Chapter 10: A Son Is Destined to Live or Die
Looking from afar, you can see at a glance the two gilded characters on the plaque at the head of this family-
"Xiao Mansion"
The Xiao family, another big family of the Daomeng.
Different from the Tianyan Yang family and the Dongfang family, which have achieved fire skills, the Xiao family plays more of a supervisory role in the Dao Alliance.
As a human organization that excludes demons and cultivates, the Dao League can be said to be closely related to the personal safety of the common people, who would ask for money and not die?
Therefore, the Dao Alliance has accumulated a lot of wealth and social status just by eliminating demons, and if there are interests, there will be intrigue and fighting.
As a result, in order to monitor the misdeeds of the Daoists in the Dao Alliance, the Dao Alliance's exclusive supervision organization, the Black Yao Supervision Envoy, was born.
In the main hall of the mansion, next to several guards in armor, a middle-aged man sat in front of a chessboard, playing against his subordinates.
He held a cup of tea in his hand, his face was ruddy, and his mood seemed quite comfortable.
This is none other than the leader of the Black Yao Inspector - Xiao Wancheng, the head of the Xiao family.
The guards were discussing business with him.
"The head of the family, let me excuse the Shi family, after all, the Yang family's daughter is married, how can we not go."
"Yes, the recent itinerary planning has been a bit conflicting, so it's better to choose a day......"
Faced with the persuasion of his subordinates, Xiao Wancheng was unmoved.
Just pinch the lid of the teacup and gently scrape it around the rim to smooth the steam of the tea.
"Tsk, I don't need to say any more. To go or not to be small, the hidden entanglement of interests behind this is two words. ”
"If you don't go to the Yang family, do you think there will be a loss?"
- "This ......"
The guards looked at each other, and it was difficult to say anything more.
They were all internal members of the Black Yao Supervision Envoy's system, and no matter what they thought, they still had to absolutely obey Xiao Wancheng's orders.
Xiao Wancheng smiled slightly, he already knew it in his heart.
"I see what you guys think."
"The status of the Yang family in the Dao Alliance has been getting higher and higher in recent years, in addition to Dongfang and the royal power, the first thing that everyone thinks of is their Yang family."
"You don't dare to go against them in your mouth, but at the same time, you want to control the momentum of their Yang family in your heart, right?"
Several guards were stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Xiao Wancheng let out a 'hmm', raised the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly:
"The Yang family can indeed ignore us, unless we catch their handles."
"However, you have all heard that the son-in-law recruited by Yang Fang is a complete waste, not a Taoist at all."
"Even so, he is still handling his daughter's marriage with great fanfare, you think about what kind of person he is."
When the guards heard this, they understood a little bit.
Yang Fang is quite upright, and he can even give up his face when necessary, and it is impossible for him to have any handle to arrest them.
Xiao Wancheng smiled and took a long breath.
"You still have a lot to learn."
"When to make a move, when to wait and see, every step is exquisite."
"The Yang family's chess is going to be killed sooner or later, but the opportunity hasn't come yet, they always have a chance to do work."
Xiao Wancheng's brows were slightly lowered, showing a bit of a ruthless yin owl color.
It was at this moment that someone suddenly came to report from outside the door.
"Report!"
"Come in."
Xiao Wancheng saw the figure of his familiar subordinates and waved his hand to several guards beside him.
Soon, several guards consciously dispersed and walked out of the hall, not daring to listen to a word of confidential information.
After all, it is a supervisory organization, and it is taboo to easily leak the news, which is also the rule set by Xiao Wancheng.
"It's the matter of the Yang family's son-in-law that I asked you to investigate before, how is it going?"
Xiao Wancheng didn't seem to have any expectations, and he didn't even look back, just drinking tea while talking.
The messenger who came to report the news quickly walked to Xiao Wancheng's side and whispered a few words to Xiao Wancheng.
“……”
“……?!”
Soon, Xiao Wancheng's expression first changed from calm to full of amazement, and then quickly changed to indescribable ecstasy.
What he heard was obviously about the Kito Nao and the Mountain Demon.
"What you say is true?!"
"It's true, but we only have human evidence, no physical evidence, and we can't do anything if that nerd bites him to death."
"Hahahaha...... It would be better if he didn't do it with one bite! ”
Xiao Wancheng laughed, the folds on his face became deeper and deeper, and he was already close to a little distorted in the back.
"Helping demons to abuse? It's really a good show...... Isn't this the opportunity? ”
"If he bites to death and doesn't admit it, the Yang family will lose all this piece of chess."
"If he admits it, the Yang family can only abandon their son."
"No matter which step they take, they can't survive this step......"
As he spoke, Xiao Wancheng's two fingers had already clamped the black chess, and one hand flew wildly, trapping all the white chess pieces in it.
————————
It was close to noon.
After the bumps of ships and transfer horses, Dongfang Guyue and his party finally arrived at a town not far from Yang's mansion.
The Yang family's wedding was scheduled for the afternoon, and there were still a few hours before that time.
Dongfang Guyue asked his subordinates to rent the inn, brought their luggage and some of the gifts they had with them, and waited until the two daughters had made arrangements before letting Lin Ye and the other disciples settle down.
Lin Ye's room was on the second floor, and as soon as he entered the box of the inn, he heard a lot of noise outside.
Push open the window and look, ho, there is a lively street scene outside the window.
It seems that because the whole street has heard the news of the Yang family's wedding, large and small merchants have set up stalls here to take advantage of the opportunity.
Fishers, antiques, snacks, tricks, and even those who sell their magic skills......
This entire street has completely become a temple fair.
This made Lin Ye still sit still.
I now have the miraculous skills of the six library immortal thieves, and a lot of food is waiting for me at the bottom, isn't it tyrannical to sit here in a daze?
After all, there is no Dongfang family's stove here, and no one cooks for himself.
Lin Ye quickly went downstairs to find Dongfang Guyue, said hello to him, and went out.
Dongfang Guyue is not worried, there is nothing in the things that Lin Ye promised him at the moment that makes him bother.
"Lin Ye, the wedding will start soon, you have to remember to go back quickly, don't delay."
"Yes."
Lin Ye was walking out, and Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly grabbed his father's sleeve.
"Master, I want to ...... too"
"Silly girl, you call me Master in the villa, what else do you call Master outside?"
"Daddy......"
was stunned by his father's words, and Dongfang Huaizhu's little face turned red with shame all of a sudden.
"You also want to hang out with Senior Brother Lin, don't you?"
"Hmm!"
