Yoke! Yoke! Yoke!
Yan Xu's index finger continued to knock on the wooden table that was in front of him. Her beautiful eyelid gazes continued to trace the faces of both father and son. If anyone saw this, they could have misjudged that Yan Xu was a criminal!
He restarted their conversation with his deep flat voice, "So, what do you want to talk about after the Jiang family's resolution banquet ends?"
Glucose!
Jian Nan felt the air pressure in the surroundings turn cold, he even found it difficult to gulp. Standing up from his seat, Jiang Nan cupped his hands together while bowing.
"Our ancestor, Jiang Nan had a request. Please Ancestor listen to this request even if it sounds insolent."
"Dad?"
Seeing his father until so, made Jiang Nalan widen his eyes in disbelief. An old man who had always stood tall and led them all, now looked like a withered old man and was easily buffeted by the storm before the Ancestor.
Yan Xu who did not care much said, "Say."
After being given permission to speak, Jiang Nan straightened her body with a serious expression she said, "Please bring Jiang Nalan along with some talents as well as loyal subordinates of the Jiang family in your return."
Yan Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "The reason?"
Jiang Nan gulped once and immediately replied, "The resolution suggested by the Ancestor is indeed correct, but we are only mortal humans who can be hit by a storm anytime anywhere during this lifetime."
"I, as the head of the family, can't continue to utilize the kindness of the Ancestors. If this continues, I do not know how to deal with our predecessors when they have been swallowed by the earth."
"So, Ancestor, I beg to bring those who are talented to stand in your shade. The Jiang family does look safe at the moment, but there is still the possibility of the three princes in the coalition destroying us when it is considered too big."
Thump!
After saying his plea, Jiang Nan kowtowed to the floor, "Please consider my brazen plea, Ancestor!"
After listening to Jiang Nan's request for excuses, Yan Xu and Lan Xihe were completely familiar with what was on his mind. The current Jiang family was just like hot fries, many parties would try to make them as their support.
The hotter the fries, the more the enthusiasts with various types of methods to get them. Moving their talented direct bloodline in order to break into the Wind Peak was one of the safest measures.
Although at the Peak of Wind they would be cut off from the secular world, the security as well as the Jiang family's direct lineage could still be maintained. It was also a great advantage for Peak Wind in meeting some workers on their administrative field.
Actually, Yan Xu had been thinking about this for a long time. However, considering how the other party was going to act, he unbundled the intention to advance the plan and waited for the Jiang family to slowly disintegrate.
Now, it was unexpected that they themselves would give themselves up.
Right now he could not decide because the absolute decision was in the hands of his beloved wife, Lan Xihe.
Yan Xu glanced at Lan Xihe as if saying, 'My wife! My love! It's time for you to do your job for the benefit of our Wind Peak!~♪'
Sensing the loud glances from her husband, Lan Xihe smiled wryly inwardly. He cleared his throat once, then said, "My husband, may I speak as the Peak Wind Chief here?"
Hearing that question, neither Jiang Nan nor Jiang Nalan gasped in shock. They had not expected that the Ancestor's wife was the Head of the Peak itself!
Yan Xu's flat answer immediately came, "Please."
Lan Xihe who from earlier was just silent, was finally able to speak.
"Entering the Peak of Wind is not as easy as you implanting a baby branch on your wife. We have strict rules and qualifications based on my judgment."
He naturally exerted authority pressure on Jiang Nan who looked careless based on his previous plea. It was a natural thing because a Peak Head also had to be disciplined against the minimum qualification limit he wanted against a potential new member.
Both Jiang Nan and Jiang Nalan kept a calm expression on the outside, even though they were already quite depressed at the deepest part. Meanwhile, Yan Xu was already clapping loudly while praising the aura of the Peak Chief belonging to his wife.
"Are you able to meet my strict requirements?" lan Xihe said in a firm voice.
"We will do our best to meet these requirements."
"Well, first of all ..." Lan Xihe directed her gaze at Jiang Nalan then measured the girl's potential using the help of the system.

...----------••••---------...
He nodded in satisfaction a few times and said, "You can join."
Hearing that, Jiang Nalan gasped to the point of being speechless and simply stayed in place. Jiang Nan immediately pinched her daughter's hand gently to do some respect towards the Peak Chief for fear of being considered an act of disrespect.
Jiang Nalan who returned to reality, hurriedly gave a formal salute, "Jiang Nalan greeted Head Peak."
Lan Xihe simply nodded in response and Jiang Nalan again sat sweetly next to his father.
"What about the others?" lan Xihe asked a little showing interest.
"I'll bring them soon!"
After saying that, Jiang Nan immediately saluted and left the three of them behind.
...
There were currently only three people who were in the main hall.
Jiang Nalan looked hesitant for a moment, when he wanted to open his mouth, he came to a halt because Lan Xihe's soft voice came first.
"Since you've joined, there's no need to be too polite. We are all family and take care of each other" Lan Xihe said with a warm smile.
Jiang Nalan nodded obediently then said, "Head of Peak, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, just ask what you want to know! I'll answer it!" Lan Xihe tapped on the chest with a small fist of her hand.
Jiang Nalan looked to the left and right first then continued, "Are you really a married couple?"
Lan Xihe immediately replied, "Of course! My husband currently has six wives!"
Brusshhhhhhh!
"Uhukk!!! Uhuukk!!!"
Yan Xu who was drinking, immediately vomited a mouthful of water to the side. However, he soon recovered and assumed that it was just a joke.
On the contrary, to Jiang Nalan it was a reality. In both eyes of the girl were some unexplained twists of light.
Lan Xihe who saw that, smiled gently and moved beside Jiang Nalan using a soul pursuit technique.
He started whispering the words of the demon that he had always used to play all the members of the Peak Wind girl. From time to time, Jiang Nalan's face began to turn red and there was smoke coming out on top of his head.
The accustomed Yan Xu could only smile wryly as if saying, 'He started again ....'
Lan Xihe's demonic whisper sermon lasted at least ten minutes more until Jiang Nan finally brought the remaining members.
"Head of the Peak, I've brought them," Jiang Nan said as he cupped his hands together.
All the people he was carrying started kneeling on one leg and cupping his hands each giving a simultaneous greeting.
"We greet the Head of the Peak!"
Lan Xihe did not immediately answer their respectful greetings. Her two beautiful eyeball gazes swept over at least thirty people who were kneeling. He judged everyone one by one, while thinking about each task and where they would be placed.
