Seeing that Fang Chang spoke in such an understatement, Li Hu forced himself to calm down, otherwise it would appear that he, the elder brother, was quite ignorant.
"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like much."
He even echoed the sentiment.
'You really believe me when I say it's not much!'
Fang Chang couldn't help but remain silent for a while.
But since you are pretending to be cool, you have to finish it with tears in your eyes.
He silently sorted out his words and tried to speak in a calm tone:
"Well, although it's not much, since we are now the nominal masters of the Spirit Sword Sect, we must not lose even a penny of what belongs to us.
Mrs. Qin's mother-in-law, the Changsong Sect, was only the first to set their sights on the Spirit Sword Sect, but they were by no means the last, and I guess they wouldn't give up so easily.
Of course, none of this matters.
With you and me here, together with the Spirit Sword Sect's mountain-protecting formation, even if the foundation reaches its peak, it will be defeated and sink into the sand.
The key now is how to keep the Spirit Sword Sect’s share of the next spiritual stone.
Regarding the share distribution of Lingshi veins, a ranking will be conducted every ten years."
Li Hu also heard the problem: "You mean the next ranking is not far away?"
Fang Chang said: "Unfortunately, there are still two years left."
When Li Hu heard this, his eyes darkened and he murmured: "Two years..."
Then he said with a confident smile on his face: "That's enough!"
In one year, he went from a novice who knew nothing to a foundation-building monk today, and even worked with Fang Chang to cut off the head of a sword immortal who was at the pinnacle of the foundation-building realm and dominated the world with his combat prowess.
In two more years, even if he doesn't make the same progress as he has now, he still won't lose to his predecessor Qin Jing.
Not to mention, now that he has the cultivation resources of the Spirit Sword Sect, his cultivation speed will only be faster.
Fang Chang nodded as expected.
What he likes is Li Hu's self-confidence, or the temperament of a reckless man.
Among two people, only one Lao Yinbi is enough.
After all, someone has to take the lead.
"Okay, this problem is solved for now. Let's move on to the next question.
That is, Qin Ming, the monk who currently supervises the spirit stone veins for the Spirit Sword Sect, is Qin Jing's adopted son. He has part of the power of the Spirit Sword Sect, so if he wants to successfully receive the spirit stones from the veins within the next two years, he must be dealt with.
"Fang Chang continued.
Li Hu looked troubled: "Second brother, let me do what you tell me. If you let me think about this, you are not making things difficult for me."
Fang Chang cleared his throat and said: "I have prepared a plan for you a long time ago. There are two plans for now, you can choose one of them.
The best thing is for you to marry Qin Qing.
Qin Ming was loyal to Qin Jing and had sworn to be loyal to him and the Qin family for the rest of his life.
Moreover, he is also the third foundation-building monk hidden in the Spirit Sword Sect, and even the second master of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Therefore, the previous heirs were all of the Qin family's blood, rather than competing for the throne themselves, just to take care of this person's emotions.
Now you are not of the Qin family, but as long as you marry Qin Qing, you will be the uncle of the Qin family, and you can be considered half of the Qin family.
I think it won't be too difficult for him to accept it when he sees that the deal is done."
As soon as he heard this great plan, Li Hu shook his head violently.
"No, absolutely not. I will never marry her."
Being deceived by Fang Chang into seizing the Spirit Sword Sect has already made him quite uneasy. If he marries his daughter again, he will collapse.
After Mrs. Qin made this request and was forwarded by Fang Chang, he refused to agree to it.
"And it's not like you don't want me to have a relationship with that Qin Qing."
"Emotions are feelings, marriage is marriage, can they be the same thing?"
Seeing Li Hu's resistance, Fang Chang couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, the only option is to make the last decision."
"The next best option is for you to take action in person, force him to return to the sect in the name of the new leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, and then defeat him."
"Aren't you convinced?"
Li Hu asked.
Fang Chang put his hand on his neck and stuck out his tongue: "I have no choice but to kill him."
Li Hu still shook his head: "I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Fang Chang curled his lips and said: "I knew you would say that, so I recommend the next best option. After you subdue him, imprison him, and then let Elder Tang take over his position.
During this period, Mrs. Qin and her daughter can be asked to persuade him.
Based on my understanding of Mrs. Qin, she may persuade Qin Ming to pretend to surrender, and you can just accept him.
From now on, all the dirty work will be done by him.
Anyway, until Qin Qing grows up, he will most likely hold back and endure the humiliation.
Generally, this kind of person is the easiest to use, but there is a risk of backstabbing."
Li Hu thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "That's all we have to do."
"That's right."
Fang Chang said with a smile: "Now that these problems have been solved, it is time for us to share the fruits of victory."
He opened his clothes with a loud bang, revealing the densely packed storage bags on the left and right sides. A rough count showed that there were at least seventeen or eight.
"One for you, one for me, one for me, one for you, one for me, one for me, one for you, one for you..."
But in the blink of an eye, Fang Chang lost eight or nine storage bags to Li Hu.
"Although there are no precious treasures in the Spirit Sword Sect's warehouse, there are still plenty of spiritual stones and weapon refining materials.
Mrs. Qin and the others are busy fighting for power and constraining each other, which has given you and me an advantage.
However, if you take more, you will get more, and the quality and value are not as good as Qin Jing’s storage ring.
I suspect that the treasures inside have been divided among the three of them. Now is not the time. In a few days, I will make them spit it out."
Li Hu caught the storage bag, but he was not as happy as he imagined.
"Second brother, I suddenly regret it."
"What do you regret?" Fang Chang lowered his head and looked through the storage bag.
Li Hu said with some hesitation: "If I had continued to stay in Lingzhu Peak as my hunter and not entered this cruel world of cultivation, wouldn't these things have happened?
I'm so confused now, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.
After arriving at the Spirit Sword Sect, I will be asking myself tomorrow, am I what I want to be now?"
Fang Chang made a move: "Are you blaming me?"
"No, I'm very grateful to you. Without you, I wouldn't have seen such a wonderful world, but I wouldn't be able to adapt to it.
I used to think that I couldn't do it at the Qi Refining stage because my cultivation level was too low, but now that I have reached the Foundation Building stage, I find that nothing seems to have changed."
Li Hu's eyes flashed with confusion.
Fang Chang asked: "Then what kind of person do you want to be?"
"I want to be a...hero."
Li Hu touched his head and said with a bit of shame and longing:
"Isn't this a bit ridiculous? When I was a child, my favorite things to read were those Jianghu novels hidden in the corner of the bookcase.
There, the heroes and knights performed chivalrous acts of justice, made huge promises, and were admired by thousands of people.
Later, when I grew up, my father said that it was too dangerous outside, and my mother said to stay with her, so I never said this to anyone again.
Until I met you, you gave me hope.
I want to see what you call the new world.
But just now I suddenly discovered that I am gradually becoming the person I hate."
