Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 290 Is your knife sharp enough?

Outside the door, on the table, Sima Kong held a fan and fanned himself slightly. After a moment, he stood up and said to the person next to him, "I'll be leaving now!"

"Mr. Sima, won't you stay a little longer?" an old man from the Ye family hurriedly said.

Sima Kong said with a smile, "The play is over, the gifts have been given, and it's time to leave."

"Then let me see you off?" someone quickly stood up and said.

"No need!" Sima Kong waved his hand.

Then he got up and walked outside.

After walking for a while, he took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it. Soon after, the call was answered, and a voice rang out from the other end: "You old codger, spit it out!"

"The fact that the Ye family joined Dawn is related to you, isn't it?" Sima Kong said.

An aged voice rang out from the other end of the phone: "What are you talking about? What dawn!"

"Stop pretending!" Sima Kong said speechlessly, "Dawn was founded by Ye Tianyang, you and I both know that. Now it's in his son's hands, and you're recruiting soldiers for him, aren't you!"

"None of your business!" came the voice from the other end of the phone. "If you hadn't made a mistake back then, things wouldn't have come to this. Your methods are no longer effective. If this continues, it's not just a matter of the inescapable net falling apart; the world will descend into chaos!"

"So... this was tacitly approved by Yi Shuihan?" Sima Kong said again, "He wants to use that brat Ye Qing's hand, and the power of your Mangshan, to wipe out those people? Old man Zhuge, have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

"Don't worry about the consequences!" Old Man Zhuge said, "I don't deny that your choice back then was not wrong. At that time, you lost Ye Tianyang, but you stabilized the situation of Tianluodiwang. However, times have changed. Your choice at that time may have been right, but looking back now, it has planted a huge landmine."

"Old man Sima!" The voice on the phone said, "Just take care of Yi Shuihan's matter. Don't worry about anything else. This time... leave it to me and Yi Shuihan. We'll handle everything!"

Sima Kong's eyes became somewhat empty, and then he said, "Do you hate me? If it weren't for my choice back then, Ye Tianyang and Po Xiao would not have left Tianluodiwang. If I hadn't stopped you three years ago, you would have avenged your disciple."

“I have never hated you!” The voice on the other end of the phone became unusually serious as it said, “You made the decision, but I acquiesced to it. I still think there is nothing wrong with your decision. But now, things are different. My apprentice will change all of this. I will leave the world’s affairs to him to stir up trouble.”

"Is your knife sharp enough?" Sima Kong asked after pondering for a long time.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before he said, "Whether it's profitable or not, just look at how many people he took care of along the way from Jiangcheng to Yanjing, and you'll understand."

"Was this all orchestrated by you and Yi Shuihan? You kept it from me, starting eight years ago, from Ye Tianyang... from when this kid went up Mangshan?" Sima Kong asked.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, someone said, "You're overthinking it. We don't have your kind of conspiracy theories. Stop thinking nonsense. Keep Ye Qing calm. The future inescapable trap will still require your brains!"

Sima Kong remained silent.

He hung up the phone, then looked up at the somewhat glaring sun and said, "Hey, those two old guys, they're looking down on me!"

He silently shook his head.

……

On the other side, inside the room, after listening to Ye Qing's words, Ye Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Protecting oneself is a last resort. If you want to sweep away this filth, I... am even more determined to join Dawn!"

"Alright!" Ye Qing took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Then Dawn welcomes the Ye family to join us!"

Beside Ye Liang, the old man smiled slightly, opened his mouth to reveal his few remaining yellow teeth, and said, "Good! Good! Good!"

He spoke each word with great difficulty, and Ye Qing was afraid that if he uttered another word, he would pass away.

"What do we need to do after we join Dawn?" Ye Liang asked.

At this moment, Ye Qing was overjoyed.

In the few days since arriving in Yanjing, he has confirmed many things and realized just how troublesome the people he is dealing with really are.

The Su family, the Tang family, and the Heavenly Net are all working together, with Brahma and Killing Star lurking in the shadows!

They will form a siege against themselves.

Although he had Dawn's help, Ye Qing vaguely felt that it was still not enough!

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Liang and Li Yuhuan and said, "I actually hope that your two families will go and talk to the Chu family. It would be best if the three families joined forces and then find a way to suppress the businesses of the Su family and the Tang family, and launch a major business war!"

Li Yuhuan's expression shifted, and she said, "You want them to give themselves away?"

“Yes! If these people get anxious, they will definitely reveal their weakness in cooperating with Killer Star!” Ye Qing nodded and said, “In fact, I have already obtained some leverage over the Tang family. I’m just waiting for the interrogation results. Once the results are out, I will take action against the Tang family and even the Tang Clan.”

"According to the information I have, the Su family, Yun Tianluo and Chen Tianyao of the Yanjing Tianluo Diwang, and the Tang family are all in cahoots," Ye Qing said. "These are the people we need to deal with in Yanjing on the surface!"

"And in the shadows, there are still Killing Stars!" Ye Qing said, "In the coming time, we need to capture some of Killing Stars' people, follow the clues, and uproot the entire Killing Stars organization."

“Besides these four factions, there are also people from Brahma, but this force is very well hidden, so we won’t consider it for now!” Ye Qing said.

“No problem!” Li Yuhuan said, “Patriarch Ye and I will go to the Chu family later, and we will have a detailed plan within two days!”

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

Beside her, Lin Qianyu looked at Ye Qing with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

This was the first time she had seen Ye Qing giving orders. These top figures in Yanjing all obeyed Ye Qing's every command.

But then, her brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of tension welled up inside her.
