Chapter 903: The Xu Family's Influence in the South
Umekawa Taro's face changed slightly, puzzled, "Testing someone?"
Li Xuanyu seemed to have thought of something, looked at Yang Fei in shock, and said, "Are you sure you want to do this? If it's not, Umekawa will be in great danger."
Yang Fei felt a chill in his heart, nodded silently, and said, "Sister Xuanyu is right, let's forget it."
Umekawa Taro, more curious than ever, looked at them and said, "What's the matter? We are brothers and sisters who share life and death. If you need me, just say the word. You saved my life, how could I be afraid of death?"
Li Xuanyu shook her head and said, "Umekawa, don't get excited. This matter is not urgent and doesn't require taking risks."
Yang Fei also nodded and said, "That's right, I was too anxious before. Thinking about it now, it would be more prudent for me to handle this personally."
Li Xuanyu was startled, looking at Yang Fei, she said, "Don't act recklessly now."
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Relax, I cherish my life more than anyone else. I won't risk it easily unless forced into a corner."
The others did not know what kind of riddle the two of them were speaking, but seeing them try to hide it from Umekawa Taro, they didn't ask any further.
Yang Fei asked Umekawa Taro, "When do you plan to leave?"
Umekawa Taro said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I heard you nearly died last time, so I came to see you. Now that I've seen you, I can leave with peace of mind."
As Umekawa turned to leave, Yang Fei immediately called out to him, "Umekawa, why the rush? It's not easy to meet, let's have a few drinks before you go."
Umekawa Taro laughed and said, "This place is like Heaven, the Spiritual Energy is so abundant here. If I don't leave now, I never will. Hahaha, I will be back soon and will stay here. I hope your wife won't mind."
Yang Fei immediately replied, "I have the say in this matter, you can stay here as long as you want when you come back."
Umekawa Taro laughed and said, "But I heard from Xuanyu that you're a henpecked husband, afraid of your wife."
Then, he laughed as he left.
Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, Xu Xiao, Wang Chengcuo, and Luo Yong held back their laughter as the muscles on their faces twitched.
Yang Fei, speechless, angrily said to Li Xuanyu, "Sister Xuanyu, why are you recklessly ruining my reputation outside? Am I, Yang Fei, afraid of my wife?"
Li Xuanyu looked straight into his eyes, "Aren't you? If you weren't afraid of your wife, wouldn't you have been able to decide on the matter I asked of you last time?" The fu^ll s&e+r%i@e+s l@i$ve%s on My Vi#r#[email protected]#l+ L+i&br%ary^ E%m@pir@e^ (^M|&V^|L@0EM^P-Y*R*)-.^
Yang Fei awkwardly said, "That matter concerns the nation and the people; it's not convenient for me to decide."
Li Xuanyu snorted, "So, you still don't trust me, huh? I've been completely open with you, but you're still guarding against me, aren't you? Haha, Yang Fei, you've hurt me deeply."
Saying this, her eyes reddened as she turned and left.
Yang Fei, seeing her eyes turn red, felt deeply guilty and quickly called out, "Sister Xuanyu, don't be like this. I'll definitely speak for you; your concern is my concern. How could I possibly ignore you?"
Li Xuanyu immediately stopped and turned back to look at him, "Really?"
Yang Fei, seeing a cunning look flash in her eyes, silently cursed himself for falling into a trap.
Li Xuanyu seemed afraid he might regret it and said, "You said it yourself. That matter I mentioned last time, you have to help me talk to Qin Yanyang about it."
Yang Fei, seeing so many people watching, had no choice but to agree with gritted teeth.
"Honored guests, since you're here, why not stay for a few days? We can chat when we have nothing else to do," Yang Fei said to the three of the Xu Family, as well as Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong.
Everyone had developed a deep friendship through wandering around the Western World and Japan together, and Yang Fei was quite accepting of them.
Ever since Xu Yunshan and the group arrived in the Yunwu Mountain Valley and experienced the rich Spiritual Energy here, they were filled with envy. Now, hearing Yang Fei invite them to stay longer, they were all pleased.
Especially Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong, who felt that Yang Fei considered them one of his own, this recognition meant the most to them.
Xu Yunshan suddenly remembered something and said to Yang Fei, "By the way, Brother Yang, there's something I need to tell you. According to the information from our Xu Family in the Golden Triangle, a lot of major events have recently occurred in An Nan. It seems a powerful foreign force has suddenly taken control of An Nan, becoming its hidden ruler."
Yang Fei immediately recalled what Qin Yanyang mentioned last time, coupled with the recent message Helian Rong received from her father and master, he speculated, "Is it the Hidden Sect?"
Xu Yunshan nodded, "It should be the Poison Sect. Intelligence suggests those people are skilled in poison. They quickly controlled An Nan's four aristocratic families with their aggressive toxins, grasping the situation in An Nan."
Yang Fei thought of the Xu Family, also skilled in poison, which had been operating in the southern islands and countries after being driven out by the domestic Martial World. The family still had influence in the south.
He felt a stirring in his heart and asked, "How strong is the Xu Family in An Nan?"
Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Xu Xiao exchanged glances and showed a bit of bitterness.
Xu Yunshan shook his head, "Our Xu Family attempted to covertly control An Nan initially, but unfortunately failed."
"Why?" Yang Fei asked.
Xu Xiao said, "Besides local Cultivation Experts in An Nan, Western forces were secretly assisting. Our Xu Family couldn't completely establish a foothold there."
Xu Liangyou said, "Mr. Yang, do you need our Xu Family to do anything? Although we're not that strong there, we do have some connections."
Yang Fei's eyes lit up, "That's enough. The three of you just need to have the Xu Family keep an eye on the situation there."
Xu Yunshan nodded, "That's no problem."
Yang Fei asked, "Aside from An Nan, does your Xu Family have connections in other countries?"
Xu Yunshan and his companions all nodded simultaneously.
"There are many Chinese in Luzon, and our Xu Family does more business there, relative to An Nan, it's even more influential," Xu Yunshan said.
Wang Chengcuo and Luo Yong secretly marveled at this.
No wonder it's the Xu Family.
The Divine Continent Martial World once joined forces to drive the Xu Family out of the Divine Continent. Unexpectedly, they found footing overseas, maintaining influence in multiple countries. Compared to their families only having influence in certain areas domestically, the Xu Family was much more formidable.
Of course, those countries are very small, some even smaller than a province in the Divine Continent, and some cities are larger than those countries.
The Luo Family and Wang Family having influence in local provinces and cities is already remarkable.
Yang Fei's eyes shone brighter, and he delightedly said, "Xu Family is really impressive, hahaha!"
The three members of the Xu Family showed a few signs of pride on their faces.
Yang Fei asked, "Isn't there any trouble in Luzon?"
The three members of the Xu Family shook their heads.
Xu Yunshan was curious and asked, "Mr. Yang, do you have any news? Could it be that Luzon is also targeted by the Hidden Sect Influence?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "No. I only know that the main forces of the Poison Sect and the Qingtian Sect have headed south and left the Divine Continent. Now that the Poison Sect has made a move on An Nan, and the Qingtian Sect has a good relationship with the Poison Sect, where will the Qingtian Sect go?"
"Could it be Tianzhu?"
"Myanmar is also possible."
"And there's Laos."
Everyone speculated.
Just then, Xu Yunshan's phone rang.
He took it out to see the caller's location, his expression changed, "It's the person in charge from Luzon calling."
Yang Fei immediately said, "Listen to see if it relates to this matter."
Xu Yunshan immediately pressed the answer key. Knowing that these people could hear without speakerphone, he readily enabled the speakerphone function.
