Beauty and the Bodyguard

Gan Zang then asked, "How many people are there?"

Ouyang Yan calmly replied: "This needs to be discussed in detail. After I have finished talking with the various families in Long County, we will make a unified distribution."

Gan Zang nodded slightly, this was reasonable.

After all, the United Front is not just a matter for one family or one clan.

The benefits given by Tiandaoyuan cannot be eaten up by his family alone.

Gan Yuan asked quietly, "So, the united front will only bring benefits to our Gan family, without any harm at all?"

Hearing this, Gan Zang immediately became alert.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

"It can't be said to be a bad thing. At best, it can only be regarded as a necessary price."

Ouyang Yan stroked the paper fan gently: "The original intention of establishing a united front is to avoid fighting alone and being defeated by the evil demons one by one, so each family must obey the unified dispatch of our Tiandao Academy. I hope you can understand this."

"impossible!"

Gan Yuan immediately objected coldly: "All actions of our Gan family must be decided by our Gan family ourselves, otherwise there is no point in discussing this."

Ouyang Yan shook his head speechlessly: "This is the bottom line of our Tiandao Academy. We cannot retreat even a single step. If Elder Yuan insists on doing so, then I can only go to the Chen and Li families."

"Goodbye."

Gan Yuan stood up and saw the guest off without saying a word.

Ouyang Yan glanced at Gan Zang who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and without further delay, he said goodbye with a faint smile and left.

As soon as he left, Gan Zang could no longer sit still.

"Master Yuan, the conditions offered by Tiandao Academy are reasonable. I really don't see any reason to refuse."

Gan Yuan glanced at him and said, "At any time, the fate of the Gan family must be in our own hands. This is my bottom line. Let me ask you, do you really think that Tiandaoyuan can be trusted?"

Gan Zang was stunned: "If Tiandaoyuan is unreliable, who else can be trusted?"

Gan Yuan said in a low voice: "Tian Dao Academy is not without its dark history. It is always better to rely on yourself than on others."

"But this is a different time."

Gan Zang tried hard to persuade him for a while, but with Gan Yuan's tough temper, how could he be persuaded by just a few words?

In the end, Gan Zang could only say coldly, "Since Master Yuan is determined to do this, I will not persuade him any more. Let's wait for Zhong Jie to come back and then we can vote."

The two parted unhappily.

Returning to Lin Yi, Gan Yuan repeated what had just happened.

Lin Yi was surprised and asked, "Does he really have Ouyang Hai's talisman?"

Gan Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It should be true. I have seen Ouyang Hai's handwriting before. The meaning of the great Dao revealed in the characters is exactly the same. It is difficult for others to forge it."

"That's interesting."

Lin Yi pinched his chin in thought.

He is from Song Changting's faction, and it is rumored that Ouyang Hai and Song Changting have always been at odds with each other.

Having said that, if this was the top-level decision of Tiandao Academy, then it would be impossible for us to not get any news about it no matter what.

The only explanation was that Ouyang Hai and his group wanted to bypass him and reach out to the Gan family.

This is not wishful thinking.

Considering Lin Yi's current status, the other party would definitely treat him with caution unless they are stupid.

Especially when it comes to factional disputes, we must be on guard.

Having said that, the Gan family is a perfect piece of fat meat, and countless people are jealous of it, openly or secretly. In Lin Yi's hands, in the eyes of some big shots, it is no different from a child carrying gold and parading in the market, which is a waste of God's resources.

Lin Yi pointed his finger at the table and said, "So, we have to speed up the attack on Gan Zang."

Gan Yuan deeply agreed with this.

Under the subtle influence of the Recruitment List, he has consciously become one with Lin Yi. He does not trust Tiandao Academy, but trusts Lin Yi.

Gan Zang snorted, "My Gan family is the head of Long County. Whether it's the Chen family or the Li family, when will they be able to surpass my Gan family?"

"I think so too. The Chen and Li families are just a last resort as a backup plan, but..."

Ouyang Yan paused, and said with interest: "From what Master Zang said, is there a way to convince Master Yuan?"

Gan Zang stood with his hands behind his back: "Family affairs are never decided by a single word, nor does it necessarily require his consent."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ouyang Yan's eyes lit up: "Then I will wait for good news from Master Zang."

"No problem."

Gan Zang immediately took the initiative to invite him, saying, "Mr. Ouyang has come from afar. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. I will show my hospitality as a host. Please come in."

Ouyang Yan readily agreed.

After three rounds of drinking.

With Ouyang Yan's deliberate flattery and enticement, the relationship between the two has become much closer. During the meal, they were quite close to each other, without distinguishing between who they were and who they were.

The time has come, Gan Zang turns to the main topic: "From what you just said, is there something else going on with this alliance?"

Ouyang Yan looked around and set up a soundproof barrier before speaking softly:

"The evil spirits are coming with great force. Two counties have already fallen. Even if we establish a united front, it is hard to say how effective it will be."

"After all, every family has its own selfish desires."

"How easy is it to get them to cooperate sincerely?"

Gan Zang deeply agrees with this.

Not to mention the major families, even within his own Gan family, they were far from being united.

Ouyang Yan lowered his voice and said, "Last time, our Tiandao Academy had a secret meeting with the Tianjun family. I heard that someone over there proposed to lead the evil demons to several lower-level counties and use the lower-level counties as cannon fodder to consume the main force of the evil demons."

"How can this be possible!"

Gan Zang immediately became furious.

Long County is one of the inferior counties mentioned by the other party.

Ouyang Yan quickly advised: "Master Zang, calm down. This is just what I heard from others. Don't take it seriously."

Gan Zang snorted coldly: "Given the character of those people in Tianjun, they are capable of doing such a thing!"

But even though I was angry, I immediately felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Others are the butchers and I am the meat.

Who made our strength far inferior to the other party?

Even if they really did that, what can they do to them?

As for the attitude of Tiandaoyuan, as long as they can withstand this wave of evil demons, what does it matter which family or clan is sacrificed?

But in this case, the future for his Gan family is already bleak.

Seeing that Gan Zang was in a low mood, Ouyang Yan poured a glass of wine and said mysteriously: "In fact, if Mr. Zang wants to save the Gan family, in addition to the united front, there is another way to go."

Gan Zang said quickly: "Young friend, please speak frankly."

"Have you ever heard of Xinjun, Mr. Zang?"

Ouyang Yan only said this, then stopped talking and drank. (End of this chapter)
