Chapter 1192: Chapter 1190: The So-Called Chess Game!

One of the elders glanced at Ren Feifan before addressing Song Xinzu:

"Miss Song, throughout these years, our Lei Family has maintained a good relationship with the Wuji Sect, which is why your master sent you here, after all. Therefore, I hope Miss Song can consider this relationship and withdraw your killing intent, so as not to spoil this joyful occasion. Should you really wish to raise a dispute, I fear that we, the elders, will not be able to extend our hospitality any further."

Song Xinzu swept an indifferent gaze over the elders and completely disregarded the threat, instead looking earnestly at Ren Feifan: "Master, how should we handle this matter? Xinzu will follow your lead."

Ren Feifan did not wish to escalate the situation either. The pressing matter was to find a way to rescue Ye Qingcheng. If Song Xinzu were to take action now, even though she was sufficiently powerful, it would be equivalent to alerting the enemy prematurely, which was undesirable.

Thus, after a moment of thought, he said directly: "Today is a day of great joy for the Ye family. If it’s possible to avoid trouble, let’s do so. Put your sword away immediately, and by the way, apologize to the Ye family."

"Yes, Master!"

Song Xinzu immediately withdrew her killing intent, and the Cold Sword in her hand completely vanished.

At this moment, everyone finally felt some relief, their breathing stabilized, and they all let out a long sigh.

Song Xinzu thought the matter was resolved, only to have Ren Feifan’s voice transmitted directly into her mind:

"Song Xinzu, I have a task for you. Find a way for me to be alone with Ye Qingcheng, I would like to have a word with her!"

Song Xinzu glanced at Ren Feifan, remained silent, and subtly nodded her head before she walked over to Ye Youde, saying earnestly: "Elder Ye, I was reckless today."

Ye Youde could hardly accept Song Xinzu’s apology, repeatedly waving his hands and saying: "No, no, no, it’s I who dealt with this matter poorly, and I have inadvertently offended your friend. I am also to blame..."

Song Xinzu pursed her lips in a smile, walked straight toward Ye Qingcheng, who was atop the high platform, while saying: "Elder Ye, my apology is not meant for you, but for Miss Ye.

Throughout this whole process, all of us have been considering our own dignity and interests, but who has thought about Miss Ye?

Would Miss Ye wish for such an incident to occur at her momentous occasion?"

With such ease, Song Xinzu approached Ye Qingcheng, who was wearing a veil. Had it been anyone else, the elders would certainly have blocked in front of Ye Qingcheng, not allowing anyone to come close.

But this time, they chose to trust Song Xinzu.

As Song Xinzu reached Ye Qingcheng’s side, she appeared to be very sincerely apologizing to Ye Qingcheng, but covertly, she transmitted her voice into Ye Qingcheng’s ear:

"Later I will find a way to get Ye Youde to give us a chance to meet alone. By that time, I will have arranged for the master to show up early. The master has something to tell you. If you understand, just nod your head."

Song Xinzu’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered and subtly nodded her head.

"Good, if there is any need to cooperate, you must help me, otherwise it will be hard to escape the watchful eyes of those old fellows. If you understand, nod your head again."

Song Xinzu nodded again.

Having confirmed all responses, Song Xinzu walked down from the platform. To the onlookers, her expression still seemed very sincere. As she passed by Ye Youde, she even dropped a comment: "Elder Ye, can the banquet continue now?"

...

Shortly thereafter, the banquet resumed according to the original sequence.

During this time, Ye Youde also formally announced the alliance between the Lei Family and the Ye family from the stage, eliciting a round of applause from the audience!

Everyone was acutely aware that this Ye family banquet would henceforth change the status of two powers within the Outer Hidden Sect.

One was naturally the Ye family of the Outer Hidden Sect, and the other was the Lu Family of the Outer Hidden Sect.

Lu Fei spent the entire process in somewhat of a daze, as numerous people came to toast with him. Those young masters of prominent families, who had once sneered at him, were now unprecedentedly engaging in small talk with Lu Fei, obviously attempting to curry favor.

Even Qiu Heng, astonishingly, brought his burly subordinate over to apologize to him, clearly bowing his head.

Though these young masters from big families were all proud and haughty, they were sharp-witted and knew how to assess the situation. They had thought that the Lu family would be doomed because of that young man, but to their utter surprise, this very young man turned out to be the Lu family’s benefactor.

Representing the Inner Hidden Gate’s Wuji Sect, everyone wanted to make connections with Song Xinzu, but no one expected that Lu Fei would do it with such ease!

All because of that unidentified youth!

Ren Feifan!

The banquet continued until eight o’clock in the evening and then concluded, with all the guests leaving one after another. Ren Feifan also took his leave from Lu Fei, having arranged a time to drink together.

Watching the hall empty to just a few people, as Ren Feifan was pondering how to excuse himself to stay, Ye Youde approached Ren Feifan and Song Xinzu, saying, "The night is late, both of you. Why not stay at the Ye residence for the night? I have already instructed the servants to prepare rooms."

Ren Feifan was inwardly elated, thinking it was as if heaven itself was aiding him!

In fact, Ye Youde knew this was the best opportunity to establish relations with the Inner Hidden Gate; he couldn’t place all his bets on the Lei family.

The various behaviors of Young Master Lei were quite worrying to him, making him feel he needed to keep a backup plan!

And this mysterious youth and Song Xinzu were his backup.

Song Xinzu looked at Ye Youde’s expectant eyes and nodded, "That’s fine. Actually, Elder Ye hasn’t mentioned one thing to you."

Ye Youde was taken aback, asking in surprise, "What’s that?"

"My master sent me to the Ye family for two reasons. Firstly, to certainly congratulate the Ye family, and secondly, because my master entrusted me with an important matter related to Miss Ye. My master has laid out a grand strategy, which concerns the fortune of our Wuji Sect and, of course, your Ye family’s fortune as well. If this strategy succeeds, your Ye family could potentially become the foremost family of the Outer Hidden Sect and might even rise to be a family within the Inner Hidden Gate!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye Youde felt as if he had been struck dumb with happiness, his breathing rapid, "Is this true, Miss Song?"

Seeing his disbelief, Song Xinzu snorted coldly, "I wouldn’t dare to spread my master’s will falsely. This is utterly true. If you don’t believe it, I might as well leave now."

"No no no, of course I believe..." Ye Youde hurriedly exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement, "Then Miss Song, what do you need me to do?"

Song Xinzu shook her head, "You need to understand that the key to this game is your granddaughter, Ye Qingcheng. You needn’t do anything, just wait honestly to take your seat as the head of the Outer Hidden Sect.

However, I need you to prepare a room for me that can conceal one’s energy. Then, I wish to have a proper talk with Ye Qingcheng; this is also my master’s wish.

I suppose you wouldn’t want anyone from the Lei Family to be aware of this matter. You should know what to do, right? Oh yes, my master is also aware of this matter and will be fully involved."

Ye Youde hesitated for a minute, giving Ren Feifan a deep glance before succumbing to the temptation Song Xinzu had cast and nodding, "Very well, Ye would like to thank Miss Song in advance here."

Ren Feifan coldly observed the unfolding scene, unable to help but admire Song Xinzu; with just a few words, she had fully mobilized Ye Youde’s greed, and furthermore, she had accomplished the task he had arranged, truly extraordinary.
