Hearing Master Feng's words, Master An could hardly control his expressions. He naturally had heard of the latest rumors in the capital, and he agreed with him too.

 “Master Feng, that good-f-or-nothing has been too pampered by me. Please don't mock us. I've already punished him, and he has no chance at becoming the master of the An family now.” Master An had said those words in order to a.s.sure the other households who were present.

“We're all here today to discuss our strategies to progress together. We've thrived in the capital for so many years, and we definitely cannot end up like the Lu, Yuan, and Jiang Families.”

“Moreover, Majesty Huang is investigating the firearms smuggling case now. All of us know if our families had been involved. This time, let us share our thoughts and not delay any further. Did you think that the Jiang family was powerful? They were also reduced to nothing in a matter of days.”

Hearing those words, the looks on some of their faces turned bad.

“Is Yun Bixue really that powerful? She's just the eldest daughter of the fallen Yun family.”

Master Feng shook his head and answered, “Master Zeng, you're wrong. Although Yun Bixue is just the eldest daughter of her family, her husband is still Young Master Xie, Xie Limo. I think everyone is familiar with him, right?”

Master Feng observed everyone's expressions and realized that most of them had forgotten about the Xie family's existence. He explained, “The Northern Xie and Southern w.a.n.g. Do you still remember this?”

“The Northern Xie and Southern w.a.n.g? Rings a bell.”

“In the past, the w.a.n.g and Xie families used to be tremendous households. They had histories of a thousand years and they split the land to govern the areas separately. The Xie family took over the north, and the w.a.n.g family led the south. The two families controlled the economy of the entire Country A.”

“That happened so many years ago and times have changed. Moreover, we seldom hear about the Xie family anymore these days, so what's there to be afraid of? You're just overreacting. I think that my Wei family is also a historical household. Shouldn't everyone be afraid of us too?”

Master An sighed. “Is the Xie family truly that strong or are the rumors just exaggerating things? If it were true, would he still need to stay outside of the capital?”

Master Feng listened and hesitated. “I think that it's better to play safe and trust the rumors. The news about him are all over now.”

“If she was truly involved, can't we just approach them to tell them our stand?”

Master An shook his head. “Do you really think it's that simple? Old Master Jiang pleaded with them personally but still got thrown out in the end.”

“We'll kill them then. Our men of sacrifice can join forces. Can't we even kill a woman if we do so? If Xie Limo is that strong too, we'll also finish him.”

 Master Feng was stunned. “No way. Before this meeting, I asked my subordinates to gather Yun Bixue's information in Ning An City. This is all that I've managed to gather. You may all take a look. In the past, five families had tried to form an alliance to kill her, and even people from the capital had taken part. In the end, she's still alive. Also, those who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate her all lost miserably.”

 Some of them browsed through the information, and their faces instantly turned dark and restless.

Master An slammed the table suddenly and said, “That good-for-nothing! Why did he have to offend that woman?” Master An now saw what his son had done to Yun Bixue and her family.

He now understood that regardless of what he did, Yun Bixue had long regarded the An family as her enemy.
