Within a luxurious palace in the Kang Clan's territory.
The entire Kang Clan became very busy due to the arrival of important guests. However, this busy atmosphere was more or less mixed with grudges and helplessness because the guests were none other than the head of the Fu Clan, Fu Yang, and the young master of the Fu Clan, Fu Yu.
Other than the Fu Clan, there was also the head of the Chu Clan, Chu Hanming, and the young master of the Chu Clan, Chu Yu.
Within the palace, the head of the Kang Clan, Jiang Kuo, was also present. The young master of the Kang Clan, Jiang Yuan, and his wife, Chu Li, were also present. The three heads and young masters of the three clans were gathered together, and Chu Li was also present. Their intentions couldn't be any more obvious.
Of course, before Jiang Kuo invited Fu Yang, he had already sent someone to explain the purpose of this meeting. It was to discuss Lu An's matter. Fu Yang also felt that there was a need to explain the special nature of this marriage to these two clans, so the three clans sat together.
Because they were discussing private matters and not official matters, the people of the Kang Clan didn't sit on the high seats. The Kang Clan and the Chu Clan were in-laws, so they naturally sat on the same side. On the other side, there were only Fu Yang and Fu Yu, so there weren't enough people.
Even so, their aura wasn't any weaker than the other party's. In fact, it was even stronger.
Chu Li and Fu Yu met again.
To be more precise, Fu Yu didn't care about Chu Li's existence. Instead, it was Chu Li who had always treated Fu Yu as an enemy. Chu Li looked at Fu Yu with eyes full of hatred, and she didn't hide it at all. Even Fu Yang could see it clearly.
However, Fu Yang didn't say anything. He looked at Jiang Kuo and said, "Brother Jiang, what should we talk about? Let's talk about it now."
Jiang Kuo's body trembled when he heard this. He turned to look at Chu Hanming, and Chu Hanming nodded. Jiang Kuo took a light breath and looked at Fu Yang. "Brother Fu, we've known each other for over a thousand years, so let's not beat around the bush. The reason I invited you here today is to ask Brother Fu about his thoughts on the Promise of Ten Years. "
After Jiang Kuo spoke up, Chu Hanming naturally wouldn't let him bear the responsibility alone. He said, "That's right. Brother Fu personally made a ten-year promise with us. Within ten years, we wouldn't cause any trouble for Lu An. After ten years, the Fu Clan wouldn't interfere with Lu An's life or death. We have kept our promise, but now it seems that Brother Fu is the one who is going back on his word. "
Hearing their words, Fu Yang nodded slightly. Yesterday, the Kang Clan had sent someone to the Fu Clan to pass on the message that they wanted to have a gathering today. So last night, Fu Yang, Fu Meng, and Fu Yu had a rare gathering to discuss this matter.
Fu Yang turned to look at his daughter. Fu Yu didn't make things difficult for them as her parents. Her meaning was very simple. If the Fu Clan wanted to interfere, then they could interfere. If they didn't want to, then they couldn't interfere. Fu Yang and Fu Meng understood their daughter well. She always spoke her mind and wouldn't say anything sarcastic or try to provoke her. Fu Yu really wouldn't force the Fu Clan to do anything for the Promise of Ten Years.
However, Fu Yu also gave a condition. That was, the Fu Clan couldn't restrict her freedom during the Promise of Ten Years. Although she didn't explicitly say that she would interfere, but if she really wanted to interfere, then no one would be able to stop her.
The Promise of Ten Years was indeed set by Fu Yang. Although the Fu Clan had the power to go against the Chu and Jiang Clans, doing so would completely offend the two clans. It would be very difficult to mend the relationship between the two clans. Furthermore, the Fu Clan and Fu Yang would be branded as people who didn't keep their promises. The Fu Clan's reputation would also be greatly reduced.
However, as long as the Chu and Jiang Clans agreed to settle this peacefully, then it wouldn't be considered as breaking the promise. Although Fu Yang felt that Lu An wasn't worthy of his daughter, he had already become his son-in-law. Even if it was for his daughter, he had to protect him. From the moment Lu An won and became his son-in-law, Fu Yang had already acknowledged Lu An's fate and Lu An's existence.
Fu Yang turned to look at Jiang Kuo and Chu Hanming. He smiled slightly and tried to ease the tension. "I naturally remember the Promise of Ten Years, and I will also acknowledge it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have negotiated with the two of you. However, the world is unpredictable. I never thought that Lu An would really become my son-in-law. The two of you should be considerate of me as an elder. Please think about it and see if there's any way to resolve the hatred between the two clans and let this matter rest. As for the conditions, the two of you can state them. As long as it's within my capabilities, I, Fu Yang, will definitely not refuse. "
"… …"
Jiang Kuo and Chu Hanming looked at each other and hesitated. To be honest, they didn't want to fall out with the Fu Clan. As long as they could resolve the hatred between the two clans, the Kang Clan and the Fu Clan would be in-laws. Since the Chu Clan and the Kang Clan were in-laws, then the Chu Clan and the Fu Clan could be considered half-in-laws. The Kang Clan was the weakest among the Hachiko clan, and the Chu Clan was only ranked in the middle. If they could have this relationship with the Fu Clan, the future of the two clans would be much better.
It wasn't that there was no competition between the clans. Sometimes, it was even beyond imagination.
However … although they wanted to do this, they were restricted.
This time, it wasn't their idea to invite Fu Yang and Fu Yu, but it was their children's idea. In other words, it was Jiang Yuan and Chu Yu's request.
Under Chu Li's request, Jiang Yuan could only speak to Jiang Kuo. However, if only Jiang Yuan spoke, it wouldn't have been possible for everyone to gather today. More importantly, it was Chu Yu who spoke.
Chu Hanming originally thought that Chu Yu would be able to see the situation clearly and stand on the side that was more beneficial to the Chu Clan. However, he didn't expect Chu Yu to make demands that he couldn't compromise the day before yesterday and yesterday. Moreover, his attitude was becoming more and more forceful. Although Jiang Kuo and Chu Hanming were clan leaders, Jiang Yuan and Chu Yu were still their sons and the future of the two clans. If these two children didn't agree to compromise, it would be useless even if they wanted to.
The hatred wasn't on the two of them, but on the children. Rather than saying that the three of them were sitting down to talk, it was more practical to say that the four juniors present were having a discussion. They were only here to control the situation and to ensure that the agreement had real power.
Jiang Kuo didn't know how to answer Fu Yang's question, so he could only give the right to speak to the real main character of this discussion. He looked at his three children and said, "What do you think?"
Chu Li frowned and her face darkened. Although she really wanted to speak, she hadn't lost her mind. With the three clan leaders present, it wasn't a place where she could act recklessly. Jiang Yuan and Chu Yu didn't speak for a moment, but under Chu Li's forceful gaze, they could only speak.
Chu Yu took a deep breath and took the initiative to say to Fu Yang, "Senior Fu, the current situation isn't what the three of us wanted. It's just that the grudge between Lu An and us is no small matter. He should have died 19 years ago, but we missed it step by step until now. Our grudge with Lu An came first, and Fu Yu and Lu An's relationship came later. Everything has to be done first come, first served. We can't be forced to put down our grudges just because of Fu Yu, right? "
As soon as these words were said, Fu Yang's heart froze. He had already spoken to such an extent, but he didn't expect that it still wouldn't work. What surprised him even more was that he originally thought that the one who would refuse the proposal would be Chu Li or Jiang Yuan, but he really didn't expect it to be Chu Yu.
Ever since Chu Yu was taught a lesson by Fu Yu in public a few years ago, Chu Yu had obviously become much more obedient. In fact, Chu Yu's ability to do things wasn't bad, so why did he have to refuse?
Fu Yu also looked at Chu Yu, and a surprised light flashed in her eyes.
Hearing Chu Yu's words, even Jiang Yuan was very surprised. However, it was good that someone was willing to help him speak first. This way, he wouldn't be the one to bear the brunt of the pressure. He immediately said, "Chu Yu is right … Senior Fu, Lu An is my son. I should decide how to deal with him. Please don't interfere."
"…"
Fu Yang's eyes turned cold as he looked at Jiang Yuan coldly.
To be honest, among the young clan leaders of the Hachiko clan, the one he looked down on the most was Jiang Yuan. Back then, he was infamous in the Hachiko clan for killing his wife and son. Lu An was Jiang Yuan's son, and because of this, he had always been prejudiced against Lu An, thinking that Lu An wasn't a good person. It was only when Lu An defeated five people in a row that he completely changed his opinion. He really couldn't understand why a strong-willed person like Lu An would have such a weak and useless father like Jiang Yuan.
However, since the younger generation had spoken, it wasn't appropriate for Fu Yang to continue speaking. He turned to look at Fu Yu, and Fu Yu naturally understood. Her cold eyes looked at the three of them, and she said indifferently, "Then what do you want to do?"
"It's best if you hand Lu An over to us immediately!" Chu Yu said directly, "If you don't, the Fu Clan will definitely not interfere with the Promise of Ten Years!"
