Chapter 1912 Goodwill
The personal experience told by Wu Laoliu brought a certain sense of crisis to everyone.
The key point is that the team has been here for four years and has not established any contacts with any major forces.
However, in Qu Jianlei's eyes, that was it.
He said calmly, "It's just a minor crisis. Haven't we experienced enough crises?"
"Crisis brings dangers as well as opportunities," Jia Shuiqing added. Perhaps this is an opportunity to deeply integrate into this world.
Jing Yuexin nodded, "It's really not a bad thing to have a crisis. We are born in adversity and die in comfort."
When Wu Laoliu heard these statements, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Hongye Ling would hand him over.
The possibility of handing over a living person is not very high, mainly because he has stayed in Hongye Ridge for too long and knows a lot of information.
Needless to say, he had never heard of the identification card for distinguishing friend or foe before. After all, he was an appraiser!
This identification card has very distinctive features, some of which he still doesn't understand and doesn't dare to ask.
Wu Laoliu even had reason to suspect that this team was most likely from other immortal cultivation circles.
Knowing this secret, he felt that the possibility of him being sold alive was slim.
However, the probability of Hongyeling sending a corpse out is still very high.
To offend two people just for a golden elixir... this is really not worth it.
Not to mention that he was just a servant, even if the real person from the Seven Stars Gate offended the Hundred Medicine Valley, he would have to give the other party an explanation.
Now it sounded like Hongyeling was actually planning to protect himself, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is a real big shot.
Then he took the initiative to speak, "If you gentlemen want to go to Zhongzhou, I have some clues."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, so they let the boss take over.
From the very beginning, everyone could guess that this guy had not confessed all the information he had.
Taoist Jiao also said that if he did not use soul searching and only used the restrictions of taming beasts, it would be impossible to know all of Wu Laoliu's memories.
But no one has much expectation for what he is hiding. Who doesn't have some privacy?
Qu Jianlei just asked nonchalantly, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Wu Laoliu shook his head and said, "I dare not speculate on your wishes without authorization. Master Jiao has not said anything."
He actually had some selfish motives in saying this, but people who have lived long enough should have understood that the more you do, the more mistakes you make.
Qu Jianlei didn't argue with him, but who doesn't have some selfish thoughts? Not to mention Wu Laoliu, even the team members have their own ideas.
As long as it does not affect the overall situation, everyone has the right to live their own wonderful life.
"How much do you know about Zhongzhou? Do you have any connections there?"
"I don't have any connections," Wu Laoliu shook his head honestly, "I haven't even been there, but I definitely know more about it than others."
"Then you should sort out the contents of your mind," Qu Jianlei said calmly, waving his hand.
Then he looked at everyone and said, "Be alert recently. Wait for Dorgan and the others to send back information, and then we will go and find out the situation."
However, before Duogan and others returned, four days later, another true immortal came to visit.
The person who came this time was Li Yuren from the Li family of Cuiping Mountain. He was the youngest Nascent Soul of the Li family and was only over 700 years old.
The person he met was also a paranoid, who stated straight away: The Yan family is an old friend of my Li family and a partner for generations.
In fact, the Yan family is just a fake baby and has no qualifications to discuss cooperation with the seven major families.
Only a family with at least one Nascent Soul can accept cooperation from the seven major families.
Strictly speaking, the Yan family is almost a vassal of the Li family, but when they were in the Nascent Soul stage in the past, they could barely be considered cooperative.
Among the family forces, except for the seven major ones, other large and small families basically have to make similar choices and stand on the side.
It is not a strict vassal and can have connections with many of the seven major companies, but there must always be a basic base.
No matter what kind of society it is, this is not strange. Those who are weak and frail must find a big figure to hold on to.
Obviously, you are just a small chess piece, but you want to keep to yourself, or even dream of being a chess player. You will usually die miserably.
The Yan family can be considered as an influence of the Li family. When encountering a situation, it is only natural for them to inform the Li family that there are some problems.
As a result, the Li family attached great importance to this matter. After learning the news, they immediately sent their youngest Nascent Soul to come over.
Before, a Jindan from the Li family had visited Hongye Ridge, but was sent away without any concern by the flower scorpion.
The Li family felt that this group of people were unruly and there was no need for them to feel too aggrieved. Since they could communicate effectively with the Yan family, they did not contact them again.
Li Yuren is now over 700 years old, but he can still be considered "young and energetic".
He said very straightforwardly that we don’t know what happened between you and the Zhao family of Nanwan, but we hope to resolve the problem through friendly negotiations.
If things can't be negotiated, the Li family is willing to help mediate.
There was a strong sense of confidence in his words, which vaguely expressed: There is a marriage between the Li and Zhao families, but we care more about our partners.
In other words, the Li family has a tendency.
If it weren't for the incident with Wu Laoliu, the paranoid guy would probably have just dealt with it casually.
However, the fact that Hongyeling was facing two opponents at the same time had begun to make everyone consider whether they should also win over some partners.
So the paranoid said bluntly: They want to buy one of our Jindan slaves, Wu Laoliu, and say he is Wu Minxi.
Li Yuren did not show any surprise, nor did he ask who Wu Minxi was. He just asked with interest: What next?
From this, it can be seen that the Li family should have heard about this matter.
"And then? Haha," the paranoid man smiled nonchalantly, "We captured him as a servant without considering whether he was a good person or a bad person in the past."
Li Yuren became more and more interested. "What should we do if Baiyao Valley comes to ask for it?"
"What we catch is ours," the paranoid man answered without hesitation, "If anyone disagrees, go catch it yourself!"
"Hundred Medicine Valley wants face, isn't the face of Red Leaf Ridge valuable?"
Li Yuren keenly grasped a key point and subconsciously asked, "Do you think we don't need to care about the attitude of Baiyao Valley?"
This is an extremely rare phenomenon. In the entire Dongsheng Continent, the twelve recognized top forces are five of the seven major families.
The Fourteen Factions are subordinate branches of the Five Great Sects. The Seven Great Families will not easily provoke them, but they are not really the top forces.
Now there are people who actually think that they can ignore the twelve top forces, even if it is just "one of them", which really makes people admire their courage.
"Why should we care?" the paranoid replied casually, "They are incompetent and can't catch anyone, so what does it have to do with us?"
Li Yuren became more curious, "Aren't you afraid that they will come and call you to account for your crimes?"
"We are right," the paranoid man said bluntly, "If others don't want to be reasonable, we also know a little bit of martial arts and sorcery."
"You dare to fight with Baiyao Valley? The Five Clan are of the same blood."
"Which side are you on?" The paranoid man rolled his eyes at him, a little unhappy. "Are you trying to put pressure on us?"
"That's not my intention," Li Yuren smiled and waved his hand, "I just heard that our partner encountered a problem, so I came to find out."
"Then don't worry," the paranoid man was a little annoyed with this guy and answered simply.
"We have no intention of dragging the Yan family into this, let alone the Li family."
Feeling slighted... Li Yuren blinked, "Does your intention mean to refuse our help in coordination?"
"Coordination is certainly... well, we welcome it," the paranoid man said helplessly, "but it doesn't matter if there is none."
His first words were spoken somewhat reluctantly, but there was nothing he could do because the other party came with good intentions.
If he refused too bluntly, it would not be in line with the boss's idea - to make fewer enemies and more friends.
The paranoid person doesn't want to say this, but a qualified team cannot just know how to kill, kill, kill.
However, Li Yuren understood half of what he didn't say.
He smiled and nodded, "If we can resolve it through negotiation, we hope it is better not to resort to violence."
"We are not responsible for this," the paranoid replied simply, "I will not offend others unless they offend me."
"Okay," Li Yuren realized that he couldn't persuade the other party and couldn't even decide on the tone, so he stopped insisting.
He took out a jade slip and said, "I came to your house rashly this time. I heard that you were collecting secret manuals. This is a small gift for you."
"Thank you," the paranoid man was quite accurate in grasping this step, "Mu Yu, bring me a piece of flawless crystal."
A figure flashed, and Mu Yu appeared, holding a flawless crystal the size of a millstone in his hand.
"Flawless crystal..." Although Li Yuren didn't want to accept the return gift, the Li family really needed this kind of material now.
"Thank you." He also raised his hand to collect it, then asked with a smile, "Do you have any more of this?"
"If I have more, I only share with my friends," the paranoid replied expressionlessly, "Those who are not convinced... can come and grab it."
"You," Li Yuren pointed at him and said with a smile, "You have an even worse temper than me."
After saying this, he left in a carefree manner.
After he left, the paranoid man asked, "Boss, do you think the Li family's behavior is instigative?"
He did not feel that the other party had any intention of provoking him, and he was basically certain that the relationship between the Li family and the Zhao family was average.
"It's highly unlikely," Qu Jianlei's consciousness descended, "It should be considered a statement."
"After all, he came here openly from Yanjiafang City, so there is no way the news won't spread."
"Does the Li family and the Zhao family really have a grudge against each other?" the paranoid asked again.
He had no interest in figuring out these things before, but now that he has entered the world of cultivating immortals, he finds that he has no choice but to ponder them.
This time, Qu Jianlei didn't even need to answer. Mu Yu couldn't bear it anymore. "Senior, you should be more careful. You weren't so stupid before."
"Between the two families, it's all about interests. If there's really a feud, who would want to marry into the family?"
Two days later, news finally came from Dogan and his four companions. They arrived at Sanheyuan and were stationed in the largest market town for a long time.
