Chapter 41 The Storm Is Rising! Infighting

…

In these days, Lu Xianghui also heard that there were many outstanding seniors and seniors who wanted to become Uncle Li Yao's followers. However, so far, no one has succeeded.

But he never thought that Uncle Li Yao would take the initiative to invite him.

With his heart pounding, Lu Xianghui suppressed his eagerness after thinking for a while, bowed his hands and said, "Uncle Li Yao's love and care must be engraved in Xiang Hui's heart. It's just that the followers must be of great help to you." It is worthy of recruitment. However, Xiang Hui has a shallow knowledge and mediocre blood, so I am afraid he will not be able to take on such a big responsibility. Only the genius is suitable to be the follower of my uncle."

He also knew that if he could become a follower of Uncle Li Yao, his life trajectory would undergo a huge change. Even the whole family will be able to ascend to heaven with one person.

But Lu Xianghui didn't want to be a useless person and drag Wang Liyao down. I don’t want to accept charity for nothing.

Wang Liyao slowly shook his head and said: "I have been following my father since I was a child, and I know that talent is easy to find, but nature is rare. Senior Brother Lu has a steady style, down-to-earth, and can stick to his heart in the face of temptation or danger. He is a rare talent. Li Yao invited Lu Senior Brother is not a follower for the sake of taking care of me, but because he really needs Senior Brother Lu's help."

In fact, facing such a big event. Wang Liyao will not take aim without aim. Before that, regarding Langzuowei’s ninth-grade family, the Longquan Lu family! All the information has appeared on Wang Liyao's desk.

As the saying goes, any family raises its own people. Although the Lu family of Longquan is weak, it is an honest family with strict family education and down-to-earth duties. The civilians within its jurisdiction have always lived and worked in peace and contentment, just like a paradise in the world.

Faced with such a sincere invitation, Lu Xianghui thought about it carefully and said, "Uncle Li Yao invites me like this, so Xiang Hui doesn't dare to shirk it. From now on, Xiang Hui will take the young lady as his guide and will not give up even if he dies."

As soon as this statement was made, the relationship between the followers was settled. All that was needed was to notify the relevant institutions of the academy and register them.

Such behavior is not prohibited in the academy. After all, a genius or a minor genius may recruit some followers. This is a time-honored tradition. Especially those great geniuses who will be all-powerful figures in the future. Who will not have a group of followers?

"Senior Brother Lu, please sit down." Wang Liyao asked him to sit down again, and her attitude was much more cordial. The relationship between followers and their master has always been one of honor and disgrace, and it is an extremely close relationship.

"Yes, Miss." Lu Xianghui sat upright with a serious expression. He understood that Miss Li Yao was going to arrange a "job" for him.

"You and I are both disciples of the academy, so naturally we must put the interests of the academy first." Wang Liyao said while drinking the spirit tea, "However, after all, we are also from aristocratic families, and we cannot not be dedicated to our family."

Lu Xianghui nodded and said: "What the lady said is absolutely true. In order to train me, my family has been frugal and has also delayed the future of many younger brothers and sisters." When he mentioned this, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes. color.

This is the tragedy of many lower-class families. With limited resources, it is impossible to cover everything, and there will inevitably be victims.

Langzuowei, where the Longquan Lu family is located, is extremely difficult to break because of the long history since the land reclamation and management, the class consolidation has become more serious, and there are layers of oppression between the aristocratic families.

To put it more exaggeratedly, the Ping An Wang family can still try their luck outside the territory. But the Lu family in Longquan is surrounded by cultivated land that has owners, and even if they open up wasteland and attack the ferocious beasts, there is no land left.

"Set up your home first before going abroad." Wang Liyao took out an identity jade pendant and said, "Our Wang family in Changning is rich in grains. As long as you take this jade pendant to the Wang family in Changning, someone will make arrangements for you. I dare not tell you how many there are. It’s not a big problem for Mr. Lu to double his income.”

Double income?

Lu Xianghui's heart almost jumped out of his chest because the family was so tight. Most of the family's income is used to meet huge expenses, and there is not much left over.

If the income is doubled while the cost remains the same, the Lu family will not have to live such a miserable life, and the younger generation of the family will also have the opportunity to develop better.

"In addition, I, Wang, have some shares in Shouda Trading Company, which also has a branch in Langzuowei. Children with more reliable families can also study with me." Wang Liyao arranged casually, "The treatment at Shouda Trading Company is not bad. The development prospects are also very good.”

Shouda Trading Company!

This newly emerged trading company has recently aroused heated discussions in the academy. The most important thing is that this trading company is very generous. It has contracted all the spirit birds and flying chariots in the academy, creating a new business field.

Many chariot drivers in the academy have experienced a sharp increase in income, and their usually unpopular profession has become a popular one. Even Lu Xianghui has begun to consider whether he should learn to drive a flying chariot as soon as possible so that he can have a good career in the future.

But I never thought that this popular Shouda Trading Company was actually related to the Wang family. And Miss Li Yao can arrange people in with just one word.

For a moment, Lu Xianghui was in a daze. Sure enough, the class gap between people was really huge. Miss Li Yao made some casual arrangements and changed Lu's fate side by side.

"Miss, then, what should I do?" Lu Xianghui was moved and wanted to repay Wang Liyao.

"Practice and strive to reach the Lingtai realm as soon as possible. Before that, improve your bloodline first." Wang Liyao said calmly, "Your qualifications are not bad. You are born to be at the peak of low-grade first-class. Under normal circumstances, one or two drops of stone marrow , or a fourth-grade blood-quenching pill, you can easily reach the middle-grade, and you can activate your bloodline in the Qi Refining Realm."

A drop or two of chalcedony? Fourth-grade blood-tempering elixir?

Lu Xianghui felt a little thirsty. These two things were worth thousands of gold. And all his current expenses for a year are only five to six hundred gold! If you don’t eat, drink or practice, it will take you eight or nine years to afford it.

Among the five to six hundred thousand gold, there are still two hundred thousand gold as a subsidy given to him by the family. In order to get the two hundred thousand gold subsidy, the family has done everything it can...

Before he could speak, Wang Liyao touched the storage ring and produced a few more bottles of elixirs in front of him: "Here is a blood-quenching elixir, which should help you break through to the middle level D level. Senior Brother Lu doesn't need more. I'll keep the account for you and pay it back after you succeed in your cultivation."

"Yes, Miss." Lu Xianghui took a deep breath, regained his composure and said, "I will definitely fight for Miss."

Wait until Lu Xianghui leaves.

Wang Liyao took out the package sent by her father. In addition to some training supplies, there was also a letter. These are all instructions from her father. The general idea is that now Shouda Trading Company has developed a situation and everything in the family is going well. She does not need to worry too much, as long as she practices well with Master Tianhe.

Wang Liyao understood that this was because her father was afraid that she would interfere in too many things at a young age, which would cause the senior officials of the Academy to have objections to her. And even if her master is Tianhe Zhenren, he may not be able to help her suppress the Qian family.

The Qian family of Longzuo is an established fifth-grade Zifu family. Their network of relationships is complex and deep-rooted. How can they be used casually to deal with them?

The competition with the Qian family cannot be decided overnight. Everyone just relies on their own methods.

…

same time period.

Longzuo County City.

In the commercially developed county, there are countless shops of all kinds.

In an ordinary-looking shop that sells some goods from the North and the South, a seemingly ordinary woman wearing a hood greeted us.

Under the cover of the waiter, the woman entered the backyard. After several twists and turns, she arrived outside the inner courtyard room. After taking off her hood, she was shocked to find that she was Cao Lina, the current Qian family's wife.

"Lina asks to see Grandma Jiu," she whispered.

"Come in." A soft voice came from inside.

Cao Lina walked in, and there stood a young and beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament in the side room. As soon as she saw Cao Lina, she said, "It seems that the Yuwen family has rejected your Qian family."

Her voice floated softly, like a fairy whispering in her ear.

As soon as she saw this woman, Cao Lina showed admiration on her face, bowed Yingying, and gritted her teeth angrily and said: "Qiu Aunt Grandma, we didn't expect that the newly promoted Fire Fox ancestor of the Yuwen clan seems to be the same as Wang. We have a lot of connections with the Qian clan. He actually beat out the elders of our Qian clan."

This "Grandma Ninth Aunt" is Cao Youqing, the direct descendant of the Liaoyuan Cao family. She was arranged by the ancestor of the family to enter the Lingyun Holy Land since she was a child. Now he is only a hundred or so years old, and he is already at the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm.

She is also one of the famous Tianjiao fairies in the Holy Land, and there are many juniors in the family who admire her endlessly.

Cao Lina also grew up listening to the stories of Grandma Jiugu, and she once wanted to go to the Holy Land to follow in her footsteps. It's just that the family needs her to marry into the Qian family of Longzuo to expand the family's influence. How could she, a little girl, have the ability to control her own destiny? Even though my heart was filled with reluctance, there was nothing I could do.

"It's okay. Since the Yuwen clan doesn't understand, let's teach them a lesson together." Cao Youqing said lightly, "After all, the Qian clan in Longzuo has huge commercial power, and they can still do it by putting all their efforts to suppress the Yuwen clan. of."

"Grandma Jiugu, all the elders of the Qian family are very cowardly." Cao Lina said angrily, "What is the way of the shopping mall, peace is the most important thing. A mere setback actually made their elders council unanimously decide to go directly to rebuild the old relationship with the Wang family. . The representative who was photographed turned out to be Qian Xuehan, the eldest son of the old man. If he was really asked to do it, wouldn’t it be a severe slap in Xuerui’s face? His status in the family would definitely plummet. "

Cao Youqing nodded calmly and said: "The Qian family is a businessman, who values ​​profits but despises appearance. It is not surprising to make such a decision."

"Grandma Jiugu, what should I do about Xuerui?" Cao Lina said nervously, "Originally, I wanted him to make a great contribution, and ask the ancestors to list him as the second Zifu seed, and use the family's resources to train him. But now... …If the Qian family and the Wang family rebuild their old relationship, wouldn’t Xuerui be relegated to the sidelines?”

"Grandma Jiugu, it would be a trivial matter if Xuerui and I cannot control the Qian family's right to speak. I'm afraid it will delay your and the young master's plans."

"Oh? It seems that you are quite keen." Cao Youqing said with a half-smile, "Tell me, what are the plans between me and the young master?"

"This..." Cao Lina hesitated for a moment, but then she mustered up her courage and said, "Actually, I also heard some small rumors. That incident probably only happened in the past two hundred years. Can you, Grandma Jiugu, do it? They secretly planned to let Xuerui gradually gain control of Qian's voice, probably because of that matter..."

The stakes in that matter were so high that even if there was no one around, Cao Lina didn't dare to speak too clearly.

"Forget it." Cao Youqing said calmly, "Actually, that person's longevity is not a big secret. Many families with good ears and eyes have more or less felt the undercurrent. However, all the old families are cunning. Fox, the reason why everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb now is because the situation is unclear, and secondly, they are waiting for a price."

"Then my aunt and our Cao family got involved so early..." Cao Lina said with some concern, "Will it cause danger to the family?"

"It doesn't matter." Cao Youqing said confidently, "I am from the Holy Land and have nothing to do with the family. Besides, my ancestors have already made arrangements."

"What's more, my young master is such an amazing and talented person. Even he is willing to support him. How can he have a low chance of winning?" Cao Youqing's eyes showed an obsessed and fanatical look, "I'm just waiting for you. You need to act according to the plan, and just plan slowly. Whether you and Xuerui can control the Qian family is just a small bargaining chip in the world's grand plan. Lina, I proposed this plan to the young master for the sake of you, mother and son. .”

"Don't let me down!"

Cao Lina was excited, and she suddenly understood that the chessboard played by Grandma Jiugu and those behind her was too big. Even if Qian's chess piece is lost, it is just lost, and at most it is just a little regret.

However, whether they can control the Qian family in the future is everything to them, mother and son. She was unwilling to accept that she was just a marriage tool, and she would be marginalized once her eldest son Qian Xuehan came to power.

She is not willing to accept that her son will only be one of the many elders of the Qian family in the future.

"Grandma Jiu Gu, I understand." Cao Lina's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, "As long as you and the young master are willing to strongly support Xuerui, I, as a mother, will help pave this road for him!"

Cao Youqing looked at Cao Lina with admiration: "She is indeed the daughter of my Cao family. Such courage is like that of our ancestors. Although entering the game early is risky, the benefits are also greater. I hope that in the future, Qian will be more successful in Xuerui's hands." Take two steps forward. As for support, with me here, how can I treat you and Xuerui badly?"

"Thank you, Grandma Jiu, for your advice." Cao Lina's brows were filled with joy. After Yingying bowed, she left, her heart burning like fire.

…

It is still the capital of Longzuo County.

Tianyuan Danfang.

This is the most famous alchemy shop in Longzuo County. It is said that the backstage background is unfathomable.

Many major events have happened in Longzuo County recently. Among them, Master Danding was hired by Tianyuan Danfang and became the worshiper of Tianyuan Danfang. Naturally, it caused a lot of turmoil and heated discussion.

The reason announced by the Master of Alchemy Cauldron to the public is that he needs to teach the new disciples so that he can take advantage of the environment of Tianyuan Danfang.

also.

Nowadays, the hot topic in Longzuo County is the spiritual bird flying chariot of Shouda Commercial Bank Branch. Now ordinary people can enjoy the core and personal inheritance of the academy as long as they are willing to spend a little money, and there are also flying chariots that can only be used by the distinguished family members. The chariot is gone.

It's just that most people don't know that the competition between Shouda Trading Company and Qian's Trading Company has begun secretly.

In Tianyuan Danfang.

The handsome Wang Shouye was glaring at each other with Qian Xuefu, who looked happy.

"Shouye, I never expected it." Qian Xuefu said with emotion, "I originally thought that you and I would not fall out because of competition and friction in the family business. But I never thought that in the end we still came to the point of The same step as fire and water. Fate is bad, fate plays tricks on people."

"Uh..." Wang Shouye said with an innocent look, "When did we become the same as each other? Senior brother..."

"Don't call me Senior Brother!" Qian Xuefu said inexplicably with a look of sorrow and anger, "If you still call me Senior Brother, you know clearly that I admire Senior Sister Gu, but you still want to drink tea with her and talk about the past and the present?"

"Senior brother, the relationship between me and Senior Gu is innocent." Wang Shouye shouted, "We just talked about some family business, and I already have a wife."

Qian Xuefu suddenly became energetic. He pulled Wang Shouye and said, "Brothers are still brothers after all. How can we have conflicts over trivial matters? By the way, what did Senior Gu talk to you about?"

"Business!" Wang Shouye shook his head and said, "However, Senior Sister Gu seems to be very interested in my fourth brother."

"What?" Qian Xuefu was shaken.
