Ye Xunhuan's dismissive tone when talking about the Dragon Head was sothing Liu Qingcheng had long grown accustod to, showing no sign of surprise.
"Xunhuan, I know you've held a grudge against the Dragon Head because of what happened back then, but many things are beyond his control!" Liu Qingcheng said, staring at Ye Xunhuan with a face full of helplessness. "You really have a deep prejudice against him, and yet the Dragon Head has been genuinely good to you!"
Liu Qingcheng, being the dragon lady of the Hidden Dragon, knew very well about everything regarding Ye Xunhuan as he once was a part of Hidden Dragon.
But she also understood how deep Ye Xunhuan's grievances towards the Dragon Head were.
"This ti, the Dragon Head asked to co here, not to ridicule you, and you should know that if he wanted here to mock you, I wouldn't have bothered to co."
At this mont, Aunt Wang ca over with tea.
"Thank you!" Liu Qingcheng said politely to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang just smiled without saying much, turned around, and left, leaving the space once again to Ye Xunhuan and Liu Qingcheng.
Ye Xunhuan took a cigarette from his body, lit it for himself, and began to smoke gently.
Seeing this, Liu Qingcheng furrowed her delicate brows slightly, "You're injured. If you can, try not to smoke; it affects your recovery."
Then, Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a thick puff of smoke from his mouth and said, "What did he send you here for?"
"The Dragon Head asked to tell you to endure!"
"Endure?" Ye Xunhuan laughed, a self-mocking laugh, "Tell how to endure?"
"Xunhuan, the Dragon Head isn't wrong. Enduring the mont brings peace, retreating opens up the wide sky," Liu Qingcheng advised emotionally and logically, "Besides, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, and you're still so young, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future!"
"Would he really be idle enough to have you co here just to tell this?"
From what Ye Xunhuan knew about the Dragon Head, he was definitely not such a boring person and would not send Liu Qingcheng on such a trivial errand.
Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Liu Qingcheng sighed slightly, showing helplessness.
With her understanding of Ye Xunhuan, it was clear from his words that he didn't take her previous advice to heart.
"No, the Dragon Head asked to tell you, don't think that with no one left in the Yan family, you can let others humiliate them at will!" Liu Qingcheng said seriously, "The Yan family is a piece on the board for the Protectors of the Nation, a very important piece, and they won't easily collapse!"
"The current setbacks for the Yan family are superficial. With the support of the Protectors of the Nation, the Yan family could rise again at any ti," Liu Qingcheng said softly, "Originally, the Yan family was to be abandoned, and the Protectors found a suitable successor within them!"
"Who?"
"The Xiao family!" Liu Qingcheng stated heavily. "Initially, the Protectors wanted the Xiao family to replace them, but Yan Qingjun recovered and his strength increased, prompting the Protectors to abandon support for the Xiao family and allow Yan Qingjun to take control!"
Yan Qingjun!
Upon hearing these three words, Ye Xunhuan's expression changed slightly. Back in the day in Southeast City, Ye Xunhuan had severely injured Yan Qingjun, leaving him almost dood to be a cripple for life. But now, according to Liu Qingcheng, not only had Yan Qingjun recovered, but he had also beco stronger than before.
What had he experienced?
"Has Yan Qingjun appeared in the capital?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a frown.
Liu Qingcheng gently shook her head and said, "He hasn't appeared in the capital for now, but the Dragon Head said he might show up there anyti to take control of the Yan family!"
"When Yan Qingjun takes over the Yan family, the first person he will want to deal with will surely be you!"
It's imperative to know that Ye Xunhuan had crippled Yan Qingjun, forced Yan Zhengrong and Yan Haohan to their deaths, and even killed his mother, Wen Sitong!
How could Yan Qingjun ever let go of such a blood feud with Ye Xunhuan?
Ye Xunhuan remained silent. He knew that Liu Qingcheng was stating the facts—if Yan Qingjun had indeed recovered and returned, the first person he would want to confront in the capital would undeniably be Ye Xunhuan!
"Moreover, according to the Dragon Head, Yan Qingjun today is not who he used to be and has found a ntor!" Liu Qingcheng spoke again, "He now has powerful support, and it's imnse!"
Ye Xunhuan took a slow drag on his cigarette and exhaled the smoke from his mouth.
He had never imagined that sparing Yan Qingjun's life back then would lead to such a significant risk today. Yet, Ye Xunhuan admired the ans of the Protectors of the Nation.
One must know that he had once rendered Yan Qingjun a cripple, and healing him with current dicine should have been impossible, yet Yan Qingjun had recovered.
The thods of the Protectors of the Nation were indeed extraordinary.
This ti, Ye Xunhuan had gained a whole new understanding of the Protectors of the Nation.
The next mont, Ye Xunhuan exhaled a deep breath and then slowly spoke, "I understand!"
"Xunhuan, you mustn't be careless!" Liu Qingcheng cautioned seriously, "Yan Qingjun was a significant figure in the capital in the past, and after undergoing all this, he will have surely matured into soone extrely difficult to handle!"
"Don't worry, now that I know, I won't give Yan Qingjun that chance!" Ye Xunhuan said with a calm face.
The next mont, just as Liu Qingcheng was about to say sothing further, Ye Xunhuan interrupted with a change of subject, "By the way, I heard you say earlier that the Protectors initially chose the Xiao family, but have now abandoned them because of Yan Qingjun. So the Xiao family now..."
"The Xiao family couldn't possibly know about this," Liu Qingcheng said softly. "They're still complacent, but when the mont cos for the 'aunt' to pull back, the Xiao family's power will be halved!"
"When Yan Qingjun shows up, he will definitely take action against the Xiao family, forcing them to spit out everything they've swallowed and perhaps more!"
Liu Qingcheng knew enough about Yan Qingjun to understand that he would make those who had kicked the Yan family while they were down pay a heavy price.
Ye Xunhuan pondered for a mont before speaking again, "It seems the Xiao family is destined to beco cannon fodder?"
Liu Qingcheng nodded lightly, "If nothing goes wrong, the Xiao family is definitely cannon fodder!"
Though the Yan family might be in decline, they were backed by the Protectors of the Nation, while the Xiao family had no such support. Despite their current advantage, when Yan Qingjun returns, those advantages will likely vanish.
Ye Xunhuan's eyes shifted slightly, and then he spoke again, "What if I help the Xiao family?"
Upon suddenly hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Liu Qingcheng was taken aback, looking at Ye Xunhuan in disbelief, "You... you want to help the Xiao family?"
