Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 471
Chapter 471: Fang Tianhua’s Assessment!
Inside the Tang family’s villa.
Tang Guodong was surrounded by countless Tang family higher-ups. It could be said that he was in a predicament. Not only did he have to appease the hearts of the Tang family, he also had to think of ways to help the Tang family with their crisis.
Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu’s influence had been taken over by Yinshi and Xuanfeng. This was already a known fact. Therefore, everyone knew that the previous wave of attacks were simply a test.
“Second brother, in your opinion, how should the Tang family deal with this?” A middle-aged man who was sitting down asked in a deep voice.
Tang Zuoyi was the third son of the Tang family.
Another member of the Tang family said anxiously, “Second master, we do not know whether the old man is alive or not, and Tang Ning is not around. You are the only one who can make the decisions in the Tang family.”
“Tang Ning has gone completely overboard. After such a huge incident, she still has the gall to go outside. If I knew this would have happened, I would have prevented her from being the heir! ”
“…”
Everyone was talking at the same time, causing the entire hall to become extremely rowdy and chaotic. If it wasn’t for Tang Guodong, they would have already gone their separate ways.
Only Fang Tianhua stood away from the crowd with a horsetail whisk in his hand, not saying a word.
“That’s enough!” Tang Guodong slammed his fist onto the table. After everyone had calmed down, he spoke, “It is a matter of life and death for the Tang family. Everyone, don’t panic. We can only defeat our adversaries if we work together. ”
“Second brother, why don’t we just let them come and meet the Old Master? I don’t think they would dare harm the Old Master… ” Tang Zuoyi, the third brother of the Tang family, couldn’t help but speak up.
“Yeah, I’ve heard that Master Yinshi is a well-known exorcist in Taibang, and that Master Xuanfeng is ruthless. If we provoke them in any way… ”
His words immediately garnered the approval of many people.
“B*stard!” Tang Guodong was livid. “Third brother, are you out of your mind? The Old Master is already in such a sickly state, and you’re still supportive of letting outsiders into our home? Are you hoping that the Old Master has an early death?”
Tang Zuoyi resentfully refrained from speaking.
What he said was completely out of desperation. In fact, he was perfectly aware that there were outsiders who harbored malicious intentions and wished for the old man to die. And when the old man did die, they would have free reign to destroy the Tang family.
A youthful woman in her forties piped up, “Second brother, then please give us a way to appease everyone!”
Tang Guodong hesitated for a moment before he proceeded, “I just received a call from Xiao Ning. She told me that she has already brought Master Ye over to our side. We just need to hold on for a while.”
“Master Ye?”
“Which Master Ye?”
” … ”
Everyone looked at each other, utter confusion painted on their features.
Tang Guodong explained, “Master Ye is Mad Southern Ye whose name shook China. A few days ago, he even killed Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu.”
As soon as the words left his lips, the entire room broke apart into mayhem.
“What? It’s him?”
“How did Tang Ning get into contact with Mad Southern Ye?”
“If it really is Mad Southern Ye, then the Tang family will be saved. There could be no way that this is a lie, right?”
Faced with everyone’s judgement, Tang Guodong took a deep breath and said, “To be honest with everyone, the Tang family has already acknowledged Mad Southern Ye as their leader in secret. Elder Tang has also supported us on this matter. There will be no confusion.”
Everyone was stunned. A row of disbelieving exclamations and cries filled the room. Clearly, they were shocked by the news.
“The Tang family has acknowledged Mad Southern Ye as our leader? Is there a mistake? No matter how strong Mad Southern Ye is, he still has no place to be our leader, right?” Someone immediately objected.
The leader of the Tang family!
The weight of these five words was simply too great!
His words immediately received the support of mostly everyone in the room. Even the third son of the Tang family, Tang Zuoyi, was no exception. “Second brother, why wasn’t I aware of this?”
“This matter was only to my knowledge, Xiao Ning. Because it happened so suddenly, he found no opportunity to inform everyone,” Tang Guodong said in a deep voice.
Tang Zuoyi couldn’t help but to frown at Fang Tianhua. “Master Fang, do you think that Mad Southern Ye really is how the rumors say he is? Not only is he the number one ancient martial arts master in China, but that he also killed Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu at the Longmen Convention?”
Everyone looked at Fang Tianhua.
“That’s right! ”
Fang Tianhua opened his eyes and nodded. “I cannot imagine how strong Master Ye is. At the age of 30, he became the number one ancient martial arts master in the world. He also cultivates his strength in both magic and martial arts. He has great supernatural power.”
His words lifted the weight that had burdened everyone’s hearts.
Someone could not help but ask, “Master Fang, do you think that Mad Southern Ye would be a match for Yinshi and Xuanfeng?”
The room immediately fell silent as they all began to listen intently.
Even Tang Guodong was no exception.
In reality, most people had only heard of how powerful Ye Chen was and had never actually seen him in person.
Forcefully meeting everyone’s gaze, Fang Tianhua sighed softly and said, “This old man isn’t certain either. From a logical standpoint, Mad Southern Ye would be quite powerful since he was able to kill both Shen Tiannan and Lei Feihu. However, he will be facing Master Yinshi and Sage Xuanfeng this time.”
He paused momentarily before he spoke once more, “Master Yinshi is known as the Black Magic Grand Master in Taibang, and he is also considered number one in Taibang. Thirty years ago, he was defeated by Shen Tiannan with a single move. Over those past thirty years, he has been painstakingly cultivating his strength. My own strength is only slightly inferior to Shen Tiannan’s. In the end, I was left heavily-injured by his palm.”
He coughed a few times. Traces of scarlet blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth. “From that alone, it can be said that Yinshi’s strength is even stronger than Shen Tiannan’s. It is even possible that he has already attained the legendary Origin Energy. Moreover, the other man, Xuanfeng is also the disciple of the deceased Master Guigu from Macau. With the two of them working together, Mad Southern Ye might…”
His voice gradually faltered.
Everyone’s hearts sank. Clearly, they did not expect Yinshi and Xuanfeng to be so strong.
“I think it’s better to have an open discussion with Yinshi and the others. No matter what they want, we are going to have to give it to them, even if it means acknowledging them as our leaders,” Tang Zuoyi said hesitantly.
Tang Guodong flew into a rage. “Third brother, you…”
“Second brother, please don’t blame me!”
Tang Zuoyi braced himself as he spoke, “Master Fang has said that Mad Southern Ye is no match for Yinshi and Xuanfeng. Therefore, even if he makes it in time, he will not be able to save us. It would be better to surrender instead of trying to fight back.”
“Third master is right!”
The plump young woman from earlier nodded in agreement. “It’s said that Yinshi has always wanted to seek revenge on Shen Tiannan. Now that Shen Tiannan has died at the hands of Mad Southern Ye, why don’t we trick Mad Southern Ye into coming here? This would give Yinshi a chance to settle the score with Shen Tiannan. This way, there might be a chance that he’ll leave the Tang family in peace.”
Just as they broke into discussion, a young man rushed in, his eyes filled with dread. “Second Master, this is not good. Master Yin… Master Yinshi and Sage Xuanfeng have joined forces!”
“What?!”
At that very moment, Tang Guodong, Fang Tianhua, and the others stood up in shock, their hair standing on end. “Both of them have come together?”
“Yes… Yes!” The young man stuttered.
Fang Tianhua sucked in a shaky breath, looking at Tang Guodong before speaking, “Second master, I suggest you adopt the strategy that was suggested by the third master.”
Tang Guodong’s heart sank.
Apparently, even Master Fang had no faith in Mad Southern Ye’s capabilties!
唐家别墅之内!
唐国栋此刻被无数唐家高层包围,可以说是焦头烂额,一边要安抚唐家众人的心,一边又要想着如何才有助唐家脱难的危机.
沈天南与雷飞虎的势力被阴蚀和玄风两人收编,这已经是公开的秘密了,因此所有人都知道,先前的那波只不过是试探罢了.
“二哥,依你之见,我唐家如今如何应付才好?”坐在下方的一位中年男子沉声道.
他是唐家老三唐作义.
另一位唐家核心族人无比焦急的道:”二爷,如今老爷子生死不知,唐宁那个死丫头又不在,整个唐家能拿主意的就您了.”
“唐宁这丫头也真是的,发生了这么大一件事,竟然还在外面,早知道当初就不应该让她来当这个继承人的.”
“…”
众人各种七嘴八舌的,令得整个大厅之内嘈杂混乱不堪,要不是有唐国栋镇场的话,说不定早就各奔东西了.
唯有方天画手拿拂尘立在一旁,一言不发.
“够了!”
唐国栋猛地拍了一下桌子,待得众人安静下来之后,才沉声道:”现在是我唐家生死存亡之际,大家不要乱,只有团结在一起才能抵御外敌.”
“二哥,我看要不干脆就让他们进来看看老爷子吧,谅他们也不敢对老爷子做什么…”唐家老三唐作义忍不住道.
“是啊,我可是听说了,那位阴蚀大师可是泰邦出了名的降头师,还有那位玄风真人,心狠手辣,要是激怒了他们…”
他的话当即引起了不少人的赞同.
“混账!”
唐国栋脸色一片铁青:”老三,你说的这是人话吗?老爷子如今已经这样了,你还敢让外人进来围观?你是嫌老爷子死得不够快吗?”
唐作义悻悻不语.
他刚才那也是情急出口,事实上,就连他也明白外面那些人的不怀好意,巴不得老爷子身死,老爷子一死,他们就有蚕食唐家的机会了.
一位约莫四十余岁,风韵犹存的少妇开口道:”二哥,那你倒是给个办法安大家的心啊!”
唐国栋犹豫了下,最终还是开口道:”我刚刚接到小宁的电话,她说她已经带着叶大师朝我们这边赶来了,我们只要坚持一下就行了.”
“叶大师?”
“哪位叶大师?”
“…”
众人你望我,我望你的,满脸不解.
唐国栋解释道:”叶大师便是名震华国的叶南狂,前些日子更是斩杀了沈天南与雷飞虎两人.”
随着他的话音落下,众人一阵哗然.
“什么?竟然是他?”
“唐宁是怎么和叶南狂认识的?”
“如果真是叶南狂的话,那我唐家这下有救了,只是该不会是骗人的吧?”
面对众人的议论,唐国栋深吸了一口气,道:”各位,实不相瞒,我唐家暗地里已经认叶南狂为主,这件事也得到了老爷子的支持,所以我说的话绝对没有任何水分.”
众人先是一呆,随即发出各种不可置信的惊呼声,显然是被这个消息给惊到了.
“我们唐家竟然认叶南狂为主?有没有搞错,叶南狂即便再强,可也不够资格当我唐家的主人吧?”有人当即反对道.
唐家之主!
实在是这四个字的分量太大了!
他的话当即得到了不少人的支持,即便是唐家老三唐作义也不例外:”二哥,这件事我怎么不知道?”
“此事只有我,小宁,老爷子知道,因为事发突然,也没来得及向大家解释清楚.”唐国栋沉声道.
唐作义皱了皱眉,随即不禁看向一旁的方天画:”方大师,您觉得叶南狂真如传闻所说,不但是华国古武界第一人,更是在龙门大会上斩杀了沈天南与雷飞虎二人?”
所有人顿时下意识的看向方天画.
“不错!”
方天画睁开双眸,点头道:”叶大师之强非老夫可以想象,以三十岁之姿问鼎古武界第一人,更是法武双修,身具莫大的神通之术.”
他的话也算是安了不少人的心.
有人忍不住问道:”方大师,那您觉得叶南狂会是阴蚀和玄风两人的对手吗?”
众人急忙住嘴,竖起了耳朵.
即便是唐国栋也不例外.
事实上,叶辰有多强,大多数人都只是听闻,并没有亲眼目睹过.
硬上众人的目光,方天画轻叹一声道:”这个老夫也不清楚,按理说叶南狂能够斩杀沈天南与雷飞虎,实力自然不低,可这次他要面对的却是阴蚀大师和玄风真人两位.”
说到这里,他顿了一下,再度道:”这位阴蚀在泰邦号称大降头师,更是泰邦第一人,三十年前他也只是以一招之差败于沈天南之手,这三十年来,他一直苦心修炼,而老夫的实力也只比沈天南差上一丝,结果却被对方一掌重伤.”
他猛地咳嗽了几下,嘴角溢出一丝猩红的血迹:”由此可见,阴蚀的实力比沈天南还要强,甚至有可能已经触及到了传说中的元罡境,再者,另外一位玄风更是澳港已故大师鬼谷大师的弟子,两人联手之下,叶南狂恐怕…”
他的话音渐渐沉了下去.
众人的心也跟着沉了下去,显然是没想到阴蚀和玄风竟然会这么强.
“我看不如开诚布公的和阴蚀他们谈谈吧,不管他们要什么我们都给什么,哪怕是认他们为主也可以.”唐作义欲言又止的道.
唐国栋勃然大怒:”老三,你…”
“二哥,你也别怪我!”
唐作义硬着头皮道:”方大师都说了,叶南狂不是阴蚀和玄风的对手,因此即便他及时赶来了,也救不了我们唐家,与其这样,还不如主动向他们投诚.”
“三爷说得不错!”
先前的丰韵少妇点头认同道:”据说阴蚀一直想着要找沈天南雪耻,如今沈天南死在了叶南狂的手上,我们何不把叶南狂诓骗过来,也算是成全阴蚀的心结,这样一来,说不定他会放我们唐家一马.”
正说着的时候,只见一位青年很是惶恐的冲了进来:”二爷,不好了,阴…阴蚀大师和玄风真人联手来了!”
“什么?!!”
这一刻.
唐国栋和方天画几人尽数惊得站了起来,神色骇然不已:”他们两人全都来了?”
“是…是的!”青年结结巴巴的道.
方天画倒吸了一口冷气,看向唐国栋道:”二爷,我建议你采纳三爷先前所言.”
唐国栋的心彻底沉了下去.
显然就连方大师也不看好叶南狂了!
