Yuchi went out, and two carriages came out from the Wei Mansion.
The carriage in front was the guard of the Wei Mansion, and the strongest guard had surprisingly reached the sixth level of the Mortal Realm.
Just a little short of being on par with Yuchi's ninth level Mortal Realm peak.
In fact, this was already quite an impressive realm.
From the perspective of the Mortal Realm, the first level of the Mortal Realm means that one can absolutely overpower any ordinary person not in the Mortal Realm.
No matter how skilled in martial arts an ordinary person might be, they wouldn't stand a chance.
It's like a newborn baby, no matter how good at running and jumping, would be crushed under absolute weight and pressure.
They'd be like a paper shell, shattered upon contact.
Thus, someone at the sixth level of the Mortal Realm could essentially be invincible to ordinary people.
A battle of attrition is unlikely to have much effect.
This time, Yuchi brought along five guards of the third to fifth level Mortal Realm, clearly showing he was very displeased.
The Commerce Association had just started, and they had come to threaten them already?
Truly bullying them too much?
"By the way, Miss Xun, what's with that excited expression of yours?" Yuchi asked, speechless.
There were three people inside the carriage.
One was him, his elder brother Wei Zhe, and the third was Xun Xian.
Xun Xian had shamelessly climbed into the carriage.
Without giving Yuchi a chance to ask questions, as soon as she boarded the carriage, she waved at the two brothers.
A look of urging them to get in quickly.
Get in then, Yuchi understood that Xun Xian was sent by the authorities, but why was she so happy?
"Because we're going to cut people down!" Xun Xian said excitedly.
Yuchi's mouth twitched, he almost thought he heard wrong, "No way, Miss Xun, are you planning to break the law knowingly?"
"Haha, just kidding." Xun Xian folded her arms, her exaggerated chest muscles bouncing left and right.
Yuchi and Wei Zhe stared blankly.
"I'm just reminding you, although you're the Commerce Association now, you gotta do things by the book," said Xun Xian.
She held her head high, as a representative of the authorities, she needed to play a supervisory role.
Especially since that rascal Yuchi looked like he was going to chop someone up.
So if she let Yuchi cut down the Qi Family right in front of her, wouldn't she be completely losing face?
No, that wouldn't do.
This definitely wouldn't do.
However, after hearing Yuchi's resentful explanation, her eyes shifted from confusion to anger!
Her right hand had already touched the knife at her waist, moonlight shone on her face through the window of the carriage.
Then came the rage.
"Is this Qi Bai an idiot? Really throwing a tantrum, impotent fury, taking it out on his own daughter?"
"Yuchi, don't stop me later."
"This auntie is going to chop him to death!"
The change in mindset happened in an instant.
Really capricious.
Yuchi: "..."
Wei Zhe: "..."
The two brothers wiped their sweat.
"Take it easy, we're just going over there to handle things reasonably, don't ruin my plans," Yuchi reminded.
He had a plan.
If this pretty muscle-bound Barbie rushed over and started hacking randomly, what then?
"Tch, you're even blaming me now? This auntie hates parents like that the most!"
"It's clearly not the child's fault, yet they blame the child!"
"Are they crazy?"
"Especially the Qi Family, it's clearly their mismanagement!"
"At most they're calling you, Yuchi, a bastard, but they shouldn't harm their own daughter!"
Yuchi's face was speechless, leaning inside the carriage, "Thanks for your words, I feel blessed by you."
"I'm serious," Xun Xian said unabashedly, "Do you know how my parents died?"
"How did they die?" Yuchi asked.
"I chopped them to death," Xun Xian smiled brightly, "They wanted to sell me into prostitution, but I killed them on the spot."
She seemed quite proud, "How about that, impressive, right?"
Yuchi and Wei Zhe exchanged a glance, sitting a bit closer together.
Afraid.
Yuchi: "I can understand."
Wei Zhe: "Lord Xun, your swift resolution is truly an example for us all."
"Isn't it," Xun Xian said, touching her head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "You don't need to praise me, it was what I had to do."
"..."
She seriously meant it, huh!
Wow!
Yet how did this girl with such a shadow-filled childhood grow into someone relatively calm today?
At least someone must have guided her along the way.
Presumably someone from the authorities, thus Xun Xian was willing to listen to them and stay close to Yuchi in Xufu Town.
Understood now.
Every family has their own struggles.
Back to the point.
"So, Yuchi, what do you plan to do?" Xun Xian asked curiously.
"Eliminate them completely," Yuchi replied.
"Not bad!" Xun Xian praised, "I'm starting to like you."
"Really?" Yuchi smiled, "I feel the same."
The two nodded at each other with mutual respect, one gave a bow, the other a fist salute.
Hmm!
Keep it up!
Wei Zhe, listening on the side, was drenched in sweat.
What were these two talking about, and what was this sense of mutual sympathy?
Did they just become kindred spirits at first sight?
He thought it through kindly, took a deep breath, and asked, "Third Brother, is it really that serious?!"
He thought the issue was quite complicated, and directly wiping out the Qi Family could bring trouble.
At most, strip Qi Bai clean and hang him on a tree for a few days, what does 'eliminate them completely' mean?
Isn't that too cruel?
"You're the cruel one," Yuchi said with a bitter smile.
Then his tone became serious.
"Slowly, the Qi Family used such extreme methods to force the Wei Family to accept their demands."
"We won't discuss whether the outcome or the process is more important."
"Because for the Commerce Association, both are important considerations."
"In such a situation, if the Commerce Association caves under the Qi Family's intimidation, the news will quickly reach other small families."
"Can you imagine how many tricks will be played then?"
"What if they stand before the Wei Mansion and commit seppuku, what do we do?"
"Or strip naked and run on the streets, how do we respond to various threats?"
"Even worse, what if they do something extreme, then what?"
Yuchi spoke concisely.
Indeed, even Xun Xian understood.
It was understandable.
The Wei Mansion was not just the Wei Mansion now, behind it was the Commerce Association, especially since Yuchi was the president of the United Commerce Association.
So Yuchi couldn't just think from the Wei Mansion's perspective.
The Wei Mansion was the Wei Mansion, the Commerce Association was the Commerce Association.
If one is not steadfast, how can the Commerce Association convince others?
If not for the six great families being tired of such behind-the-scenes struggles, why have the Commerce Association?
If the Commerce Association becomes indecisive, Xufu Town will never host a Commerce Association in the future, leading to various conflicts again.
In such a scenario, it wouldn't just be Qi Yuan'Er getting hurt.
Friction between families would lead to more such incidents.
Yuchi couldn't risk minor losses for greater gains.
