Nangong Ba was very unhappy because his brothers kept asking him questions.
"It's so annoying. This kid is trying to cheat. Third brother, grab my hand and press down hard. I'll show you how he cheats." Nangong Ba said angrily.
Nangong Ao was stunned, but still pushed his second brother's hand downwards, and Nangong Ba suddenly relaxed his strength, and Nangong Ao's hand immediately sank downwards. He felt like he was going to fall, so he instinctively pulled his strength upwards.
Nangong Ba took the opportunity and pulled Nangong Ao upwards with force, and he was almost knocked over.
"Third brother, do you understand now?" asked Nangong Ba.
This time Nangong Ao understood.
"This, I didn't expect to win like this. This kid is scheming and scheming. Second brother, you are too stupid. You were fooled by him." Nangong Ao couldn't help but complain.
But Nangong Ba was unhappy.
“Come on, you, you say I’m stupid? You knew clearly that you were no match for him, yet you insisted on holding on, and in the end, you were knocked unconscious by a slap in the face. Losing is losing, and what’s the point of not admitting defeat? You want to appear very tenacious, right?” Nangong Ba said sarcastically.
Nangong Ao felt aggrieved, but he had to admit that he had indeed lost and Ye Liuyun defeated him fairly.
"Eh? Everyone, everyone, I..." Ye Liuyun was a little troubled by the men and women around him.
This was even more passionate than last night.
Fortunately, Ye Ninglu came over and said something loudly.
"Why are you surrounding me so tightly? He's my brother. Get out of the way."
When Ye Ninglu opened her mouth, the people surrounding Ye Liuyun were startled for a moment, and then quickly made way.
"He is my sister-in-law's younger brother. I knew it, this guy looks so much like my sister-in-law." The people around him understood Ye Liuyun's identity.
"Okay, okay, that's enough. Why are so many of you surrounding him? Don't scare him. Disperse and do what you need to do." Nangong Hui also spoke.
In the end, only Nangong Hui's brothers and sisters stayed behind. These sisters had already been met yesterday.
"Brother Yun, you are so awesome. You actually beat my second and third brothers. I have decided that you will be their idol from now on." A young girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old said to Ye Liuyun with a smile.
This girl is Nangong Lingtian’s daughter, Nangong Ya, and also the most beautiful daughter.
"Hey, you're not afraid. Your two brothers are unhappy." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Tsk, these two, one looks like a big bear, and the other looks like a big goose, not interesting at all. Hehe, Brother Yun, how about letting me play with you during the few days you're in the Nangong family?" Nangong Ya volunteered.
This little girl had already looked at Ye Liuyun yesterday, but was stopped by Li Ninglu. She definitely couldn't miss such a good opportunity today.
After all, her mother told her privately that Ye Liuyun's identity was special, and if she could win Ye Liuyun's favor, there would only be benefits and no harm in the future.
In fact, yesterday Nangong Ya couldn’t quite understand why a man whose cultivation was lower than hers would take the initiative to show his affection to her.
But today, I finally understood that this incredibly handsome man was more capable than my two brothers and basically surpassed 99% of his peers in the family.
"Xiao Ya, how can you talk like that? Did I lose? I didn't lose, he was the one cheating." Nangong Ba was very dissatisfied.
"That's right, Brother Yun, although I lost, I will not admit defeat. Wait, when I get a chance to challenge you again, I will definitely beat you." Nangong Ao also said.
"Come on, you. You should beat me first. If I had known, I would have been the first one to go on the court today. If I hadn't seen my brother-in-law fighting with you first and if I wasn't in my prime condition, I would have definitely fought him very excitingly, unlike you, who was so one-sided." Nangong Ba said sarcastically.
Nangong Ao was speechless again, thinking to himself, are you still my brother? Why do you always criticize me?
"Okay, okay, my brother is not from the Nangong family after all, and is not suitable to stay in the inner clan for a long time. I will take her back to the outer clan first. If you want to fight or exchange skills, we can talk about it later." After Ye Ninglu finished speaking, she grabbed Ye Liuyun's hand and pulled her away, not giving the girls any chance at all.
"Hey, sister-in-law." Nangong Ya stamped her feet anxiously when she saw Ye Ninglu taking Ye Liuyun away.
"Brother, look, sister-in-law, please find a way to give me and Brother Yun a chance to be alone together." Nangong Ya said anxiously while holding Nangong Hui's hand.
But Nangong Hui sighed heavily. It was not that he didn't want to help. If Ye Liuyun was really a man, he wouldn't mind bringing them together.
But the problem is that he now knows that Ye Liuyun is a woman, so there is no way he would push his sister into the fire pit.
This kind of impossible relationship should naturally be severed if possible.
"He is not suitable for you, don't think too much about it." Nangong Hui shook his head, then pulled his hand away and chased after him.
Nangong Ba and Nangong Ao were stunned for a moment when they heard what their eldest brother said, and then hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother, wait for us." The two guys thought Ye Liuyun was very interesting and wanted to deepen their relationship.
As for Nangong Ya, he looked confused as to why his elder brother would say that.
"Inappropriate? Why? Damn it, I want to find my mother." Nangong Ya was unhappy and went straight to find her Shang Haihui.
Let’s take a look at Patriarch Nangong and his group. The high-level members of the Nangong family are having a meeting.
"What do you think of this little guy?" Patriarch Nangong asked with a smile while sitting in the first seat.
"It's hard to see through him. He seems to have a secret. But considering his relationship with Saint Mu Yun and Lin Aoxue, I think it's worth our Nangong family to further win him over. I think we can do our best to help the Ye family and the Li family." An elder said.
"Yes, the Li family has controlled the Tang Kingdom intermittently for thousands of years. That's enough. It's time for our family to get a piece of the pie." Another elder also said.
Having said that, almost no one present had any objection. They were discussing whether to further cooperate with the Ye and Lin families.
Before, they just regarded the Ye family as a knife to attack the Li Dynasty.
"Eh? Patriarch, I think we should still wait for news from the holy land. Only when our ancestors give the order and ask us to help the Lin and Ye families with all our strength, can we take action." Nangong Lingtian expressed his opinion.
This is his safe approach. He will help, but he cannot help too obviously. How are they currently helping the Lin and Ye families deal with the imperial court? The answer is very simple. They support the Li family princes in various places, let them kill each other, and reduce the power of the Li family in the secular world.
Without orders, it is impossible for the imperial monastic institutions to help the secular court deal with these vassal kings, because so far, it can only be regarded as a conflict within the Li family.
"What Ling Tian said makes sense. However, we need to win over this kid. I suggest that our family should get closer to this kid. Ling Tian, among your daughters, Nangong Ya should be the most suitable. Find a way to bring her together with the kid from the Ye family. If necessary, you can use extraordinary measures." Nangong Zheng said.
Nangong Zheng had no objection to this. He already had this idea in mind. If Ye Liuyun could be his son-in-law, it would be the perfect choice.
"I understand. I'll arrange it right away. However, I always feel that Ninglu doesn't seem to want her brother to have contact with the children of our Nangong family." Nangong Lingtian suddenly said.
This is interesting.
"This is impossible? This is obviously a good thing, she should help to bring them together? Why doesn't she agree?" An elder of the clan couldn't understand.
It’s not that the descendants of their Nangong family are unworthy of Ye Liuyun. At least from their point of view, the Ye family is still marrying up.
You know, their Nangong family is an immortal family in the Tang Kingdom.
"Eh? I don't quite understand this question. Of course, it doesn't matter whether she agrees or not. After all, it's not up to her, a junior, to decide what our Nangong family should do." Nangong Lingtian said.
Look again, Ye Liuyun, she and Ye Ninglu have returned to the foreign tribe.
"Sister, it's almost time. I'm ready to leave too. I plan to travel around the Tang Kingdom and visit my other two sisters, father, mother, and grandfather." As soon as Ye Liuyun returned to the foreign tribe, he planned to leave.
The Nangong family gave her a feeling of being in a place of trouble. If she stayed here, she would get into trouble.
"Eh? This, hey! Well, to be honest, if you were still a man, I would love to let the Nangong family introduce you to some outstanding women. After all, you are the only heir of our Ye family. Even if it might make Aoxue unhappy, I will do this."
"But if your family forces more women into your life now, it will be an unsolvable problem." Ye Ninglu said with a wry smile.
Ye Liuyun also looked helpless.
"Sister, don't worry. Our Ye family's inheritance will not be broken. Don't think too much. I will stay with you for one more day today and I will leave tomorrow." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Ye Ninglu nodded, and at this time Nangong Hui also came.
"Oh, you are so awesome. You defeated my two younger brothers by yourself. But I don't know how they would feel if they knew that you are a woman." Nangong Hui said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun was unhappy with this sentence.
"What's wrong? Do you look down on women? Really, ever since I became a woman, I have come to understand the difficulties of being a woman. It's so annoying." Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes at Nangong Hui.
"Hey! That's not what I meant. Oh, forget it. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. But Liuyun, I suggest you leave today and don't wait until tomorrow." Nangong Hui's expression suddenly became serious.
Because he had just received a message from Nangong Lingtian, asking him to let Ye Liuyun stay in the Nangong family for as many days as possible, and at the same time find a way to let Ye Liuyun have more contact with Nangong Ya.
Based on Nangong Hui's understanding of the Nangong family, they always put profit first in everything they do, and have instilled in their children the idea that family interests are paramount since childhood.
To be honest, because Nangong Hui was arranged to marry Ye Ninglu when he was a teenager, he had always been outside and had not absorbed much of his family's family ideology. He did not quite approve of the family's practice of treating its members as tools.
He was quite disgusted, so even if Ye Liuyun was a man, he would first ask Ye Liuyun's wishes and would not force it.
But it is not certain about their elders. They might use some despicable means to force Ye Liuyun and Nangong Ya to get together. By then, Ye Liuyun's identity would definitely not be able to be concealed.
It would not only fail to make the two families closer, but might even damage the relationship between the two families, which was not what he wanted to see.
"Ah? Why? What is the family going to do again?" Ye Ninglu immediately became alert.
Nangong Hui nodded helplessly, and then told Ye Ninglu and Ye Liuyun what the family asked him to do.
After listening to this, Ye Liuyun looked helpless.
"Well, then I really have to leave quickly." Ye Liuyun looked at his sister with a sad face.
She was a little disappointed that they had to leave after only one day together.
Ye Ninglu also sighed heavily.
"Liuyun, go quickly. Sister won't keep you here." Ye Ninglu grabbed Ye Liuyun's hand and said reluctantly.
After this departure, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Ye Liuyun sighed heavily, then stood up.
“In that case, I can only go first. Brother-in-law, you Nangong family please don’t bully my eldest sister. If I knew that you bullied her, I would not be polite to the Nangong family, even to the Jiutian Holy Land.” Ye Liuyun said.
She had a feeling that since her sister had helped her to avoid so many troubles, the elders of the Nangong family would definitely cause trouble for her.
But as an outsider, she couldn't say much about this kind of trouble, so she could only give a warning.
Of course, this is not a warning, it is just a reminder at most.
Nangong Hui understood what Ye Liuyun meant.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Nangong Hui smiled bitterly. He didn't take Ye Liuyun's words to heart.
As for Ye Liuyun, before she left, she suddenly gave Ye Ninglu a hug.
"Sister, I'm leaving. You keep these things. Sometimes, I think they may be useful to me. But as I said before, keep it a secret." Ye Liuyun gave Ye Ninglu a hug and secretly handed her a storage ring.
Ye Ninglu was stunned, but before she could say anything, Ye Liuyun walked out of Ye Ninglu's residence with a smile, and left with Fan Ling from the side room.
"Hey? Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Ye Liuyun took Fan Ling out and happened to meet the Nangong Ba brothers.
"Haha, second and third brothers, I have something else to do, so I won't stay in your Nangong family any longer. I'll come to your Nangong family again if I have the chance. I'll take my leave first." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
The two men were dumbfounded. They originally thought that Ye Liuyun should stay in the Nangong family for a few more days.
The two were stunned for a moment and then quickly chased after him.
"No, I was wondering what happened to my brother-in-law. Was it because our Nangong family didn't treat him well enough? Why is he leaving so soon?" Nangong Ba asked puzzledly.
"Yeah, why are you leaving so soon? If you feel annoyed that we two are always looking for a fight with you, don't worry, as long as you stay for a few more days, we can stop fighting with you and just casually exchange ideas on cultivation." Nangong Ao also said.
But Ye Liuyun shook his head again.
"I really do have a lot of things to do. I promise that next time we meet, I will definitely meet your combat requirements and will never refuse." Ye Liuyun promised the two.
To be honest, these two people are actually quite interesting. If Ye Liuyun were still a man, he would definitely get along well with them. It's just a pity.
When the two heard Ye Liuyun say this, they stopped trying to stop him.
"This? Oh! Okay, then I won't force you, but next time, you must fight with me." Nangong Ba demanded.
Just like that, Ye Liuyun, accompanied by the Nangong brothers, arrived at the gate of the Nangong family.
"Goodbye." Ye Liuyun said hello and left.

The two of them just watched Ye Liuyun leave, and when Ye Liuyun completely disappeared from their sight, strange looks immediately appeared on their faces.
"This is not normal. He left after only staying for one day, and in such a hurry. Third brother, what do you think is the reason?" Nangong Ba asked with a little confusion.
Although he has a straightforward and honest character, it doesn't mean he is stupid. The fact that Ye Liuyun left in such a hurry clearly showed that there was something wrong.
"I guess, maybe my father and grandfather are up to something?" Nangong Ao guessed.
Nangong Ba thought about it.
"You're right, there is such a possibility. I guess the family has taken a fancy to this boy. Look at how many girls were called here yesterday. And just now, Xiaoya looked very interested in him." Nangong Ba said in a low voice.
Nangong Ao felt that it was very likely, but this was not something that the younger generations like them could say anything about. Anyway, Ye Liuyun was gone, so even if the family still had any ideas, they would have to give up.
Sure enough, not long after Ye Liuyun left, Nangong Ya came again. She came here with the consent of her mother and father.
"Sister-in-law, brother, where is Brother Yun? Mother and father told me to go and keep Brother Yun company while he's visiting our house." Nangong Ya jumped and skipped happily to the residence of Nangong Hui and Ye Ninglu.
Ye Ninglu was already somewhat unhappy. She felt that it was the Nangong family who forced her brother away. Otherwise, they could have stayed together for some more time.
So when he saw Nangong Ya coming over, he said something unpleasantly.
