1204 War(3)

The room became dead silent after Xi Meili revealed the news to Yuan, who stood there with a surprised look on his face.

The silence eventually broke when Azure snapped out of her daze and exclaimed in a panicked voice, "P-Please wait a moment! The Azure Dragon Family wouldn't do something like—"

Xi Meili snapped her gaze to Azure and spoke with a slight frown on her face, "And who are you? Are you calling me a liar?"

"N-No! I simply think that there's been a misunderstanding! My friends call me Azure, but my name is Liang Lin, and I am from the Azure Dragon Fam

—"

Xi Meili's eyes radiated with killing intent the moment Azure mentioned being from the Azure Dragon Family.

Azure subconsciously stepped back with a fearful look on her face after sensing Xi Meili's killing intent.

"Please calm down, she did nothing wrong." Yuan suddenly spoke.

Xi Meili turned to look at him with a surprised look on her face, "Why are you protecting her? Now that I think about it, why are you even with someone from the Azure Dragon Family?"

"It's a coincidence that she invited me to a meal. That's all. Anyways, regarding the other matter, can you tell me a little more about what happened?"

Xi Meili nodded and said, "I will tell you on the way back. We cannot linger in this city for any longer or things will get dangerous for the both of us. We have to get back to warn my parents and get ready for their attack."

Yuan became silent as he began pondering.

A moment later, he spoke, "Bring me to the Azure Dragon Family."

"What?!" Xi Meili exclaimed before continuing, "Why would you want to do that?!"

Yuan then said, "If the Azure Dragon Family is really waging war against the Xi Family, why waste time going back when we can deal with it right now? We are already here, anyway."

Xi Meili's jaw dropped after hearing his words.

"Are you being serious…? There's no way we can handle this by ourselves! And we're not just fighting the Azure Dragon Family! The Emerald Dragon Family is also working with them!"

"Emerald Dragon Family? Who are they?" Yuan asked, as this was his first time hearing about them.

"They rule over the third largest city in this realm! They may not be as big as the Azure Dragon Family, but they are still a force to be reckoned with!"

"Are they in this city right now?" Yuan then asked.

"No, I don't think so…"

"Then there's nothing to be worried about. We can deal with them after we are done here."

"That's still suicidal! The Azure Family has three Spirit Sovereigns, nineteen Spirit Emperors, and over three thousand Spirit Kings! We simply cannot deal with that much by ourselves!"

"Three Spirit Sovereigns, huh. Are they stronger than your mother?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"Well… No, I don't think so… My mother has much more experience, superior techniques, and a superior bloodline. If my mother were to fight against them, she could probably take on two of them by herself."

Yuan smiled after hearing this information, and he said in a confident voice, "Then there's nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about…?" Xi Meili was baffled by his confidence.

"Do you trust me?" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Of course I do, but this isn't just about that. At the end of the day, you're still a guest in our family. I cannot let you bear such a big responsibility and put your life at risk." Xi Meili said with a worried look on her face.

Yuan chuckled, "You are thinking too much about it. In my eyes, my friend is in danger, and I only want to help her. It's as simple as that."

"Anyways, let's get going. We are in a hurry, right?"

"..."

Xi Meili was speechless. She knew that she would endanger the both of them if she listened to Yuan's suggestion, yet she couldn't refuse him for some reason.

"Okay…" She nodded in a dazed manner before walking towards the window.

Yuan followed her.

"Yuan… Who are you, really?" Azure couldn't help but ask him as he walked past her.

He looked at her and responded in a calm voice, "I was just your average tourist until moments ago."

Azure's eyes widened, and she continued after swallowing nervously, "Then what are you now?"

"I don't know yet."

Yuan then left the restaurant through the window, following behind Xi Meili.

Many moments after they left, Azure and the others snapped out of their daze.

"W-What should we do now? If the Azure Dragon Family is really going to war with the Xi Family, things will get really messy for all of us…" Li Na began panicking when she realized the severity of their situation.

A war between two of the biggest powers in the realm would affect everyone, even those who don't partake in the war.

"I don't know… but there's nothing we can do about it…" Azure sighed.

In the end, Azure decided to return to her family to catch up with the situation.

On their way to the Azure Dragon Family, Xi Meili explained the whole situation to Yuan, who would gradually become more angry as he learned more about the situation.

Sometime later, they arrived at the Azure Dragon Family, spectating the situation from above.

The banquet at the courtyard was completely gone, almost as though it never occurred. Instead of food and decorations, the courtyard was occupied by hundreds if not thousands of soldiers.

Of course, Patriarch Liang was there, and he appeared to be giving them a speech at the moment.

"Yuan… This is your last chance to change your mind…" Xi Meili looked at him with a stiff expression on her face.

Yuan didn't say anything and directly began descending towards the courtyard.

Xi Meili could only release a deep sigh before following him.

Once they were close enough, Patriarch Liang noticed their presence and stopped his speech to stare at them with a profound frown on his face, his gaze fixated on Yuan for some reason.
