After Ye Wuhen sat down, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Father, were you dealing with the Holy Palace of Eight Directions?"
Ye Wuhen glanced at Lu Xuan and said with a smile, "You have a keen sense of smell. It seems that your mother has told you the general situation."
Lu Xuan nodded. "How is the Holy Palace of Eight Directions doing? Can the Nangong family … hold on? "
Ye Wuhen let out a sigh of relief, rubbed her temples, and said, "The Nangong family is in a difficult situation now. The Sikong family has absolute control over the Holy Palace of Eight Directions. If the Nangong family wants to do anything, it will be extremely difficult. Even with our help, we can only maintain a situation where we can barely protect ourselves. But as the Sikong family continues to reduce the living space of the Nangong family, sooner or later, we will be completely wiped out."
Lu Xuan frowned. It seemed that the Nangong family was indeed in a difficult situation. But this situation was still within his expectations. The Sikong family was scheming against the Nangong family. In addition, he controlled the other major families of the Holy Palace of Eight Directions. It would not be easy for the Nangong family to turn the tables on their own.
"Nangong Lie feels that if this goes on, the Nangong family will face complete destruction sooner or later. So he asked us to use our channels to transfer the Nangong family's strength to the Jiuhua Alliance."
Lu Xuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the Nangong family to make such a request. He couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's your decision?"
Ye Wuhen shook his head and said, "I haven't made a decision yet. There are pros and cons to this matter. What do you think?"
Ye Wuhen asked for Lu Xuan's opinion. He didn't speak without thinking. He wanted to take this opportunity to test Lu Xuan. To become the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance and the Ye family, strength alone wasn't enough. He also needed to have a sharp judgment of the situation. In many things, a family leader's decision could directly affect the prosperity, decline, and even the destruction of the entire family.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "The Nangong family is not a small force. Their entry into the Jiuhua Alliance is a very unstable factor. If we don't handle it well, it may affect the Jiuhua Alliance. It may even touch the interests of the local forces and lead to conflict. Moreover, the Nangong family's withdrawal from the Holy Palace of Eight Directions will bring stability to the Holy Palace of Eight Directions. This is a good thing for the Sikong family. "
Ye Wuhen's face lit up with approval, and he motioned for Lu Xuan to continue.
"Of course, there are many benefits. The Nangong family is not a small force. Even though they are in dire straits, their strength is not to be underestimated. If we can recruit them, the Jiuhua Alliance's strength will increase by thirty percent. Of course, we have to control them. Otherwise, it may not be a good thing."
"So, do you think we should agree to the Nangong family's request?" Ye Wuhen asked for Lu Xuan's opinion.
Lu Xuan deliberated for a moment, then slowly said, "I can't say for sure. I don't know much about the Jiuhua Alliance, and I don't know if it can control the Nangong family. If it can't, then we must not accept them. But if we can, then I will accept them. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Nangong family and the Sikong family have a grudge that will never end until one side is wiped out. Judging by the Sikong family's ambitions, it's only a matter of time before they go to war with the Jiuhua Alliance. The Nangong family will be a force to be reckoned with. As for the other reason, I think Nangong Lie isn't a bad person. I'm friends with him. "
Ye Wuhen laughed and nodded. "Xuan 'er, you are right. Fine, if you think we should agree, then I agree!"
Lu Xuan was taken aback. "Father, this is just my humble opinion. Don't take it seriously. You must think it over."
Ye Wuhen smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The Nangong family can't even deal with the Sikong family. Do you think they can stir up trouble in the Jiuhua Alliance? I'll naturally be able to suppress them. That way, most of the drawbacks you spoke of will disappear. As for stabilizing the Sacred Hall of Eight Directions, that's something that can't be helped. Nothing can be resolved by dragging it out. If I don't accept the Nangong family now, the Nangong family will be destroyed sooner or later under the encirclement of the Sikong family. I might as well gather this force for myself first. "
Ye Wuhen's words were clear and logical. Lu Xuan nodded. It seemed that he already had a plan in mind. He asked for his opinion just to test his judgment of the situation.
But at this moment, an idea came to Lu Xuan. "Father, I wonder if you can do me a favor?"
Ye Wuhen waved her hand and said, "There is no need to talk about help between father and son. Just tell me."
"Before the Nangong family comes, I'm going to the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. I want you to ask them to cooperate with me." Lu Xuan put forward his request.
But as soon as he said this, Ye Wuhen frowned. "To the Holy Temple of Eight Directions?"
In the past, Zhao Ying had told her that once Lu Xuan came out of Mount Jiuhua, it was very likely that he would want to go to the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. However, Zhao Ying had forgotten about it later. Now that Lu Xuan brought it up, it suddenly occurred to her that no one knew her son better than his mother.
Before Ye Wuhen could continue, Lu Xuan spoke first, "Father, I've made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me anymore. The reason why I want the Nangong family to cooperate with me is that I want to increase my chances of winning and be more secure. If you don't agree, I will go alone."
Ye Wuhen was speechless for a while. She didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so decisive. He didn't give her a chance to persuade him. Lu Xuan's meaning was clear. If you help me, I will have one more helper. If you don't help me, it doesn't matter. I will go alone.
However, although Lu Xuan's words were decisive, Ye Wuhen was still worried. She frowned and said, "This matter … needs to be discussed in the long run. You know, your mother and I only have one son. How can we rest assured that you will take the risk? The Holy Temple of Eight Directions is full of enemies. Once your identity is exposed, experts will come to kill you at any time. You have to know that for me, if anything happens to you, even if I have to uproot the entire Sikong family, in my heart, I will lose completely. "
Although Ye Wuhen said these words in a flat tone, the love and concern in them could not be concealed. For parents, if something happened to their children, they would lose completely. This sentence expressed the hearts of all parents in the world.
Lu Xuan looked embarrassed. He didn't know how to persuade Ye Wuhen. If he insisted on his own opinion, he could naturally sneak away. But if he did so, it would hurt Ye Wuhen and Zhao Ying's feelings.
But at this moment, an old voice came calmly, "Let him go."
Hearing this voice, Lu Xuan, Ye Wuhen, Ye Haoran, and the others all stood up at the same time.
