Chapter 1116

In the council hall of the Heike family, many elders and offerings all fell silent.

If they still suspected that Ba Qingyan was telling a joke just now, then they didn’t dare to have any doubts anymore.

There is no reason for more than a dozen clansmen to jointly tell such a big lie to their high-level. The only explanation is that it is the truth！

“There is such a young junior？” Ian took a deep breath, with a hint of shock between his brows, and then sighed： “Why wasn’t he born in my Heike family？ If he was born in my family…”

His words spoke the minds of everyone. If such a powerful young man was a member of the Heike family, then the prosperity of the family would surely be just around the corner, and it wouldn’t be so cowardly to be a peripheral force of the Shadow Moon Palace anymore.

The peripheral force is just a title. To put it nicely, it does have some relationship with the Shadow Moon Palace. To put it badly, they are just attached to the name of the Shadow Moon Palace, offering some supplies every year, and the Shadow Moon Palace doesn’t come to trouble them.

They don’t get any benefits from the Shadow Moon Palace, and even as long as the Shadow Moon Palace is willing, it can disband this family at any time.

“Patriarch, although this Yang Kai wasn’t born in our clan, it doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t be used by us.” The beautiful woman named Huang Juan, who had spoken before, suddenly said with a smile.

“Oh？ What does Elder Huang mean…” Ian immediately looked at her with joy.

Huang Juan pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “Elder Ba just said that Wu Yi that little girl, in order to protect him, even didn’t hesitate to say something like leaving the clan. In my opinion, their relationship is probably not simple. At the very least, Wu Yi has some feelings for that kid.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes lit up！

“Elder Huang is right.” Warren also nodded in agreement, and said with a look of excitement, “Wu Yi is not bad looking, and her talent is also one of the best in our clan. If that Yang Kai really has any thoughts about Wu Yi, it would make sense. We just need to matchmake the two of them. There’s no guarantee that it won’t be a good thing. However, before that, we have to find out the origin of that young man. He was able to kill Xu Zhishen with the cultivation base of Saint Realm. He must not be an unknown nobody. Does anyone have any ideas？”

“Do you think he could be Fang Tianzhong, the number one expert of the younger generation of Lei Tai Sect？ It is said that Fang Tianzhong has the strength to kill enemies across levels. Well, Wei Guchang of Shadow Moon Palace also has this strength, and Qu Changfeng of Battle Heaven Alliance too. Could Yang Kai just be an alias of one of them？ Otherwise, why haven’t we heard of this name？” Someone raised a question.

“Definitely not them！ These monstrous geniuses are already at the Saint King Realm. I’m afraid they have already reached the third level of the Saint King Realm by now, which is a whole great realm higher than Yang Kai. There is no relationship between them at all.”

“Regarding his background, this old man knows a little.” An old man with a goatee said in a deep voice. After attracting everyone’s attention, he continued, “I heard from my son that when Wu Yi came back from mining outside last time, Yu Feng picked up a person in the starry sky. Yang Kai should be that person.”

“Picked up？” The group of people were dumbfounded. Could such a young man with outstanding qualifications also be picked up？

Ian’s expression moved. He looked at one of the people present and smiled, saying, “Elder Chang, when Wu Yi led people to mine outside last time, I remember you followed along, right？ Do you know anything about that Yang Kai？”

Chang Qi frowned. He had a good relationship with Wu Yi and had taken care of Wu Yi many times in the family. When he heard today that Wu Yi was forced to leave the family, he was very dissatisfied with Ba Qingyan’s actions. Originally, he didn’t want to express any opinions, but now that the clan leader asked, even if he didn’t want to say it, he couldn’t help but say it.

After all, when Yu Feng picked up Yang Kai and when Yang Kai broke free from that blood-red crystal, he was present and knew Yang Kai’s background better than anyone here.

After pondering for a while, he briefly described what had happened at that time.

The expressions of the crowd changed. None of them had expected that Yang Kai’s background was so strange, actually emerging from a blood-red crystal.

However, very quickly, Huang Juan giggled and said, “Now that we know his background, it’s much easier to handle. He might not be an unknown nobody in the outside world, but since he’s come to the Dark Star, he has no relatives or any backers here. Although our Hake Family isn’t large, it’s still a local force. If we take the initiative to show kindness to him, he has no reason to refuse. Moreover, the Dragon Cave Mountain where he currently resides is also our family’s property.”

“What Huang Gongfeng said is right. Young people are, after all, a bit hot-headed, but everyone has a love for beauty. Judging from his appearance, he does have some thoughts about Wu Yi. We just need to properly matchmake them.” Immediately, someone stood up to agree, and many others also nodded in succession.

“Not appropriate！” Suddenly, an opposing voice rang out.

Ian cast his gaze over and asked in a gentle voice, “Why does Elder Ba think it’s not appropriate？”

Ian hadn’t expected that the first person to oppose would be Ba Qingyan.

Ba Qingyan said in a deep voice, “First, that Yang Kai killed Xu Zhishen today. Although he showed great strength and extraordinary combat power, if it wasn’t related to the Hundred Peaks Map, the Xu family might swallow their pride and let this matter go, asking him for some compensation to save face. But the Hundred Peaks Map has been snatched away. Even if the Xu family is more afraid of that Yang Kai, they definitely won’t let it rest. If our clan shows favor to that Yang Kai now, we will surely have a serious falling-out with the Xu family.”

“What kind of thing is the Xu family? Will our Heike family be afraid of the Xu family? Isn’t Elder Ba a bit too overly worried?” The elder named Warren snorted coldly.

“That’s right, Elder Ba. The Hundred Peaks Map is not in the Xu family. We really don’t need to be afraid of them. Maybe we can take this opportunity to annex the Xu family’s power！”

As soon as these words came out, many people were moved.

They were all very afraid of the Xu family’s Hundred Peaks Map, but now that this kind of secret treasure is gone, what the hell are they still afraid of? Dealing with the Xu family can also better befriend that Yang Kai.

Ian frowned, not in a hurry to express his opinion, and looked at Ba Qingyan and said, “Elder Ba, continue.”

Ba Qingyan glanced at those elders and enshrinements who were high-spirited and wished they could go and wipe out the Xu family right now, and sneered, “You’re not afraid of the Xu family, but what about the Shadowmoon Palace？”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon seemed to remember something, and suddenly showed a look of fear.

“We and the Xu family are both peripheral families of the Shadowmoon Palace. The Shadowmoon Palace will indeed not interfere in this kind of dispute. However, Wu Yi is the person favored by Xie Hongwen. If we act without authorization and match Wu Yi with Yang Kai, do you think Xie Hongwen will ignore it? A mere Xie Hongwen is not to be feared, but he has a father who is a deacon of the Shadowmoon Palace! The status of a deacon in the Shadowmoon Palace is certainly not high. but it is also not something that our Heike family can provoke.”

“What Elder Ba said is very true.” Ian nodded. “Although Yang Kai is good, he has no foundation after all. He is just one person. If we offend Xie Hongwen because we want to befriend him, it is really not worth it. Well, it seems that this matter has to be carefully considered. We must not only attract that Yang Kai, but also not offend Xie Hongwen. Elder Ba, you are thoughtful. Why not go to Dragon Cave Mountain again and see what that person needs. We can give him what he likes. If he really has a love for beauty, there are also many unmarried girls in our Heike family. Several of them are no worse in appearance than Wu Yi. It doesn’t matter if we promise them to him. As long as he can serve our family, we can afford a few girls in the family.”

“Obey the order of the Patriarch!” Ba Qingyan stood up and bowed slightly. After thinking about it, he said again, “Patriarch, how should we deal with that Saint-level alchemist named Yang Yan? Her array attainments should not be bad.

“Elder Ba, act as you see fit. We do indeed need a array master, but that Yang Yan is young. Even if she has some attainments in the array, I’m afraid they’re not very profound. This time the most important thing is still that Yang Kai.”

“Yes.”

Since the family head had said so, Ba Qingyan couldn’t refute. But he felt vaguely that the formation Yang Yan arranged wasn’t that simple. Perhaps her value was even greater than that of a Yang Kai.

After leaving the council hall, Ba Qingyan didn’t immediately rush to Dragon Cave Mountain. He knew in his heart that Yang Kai didn’t like him very much. If he went now, he would definitely be turned away. Moreover, Yang Kai had just broken through to the Saint King Realm and was most likely in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.

Stabilize his cultivation？ Ba Qingyan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a good thing. He hurried to the family’s treasury and took out a jade box from it. Opening the jade box, there was a pill the size of a longan inside, exuding a pungent fragrance.

If one were to say what Yang Kai needed the most right now, it should be this Saint King Pill, right? Ba Qingyan smiled proud ly and walked out of the treasury.

In the cave of Dragon Cave Mountain, Yang Kai was in seclusion, and Yang Yan, with the assistance of Wu Yi, was sorting out those materials according to their categories.

The materials Yang Kai had were in a mess, of all grades, and the quantity was extremely large. The two women were dizzy from sorting, but they also enjoyed it. They didn’t expect Yang Kai’s storage to be so rich.

Suddenly, Wu Yi laughed, her body shaking with mirth.

Yang Yan looked at her in confusion： “What are you laughing at？”

Wu Yi said： “I’m laughing at how sly Yang Kai is.”

“How is he sly？” Yang Yan became curious.

“When I picked him up, he only had one spatial ring, and it was stolen by Yu Feng. I felt sorry for him and gave him a few Saint Crystals. Now that I think about it, he clearly had other spatial rings, and I don’t know where he hid them！ Otherwise, how could he have so many Saint Crystals and materials? At that time, he looked at me with a moved expression and thanked me a thousand times. I thought I had done a good deed, but it turns out I was deceived by him long ago.”

“Well, he is indeed quite sly.” Yang Yan nodded. “But those Saint Crystals have nothing to do with him. I helped him earn them.”

Wu Yi was puzzled and before she could ask, Yu Feng, who had gone out to purchase materials, returned.

“How is it？” Wu Yi asked.

“It’s so refreshing！” Yu Feng grinned. “Miss, you don’t know. I’ve never enjoyed such supreme treatment. Those shops selling materials almost treated me like their grandpa. The feeling of spending a lot of money is really wonderful. Even several beautiful girls were making eyes at me.”
