God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me-Chapter 961: A Sudden Change Reveals the Cold and Warmth of the World!

Chapter 961: Chapter 961: A Sudden Change Reveals the Cold and Warmth of the World!

"That Tang Ping is such a dog! It was clearly Old Wen who spoke first, but Tang Ping seized the chance to take credit in the end!"

"Exactly! Sigh, this time Tang Ping was the only one who didn’t have a Three Corpses Brain Gu placed on him. The Tang Family is definitely latching onto a big thigh now!"

"Damn it, if Ye Fan dies, we all die. Is this true or false? If Ye Fan loses in the fight against Elder Qi, won’t we die in vain? Patriarch Wen, how about we lead our men and directly go over to help Young Master Ye?"

The family heads left with dejected expressions, discussing strategies among themselves.

Having painstakingly cultivated to reach the Martial Saint Realm, they didn’t want to die like this!

"Go back and help Young Master Ye? Are you looking for death? When the time comes, who exactly are you helping, Young Master Ye or Elder Qi?"

Wen Cheng’s single remark instantly rendered the other family head speechless.

True!

Right now, with Ye Fan stirring things up, these family heads were caught in the middle, unable to please either side.

No matter who they chose to support—Ye Fan or Elder Qi—they seemed destined for a bad ending.

"I still place my bets on Ye Fan! Since he dares to act this way, he must have a plan! Sigh... We’d better obediently follow Young Master Ye’s arrangements and go apologize to the Nangong Family!"

Wen Cheng sighed deeply, "This time, my Wen Family’s treasury will likely be drained empty!"

Reluctantly, Wen Cheng pulled out his space ring, organizing the Wen Family’s treasures accumulated over the years—such as precious elixir pills, martial arts techniques, and cultivation methods.

Since seeking the Nangong Family’s forgiveness was necessary, they would have to bear the expenses!

Earlier, Wen Cheng hadn’t been robbed of his space ring, but now he still had to take it out.

The other family heads were even more exasperated!

At least Wen Cheng still had something to offer!

As for them, their space rings had already been taken by Ye Fan, leaving their families with no treasures to speak of.

What could they use to seek Nangong Aoyue’s pardon?

Nevertheless, no matter what, they would have to scrape together or borrow a presentable gift to pay Nangong Aoyue a visit!

...

In the Nangong Mansion!

The night was ablaze with lights!

Nangong Aoyue had already received the news, and the Ancient Martial Alliance’s intelligence organization had also learned that the Eight Great Families had united and dispatched forces. Martial Arts experts lurked around the Nangong Family, ready to strike at any moment.

Under these circumstances, how could the Nangong Family sleep?

"Miss! Our rescue requests have already been sent out, but very few families have responded. Many, although clearly informed, haven’t even bothered to reply!"

The steward Wang Zhong respectfully handed Nangong Aoyue a list, "At present, the families that have arrived include the Nang Family, Yu Family, and Mu Family... The Hua Family is on the way, along with a few other families who verbally committed to coming... but the specifics remain uncertain."

Nangong Aoyue took the list and glanced at it indifferently!

She didn’t even need to look; she could already guess it all.

Her father had been seriously ill for such a long time that Nangong Aoyue had long seen the true colors of people.

The Ancient Martial Alliance, as the most extensive organization in the Ancient Martial World, coordinated resources among tens of thousands of families and mediated countless disputes.

When her father was in good health, those families would kneel in supplication to the Nangong Family.

Even when her father first fell ill, there were many families who showed concern.

But later, when it became evident that her father’s illness couldn’t be cured, many families stopped caring... Some even acted hypocritically and worse yet, began plotting mischief—attempting to overthrow the Nangong Family’s leading role within the Ancient Martial Alliance.

This was the cold reality of the world!

A world driven solely by strength was indeed this cruel!

"I understand!" Nangong Aoyue wasn’t surprised by the majority of families choosing not to come. After all, everyone was driven by resources, and the current state of the Nangong Family painted a bleak future. Aligning themselves with her family wouldn’t yield any significant benefits, so their abandonment was understandable.

But there were a few families who didn’t come to their aid—such as the Chi Family, Zhong Family, and Lei Family... These families had previously been assaulted by small forces in the Ancient Martial World, nearly exterminated. It was her father who risked his life to save them from the enemy’s blade!

In those battles, the Nangong Family lost many core disciples.

Such a debt of gratitude was ignored during the Nangong Family’s crisis. Nangong Aoyue couldn’t help but feel a little hurt!

Yet, so be it. Now that Ye Fan had arrived in the Ancient Martial World, it wasn’t just his brothers and friends; Ye Fan alone would be enough to go against most Ancient Martial Families.

"Miss! Master Ye has gone out and there’s still no word... Do you think he ran away?" The steward, who didn’t know Ye Fan well, was a bit worried.

Having pinned so much hope on Ye Fan, what would they do if Ye Fan fled?

"Uncle Zhong, don’t worry! Nothing will happen..." Nangong Aoyue’s lips curved into a faint smile. She knew exactly what kind of man Ye Fan was.

Back when her aunt, father, and grandfather arranged for her to marry Ye Fan, Nangong Aoyue might have initially felt some resistance or distaste, but as she gradually came to understand Ye Fan, Nangong Aoyue realized she hadn’t made the wrong choice in a husband!

"Xiao Yue, I’m sorry I came late! Luckily, it seems I’m not too late yet!"

As Nangong Aoyue was speaking with Wang Zhong, a sudden playful voice rang out from the entrance of the mansion. A graceful figure briskly entered—it was none other than Hua Family’s eldest daughter, Hua Xueyan.

"Sister Xue, you’re not late! Not late at all! Your coming itself is already wonderful... true friends reveal themselves in adversity!" Nangong Aoyue let out a quiet sigh of relief upon seeing Hua Xueyan.

The Hua Family was one of the few Supreme Families that had always supported the Nangong Family!

As the greatest elixir pill makers in the Ancient Martial World, the Hua Family held immense influence, with many families owing them favors.

In certain respects, the Hua Family’s stance represented the prevailing trend in the Ancient Martial World.

If the Hua Family were to abandon the Nangong Family, then the Nangong Family would truly have no hope left.

"We’re sisters; there’s no need for such formalities! This time, I brought three hundred experts, among whom one hundred are above the Martial Venerable Realm, and over fifty are at the Martial Emperor Level... Plus, with my Hua Family’s reputation, let’s see who dares lay a hand on the Nangong Family!"

"Moreover, I’ve reached out to the Chi Family, Zhou Family, and Xia Family... Any families where my Hua Family has influence, I’ve informed all of them! Several families have already sent people who are on their way... Even if they don’t send many, their very presence signals support."

Hua Xueyan elaborated on her arrangements. Hearing how many families were responding, Nangong Aoyue felt even further reassured!

Hua Xueyan and Nangong Aoyue hugged briefly, her eyes continuously scanning the Nangong Mansion!

Where was that damned rascal who left the Capital so long ago without a single message? Just where had he gone?

Nangong Aoyue noticed Hua Xueyan’s gaze and smiled knowingly, "Sister Xue, are you looking for someone?"
