Chapter 360: Attack
"Ye Ye has met the head of the Yan Zhendong family and met the predecessors of the Yan family!"
Under the guidance of Yan Lieyang, Ye Ye saluted Yan Zhendong and the others one by one. Except for the young master of the Yan family, Yan Tiantian's attitude was obviously a little cold, the other high-level Yan family leaders all smiled at Ye Ye and nodded, their expressions were quite kind.
"Deputy City Lord Ye is coming from afar, Yan has lost his welcome, and I hope Deputy City Lord Ye will not be surprised!"
Yan Zhendong was also courteous to Ye Ye, and did not show the majesty of the head of the first family in the Tiannan Region in front of Ye Ye at all.
After all, although Ye Ye was only the deputy city lord of Mohai Ancient City, as an advent body, as long as he didn't die halfway, he was destined to soar into the sky in the future and become the top master of the entire Tiannan Region. In addition, Ye Ye has a close relationship with Yan Lieyang, and Yan Zhendong will not embarrass Ye Ye even if he looks at Yan Lieyang's face, so he is almost an equal intersecting gesture to him.
The other high-level Yan family leaders didn't feel anything wrong, but Yan Tiantian, the young master of the Yan family, was a little angry when he saw this. It's just that he is not a reckless person, he did not express his dissatisfaction to his face, and still honestly sat in his seat without saying a word.
After Ye Ye also sat down, he bowed his hand to Yan Zhendong and said politely: "The Yan family's master is serious! Ye Ye is just a nobody, and he deserves such a big gift from you." If the Yan family master can afford Ye Ye, don't call me the deputy city lord, just call me Xiao Ye!"
"Hahahaha, if Ye Xian's nephews are just nobodies, I'm afraid no one in the Tiannan Region will dare to call themselves famous!"
Yan Zhendong originally thought that Ye Ye was an advent body, and he had made a name for himself in the Tiannan Region, and he would be more or less proud. But when he saw him at this time, he found that Ye Ye also did not have a trace of arrogance, and he was more humble and polite than some young heroes of the Yan family, and his good impression of Ye Ye couldn't help but rise.
However, he did not call him Xiao Ye directly according to Ye Ye's proposal, but affectionately called Ye Ye a virtuous nephew, which immediately shortened the distance between the two sides a lot.
Yan Lieyang had been watching coldly from the sidelines, and he didn't seem to have any intention of joining the conversation between the two sides at all.
He originally agreed to work for the Yan family again because he asked for it, but this time he only served as Ye Ye's guide to accompany Ye Ye back, and he didn't have much of a good impression of the Yan family.
Yan Zhendong was not surprised to see this, he still chatted with Ye Ye enthusiastically, and at the same time intended to ask Ye Ye as an intermediary to adjust the relationship between Yan Lieyang and the Yan family. After Ye Ye listened to Yan Lieyang's life experience, he was also prepared for Yan Lieyang's current attitude. It's just that in public and private, Ye Ye doesn't think that Yan Lieyang should continue to have a cold war with the Yan family.
Therefore, after comprehending the meaning of Yan Zhendong's words, Ye Ye immediately agreed vaguely and would do his best to let Yan Lieyang reintegrate into the Yan family.
"Ye Xian's nephew is not only the dragon and phoenix among people, but also has affection and righteousness to take care of the overall situation, if only our Yan family had young children who are as good as you!"
Yan Zhendong saw that Ye Ye agreed to his request, and immediately looked at Ye Ye with more kind eyes. The other Yan family executives also showed a look of satisfaction on their faces, obviously adding a few more points to Ye Ye's favor.
However, Yan Tianran on the side, after hearing Yan Zhendong's words, couldn't help it anymore.
He seemed to be tired of Ye Ye and Yan Zhendong's greetings, so he directly planned the conversation between the two and asked Ye Ye officially: "Deputy City Lord Ye came from afar this time, it shouldn't be as simple as greeting our family master, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall changed. Yan Zhendong glanced at Yan Tianran with some dissatisfaction, but because the other party was the successor of the Yan family who had been secretly cultivated for many years, he did not reprimand him in person.
When Ye Ye heard Yan Tianran's words, relevant information about Yan Tianran immediately appeared in his mind, and at the same time, he also guessed the root cause of his indifference to himself.
However, Ye Ye didn't plan to directly confront Yan Tianran in public, so he replied politely to Yan Tianran after a little groaning: "Young Master Yan, last time, thanks to the action of the ancestor of the Yan family, I was able to get along with Mohai Ancient City without incident. Ye Ye came to express his gratitude to the Yan family in person this time, thank you to the Yan family for their great help last time, I and Mohai Ancient City will never forget the kindness of the Yan family!"
Ye Ye said as he got up and saluted Yan Zhendong respectfully, with an extremely sincere attitude.
Although the Yan family only intervened in the dispute between the Liuli Sect and the Mohai Ancient City for the sake of Yan Lieyang, Ye Ye owed them a favor no matter what, so Ye Ye was willing to do this courtesy.
"Virtuous nephew, please get up, not to mention that you are a friend of Lieyang, even if you are not, our Yan family can't get used to the bullying appearance of the Liuli faction. Besides, after the Yan family intervened, it only made Wei Yan not make a move within a year, which is not a great favor, and the virtuous nephew doesn't have to be so polite!"
Seeing this, Yan Zhendong hurriedly got up and helped Ye Ye up, and explained to Ye Ye a little embarrassed while responding.
Because their Yan family has always been a neutral force in the Tiannan Region, even if the Beishan Ancestor made an exception to intervene in the dispute between the Liuli Sect and the Mohai Ancient City because of Yan Lieyang's request, he did not want to completely help the Mohai Ancient City fight against the Liuli Sect, but only helped them temporarily contain Wei Yan alone.
Yan Zhendong obviously felt that their Yan family's approach was a bit stingy, so after being so solemnly grateful to Ye Ye, he felt embarrassed in his heart.
However, Yan Tianran turned a blind eye to Yan Zhendong's attitude, and after listening to Ye Ye's answer, he continued to ask him indifferently: "Since it is to express gratitude, presumably Deputy City Lord Ye will not come empty-handed! I don't know what Deputy City Lord Ye intends to use to thank the Yan family for their help to you?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall fell into embarrassment again.
After all, Mohai Ancient City was only a small force compared to the Yan family, and even if they tried their best, they might not be able to come up with something that would make the Yan family look at it. What's more, with Yan Tianran's attitude, even if Ye Ye took out a gift that made everyone in the Yan family feel amazing to express his gratitude, Yan Tianran would also look disdainful, and he would not have any good impression of him because of this.
Ye Ye saw that Yan Tianran couldn't get along with him repeatedly, and his attitude towards him was not as polite as before. After hearing Yan Tianran's aggressive question, Ye Ye directly asked in a cold tone: "In the opinion of Young Master Yan, what kind of treasure can express our gratitude to the Yan family in Mohai Ancient City?"
"I know that your Mohai Ancient City is short of materials, and it is just a luxury for you to come up with amazing treasures. However, didn't you just conquer Liuyue Ancient City some time ago, plus the previous Longjiang Ancient City, your Mohai Ancient City has played a role in three ancient cities, and it is a well-deserved number one force in the Linhai area. If you are really grateful to our Yan family, you can send an ancient city as a thank you gift!"
Yan Tianran seemed to have thought about what the Yan family wanted a long time ago, so when he heard Ye Ye's inquiry, he was not ashamed to ask for an ancient city.
Yan Zhendong finally couldn't help it after hearing Yan Tianran's words, and frowned and reprimanded Yan Tianran angrily: "Naturally, Ye Ye is our Yan family's honored guest! If you continue to aggressively destroy the relationship between the Yan family and Mohai Ancient City, don't blame me for explaining the truth in front of the ancestor!"
Before, for the sake of Yan Tianran, who had been secretly cultivated by the Yan family for many years and had high hopes from several ancestors, Yan Zhendong endured it again and again, and did not stop Yan Tianran's speech in person. But he just ignored his attitude and openly forced Ye Ye into a corner, which had already touched Yan Zhendong's bottom line, so he couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction to Yan Tianran anymore.
But Yan Tianran obviously didn't want to obey Yan Zhendong's intentions, and after hearing Yan Zhendong's warning, he still replied calmly: "Family master, the ancestor did not show up to receive Ye Ye in person, which means that Ye Ye and Mohai Ancient City were not taken seriously by the ancestor at all. Now Ye Ye claims to be grateful to our Yan family, and it is only natural for me to ask him for some thank-you gifts!"
Because the next head of the Yan family is not something that Yan Zhendong can decide, but is directly assigned by the ancestor of Beishan, Yan Tianran is not afraid that he will not be able to become the next head of the Yan family after offending Yan Zhendong. Especially after Yan Zhendong revealed signs of maintaining Yan Lieyang everywhere, Yan Tianran didn't treat Yan Zhendong as his own person anymore, so he didn't mean too much politeness when he spoke.
In the hall, the other high-level Yan family members looked at each other, and they didn't know which side to help speak for a while.
Although Yan Zhendong is the head of the Yan family, the top decision-maker of the Yan family has always been the ancestor of Beishan. And Yan Tianran was the young master of the Yan family appointed by the ancestor of Beishan, so everyone on both sides did not dare to offend, so they had to wait and see the changes in silence.
Ye Ye saw that Yan Zhendong was fighting against Yan Tianran for himself, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes. However, Yan Tianran's goal was himself after all, Ye Ye had no intention of hiding behind Yan Zhendong all the time, and when he saw this, he immediately stood up and said coldly to Yan Tianran: "It is impossible to present an ancient city as a thank you gift! Don't say that I didn't make a decision in this authority, even if there were, Mohai Ancient City would not send an ancient city to the Yan family to express my gratitude." This is no longer an act of thanks, but a humiliating act of ceding territory. ”
Ye Ye rejected Yan Tianran's request with a clear attitude, and immediately made everyone in the Yan family in the hall look up at him. After all, Mohai Ancient City is insignificant compared to the Yan family, but Ye Ye actually dared to openly confront the young master of the Yan family, and this courage is not something that ordinary small force leaders can have.
Yan Lieyang, who was on the side, saw that the situation was gradually developing in an unpredictable direction, and couldn't help but immediately stand up and walk to Ye Ye's side, holding the Seven-Star Shocking Sword ready to start a war with Yan Tianran at any time.
Unlike Ye Ye, Yan Lieyang, as a child of the Yan family, and also gets the respect of the ancestor of Beishan, he does not need to care about the difference in identity when facing Yan Tianran. What's more, the reason why Yan Natural targeted Ye Ye was obviously because of Yan Lieyang, so Yan Lieyang didn't need any reason to support Ye Ye at all.
"Hmph, it turns out that your thanks are not sincere at all! Deputy City Lord Ye came all the way to our Yan family, could it be just to have a visit in the ancient city of Yanbei?"
After Yan Tianran saw Yan Lieyang's actions, his expression was even more gloomy than just now. But he didn't seem to have any intention of backing down, and after hearing Ye Ye's answer, he unceremoniously opened his mouth to mock, as if he intended to push the two sides to really break out into conflict.
