As he spoke, Yang Ao slowly stood up, a frightening aura spread out, and his sharp eyes surrounded everyone and said: "Regarding Li'er's marriage, if there is someone who is really good enough and Li'er likes it, I will not object. I am a father, I just hope that my child can be happy forever. She is my dearest daughter, not a tool to exchange any interests, nor a sacrifice for anyone."

When he said this, Yang Ao glanced at the elder. Seeing this, the elder moved his eyes to other places without a trace, and naturally avoided Yang Ao's eyes.

Yang Ao snorted coldly and continued: "I hope everyone remembers that as long as I, Yang Ao, am here, the Yang family can thrive without any external help. Don't mention the marriage again in the future. Well, we have discussed enough today. Let's go back. Something big may happen recently. Everyone should prepare well after returning to meet the upcoming crisis."

After a while, seeing that the dozens of people present dispersed one after another, the elder also slowly left the hall, and said inwardly: "Two young boys, singing the same tune against me, do you really think I can't see it? Sooner or later, I will make sure you die without a burial place", and then left the hall.

After everyone left, only Yang Ao and Ye Changkong were left in the empty hall. Yang Ao turned around and said in a teasing and caring tone, "Changkong, you are still as sharp-tongued as ever, and you really pissed off that old guy! But don't be so reckless next time, lest he secretly targets you."

"Haha, what Yang Erge said, isn't it all thanks to your cooperation? I've been displeased with this old guy for a long time. To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't want to stay in the Yang family for a moment," Ye Changkong said with a smile.

"I'm sorry for wronging you, Changkong. If it weren't for me, you could have been free and unfettered in the universe," Yang Ao said with guilt.

Ye Changkong is now the Silver Sky Envoy of the Yang Family's two Flying Silver Envoys. There is also a Flying Cloud Envoy named Nie Yang. They are all sworn brothers that Yang Ao made when he was training outside in his early years. Since both of them are people who regard the world as their home, when Yang Ao returned to the Yang Family to succeed the head of the family, they were invited by Yang Ao to come to the Yang Family to help Yang Ao. During this period, they helped Yang Ao a lot. They are all free-spirited people, but they value friendship more, so they have stayed in the Yang Family and never left. Over the years, Yang Ao always felt guilty and thought that he had bound them.

"What grievances! You are talking so seriously. We are all brothers. Don't say these words again in the future," Ye Changkong said casually.

Yang Ao smiled and said nothing more, because for many things, if he said too much, it would be redundant. Just remember it in your heart.

Then Ye Changkong sighed with a worried look on his face: "Second brother, the demon world has been harassing the heaven, human and god worlds in recent years in conjunction with the demon and underworld worlds. I am afraid that there will be a war soon. At that time, our big families and sects will definitely bear the brunt. We must prepare early!"

"Yes! At that time, the Emperor of Heaven will definitely ask all sects to send disciples to reinforce. No one is sure whether they can survive in such a war. I don't know how many disciples will be sacrificed this time! "Yang Ao sighed with a sad look.

"Oh, don't think about it anymore. It's useless to think about it. It's better to prepare early so that you can have a better chance of winning. I'll go prepare first." He said and turned into a mysterious light and flew away.

Yang Ao hurriedly said: "Don't rush to leave. Mingyang has learned a few new dishes recently. Let's have a drink together? ”

“Haha, I won’t disturb your love,” a slightly teasing voice came from a distance, drifting farther and farther.

“This guy,” Yang Ao cursed with a smile, and then turned into a mysterious light and flew towards a huge courtyard.

As one of the four major families in Tiandu, the Yang family’s sphere of influence is in the south of the imperial city, the Yun family in the north, the Feng family in the west, and the Shangguan family in the east. Of course, not the entire Tiandu is the sphere of influence of the four major families, but the sphere of influence covered by the four major families is a little larger than that of other forces. There are also countless large and small families and various forces from the heavens and the world. The combination of these forces has formed a huge city and created a prosperous scene in the entire imperial city. The supreme Lingxiao Imperial City is in the center of these forces and has become a city within a city. This layout is to better protect the imperial city and to better control these forces.

The Yang family has many disciples, so the layout of the place where they live is also very particular. The northern part of the nearest imperial city is where the direct descendants of the Yang family live, where the elders and elite disciples live, and the courtyards of these two imperial sides are also the most luxurious, while the west and south are where ordinary disciples and maids and servants live, and the courtyards are relatively worse.

The Yang family has a great influence in the Ten Thousand Worlds, and its influence is even more widespread in the Ten Thousand Worlds. Therefore, when Yang Ao's son, Yang Chen, was born, many people came to congratulate him, but they never thought that they would cause a big trouble.

After these people saw the stunning face of Yang Xueli, the eldest daughter of the Yang family, they couldn't stop from then on. There was an endless stream of people coming to see Yang Xueli every day, and there were countless people proposing marriage. Yang Ao originally wanted to decline politely, but there were many giant families and sects among them, and even direct princes from all walks of life. Even the Yang family did not have the ability to offend so many forces at once, so there was a scene of discussion in the hall.

"Brother? Just as Yang Ao was about to enter the courtyard, he was suddenly stopped by a voice behind him. Yang Ao turned around and smiled slightly, saying, "Third brother, it's you! What do you want to talk to me about?

"It's not a big deal. I just have some suggestions about Li'er, so I want to tell you my opinion," the man said.

"Is that so? Does the third brother have any good suggestions? I also want to hear your ideas." Yang Ao replied.

The man said, "First of all, Li'er can't marry Di Xiao, because Di Xiao is insidious and despicable. If she marries Di Xiao, Li'er will definitely suffer. But if she refuses the royal marriage, it will lose the face of the Emperor of Heaven and offend many powerful forces at the same time. That will be very detrimental to the development of my Yang family in the future."

"Third brother, if you have any good suggestions, just say it," Yang Ao said.

"There are ways, big brother, you see, Di Xiao is not the only one who likes Li'er. Doesn't the twenty-fourth prince Di Ling also like Li'er? Besides, he spent some time with Li'er when he was a child, and they were childhood sweethearts. He didn't see anyone except Li'er when he came to visit. Doesn't this prove something? "The man smiled and continued, "And Di Ling is not only talented, but also generous and decent, indifferent to fame and fortune, mild-tempered, and handsome. Even if I don't say these, I believe that my elder brother knows better than me. If Di Ling can marry Li'er, first of all, Li'er will definitely be happy, secondly, it will give enough face to the Emperor of Heaven, and thirdly, it won't have to offend so many powerful forces. Isn't it good to kill three birds with one stone?"

"Well, what the third brother said makes sense," Yang Ao pondered for a while, but then said, "But I have to ask Mingyang and Li'er what they think first. I will carefully consider the third brother's suggestion."

The man said, "Brother, you are polite. You and I are both members of the direct line of the Yang family. We should seek benefits for our Yang family. That's it. I should leave. After saying that, Yang Xiao bowed and left.

Seeing this, Yang Ao smiled bitterly and turned to enter the courtyard.

After Yang Ao left, the man standing at the corner who had not walked far away had a sinister look in his eyes and pursed his lips: "Brother, I can't help it. Who made my niece so talented? She is a spiritual body that only exists in legends. She is a natural saint king and her cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds. In front of her, it seems that all the peerless monsters have become mediocre. As long as she is there, how can I take back what belongs to me? "Hehe..., brother, cherish your last moments! "After saying that, he turned into a mysterious light and disappeared into the sky.

This man was Yang Xiao, the third son of the Yang family, and also Yang Ao's biological brother. On the surface, he was a modest gentleman who lived in harmony with the world, but in fact, he was scheming and full of vicious schemes, which later caused trouble for Yang Chen and Yang Xueli...

In the courtyard, it was quiet and peaceful at this time. The branches and leaves on the trees rustled in the breeze. Beside the clear pool, in the pavilion, a beautiful woman was playing the guqin with her ten fingers. She was wearing a crimson long skirt, with a slender figure, delicate skin like jade, and curved eyebrows as beautiful as the moon in the sky. Her eyes were full of affection at all times, as if they could melt the heart of any tough guy. Her delicate nose did not look out of place on her face, and her thin red lips made her look even more attractive. The low and gentle sound of the guqin flowed along the woman's fingertips, making people unconsciously immersed in this mood with a little sadness.

This woman is Yang Ao's wife, Situ Mingyang. She has been exhausted for her son's affairs. Yang Ao feels very distressed, but more guilty.

"I heard that the lady's piano sound is a little sad. Did you encounter something unpleasant?" Yang Ao came from behind and hugged the woman's slender waist and said softly. Feeling Yang Ao's deep love, the woman's jade face blushed and leaned on Yang Ao's shoulder, saying softly: "I have read so many ancient books and classics, but there is still no way. Can Chen'er really only be an ordinary mortal? In fact, I don't want our Chen'er to be famous in the world. I just don't want him to live for only a hundred years like a mortal. I don't want him to leave us like this." Situ Mingyang's tears fell as she spoke.

"Yes, Yang'er, please believe me, I will definitely find a way, I will definitely find a way. "Yang Ao comforted her softly, his tone full of care, but his eyes full of determination, thinking: "We have been preparing for so long, and we only need a few materials...
