Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2032

2032 Aren’t You Afraid of Angering Him?

However, Yang Sijie was no longer looking at Yang Hanxian with such a pure gaze but with scheming eyes instead.

Yang Ji looked at the four red-robed figures with fear.

When one of the four adjusted their robes, Yang Ji instinctively avoided their gaze.

Yang Sijie knew of the four red-robed figures’ existence long ago. However, he never expected them to turn up at an imperial meeting.

!!
No outsiders had ever been present at previous private imperial meetings.

Yang Sijie knew that this unprecedented situation was taking place because his father no longer wanted to hide the existence of the Truth Association.

This caused Yang Sijie’s chest to contract.

Presently, the Truth Association was controlling the Yang family from the shadows.

But once the matter was exposed, the unity of the Yang family’s internal affairs would crumble in an instant.

It would be impossible to rebuild the unity once it crumbled.

Even if he had recruited Little Peach and was trying to incite a fight between Sky Creation and the Truth Association through mobbing, until the Truth Association and Sky Creation took each other out and left the Yang family to regain control, there would be no point in him controlling the Yang family then.

Thus, Yang Sijie was secretly trying to come up with a way to prevent his father from revealing the existence of the Truth Association at the imperial meeting.

Alas, he could not come up with anything.

He was now fully in charge of the matter regarding Little Peach.

Little Peach had become Yang Sijie’s biggest source of support.

Yang Sijie did not want to mention Little Peach at the imperial meeting.

If he spoke too much, he could attract his father’s attention.

This would cause his plan to fail before it even began.

An idea popped into Yang Sijie’s head.

Before Yang Hanxian announced that the imperial meeting was going to begin, Yang Sijie looked anxious and said, “Father, I have confirmed with the Holy Lady that Chu Yuan of Sky Creation indeed entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.

“Sky Creation is still in Sacred Forest City, and I have placed people to keep watch on Sky Creation’s movements. As such, I was informed that they had resumed business today. Sky Creation has a Class 5 Creation Master. I’m afraid that if they stay in Sacred Forest City for too long—”

Before Yang Sijie could finish speaking, the fourth Truth Association member, sitting to Yang Hanxian’s right, sneered haughtily, “Yang Hanxian, what is going on? Why didn’t you report to me that a faction with a Class 5 Creation Master has appeared in Sacred Forest City? If you have the gall not to report such a matter, aren’t you afraid of angering him?”

The words of the Truth Association member caused the eyes of all the Yang family members to widen, and they soon started shouting their concerns.

Most of the direct descendants of the Yang family did not understand the situation and had been guessing the identities of the four red-robed men.

But what the man said made the Yang family seem like a leashed dog.

What was going on?

Yang Sijie’s chest tightened when he heard what the Truth Association member said.

He had mentioned Sky Creation to shift his father’s attention. However, he had not expected to attract the Truth Association’s attention instead and for him to instantly put his father on the spot.

Unless his father could kill the four members of the Truth Association, his father’s authority would vanish.

But regardless of whether his father was able to kill this member of the Truth Association, his father’s current attitude toward the Truth Association would cause him to apologize immediately.

His words had made things difficult for his father.

In such a situation, it was unlikely that things would end well for him.

Yang Sijie already caught sight of Yang Hanxian, looking at him with rage. But there was also unmistakable fear in his eyes.

Yang Hanxian, the head of the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court, hurriedly bowed to the Truth Association member and said, “I invited the four of you to attend the imperial meeting because I wanted to tell you about this matter so you can make a decision! The Yang family won’t be able to handle a faction with a Class 5 Creation Master without your help.”

Yang Hanxian’s words caused the dignity and honor of everyone from the Yang family to crumble.

Yang Sijie sat in his seat with his hands clasped in his lap, but there was nothing he could do.

Previously, Yang Sijie only knew that his father was afraid of the Truth Association.

But he did not expect his father to debase himself to such an extent in front of the Truth Association.

The Truth Association member was clearly not sold by what Yang Hanxian said. His voice was as arrogant as ever as he said, “The Yang family only has two Class 4 Creation Masters, yet you have the audacity to try to take on a faction with a Class 5 Creation Master.

“Class 5 Creation Masters are like the sky, while Class 4 Creation Masters are like dirt. Even pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters are nothing more than just larger rocks.

“Now, report all you know about the Class 5 Creation Master this instant! The Lord’s envoy has personally come to Sacred Forest City! If you leave out even one piece of information, Lord Envoy will turn your body inside out.”

Previously, the Truth Association member’s words had only been impolite to Yang Hanxian.

But now, he was clearly deciding the fate of Yang Hanxian’s life or death.

At first, Yang Sijie thought that Yang Hanxian was only deep in the Truth Association’s pockets and only needed to be pulled out.

But it turned out that his father was nothing but an inconsequential pawn in the eyes of the Truth Association.

At first, Yang Sijie had been smug over his recruitment of Little Peach. But now, his heart plummeted.

His father was a pinnacle Immortal expert. In the eyes of the Truth Association, he was nothing more than a bug that could be crushed at any time without making a difference.

Little Peach was only willing to help him because he could offer her sufficient profits.

But he had not even reached Immortal. What right did he have to involve himself in this storm?

Regardless of what the ending of the fight between Sky Creation and the Truth Association was, it would not have anything to do with him.

When Yang Hanxian heard what the Truth Association member said, he seemed to remember something horrifying as his body started trembling uncontrollably.
