Chapter 1688: Dream On!

　　Nan Yiyi’s face turned red and white. “You! What nonsense are you talking about!?”

　　Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Did I say something wrong? Didn’t you say that as long as my husband divorced me, you would—could it be that I heard wrongly?”

　　“You! You!” Nan Yiyi was so angry that she almost fainted. How can I let Uncle Luo Yan know about this?

　　In front of him, she had always been obedient. Even though she liked to be willful and coquettish sometimes, she had never said anything inappropriate in front of him, let alone done anything overboard.

　　She knew that although her uncle looked young, he was actually old-fashioned. He was very conservative about many things.

　　Now that Shangguan Yue has exposed this matter in front of him, what should I do in the future?!

　　Sure enough, Luo Yan looked at her with a much colder gaze. “Yiyi, did you really say such a thing?”

　　Nan Yiyi’s heart trembled.

　　She rarely heard Uncle Luo Yan speak to her in such a tone. For a moment, she was worried and afraid, and her heart was really a mess.

　　“I-I didn’t!” Nan Yiyi’s eyes turned red, and she looked aggrieved. “Uncle Luo Yan, you watched me grow up. How could I say such things and do such a thing? Do you want to believe in an outsider instead of me?”

　　Luo Yan’s eyes wavered. What Nan Yiyi said isn’t unreasonable. If the other party really said that on purpose to slander her…

　　He glanced at the people opposite him.

　　Nan Yuxing hurriedly said, “That’s right! Uncle Luo Yan, Yiyi was really wronged! Although she’s usually a little willful, she’s still very principled in many things! She didn’t say those words at all. It’s all fabricated by Shangguan Yue!”

　　Luo Yan looked at Elder Wu Peng and the other elder.

　　From their attitude, it seemed that they had tacitly agreed.

　　The anger in Luo Yan’s heart subsided a little.

　　From the corner of his eyes, he saw Nan Yiyi’s red eyes and nose. His heart ached, and his tone finally softened. “Alright, how can Uncle not believe you? Don’t cry.”

　　Nan Yiyi immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but she still looked aggrieved. “Mother has taught me these principles in the past. Why would I do that? Uncle Luo Yan, you’ve really wronged me.”

　　When Luo Yan heard Nan Yiyi mention her mother, his expression darkened, and he looked at her with more pity.

　　He rubbed Nan Yiyi’s head. “Alright, I’ve wronged you. I’ll definitely stand up for you this time and not let you suffer, okay?”

　　Only then did Nan Yiyi smile through her tears. “I knew Uncle treated me the best!”

　　After saying that, she glanced at Chu Liuyue in a mocking manner. Uncle Luo Yan has doted on her for so many years. How could he side with someone else? Today, I must make Shangguan Yue pay ten times or a hundred times the price!

　　…

　　Stunned, Chu Liuyue almost couldn’t help but applaud. I have never seen anyone dote on a child to this extent. It’s no wonder I keep feeling that Nan Yiyi’s brain is abnormal—the entire Nan family is the same.

　　She instantly lost interest in arguing with them. They are clearly here to cause trouble for me. Whatever the truth is, they obviously don’t care.

　　Sure enough, Luo Yan then said, “Shangguan Yue, no matter what you say now, you can’t change the outcome. If you don’t agree to my suggestion, don’t blame me for being rude!”

　　Is this a direct change of threat?

　　Force surged in Rong Xiu’s palm, and the temperature around him quickly turned cold!

　　Chu Liuyue gently scratched his palm. This isn’t a good time to make a move. Although I’m not afraid, Ancestor is still on the other side of the wall. We still have to focus on more important things.

　　Rong Xiu glanced at her.

　　Chu Liuyue shot him a look.

　　Rong Xiu’s eyes flickered, but in the end, he lowered his eyes to hide the waves in them.

　　…

　　“It’s not impossible for me to agree to this suggestion, but I have my conditions. If you’re willing to agree, everything on my side can be discussed.” Chu Liuyue smiled as she spoke.

　　Luo Yan had thought that she would explode in anger, but he didn’t expect the latter to say such a thing. Shangguan Yue… seems to be different from what I had expected…

　　Luo Yan’s expression turned cold. “Do you think you have the right to say this now?”

　　“Don’t you know best if I’m qualified?” Chu Liuyue chuckled and swept her gaze across Nan Yuxing and the others. It seems that they haven’t told Luo Yan about me killing the black-robed man.

　　Chu Liuyue’s words made the few of them feel inexplicably guilty.

　　Although they didn’t want to admit it, they had to admit that Rong Xiu and Shangguan Yue seemed to really have extraordinary trump cards. If the two sides really fought… the outcome was really unknown, especially since the little girl was behind her.

　　Elder Wu Peng paused and finally took the initiative to speak. “What is your condition?”

　　Luo Yan was even more surprised. Elder Wu Peng has always been arrogant. At this moment, he is actually willing to accept Shangguan Yue’s suggestion? What the hell is—

　　“It’s simple.” Chu Liuyue’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled sincerely. “As long as you find the thing you’re looking for and hand it to me, I can agree to your request. Everyone will be fair—”

　　“You’re dreaming!” Before she could finish, Nan Yiyi suddenly interrupted her. She really dares to think of asking us to exchange that thing!

　　The smile on Chu Liuyue’s face did not change, but her voice turned cold. “I’ll return the same words to you. You want to force me to apologize and beg for mercy—I think you’re dreaming too!”
