8 PM, Sky Dome Hotel.

Besides Liang Hongyun, who acted as the middleman, three people from the Ye family came in total: Ye Cuiti and Ye Qingcang. One was Liang Hongyun's sister, and the other was an acquaintance of Lu Yuan.

There was also a sprightly old man whom Lu Yuan did not recognize.

"This is the head of the Ye family's Green Branch."

Liang Hongyun stood up and took the initiative to introduce herself.

"It turns out that it is Patriarch Cuiye who has come in person. This junior is terrified."

Lu Yuan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.

"Marine General, you're too kind. Please take a seat."

Ye Cuiting smiled and gestured for Lu Yuan to sit down.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Didn't Lao Hong say this was a mad dog? But it looks quite docile."

However, judging from Lu Yuan's actions, which were indeed quite reckless, Ye Cuiting dared not be careless.

Lu Yuan sat down next to Liang Hongyun, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although they both belong to the Ye family, the one he clashed with this time was mainly the Red Leaf. However, tonight, no one from the Red Leaf lineage came; instead, the Green Lineage took the lead.

It seems that Ye Hongxia was too embarrassed to come and see him.

But it doesn't matter, since Ye Cuiting is here, she can fully represent the Ye family.

"Regarding this alliance between the two companies, I wonder if you have any further thoughts, Xiao Lu?"

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was just right, and Ye Cuiting finally spoke.

This implies that Lu Yuan has tacitly agreed to the alliance.

That makes sense, since he did indeed have Liang Hongyun reply to the Ye family.

"I don't have any particular thoughts."

Lu Yuan simply said one thing and didn't make things difficult for him.

Although the Ye family's alliance was largely a cover-up, sincerity is the most basic requirement for any alliance.

Lu Yuan was willing to show this sincerity.

"That would be perfect."

Ye Cuiting's eyes widened slightly, surprised that Lu Yuan was so easy to talk to.

In fact, he had already prepared several premonitions in order to deal with the difficulties that Lu Yuan might bring.

Lu Yuan's quick and direct agreement made his efforts somewhat futile.

"In that case..."

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Fearing that Lu Yuan might change his mind or something might suddenly go wrong, he quickly signaled to Ye Cuiti.

Ye Cuiti stood up, picked up the bag placed beside her, and took out several agreements from it.

There are two agreements in total: one is an alliance, and the other is a statement on no longer infringing on the Lu Yuan base.

Each agreement is made in triplicate.

Ye Cuiti came over and handed it to Liang Hongyun, who smiled and passed it directly to Lu Yuan.

"Let me take a look."

Lu Yuan got up, picked up the agreement, and went to the outer room to check it.

Ye Cuiting and the others exchanged glances and then got up and left their seats.

Neither agreement was very thick, but it covered the basics and the omissions were irrelevant; there were no traps or anything like that.

After reading it, Lu Yuan did not hesitate at all and immediately picked up a pen to sign his name.

"Very good."

Seeing Lu Yuan sign, Ye Cuiting and the others exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Cuiting, representing the Ye family, also signed and affixed her seal on the spot.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Ye Cuiting and Lu Yuan shook hands, thus officially finalizing the alliance between the two families.

The agreement was handed over to Ye Cuiti for safekeeping, and the matter of issuing announcements and statements was now entirely entrusted to the Ye family.

Ye Cuiting was overjoyed and invited Lu Yuan to take a seat again.

"By the way, Xiao Lu, you and Qing Cang are old acquaintances."

While eating, Ye Cuiting suddenly spoke up again.

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile.

"We met in the D137 dungeon, it's been over a year, so we're definitely old friends."

"Qingcang is a good boy. He is very talented in swordsmanship and will achieve something sooner or later. Although he is not from our Cui lineage, I have always had high hopes for him."

"Brother Qingcang is indeed very capable, and I admire him very much."

"That would be even better. You two will have no problems communicating with each other in the future."

"communicate?"

"That's right. Since it's an alliance, communication and coordination are inevitable. Qingcang will be in charge of liaising with you on the Ye family's side."

"Doesn't that mean Ye Qingcang will also be forced to leave the city?"

Lu Yuan widened his eyes slightly, looking at Ye Qingcang with some surprise.

"What, you've offended someone in the Ye family too? How come you've been banished as well?"

"Well……"

Both Ye Qingcang and Ye Cuiting were speechless, wondering what kind of talk this was.

Indeed, the environment outside the city is harsh, and being stationed there permanently is truly a kind of punishment.

"It wasn't a punishment; I applied for it voluntarily."

Ye Qingcang spoke, his face serious.

"Although life outside the city is tough, it will also be a better opportunity to hone my skills. After all, I have fallen far behind Brother Lu, so I have to work harder. Besides, I also value the potential of the Northern Wilderness."

"That's true."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Over the past year, Lu Yuan's base has been thriving. In fact, the bases and strongholds of the seven major groups have long been connected.

The blueprint for the North Ham Acropolis has been laid out.

It is estimated that in a few years, the construction of Beikan City will officially begin. As a newly emerging city, it will become the focus of attention for everyone in Chongming Base City.

At the same time, it will inevitably bring huge benefits.

In fact, if it weren't for this, these powerful martial artists wouldn't be in such a hurry to take a bite out of Lu Yuan.

The stakes behind it are simply too high.

It's like an old, dilapidated house that's already been marked for demolition, and people are just waiting to get their money back.

"Actually, it's not just me. As far as I know, Xiao Buyun and Dugu Chongxiao have also applied to go to the Northern Wilderness."

"They're going too!"

Lu Yuan was taken aback again, then couldn't help but laugh. In this way, the Northern Wilderness would no longer be lonely.

It's just unknown what identities they will have when they go to the Northern Wilderness, and what kind of interaction they will have.

After chatting for a while longer, it was getting late, and the banquet could come to an end.

After all, we weren't really friends, and once we finished our business, we didn't have much to talk about.

Overall, though, everyone had a good time.

"Your car is here."

The Ye family had already left. Lu Yuan and Liang Hongyun stood at the door, and the car sent by the Shen family drove over to pick up Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan waved his hand, dismissing the driver, and smiled as he turned to Liang Hongyun.

"Can I ride in your car?"

"Do you just want a ride in my car?"

"I'd like to sit with you again."

He whispered something in Liang Hongyun's ear and then gave her a quick pinch.

"Who's afraid of who?"

Liang Hongyun snorted softly, displaying a defiant attitude.

A hotel waiter brought Liang Hongyun's car over, and the two got in and drove directly back to Cuihu Mansion.

After a year apart, the longing I've accumulated can't be contained in just one night.

When are you leaving?

A few hours later, Liang Hongyun asked a question, her voice tinged with reluctance.

Lu Yuan has almost finished what he needed to do since he came back, so it's time for him to go back.

For him, the base in the Northern Wilderness is now his true home.

"It'll be a few more days, there are still some things to take care of."

"so."

Liang Hongyun nodded, a hint of smugness on her face, and then extended two fingers.

"I want two more nights! No matter how many women you have, I want you to spend at least two more nights with me!"
