Chapter 856: Five Great Aristocratic Families

arms and gnawing on it with greasy lips. From time to time, he would grab a bottle of wine next to him and take a gulp."Um... where is everyone"Several people looked around, but they didn't see Ye Buf..."Xiao Fan, you're back!"

Upon seeing Ye Bufan, Changsun Dongju immediately stepped forward, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She was very clear that it was this young man who had saved her, otherwise she would have died twice by now.

Ye Bufan nodded and turned to look at Situ Dianmo: "Are you injured"

"It's alright, not too heavy."

"Take this medicine."

Ye Bufan said, handing over a small black pill. Si Tu Dian Mo took it and threw it directly into his mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it quickly dissolved into a stream of heat that flowed into his five internal organs and six bowels. The burning sensation in his injured chest was instantly eased.

Three people sat down on the sofa. Changsun Dongju asked, "Xiaofan, what's going on Did Changan Sheng do this What did you mean by that just now"

She still cared deeply about this, after all, no one wants their son who they raised for over twenty years to turn against them.

"It was him, but there's someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Ye Bufan recounted the events, finally saying: "This time, although it was Changsun Sheng who attacked you, there were others forcing him. That person is the real mastermind behind the scenes."

Today wasn't entirely fruitless either. I can confirm that the person behind targeting Changsun Dongju is likely the same as my own mysterious mastermind.

If you can guess the general direction, you can also have a goal for yourself in the future.

"This is hard to guess." Changsun Dongju shook her head. "Hongmeng Group is the top conglomerate in the capital, with assets exceeding hundreds of billions."

There are countless people who want to take advantage of me, many of them eager to swallow this fat piece of meat. From this point alone, it's impossible to guess who the culprit might be.

Yè Bùfán thought about it and said, "Then you have to be more careful in the future."

"It's fine, as long as Changsun Sheng is dead, I'm safe. That person wanted to kill me simply because he wants to take over the Hongmeng Group through him."

"Now that there are no moles, even if I die they won't get any benefit, so they have no need to attack me anymore."

Changsun Dongju said this, but still a touch of sadness crossed her face. No matter what, she raised him herself; to say there were no feelings would be a lie.

Ye Bufan comforted: "Auntie, you don't have to be too sad. This ungrateful wretch is a trouble anyway. Besides, you have your own son, and you'll find him sooner or later."

I don't know if he's still alive, and even if he is, I have no idea when he might be found.

Chang Sun Dongju raised her head, her face beaming with warmth, and said, "Xiao Fan, can Auntie accept you as my godson"

"This..."

Ye Bufan was stunned for a moment. He had no mental preparation at all.

Changsun Dongju said: "If my son were still alive, he should be about the same age as you."

"As long as you agree, from now on your aunt will treat you like her own son."

If this sentence were heard by someone else, they would probably be so excited their heart would jump out of their chest.

After all, Changsun Dongju holds the helm of the trillion-dollar Hongmeng Group. Once she becomes his godmother, he will become the sole heir to the Hongmeng Group in the future.

Ye Bufan never considered money, but looking at the other person's eager eyes, his heart melted instantly.

He already had an inexplicable sense of closeness to the other person, and at this moment, he couldn't refuse.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to be your godson."

"What a joy, I have another son."

Changsun Dongju held Ye Bufan's hand, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.

She was also very pleased with the young man before her, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to propose becoming his godfather.

"Mom!"

Ye Bufan called out, then kowtowed to Changsun Dongju, formally acknowledging her as his godmother.

"Good boy, get up quickly."

Long Sun Dongju spoke as she helped him up, hugging him tightly in her arms.

Several people chatted for a while longer, and Ye Bufan inquired in detail about the later person's situation.

Sipu Dianmo said, "The person was wearing a black suit, covered very tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes. You couldn't tell their appearance at all, but by their figure, it seemed to be a woman."

And her martial arts and moves were just like those of an Eastern Japanese person. She wielded a katana, wore geta sandals, and finally released ninja-exclusive maple leaf darts.

Based on these characteristics, she should be an Eastern ninja, but her cultivation level is too high, reaching the Heavenly Rank.

Ye Bufan frowned, he didn't expect that a Tianjie martial artist from the East Ying would come to China and even participate in the assassination of Changsun Dongju. It seems that this matter is getting more and more complicated.

At this moment, Si Tu Dian Mo suddenly cried out: "Oh, I remember! I wonder how Liu Yun is doing now."

Changsun Dongju chimed in, “Yes, we should go see quickly. I wonder if that person just now did anything to her.”

After finishing their conversation, several people rushed out of the room and into Liu Yun's. Upon entering, they saw her lying on the ground.

Si Tu Dian Mo cried out, "Could Liu Yun sister have fallen victim to that person's poisonous hand"

"It's okay, she just fainted."

Ye Bufan said as he walked over, placing his right hand on Liu Yun's pulse point, "Don't worry, she was just knocked unconscious. She's fine."

After that, he rubbed his temples with his hand, and Liu Yun quickly woke up.

"Brother Ye, Sister Situ, how did you come here"

Liu Yun sat up from the ground, looking at the people as if waking from a dream.

Ye Bufan said, "It's nothing, a little thief just came to the clinic. We came over to see if you were alright."

Liu Yun said: "Oh! I remember now, I was going to the bathroom, then someone hit me on the back of the head and I fainted. It turns out it was a thief."

"Okay, that's all. Everyone take a break."

Yè Búfán comforted Liú Yún with a few words, then left the room.

It was past midnight now, so he let Changsun Dongju and Situ Dianmo sleep in his room and went down to the main hall himself.

As a martial artist, whether or not there is a bed doesn't matter at all. If you enter a state of cultivation, an entire night passes in the blink of an eye.

But he didn't immediately begin cultivating, instead taking out his phone and making a call.

The phone connected, and Sima Wei's languid voice came through: "Darling, I heard there are beauties all around you now. The entire Zhuque team is guarding you. How do you still have time to call me"

"Aren't they here to help me Why such a sour attitude"

Ye Bufan said, "Alright, I have something important to tell you."

He recounted the events of tonight in detail and then said, "Now the clues have run cold. Help me analyze, who could be the mastermind behind this"

"That's a tough one to guess, given the limited information and clues we have."

Sima Wei said: "However, judging from the recent series of events, one can mobilize the Xiangxi Shangjia, command the Di capital Dongjia, and this time they have sent out a Tohoku Heaven-ranked ninja. "

To possess such formidable strength, one must at least be a core disciple of the top families in the Imperial Capital.

In the Imperial Capital, there are five top-tier aristocratic families. Our Sima family is one of them, along with the Ximen family, Dongfang family, Murong family, and Changsun family.

However, these five powerful clans are incredibly strong. Without sufficient evidence, investigating them would be difficult.e specifics of Tai Xu Palace, but there are definitely a few at the peak of tribulation crossing."In addition to that, there are probably fifty or sixty other cultivators who have reached the Transcen...
