My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 74 - 26: Supporting the Na Family

Hearing the chief steward’s words, Yi Qin was taken aback. Realizing the importance of the matter, he immediately stood up from the ground.

"You’re right. The most important thing now is how to deal with this matter. Since those people are so formidable, once we’ve provoked them, they absolutely won’t let it go. The primary concern now is how to counter their revenge!" Yi Qin, being able to become the head of the Yi Family, was naturally not a simple figure. He quickly understood that the rift between him and Si Lin and the others couldn’t be repaired, and he could only try to solve the issue.

"Chief steward, you should get up first. Your cultivation has just been abolished, so you should go back and rest." Seeing the chief steward still on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, speaking with concern.

"This old servant’s body is not a concern. The Family Head should quickly think of a solution. This old servant will not disturb the Family Head." Knowing that his cultivation had been abolished and that he couldn’t be of service, the chief steward did not insist on staying and instead took his leave.

After the chief steward was helped out by the servants, Yi Qin immediately gathered the important members of the Yi Family to discuss how to deal with Si Lin and the others.

...

The speed of Nan Hua and Zhuo Tingqiu was indeed quick. In less than half an hour, they had returned to the residence.

"We found out that the Yi Family’s influence in Bi Qiu City is comparable to that of the City Lord Mansion. Apart from the Yi Family, there is also the Na Family, which has been a family of a century in Bi Qiu City. Originally, both families were about the same, evenly matched. But the Na Family recently encountered some issues, making their situation unfavorable.

The one whose ear was cut off, Yier, likes the Na Family’s Third Miss, and the Yi Family wants to annex part of the Na Family’s influence by forcing the Third Miss to marry Yier. The relationship between the two families is currently very poor!" Zhuo Tingqiu took a sip of water and shared what they had discovered with the others.

"So, in this city, the ones who most want the Yi Family to fall are likely the Na Family?" Rong Ye continued Zhuo Tingqiu’s words with a question.

"You could say that." Zhuo Tingqiu nodded.

"What about the state of the Na Family? How is the Family Head’s character? Do they behave like the Yi Family?" Yun Ran inquired beside him.

"According to the city’s common folk, the Na Family’s reputation is much better than the Yi Family. Their business practices are fair, and they don’t substitute inferior goods for superior ones. They don’t bully others just because they have great influence nor do they act like the Yi Family. The Family Head of the Na Family has an excellent reputation in the city." Nan Hua supplemented for Zhuo Tingqiu.

"In that case, we could help the Na Family solve their problems while assisting them in taking over the Yi Family." Mu Chen set down his teacup and said.

"That’s right. The most valued thing by the Yi Family father and son is their influence in Bi Qiu City, so we will let them be stepped on by the Na Family, falling from the clouds into the dust." Rong Ye became increasingly excited as he spoke, very pleased with his suggestion.

The others also felt the idea was good and unanimously decided to go with it.

Firstly, they needed to contact someone from the Na Family. Since it was still early, they tidied up and together headed towards the Na Family.

...

The Na Family wasn’t far from the residence where Gu Qingqing and her friends were staying; a quarter-hour walk could get them there. When Gu Qingqing and the others arrived, Nali was preparing to go out, surprised to hear that they wanted to meet her father.

"May I know who you are and what you are seeking from my father?" Nali came out from the gate, glanced over at Si Lin and the others, and asked politely.

At this moment, it’s most appropriate for Zhuo Tingqiu and Yun Ran to reveal their identities.

"Young Miss, I am Yun Ran from the Yun Family, and this is the Young Master Zhuo Tingqiu from the Zhuo Family. We have some matters we’d like to discuss with your esteemed father." Yun Ran spoke as she presented her identity jade token, handing it to Nali to prove she wasn’t lying.

The prestige of the Yun and Zhuo Families on the Xuantian Continent was well-known. Hearing Yun Ran’s and Zhuo Tingqiu’s identities, Nali paused for a moment, then carefully took the jade token from Yun Ran’s hand and inspected it.

Yun Ran was a direct descendant of the Yun Family, using a jade quite valuable. Nali immediately noticed the jade was extraordinary upon touching it, thus becoming more cautious. The front of the jade token was engraved with the character "Yun," and the back with "Ran." Nali thought for a moment and sent a trace of spiritual power into it. The jade token instantly became transparent, revealing a golden ingot pattern, the very symbol Nali knew appeared inside the identity jade tokens of the Yun Family.

This pattern was said to be the family emblem of the Yun Family, specially refined into the identity jade tokens of its direct descendants, making it impossible for ordinary people to imitate.

Having verified Yun Ran’s identity, Nali quickly and carefully returned the identity jade token to Yun Ran.

"Miss Yun, Young Master Zhuo, and the other esteemed guests, please follow me." Although Nali was the Third Miss of the Na Family and respected in Bi Qiu City, her identity was inadequate compared to the descendants of such top-tier powers like Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu, so she was extremely cautious.

Following Nali, the group entered the Na Family’s residence.

As they neared the front courtyard’s flower hall, the Family Head Na Yan hurriedly walked out from inside.

Na Yan appeared to be around fifty years old, stood approximately 1.8 meters tall, had a slender build, and wore a dark blue brocade robe. His features were those typical of a man from the Great Tang Dynasty, quite deep-set. His eyes twinkled with sharpness, and he wore a beard, giving him a somewhat kind appearance.

He carried an air of authority that commanded respect without anger. Upon seeing Gu Qingqing and the others, he promptly halted his steps.

"Father, this is Miss Yun Ran from the Yun Family, and this is Young Master Zhuo from the Zhuo Family. The others are their friends. They mentioned having matters to discuss with you." Nali quickly approached, reaching her father’s side and introducing them, "This is my father, the Family Head of the Na Family."

"I have met Miss Yun, Young Master Zhuo, and the other esteemed guests. May I know what business you have with me?" Na Yan, though curious about Yun Ran and the others’ intentions, still invited them into the flower hall and inquired.

Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu exchanged glances, with Zhuo Tingqiu taking the lead in speaking.

"That’s the situation, Family Head Na. This Young Master has heard that the Yi Family has been pressuring the Na Family recently. We’ve come specifically to offer our assistance to the Family Head Na." Zhuo Tingqiu spoke directly, not beating around the bush.

Na Yan looked at Zhuo Tingqiu with some surprise, "Why would Young Master Zhuo want to help us?"

"Let me put it this way: the Yi Family offended us, so we’ve decided to help the Na Family overtake the Yi Family and put them beneath our feet." Zhuo Tingqiu disclosed frankly.

Na Yan and Nali were even more surprised by this.

Suddenly, Nali seemed to recall something, staring at Zhuo Tingqiu and the others with astonishment, "Could it be that the ones who cut off Yier’s ear yesterday were you all?"

Zhuo Tingqiu turned to Nali in surprise, "Has this matter already become widely known?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The incident yesterday occurred on a busy street, and they had anticipated it would spread, but they didn’t expect it to spread so quickly!
