My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 64: A Plan Against the Yan Family

"Air transport is possible?"

Li Changqing looked at the man in purple with surprise.

"Yes, our Cangyuan Escort Agency has specially trained flying Spirit Beasts that can handle transportation. If we fly, three days should be enough."

The man in purple explained to Li Changqing.

"Hey, why don’t you rename your Cangyuan Escort Agency to Shunfeng Escort Agency." Li Changqing couldn’t help but quip.

"Ah?" The man in purple looked puzzled upon hearing that.

"Let’s go with air transport then." Li Changqing handed over twenty taels of silver to the man in purple, instructing him to quickly send the letter to Medical King Valley.

Jinhong Tower.

Today, Jinhong Tower was closed to the public, with some cultivated individuals guarding the entrance.

People who came to dine were all turned away.

At this time, a carriage stopped nearby.

A richly dressed fat man stepped down from the carriage, looked around, and then entered Jinhong Tower.

"Patriarch Xue, everyone has been waiting for quite some time." The shopkeeper of Jinhong Tower quickly greeted the arriving person.

"Understood." Patriarch Xue glanced upstairs and then casually walked up to the second floor, where someone was already waiting to lead him to a private room.

The door was pushed open.

Inside, the room was already packed with people, over a dozen in total.

All their eyes turned to the newcomer.

"Sorry, everyone, for being late." Patriarch Xue bowed courteously.

"Patriarch Xue, you truly are unhurried." An older man sitting at the far end said deeply, "Things are already urgent, yet you remain so composed. I, Bai Jingfei, am impressed."

"Brother Bai is joking; I was just delayed by some matters." Patriarch Xue quickly apologized.

"Alright, take your seat."

A sharp-eyed man sitting next to Bai Jingfei said.

Once he spoke, Patriarch Xue also took a seat.

Everyone seated here was a prominent figure in Changting Town.

"You all are probably aware of today’s meeting purpose," the sharp-eyed man said.

"Patriarch Zhao, we surely know that the actions of the Yan family have been excessive of late, but we are powerless to resist, relying only on the Zhao and Bai families to counter the Yan family," a patriarch respectfully said.

"Hmph, originally, our three families coexisted peacefully." Bai Jingfei coldly said, "We run our restaurant, Zhao Yiqiu’s fabric business is thriving, and the Yan family’s mining business stayed out of our way."

"Who knew the Yan family would suddenly act like this, causing us severe harm." Bai Jingfei was furious.

"Indeed, even our business is affected!" another patriarch said indignantly.

"Xue Hong, what do you think?" Zhao Yiqiu from the Zhao family asked, looking at the recently arrived Patriarch Xue.

"Me?" Patriarch Xue was stunned, not expecting the topic to turn to him.

But Xue Hong also slammed the table furiously, saying, "Exactly, the Yan family has gone too far! They must be punished!"

Everyone was looking at Xue Hong with a peculiar expression, as if they felt he was overacting.

Feeling a bit guilty under the gaze of everyone, Xue Hong said, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Xue Hong," someone sneered, "It seems your Xue family’s herb business hasn’t been much affected, and didn’t you have breakfast at the Yan family’s restaurant just this morning?"

"And look at the clothes you’re wearing, they’re from the Yan family’s fabric store, ’Qingyan’ brand."

Everyone looked and indeed noticed.

The clothes had an embroidered green swallow, a signature style unique to the Yan family.

This was the brand of clothing recently released by the Yan family.

The Zhao family initially wanted to follow suit but the brand market was already captured by the Yan family, and the Zhao family’s late entry yielded poor results.

The market wasn’t very receptive anymore.

Xue Hong chuckled, "There’s no way around it, the Yan family’s fabric business is booming, and these clothes are popular among the nobles in Changting Town. Wearing them is prestigious, so I couldn’t resist buying a few."

"Enough."

"I invited Xue Hong here," Bai Jingfei said flatly. "The Xue family has some connections with our Bai family, so it’s only natural for the Xue family to contribute to this matter."

"How to contribute?"

Everyone looked at Bai Jingfei in surprise; after all, the Xue family was just a small family in Changting Town, what could they do?

"Xue Hong, I called you here, you should understand." Bai Jingfei looked at Xue Hong and said, "The Yan family treats us like this, so we must retaliate. If I recall correctly, your brother-in-law knows someone in Zhanhe Mansion and has connections there, right?"

"Ah, yes." Xue Hong nodded.

"Zhanhe Mansion?"

Upon hearing this name, everyone couldn’t help but regard Xue Hong more highly.

Xue Hong’s brother-in-law had such a connection?

Zhanhe Mansion, though not located in Minghong State, is a formidable power in its own right. Although it’s not as grand as Dao Mountain Ancient Land, it’s still quite strong.

There are Innate Powerhouses within its ranks.

"Then contact your brother-in-law, Our families will pool our money and invite an Innate Powerhouse from Zhanhe Mansion. We want to negotiate with the Yan family!" Bai Jingfei said emphatically.

"Invite an Innate Powerhouse?"

Xue Hong was also startled.

Is it so easy to invite an Innate Powerhouse?

"Invite an Innate Powerhouse just for negotiation?" a patriarch couldn’t help but say, "Why not go all the way and wipe out the Yan family; then not only will business return to us, but even the Yan family’s mining business would be ours!"

"No."

Zhao Yiqiu said indifferently, "The Yan family has deep roots, it’s not easy to eliminate them, and the main reason is, Yan Botao’s youngest daughter is a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land."

"Though his daughter is just an ordinary disciple there, incapable of inviting an Innate Powerhouse for revenge, the future possibilities are unpredictable."

"You have to remove the problem at its root, but we can’t have an Innate Powerhouse go to Dao Mountain Ancient Land to kill his daughter, he’s not a land god."

Upon hearing Zhao Yiqiu’s words, everyone fell silent.

Indeed.

If an Innate Powerhouse can teach the Yan family a lesson, that would suffice.

"Alright, I’ll go contact my brother-in-law then." Xue Hong nodded.

"The cost to hire will be split fifty-fifty between the Bai and Zhao families, and the rest you’ll share equally, no objections?" Bai Jingfei looked at everyone, "This is a mutual interest; I hope you’ll be proactive."

With Bai Jingfei saying this, they could only agree.

But they were still greatly shaken about hiring an Innate Powerhouse.

That raises the success probability significantly.

The Yan family...

They’ve truly incurred public wrath.

Zhao Yiqiu hadn’t said much but, on the way back, as he sat with closed eyes in the carriage, he still felt things weren’t so simple.

Moving against everyone’s interests.

Means you’ll be targeted by everyone, Yan Botao, being so cunning, surely understands this, doesn’t he?

What exactly is he relying on?
