Too terrifying! Too powerful! Those people from the Galaxy Sect holding guns had no chance to fight back in front of these eleven people!

Xie Xiaoran and the others remained silent for a long time, unable to calm their hearts. They suddenly felt that they were not part of the underworld; instead, they were just playing house!

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Xiaoran somehow mustered the strength and sat up directly. He turned around to look at An Yiqing, bowed deeply to her while still sitting on the bed.

"Miss An, please join the Sanfeng Association! I, Xie Xiaoran, will treat you with the highest respect and never betray you!"

Xie Huan was stunned, Shen Tian dropped his phone with a bang, and Wang Mang, who was wiping his pistol, nearly pulled the safety pin by mistake. The others also stared in disbelief at Xie Xiaoran performing such a big gesture.

"Family Head..." Shen Tian spoke haltingly, feeling at a loss for the first time, and slowly turned his head towards An Yiqing.

An Yiqing did not seem surprised. She looked at Xie Xiaoran with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Give me a reason."

"You are very strong!" Xie Xiaoran, without lifting his body, changed his address for An Yiqing from "you" to "you" in a more formal tone, and spoke in a deep voice, "Ever since I became the Master of the Sanfeng Association, I’ve always hoped to restore its former glory. But as Miss An can see, with my current strength, achieving that is not easy. In these past few days, Miss An made me realize what it means to be truly strong. For the sake of my brothers, for the future of the Sanfeng Association, I must make a decision! Miss An, I admire your medical arts and respect your strength! I hope you join the Sanfeng Association and help me make a significant mark on its history!"

Xie Huan and the others felt their blood gradually boiling. If An Yiqing could join them, many things would be solved easily.

An Yiqing remained composed, glancing lightly at Xie Xiaoran’s lowered head, "Master Xie’s little plan is quite good. But don’t forget, I have the Xuanqing Sect at my back. If you want me to join the Sanfeng Association, what will you do when the Xuanqing Sect attacks Flower Island? Are you intending to hand over the Sanfeng Association to me?"

The atmosphere immediately turned heavy, reminding everyone of An Yiqing’s other identity, the Family Head of the Xuanqing Sect!

If she truly attacked Flower Island, they were destined to become foes.

Even Shen Tian, known for his ingenuity, was at a loss.

Xie Xiaoran remained silent for a moment, then suddenly lifted his head, eyes blazing as he looked at An Yiqing, "No! The Sanfeng Association is the effort of my ancestors and myself. To take it, you’d have to step over my dead body! However, if the day comes when the Xuanqing Sect truly attacks Flower Island, I will fight with Miss An honorably and with all my strength! Even if I die in battle, I, Xie Xiaoran, will have no regrets."

"Family Head..." Shen Tian’s eyes reddened.

"Dad!" Xie Huan struggled to get up, wanting to support Xie Xiaoran.

However, Xie Xiaoran waved his hand, stopping everyone’s movement. He fixed his gaze on An Yiqing, his deep, dark eyes filled with a plea, candor, and fighting spirit. He was not exactly a hero, but he dared to claim he was half a hero. Since the day he was chosen as the Young Master, Xie Xiaoran’s life belonged to the Sanfeng Association! No one would harm his family or brothers, even if that person was his savior!

He could give his life to An Yiqing, but if she wanted the lives of his brothers, he would never tolerate it!

Seeing the determination mixed with a savage look in Xie Xiaoran’s eyes, An Yiqing suddenly chuckled softly.

"Alright, I agree to Master Xie’s request and will join the Sanfeng Association."

Xie Xiaoran’s expression froze, his mind seemingly crashing. The others were the same, their bodies stiff, looking at An Yiqing with dumbfounded eyes.

An Yiqing pressed her brow helplessly, "What? Does Master Xie not welcome me anymore?"

"No, no, not at all! Absolutely not!" Xie Xiaoran immediately responded, trying to shake his head, but remembered he had just undergone a craniotomy, his confused appearance making An Yiqing laugh uncontrollably. Xie Xiaoran furrowed his brows in distress, "Miss An, I want to know why."

"Why?" An Yiqing blinked, smiling with the corners of her lips raised, "Because Master Xie’s answer satisfies me very much. I like people who value emotion and treat their brothers well. If Master Xie would have yielded unconditionally to repay kindness or due to my strength, I’d look down on you. That’s my answer." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Xie Xiaoran opened his mouth, looking at An Yiqing, feeling speechless. This girl had already planned everything in her mind, just waiting for him to give the answer.

"As for the underworld of Flower Island, I never intended to meddle. If it weren’t for Jiang Zirong and Jiang Xuerou not knowing their place, I wouldn’t bother with them. However, if I can have my people here, it will save me a lot of trouble. I dislike trouble, so those blocking my way should just disappear. As for the Sanfeng Association, I will join, but unless absolutely necessary, I won’t use my strength to help you. It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish; I believe making you stronger is more interesting than having a powerful aid. Master Xie, what do you think?" An Yiqing smiled at Xie Xiaoran.

Xie Xiaoran blankly looked at An Yiqing, her words echoing in his mind. Making them stronger... For some reason, his long-dormant passion suddenly started boiling.

"Alright! I look forward to the day Miss An makes us stronger! We will not disappoint you!"

An Yiqing laughed, "I’m only twenty-one this year, Master Xie, stop calling me ’you’; you’re making me sound old. Since we’re on the same side, just call me Xiao Qing. I won’t stand on ceremony either; I’ll call you Uncle Xie. Once you get to know me, you’ll find that I’m quite easygoing with my people. Of course, the prerequisite is never betraying."

Xie Xiaoran’s heart shivered, "An, uh... Xiao Qing, rest assured, I, Xie Xiaoran, have always considered loyalty a priority!"

An Yiqing believed this point very much. That day in the bar, Xie Xiaoran was on the brink of death, yet he still begged her to save Xie Huan. To treat an adopted son so well, Xie Xiaoran was very loyal. Looking at Shen Tian and the brothers who fought the world with him, they all held him in high esteem, willing to risk their lives for him.
