The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World

The Nine Nether Holy Land was very efficient. In less than four hours, the Duanmu family had already received the news and learned about Li Yu. At this moment, they were holding an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Do you think Li Yu should be protected or not?"

"Li Yu is only an unimportant person. Why should we protect him? The assassination of the Nine Nether Consort was all his idea. It has nothing to do with our Duanmu family. He caused trouble himself, so he should take responsibility. Why should our Duanmu family clean up his mess for him?"

"That's right. Li Yu indeed shouldn't be protected. Protecting him is equivalent to completely severing ties with the Nine Nether Holy Land. Although that Nine Nether Consort said that as long as our Duanmu family is willing to protect Li Yu, they won't pursue this matter, who knows if she will let the people from the Nine Nether Holy Land deal with our Duanmu family in secret? Our Duanmu family's relationship with the Nine Nether Holy Land is already tense enough. We can't let this tense relationship continue."

"Because of Qian'er, we have already angered the Nether King and caused Cun'er to be expelled from the Nine Nether Holy Land and lose his position as the Holy Envoy. If we anger the Nether King again because of Li Yu, our Duanmu family will not be able to gain a foothold in the Holy Region and can be exterminated at any time. Therefore, we can't take such a huge risk for an unimportant Li Yu."

For the sake of safety, most of the people from the Duanmu family did not agree to step forward to protect Li Yu.

The Duanmu family head never expressed his opinion. After everyone was done, he looked at the silent Duanmu Cun and asked, "Cun'er, Li Yu is yours. This matter is up to you to decide. Whether you want to step forward and protect him or not, it's all up to you."

Ever since Duanmu Cun had been expelled from the Nine Nether Holy Land, he had felt wronged. A few days ago, he had even looked for Li Yu to drink and chat, expressing the hatred in his heart. Although he was more or less dissatisfied with the Nine Nether Consort, he had never thought of assassinating her, nor had he expected Li Yu to do so.

That Li Yu was really stupid. He actually dared to assassinate in the Nine Nether Holy Land, and the target was the Nine Nether Consort. Didn't he know that even if the assassination was successful, there would be a lot of trouble later?

Many people knew that his relationship with Li Yu was not shallow. As long as the Nether King sent people to casually investigate, he would know. At that time, the assassination would definitely implicate the Duanmu family.

Now that the assassination had failed, it had also caused a lot of trouble for the Duanmu family.

Duanmu Cun only thought about it briefly. His heart was filled with dissatisfaction with Li Yu, so he said coldly, "Li Yu and I are only drinking buddies. We can't harm the Duanmu family's interests because of him, so we don't have to care about his life."

At this moment, Duanmu Cun did not know that he had made a serious mistake today.

Xue Fanxin did not care what decision the Duanmu family made, because no matter what decision it was, the outcome of the Duanmu family would not change.

"Your Highness, if the Duanmu family is unwilling to step forward to protect Li Yu, do you just want to hang him?" Chuge asked curiously.

Muyu was also very curious about this, so she listened carefully.

"It's impossible for Li Yu to want to assassinate me for no reason. There's more or less the Duanmu family or the Duanmu family behind him. In my opinion, Li Yu is only a tool that's being used. Since he's a tool, the Duanmu family can use it, so I can naturally use it too. Send people to keep an eye on the Duanmu family and report the situation of the Duanmu family to Li Yu at any time. It's best to report the news of Duanmu Cun to him and let him know what the Duanmu family has been doing recently."

Xue Fanxin briefly sorted out the pile of spirit flowers that had been destroyed by the rain in front of her and answered Chuge and Muyu's questions. She did not put much thought into the Duanmu family's matters.

The Duanmu family was going to be destroyed, but the time was not right.

If they destroyed the entire Duanmu family because of Li Yu's assassination, it would inevitably cause gossip.

Hence, she wanted to play the Duanmu family to death in another way.
