"Damn you, Gong Ya! Damn you! "
Chu Jingye's eyes were bloodshot as he growled like a trapped beast.
He didn't expect that the plan he had painstakingly prepared for so long would fail in the hands of a woman.
However, when he thought about how the idiots in the clan had fallen out with Gong Ya so easily because of his instigation, the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
A vicious look flashed across his eyes.
As long as he got rid of Gong Ya, the only variable, his plan could still proceed as planned.
Moreover, his real killer move wasn't the flying killer bees.
Those idiots probably wouldn't have thought that they had escaped a calamity, but they had fallen into a more sinister hell!
"Pass down my order. Three days from now, I want Yuehu City to be barren for ten years!"
"Yes."
.....
The Jackdaw Guards, who had followed the beekeeper in to investigate the situation, quickly brought back the news.
That was indeed the stronghold of Chu Jingye and his companions.
However, the person in charge was Chu Jingye.
Could it be that he had planned all of this himself?
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao found it hard to believe.
It wasn't that they had underestimated their opponent, but if Chu Jingye was really capable, he should have been more confident in dealing with them.
He shouldn't have provoked the other aboriginals to attack them like he was doing now.
Of course, this could also be because Chu Jingye was too cautious.
In any case, they couldn't let their guard down.
On the night that Lin Mengya sent Chu Lingyun's bill to the clan, Yue Zhengzitan, who had volunteered to be the messenger, secretly invited his elder brother over.
However, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
"Gong Family Head …" Yue Zhengzixiu had just started.
On the other side, Lin Mengya raised her hand and signaled for him to pause.
Then, with a wave of her hand, she got the half-dead Chu Lingyun to be carried over.
Yue Zhengzixiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion, not knowing what she meant.
Lin Mengya said, "Then I'll be straightforward. I can hand this person over to you now, but no matter what I do with the Chu family, I hope you won't hinder me."
Yue Zhengzixiu instantly understood what she meant, but he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
So, the other party really treated him as an outsider?
"Master Gong, I think that no matter what, we should at least be friends."
"Friends?" Lin Mengya shook her head. "I never make friends with my business partners. Patriarch Yue Zheng, the friendship between us is merely an exchange of benefits, so it's best to draw a clear line between us. "
Yue Zhengzi's heart felt extremely sour for some reason.
But he should have expected this outcome, right?
Friends?
As long as he did not let go of the burden on his shoulders, he could not have a life of his own.
Could it be that he had not come to this realization?
Yue Zhengzi sighed regretfully in his heart, "Alright, let's do as Master Gong says. However, I advise you to think twice before you act. At least for now, I can guarantee that you will be able to escape unscathed. "
Lin Mengya looked at him calmly, revealing the truth that everyone in the Ancient Clan had deliberately ignored.
"We retreated this time, but what about next time?"
"Patriarch Yue Zheng, you should be clearer than anyone else about the attitude of the Ancient Clan towards me, right?"
"I would like to ask a question. My Gong family has had no relations with the Gu clan since who knows how many years ago. However, in your eyes, my Gong family is still being trampled on and humiliated by you. What sort of reasoning is this?"
"If I were to bring my teacher away this time around, I would definitely owe you guys once again in the eyes of the Ancient Clan."
"According to the way you Ancient Clan people do things, I'm afraid that next time, you will directly seize my family's property and chase my entire family out to fend for themselves. You will still be saying that my Gong family owes you, won't you? "
Lin Mengya's words could be said to have vividly displayed the true face of some of the Ancient Clan people.
Yue Zhengzixiu took a deep breath and tried to explain to her, "What happened previously was indeed our fault, but …"
"Patriarch Yue Zheng, I'm not saying all this to make you apologize to me. To be honest, I did come here this time because I have something to ask of you, so I humbled myself in the beginning. I came to the Ancient Clan with a heart full of sincerity. "
"But here, I have only been humiliated, ostracized, and schemed against."
"I have also witnessed the arrogance and conceit of some people. I just want to tell you that in the years that the Ancient Clan has closed their eyes and ears and refused to communicate with the outside world, the vast world outside has already undergone earth-shaking changes."
"My Gong family is no longer the Gong family of the past, and your Ancient Clan is also no longer the Ancient Clan of the past."
"Don't always cling to the glory of the past. That way, it will be easy for you to be eliminated. That's all I have to say. You don't have to say anything else. In any case, I do not wish to see the day when our two sides meet on the battlefield. When that time comes, the Gong family will not be the only one who will be irredeemable. "
The more Yue Zheng listened, the colder his heart became.
It had to be said that Gong Ya was indeed a magnanimous person.
At the very least, she would put her thoughts out in the open. She would not be like others, who had a heart full of twists and turns and had to constantly be on guard against the other party's conspiracy.
But that was also because she had the ability to do so.
A truly strong person would disdain to play tricks on the weak. This was because they were already strong enough and did not need to waste any effort.
Only when the weak fought the strong would they use their wits instead of brute force.
After a comprehensive assessment of the current strength of the Ancient Clan and comparing it with the strength she could mobilize, she was very clear that if she really wanted to fight, the Ancient Clan would not be able to put up a fight.
All their strength had been almost depleted in the past few years of internal strife.
However, she had always been a peace-loving person, so she chose to negotiate with them.
But reality proved that some people just could not talk nicely. They would only listen to her after she beat them up.
To put it simply, they were despicable!
Yue Zhengzixiu left in a daze.
Behind him, Yue Zhengzitan's expression changed a few times.
Recently, he had been constantly reflecting on the mistakes he had made in dealing with Gong Ya.
Only then did he come to a sudden realization. If he hadn't told such a huge lie, if he had reported the situation before Gong Ya met his elder brother, if he had told his elder brother the truth when he found out that Aunt Qing's daughter might be Gong Ya, he wouldn't have told him the truth.
Would things be different now?
He could not help but make a detailed deduction in his mind. In the end, he came to a conclusion that made him even more regretful.
The answer was yes.
If his elder brother had known that Gong Ya was not an ordinary woman, if he had known that she was Aunt Qing's daughter before all these things happened, his elder brother would have treated her with more sincerity.
Not like now, where they both missed the chance to be friends with her.
"Elder brother, I …"
Yue Zhengzitan suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes flickered as he called out to Yue Zhengzixiu.
"Hmm? What's wrong? " Although Yue Zhengzixiu was extremely vexed, he still maintained his patience in front of his only younger brother.
"Actually, Aunt Qing's daughter is …"
"Are you talking about Xiao Ya? I've already decided to send her away once the matters here are settled. "
His elder brother's words were stuck in his throat.
Almost instinctively, Yue Zhengzitan asked doubtfully, "But haven't you been waiting for her? Otherwise, why haven't you taken a wife? "
"I haven't been waiting for her." Yue Zhengzixiu looked at him with a gentle gaze. "Previously, it was because of the clan's teachings. Actually, I didn't want to be a burden to other women."
He was destined to give up everything for the aboriginals.
Therefore, although he had accepted the marriage alliance, it was actually to stabilize the aboriginals' current situation.
To him, love was an extravagant wish that he could never obtain in his lifetime.
He walked in front of Yue Zhengzitan and patted his head, just like he had done when he was young.
"Moreover, Aunt Qing's only wish is for her daughter to live a carefree and unrestrained life. I asked you to find her to repay Aunt Qing's kindness, not to make her my child bride."
His wife was destined to bear the heavy fate of the aboriginals together with him.
If it was a few years ago, he might have had such thoughts, but now, he had decided that he was best suited to spend the rest of his life alone. Otherwise, marrying someone else's daughter would be equivalent to harming her.
Unless he could find a girl like Gong Ya, who was strong and had a similar personality.
However, there was only one Gong Ya in this world, right?
"Uh …"
Yue Zhengzitan was dumbfounded by his elder brother's pat.
"But brother, there's something I've been hiding from you …"
Yue Zhengzixiu waved his hand and stopped him from saying the rest of his words.
"You've grown up, so naturally, you don't have to tell me everything like when you were young. Alright, it's getting late. Let's bring Chu Lingyun back first. "
At this moment, Chu Lingyun, who had just woken up from her coma, let out a few soft moans.
Almost instinctively, Yue Zhengzitan chopped at her with his hand, sending her back into the darkness.
Yue Zhengzixiu looked at his younger brother, who was faster than his brain, and his expression was somewhat speechless.
"Why did you knock her out?"
If Gong Ya could take the initiative to send her out, then Chu Lingyun must have some inside information about the Chu family.
Yue Zhengzitan was speechless.
He had been too careless!
"I was just too quick. It's fine, she'll wake up after we go back and pour a bucket of cold water on her."
Yue Zhengzitan's simple and crude suggestion made Yue Zhengzixiu once again sink into the worry that his younger brother was about to become stupid.
He was already a grown man, what should he do in the future?
"Let's go."
After saying this, Yue Zhengzixiu left with his men.
Yue Zhengzitan, who was a few steps behind him, turned his head and looked at the tightly shut door behind him.
"I'm sorry for what happened in the past, so I'll make it up to you."
He clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with determination.
