruel and merciless. He killed countless people of the same clan. I was the only one in my branch who escaped. Fortunately, I was rescued by a wandering cultivator and became a disciple of the sect to cultivate for many years."

"My Lord, you have wiped out the Dongfang family, killed Dongfang Boren, and avenged my entire clan. I am grateful to you forever!"

Seeing that his attitude was extremely sincere and didn't seem fake, Ye Nan nodded solemnly, "Don't be so polite, I'm just trying to achieve my goal."

Dongfang Ziyu smiled slightly, and then said, "The second thing is to express my feelings to you! From now on, I will obey your orders and be loyal to you!"

After hearing this, Sima Hengye and Sima Liyu were both shocked.

Ye Nan was also slightly surprised and looked at him carefully.

"From what I know, you took over the Dongfang family again and received a lot of financial support from No. 2 and No. 3." Sima Liyu asked suddenly, "With such a position, how could you easily join Brother Ye?"

"Standpoint? What stance?" Dongfang Ziyu smiled calmly, "I am a person without a clan or a family, without roots or support, just a cultivator. How can I have a stance?"

Sima Liyu was stunned, secretly trying to figure out what this meant.

"My original intention of returning this time was just to seek revenge, but when I learned that the Lord had already destroyed the Dongfang family, I wanted to return to the mountain gate, but No. 2 came to me and wanted to help me revive the Dongfang family and join hands with other powerful families to fight against the Lord."

"Although Zi Yu is not talented, after the tragedy, he also recognized the true nature of the aristocratic family, which left endless troubles! Moreover, you avenged me, and repaying kindness with enmity is something that only beasts would not do!"

"I wanted to refuse, but then I thought, the opportunity to repay my gratitude is right before my eyes, how can I miss it?"

Dongfang Ziyu stared at Ye Nan and said, "Whether you believe me or not is entirely up to you, sir!"

These words were spoken frankly and with an extremely sincere attitude, and were by no means false.

Ye Nan was relieved after hearing this. He then pondered for a moment, sighed and smiled bitterly, "Ah... a wealthy family cannot be eliminated suddenly... I didn't follow a single word of what Number One said..."

The Dongfang family was dealt with in this way, and only Nangong and Sima were left.

The Nangong family doesn’t even need to consider it anymore.

The Nangong family now has lost Nangong Wang, and its reputation has been greatly damaged. Nangong Xuanzhang has left the family and become the son-in-law of the Wumeng, which is an even more devastating blow to the prestige of the Nangong family!

In addition, Nan Shijiu is still lurking inside the Nangong family, continuing to make small moves in secret, undermining internal unity and taking the opportunity to win over marginalized people.

Ye Nan really couldn't think of how the Nangong family could avoid the fate of collapse.

Now only the Sima family is left.

Ye Nan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sima Hengye, "How about... you guys hold on a little longer, don't express your opinions so quickly, I'll at least pretend to be nice to Number One..."

The corners of Sima Hengye's mouth began to twitch.

Sima Liyu rolled his eyes at him angrily.

"Excuse me for saying so much." Dongfang Ziyu suddenly said, "Now that the general situation has been determined, No. 2 and No. 3 are unpopular. If the Sima family is still reluctant to let go, it would be extremely unwise to withdraw all the people at the center of power and hand over power to the right people!"

"Shut up! You're a newcomer, and you talk so much!" Sima Liyu glared at him directly, leaving Dongfang Ziyu stunned.

What, Lord Dark Emperor... is also bullying the newbies in the workplace? !

"Brother Ye, actually...except for a few stubborn people, most people in the family share the same opinion. It's just that grandpa is old and a bit stubborn. He insists on seeing you..." Sima Liyu explained helplessly.

Ye Nan nodded in understanding, "Okay, set a time and tell me when the time comes."

Who would have thought that the once powerful and prestigious families are now in their twilight years? Ye Nan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Everything was settled, and Ye Nan was just about to relax and enjoy Ji Yanfei's gentle feeding when he heard an annoying imitating voice.

"Saint, please move away. I have something important to tell you!"
