Book 1: Chapter 66: Dangerous thunder clouds are looming
In Liu Yongzhou's eyes, Miss Zhong was the most perfect young lady he had ever seen. She was gentle and charming, but in every word and gesture, she carried a faint ethereal aura.
Although she never revealed which Xuanwu clan she came from, she must come from a very noble family, as evidenced by her temperament.
Their Liu clan's eldest daughter looked extraordinary on a normal day, and two clans had come to propose to her. But compared to Miss Zhong Luoxian, she was like a peasant girl who raised chickens and ducks in the countryside.
Luoxian.
What a beautiful and ethereal name, she really seemed like a fairy daughter who accidentally fell from the heavenly palace to the mortal world.
She even ate spiritual fish, but unconsciously only ate the soft and tender parts such as the belly and cheeks, often just tasting the fresh flavor.
Things like the white jade spirit rice wine that he usually regarded as treasures, he dared not bring out now. The disdain and contempt in her eyes were still fresh in his memory.
The only thing that made him very angry and regretful was why he drank with that damn Zhao Dingtian on the boat that day. If not for that, he would be the only one to save Miss Zhong Luoxian in distress.
That damn Zhao Dingtian, Luoxian doesn't even like you, but you dare to come and pester her every day.
But he and Luoxian may not have many more days to be together. Luoxian's family's retainers have already come to take her back.However, it also gave him a piece of news, Zhong's clan seems to be short of food, and they are purchasing food from a big family in a certain Donghai guard, and the relationship between the two sides seems to be very close, and the additional conditions are not high.
"Yongzhou, tell us the situation." Liu Shengye frowned and interrupted his thoughts.
Liu Yongzhou calmed his emotions and roughly explained the situation.
"Could it be a scam?" An older clan member raised doubts, "Where are so many distressed young ladies in this world?"
"Third Uncle!" Liu Yongzhou was a little annoyed, "Don't slander Miss Zhong for no reason. I just happened to hear about it. Miss Zhong never brought it up. I just thought that Sun clan is unscrupulous, so I want to ask Miss Zhong for help and see if we can also purchase some food."
Zhong clan? Where in Changning Wei is there a clan with the surname Zhong? Could it be from somewhere else...
"Yongzhou, even if they are willing to sell, we don't have so much money to buy." Liu Shengye was a little embarrassed, "I don't know if we can buy on credit and pay back double during the autumn harvest.""Master, why can't our clan come up with one or two thousand Top Gold? I can't do this." Now it was Liu Yongzhou's turn to be embarrassed, feeling ashamed. He usually played the role of a wealthy aristocrat to please Luo Xian, especially when it came to owing money to his crush, how could he open his mouth?
"Well..." Liu Shengye hesitated and refused to speak.
After a moment of thought, Liu Yongzhou said with some surprise, "Could it be that my uncle..."
His uncle Liu Shenghao is the first sequence on the Lingtai Road that the Liu Clan has been cultivating vigorously. The clan has spent a lot of money and resources on this.
Fortunately, the Liu Clan's comprehensive conditions are stronger than the Wang Clan's, and when cultivating the Lingtai sequence, they did not squeeze the resources of other clan members too much. Therefore, Liu Yongzhou can perform so well and is considered outstanding among the younger generation.
If his uncle advances to the Lingtai Realm, the clan will inevitably expand its territory, and as an excellent junior of the Yong generation, he will have a chance?
He was overjoyed.
Liu Shengye said solemnly, "Since you have guessed roughly, and you are also a core member of the Yong generation, I will not hide it from you. But you must keep it a secret. Yes, your uncle has already made the final preparations, and the most critical 'Heavenly Spirit Pill' has been purchased, but two auxiliary elixirs are still missing to ensure that nothing goes wrong. If you can achieve great things... you know what I mean."
"Okay, okay." Liu Yongzhou suddenly became spirited. "Even if it's a bit difficult, I am willing to try."
The clan is a bit short of resources because they are about to produce an ancestor, which is quite normal and won't be too embarrassing.
Moreover, once the clan has multiple Lingtai ancestors, their momentum will be greatly enhanced, and with more resources, according to the clan leader's words, Liu Yongzhou may be the next one to be cultivated.
If a clan becomes prosperous, it may continue to develop at an accelerated pace like compound interest. Conversely, if a clan declines, it will naturally become more unlucky and encounter obstacles everywhere.
In Liu Yongzhou's eyes, the Liu Clan is a clan with an increasingly good momentum, while the Wang Clan is a clan that is sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire.
He was full of confidence, and after achieving great things this time, his future achievements would be limitless.
...
Two days later.
In the study of Wang Shouzhe's residence in the Wang Clan, after hearing some news, Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but laugh and put down the confidential letter in his hand. Then he thanked the visitor, "Brother Chen, thank you for your hard work.""Clan Leader Wang." The man hurriedly returned the greeting, his expression apologetic as he said, "During the last trip to the Hundred Island Guard, I didn't know your identity and was disrespectful. Please forgive me."
This person was Chen Fanghua, a member of the elite clan of the Chen Clan who was responsible for entertaining and guiding during the last trip to the Hundred Island Guard. He had experience in sailing and was smooth and delicate in his dealings with people, making him a very talented individual.
This time, in order to target the Liu and Zhao clans, apart from Wang Mei, the other members of the clan could not be used.
Fortunately, the plan required the use of the Chen Clan's power. After much thought, he wrote a letter to Chen Fangjie, asking him to support him in his work. Once the matter was successful, of course, the benefits would be shared.
With Chen Fangjie's personality, he naturally would not refuse to cooperate with Wang Shouzhe.
Even if the matter was ultimately exposed, he was not afraid of offending the Liu and Zhao clans with the momentum of the Chen Clan in Donggang and its unique and relatively remote geographical location.
As soon as Chen Fanghua arrived, he was arranged into the plan by Wang Zhongan. He and another Chen Clan member who did not appear much disguised themselves as the family members of Zhong Luoxian and came to look for the stranded young lady.
The plan was carried out very successfully, and Liu Yongzhou of the Liu Clan and Zhao Dingtian of the Zhao Clan, who were "best friends," had already taken the bait. The sniper plan had also entered the second phase.
"Brother Chen, there's no need to be polite." Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, "During the last trip to the Hundred Island Guard, I relied on Brother Chen's care in every way. It's actually me who should apologize for hiding my identity from you. Let's not mention it anymore. Just be careful with your safety in this plan. If anything goes wrong, we'd rather stop the plan than have any safety issues."
"This plan is ingenious, and our part of the plan is also very simple. We can't go wrong." Chen Fanghua looked admiringly and said, "It's just that Clan Leader Wang is very powerful. I don't know where he found such a fairy-like ally. Fortunately, I'm already married and know that she's yours, or I might have fallen for her."
A fairy? Heh heh~
Wang Shouzhe laughed inwardly. If you, Chen Fanghua, saw her true face, that would be shocking.
Huh?
Wait, Wang Shouzhe tried hard to remember what Wang Mei looked like, but he couldn't recall it for a moment. His mouth twitched slightly. Indeed, Wang Mei, the ordinary clan member, had too little presence, even less than an ordinary person.
After Chen Fanghua left.
Wang Shouzhe opened the secret letter that Wang Mei had written to him. The lacquer seal on the top had already been opened by him, but the news he had just seen was too shocking, so he had temporarily put it down.Now that he had carefully looked through it again, Wang Shouzhe's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, secretly thinking that the situation was not good.
The ranking of Liu Shenghao's spiritual platform path in the Liu Clan was not a secret. However, this person had always been low-key, and many times his existence would be overlooked. Moreover, not long ago, he had just revealed that he had just cultivated to the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
In the blink of an eye, he had quietly reached the peak of the ninth level and was secretly making final preparations. He had even obtained a Heavenly Spirit Pill.
Originally, the Wang Clan had estimated that it would take at least five years for Liu Shenghao to take the final step.
The Liu Clan had only been independent for fifty years, and its strength was growing stronger. While satisfying the development of the family, it was able to save up a Heavenly Spirit Pill so quickly, which was indeed not to be underestimated.
The talent and strength of Wang Clan's leader, Liu Shengye, were mediocre, but his ability to make money was not small.
Wang Mei's information should not be wrong, as it was the truth that Liu Yongzhou had revealed after getting drunk.
This was a common problem among many men. In front of their goddess, whom they liked but felt somewhat ashamed of their appearance, they would always try to raise their own value in the eyes of the goddess in order to gain courage and enhance their self-worth.
The Liu Clan could have another Ancestor in the Spiritual Platform Realm at any time, so what about the Zhao Clan?
The Zhao Clan had always been even more low-key than the Liu Clan. Perhaps by now, their Spiritual Platform Path ranking had already entered the final stage.
Wang Shouzhe's face was solemn, tapping the table and pondering for a long time. After a while, he wrote a secret letter order, sealed it with fire lacquer, and secretly sent it to Wang Mei.
This matter could not be underestimated. If not handled properly, it was very likely that the Wang Clan would face destruction. However, if managed well, it could deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
