Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125 The Fourth Power
When Fyeng Yunfei returned to the Fyeng family home, the Chrief immediately announced her return. She restored her identity, and a banquet was held to celebrate her return. Naturally, Ye Xiaotian and Ye Liuyun’s identities were also made public.
The Fyeng family also had selfish motives. They wanted to bind Ye Liuyun tightly with them.
Ye Liuyun understood in his heart. But he did not object just so his mother was proud of him. He only secretly reminded himself to maintain his business’s independence.
Sure enough, the Great Elder took the opportunity to offer a more profound cooperation and even suggested that the business be integrated into one, but Ye Liuyun temporarily put it aside.
He had also discussed it with his parents. They had also agreed to keep a partnership relationship between Ye Liuyun and the Fyeng family.
Once Ye Liuyun lost his independence, his right to speak would be stripped bit by bit.
It didn’t matter if they had a good relationship right now. If there were any changes in the future, Ye Liuyun would probably end up with nothing in the end.
Although Ye Liuyun didn’t care about this wealth, it was completely different between having it and having someone else give it to him.
He was used to being independent from the Fyeng family and had no intention of integrating with them for the time being.
The Chief, Fyeng Yunxiao, did not force Ye Liuyun. Instead, he asked Ye Liuyun to continue leading the Fyeng family’s disciples to cultivate and set him as a benchmark. He wanted to establish the image of him as a member of the Fyeng family to the people outside.
However, Emperor Xia never imagined that Ye Liuyun was a member of the Fyeng family. freēwebnovel.com
Ye Liuyun’s influence was neither too small nor too big. However, the side he was leaning on would significantly increase their strength.
Therefore, his decision was bound to affect the power structure of the Central Continent.
For this reason, Emperor Xia intentionally summoned Ye Liuyun into the palace to test his attitude.
Emperor Xia was dressed in plain clothes in that same study room.
"You really hid it from me so well!" The Emperor Xia sighed.
"It wasn’t convenient for me to reveal my identity then, and I didn’t mean to hide it from you!" Ye Liuyun explained.
"Right. I can understand why you are so eager to save your mother. Only, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to stay with the Fyeng family?" The Emperor Xia asked Ye Liuyun.
"Of course not. I have my things to do. I’m only staying in the Fyeng family for now and accompanying my parents! My parents haven’t decided whether to live with the Fyeng family in the future!" Ye Liuyun immediately declared his stance.
"But even if you aren’t in the Fyeng family, others will still think you are a member of the Fyeng family!" The Emperor Xia said slowly.
Ye Liuyun nodded. "The Fyeng family have been publicizing it. I can’t deny the bloodline there. However, I don’t wish to integrate into the Fyeng family. It would be better for me to maintain current partnership with them!"
Emperor Xia stared into Ye Liuyun’s eyes for a while, then laughed. "Can it be that you have greater ambitions?"
Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "My ambition is to practice austerities at the Martial Arts; I don’t care about power. It’s just that I’m now famous. If I hand over the power, I’ll be unable to protect myself!"
Ye Liuyun knew that if he handed over all his forces, even the Cern family would dare to send people to hunt him down.
The princes and forces who had a grudge against him would target him together.
Even the powerful Cern family was hit when they were in trouble, let alone him.
Emperor Xia glanced at Ye Liuyun, feeling he wasn’t lying.
However, he wouldn’t just listen to what Ye Liuyun said. Instead, he would see what he would do.
If Ye Liuyun showed any signs of integration with the Fyeng family, or if it involved the royal family’s interests, he would take action against Ye Liuyun.
Furthermore, everyone had previously underestimated Ye Liuyun. If he were to make a move, he would use his thunderous might and not give Ye Liuyun any chance to catch his breath.
So, on the surface, he was still talking and laughing, but in fact, he was already openly reminding Ye Liuyun.
"Haha, so you are aware. But I must remind you that your current position is more dangerous.
The greater you do, the more you should be careful not to touch the interests of the royal family and prevent the Fyeng family from taking over you. You must also prevent the Cern family from getting revenge!
You set up the Cern family, and they would not let it go! And the rumors are daunting. Even if I believe you, others will think that you are bound to belong to the Fyeng family!
The Cern Family made a concession this time because they think the Fyeng Family can’t surpass them. But you broke the balance so they would not watch the Fyeng family exceeding them!"
Ye Liuyun also said, "I’ve long anticipated the result of offending the Cern family. No matter what happens, it’s impossible to avoid it. In that case, I can only fight them to the end."
"Can you win against the Cern family by yourself? In the end, between the royal family and the Fyeng family, you’ll have to find someone to back you up!" The Emperor Xia said with absolute certainty.
Ye Liuyun shook his head. "Both the royal family and the Fyeng family are my business partners, not my backers! I don’t rely on anyone; I only rely on myself!"
After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, Emperor Xia looked at him silently, then asked, "Do you want to become the fourth major power of the Central Continent?"
Ye Liuyun asked in reply, "Why can’t I?"
The Emperor Xia thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Your foundations aren’t enough!"
Ye Liuyun also admitted, "Indeed, I don’t have the qualifications right now. However, even if the Cern family were to destroy me, they would have to pay the price and lose their status, right?"
Emperor Xia thought for a moment, then nodded slightly as well.
Although Ye Liuyun was not powerful enough, they would have to pay a considerable price for destroying Ye Liuyun’s forces, ultimately affecting their status.
As long as the interests of the three families were not touched, the royal family, the Fyeng family, and the Cern family would not make such a choice.
That was to say, Ye Liuyun had already seized the opportunity and rapidly rose to prominence. Now, the three families would only be able to injure him only even if they wanted to destroy him.
"The fourth major power of the Central Continent!" The Emperor Xia murmured.
His view towards Ye Liuyun had changed again.
Not long ago, he had wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate this potential danger in the future while having him as a son-in-law. However, he had no choice but to treat Ye Liuyun with caution.
Finally, he had to say, "Well, I hope you can fulfill what you said today!"
After Ye Liuyun exited the imperial palace, he still thought he had become the fourth major power in the Central Continent.
He estimated that there should be many forces about the same size as him in the Central Continent.
However, his situation was unique. He was not only a member of the Fyeng family but also the Emperor’s son-in-law. Therefore, he got the attention of the three forces, which led him to become the fourth force.
And he did have an advantage. He could cooperate with the royal family and the Fyeng family. With that, he could develop much faster than others.
At the same time, Chief Cern felt disgusted, as if he had eaten a fly.
Just as he was about to beg for peace with the Fyeng family, he suddenly discovered that Ye Liuyun was a member of the Fyeng family and that he was Fyeng Yunfei’s son.
