Qi Xiao's words fell, and the reactions of other people Ye Zi took care of it flawlessly, she only wanted to scold the other party's brazenness at the moment, but she couldn't attack it, she only gritted her teeth and hurt.

The entire council hall was silent for a moment, and Ye Tao, who had a loud voice in the past, was much weaker at the moment, and asked with a hint of uncertainty: "City Lord, is this ...... Can the other families agree to this? ”

Qi Xiao smiled inexplicably, "The Tong family has agreed, and the other families have not yet been notified." I want to leave this matter to Ye Gaozu. ”

"What?" Ye Zi raised his head in amazement, and after seeing Qi Xiao's fox-like smile, he suddenly understood something.

Ye Tao and several clan elders also changed their faces greatly, they were not dull people, they had experienced strong winds and waves, and they were old and sophisticated, and they immediately understood that Qi Xiao wanted to use the Ye family as a shield and push the Ye family to the cusp of confrontation with other families.

Ye Zi is not a soft persimmon, and immediately refused: "I'm sorry, I will go out with the disciples of the Ye family tomorrow to practice, and I can't help the Qi City Lord convey his will to the families." However, I would recommend one person, and that is the head of the Tong family. The head of the Tong family is open-minded and clever, and he will definitely be able to host affairs for Qi Cheng very well. ”

"Ye Gaozu's proposal is very good, but the head of the Tong family has personally led the team and led the children of the Tong family to the Xiaojingshui Calendar, and it will take a month to come back." Qi Xiao looked at the leaves and said regretfully.

Ye Zi's face tightened, "Actually, this matter is what the City Lord Qi wants to do, and there are many talented people to help you." You see that I have no prestige, no strength, no talent and no virtue, and I am really powerless. ”

Qi Xiao still didn't let go, and said with a smile: "Ye Gaozu is too modest, I think you are the most suitable candidate, a few days ago, I also heard the wind in the Ye family's internal election, Ye Gaozu can overwhelm everyone by flying flowers and picking leaves with one hand, I look at this experience, don't go." ”

Ye Zi choked, it wasn't that she didn't refute it, she just felt that it would be in vain to say it again. I have already begun to think about whether I can stir up this matter from somewhere else.

At this time, Jiang Yu, who had been watching from the wall, also opened his mouth to persuade: "Ye Gaozu has cultivated to the ninth level of qi refining at a young age, and he has unparalleled exercises, and he is also smart and clever. Wise and resourceful, when I first came to Sifang City, I could hear a lot of compliments, and I think this matter requested by the Qi City Lord is just a piece of cake for you. Hehe. ”

Ye Zi gritted his teeth secretly, reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, said a few words modestly, did not refuse again, did not agree, and the scene was stalemate for a while.

Ye Tao and the others also refused for Ye Zi, but they were all rejected by Qi Xiao one by one, and their attitude was very resolute, as if Ye Zi did not agree, he would not leave.

Jiang Yu on the side also helped Qi Xiao say a few words from time to time. persuade Ye Zi to take the matter.

Ye Zi understood in her heart that the other party was determined to put her in the crosshairs, and she even understood that Qi Xiao deliberately wanted to suppress the Ye family, taking the opportunity to cause resentment among the families, and to contain the Wang family, who let the two families have an alliance!

At this moment, it was on the eve of the opening of the Baiyun Immortal Mansion, and it was not good for her to confront the City Lord's Mansion head-on, and it would not be good for the Ye family to tear her face. Otherwise, in case the Great Castle Array has not been repaired for a long time. There was some trouble halfway, and the other party just pushed it on her, and the entire Ye family couldn't afford to bear this charge.

It seems that the only way to get rid of the shackles is to stir up the matter in other ways.

Ye Zi's gaze turned to Jiang Yu who was smiling. I had an idea.

"Can I think about this?" Ye Zi's tone loosened, but Qi Xiao was still dissatisfied, and laughed loudly: "When did Ye Gaozu become so indecisive? Hehe, I heard that when he went to besiege the gate of Tong's house, Ye Gaozu was grand. Don't be afraid of anything! ”

Hearing the other party's praise and disparagement, Ye Zi was too lazy to care, she just wanted to send Qi Xiao and the others away quickly, so she smiled dryly and said: "Isn't there a saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I'm just a momentary and eager to save people." Since the City Lord of Qi believes in me so much, then I will take over this matter, there is still a month and a half before the opening of the White Cloud Immortal Mansion, can you give me a month? ”

Qi Xiao showed a treacherous smile, shook his head and said, "A month is too long, you must know that after half a month, the quota of personnel participating in the Baiyun Immortal Mansion will be determined and reported to Tianjimen." In this way, I also understand Ye Gaozu's difficulties, how about taking half a month? ”

"Then what if I have the hope of the Qi City Lord?" The leaves said tentatively.

"I believe that Ye Gaozu will definitely be able to complete it."

Ye Zi gritted his teeth secretly, feeling that the smile on Qi Xiao's face was too cheap, but he still had to force a smile and said, "I hope." ”

"Haha! Ye Gaozu is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, she is young, she acts boldly, and her future is definitely immeasurable, so that we have to admire! Jiang Yu said after the horse.

Ye Zi reluctantly coped with it, and Qi Xiao and a few people from Tianji Gate left happily.

Leaving Ye Tao and Ye Zi behind, in the face of Ye Tao and several clan elders' questions, Ye Zi had no intention of explaining too much, and only told them not to worry, she would find a way, and went back to her yard.

Not long after Ye Zi returned to the courtyard, he didn't think of a practical way, and the elder of the big clan came to the door.

Regarding the performance of the elder of the big clan, Ye Zi was not without doubts in his heart. When there are no outsiders on weekdays, the elder clan is like the pillar of the entire Ye family, which has the role of stabilizing the heart and supporting the overall situation.

But a year ago or today, when facing outsiders such as Qi Xiao or Tong Jinghe, the elder of the great clan always restrained his aura intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed very low-key and mediocre, as if his existence was dispensable.

Ye Zi carefully observed the old man sitting opposite her, his face was ordinary, his complexion was very white, and his wrinkles were no more, which was suitable for his age at this time, but he did not look old.

is obviously an old man who is nearly seventy years old, but he doesn't feel the slightest sense of vicissitudes, and his demeanor is elegant and open-minded.

"The elder of the big clan is for Qi Xiao's confession?"

There will be no outsiders in this way, and Ye Zi is too lazy to pretend, calling Qi Xiao's real name, and when the old man of the big clan heard this, he didn't even blink his eyes, as if he was normal.

Ye Zi's heart was slightly determined, she also deliberately tried to see what the elder of the big clan thought of Qi Xiao. Now it seems that the elders of the big clan should be on their side.

"Presumably Gao Zu has a way to get out of trouble?" The elder of the big clan had a faint voice and a calm gaze.

Ye Zi shook his head a little helplessly, "Not necessarily, I have to think again." ”

The elder of the big clan didn't say anything more, but said, "No matter what decision you make, the Ye family is your backing." ”

Hearing his words, Ye Zi couldn't help but be surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "What if my behavior hurts the Ye family?" ”

"Don't be limited by gains and losses, don't be afraid of success or failure. Everything goes with the flow, when things are calm, when you are proud, when you are frustrated, when you are calm, when you are difficult and tortuous, and after the vicissitudes of life. ”

After the elder of the big clan finished speaking, he left on his own, leaving Ye Zi to think for a long time, and he didn't know what he wanted.

Of course she understood the superficial meaning of the words, but she didn't understand the deep meaning of the big clan's words. If he couldn't figure it out, Ye Zi no longer drilled the tip of the horns, and instead thought about the matter of taxing spirit stones.

Although Qi Xiao took advantage of the wisdom of repairing the Great Array to forcibly collect spirit stones, perhaps there was something improper in the method, but the original intention was not at fault, even if she asked the Tianji Gate for advice, the Tianji Gate was a big faction, and it was estimated that she would not pay attention to such a trivial matter.

She didn't believe that the City Lord's Mansion couldn't even take out two million spirit stones, but Qi Xiao bit the poor, and she couldn't help it, unless she could go into the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion to explore?

But the City Lord's Mansion is well guarded and heavily guarded, and I heard that there are countless hermits in the foundation building period in important places, and even hermits above the Jindan stage are secretly guarding hermit, she is only in the Qi refining period, how can she have the ability to break through this layer of defense like an iron wall?
