The Disciple Reward System
Chapter 45: The Dilemma

Over the past two days, Ye Xuan visited every corner of Jiangqing City.

By posing as a customer in a teahouse, or an ordinary person in the market, he had already quite grasped the situation in Jiangqing City.

There were three large families in the city, namely the Li family, the Chen family, and the Zhu Family, respectively,

Among these three great families, the Li family was the most powerful. Even if the Chen family and the Zhu family collaborated, they could barely fight against the Li family.

The most important reason behind this was that the head of the Li family, Li Zhengyang, had reached the seventh level purple spirit realm.

Instead, the heads of the Chen and Zhu families had only reached the sixth level of the purple spirit realm!

As everyone knew, once a cultivator entered the purple spirit realm, the distance between each of the small realms was enormous. Although it was not exaggerated like the realm of core formations, it was not something that low-level cultivators could handle.

Under normal circumstances, two level six purple spirit realm cultivators working together would barely be able to fight a level seven purple spirit realm cultivator. Moreover, Li Zhengyang had reached the peak of the seventh level.

It was because of this that the Li family had become the strongest family in Jiangqing City.

However, Li Zhengyang had been besieged by his enemy and was seriously injured. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity for the Chen and Zhu families to deal with him.

The two families had planned to join forces and instantly eliminate the Li family.

However, at the critical moment, no one expected that the young master of the Chen family, Chen Ping, had actually managed to join the Mad Saber sect and become the sect head's personal disciple.

Now that they had core formation realm cultivators as their backers, there was no longer any reason for the Chen family to join the Zhu family.

......

They decisively left the Zhu family and planned to use the strength of the Mad Saber sect to directly eliminate the Zhu and Li families, thus becoming the strongest family in Jiangqing City.

Faced with extremely strong core formation realm cultivators, what awaited the Li and Zhu families was destruction.

There were rumors that the sect master Mad Saber would arrive in Jiangqing City in two days.

“OK, now that I know the basic situation, it's time to visit the Li family!”

Ye Xuan slowly put down her wine cup, after which her figure suddenly disappeared from the restaurant without even causing the slightest movement.

"Young Master Ye, the boiled beef you ordered is here!"

"Eh, why don't I see anyone here?"

By the time the servant brought boiled beef made from a second-rate demonic beast, Red Bull, Ye Xuan had already disappeared.

“You are very generous, Young Master. Please come again next time!”

The waiter looked at the bright gold coins on the table and could not help but smile. He immediately expressed his gratitude with an apologetic smile.

For this Young Master Ye to be able to leave the sealed room without making a sound, he had to become a strong cultivator.

During these two days, not only had Ye Xuan known the situation in Jiangqing City, but she had also gained a good understanding of Li Qingyan's character.

Although the Li family was the strongest family in Jiangqing City, their reputation was excellent. They do not bully others with their power. Instead, they treat others with respect.

In addition, they also set up a place to provide welfare assistance to people in need. This place was under Li Qingyan's management.

Although many cultivators praised Li Qingyan's character, they couldn't change the fate of the Li family. Thus, they could only sigh in their hearts.

In Ye Xuan's eyes, kindness and talent were not the most important things when it came to accepting disciples. The most important thing is loyalty.

He hates the most capricious and ungrateful people. After all, in exchange for system feedback, he was not the only beneficiary. His students would also receive great benefits.

…

Jiangqing City, the Li family residence.

In the Li family hall.

“Now there is only one way out for us! Why are you still hesitating?”

“I also don't want to sacrifice Qingyan's happiness, but for the sake of the thousands of people in our Li family, and the future of the Li family, we have to marry Qingyan to Chen Ping!”

"Head of the family, why are you still in doubt?"

The gaze of the first elder was fixed on Li Zhengyang.

"I naturally know this!" Li Zhengyang, who was sitting in the leading position in the hall, looked extremely pale, and his aura was extremely weak.

However, he still raised his head and interrupted the words of the Great Elder.

“As for the survival of the Li family, I have my own considerations. Everyone, stop discussing this matter further. Everyone can go!”

Li Zhengyang raised his head and looked at the elders as he said those words.

“Head of family, we don't have much time left. You mustn't be cold-headed!

Before he left, the first elder looked at Li Zhengyang meaningfully.

As Li Zhengyang heard this, he narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.

When the first elder saw this, he could not help but stop. He sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

He naturally knew that this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Li family. Even if they could ensure the Li family's survival through marriage, the Li family would not be able to raise their heads in front of others in the future.

But they have no other choice? Were they really going to watch thousands of Li family members die in vain?

The strong preyed on the weak in the Tianyuan continent. The fights between the big families were cruel. No one will pity you just because you are weak.

The more cruel you are, the weaker you are, the more people want to bully you.

The Li family was indeed very strong before, but with Li Zhengyang severely injured and Chen Ping joining the Mad Saber sect, the situation around the Li family now was dire.

The Chen family's wild ambitions had been fully revealed. It was clear that they wanted to use the strength of the Mad Saber sect to eliminate the Li family completely.

Previously, these two families were often in conflict. Although the Li family was very strong, they were unable to fully suppress the Chen family.

Especially since the Li family was too powerful, the Chen family and the Zhu family usually formed an alliance. Therefore, they could do nothing against the two.

However, as time passed, the grudges between the Chen family and the Li family piled up!

Now that the Chen family had core formation realm cultivators as their backers, it was impossible for them to be lenient towards the Li Family.

The Li Family only had two options left.

First, the Li family could leave Jiangqing City.

However, the Li family had been entrenched in Jiangqing City for hundreds of years, and their family properties and assets were all in Jiangqing City. How could they bear to move from Jiangqing City so easily?

Moreover, if the Li family really wanted to leave Jiangqing City, the Chen family would not let them leave so easily.

Most importantly, how could the rulers and families in other cities allow the Li family to move?
