There was murderous intent in Xie Ye's eyes, and his words were slightly angry, unlike his usual elegant demeanor.

That's why Xia Changming dared to assert that Xie Ye must have a more important reason for not choosing to join forces with the Cai Wang family.

"I lost my temper, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Xia Changming saw through her, Xie Ye no longer concealed it and said frankly:

"A few months ago, Cai Jie, the eldest son of the Cai family, came to my Xie family and had a secret meeting with my father."

"I was not at home at the time, so I don't know what they said. I only heard later that my father was very angry and kicked Cai Jie out of the Xie family."

"Later, when my father returned from outside Tiandu, he was murdered by thieves, along with dozens of guards, and all of them were slaughtered and their souls were taken away!"

Speaking of this, Xie Ye's face could no longer hide his anger, and he crushed the teacup in his hand with one hand.

""Mr. Xie is dead?"

Xia Changming asked in surprise.

Since he came back, he has been collecting intelligence from all over Tiandu. As far as he knows, Mr. Xie was suddenly bedridden due to illness, so he rarely showed up. He didn't expect that he had been killed.

At this point, Xie Ye had nothing to hide, so he nodded gently and admitted.

"In order to avoid causing panic among the many people in the family, we decided to conceal the news of my father's death and announced that he was ill and could not get up."

"Only the elders in the family knew about this."

"Now I am the successor of the Xie family."

So that's it...

Xia Changming suddenly realized. No wonder the name written on the envelope was not his father's, but Xie Ye's name.

Now Xie Ye is talking to him as the head of the Xie family.

But the position of the head of the family is not his original wish.

Xie Ye had no interest in the position of the head of the family. Like his younger sister Xie Hualing, he devoted himself to practicing music, indulging in the mountains, living in peace and comfort, and not hearing about worldly affairs.

But Xie Pingsheng was suddenly attacked and died, so he had to take up the banner of the family in order to find the murderer.

Revenge for his father!

"So, Brother Xie has already figured out the murderer?"

"Could it be the Cai family or the Wang family?"

Combined with Xie Ye's attitude just now, he would rather choose to unite with the Xia family than with the Cai family or the Wang family. Xia Changming made a bold guess.

Xie Ye nodded seriously.

"Although I haven't got any solid evidence yet, I have concluded that one of the Cai family or the Wang family, or both, was involved in the attack on my father!"

"Oh? Brother Xie, are you so sure it's not the Xia family?"

Xia Changming pretended to be meaningful.

But this obviously couldn't fool Xie Ye.

Xie Ye shook his head slowly and said,"I'm sure it's not the Xia family."

"First, Brother Xia had not returned a few months ago, and the head of the Xia family was your father, Xia Changlin."

"I have talked to him a bit, and I can see that your father is a good man, and he has no ambitions at all."

"I heard what Brother Xie said, and I think I would have the ambition to participate in this family dispute?"

Xia Changming pointed at himself and asked with a smile.

He claimed that he was harmless to people and animals, so how could he be regarded like this?

Xie Ye smiled and stared at Xia Changming, but did not answer immediately. After staring at each other for a while, he slowly spoke:

"I have heard of Brother Xia's talent. As soon as he returned to the Xia family, he defeated all the arrogant people and killed Xia Haotian, the first person in the Xia family, with a sword to win the position of the head of the family."

"Afterwards, he even publicly abolished Cai Kun, the second son of the Cai family, in Tiandi Baoge."

"In my opinion, all of this should be part of Brother Xia’s plan. He is ready to lead the Xia family back to the top of the four great families!"

"In this case, the Cai family and the Wang family are your opponents, and you and I can unite to resist the Cai and Wang families together!"

In Xie Ye's eyes, whether it was suppressing the Xia family's pride or abolishing Cai Kun, these were all intentional by Xia Changming.

After the incident with Tiandi Pavilion, he saw that Xia Changming intended to be an enemy of the Cai family.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Xie Ye took the initiative to invite Xia Changming and proposed an invitation for a joint confrontation.

In fact, in Xie Ye's heart, he even guessed that Xia Changming might go to Tiandi Pavilion for a joint fight.

After all, at that time, someone saw Xia Changming take the initiative to ask to see the person in charge of Tiandi Pavilion.

However, based on the principle that Tiandi Pavilion has never participated in any disputes, it should have been rejected most of the time.

Xia Changming did intend to bring the Xia family back to the top, but Tiandi Pavilion abolishing Cai Kun was really just an accident.

He happened to meet Cai Kun, and he happened to touch his wife without knowing the consequences, which gave him the opportunity to teach the Cai family a lesson.

He must avenge the blood feud between the Xia family and the Cai family in recent years!

Although he can still do it without the Xie family, but if he can have more helpers, maybe there will be less trouble.

"Since Brother Xie knows what I mean, it's okay for us to form an alliance."

"What are the conditions for the alliance?"

Xia Changming asked

"The Xie family will do their best to assist the Xia family, on the condition that in addition to helping the Xie family find the murderer, the Xia family must also promise to be on good terms with the Xie family for a hundred years and not to invade the Xie family's territory."

Xia Changming nodded after hearing this. This was not a problem.

He dealt with the Cai family simply because he had a grudge against the Cai family.

The Xie family had never provoked the Xia family, so there was no need for him to take action against the Xie family.

However, the request made by Xie Ye next made Xia Changming uneasy.

"In addition, Brother Xia must marry my sister as a bond between the two families."

"This won't do, Brother Xie, I'm a married man."

Xia Changming immediately refused righteously.

He had already married Su Yueli for the sake of peace between the human and demon races, and now there was another marriage between the two families.

One was not settled yet and another one came.

Besides, he liked his stubborn and arrogant young lady very much and had no intention of marrying other women.

Xia Changming could probably guess what Xie Ye was thinking about this request.

It was not uncommon for the aristocratic families to form alliances through marriage. Once Xie Hualing married in, the Xia family and the Xie family would have another more reliable in-law relationship in the alliance.

By then, no matter how strong the Xia family was, As the Xia family grows stronger, there is no need to worry about the Xia family attacking the Xie family.

On the contrary, the stronger the Xia family grows, the more the Xie family can be protected by the Xia family under the alliance, and maintain stability and prosperity for generations.

In short, Xie Ye must have taken a fancy to Xia Changming, who is at the Tianzun realm.

For Xie Ye, Xia Changming is such a young and promising genius, and his future is limitless! In time, the Cai family will not be a threat at all. At this time, the Xie family took the initiative to win over the Xia family, even if it cost them everything, it is worth it!

So when Xie Ye heard Xia Changming's refusal, he was not discouraged, but smiled confidently:

"Brother Xia, don't rush to refuse. Why don't you wait until you meet my sister before making a decision?"

"It seems like she should be here soon."As soon as Xie Ye finished speaking, a beautiful figure came in holding a guqin. It was Xie Hualing who had just finished playing.

""Little sister, this is Brother Xia, the current head of the Xia family."

Xie Ye extended his hand to introduce Xie Hualing.

Xie Hualing looked at Xia Changming with a little surprise, then bowed slightly and greeted:

""I've met Master Xia."

Xia Changming simply nodded in response.

Seeing Xie Hualing up close, he could feel her noble and elegant temperament from the inside out, just like a fairy who lived in seclusion in the mountains and played music, untainted by dust. You can only watch from a distance, not play with her!

No wonder she is known as the number one singer in Tiandu.
