Chu Yang absolutely disagreed with what Han Xiaoran had said.
Celebrating a sixtieth birthday in such a manner was undoubtedly making a mountain out of a molehill; there was no doubt about that. However, with Diwu Qingrou organizing it, it was certainly extraordinary.
As for Han Xiaoran's claim that Diwu Qingrou was just flattering someone...
Chu Yang was even less inclined to agree.
It was understandable if Han Xiaoran had never heard of Diwu Qingrou or didn't understand her; saying such a thing was excusable. But if Chu Yang genuinely thought that way, it would simply be foolish.
If Han Xiaoran knew the true power of Diwu Qingrou, he wouldn't dare to say such things, even if he were beaten to death.
There are some people who, regardless of their martial prowess, can thrive anywhere.
No matter how vast the world is, they can always roam freely.
Diwu Qingrou was undoubtedly one of those people. A person like Diwu Qingrou would absolutely not flatter others in such a way. Even if others flattered her, she would not agree.
Chu Yang was also that kind of person.
Thus, Diwu Qingrou understood Chu Yang, just as Chu Yang understood Diwu Qingrou.
In that case, what did this mean?
Listening to the cries of the members of the Fifth Family coming from all directions, Chu Yang furrowed his brows and began to form a clear line of thought in his mind.
Could it be that Diwu Qingrou was trying to convey a message to me?
But what kind of message was it?
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sixtieth birthday. Fifth Qinkuang, Diwu Qingrou. Setting the stage for a show... with Diwu Qingrou funding it entirely?
Chu Yang contemplated and made the first assumption: if my previous guess was correct! Then, the Ye Family and others were incited by Diwu Qingrou to seize the Holy Clan Elder...
Confirming this matter first.
In that case, as long as Diwu Qingrou knew he was here, she would undoubtedly pay close attention to him.
Thus, Diwu Qingrou must have known about his actions over this period through various channels.
If that was the case, she could guess what he was doing.
So Diwu Qingrou would certainly cooperate fully, providing support and even adding to his original plans.
Because Diwu Qingrou knew that while others might not be able to do it, Chu Yang surely could.
Thus, today’s scene was created.
This scene was telling him: I've already planned everything. I’m just waiting for you to take the stage.
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Before that day, everything should be ready, just waiting for a spark. And Diwu Qingrou had set up the stage. That day, the Fifth Family would invite a theater troupe to perform, meaning that she would just watch.
He would be the one performing.
The sixtieth birthday celebration should not add the phrase "all good fortune." Although it was a good saying, adding it here would seem very disrespectful.
Thus, it must have another meaning.
And there was the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in front... its meaning should be saying: among the nine great clans, currently, six families have confirmed their entry into this vortex!
As long as he ignited this fire, it would provoke a battle among the six great families.
Chu Yang's gaze flickered... and he quickened his pace.
In that case, if you, Diwu Qingrou, want to watch the show, then I will give you a good performance to showcase my strength!
Don't think just because you, Diwu Qingrou, are orchestrating everything, that you're so impressive...
Recalling the package of medicine in his nine calamity void and thinking about how Lan was urging him with an expression of longing and impatience, Chu Yang couldn't help but curve his lips downward.
Let it get chaotic... that’s fine.
"This Fifth Family should be a subsidiary family of the Zhuge Family..." Han Xiaoran said inexplicably.
"Mm." Chu Yang replied softly.
"Doing such things is too disgraceful for the Zhuge Family." Han Xiaoran, in a good mood today, laughed and said, "If I were Zhuge Shanyun, I would have given him a good beating... simply a nouveau riche to the extreme."
