well, apart from betraying the city, causing nie li to lose all his friend in his previous life, not to mention his family and the love of his life.
yep, he's got an eternal feud with your family.
I mean, the sacred family has a choice here. Betray everyone and be dicks about it, or don't do that and live longer for it. Surely they see the way things are going.
One way would be to honestly give up your ambitions about being City Lord (don't believe he ever will, he went as far as destroy Glory City since he couldn't achieve it).
They could just lie low too and stop being dicks, pretty much is the first option tho... so yeah.
That, or just die.
I find it kinda silly that Ziyun is Ye Zong's only child. It was mentioned that he has/had two wives. But then again, we haven't ever seen the second one.. so many holes.. xD
