"Mansion Master Yue, why should I apologize to him?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Zhou Yang, you hurt my son and humiliated me in public. It's not a big deal for you to apologize," Li He scolded angrily.
"Family Master Li is right. Besides, you are a junior. What's wrong with a junior apologizing to an elder?" Yue Shenxing said seriously.
"Manor Head Yue, are you forcing me?" Zhou Yang's face turned cold. A man should know what he should and shouldn't do. The Yue Family might be his backer in the imperial city, but he would not do anything against his will.
Besides, the Yue Family's attitude was still unknown.
"What are you talking about?" Yue Shenxing was angry. As one of the most powerful people in the imperial city, it was the first time that a young man dared to talk to him like this.
"Brother … It's my fault!"
At this moment, a woman walked in from outside the door. Zhou Yang turned around and saw that it was his aunt.
"Aunt!" Zhou Yang was surprised and happy. He was happy that his aunt was safe and sound, but he was surprised that she was Yue Shenxing's sister.
"Su, what are you doing here?" Yue Shenxing frowned.
Yue Su walked to Zhou Yang and said with a smile, "Yang, you have been wronged these days."
"How is my mother?" Zhou Yang was most worried about his mother Su Ruohan.
"Don't worry. She is fine."
Then Yue Su looked at Yue Shenxing and said, "It's our idea to let Yang go to the Li Family Master. I'm the one who should apologize."
"Second Lady Yue, you must be joking. I don't deserve your apology," Li He said with a fake smile.
"Family Master Li, Yang is stubborn. He can't apologize. Please forgive him." Yue Su cupped her hands and said.
"Humph!"
Li He was still unhappy. Then he looked at Yue Shenxing and said, "Mansion Master, since Lady Yue said so, I'll let it go. But I like Lady Ding Mei. I think …"
"If you can persuade Ding Mei, I won't object," Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to invite him. I don't believe that the strength of my Li Family is inferior to you, Zhou Yang." Li He said angrily.
"Alright, Family Head Li, you can go back now." Mansion Lord Yue waved his hand impatiently.
Li He immediately cupped his hands and snorted coldly as he left the Yue Residence.
"Zhou Yang, since you are already here, just stay in the Yue Clan for the time being. Don't go out and cause trouble." Manor Lord Yue shook his head and said.
"Cause trouble?" Zhou Yang smiled and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to trouble Manor Lord Yue. The Zhou Yang Inn is still affordable."
"Little Yang, that's not what I mean. I just hope that you won't attack your own people. No matter how bad the Li Family is, they are still on the same side as us," Yue Su said with a smile.
Zhou Yang didn't say anything. Yue Su was naturally thinking for his sake, but he didn't dare to agree with what she said.
When he had first arrived at the Li Clan, he could say that he had tolerated them over and over again, but the other party was insatiable.
He treated the Li Clan as his own people, but the Li Clan treated him as a servant. How could they be considered as on the same side?
In the end, it was all about benefits. If there were more benefits, people like Li He would probably betray the Yue Clan immediately.
"Since you don't want to be left out, then I have three requests for you. If you can fulfill them, I will let you see your father," Yue Shenxing said suddenly.
"Mansion Lord Yue, please tell me." Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"First, the ranking. You are now in the top 60. In the Yue Clan Martial Arts Dojo, disciples below the top 50 are not qualified to make requests to me directly."
"Second?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Second, the Wen Clan. I heard that you have a good relationship with Wen Xiyu. The Wen Clan has a certain status in the Imperial City and plays an important role in the Confucian School. If you can marry him, I can make an exception and let you see your father."
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "It's okay if you just want to get along well with him. As for marrying him, I can't do that."
"That's your business. Third, I heard that you are good at alchemy and have a senior alchemist disciple, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Zhou Yang, do you know the Zheng Clan, an aristocratic family of alchemists in the Imperial City?"
"Of course. I saw them yesterday."
"My third request is that you can make friends with the Zheng Clan through alchemy. The Zheng Clan is very important to us," Yue Shenxing said in a low voice.
"Do I have to fulfill all three requests?" Zhou Yang asked doubtfully.
"No need. As long as you can fulfill one of them. Of course, if you can fulfill all of them, I will give you extra rewards. Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "No. I just hope that you can keep your word."
"Don't worry. I always keep my word."
Yue Shenxing looked at Yue Su and then stood up and left.
"Little Yang, let's go. I will take you to see your mother."
Yue Su smiled and took Zhou Yang's hand to the backyard.
In the backyard, in the garden, Su Ruohan seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When she saw Zhou Yang, she burst into tears.
"Mother, you have suffered a lot recently." Zhou Yang was nervous. Su Ruohan had obviously lost a lot of weight.
"Not at all. It's just that every time I hear the news about you, I feel cold. How can you be so reckless?" Su Ruohan said with blame.
"I have to do something. Otherwise, I will be slaughtered by others," Zhou Yang said helplessly.
Su Ruohan nodded and looked at Yue Su, "Big Sister, did the Chief agree to let Little Yang stay?"
"He agreed. But Little Yang, the situation in the Imperial City is very complicated. Although the Yue Clan is deeply rooted in the Imperial City, it is also very dangerous in such a big whirlpool. So, please don't mind what my brother said," Yue Su said apologetically.
"Auntie, I understand. Now I just want to know my father's situation," Zhou Yang said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Little Yang. Although I have only seen my husband once, I am sure that he is safe. It's just that both sides are at a critical juncture. Your father has become one of their bargaining chips. We are very passive."
Zhou Yang nodded. He actually understood that the Yue Clan had the power to save his father. They just didn't want to do a losing business.
In the end, Zhou Zhan Tian was just a chess piece. The Zhao Clan could use him to threaten the Yue Clan, and the Yue Clan could also abandon him at any time.
But Zhou Yang couldn't. His only goal was to save his father. So, it was unwise for him to join the Yue Clan and fight against the Zhao Clan.
He couldn't help but think of the Sixth Princess.
Maybe he really needed a third party to intervene. Only then would he be qualified to compete with them.
