"As for the Wu Family, legend has it that their ancestors were corpse chasers, but now, the corpse chasing industry has long disappeared, and among the Five Major Families of Xiangxi, the Wu Family is probably the weakest now."
"The Long Family and the Ma Family are both branches of the White Witch Clan. Since White Witchcraft is used for saving people, blessing, and divination, these two families are highly respected in Xiangxi. However, throughout history, White Witchcraft has always been overshadowed by Black Witchcraft. Ten years ago, the clan leader of the Ma Family, along with a few other leaders, fell victim to Black Witchcraft and unfortunately passed away, which was a significant blow to the Ma Family. Since the upheaval a decade ago, the Ma Family has beco very mysterious, rarely appearing in the public eye. But their heritage still remains, and they have a good reputation in Xiangxi. Therefore, even though they are low-key nowadays, their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Young Master Ye, what I know is only this much. It’s all hearsay. After all, at my level, I simply don’t have the qualifications to be involved in the internal matters of the Five Major Families," Cheng Xue i said.
Ye Tian chuckled and said, "Then do you want to get involved in the internal matters of the Five Major Families?"
Cheng Xue i was stunned, her face filled with confusion as she looked at Ye Tian, not knowing what he ant.
"Young Master Ye, I’m just an ordinary person. So things aren’t about whether I want to get involved or not, but even if I wanted to, there’s no way for to do so," Cheng Xue i forced a smile. She thought about how most people’s social status is determined at birth, and how difficult it is to leap from one class to another. For Cheng Xue i, it was harder than climbing to heaven. Having lived over thirty years, she had co to terms with just getting by in her life.
"As long as you want to, you can."
Ye Tian smiled aningfully.
The layout of Xiangxi should undergo so changes as well. Though Ye Tian kept the Liao Family, he did not fully trust them. These families should be kept in check, especially the Liao and Cheng families.
The Cheng Family’s backing, the Holy Witch Sect, is not a good organization.
The three major witch sects in Southeast Asia are the Poison Witch Sect, the Ming Witch Sect, and the Holy Witch Sect.
The headquarters of these three major witch sects are not in Huaxia, and they are very mysterious, known to few.
However, their influence has already perated Southeast Asia and even across the Earth. The Black Witch Clan of Xiangxi is greatly associated with the Poison Witch Sect.
The Poison Witch Sect is the most notorious of the three major witch sects. It can be said that there are no good people in the Poison Witch Sect, as they use voodoo to harm others. Many of the Black Curse Masters from Southeast Asia are from the Poison Witch Sect.
On the other hand, the Ming Witch Sect is respected because their practice is saving people with witchcraft. The Ming Witch Sect believes in dispelling darkness and pursuing light, hence the na. Without them standing against the Poison Witch Sect, it’s feared that the areas in Southeast Asia would have long been plagued by voodoo and desolation.
Both the Poison Witch Sect and the Ming Witch Sect have histories spanning over a millennium. As for the Holy Witch Sect, it erged later, with quite a mysterious origin. It is said to have co from the Western World and is related to the "witch hunts" of the 16th and 17th centuries.
After several hundred years of developnt, the Holy Witch Sect has grown in strength, with its influence spreading across Southeast Asia. Even in Huaxia, they began infiltrating over a hundred years ago.
Perhaps due to the presence of the local witch sects, the Poison Witch Sect and the Ming Witch Sect, the Holy Witch Sect has always been low-key, seemingly unwilling to stir trouble. Even the Cheng Family, who have close ties with them, know very little about the Holy Witch Sect.
Although the Southeast Asian witch sects are mysterious and unpredictable, genuinely infiltrating Huaxia is still very difficult. Huaxia is full of hidden talents, and would not allow these wayward paths to run rampant. Over the years, these witch sects have only managed to establish a foothold in Xiangxi, not daring to act recklessly beyond it.
This ti, Ye Tian has his plans. He doesn’t trust these Xiangxi families and needs soone to oversee them. Among these families, so have been exploiting Xiangxi for generations. It’s ti they did sothing for the land and the people of Xiangxi. Cheng Xue i would be perfect for this oversight.
Cheng Xue i saw that Ye Tian was serious and not joking, becoming even more perplexed.
"I need soone to manage and supervise the Five Major Families of Xiangxi. Since I don’t know anyone else in Xiangxi, if you’re willing, I can let you handle this task," Ye Tian said, seeing Cheng Xue i’s skepticism.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xue i was dumbfounded, staring at Ye Tian in astonishnt, clearly shocked by his words.
"Young Master Ye, you, you’re not joking, right? The Five Major Families of Xiangxi seem peaceful on the surface, but everyone knows they are irreconcilable. You want to manage and supervise these Five Families? Isn’t that a joke?" Cheng Xue i was so shocked that she was almost incoherent.
"Do I look like I’m joking?" Ye Tian said with a serious look.
"But this matter is simply incredible. Even if I’m willing, the Five Major Families won’t be," Cheng Xue i replied. Had Cheng Guo not ntioned Ye Tian’s deeds in Shanghai, at this mont, Cheng Xue i would surely think Ye Tian was crazy.
But even so, Cheng Xue i still found it hard to believe. Despite Ye Tian’s significant background, controlling the Five Major Families of Xiangxi seed like a fantasy.
In so respects, these Five Major Families represented the entire Xiangxi. Moving one family might be possible, but moving five at once was impossible. Even the top families in Huaxia would struggle to achieve that easily.
"As long as you are willing, it doesn’t matter if they are willing or not," Ye Tian said with a light chuckle.
"Uh..." Cheng Xue i gazed at Ye Tian, her mind complex, her thoughts in a whirl as her mind raced. This was a golden opportunity for her. If what Ye Tian said was true, her fate would be rewritten from that mont onward.
Ye Tian was not in a hurry, eating as he waited for Cheng Xue i’s answer.
"I am willing." After hesitating for a long ti, Cheng Xue i finally responded with determination. She did not want to spend her life being diocre and ridiculed.
Ye Tian was not an ordinary person. Since he spoke with such certainty, he must have confidence. An opportunity to turn her life around was right in front of her; Cheng Xue i would not miss it.
At that mont, the Cheng Family was in an uproar because Cheng Kai had been admitted to the hospital, with many Cheng family mbers visiting.
Cheng Kai’s parents were in the hospital and were heartbroken to see their son’s hand pierced through, while also filled with hatred.
"Anyone who dares harm my son is unforgivable," Cheng Kai’s father said angrily.
"Son, who hurt you?" Cheng Kai’s mother asked.
Cheng Kai recounted what happened today at the East Street Night Market.
"Cheng Guo? I think I’ve heard this na sowhere before," Cheng Kai’s father frowned, lost in thought, upon hearing his son’s ntion of Cheng Guo.
