At night, the sky gradually darkened, and there were already twinkling stars in the sky. Ye Chen and the three brothers of Qun Jia sat together, surrounded by silence, without a single person.

  This was Ye Chen's deliberate order not to let the three brothers of the Qun family bring anyone!

  "Ye brothers, you've come looking for us. What's going on?" Gun San asked first, looking at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.

  Ye Chen glanced at Qun San and smiled slightly, saying: "About the re-distribution of forces in a few days!"

  Ye Chen thought for a while, feeling that he was too careless at first to try to deceive both families at the same time. He felt that if he didn't ask questions and just waited to see which family would win, it wouldn't be good for him no matter which one became the winner! From the last time Xie Ji scared Ye Chen, after thinking about it for a long time, Ye Chen felt that the three brothers of the Qun family were relatively loyal and righteous, even though they had plotted against him at first.

  "What does Brother Ye mean?" Qun San furrowed his brow and continued to speak.

  Qun Wei and Qun Yu also looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.

  Ye Chen looked at the three of them with a mysterious smile and said in a low voice, "Everyone, if your families can get the support of the city master, how great will be the chance of winning this time?"

  The crowd furrowed their brows and immediately shifted their gaze to Qun Wei, waiting for him to speak.

  "Less than 40%!" The crowd guardian thought for a moment, and then frowned at Ye Chen.

  "Is it that low?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow and said in a soft voice, "What have you all been doing for the past five years?"

  Qun Wei looked at his two brothers and sighed, saying: "Ye brother, I've already told you last time, don't look at our Qun family's superficial prosperity, but it's still not possible. After all, the number of strong people in a family determines the strength or weakness of the family!"

  "Oh! The strong ones in your family. Can't compare to the Xie family?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow. Originally, he thought that the Qun family was at least in third place and had been for five years, but after hearing Qun Wei's words, Ye Chen suspected that the Xie family's power might be much stronger than the Qun family, perhaps even by a lot!

  Qun Wei slightly shook his head and let out a deep sigh. He said helplessly, "I won't hide it from you, Brother Ye. In our Qun family, there are thirty-seven cultivators who have reached the Gathering Qi realm. Twenty-three of them are at the first level of Gathering Qi, while the rest are between the third and fourth levels. Only three people have reached the fifth level of Gathering Qi! However, as for those in the Yuan Dan realm, there are only three of us brothers. Moreover, my two younger brothers are only at the second level of Yuan Dan, while I am at the fifth level. But the foundation of the Xie family is much stronger than ours. Not to mention that the master of the Xie family is at the seventh level of Yuan Dan, even their butler is at the fifth level, and he has four great heavenly kings under him, all of whom are Yuan Dan realm cultivators. As for those in the Gathering Qi realm... I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred!"

  "Is it that strong?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow and asked: "Then how did you become the third family five years ago?"

  "Haha!" A helpless smile from Qun Wei. He continued, "Five years ago, it was just luck on our side! You have to know that although the Xie family is strong, they still have a big gap compared to the Ouyang family and the City Master. Five years ago, the head of the Xie family offended both the Ouyang family and the City Master due to some matters, and was jointly suppressed by them. It was exactly at that time that we relied on the support of the City Master and the Ouyang family to rise to power!"

  "Now, if you continue to get help from both families, can't you just keep it going?" Ye Chen said hastily.

  "It's a different time now! Although Blue Rain City seems calm on the surface, it's actually hiding a killing intent! The City Lord's Manor and the Ouyang Family have already started to oppose each other, I estimate that they will start fighting soon! The Xie Family has already gained the support of the Ouyang Family this time, which means they are standing on their side. If we also want to stand on their side, it's no longer possible. After all, the Ouyang Family will definitely choose the powerful Xie Family. As for the City Lord's side, the gap is too big and there's no one we know, so there's nothing to say!"

  Ye Chen listened to the group's words, his brow furrowed in thought, and then muttered to himself: "That doesn't add up! If it were really as you said, the Ou Yang family would be at odds with the City Master's Manor, and the Xie family has already taken the side of the Ou Yang family. Why would they have me go find the City Master to speak on their behalf?"

  The three of them listened to Ye Chen's words and also suddenly realized, saying in unison: "Yes!"

  "Xie's family looking for me, if Ou Yang's family finds out, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?" Ye Chen felt like he had discovered something.

  "Is that so! Is there some kind of big conspiracy behind this?" Qun San was the most cunning among the three brothers, and he quickly sensed a hint of danger from Ye Chen's words.

  Suddenly, Ye Chen's mind flashed with inspiration, and he looked up at the three of them in shock, saying: "Could it be?!"

  Qun San looked at Ye Chen's appearance and suddenly understood, staring at Ye Chen in shock.

  "What's going on?" Qun Wei asked with a look of urgency.

  Ye Chen turned his head to look at Qun Wei and said in a low voice: "Unless the Xie family knows that the City Master's Mansion and the Ouyang family will not fight!"

  "How is this possible? Now the whole Blue Rain City knows that the City Lord's Manor and the Ouyang Family are at odds, how can they not fight?" Qun Wei hastily asked Ye Chen.

  Qun San wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to look at his older brother, saying in a low voice: "Big Brother, don't you understand? If the City Master and the Ouyang family aren't going to fight, what's the outcome? What was the purpose of them setting off that smoke bomb?"

  Qun Wei and Qun Yu listened to Qun San's words, as if they also understood something, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on their foreheads.

  Ye Chen hastily asked Group Three: "Group Three brother, how many large and small forces are there in Blue Rain City?"

  Qun San furrowed his brow slightly as he listened to Ye Chen's question, thought for a moment, and then said: "Apart from the City Master and the Ouyang family, there are 43 other forces. The Xie family is the strongest, while more than ten families are about the same as us. As for the others, they are all some insignificant small forces that can be ignored!"

  Qun Wei's face turned pale with fear as he listened to Qun San's words, and he said: "You mean that the City Master's Mansion and the Ouyang Family are planning to reshuffle all the powers in Blue Rain City?"

  "It should be!" Ye Chen nodded with a frown.

  At this time, Qun San suddenly shouted and hastily said: "I remembered! When I inquired about the past of Blue Rain City before, I heard that fifteen years ago, Blue Rain City had a major change. Almost all forces within the city collapsed overnight! Only some small families remained! At that time, I didn't pay attention to it, now thinking back, could it be that the Lord and the Ouyang family were also involved in the matter at that time?"

  "It's possible!" Ye Chen nodded and continued: "If that's the case, then the Xie family's move can be explained. The Xie family must have known about this big reshuffle, although they got the support of the Ouyang family, but not yet the support of the city master. In this big reshuffle, it's not necessarily safe for them either!"

  "What should we do?" Qun Wei asked Ye Chen anxiously.

  Ye Chen looked at the three of them deeply, then fell silent, without saying a word.

  After all, even if Ye Chen and the others guessed correctly, this Blue Rain City is going to have a huge shuffle! However, this has nothing to do with Ye Chen. The current situation is no longer something that Ye Chen can participate in alone!

  The three brothers of the Qun family looked at each other and hastily knelt down at Ye Chen's feet, saying: "Brother Ye, our lives are in your hands now, you must save us!"

  Ye Chen was startled by the sudden movement of the three people and hastily said: "What are you doing? Get up quickly!"

  Qun San blocked him for a moment, and Ye Chen wanted to pull his hand. He said urgently: "Brother Ye, if our guess earlier was correct, then the person who can save us, apart from Brother Ye, we really don't know who else it could be! Please, Brother Ye, for the sake of our three brothers relying on each other for survival, save us this once!"

  "Yes! Ye brothers, as long as you can help us get through this difficult time, from now on, no matter what happens, even if it's climbing a knife mountain or jumping into an oil pot, the three of us brothers will never frown again!" Qun Wei hastily echoed.

  Even Qun Yu, who was not good at speaking, bowed respectfully to Ye Chen and said: "Brother Ye, we three brothers have been orphaned since childhood, and after struggling for so many years, we finally achieved a little something. We don't want it to end like this!"

  Ye Chen looked at the three of them, his eyebrows furrowed, and looking at the three in front of him, Ye Chen thought of Mo Tian and his gang. Immediately, Ye Chen let out a deep sigh and said: "The three of you quickly get up, this matter please, I can only say that tomorrow I will go to the City Lord's mansion for a trip, ask about it, I will do my best! If not, I still hope that the three of you will leave this place of trouble as soon as possible!"

  "Alright! Only Ye brothers are willing to give it a try, whether successful or not, the three brothers of our family will remember your kindness!"

  Qun Wei nodded his head in gratitude towards Ye Chen.

  Actually, Ye Chen didn't know that if he really went to the City Master's mansion to help the Guan family's three brothers plead for mercy, it would definitely be manageable! After all, Ye Chen had crippled Lan Kuangfeng's son, but Lan Kuangfeng hadn't turned against him. How could he possibly bear a grudge over just letting the Guan family off the hook? Besides, Lan Kuangfeng had originally planned to let the Guan family off anyway. Although they seemed powerful on the surface, they were still far from being a match for him. Moreover, the three Guan brothers were all men of their word, and as long as you treated them well, they would definitely repay your kindness. Lan Kuangfeng had figured this out a long time ago, which was why he had deliberately helped them during the power struggle five years ago!

  "In that case, let's disperse for now! I'll also go back and think carefully about what to say tomorrow!" Ye Chen took a deep breath and said to the three of them.

  "Well, it's all up to Brother Ye now!"
