Hearing this, Ye Fei gave a slight nod.
With a reach into the air, the letter in Lu Houde’s hand was imdiately sucked over.
Under everyone’s gaze, he opened the letter and quickly scanned through it.
The handwriting was indeed beautiful, but the content was rather dull.
It was nothing more than so flattering and sycophantic words, acknowledging the shift of power in Yan Yun State after Fire Burn Island changed hands and hoping for a harmonious coexistence – all empty talk.
However, one sentence, "To show our sincerity, we are sending a cash cheque worth one billion," caught Ye Fei’s attention.
He shook the envelope and, not expecting it, actually pulled out a cash cheque worth ten billion.
Seeing this, Ye Fei looked up and smiled indifferently.
"Quite the generous gesture!"
"These people are clever!" He Xuan, seated on the side, laughed, "They only recognize power and also want to protect their current vested interests."
"No matter what they think," Ye Fei put away the cash cheque and looked up at the few people present, "now that everything on the island has been accounted for, what do you plan to do next?"
As soon as these words ca out, everyone looked at each other.
It was a while before He Xuan looked at Ye Fei.
"Big Brother Ye, I’ve talked over the phone with a few elders from Tianhai Sect, and also discussed with Muxue Venerate and Island Master Situ."
"Right now, whether it’s Pangu Sect or Tianhai Sect, both have been greatly weakened and aren’t as strong as before!"
"What’s more, your character and strength have been witnessed by all of us."
"So, the unanimous opinion is that, while retaining the nas of Pangu Sect and Tianhai Sect, we should form an alliance. Brother Ye, you would oversee it all, regulating both our sects as one."
"Yes!" Muxue Venerate nodded eagerly, "With Ye God here, our alliance will surely develop steadily and get on the right track."
Hearing this, Ye Fei smiled indifferently, "You flatter too much. Compared to Yan Yun State and you all, I, Ye Fei, am but a passerby."
With that, Ye Fei slowly stood up and strolled with his hands behind his back, under everyone’s watchful eyes.
"But your idea isn’t bad. Forming an alliance, banding together for warmth, to confront other rising forces in Yan Yun State."
"That would be a good result, not only for you but also for the tens of millions of people in Yan Yun State."
"However, I will not..."
"Ye God!" Muxue Venerate suddenly interrupted Ye Fei, "We know you have other important matters, but the position of the alliance leader is perfect for you, and no one else can command everyone’s respect."
"Yes!" He Xuan also looked at Ye Fei, "Big Brother Ye, you can go and attend to your business, but the leadership of this alliance must be yours."
"As for whom you want to appoint to exercise the rights of the alliance leader, both Muxue Venerate and Island Master Situ will absolutely obey!"
Seeing their determination, Ye Fei sighed lightly and nodded.
"Alright, since you all insist, I won’t decline further. Let’s consider it a gesture of our acquaintance."
"Let’s do this!" Ye Fei looked at He Xuan and Muxue Venerate, "You start planning the alliance. Once I return, I’ll send soone to liaise with you!"
After hearing this, He Xuan and Muxue Venerate looked at each other and then nodded in unison.
"If there’s nothing else," Ye Fei said with a smile, "then it’s about ti I left."
With that, he flashed Muxue Venerate and He Xuan a mysterious smile.
"I only asked my wife for half a month’s leave, and that’s almost over. I miss her and my daughter!"
The words caught Muxue Venerate and He Xuan off guard.
After a mont, Muxue Venerate hastily spoke up.
"There’s one more thing—the island’s treasures, how should we handle them?"
"That’s your business," Ye Fei said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "I’m only taking so important docunts with !"
With a groan, Muxue Venerate’s face twitched.
"Then let’s use these treasures as the startup capital for our new alliance?"
Ye Fei: "Sure, that works."
"What about Yitian?" Muxue Venerate looked at Ye Fei with complicated eyes, "How should we deal with him?"
"He’s still of so use," Ye Fei shrugged, "Lock him up for now, and I’ll send soone to deal with him later."
"Uh!" Muxue Venerate frowned deeply, her face showing an anxious and reluctant expression, "Then..."
"Don’t be like that," Ye Fei seed to see through her thoughts and sighed, "This isn’t so dramatic parting—you don’t have to keep yourselves confined to Fire Burn Island forever!"
"Once you get the alliance affairs sorted out and on the right track, co to Qingyun State any ti."
"By then, my wife and I will personally cook and welco you!"
Upon hearing this, Muxue Venerate suddenly looked up, staring at Ye Fei with a quiver.
He purposely emphasized the words "my wife," clearly stating his position.
It seed he wasn’t oblivious or unaware; he was rejecting her in the most tactful way possible.
Perhaps! As outstanding as he was, only the most outstanding woman would be his match!
These feelings... It’s best to keep them buried in the heart...
Not to think, not to ask, not to broach the subject—this is the best way to deal with it!
