Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 599 - 276. Look at the situation of Fengbo Hall_3

Personal development is secondary, the legacy of the Famed Sword Sect must not be lost!

This was Yue Wenzhu's bottom line. However, as he came to understand more and more about the strength of the Hou Clan, his heart grew increasingly despairing. That was why, despite being quite interested in Ke Jiangyun's proposal earlier that day at Fengbo Hall, he weighed the pros and cons and ultimately rejected it, an action later justified by the appearance of Bai Dongyu and Liu Jianghe.

Their arrival was no coincidence, the Hou Clan must have known there was a mole in Fengbo Hall and were already taking countermeasures. The fact that Hou Lao Si was to arrive in Yangping tomorrow was ironclad proof.

Relying solely on Fengbo Hall, Yue Wenzhu dared not risk the safety of the Famed Sword Sect. Given the Hou Clan's usual way of conducting affairs, once they confirmed any hint of betrayal, their retaliation would be like a ferocious storm. But if the Shen Clan were also involved, might there be hope?

"Brother Gao need not provoke me. I, Master Yue, am now also a relative by marriage to the Hou Clan, the father-in-law of Fifth Young Master Hou. All I want is to preserve the foundation of the Famed Sword Sect. As long as the Hou Clan doesn't make things difficult for us, we will not harbor any ulterior motives," Yue Wenzhu said steadily. After speaking, he turned to Gao Haicheng and, with a slight smile, added, "I should say, my Famed Sword Sect is at least related by marriage to the Hou Clan, while your Gao Family isn't. By this logic, it's more likely for the Gao Family to be annexed by the Hou Family, isn't it, Brother Gao? Don't you have any plans to deal with this scenario?"

With this deflection, Gao Haicheng's complexion immediately turned grim. After a moment of contemplation and with a cautious expression, he said, "Master Yue worries too much. My Gao Family's strength is far inferior to both the Famed Sword Sect and Fengbo Hall. How would we dare harbor secondary intentions? Hall Master Ke is able to cling to the coattails of the Shen Clan, but my Gao Family cannot. Now that you, Master Yue, have peaceably become the father-in-law of Fifth Master Hou, the Gao Family has even less of such thoughts."

The words "hypocrisy" immediately sprang to Yue Wenzhu's mind.

"I can only hope that, with the Gao Family bowing and scraping as we do, the Hou Clan will feel a trace of pity and not covet the Gao Family's foundation," Gao Haicheng said.

Upon hearing this last remark from Gao Haicheng, Yue Wenzhu's face darkened further. The other's words seemed self-pitying but were actually meant for his own ears, hinting that the Hou Clan would covet his Famed Sword Sect. He couldn't fail to catch the implication.

After all, both of them felt reluctant to bow their heads to the Hou Clan.

But, constrained by the overwhelming power of the Hou Clan, they were both subdued, daring not to reach out to external powers for interference in Hexi like Ke Jiangyun did.

If that were the case, they would have to see what happened next with Fengbo Hall...

If Fengbo Hall, with the backing of the Shen Clan, could withstand the pressure from the Hou Clan, it would mean that the Hou Clan's position in Hexi was not yet secure. In that case, they could try to establish a connection with the Shen Clan through Fengbo Hall, ensuring that both the Famed Sword Sect and Gao Family could rest easy.

Hou Lao Si would arrive tomorrow, and then everything would become clear!

Yue Wenzhu made up his mind to stay in Yangping for another day. Suddenly, he looked up and locked eyes with Gao Haicheng. Although the two did not have an understanding, from that look, he perceived that Gao Haicheng shared his thoughts.

"Clash!"

Suddenly, the sound of a horse galloping at high speed reached them. Yue Wenzhu, just about to see off his guest, paused, then turned to look southward, and his expression immediately changed.

Clop clop...

"Clash!"

"Clash..."

"Clash!"

A succession of urgent hoofbeats sounded, shaking the ground, followed by a series of galloping noises in the night sky. On the main road of Prefectural City, at least hundreds of men in black were riding horses, sprinting from the south straight toward the right side of Shengxin Residence, the location of Fengbo Hall.

"Hou Lao Si has arrived ahead of time; this is going to be interesting!"

Gao Haicheng eyed the vanguard of the troop and immediately recognized the young man in a dark red tight-fitting outfit holding a longsword. It was Hou Yu Jie of the Hou Family.

The two looked at each other and, almost simultaneously, slipped out of the window. They followed behind the group of men in black toward Fengbo Hall's location.
