Chapter 270 (1/2)

”Shen Yi, you have strength, talent and character. I like it very much. The Chen family covers the sky with only one hand in the imperial dynasty, but they can't sit on my head. I can help you solve the affairs of the Chen family, but you need to promise me a condition.” Hai Aojun suddenly said.

”I don't know what the sea clan leader needs my help?” Shen Yi didn't answer directly, but asked slowly.

”I need you to represent our Haifu this time to participate in the knockout of this day's election.” Hai Aojun said.

Haiaojun invited Shen Yi this time, and didn't hesitate to compete with the Chen family for this matter. He has now got some inside information, and this election battle may be of great significance.

Their Haifu now has hailingqing, but it's not safe to rely on hailingqing alone. So haiaojun set his goal on Shen Yi.

”I can't promise it.” Shen Yi shook his head.

”Shen Yi, you don't have to refuse in a hurry. I understand what you're worried about. You're worried about Xiahou's house, aren't you? Come on, invite them up.” Hai Aojun said faintly.

”Yes.”

Several guards withdrew.

Soon, Xia houlie and Xia houguang, with a bitter smile on their faces, came over under the guidance of the guards who had just retired from Haifu.

When seeing Shen Yi, Xia houguang's eyes flashed a touch of helplessness.

Shen Yi frowned slightly. He already understood why Xia houguang and his two were here.

”Shen Yi, the Xiahou family wants to ask you for help just to keep their noble status.” Hai Aojun said confidently, ”but it's just a small matter for me.”

”Xia houguang!”

Hai Aojun looked at Xia houguang and said, ”as long as Shen Yi agrees to fight for our Haifu, I can guarantee that this time, your noble status of Xia Hou's family will not be cancelled, but will be transferred out of Linyuan city to promote you to a second-class noble!”

”This...”

The change of Xia Hou Guang's complexion can promote their Xia Hou family to second-class nobility, which is absolutely a great good thing for them.

Before, he just wanted to keep his noble status. Why did he ever think of such things?

Xia houguang has no doubt about haiaojun's words. With haiaojun's position in the imperial dynasty, if he can say this, he can naturally do it.

”Besides, I will give you a fortune to make up for your losses. What do you think?” Hai Aojun said.

”Lord Hai Aojun, please. Our Xiahou family dare not refuse.” Xia Guang said in silence for a moment.

”Father.” Xia houlie's eyes flashed a touch of reluctance.

Xia houguang looked at him closely. Xia houlie could only sigh and retreat to one side.

”Shen Yi, now the Xiahou family has agreed. What else do you have to say?” Hai Aojun turned to look at Shen Yi and said.

”Chief Hai, they are just afraid, not really agree.” Shen Yi shook his head and said, ”I share weal and woe with the Xiahou family. Up to now, it's impossible to give them up at this time. Sorry, I can only live up to your kindness.”

”Shen Yi, you can think clearly. They can't protect you in the Xiahou family!” Hai Aojun's eyes pressed.

Xia houguang and Xia houlie's faces changed slightly. Half of the reason why they agreed just now was because they were afraid of haiaojun, and half of the reason was for Shen Yi.

With the strength of their Xiahou family, they really can't keep Shen Yi.

Xiahou Guang is not afraid that their Xiahou family will live and die together with Shen Yi, because their Xiahou family can have today, which can be brought by Shen Yi.

But they don't want to let Shen Yi give up a good opportunity for their own reasons.

Shen Yi smiled calmly and said confidently, ”I Shen Yi, why do I need the protection of others? If the Chen family wants to kill me, then let them come.”
