After Rujun and I discussed this issue, the atmosphere became extremely awkward, because this topic is very sensitive, and it will definitely be difficult for Rujun if it continues.
And I also understand that it is very difficult for Rujun to tell me these things, so I definitely don’t want to cause any more trouble to Rujun, and I will not continue to force Rujun to say anything that is inconvenient for her to say.
After a moment of silence, I decided to change the topic and asked: "Rujun, why did you come to me this time? You seem to be very anxious?"
Seeing that I didn't ask any more about the sedan, Rujun was obviously relieved. He also glanced at me gratefully and said, "Lin Yang, it's actually not something that you are too nervous about, but this matter is related to the Xu family."
As soon as I heard about the Xu family, I became nervous again and quickly asked: "The Xu family is going to attack me again?"
Rujun smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not the case. If that were the case, then I would definitely not be as calm as I am now. Here's the thing. The Xu family has encircled and suppressed you three times before, but all three times they failed.
Well, on the surface, the Xu family only lost one Xu Fengxian and one Xu Jie, but in fact the price paid by the Xu family was far more than what we saw."
"Oh?" I asked quickly: "What's the other price?"
Rujun said: "You also know that the Xu family's last round of encirclement and suppression against you was actually authorized by the envoys. The envoys... they are actually the executors of the laws of the people in the sedan chair. Their main responsibility is to reconcile Yin and Yang and try to make things as smooth as possible.
The two worlds, the underworld and the earth, are separated."
I nodded and said, "Understood."
Rujun continued: "The reason why the envoy agreed to the Xu family's attack on you is because your previous actions have seriously affected the independence of the Yin and Yang worlds, and all the people in the underworld are uneasy because of your existence.
, and there are also many living people in the underworld who know about the subway and the underworld... Therefore, the Xu family took this opportunity to send an application to the envoy and decided to let the envoy decide your life or death."
I frowned and asked, "So the envoy's decision is to sacrifice a few of us to ensure the independence of the underworld and the earth?"
Rujun nodded and said: "Smart, that's it. The envoy felt that you knew too much and had a great influence on the Yin and Yang worlds, so they agreed to the Xu family's application and decided to let the Xu family come forward to try to make it possible for the gods to know the ghosts.
I will kill you all."
After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry. I suddenly thought of the appearance of Wu Min and Pang Xiaotu. I didn't expect that these two seemingly innocent children could decide our life or death in an instant.
Seeing the change in my expression, Rujun understood what I meant instantly and said, "Of course, you don't have to get angry in a hurry. The messengers are very rational. They rarely consider issues from a personal perspective. They make decisions like this."
It’s all for the sake of peace between the Yin and Yang realms.”
Although I know what Rujun said is right, but my life is at stake, and I really can't keep calm.
Rujun did not pay attention to my reaction, but continued: "But fortunately, the Xu family did not succeed in killing you last time because of the obstruction of the crazy Taoist and the third grandfather. Not only that, they also caused trouble in the city, and your whole place
The residents of the residential building are already aware of this matter. You must know that this is what the messengers least want to see. They will never allow the actions of the ghosts in the underworld to be known to the living people, let alone cause widespread panic in the underworld...
Therefore, the Xu family's actions this time made them very dissatisfied, and the Xu family completely lost the trust and support of the envoy."
When I heard this, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or angry. At least from this point of view, the messenger seemed to be just doing a routine, without any emotion, almost like a robot.
Rujun smiled softly, suddenly stretched out his hand, held my hand on the table, and said: "Lin Yang, at least for now, you have survived. Although the Xu family will definitely not let you go, but they
Obviously I still dare not continue to embarrass you in a big way, because of the envoy, as long as you no longer create large-scale chaos, the envoy will not come to embarrass you for the time being."
I nodded, feeling Rujun's warm and jade-like palm gently pressing my hand, and my face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Rujun seemed to be aware of the abnormality and quickly retracted his hand and said: "Even if the Xu family wants to plot against you now, they will definitely not blatantly intercept and kill you. Although you definitely still need to stay vigilant, there is no need to act like
It felt like you were facing a formidable enemy a few days ago. So Lin Yang, you must take this opportunity to train yourself so that you can deal with things in the future."
I nodded quickly. Rujun's words are indeed very important to me, and I will definitely obey them.
When she said this, Rujun suddenly glanced at me. There seemed to be some deep meaning in my eyes, but I couldn't tell it to me.
I asked tentatively: "Rujun, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Rujun smiled and said: "It's not an important matter, it's just a chore among our four major families."
I frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and asked: "Rujun, we are all old friends. We have experienced so much together, why can't we share it? What about the four major families? Is it because of the dialogue between the Wang family last time?
The Xu family was dissatisfied with you because they were all exterminated?"
Rujun shook his head and said: "Although it's almost the same, it's not a bad thing. In fact, since the last incident, the structure of the four major families in the underworld has undergone earth-shaking changes. Bai Lanshan was born in the Bai family. Although he is still a newborn calf, given time,
He is definitely a man who has shaken things up in the Forty-Nine City, and the Chen family has another rookie, Chen Xiaoqing, who is better than his great-grandfather Chen Xuance in terms of courage and strategy. In the future, he will definitely be a character who outperforms others... Even we
Both the Wang family and Haoran have a share of the Bai family's ancestral tombs. In addition, the Wang family has always spent resources to cultivate Haoran. In the future, Haoran will definitely be a figure who can stand alone. In this way, the Xu family is actually the most powerful.
, in the end, there was no advantage anymore..."
I nodded. What Rujun said is indeed correct. If measures are not taken in time, the Xu family may very well lose its position as the leader in the future.
Rujun continued: "But the fierce ghosts of the Xu family are all sophisticated and will obviously not let such a thing happen, so they have already begun to take action. I don't know if there are powerful characters in the younger generation of their clan, but I am sure.
The only thing they can do is to use a win-win strategy to build good relations with the other four major families."
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't disturb him, so I could only listen patiently to what Rujun continued to say.
Rujun continued: "The method of wooing is actually very simple. From ancient times to the present, only a marriage contract can bring two completely different families with different surnames together. The four major families have actually had many marriages before.
But as time goes by, the lifespan of some married ghosts has come to an end, and some female ghosts have completely integrated into the man's family, so now it seems that those marriage contracts no longer count."
The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong, but I didn’t dare to interrupt, so I could only continue listening.
Rujun said again: "This time, the person advocating for marriage is none other than the Xu family, which has no outstanding figures in the younger generation. They may have considered that we and the Bai family had already broken up before, and the structure of the four major families
There will be a change soon, so I came up with this strategy, and there are two marriage partners this time."
I frowned and asked quickly: "One of them is Bai Lanshan?"
Rujun nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed one Bai Lanshan. Because Bai Lanshan has too much potential, the Xu family must win over her, and now the Bai family is at the end of its rope, although Bai Lanshan seemed to have already
With my favorite goal in mind, I did not agree with the Xu family quickly, but now it seems that if Bai Lanshan does not compromise with the Xu family, then the Bai family will most likely be removed from the four major families soon."
Bai Lanshan's previous favorite target... When I heard this sentence, I couldn't help but take a breath. Fortunately, I didn't agree to Bai Lanshan's request. Otherwise, I would have completely offended the Xu family.
"Then there is another one?" I asked quickly: "Who is the other marriage partner of the Xu family?"
Rujun smiled bitterly, suddenly showed a sad expression, and whispered in a low voice that I could barely hear: "It's me."
