Chapter 685 - 5 Regain the Advantage (1/2)

In the pavilion, Xie Jue and the others are all embarrassed.

Xie Fangyou’s arrival is out of their control and expectation.

Even if the master of the Xie Family is Xie Jue, he doesn’t dare to act recklessly before Xie Fangyou. They are all receiving the tongue-lashing with their heads lowered.

“Grandpa, why did you lie to me?” Xie Zhuolian asks with tears in her eyes. The truth is a bit too brutal for her to accept.

“Ahem. Zhuolian, actually, we want to do nothing but to get Gao Ge to join us through you,” Xie Jue says with a bitter smile.

“…”

Xie Zhuolian is a smart girl. She quickly thinks of something soon and then says open-mouthed, “Were it you who deliberately spread the news?”

Seeing Xie Jue’s guilty eyes, Xie Zhuolian only feels dizzy, staggers and almost falls.

Xie Fangyou reaches out his hand to hold her and then glares at Xie Jue and the others.

“How old are you? You are several hundred years old in total. How can you lie to a little girl? Do you have a great sense of achievement?” Xie Fangyou snaps.

Xie Jue says resignedly, “Dad, can you stay out of this?”

“Stay out of this? So I just stand aside and watch you deceive her?” Xie Fangyou widens his eyes. “Are you saying that I’m wrong?”

“No…” Xie Jue hastens to shake his head.

He is 75 years old now but if he pisses off his father, Xie Fangyou will still come forward and hit him with the stick.

“Dad, Gao Ge is a good talent and I’ve learned that his aura can save lives and cure injuries. Earth Dragon once lost an arm and then Gao Ge helped regrow his arm with his aura…” Xie Zhen says in a low voice.

“Helped him regrow the lost arm?” Xie Fangyou is astonished. “It’s so unbelievable!”

“How dare I lie to you?” Xie Zhen hastens to say.

Xie Fangyou frowns and presses his hands on the stick.

“In this case, if Gao Ge joins our family, it won’t be a bad thing indeed…”

“Great-grandpa!” Xie Zhuolian becomes anxious.

Xie Fangyou laughs and says, “Of course, our family never forces others to do anything. Here is the deal. Zhuolian, bring a few people to find Gao Ge and tell him that as long as he is willing to join the Xie Family, he can put forward whatever conditions he wants. As long as his conditions are reasonable, we can agree anyway.”

“What if he is unwilling to?” Xie Zhuolian asks in a low voice.

“If he is unwilling to, I will go to the Poison Sect and deal with this matter,” Xie Fangyou says calmly.

“Dad, you can’t!”

“Great-grandpa…”

“Dad, you shouldn’t!”

Xie Fangyou waves his hand.

“Gao Ge acquired the Book of Poison and gave it to our family, which is a great favor for us. What you did is pardonable but it is still heartless and immoral. If Gao Ge dies, our family will be gravely sinful. Someone must stand up and shoulder the responsibility. I, Xie Fangyou, am 120 years old now. It may be inappropriate for you to do that but not for me. That’s final for this matter. No need for further discussion.”

After saying that, Xie Fangyou turns around and leaves.

There is a rush of yowling behind him and he just turns a deaf ear to that.

Xie Fangyou came here quietly. When he leaves, he is also rather decisive.

All the people present know it is impossible to make Xie Fangyou change his mind so they can only gaze at Xie Zhuolian.

“Zhuolian, it is an important matter. We can only count on you,” Xie Jue sighs and says.

Xie Zhuolian has been dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the situation has become like this.

“Yeah, Zhuolian, you must find a way to rope in Gao Ge to join us. If you can’t, you can invite him to our family and we will talk him over to our side!” Xie Zhen also hastens to shout.

Xie Zhuolian heaves a sigh. “Grandpa, I can only try my best but I can’t be sure of the result.”

Xie Jue also understands Xie Zhuolian’s predicament so he can only nod his head. “You just do your best. If you also cannot persuade him, I must go to meet him by myself if necessary.”

Xie Jue can’t remember when he got out of the blessed spot the last time.
