Chapter 124: Conversation

  In the afternoon, Winter took three spiritual beasts out to play. Yang Yu Xi and Zhou Yu Xiao moved the wooden table and chairs outside, sat opposite each other, basking in the sunlight, and Yang Yu Xi told Zhou Yu Xiao about her previous conversation with Huo Qi Ma.

  Mudusthen sat back on the branch of a big tree, gazing into the distance, not knowing if he was listening to Yang Yuxi's words, nor what he was looking at.

  Yang Yu Xi spread out his hands, picked up the teapot in front of him and poured a few mouthfuls, casually wiping his mouth: "That's it."

  Zhou Yu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her right hand gently supporting her head, and the long eyelashes were covered with sunlight. She pursed her lips, looked up at Yang Yu Xi, and said, "Yu Xi, be careful."

  "What am I being careful about? Are they going to kill me if I don't help them?" Yang Yu Xi sneered.

  "Yes." Zhou Yu Xiao nodded very firmly, her face very serious. "Don't underestimate this family with a long tradition, many families have histories that are much longer than the Great Zhou Dynasty. When facing such a family, even the imperial court wouldn't choose to offend them lightly."

  Zhou Yu Xiao paused for a moment and added: "Some ancient families may have a deeper foundation than the Great Zhou Dynasty."

  Yang Yu Xi's eyes were no longer so casual, he straightened his body and asked in a low voice: "Is what you said true?"

  Zhou Yu Xiao nodded: "Of course it's true."

  "Whoosh"

  The soft sound of dust fell beside the two, and a leaf slowly floated onto his shoulder. He looked at Yang Yuxi and said, "Yu Xiao was right. The Great Zhou Dynasty is called the strongest dynasty, but its lifespan is only about a hundred years. A hundred years, for some aristocratic families, is just a fleeting moment. Some of them have been active on this continent since ancient times, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, perhaps more than ordinary people see in their lifetime."

  The voice of Mochenyin was flat, but it seemed to have a faint fragrance wafting around: "To be honest, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not really taken seriously by some ancient families. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty claims to be the strongest dynasty in the world and suppresses all sides, where can it rank in the rolling history? Those dynasties that are more powerful than the Great Zhou Dynasty ultimately cannot escape the fate of destruction. But those families have survived. So don't think the Great Zhou Dynasty is that great."

  After a pause, Mu Chenyin's gaze looked towards the endless desert in the distance, his tone was flat as if he was talking about something ordinary: "In the eyes of some aristocratic families, the Great Zhou Dynasty is just another clown on the stage of history."

  Zhou Yu Xiao felt somewhat displeased and interrupted Mu Chen Yin: "Brother..."

  Mudan Yun stopped talking and said faintly: "Oh okay, I won't say it."

  Yang Yu Xi was shocked, staring blankly at Mu Chen Yin. One hundred years was an extremely long time for him, although the life of a powerful cultivator far exceeded one hundred years, but one hundred years was not a short period of time for anyone.

  But Mocheng Yin said that a hundred years is just a fleeting moment for some ancient families, so how long have these ancient families existed?

  Yang Yu Xi finally realized that he had underestimated these ancient aristocratic families, and it was a severe underestimation!

  Underestimating the ancient family, then underestimating the pride in Huo Qiema's heart, it seems that one's own demands are a bit excessive...

  Yang Yu Xi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling that things were a bit difficult to handle. Since the evil spirits were about to emerge, he had to gather his strength. If the Ba tribe was indeed one of the ancient great tribes, then its power would be very precious to him.

  After some thought, Yang Yu Xi felt that it was too late to salvage anything now. Although the power of the Ba Zu was precious, it wasn't indispensable. The year of solitary training had taught Yang Yu Xi that in this world, the only one he could rely on was himself.

  Even without the Overlord Clan, I must still stop the evil powers!

  Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!

  Yang Yu Xi shook her head and no longer bothered with the affairs of the overbearing clan after re-examining her faith.

  Wait...

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly thought of the brief conversation between Zhou Yu Xiao and Mu Chen Yin earlier.

  "Ahhh!!!!!!"

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly jumped up from his seat, one hand pointing at Zhou Yu Xiao and the other hand pointing at Mu Chen Yin, his voice stuttering: "He he he, he is the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, you you you, you call him...call him brother, then then you are......ahhhhhh!!!"

  Yang Yu Xi went "ah" for a long time, making Zhou Yu Xiao think he had lost his ability to speak. In the end, it was Mu Chen Yin who covered his mouth that the world returned to calmness.

  "What's wrong?" Zhou Yuxiao asked with a suppressed smile.

  Yang Yu Xi's mouth was sealed by Mo Chen Yin, unable to open it, and could only make vague sounds: "Hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm... hmm hmm hmm hmm..."

  Yang Yu Xi's eyes kept wandering between Zhou Yu Xiao and Mu Chen Yin, as if she had received a great shock.

  Mudan Yun rubbed his forehead in a somewhat speechless manner, turned to face Zhou Yu Xiao and said: "I knew he would react like this, that's why I didn't let you tell him."

  Zhou Yu Xiao playfully stuck out her tongue, turned around to look at Yang Yu Xi, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Yu Xi, don't make too much noise, or my brother will get impatient. His temper isn't very good..."

  Yang Yu Xi's body suddenly tensed up, his eyes secretly scanning towards Mu Chen Yin. Mu Chen Yin wasn't even looking at him, his head turned to the side again, seemingly unaware of Zhou Yu Xiao mocking him.

  But this time Yang Yu Xi won't think he's sightseeing, he's clearly ready to hit himself at any moment!

  Look at his hands, hanging quietly by his side, as if ready to slap himself at any moment!

  Yang Yu Xi felt more and more terrified, hastily nodding at Zhou Yu Xiao to indicate that she absolutely wouldn't make a big fuss.

  Mudan Yin lightly plucked her fingers, and Yang Yuxi's seal was lifted.

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly opened his mouth, but then closed it again after seeing Mu Chen Yin's gaze, and lowered his voice to say to Zhou Yu Xiao: "You're a princess!?"

  "What's wrong? Doesn't it look like me?" Zhou Yuxiao smiled lightly as usual.

  Yang Yu Xi looked at her for a moment and nodded heavily: "Like, like a princess! That's why someone doesn't look like an imperial prince..."

  "Whoosh!"

  A cold gaze as chilly as snow made Yang Yuxi shudder all over.

  "Haha, just kidding!" Yang Yu Xi waved her hand with a smiling face.

  Zhou Yu Xiao helplessly shook his head and suddenly asked seriously: "Yu Xi, are you going to help them or not?"

  Yang Yu Xi also composed himself and said in a low voice: "I have set conditions."

  "What? What conditions?" It was Mu Chenyin who spoke up, and now whenever Yang Yuxi heard Mu Chenyin's voice, she couldn't help but shudder.

  Yang Yu Xi steadied himself before saying: "I said that if they rise up, they need to treat me with respect for a hundred years."

  As soon as Yang Yu Xi's words fell, neither Zhou Yu Xiao nor Mu Chen Yin spoke up. They were both staring at Yang Yu Xi in shock, clearly not having expected that the usually brainless Yang Yu Xi would come up with such a condition.

  "What's wrong with you?" Yang Yu Xi sneered, "I'm not a complete idiot, okay?"

  "Alright..." Zhou Yu Xiao silently rubbed his forehead, then said, "Yu Xi, if this condition can be fulfilled, it would bring you enormous benefits."

  "Of course I knew that..." Yang Yu Xi let out a bitter laugh, "But after hearing you guys talk about how powerful the ancient clans are, now I feel like they won't even bother to respond to me..."

  "They will agree." Murong Yun interjected.

  "Why are they so proud?" Yang Yu Xi looked up at him.

  "They are very proud, but they're not stupid."

  "What does it mean?"

  Mudan Yin withdrew her gaze from the horizon and said, "When faced with extinction, they will agree to anything."

  Then, Mu Chenyin's eyes were filled with vicissitudes, which made Yang Yuxi slightly taken aback, feeling that this man had finally revealed some worldly aura.

  Mudan didn't say anything else and turned around to leave, leaving only Yang Yuxi and Zhou Yuqiao behind.

  "What's wrong with him?" Yang Yu Xi looked at Mu Chen Yin's distant back and scratched his head in inquiry.

  "I don't know." Zhou Yuxiao shook her head and said, "Brother is just like that, even Father Emperor can't do anything about him."

  Yang Yu Xi seemed to understand and nodded, then found a very poor reason: "Huh, the man known as one of the three greats of Da Zhou, how could he not be special?"

  Zhou Yuxiao was amused and covered her mouth to laugh, her smile blooming like a flower, stunning the nation. Yang Yu Xi looked at her in a daze.

  Zhou Yuxiao felt Yang Yu Xi's gaze, her face flushed with a burning heat, her heart racing suddenly, her eyes wandering aimlessly.

  "Uh..." Yang Yu Xi also felt his own loss of composure, and scratched his head in embarrassment, trying to think of a way to change the subject. "Uh, that... how did you end up here, Yu Xiao?"

  Zhou Yu let out a breath and replied: "Recently, the borders of the four directions have been somewhat restless, so Father Emperor sent me and my brother to come to the Western Desert first to investigate."

  "Huh? Are we going to fight again?"

  Zhou Yuxiao shook her head: "I don't know, but it's true that there are movements in all directions. It's unclear whether there will be a war."

  "The four nations are actually making a move at the same time, it seems that the situation is quite serious!" Yang Yu Xi muttered.

  "Uh, brother said that if the four countries launch a war at the same time, it will be the most terrifying war since the founding of Great Zhou!" Zhou Yuxiao's face was solemn, with worry hanging on her perfect features.

  "Yes, I truly hope there won't be a war." Yang Yu Xi felt somewhat sentimental, then suddenly asked, "The four nations are all making moves, the Western Rong side has you and Mu Chen Yin, so who are the other three sides?"

  Zhou Yuxiao replied softly: "Hmm... In the north, it's Nie Han, one of the Three Heroes of Great Zhou. In the south, it's also one of the Three Heroes of Great Zhou, Ru Qiusheng."

  "Nie Hancheng brother, Qiu Sheng brother......" Yang Yuxi was somewhat distracted.

  "Really, does Yu Xi know them?" Zhou Yuxiao asked, raising her head.

  "Hmm, I see. The three of you are all here, it seems that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter! ” Yang Yu Xi thought for a moment and temporarily suppressed the thoughts in her heart about the two of them, then asked, “What about Dong Fang?”

  Zhou Yu Xiao shook her head, looking somewhat puzzled: "I don't know, Father Emperor doesn't seem to have sent anyone to the Eastern faction, I'm also very curious."

  "What? How could this be?" Yang Yu Xi was also stunned.
