Ye Tian said indifferently, "I'm afraid I can't help you two."
Li Qingmei was extremely disappointed, "Does True Monarch have any reservations?"
Ye Tian: "Firstly, I don't want to offend the Long family. Secondly, whoever could place a restriction on you must be an ultimate master. I also don't want to offend such a person."
Black Dragon: "If True Monarch is willing to help, my sixth sister and I will be greatly rewarded!"
Ye Tian sighed softly and said, "When I saw you just now, I noticed that the restrictions on you are very complex. The other party used drugs, techniques, and witchcraft to control you, treating you like puppets. Am I right?"
Li Qingmei nodded, "That's right. Once he issues an order, I can't even control my own body and must act according to his will." As she said this, she gritted her teeth, as if recalling something incredibly humiliating.
Ye Tian: "It seems you've been under the Long family's control all along."
Black Dragon sighed, "It's not the Long family, it's that person!"
Ye Tian: "Who?"
Black Dragon: "He is the Long family's strategist. After the old master passed away, he has taken control of the Long family's power."
Ye Tian: "So, the Long family has actually become the strategist's?"
Li Qingmei: "My elder and second elder brothers are no longer able to control him. They are just maintaining the situation. In fact, the Long family is now led by him. His position in the Long family is like the old master's position back then."
Ye Tian: "So, the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes all have the same treatment?"
Li Qingmei: "He is the strategist, and also our adoptive father. Among the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes, one Dragon and two Phoenixes are loyal to him and willingly act as his lackeys."
Ye Tian: "I see that even if you break free from the restrictions, you will still be influenced by him."
Black Dragon: "At that time, our lives will be our own. We will have no regrets even if we die!"
Ye Tian: "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Li Qingmei sneered, "So even a Human Immortal fears the Long family."
Ye Tian looked at her and said, "Provoking me is useless. There is a cause and effect between you, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to interfere. Moreover, this is all one-sided from your perspective."
Li Qingmei: "Time will prove that we are telling the truth!"
Ye Tian stood up, "Alright, I have other matters to attend to. We'll meet again."
He called Lin Ziyi and Han Lingyan, and they got into the car together, re-entering the expressway.
After Ye Tian left, Li Qingmei's gaze turned cold, and she said, "As expected, such masters don't act easily."
Black Dragon: "Sixth sister, I feel we still have a chance, but it will require you to make a sacrifice."
Li Qingmei said angrily, "Why should I make a sacrifice?"
Black Dragon looked at her, "Instead of serving that old man, wouldn't it be better to be with the Human Immortal?"
Li Qingmei fell silent. She seemed to recall something unbearable and gritted her teeth, "Fine!"
On the way, Han Lingyan asked, "Did you agree to them?"
Ye Tian: "These two were not telling the truth. Why would I help them? In fact, it's possible that our being brought to this place today was part of their scheme."
Han Lingyan was surprised, "Qingmei plotted this?"
Ye Tian: "Ninety percent probability."
He paused, then called Huang Yanran and said, "Go to the mansion and wait for me. I have something to tell you."
Huang Yanran was on her way home when she received the call and immediately rushed to the mansion.
Not long after Ye Tian returned, Huang Yanran also arrived. She asked, "Sir, you asked for me?"
Ye Tian glanced at her and smiled, "Yanran, among the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes, who is most loyal to the strategist?"
Huang Yanran smiled, "There's no difference. We all work for the Long family."
Ye Tian nodded, "Today, I had a conflict with someone named Black Dragon. Do you know him?"
Huang Yanran: "Yes, he's one of the Five Dragons. Wasn't he in the west? How did he end up in the capital?"
Ye Tian: "I don't know. I've already taught him a lesson and made him compensate me eighteen billion."
Huang Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, "He deserves it. How dare he offend you, a Human Immortal, without knowing better."
Ye Tian: "Since you're here, let me introduce you to my girlfriend and her best friend." He then introduced Lin Ziyi and Han Lingyan.
It was already late. After chatting for a while, Huang Yanran took her leave.
After the other party left, Lin Ziyi said, "Tian Ge, do you suspect Huang Yanran?"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "Huang Yanran doesn't have any restrictions on her, so she might be one of the Dragons or Phoenixes loyal to the strategist!"
