In the small courtyard, Shang Yanfei sat upright in the main seat.

He was wearing a black robe, with long hair as blood, and still looked young and handsome. His children all sat down together.

Under the gaze of the children, Shang Yanfei took out a stack of animal skins from his arms.

There is a layer of patterns on each animal skin, which vividly depicts a certain dragon beast. There are also ink notes on the corners, revealing a strong wild and quaint aura.

"This is the Nine Sons Dragon Picture. My father was in an adventure in his early years and was lucky enough to obtain it from a body of a Gu immortal. Unfortunately, this immortal fate has never been a fate with my father. Even if I ask for advice from other seniors from the merchants, I cannot see it out. Now, my father will hand over the Nine Sons Dragon Picture to you one by one, hoping that you can explore the mystery and inherit the immortal fate."

Speaking of this, Shang Yanfei shifted his eyes from the animal skin and threw them on Shang Jingniu.

"Prison bull, come here." He called softly.

"Father." Shang Yuniu left his seat and walked to Shang Yanfei.

Shang Yanfei handed him the top animal skin: "This is the picture of Prisoning Niu. The reason why I named you Prisoning Niu is also due to this. You are the boss, you are mature and steadfast, and I feel relieved. This time, the resurrection from the dead is an incalculable treasure in your life. Don't let your father down."

Shang Yuniu stretched out his hands and took the skin: "Father, my son will do his best to not let you down."

"Yaozi, come here too." Shang Yanfei waved and called the second child again, "You should relax your horizons and broaden your mind in the future, which will be good for you."

"Yes, my son must remember his father's teachings." Shang Yazi took the animal skin with both hands and returned to his seat.

Shang Yanfei called his children one by one, radiated the Nine-Son Dragon Picture, and encouraged him a few words.

Shang Xinci sat there and was not summoned.

She carefully observed and found that the animal patterns on the Nine-Son Dragon Picture were different. For example, the Mocking Feng Picture was a divine beast sitting upright and looking up, with a noble momentum and inviolable. For example, the Pulao Picture was like a entrenched dragon. There was also the turtle, like a giant turtle, able to carry mountains and rivers. There was also the turtle, like a tiger, with a fierce aura.

There were only nine pictures of the animal skin map, and it was soon distributed, but there were more than nine children.

Shang Yanfei called Shang Tuohai again: "You have always been in charge of the caravan and have managed it very well. Then, for your father, I will hand over all this caravan to you. In addition, there is also a waterway inheritance, which is a daffodil inheritance. Although it is ruined, the contents are priceless to you. I hope you will still be self-reliant in the future."

A moment later, Shang Yanfei summoned Shang Yifan: "This is just a inheritance of the Five Transformations Gu Master, but there are clues to the inheritance of the Gu Immortal. What will happen in the future depends on your own performance."

Finally, Shang Yanfei called Shang Xinci's name.

"Father." Shang Xinci came to Shang Yanfei.

Shang Yanfei sighed and said, "My property has been divided, and only this small courtyard is left. I am kind, among all my children, you are the most unexpected to me. If you don't dislike it, just keep this small courtyard."

As soon as these words came out, there was a riot in the yard.

The children all looked at Shang Yanfei, and Shang Xinci. Many people wanted to speak, but found that they could not speak suddenly.

This was obviously Shang Yanfei's move.

So in front of everyone, Shang Xinci agreed calmly: "Daughter thanked my father."

After the family dinner, most of Shang Yanfei's children gathered in secret.

"Oh, my father actually handed over the courtyard to Shang Xinci."

"He doesn't let us object!"

"It seems that my father really wants Shang Xinci to firmly take the position of patriarch. What should I do?"

"This is so unfair! What are we getting? Some inexplicable things or broken inheritance. But what about her Shang Xinci? She is firmly in the position of patriarch. This position will definitely be vigorously cultivated by the entire family, and it is the seed of the Gu Xian!"

When Shang Yanfei was one of the young masters, he was jointly suppressed by several other young masters. Shang Yanfei had to give up the position of young masters and become an ordinary tribe. During that period of downs and downs, he lived in this small yard.

Later, he became the patriarch and kept it here in order to alert himself and his younger generations. Historic family banquets were held here.

Later, Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing had just come out of Qingmao Mountain to escort Shang Xinci to Shangliang Mountain, and they were received in this yard.

Shang Yanfei handed over this small courtyard to Shang Xinci, which was of great significance, which meant that Shang Yanfei handed over the position of patriarch to Shang Xinci.

Although Shang Xinci had already taken the position of patriarch, according to family tradition, he had to be appointed and transferred by the previous patriarch, so that he was the most orthodox and could not be blamed.

"My father is just partial!"

"Yes, he prefers Shangxinci the most. Where does this place us?"

"Everyone, are we just watching like this? She Shang Xinci is just an illegitimate daughter!"

"Hmph, after I die, you are too incompetent, and you actually made Shang Xinci the patriarch."

"I did not decide the position of the patriarch. What can we do with the above will?"

"If you want me to tell me, some of the seniors in our business are also a little confused."

"Shang Xinci and Fang Yuan have a mysterious relationship, I'm afraid that this is what the above thinks."

The conversation between the children came to an abrupt end.

After a while of silence, Shang Yifan said: "Fang Yuan did live in Shangliangshan for a while. But what kind of person is he? He is an existence that looks at the world, how could he care about the ants we are waiting for? The elders of the Shang family thought too much, and didn't see that Shang Xinci had not received any help from Fang Yuan for so many years?"

These words injected life into the dead atmosphere.

The other children were full of spirits on their faces.

They unanimously believed that Fang Yuan had already forgotten Shang Liangshan and other things. They were unwilling to give up Shang Xinci's position as the leader of Shang Xinci.

Shang Yifan continued: "Shang's heart is very kind, but it is not unmatched. As long as we join forces, we have a great chance of winning. We can completely differentiate her subordinates."

Shang Yazi laughed sinisterly: "We must work together to make Shang Xinci tired of dealing with it. I was fortunate to meet a strong man not long ago. If I could get his help, Shang Xinci would be frustrated and his reputation would plummet."

A few days later.

The atmosphere in the study room is solemn.

Shang Xinci frowned slightly. After listening to Shang Buli's report, he sighed deeply: "I didn't expect the situation to be so serious. In just a few days, it has swept from some slight signs to the entire market of Shangliangshan."

A few days ago, fakes suddenly appeared in the Gu insect market in Shangliangshan. These fake Gu are exactly the same as real Gu in appearance, and even if they are urged for a period of time, it will be as usual. But after a period of time, the fake Gu will be revealed and destroyed by themselves, causing heavy losses to those who buy Gu.

Fake Gu appeared in the merchant market and greatly affected the reputation of the merchant.

The matter was quite serious. Xiaodie was standing by Shang Xinci's side and was very dissatisfied with Shang Buli. She said directly: "Sir Shang Buli, you are responsible for the market. When things are done so, there must be a process. Why do you keep hiding them and not reporting them?"

Shang Buli snorted coldly in anger: "It's because my subordinates are too poor in their abilities, which disappoints you, Master Clan. The matter is so serious that my subordinates can't stand it. I'll resign. Please do not stop me."

"You!" Xiaodie was stunned and shouted, "Who do you want to scare?"

Shang Buli glanced at Xiaodie coldly: "You are just a maid, I have a lot of masters, so I won't care about you. The clan leader, please resign, please allow me."

Shang Xinci stared at Shang Buli deeply, his face calm: "Since that's the case, I'll agree."

"Goodbye!" Shang Buli smiled and turned around and left.

"He really left with a slap in his butt?" Xiaodie was stunned.

"Sir, Lord Shang Tuohai is looking for a meeting outside." At this time, Xiaolan reported outside the study.

Shang Xinci's eyes flashed for a moment, and he responded faintly: "Please come in."

Shang Tuohai came to the study room, saw Shang Xinci's expression, and nodded slightly: "It seems that you have noticed it."

Shang Xinci said: "Is it because of the position of patriarch?"

Shang Tuohai: "That's true. Shang Buli was in charge of slave trading in his early years and did a great job. Unfortunately, after you took office, you couldn't bear to do such cruel things, banning slave trading, and making Shang Buli manage the Gu insect market in Shang Liangshan. Shang Buli has been persuaded by others. This time, he also participated in the fake Gu conspiracy."

"This old thief!" Xiaodie was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Shang Tuohai said again: "Their plan is more than that. Shang Buli is just the first person to be divided, and more will appear later."

Shang Xinci nodded: "What do you want?"

Shang Tuohai smiled faintly: "I have the same identity as you, and I am also an illegitimate son. Even if you fall, I will not be able to take the position of patriarch. I will rarely come back in the future and will lead the caravan to explore most of the time. I also want to become an immortal! But I can't understand the family path. If you can become an immortal in the future, I hope to get a reward for my kindness as I told the truth."

"I've written it down."

"Goodbye."

Seeing Shang Tuohai leave, Shang Xinci's mood is very complicated.

In the years since she was in charge of the business, Shang Xinci has not only trained her abilities, but also broadened her horizons. In her opinion, among Shang Yanfei's children, Shang Tuohai is definitely the top three, and his character and talent are both temporary choices. Unfortunately, the opportunity is not enough and he cannot be favored by his masters.

"Fate has been destroyed, and the great era is approaching. Countless people are fighting for the opportunity to become immortals. Alas." Shang Xinci sighed in his heart.

Next, it was indeed as Shang Tuohai reminded.

Zhu Ba, Wan Qianshan followed and asked for resignation. Xiao Yan received the news that the flame Gu material he had worked so hard to appear in the distance, and he was going to search for it.

What news did Xiongdi, Xionghuo, Xiongfeng receive, and how to rescue their ancestors Xiongyanpo.

Zhou Quan and Wei Dexin "accidentally got sick", and both of them couldn't get up.

For a moment, almost all of Shang Xinci's capable subordinates left her, making her a lonely man.

The Gu masters who bought fake Gu gathered together and started causing trouble.

Shang Xinci had to lead Xiaodie and Xiaolan to the scene to preside over the situation.

"These insects are all fake. Do you merchants sell fake goods?"

"Since you are here, you said, what should you do!"

"I spent most of my money and bought one of your four-turn insects, but it turned out to be fake!"

"The merchant's Lishi Festival once a year, but it sells fake goods, which harms us buyers, which makes us unacceptable!"

"What's even more hateful is that the price is clearly marked and sold at a discount, but the result is actually a secret price adjustment, and the price is actually no different from usual."

Amid the anger of the crowd, Shang Xinci remained calm and composed: "The merchants will compensate double the price for any losses you have suffered."
