286: Planning

"Old Man Su, to be honest, the Nangong Family has always wanted to be the hegemon of Yunzhou. It's true we have this ambition, but we've never had the strength for it," Nangong Yue smiled. "If the Nangong Family had some experts holding the fort, let alone Yunzhou City, even the three nearby cities of Jiangnan would be in our pockets."

"It's a pity that the Nangong Family lacks the strength; such things can only be seen in dreams."

Nangong Yue picked up the teacup in front of him, pinching it with an orchid finger, and took a sip of tea.

However, the tea had just been poured and was still quite hot.

Nangong Yue was scalded by the steam, so he directly threw the cup to the ground. "Oh my, this tea is so hot, it burned me!"

Seeing this, Old Man Su managed to hold back. This damn transvestite was so flamboyant and coquettish.

If this guy weren't a Young Master of the Nangong Family, Old Man Su would definitely have taught him a good lesson; the man just now lacked any masculine vigor.

What kind of man is this? He'd be better off as a woman!

"Kid, you just got burned by water? Is it really that big of a deal?" Old Man Su looked at him with disgust; right now, he just wanted to stay as far away from Nangong Yue as possible.

However, the Tang Family had already assigned the seats, and if he left now, Old Man Su really had nowhere to go.

Old Man Su shot Nangong Yue a cold glance, then turned his head away.

"Old Man Su, what kind of talk is that? I've been burned, it hurts so much, and you don't even feel bad for me, instead, you make sarcastic remarks. If you keep this up, I'll be angry." Nangong Yue huffed.

If Nangong Yue weren't a man, Old Man Su wouldn't have said anything more.

But as a dignified man, Nangong Yue insisted on wearing rouge on his face and even mimicked a girl's coquettish huff.

Seeing this, Old Man Su had only two words in his heart: Disgusting.

"Alright, alright, stop talking and get lost. I, this old man, have no interest in you." Old Man Su snorted coldly and turned his face away.

"Tch, Old Man Su, you really don't understand romance. I'm so good, there are plenty of people I don't even look at." Nangong Yue put on a nauseating expression and rolled his eyes at Old Man Su.

Seeing this, Old Man Su didn't take it to heart. After all, who would argue with a transvestite?

The two remained silent for a long while. Finally, Nangong Yue couldn't hold it in any longer and turned back to look at Old Man Su.

"Old Man Su, you still haven't responded to what I just said. Tell me, what exactly is going on?" Nangong Yue raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "What do you think about this Tang Family?"

"Perhaps the Su Family has had a plan all along? I personally think that the Su Family has money; with money, are you afraid of not being able to recruit experts?"

"As long as you have experts holding the fort, the Su Family's strength would be absolutely incredible." Nangong Yue smiled slightly, voicing his thoughts.

Of course, this was Nangong Yue's true purpose. The Nangong Family's strength was not strong; although they could rank in Yunzhou, in the eyes of truly great families, they were not worth mentioning.

But the Su Family was different. The Su Family had its own industries, and these days, as long as you have money, there will be people willing to sell their lives for you. The Su Family had exactly this condition, which was exactly what Nangong Yue wanted.

"What? You have some ideas?" Old Man Su turned back, feeling curious and wanting to know what exactly Nangong Yue was up to.

"I've always had ideas, but I lack the strength, so I need a powerful ally. Only then can I get what I want." Nangong Yue's face darkened. After saying this, he looked up at Tang Eleven and Tang Ru on the high platform.

Nangong Yue's face was gloomy; although Old Man Su didn't want to look at that disgusting face, he still turned back. A cold glint flashed in Old Man Su's eyes, and he, too, had an idea at this moment.

The Tang Family had been the hegemon of Yunzhou City for too long. Now, with the Old Master Tang nowhere to be found, this was a perfect opportunity. In this world, who would be willing to always be second?

"What do you want to do?" Old Man Su was even more curious; those words had stirred the thoughts in his heart.

"Old Man Su, come closer." Nangong Yue was very careful; he first looked up and scanned the surroundings. Finding that there was no one else around, Nangong Yue leaned in to speak. Nangong Yue was very cautious, appearing extremely prudent.

In fact, Nangong Yue had long had a plan, but he had never been able to implement it. After all, there were too many people here; if the news leaked, it would be bad, and it might even bring trouble to the Nangong Family. This was something Nangong Yue did not want to see.

"Are you going to say it or not?" Old Man Su was becoming impatient; he had been waiting for a long time.

"It's like this, Old Man Su..." Nangong Yue leaned in and spoke.

After hearing this, Old Man Su gasped, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, Old Man Su's face darkened, and he pondered for a long time.

In truth, such a matter carried risks. Not to mention the Tang Family, if Mulan Manor found an opportunity and attacked Yunzhou City directly, then at that time, all the major forces in Yunzhou City would suffer losses, and they would truly have no power to resist the powerful Mulan Manor.

"Old Man Su, what do you think?" Nangong Yue stepped forward and leaned in beside Old Man Su. Faced with the question, Old Man Su slowly raised his head, picked up a teacup, and took a gentle sip of tea.

In fact, Old Man Su was very conflicted at this moment; he had no other choice. Of course, Old Man Su could not suppress the fire in his heart; no one wanted to be second forever.

"I need to think carefully about this matter; let's not talk about it today." Old Man Su brushed him off casually; he had to think it through. If he were careless, he might drag the entire Su Family down with him.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue was displeased; his gaze narrowed as he stared fixedly at Old Man Su. "Old Man Su, what do you mean by this? Is my proposal not good? Or is it that this is simply not what you were thinking about?" Nangong Yue's face darkened, and he revealed a serious expression.

In fact, this made Old Man Su even more conflicted; this was not something he wanted to do in the first place. However, if Nangong Yue threatened him like this, it would make things even more awkward for Old Man Su. Of course, this was not the result Nangong Yue wanted either; he certainly did not hope for such an outcome.

"I've said it already, this matter is quite significant, and I want to think about it carefully. Do you understand?" Old Man Su's face darkened, and his whole body was filled with Evil Qi. In this situation, Nangong Yue had no other choice.
