Several people were sitting around the table, chatting happily.
From Zong Dao's words, Li Xiaobai learned that a hundred years ago, the Zong family was a large family in the Aolai Kingdom, and even had a faint tendency to become the largest family, even more prosperous than the Situ family today.
It's just that the Zong family's style has always been upright and strict, and they will never do anything to hide dirt. Invisibly, they have blocked the way of many people.
While the lion was still taking a nap, under the constant bites of many large and small families, the clan changed from a big family to the decline it is now in just a few decades.
Some of the strong men in the clan were trapped and killed, some were expelled and scattered, and now only a few members of Zongdao's family are left.
"But now I am very satisfied to know that the elders of the clan are living well in the East China Sea and are not in danger of their lives."
Zongdao's face was very calm. After so many years of shock and having lived in both large manors and small thatched houses, he had finally adapted. Now he just wants to continue the family's legacy and has no other long-cherished wish.
"Hu'er is the only one that really worries us and my wife. We don't dare to ask for too much. We only hope that Mr. Li can teach Hu'er some tricks while he is in the East China Sea, so that he won't become a victim for others to vent their anger in the future.
tool."
Madam Zong said.
"Mom and Dad, my child will work hard to practice!"
Zong Hu said with a determined expression.
"These are nothing. I will build a training place in this mansion. Not only Zong Hu, but your whole family can use it for training. I believe that your strength will be greatly increased in the near future."
Li Xiaobai waved his hand and smiled lightly.
"I just don't know who Sister Yaya is, whom Zong Hu always talks about. Has she ever lived in this mansion?"
Li Xiaobai asked curiously, apart from this family of four, are there anyone else in the Zong family?
"Young Master is talking about Zong Ya, right?"
"That is my eldest brother's daughter. She has excellent qualifications. She has been living in the Zong family since my eldest brother was killed by the Situ family. I treat her like my own daughter."
"Today she is practicing in seclusion, in the woodshed in the backyard."
Zongdao smiled cheerfully and said that he would be very happy to introduce Zongya to Li Xiaobai.
Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty. Whether it is Zong Yao or Zong Ya, they are both first-class beauties. I believe that even a genius like Li Xiaobai will not be able to help but be tempted.
As long as the other party can be tied to the Zong family, maybe the Zong family can once again occupy a place in the Aolai Kingdom. After all, behind Li Xiaobai, he is the second in charge.
"Ya'er is extremely talented. She has been practicing in seclusion. She has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at a young age. It's a pity that our family does not have the resources to support her training, which has delayed this child."
Mrs. Zong sighed and said slowly, with a sad look on her eyebrows.
Not only Zong Ya, but also Zong Hu and Zong Yao can hardly afford the training resources. If this continues, they may have to sell the mansion in order to obtain enough training materials.
"Mom, your birthday will be in two days. Don't say anything depressing. My second brother and I are not interested in practicing. As long as we can stay with our parents and fulfill our filial piety, it's enough. We can give Ya'er whatever resources we have.
Just sister."
Zong Yao patted Mrs. Zong on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Yes, cultivation is the most troublesome thing. Hu'er's biggest dream in this life is to follow Sister Yaya and wait until death. With Sister Yaya's protection, there is no need to practice at all."
Zong Hu also nodded, with a serious look on his face.
"Yao'er, Hu'er..."
Mrs. Zong had tears in her eyes and some sobs in her throat, but in the end she didn't speak.
"I see. You two can rest assured that the resource problem can be solved by me. It's not a big deal."
"But on the contrary, now I want to make a deal with you two."
Li Xiaobai chuckled and said, the scene in front of him was indeed very touching, but he came here with a plan, and happened to help the Zong family. Judging from the layout of the third master's family, he should also be willing to help the Zong family.
"Young master, it doesn't matter. Although my clan is in decline, as long as it can solve the cultivation problems of the younger generations, there will be no ambiguity about how many spiritual stones we should give out!"
Zongdao said seriously, he was just waiting for Li Xiaobai's words. He originally thought that the other party could give guidance to his children to practice, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. If the problem of cultivation resources could be solved, he would be eliminated.
A piece of heart disease.
However, he couldn't help but have a question in his mind, was the other party really just helping the Zong family out of good intentions, and didn't he have other intentions?
"Haha, I see that the Zong family's residence is not big, but it has all the necessary venues. I want to temporarily divide the Zong family into two, with one half used for your normal life and cultivation, and the other half used as a loan.
How about I use it?"
"As for the cultivation resources, how about treating it as my reward?"
Li Xiaobai said with a slight smile.
"A mansion? That's no problem. I wonder what Mr. Li wants for my dilapidated mansion?"
Zongdao asked with some confusion. In his opinion, the other party should take the opportunity to ask for the spirit stone. His mansion was in dilapidated condition and had no value. What should he do with it?
"I'm going to open a store in Aolai Junior High School. The Zong family's residence is the starting point of the store."
Li Xiaobai looked calm and said slowly.
"Open a store?"
The Zong family couple looked at each other, their eyes even more confused.
It is said that the shops in Aolai Junior High School are almost a monopoly industry, and they are all in the hands of major families. Even if ordinary monks want to open a shop, they must pay rent to these families, or directly make their attitude clear.
Depend on the other party, otherwise the store will definitely not be able to open.
"Master Li, all the shops in Aolai's country are controlled by major families. They will not allow other people to share food with them, even if it is just an ordinary teahouse, let alone what the master plans to do.
The store was opened on the Zong family’s territory.”
"Let alone opening a store, even if it's free, I'm afraid no customers would dare to come and spend."
Zongdao said truthfully, he did not want Li Xiaobai to suffer losses, and this move simply put everyone at the forefront of the limelight. If the store is built, those families will continue to send people to look for trouble in the future, and it will be difficult to resist.
"It's okay. I'll open a shop and I'll bear the consequences. The head of the Zong family doesn't have anything to worry about. Just feel free to wish Mrs. Zong her birthday."
"This matter has been decided. I will transform the sect into a holy land for cultivation."
