Chapter 1417 – Each House’s Movement Part 2

For evil news rides fast, while good news baits later, Chen Yutian looking for Yu Feng’s trouble and was beaten into a cripple, this news was so spread so fast as in like the news itself had wings! Now everyone knew that Chen Yutian tried to seduce Yufeng’s fiance and was given a heavy punishment!

Chen Yutian was weak from the beginning, so no people actually took pity on him; they all felt like he deserved this punishment. This was House Yu’s way of doing this- they pushed everything to others, and put the blame on others.

House Wu, on the other hand, was one of the weakest among the noble houses. They practiced physical arts, and the most outstanding one was only mid-phase of the mystic class, which he had just gotten a breakthrough recently. Their cards were weak to be presented on the stage, especially, there was a piece of news not long ago, saying that Wu Chengtian offended the Xiao brothers and all. House Xiao being the top of the noble houses now, would surely pressure House Wu this time during the meeting.

“Jingjing, what do you think?” Liu Zhenhu didn’t comment on Liu Tianyi’s and Liu Tianli’s thoughts. Instead, he looked at Liu Jinghan and asked.

“Grandpa, I think that we are in the greatest danger this time around!” Liu Jinghan pondered and voiced out his opposing opinion.

“Greatest danger?” Liu Tianli and Liu Tianyi were both stunned; they couldn’t believe what Liu Jinghan just said!

“Why would you say so? Do you mind telling us the reasons?” Liu Tianhu nodded and didn’t comment, either. His face was solemn, not reacting. Liu Zhenhu was someone who played a part in the upper society- he was a wise old man, he could detect the smallest detail, and his problem-solving skill was top-notch.

No wonder the people of House Liu were so happy when they knew that Liu Zhenhu could live another ten years, otherwise, relying on Liu Zhenyi and Liu Zhenhu would be a great disaster, House Liu would be ruined in no time! Although Liu Tianyi was steady, and his perspective was more open, his wisdom was lacking a little. Meanwhile, Liu Tianli’s view was shallow; he could maintain a business but expanding it was impossible.

The only person who could be trusted was Liu Zhenhu’s granddaughter- he placed all his hope on this granddaughter of his, Liu Jinghan, but not his grandson! Liu Tianyi’s son was too young if his grandson could be as smart as his granddaughter, Liu Zhenhu would be comforted!

“Things keep telling me that the meeting this time won’t be peaceful.” Liu Jinghan said calmly. “House Chen might seem like they are on the verge of falling, but they have two ultimate cards in their palm!”

“Oh?” Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli were both taken aback- they never expected even House Chen had two cards unrevealed, wasn’t this a little exaggerating?

“The first one, they have an engagement with the ancient sect. All of us are aware of it, it may seem like a useless card for now, but in reality, if the people from the ancient sect haven’t requested to break off the engagement- the effect is still there to be used!” Liu Jinghan said.

Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli looked like they were enlightened as in like the truth dawned upon them; they almost forgot the fact that House Chen still had this card to play. It was right if the people from the ancient sect didn’t request to call this off, the engagement was still on-going. In other words, House Chen and people from the ancient sect were still relatives by marriage! What a powerful existence the ancient sect was? Even the hidden noble house didn’t have the balls to touch them, let alone the common world noble house!

If House Yu were to eliminate House Chen from the list and was found out by the ancient sect, House Yu would fall, and the whole event would become a pandemonium!

“Second, it’s none other than Lin Yi!” Liu Jinghan continued. “This was what I thought. He is probably their last resort!”

“Lin Yi? Lin Yi and House Chen…” Liu Tianyi flinched. “Yeah, House Chen’s youngest granddaughter- Chen Yushu is staying with her soulmate- Chu Mengyao and their relationship with Lin Yi seems to be super close…”

“Lin Yi’s protection is no news to the world. If someone were to touch the people around him, they will only die or be crippled. Even Hidden House Pi and Hidden House Zhao are no match of him, let alone a House Yu!” Liu Jinghan continued. “If Lin Yi really wants to stick his head in, I assume House Chen will be safe from this meeting.”

“Lin Yi…. yeah, if Lin Yi interferes, things will be a lot easier!” Liu Tianyi nodded and agreed. “Jingjing, you are trying to say that- Lin Yi might look over House Chen?”

“It’s not just possible. if Chen Yushu opens her mouth, it’s a hundred percent!’ Liu Jinghan said. “According to my knowledge, Chen Yushu and Lin Yi are super close!”

“Then House Wu…. right, I understand now, it’s still Lin Yi!” Liu Tianyi was able to think further with the help of Liu Jinghan’s hint. “Wu Chengtian has admitted Lin Yi’s follower as his boss, so naturally, Lin Yi wouldn’t ignore them too….”

“You’re right, that’s the reason why House Liu is in the greatest danger among all. But luckily, House Kang isn’t doing any better too- they have made enemies with House Xiao. I believe House Xiao will surely reject their request if they try to get into the list. House Yu will never offend House Xiao with the support of hidden House Pi behind them, so House Kang is still not a big threat towards us just yet.” Liu Jinghan continued. “But we can’t lower our guard down, either! Who knows if House Yu will play dirty tricks on us?”

Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli nodded- both of them strongly agreed what Jinghan said, and while Liu Zhenhu finally opened his mouth to comment. “Do you guys understand now? Do your own job properly. Theoretically speaking, House Liu is out of the danger zone, but there are still many unknown possibilities. However, Jingjing did mention, even if Lin Yi sticks his head into the matter of House Chen and House Wu, he might do the same to us too! Not long ago, under Jingjing’s suggestion, our relationship with Lin Yi is getting closer and closer, we can say it’s a honeymoon period.”

“We understood!” Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli nodded…..

Meanwhile, only Grandpa Chen was still worrying about the meeting. Things weren’t looking good for him, how should he counter this? But no matter what, he had to attend the meeting; otherwise, people might think that he choose to be eliminated voluntarily? Wasn’t this what House Yu wanted to see?

Towards Chen Yutian’s suggestion, Grandpa Chen was slightly spellbound to it. Getting Chen Yushu and Lin Yi married was a big change to the situation they were at. Naturally, Lin Yi could solve the puzzles, even if House Yu wanted to move House Chen- they could do nothing against him!

However, the main problem was the ancient sect. Grandpa Chen didn’t have the courage to break off the engagement himself! If he were to act on his own initiative and betroth his granddaughter to Lin Yi- what would the ancient sect do? If they were to unleash their fury, the people who would be suffered would not be him alone but also Chen Yushu!

Now, the only concern was to leave the noble house title. House Chen was still a whole, and its wealth was nothing to be worried about. In the future, if the people from the ancient sect came to propose the marriage, House Chen would return to its glory days! So for the sake of House Chen, Grandpa Chen chose to defend instead of attack.
