To be fair, Yan Qingxue was definitely a first class beauty. As a man, Su Xin naturally wouldn't act pretentiously.
What kind of heartless mission was this? Su Xin just found it troublesome.
Just like when he escaped from Chang Ning Manor, he had to make arrangements for the Eagle Gang. Now that he wanted Yan Qingxue's love, he couldn't just leave like the system said, right?
But in this life, Su Xin also didn't want to have a relationship with a chivalrous woman.
Including Xie Zhiyan, Su Xin spent most of his time admiring her and didn't have any other thoughts.
This world was crueler than his previous life. If you didn't have the strength, no matter if you were a gentle lady or a chivalrous chivalrous woman, you would be kicked away and scram as far as you could.
Before his strength matured, Su Xin didn't have the time to manage a relationship, nor did he want to.
But this mission was too much of a pain in the ass. He had to accept it even if he didn't want to.
Looking at Yan Qingxue's weak figure, Su Xin thought to himself, "Fine, this Six Doors mission will start with you.
Since I'm destined to hurt you, then I'll compensate you with a big gift. I'll help you fight for what you want. "
What did Yan Qingxue want? What she wanted was actually very simple. She just wanted to protect her last bit of dignity.
She didn't want to fight for the position of city lord, and she also knew that she didn't have the right to fight for it.
Among Yan Huangjiu's many children, the other children's mothers were legally married or disciples of Xiangnan's sects.
Yan Huangjiu was able to establish Xiangnan's biggest city, Merchant Mountain City, as a lone cultivator. He didn't just rely on his own strength, he also needed the help of other powers in Xiangnan.
In any place, marriage was the most suitable way to form an alliance. Xiangnan's major powers thought highly of Yan Huangjiu, so they let their own daughters or disciples marry him.
Therefore, all of Yan Huangjiu's wives and concubines had the backing of Xiangnan's major powers. And when his children fought for the position of city lord, they naturally had to use their mother's background.
Among the thirteen children, only Yan Qingxue's mother was an ordinary person.
Before Yan Qingxue was ten, she lived with her mother in an ordinary town. After her mother passed away, Yan Qingxue was brought to Merchant Mountain City.
Because of this, she was naturally ostracized and even bullied by the other children of the Yan Emperor.
Yan Qingxue didn't have the slightest hope that Yan Huangjiu would let his children fight for the position of the City Lord's successor.
However, she did not want to hand over the token in her hand.
With the token in hand, she was also the son of Yan Huangjiu, one of the successors of Merchant Mountain City.
However, if she were to hand over the token, she would become someone's vassal, and even her future would be in their hands.
Yan Qingxue didn't think that her brothers would treat her well, nor would they treat her pitiful subordinates kindly. They had never even put her in their eyes.
Therefore, she could only use the most stubborn method to resist to the end, even though in the eyes of others, this was simply a wrong decision.
At this moment, among the successors, the most ruthless second brother Yan Zhongheng laughed coldly, "I say, everyone, we've been fighting on the Wind Cloud Arena for so long, but no one has the upper hand. Is there any meaning to this?"
Ninth Brother Yan Chengheng took out his folding fan and waved it a few times. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "If I remember correctly, it was you who suggested to decide the victor on the Wind Cloud Arena first."
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Yan Zhongheng's eyes. This was also where he made a mistake this time.
Originally, after Yan Huangjiu announced the rules to fight for the successor, they first wanted to manage their own business routes and accumulate a portion of funds. Then, they would go to the Wind Cloud Arena to fight for other people's tokens. At the same time, they would also gather the funds they earned from managing their business routes into their own hands.
However, Yan Zhongheng planned to first obtain the token and rob other people's business routes. Then, he would merge several business routes and directly make a big deal.
His plan wasn't wrong, but when he really got to the Wind Cloud Arena, he miscalculated one thing, and that was the problem of choosing a side.
Yan Huangjiu had 13 children, and of course, everyone wanted to fight for the position of successor of Merchant Mountain City. However, the ones with the most power were Yan Zhongheng and the other three. The other children had no chance at all.
Therefore, since they couldn't win, they would take the initiative to side with them. When they became City Lords in the future, they would be able to get a share of the pie.
They were all brothers of the same father but different mothers. If they took the initiative to side with them, there would definitely be a lot of benefits in the future.
However, to side with them, of course, he had to choose a more reliable person to side with.
When Yan Huangjiu's other children didn't choose a side, the second brother Yan Zhongheng's strength should be the strongest.
He himself had the strength of the Innate Qi Hai realm, and was the first among all of Yan Huangjiu's children to break through to the Innate Qi Hai realm.
Moreover, his mother was the Saintess of the Li Fire Sect, a large sect in Xiangnan. Back then, she was attracted by Yan Huangjiu and married him as a second wife.
Among all of Yan Huangjiu's children, the power behind Yan Zhongheng was the strongest. Even the power under him was the strongest. If they fought on the Wind Cloud Arena, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage.
However, Yan Zhongheng's only weakness was that he was hot-tempered and ruthless. It was hard to believe that when the four brothers really started to fight, not a single person chose to side with him.
As for the eldest brother Yan Shuheng, although he seemed mediocre in every aspect, he was still the eldest son and had the right to be righteous. Because he was born earlier, he was more recognized by some of the older subordinates under Yan Huangjiu. Therefore, there were three people who chose to side with Yan Shuheng.
The ninth brother Yan Chengheng was a forthright and generous person. He was good at making friends with people of the pugilistic world. Some people of the pugilistic world even came to Merchant Mountain City to join him.
Among the brothers, Yan Chengheng's character was not bad. Therefore, there were three people who chose to side with him.
As for the youngest Yan Jiheng, he was Yan Huangjiu's favorite son. He had always been the most doted on. There were also two people who chose to side with him.
Although the strength of the other eight children was much weaker than Yan Zhongheng's group of four, they were still a pretty good force.
In this way, the strength of the other three increased greatly. They immediately caught up to Yan Zhongheng. Among them, the ninth brother Yan Chengheng's strength even seemed to surpass Yan Zhongheng's.
He could have easily seized the tokens of others, but he did not expect that after a few days of fighting, he would not be able to gain any advantage.
However, Yan Zhongheng obviously did not want to give up just like that. The others had already chosen a side, but there was still one person who had not.
Yan Zhongheng looked at Yan Qingxue and said with a cold smile, "Little sister, the others have already sent their subordinates to fight on the Wind Cloud Arena. You're the only one left.
How about this, I'll let my subordinate Fan Ge fight with your subordinate. How about it? Don't worry, Fan Ge isn't even in the top 30 of the Wind Cloud Arena. He won't be too heavy-handed. "
Seeing Yan Zhongheng finally point his spear at her, Yan Qingxue laughed bitterly in her heart. However, she could only say in a gentle voice, "Second brother, I don't want to fight for this token now. If you want to challenge, please find someone else."
Yan Zhongheng's subordinate Fan Ge indeed didn't even enter the top 30 of the Wind Cloud Arena. However, he was a martial artist at the peak of the postliminary realm. Moreover, his methods were ruthless and his combat strength was very strong. He was ranked 32nd on the Wind Cloud Ranking.
Those who had fought with Fan Ge, other than the winners, the losers were either injured or crippled. Yan Zhongheng clearly did not have good intentions in sending Fan Ge to fight.
Yan Zhongheng's face turned cold, "Little sister, it's fine if you don't want to send anyone to the Wind Cloud Arena. As long as you hand over the token that represents this trade route to me, I won't make things difficult for you."
Yan Qingxue shook her head, "I won't hand over the token. Second brother, don't make things difficult for me."
"Make things difficult for you?" Yan Zhongheng laughed coldly, "What do you think this is? You want to be alone? Is that even possible? Either hand over the token or go to the Wind Cloud Arena and watch as your subordinates are all killed! "
"Second brother, this is where you're wrong. Why are you scaring little sister like this?" The eldest brother Yan Shuheng said.
Yan Zhongheng snorted disdainfully. He didn't have the slightest bit of respect for this big brother of his.
In his opinion, this big brother of his was simply a piece of trash. He occupied the position of eldest son for no reason, but in the end, he was procrastinating and indecisive.
If he was born a few years earlier, he would definitely be able to firmly suppress his other brothers.
Yan Shuheng said amiably to Yan Qingxue, "Little sister, as long as you hand over the token to me, I, your big brother, will definitely not mistreat you.
Isn't your mother from Ning Zhou Prefecture? I'll directly buy all the uninhabited land in Ning Zhou Prefecture and build a large cemetery for your mother. "
Yan Qingxue had always missed her mother. This was something that everyone in Merchant Mountain City knew. Yan Shuheng used this to tempt her. He believed that Yan Qingxue would definitely agree.
