2058 I’m Waiting For You!
“Father, what are you saying? You’re the one who wanted me to marry Su Yunduan and was so insistent on us getting engaged! I never liked him so what does his death have to do with me?
“Mother told me that the Yi family is about to become the rulers of the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court. Our family has always been at odds with the Yi family. There’s no way they will let us off!”
Yu Yihe scoffed angrily.
“What a stupid way of thinking! Truly a stupid way of thinking! Yi Huailong will not only leave our family alone but will also support us in the future! There isn’t any other faction like our family in the entire Sacred Forest City! Once we’re gone, Yi Huailong will have no one to rule over!”
When she heard what Yu Yihe said, Yu Feifei immediately stopped crying and asked, “Father, is what you say true?”
Yu Yihe nodded and replied, “It’s very likely to be so! I’m headed to the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court now to speak with Yi Huailong!”
Yu Yihe rose to his feet and headed to the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court without riding a sedan.
Yu Yihe and Yi Huailong had been rivals for decades and felt that he knew Yi Huailong well.
This was why he was sure that Yi Huailong would not be taking any action despite the trouble he had caused him in the past.
However, there was a condition for this, which was that he needed to submit to Yi Huailong before the imperial meeting.
It was likely that Yi Huailong was waiting for him now!
If he did not submit to Yi Huailong before the imperial meeting, the Yu family would end up destroyed.
In spite of knowing this, Yu Yihe was not nervous at all.
All he did was look at the imperial court in the distance and let out a small sigh.
After all these years, it still ended in his loss to Yi Huailong.
For the sake of the Divine Wood Federation, he was going to be one of Yi Huailong’s subjects.
If Yi Huailong was able to sincerely accept him, he would support Yi Huailong with the full capabilities of the Yu family.
But if Yi Huailong only disregarded their past scuffles and was unwilling to give the Yu family the chance to develop, he would lead the Yu family away from Sacred Forest City and build a new city in a remote area that was far from the Divine Wood Federation’s main business district.
When Yu Yihe arrived at the entrance of the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court, he saw Yi Lingxi standing there as though she was waiting for someone.
Although Yu Yihe had been rivals with Yi Huailong and they were considered enemies, he had never put a junior like Yi Lingxi on the spot.
When he saw her in the past, he could ignore her and breeze past her.
But now, it was clearly inappropriate to do the same.
Yi Lingxi was Yi Huailong’s only daughter. Now that Yi Huailong was the ruler of the imperial court, Yi Lingxi was the First Princess of the Divine Wood Federation and had an extremely high status.
Yu Yihe had come to submit to Yi Huailong. Since this was his aim, he bowed and greeted Yi Lingxi, “Greetings, First Princess!”
Yi Lingxi accepted Yu Yihe’s address but did not put on any airs as she said, “Uncle Yu, my father asked me to wait for you here. He was sure that you would turn up. Let’s go into the main hall together. My father is waiting there!”
Yu Yihe was slightly stunned but managed to smile wryly.
Evidently, no one knew him better than his longtime rival.
Since Yi Huailong was willing to send Yi Lingxi to wait for him, it showed how important Yu Yihe was to him.
His importance to Yi Huailong gave him a better understanding of Yi Huailong’s character.
If he became the ruler of the imperial court, he would not put the Yi family at a spot and kill Yi Huailong but he would not offer Yi Huailong the same treatment he was receiving now.
Yi Huailong’s magnanimity and graciousness exceeded his own.
He followed Yi Lingxi into the main hall of the imperial court.
Yu Yihe was the head of the Yu family and the Yu family had maintained themselves second to the Yi family.
Not long ago, Yu Yihe decided to marry his daughter to the most outstanding direct disciple of the Su family, Su Yunduan.
Yu Yihe had not fought for this marriage because he was after the Su family’s power but because Su Yunduan was the only one with a countenance that met Yu Yihe’s satisfaction.
Yu Yihe had walked the path from the entrance of the imperial court to the main hall many times in the past.
But this time, the surname hanging over the imperial court had changed.
He was not going to greet Yang Hanxian but Yi Huailong.
When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Yi Lingxi made an ushering movement.
“Uncle Yu, please go in! I won’t be joining your discussion with my father!”
Yu Yihe nodded and strode into the imperial court’s main hall.
Yu Yihe saw that Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu were standing and discussing something.
There was a tradition in the Divine Wood Federation that when subjects entered the imperial court, they had to perform nine bows and 16 kowtows.
When Yu Yihe saw that Yi Huailong noticed his arrival, he immediately fell to his knees and began the tradition.
When he got to the last kowtow, Yu Yihe felt a pair of strong hands help him to his feet.
Yi Huailong chuckled cheerily and said, “Yihe! I knew you would come! You didn’t disappoint me after all!”
Yu Yihe clasped his hands together and shook them in front of Yi Huailong.
“I used to clash with you because I’m the head of the Yu family and want to give the Yu family a better future. When I arrived, I performed the customary nine bows and 16 kowtows to express my position as a subject. The top powers in the Divine Wood Federation have never been this week, and I’m sure you won’t have much labor under you. I’m willing to wholeheartedly support you. I hope that you’ll be able to give the Yu family a bright future! I can swear on my World Law that the Yu family will not do what the Su and Bai families did.”
Once Yu Yihe was done speaking, he heard Yi Huailong chuckle again.
“Yihe, I am indeed lacking helpers like you. You don’t have to swear. There is no need for that! Yi Huailu has become a Class 5 Creation Master, and anyone with a brain knows what to do. Since the Yi family has what it takes to become the rulers of the Divine Wood Federation, no one will dare to push us off our throne. In the future, the Yi family will become so strong that other factions will be clambering to join us.”
When Yu Yihe heard what Yi Huailong said, he looked at Yi Huailu in disbelief as astonishment flooded him.
What? Yi Huailu actually became a Class 5 Creation Master!
