The strategy of caring for the elderly can be regarded as a last resort. It is a good idea, but it is a bit passive and cannot predict what changes will happen during this period...
Bai Qingqian had no other choice. All she could do was to send out the news, and through secret channels, seek help from Mr. Bai Erye in Jincheng, as well as someone who was unknown where he was.
.
The lack of hard power is the root of her current passivity. She originally wanted to use all the resources of Mirage Semicolon in business operations, but she neglected certain aspects.
... Outside the courtyard wall, Bai Yujiang and Bai Yuhai were looking forward to it, but they did not wait for what they hoped to happen, and there was no movement in the courtyard.
Bai Yujiang was disdainful, "Our seventh sister is also a rat. She has said a lot of hard words, but she doesn't dare to mean it. Did we arrange too many people and scare her?"
Bai Yuhai shook his head. This brother was just a fool and didn't understand anything. He had to explain to him to prevent him from inadvertently ruining things.
"I deliberately arranged so many people to stop this woman from doing stupid things; now is not the time for a complete showdown. A real falling out would not be a good thing for everyone.
Don't worry, everything has been arranged. My uncles and uncles are still rushing here. When they arrive, we will hold a family discussion and take over her status as the leader. Isn't everything up to us to take away?
They thought it would be fine if they dragged it on? Hey, it was already within my expectation!"
Bai Yujiang was overjoyed, "Second brother, and second uncle... If he comes, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth. My guess is that this woman must have spread the news through some way, but it's a pity that we came here too late.
It was so short that she couldn’t even cut off her hands and feet in a short time.”
Bai Yuhai smiled coldly, "Don't worry, Jincheng has already made arrangements. My second uncle is too busy to take care of himself, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come here."
The two looked at each other and smiled. After coming to the mirage for several months and making various arrangements, they finally came to the season of closing the net.
A high-ranking Taoist stood next to the two of them, with a arrogant expression on his face, "You two young masters, I have already told you that there is no need to arrange these people. If this spreads out, it will only make people laugh."
Bai Yuhai changed from his previous complacency, bowed politely, and spoke sincerely.
"Senior Xu only has a few days to go, and it can be as fast as ten days, or as slow as ten months. We have to block the way for them to secretly move their treasures, right? Don't worry, even a single spiritual stone will not be enough to promise them filial piety.
Less, if everything goes well, maybe there will be extra?"
He had to be respectful. Although the helpers he invited this time were not serious sect monks, they were all well-known figures among casual cultivators. They were suitable for this line of work.
They are both in the Tongxuan realm, and they are seniors to the two brothers. They are still dangling in the Bridge realm; this is also the reason why they are eager to gain control of the mirage branch so that they can allocate resources to prepare for their own advancement.
.
The so-called cultivation of Taoism by merchants like them is a different way. They are not dedicated to enlightenment and rely on hard resources. Although there is no hope of immortality, they are still sure of living for a few more decades.
The purpose of Taoist Xu's visit is to remind them that as guests of a business, this is also their way of making extra money; they cannot compare with those monks with backgrounds, so they can only rely on themselves to achieve their goals.
Rogue cultivators like them are not qualified to be island owners in the open sea, unless they become pirates, which is a precarious situation; how many people can really make such a determination?
Those who have the courage to go to sea, and those who don’t have the courage to stay in the mainland have the same purpose. They are just a choice between getting rich overnight and staying safe.
After getting a promise, of course you have to show your responsible attitude in front of the sponsors, disperse your consciousness in one place, and mutter something in your mouth. In fact, it is just for the two sponsors to see.
"Sha Laosi, what's going on there?"
There is no movement in the consciousness. This is the normal state of people like them. They are too undisciplined and undisciplined. They either sneak out to do their own things or practice self-cultivation.
But he still had to show that everything was under control in front of his two employers.
"Sha Laosi returned my consciousness and everything is normal."
Then he turned to another direction and said, "Wu Laoer, come out and answer!"
There was still no movement, which made Taoist Xu feel a little strange. As a monk, he still had basic vigilance. He raised his energy in his Dantian and turned to a pavilion.
"Wang Laowu, show yourself!"
His consciousness was like a stone sinking into the sea. Compared with the relatively narrow area of Bai's business, this is very abnormal. Even if he is deserting, we can't all be lazy at the same time, right?
Knowing something was wrong, he ignored the two financial owners and jumped up. He needed to hang in the air to see what was going on?
At this moment, an idea suddenly appeared in a corner beside him, and at the same time, a ray of light came straight towards him, so fast that it was impossible to dodge!
Fortunately, he was well prepared. He pulled out a magic shield in his hand and collided with the bright light coming from the side. The powerful impact caused his figure to retreat involuntarily in the air.
He saw clearly, it was a magic arrow!
But before he could take any further response, before the impact of the intersection of arrows and shields still disappeared, a shadow suddenly appeared in the light. It was a flying sword, hidden in the light of the arrows!
It's over, the sword cultivator came to the door. This was Taoist Xu's last consciousness.
The two financial backers were dumbfounded as they watched below. They were not advanced enough to judge the truth of the matter in the light of lightning. They only knew that Taoist Xu flew very gracefully, his big shield was very majestic, his clothes were fluttering, and he was full of fairy spirit.
As for the dazzling light, might it be a special spell?
It wasn't until Taoist Xu fell that the two of them realized that something was wrong. The next moment, a skinny figure turned around the corner of the building and walked slowly over, with a long bow slanted on his back and his eyes like cones.
It was as if the two of them didn't exist. He walked past them without squinting, as if they were nothing.
Then, he knocked twice on the courtyard door and said, "The disciples of Yanmen are here to collect the things promised by the master."
Bai Yuhai wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to speak, fearing that if he spoke, he would end up like Taoist Xu. Bai Yujiang was even more unbearable, trembling all over, trying to stand up straight, for fear of being discouraged. It will collapse to the ground.
They were still hoping that several other guests from the Anhe Chamber of Commerce would come to stop them, but there was nothing. There was no other sound in the entire courtyard, as if everyone was asleep?
The movement outside also alarmed the people in the courtyard. Bai Qingqian was not too surprised. That was the style of Yanmen swordsmanship that never changed.
"Yazi, you..."
Fang Yazi interrupted her, "If you need anything while I'm staying at Tongfu Inn, just come to me!"
This is said to Bai Qingqian, and also to Bai Yujiang and Bai Yuhai.
