Super Gene Hunting Ground

The atmosphere around was very lively.

Many people surrounded Yang Xiao and Yelu Caiyun.

Gao Shengyang noticed his grandson suddenly appearing next to Yang Xiao and looking quite familiar with him, which surprised him.

”Gao Lou, why are you back? You all...?”

Gao Lou laughed and said:

”Grandpa, Yang Xiao is my classmate at the Flying Leopard Academy, he’s also my leader, and my buddy.”

The old man was delighted to hear this and laughed heartily:

”Good, good, so he’s your brother, that’s great!”

Gao Shengyang originally had some worries about how to find an excuse to link himself with Yang Xiao, given that their age difference was so significant, making it hard to connect with this young man.

Now it was great. His grandson Gao Lou was buddies with Yang Xiao, so wasn’t that a connection already?

In Witch Star, forming connections with surrounding Genetic Evolution Experts was a big deal.

Gao Shengyang felt very gratified to discover that his grandson had befriended such a powerful figure like Yang Xiao, repeatedly saying:

”I knew it, the Flying Leopard Academy is a place full of hidden talents, sending Gao Lou there for cultivation was the right choice.”

Yelu Yan and Auntie Hong looked at their daughter Yelu Caiyun and then at Yang Xiao, unsure about what the relationship between the two truly was, and said:

”Caiyun, aren’t you going to introduce Young Master Yang to your father?”

Caiyun smiled gently and said:

”This is Yang Xiao, we met at the Flying Leopard Academy. Yang Xiao, this is my father, and this is my aunt.”

Caiyun very cleverly did not introduce Yang Xiao as her classmate but just said they met at the Flying Leopard Academy, leaving it open for everyone to imagine,

Meeting at the Flying Leopard Academy and then developing into lovers, isn’t that quite normal?

If she introduced him as a classmate, then wouldn’t it just be a simple classmate relationship?

In fact, Yelu Caiyun was also unsure about Yang Xiao’s feelings for her. If Yang Xiao didn’t like her at all, that certainly couldn’t be true. Why else would he travel from so far away to risk his life for someone he didn’t like?

Therefore, Yelu Caiyun left room for Yang Xiao to either advance or retreat when introducing him, leaving everything up to Yang Xiao.

Gao Shengyang, Gao Lou’s father, Yelu Yan, Auntie Hong, and several other family clan leaders of Fei’e City all cupped their fists to Yang Xiao and said:

”Young Master Yang, nice to meet you!”

”Young Master Yang, you are indeed a handsome and powerful young man, a perfect match with Miss Caiyun, a pair made in heaven.”

”Young Master Yang, you’ve rid us of a scourge in Fei’e City.”

”We all agree to nominate Yelu Yan as the next City Lord of Fei’e City.”

...

Yang Xiao knew that at this moment, he should strike while the iron is hot to confirm the Yelu Family’s future position in Fei’e City. As for his marriage with Caiyun, he’d rather let them misunderstand for now.

From the Yelu Family’s point of view, they would be more than happy for Yang Xiao to become their son-in-law.

Yang Xiao immediately smiled slightly and said:

”Since everyone acknowledges the Yelu Family as the new City Lord, that’s great!

How about this, you choose some representatives who can make decisions, and we’ll have a brief negotiation about taking over the City Lord’s position and how to handle the Ximen Family’s assets.”

Everyone nodded, acknowledging that this was a very practical issue, as the fight over the City Lord’s position was essentially a fight over benefits.

Gao Shengyang, being a veteran figure in Fei’e City, immediately said:

”Young Master Yang, you’ve raised a very good point, perfect to address at today’s joyous banquet. Ahem, of course, currently, it’s Young Master Yang and Miss Caiyun’s wedding banquet,”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

After Gao Shengyang finished, he said to his son Gao Shan beside him:

”Gao Shan, today is a happy day for the Yelu Family. Go and make arrangements below, reset all the banquets, make sure no guests leave, and immediately bring a hundred people from our family and the Yelu Family to form a Guard Team, ensuring safety here, to prevent the Ximen Family’s members from causing trouble...”

After Gao Shengyang made all these arrangements, his son Gao Lou immediately went to carry them out.

Yelu Yan gratefully said to Gao Shengyang:

”Thank you, Uncle Gao.”

”Ah, there’s no need for formality between our two families, given that your father and I were as close as brothers back in the day. Ah, I haven’t been able to take good care of you over the years. Uncle Gao is getting old, and my abilities are limited, so as long as you don’t blame me, my dear nephew...”

The Gao Family and the Yelu Family developed a revolutionary friendship in a flash, while the surrounding family clan leaders, seeing this, were all well aware that this meant the Gao and Yelu Families had formed an alliance.

Gao Shengyang and Yelu Yan had a brief communication, and immediately invited three other families as representatives to discuss taking over the City Lord’s position inside.

Yang Xiao glanced at Chen Cangshan beside him and said:

”Elder Gao, Uncle Yelu, I have another friend to introduce to you.”

The two were taken aback, looking at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao pulled Chen Cangshan out from behind him and said:

”This is my friend from the Flying Leopard Academy, also a friend of Caiyun and Gao Lou. His name is Chen Cangshan, and he is the son of the City Lord of Cangshan City.”

Cangshan City is one of the top ten cities in the Flying Leopard Empire. Those who can become the City Lord of one of the top ten cities are heavyweights in the Flying Leopard Empire and trusted by the Emperor.

By bringing up Chen Cangshan, Yang Xiao naturally intended to make use of his father’s status to intimidate the leaders of these small cities, which was very effective.

Everyone was astonished, looking at Chen Cangshan.

”Oh, so it’s the son of the City Lord of Cangshan City, my apologies!”

Chen Cangshan smiled gently, elegantly cupped his fists, and said:

”Haha, I’m primarily here this time to accompany Brother Yang Xiao to handle his and Caiyun’s wedding. Regarding Yang Xiao’s killing of the Ximen father and son, I think it was entirely deserved,

since the Ximen family relied on their strength to seize the Yelu Family’s mines and forced Miss Caiyun into marriage, which was simply brutal, barbaric, and unforgivable,

When I return, I will report this to my father and ask him to speak with the Emperor about the Ximen family’s outrageous and vile deeds...”

Chen Cangshan truly did not disappoint as someone who grew up in a family of officials, deeply understanding the ways of the empire’s officialdom. With just a few simple words, he invisibly used his father’s authority to suppress the leaders of these small cities.

Yang Xiao had defeated the Ximen family through strength, but his personal reputation wasn’t strong enough. Now, with Chen Cangshan standing as his friend, he leveraged the authority of the City Lord of Cangshan City, which was indeed impactful.

Being from such an insignificant small city, both Gao Shengyang, Yelu Yan, and the representatives of other family forces understood the gravity of the Cangshan City Lord’s authority.

Everyone immediately paid their respects to Chen Cangshan, cupping their fists and saying:

”Young Master Chen is absolutely right. The Ximen father and son truly deserved their demise.”

After some pleasantries, Gao Shengyang said:

”Young Master Yang, shall we go inside to discuss the matters of taking over the City Lord’s position?”

Yang Xiao nodded,

”Alright, let’s have Gao Lou and Cangshan come inside to listen in as well.”

This act of Yang Xiao was essentially reciprocating kindness, advancing Gao Lou a bit, in gratitude for Gao Shengyang’s full support.

Gao Shengyang was extremely happy, his old face beaming with smiles.
