Family meeting

The capital city. ♟✎ 👻♪

At the entrance of a manor, a golden horse drawn by several large horses suddenly stopped.

Then, a man and a woman got out of the car.

The two were not men; they were Qian Ye and Yao Ye.

Qian Ye stepped down from the carriage and glanced at the entrance. He saw the large characters on the gatehouse that read "Mittel Manor".

I glanced inside again. The estate was enormous, and it was indeed the Mittel Clan, one of the three great families of the capital, and the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire.

"The Mittel Clan, what brings Princess Mittel here today?" Qian Ye asked. She shouldn't be hiding, afraid to come; why is she taking the initiative to visit? This isn't like the original story.

Hmm, this kind of thing probably happened because of my presence.

The butterfly effect—those who know, know.

Yao Ye smiled slyly after hearing his words: "It's different now. After all, we didn't have any confidence before, we didn't have any Dou Zong experts. But it's different now. Grand Preceptor, you are Dou Zong expert, and Nine-Star Dou Zong expert at that. So I think with you here, we can suppress the Mist Yun Sect and prevent them from acting recklessly. That's why we came to the Mittel Clan to discuss a strategy to repel the enemy."

Qian Ye: "..."

Was I being used by Yao Ye?

This was intolerable. Although Qian Ye wasn't angry, he still planned to teach her a lesson and show her what he was capable of.

"What do you mean?" Qian Ye looked at her, took a step forward, and moved closer to her.

Seeing the sudden change in Qian Ye's expression, Yao Ye was startled and quickly backed away. Was he angry?

Qian Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders, pinning her to the spot and rendering her immobile. "Your Highness, you've got a clever plan, but did you even ask for my permission before making this decision? Don't you think it's a serious violation of my human rights?"

"I... I thought you would agree, after all, you are already the Grand Preceptor of the Jia Ma Empire, so I took it upon myself to make this decision. If you are not happy, let's go back first, sit down and talk again, okay?" Yao Ye quickly apologized when he saw that he was really angry.

Qian Ye just looked at him and said, "You think you can just stop talking like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Then... then what do you want?" Yao Ye was truly afraid. A Nine-Star Dou Zong, let alone someone as weak as a Dou Wang, he probably couldn't handle him. Even if all the powerful people in the entire Jia Ma Empire were combined, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"I don't want anything, but you're using me without my permission, which violates my rules. There's only one way out for you, and that's death," Qian Ye said, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"This..." Yao Ye immediately turned pale with fright, her whole body trembling. "Grand Preceptor... please spare me, I'll do anything for you, just don't kill me?"

Although she was not afraid of death, she feared that if she died, the royal family would be in danger and fall. Therefore, in order for the royal family to continue to stand tall, she could neither die nor offend him!

Otherwise, she would rather die than beg him, which is against her character. But for the sake of the royal family, she has this responsibility and must sacrifice herself to ensure the success of the Jia Ma Empire. 😾♗ 🍟♟

I think it was worth it.

"Really?" Qian Ye looked at her.

Yao Ye closed her eyes, her red lips slightly parted. "If my sacrifice can benefit the Jia Ma Empire, I feel it's worth it."

Qian Ye: "..."

He kissed her red lips.

Yao Ye didn't struggle at all, and cooperated...

The two kissed for a while, Yao Ye Qian Ye released her. Yaoye blushed and turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye. It was her first kiss, and it had been taken away by the handsome man in front of her. How could she not be ashamed?

Qian Ye glanced at her, finding it amusing. "Fine, I won't pursue this matter further. But if you ever need my help in the future, you'd better discuss it with me first. Otherwise, it won't be that simple; it could cost you your life, understand?"

Yao Ye nodded, not daring to utter a sound.

"How about this, Your Highness, I can help you with this, but you have to listen to me. Also, my strength as Nine-Star Dou Zong must not be revealed. I will take charge of everything, is that alright?" Qian Ye asked.

Somewhat serious.

Yao Ye nodded after hearing this.

She didn't know why, but she had no power to resist Qian Ye's domineering attitude.

Yao Ye wondered if she was still the formidable princess who was no less capable than any man, but rather a well-behaved little sister.

But then I realized that wasn't the case. I wasn't like that in front of other people; I was only like that with him.

So, has she already fallen for him?

Inside the Mittel Clan manor, a large number of people had gathered in the hall of a magnificent building.

Directly above her sat a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with a captivating and alluring figure.

On the two rows of chairs to the left and right below, dozens of men, women, and children were sitting, including a man in a wheelchair who was disabled.

"The Mist Yun Sect is about to make its move. What should we do now?" An elder from the Mittel Clan, sitting below, asked the alluring woman sitting directly above.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned rather grim.

"What can we do? Unless we hand over all the Xiao Clan, it will be difficult to quell the Mist Yun Sect's hatred," another elder said.

The alluring woman listened to everyone's words, then simply touched her head with her hand, leaning against the sleeve of her chair without saying a word, but it was clear that she was also in a difficult position.

Mittel Tengshan shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the disabled man in the wheelchair. He opened his mouth, then looked at the alluring woman. "Clan leader, how about we unite with the royal family, and have the Nalan and Mu Clan rise up together to fight against the Mist Yun Sect?"

The alluring woman shook her head. "That's impossible. Think about it, and you'll understand. This matter has been public knowledge for a long time, and it's been widely discussed everywhere, yet the royal family, the Mu Clan, Nalan Clan haven't offered a single word of concern. It's clear they're avoiding us like the plague, so why would they come to our aid!"

"Sigh!" Mittel Tengshan sighed as well, "It's just like that saying, 'When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.' When we were doing well, they would come knocking on our door to flatter us, add to our glory, and talk about feelings without us even having to ask. But now that we're in trouble, it's really quiet at the door. Not even a dog has passed by!"

"Who says it isn't true!" Everyone understood and sighed.

Then, the hall fell silent again. No one spoke, and even their breathing became soft. For a moment, the hall became oppressive.

Ta-da-da~

Just then, a series of footsteps broke the silence.

Everyone looked over, but it was just a doorman at the manor gate. They didn't pay much attention to him, but seeing that he was in a hurry, they assumed that someone was requesting an audience.

"What is it?" the alluring woman asked dismissively, her tone haughty.

Given her status, she naturally wouldn't give this doorman a second glance.

"Chief, it is Her Highness the Princess who has arrived. She is currently outside the gate. Would you like to see her?" the doorman replied.
