Chapter 226 Father and daughter compromise
After reaching a "cooperation" with Lin Han, Yao Taien took action on the second day.
Yao Taien asked Yao Nan to summon Xia Xiaoman to have a meal together.
Xia Xiaoman refused.
She only ate a little when she first arrived, and never touched it again after that.
I really have no appetite for these things.
It's better to breathe out the vitality.
Yao Nan also knew that Xia Xiaoman was now a person with advanced cultivation, so he didn't force her and went to eat alone.
Seeing his daughter coming alone, Yao Taien frowned slightly.
"Where's Xiaoxia?"
"Father, she is a cultivator, so naturally she does not eat common things."
Hearing this, Yao Taien was silent for a moment and said, "Sit down and eat."
He felt inexplicably relieved, but he was still a little uneasy.
Xia Xiaoman didn't eat or drink water.
What should I do?
He couldn't figure out the woman's temperament, and it was a bit difficult to deal with it.
The second day.
Yao Taien met Lin Han again.
Lin Han said calmly: "Your daughter is close to her. How about asking your daughter to find ways to let her eat and drink."
Yao Taien knew that his daughter was smart. He needed to confirm that Xia Xiaoman had been drugged in the past two days, so she must be given something to eat and drink.
Now Xia Xiaoman has clearly rejected this kind of thing. If he deliberately asked Yao Nan to do this, it would only appear very abrupt and might make her feel weird.
If you were exposed because of this, that would be the end of it.
But wanting to ensure that Yao Nan would really administer the drug meant telling Yao Nan about it.
Yao Taien is naturally unwilling.
"No, if Xiaonan finds out about this."
Before he finished speaking, Yao Taien's whole body trembled, as if he was in a world of ice and snow, feeling chilled to the bone.
Lin Han was looking at him with an indifferent expression.
"Even now, are you still obsessed with this?"
Yao Taien's face turned pale.
Lin Han said: "With the woman's cultivation level, it should take a few hours for the medicine to take effect without being discovered."
Yao Taien was speechless.
"If you are obedient, we can still cooperate well, and there will be opportunities to work together again in the future." Lin Han walked out of the pavilion, his voice drifting away.
"You also think about your family."
Yao Taien felt angry in his heart but did not dare to express it.
Of course he could tell that the other party was threatening him.
But so what if you heard it.
Moreover, this person's goal is not as simple as winning the competition.
He obviously wanted Xia Xiaoman's life!
But as a Haoran Realm monk, why would he be so afraid of a Divine Aperture Realm monk?
This is what Yao Taien doesn't understand the most.
And only Lin Han knows this.
On the sky platform in Chaoge City, he saw with his own eyes the fighting power of the three Aotian Sect disciples. They would then pose a threat to the Haoran Realm monks, not to mention that after so much time, the other party would definitely improve.
However, he was weakened by his inner demons and he did not dare to take such big risks.
That's why we use this trick.
Yao Taien naturally didn't know, and he wouldn't have the chance to know.
He was still very hesitant in his heart.
It is not that easy for him to harm someone.
The guilt and hesitation in his heart have not completely dissipated.
Another day passed, and an unexpected person came to Yao's house.
Yao Taien also frowned after seeing this person.
"Qi Yaofu?"
"Old Yao."
Qi Yaofu looked haggard.
Yao Taien frowned and asked, "Why did you come to my Yao house?"
"Come to talk to you."
"What do we have to talk about?"
"Mining rights."
This made Yao Taien's heart skip a beat, and after much hesitation, he could only talk to him.
After talking about it, he really made up his mind and put the guilt behind him.
Qi Yaofu returns to Qi's house.
"Mr. Lin,"
Lin Han saw him coming back and asked, "How's it going?"
"He has already agreed."
"very good."
Lin Han sneered.
This is the most useful medicine.
In this way, Yao Taien can be prevented from making some unexpected moves.
Qi Yaofu sighed in his heart. He really couldn't guess what the person in front of him was thinking.
Although it might be just a ploy, he was still worried that part of his mineral vein would be divided.
In the evening, Yao family.
Yao Taien met Yao Nan.
"Xiaonan, come to the study, I have something to tell you."
Yao Nan was startled, and then followed him.
Came to the study room.
Yao Nan asked in confusion: "Dad, why do you have to be so secretive?"
"sit down."
Yao Taien sat on the other side and sighed. Although he still hesitated, there was no time.
"Xiaonan, do you have a very good relationship with Xiaoxia?"
This question surprised Yao Nan. She thought about it and then smiled bitterly.
"Dad, I have been separated from her for three years, and we didn't get along for too long back then. If it had been someone else, I would have forgotten about me long ago."
The reason why he can still regard her as a friend is naturally because Xia Xiaoman is so kind.
Yao Nan also had some friends when he was young, but later those people's families became rich and they gradually distanced themselves from each other.
To say that the relationship was very good, she didn't know what Xiaoman thought, but she never dared to say that.
Yao Taien was silent for a moment and then asked: "Then can you consider her a friend?"
"She regards me as a friend, and I naturally regard her as a friend." Yao Nan nodded.
She never thought that Xia Xiaoman would come to visit her three years later.
"That's good."
Yao Taien said: "There is something I need you to help me with now."
Yao Nan nodded: "You say."
So, Yao Taien said: "Xiaoxia must lose in tomorrow's competition."
Yao Nan opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
"Why? Dad, don't you really want the mining rights? Why."
"As long as Xiaoxia loses, I can own part of the mining rights."
Yao Nan was stunned.
Yao Taien's voice was low: "I have reached an agreement with Qi Yaofu."
Yao Nan asked in disbelief: "Aren't you and Qi Yaofu competitors?"
"Qi Yaofu had a conflict with the people he invited, and he was not confident that he would definitely win, but no matter whether he won or lost, he had to hand over the promised benefits to those people.
"But he didn't want to give up the mining rights, so we made an agreement. If he won the competition, he would get seven points of the mine, and if he lost, he would get three points."
After hearing this explanation, Yao Nan understood what he meant.
If Qi Yaofu's side loses, he will lose both his wife and his troops, which is a huge loss in business.
That's why I left myself a way out.
Yao Nan looked at his father with sadness and disappointment in his eyes.
He was also not sure about the outcome of this competition, so he also left this escape route for himself.
It was precisely because of what Qi Yaofu said today that Yao Taien finally made his decision.
Maybe he didn't want to do that, but obviously he couldn't resist the Haoran Realm monk.
Since that person had already threatened him, why let Qi Yaofu come to make this deal with him, so Yao Taien thought that Qi Yaofu didn't know that Lin Han had come to see him.
But he had no choice, so he might as well just let nature take its course.
Before others, you must protect yourself first!
All the hesitations in Yao Taien's heart disappeared, leaving only the natural feeling.
They are all going to lose anyway, so why not give Qi Yaofu a favor.
Yao Taien naturally concealed Lin Han's matter from Yao Nan, but he did not want the latter to know about this.
Yao Nan sighed: "Then I'll make Xiaoman admit defeat."
Anyway, it shouldn't be an important thing to Xiaoman.
"No!"
"Why?"
Yao Nan frowned.
Yao Taien said solemnly: "If I admit defeat, other forces will know that I have cooperated with Qi Yaofu, which will be extremely detrimental to future development!"
But in fact, it was because of that person that he wanted Xia Xiaoman to die!
Yao Nan was silent, then asked: "How about I go talk to Xiaoman and let her perform a show?"
"No, it will be seen through. Someone may be observing in the dark."
"What does dad want to do?"
So, Yao Taien took out the jade bottle and put it on the table.
Yao Nan could tell what it was at a glance. She stood up suddenly, her face full of disbelief.
"You want me to drug Xiaoman!?"
Yao Nan's pupils were trembling. She was not shocked. She never expected that her father would let her poison her friend!
Yao Taien quickly explained: "It's just a medicine that will make her temporarily weak! It's not a poison that will kill her!"
The lies piled up.
"But this is still drugging!"
Yao Nan shouted.
Face to face, Yao Taien was frightened by the shouting. Worried that Xia Xiaoman would hear it, he stood up suddenly.
"That's enough! It won't kill her!"
Yao Nan was overwhelmed by her father's momentum, and she pursed her lips tightly.
Yao Taien also couldn't calm down.
If this matter is not achieved, the Yao family may be doomed. How can he calm down?
If my daughter tells Xia Xiaoman the secret, everything will be over!
"Xonan! Listen to your father! Just this once!"
Yao Taien grabbed his daughter's shoulders, the majesty of the head of the family completely gone from his old face.
"Father, I'm begging you. I'm just letting her lose once. How about we apologize to her as a family afterwards?"
Everything is to protect the Yao family.
Yao Nan was trembling all over, and she said tremblingly: "Does mother know about this?"
"she does not know."
Yao Taien shook his head, his eyes filled with tears.
"Xiao Nan, please help dad. For the sake of the Yao family, dad is begging you!"
Hearing such a humble tone and words, Yao Nan bit his lip and allowed his father to shake him.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Yao Taien became cruel and fell to the ground.
"father!?"
"Help dad!"
Yao Nan also knelt down. She didn't want to cry, she just felt sad.
Finally, she gave in.
"good."
