Chapter 1989 The Sima Family is About to Retreat

The six elders were somewhat surprised to hear this, but they quickly regained their composure.

"This was expected news."

The First Elder's expression was serious as he said, "The council members of the hidden families have come several times already, but we've been dealing with them according to the methods of our ancestors, so they haven't been able to find anything wrong. However, this can't continue. If Yang Feng comes in person..."

"Yes, his perspective is different from that of ordinary people, and his understanding of the Sima family is beyond our imagination."

The second elder chimed in.

These people were clearly somewhat afraid of Yang Feng.

After all, although Yang Feng's strength was not as good as Sima Shan's, he was still in a class of his own, below Sima Shan and Qin Linyuan, and was once a prominent figure.

"So you all mean we should evacuate as soon as possible, right?"

Sima Changle inquired.

The elders present fell slightly silent at this moment.

After a brief silence.

The youngest elder spoke up, saying, "We have completed the task entrusted to us by our ancestors, but our Sima family is, after all, a large family with thousands of years of history. It would be too frivolous to just give up such a large piece of land we have managed."

His words made the Fourth Elder nod in agreement.

“That’s right. I think even if they have suspicions now, they don’t have any evidence. So what if Yang Feng comes? It’s just another formality for those people to investigate. As long as we deal with the personnel and territory cleanly, can Yang Feng conjure up any dirt on us out of thin air?”

The Fourth Elder's words also carried a certain firmness.

They were reluctant to give up such a large family.

After all, if the Sima family really gives up this time, it means they will fully join the Shanhe system and begin their exile.

The First Elder shook his head and said, "Elders, your courage and vigor are commendable, but now that we have completed our mission, why go through the trouble of staying here and increasing the risk?"

"That's right. Nobody knows what other tricks Yang Feng is up his sleeve. He gave us a good beating before. As long as our ancestor isn't around, who among us can stand up to him?"

"Yes, and our ancestor can't possibly come out to deal with him personally, otherwise it would further expose the relationship between our family and the mountains and rivers."

……

The elders quickly started arguing.

Sima Changle didn't get involved; he simply waited for these people to argue until they reached a conclusion.

Available soon.

But a servant rushed in from outside.

“Master, there is news.”

The servant took a letter out of his pocket.

Sima Changle frowned, and after taking it, he saw that it was indeed written by Sima Shan himself.

As he looked at what was written on it, his expression gradually darkened.

The people who were arguing stopped arguing at this moment.

Only after Sima Chang Le put down the letter did they ask, "Master, what happened?"

"The ancestors sent a message, telling us to pack our things immediately and prepare to evacuate. They also gave us a list of people to leave right now."

Sima Changle's words brought the debate to an end.

Such a letter demonstrates just how tense the situation was at that time.

"But... there are so many things to do in the family, how can we evacuate so quickly?"

They were in a bit of a dilemma.

The First Elder also lowered his head and said, "Yes, even if I support the evacuation, the clan is so large, there are too many things to take with us, how can we possibly manage in time?"

"The letter said that we should leave behind all the bottles and jars, and take only what is most important, especially the evacuation of people. That's enough."

Sima Changle took a deep breath and said, "They will send people to restrain the Investigation Bureau and other hidden families' actions. We have one day."

"..."

The elders fell silent at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Sima Shan didn't even give them time to pack their things.

"Alright, let's carry out the ancestor's orders. Since he sent this letter specifically, it means things must have reached a critical point."

Sima Changle stood up, ending the meeting.

Clearly, a significant part of the reason he was able to take this position is because of his strong execution ability.

The reason why the Sima family changed heads so frequently in the past was largely because those heads had too many of their own ideas.

Many of these incidents nearly jeopardized the family's plans.

By the time they reached Sima Changle, they all understood very well what kind of family head Sima Shan needed.

Although the elders still had their own plans, they could only bow their heads and agree in the face of such a resolute patriarch.

the other side.

Zhuge family.

After Yang Feng and his group found rooms to rest in the main residence, they...

To fulfill her duty as a host, Lu Qingyu decided to take a few people out with her.

"You guys go ahead, I have something to discuss with your uncle."

Yang Feng said.

Lu Qingyu replied helplessly, "Alright then, we'll be at Zhuge Grilled Fish. You can come over by yourself."

"Well, I see."

Yang Feng agreed.

After seeing the others off, Yang Feng headed towards the depths of the family mansion.

We walked through a forest path.

Inside was the head of the household's office and residence.

Yang Feng was already familiar with this place, and as he walked by, he happened to run into Zhuge Yichen who was coming from the opposite direction.

"Mr. Yang."

Zhuge Yichen greeted him, saying, "The patriarch is inside."

"Well, thank you."

"I have to go take care of some business first. I'll definitely have a good drink with Mr. Yang when I get back."

He greeted them politely, then hurried outside, seemingly having received an important mission.

At this point, everyone started to get anxious.

Yang Feng walked into the service hall.

Lu Chang'an was processing a large number of letters and official documents.

Upon seeing Yang Feng walk in, Lu Chang'an subconsciously stood up as well, then smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Feng. I was just saying I'd have Qingyu take you out for a walk to clear your head."

"The matter is urgent, so I had to come and bother you ahead of schedule."

Yang Feng smiled and glanced at the documents on the table.

Lu Chang'an didn't hide anything, but said helplessly, "Sigh~ Many of these are letters written to me by other reclusive families. It seems that everyone has sensed the crisis."

"Yes, the world has changed, and reclusive families can no longer remain mediocre."

Yang Feng's words carried a different meaning.

Lu Chang'an understood Yang Feng's meaning, but he didn't continue talking about it. Instead, he said, "How about we go to the back room for tea first? It'll be good for me to clear my head, haha."

"It's been a long time since I've tasted Zhuge's tea."

Yang Feng laughed along.

In fact, both of them had something to say, and they were well aware of it.

Back hall.

The servant brought over two cups of tea.

Yang Feng took a small sip and then said, "Only in this secluded paradise could such fine tea be grown."

"Yes, it's a pity this place is about to open."

Lu Chang'an's first words were the starting point for Yang Feng's conversation.
