The people in Xiaozhou Mountain had predicted correctly. The Qi family was indeed not prosperous. It was already a single generation of two generations. However, the son did not like to practice and went to study abroad. Even though the Qi family had been prepared for it, each of the two generations received two children.
There are only five disciples, but now, even including the wife who entered the family later, there are still not enough people.
After learning about the current inheritance situation of Prince Qi's Mansion, the people from Xiaozhoushan came back with the purpose of taking away such a large industry from Taihe Group through a contract.
Xue Chen didn't know Xiao Zhoushanren's plan, otherwise he would have expressed admiration in his heart. His calculation was really long-term, thinking of what would happen thirty or forty years later.
Glancing at the contract, Qi Yunshan's expression was not very good. He had known the contents of the contract from his father in his early years, so it was not surprising. But now a problem was placed in front of him. The inheritance of Prince Qi's Mansion was not even five years old.
people!
"You have also seen that now, our inheritance population in Prince Qi's Mansion is withering, and there are only four people. How about I change it to a four-person competition?"
"no!"
Almost in unison, seven or eight of the ten or so people in Xiao Zhoushan rejected the proposal. It was a joke. They just chose this opportunity to come back because the people in Prince Qi's residence were easy to bully. How could they agree?
When the people of the Ma clan and the Gray Immortal Sect saw this scene, they all showed a bit of disdain. Although the people of Xiao Zhoushan had the contract in hand, there was nothing wrong with doing so, but it still seemed too careless, which made people feel uncomfortable.
People look down upon it.
"But, there are less than five of us here." Ge Qinghong was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. Since her husband chose to fulfill the contract, as a wife, she could only go along with her husband.
She was also a little helpless. If it were her, she would probably just ignore the contract. With the Qi family's current hard work in Yunzhou Province, Xiao Zhoushan might not dare to act recklessly. After all, it is no longer a harmonious society compared to the past.
, practitioners are already somewhat unworthy of publicity, but if that happens, the reputation of the inheritance of Prince Qi’s Mansion will not be very good.
But the husband was a filial man and did not want to bring shame to the inheritance of Prince Qi's palace. He made this choice even though he knew the possible consequences.
The woman from Xiaozhoushan curled her lips and snorted coldly: "This is your business. If you have the ability, you can go to other lineages to find a helper. If someone is willing, I won't say anything."
Quietly, the conference room became quiet. Whether it was the four people from the Ma clan or the people from the Gray Immortal Sect, it was obvious that they had no intention of getting involved and remained on the sidelines. Although they despised Xiao Zhoushan's approach, now
The situation is that, if nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Zhoushan will replace the inheritance of Prince Qi's Mansion. In this case, the choice of name is just a matter of indifference.
The people in Xiaozhoushan were very satisfied with the current tranquility and all smiled.
It seems that a conclusion has been reached.
At this time, a person who had discovered Xue Chen a long time ago and was very unhappy spoke up and yelled: "Who are you and why are you here?"
The one who spoke out was not Xu Ming, because Xu Ming knew that he was not a cultivator, but just here to gain experience. Although he was unhappy with Xue Chen, he didn't want to make a fuss in public. The one who spoke out was with Xu Ming that day.
The young man who went to the Excellence Antique Store to buy Hetian jade.
At first, the young man didn't notice Xue Chen, who was sitting in the corner and remained silent. When he noticed it, he suddenly became unhappy.
The last time he wanted to buy some Hetian jade for setting up the spirit gathering array, but the owner of the small shop didn't appreciate it and refused to sell it to him. This made him feel very unhappy and resentful. Now he suddenly saw it.
, he was stunned for a moment, then he immediately scolded him after confirming that he had not misjudged the person.
Because of this person's rebuke, more people discovered that Xue Chen was such a "weirdo". All the people present were practitioners from four lineages, but Xue Chen was sitting there alone, which seemed very eye-catching.
, I couldn’t figure out Xue Chen’s specific identity and origin for a while.
Xue Chen was quietly observing the development of the whole matter, when he was suddenly scolded loudly by one of them. He frowned and immediately looked over.
"I remember you. You're not from an antique shop. Why are you here? How did you get in? You can come here too!" The young man continued to shout loudly, with a stern attitude.
There are naturally some peculiarities about cultivators. Just the momentum of this young man's scolding was very strong, and it was vaguely mixed with indescribable intimidation. If he were an ordinary person, he would inevitably be frightened and frightened.
Xue Chen naturally showed no fear, but more disgust.
At the right time, Qi Yunshan spoke up: "This is... a little friend of mine who has only recently started to come into contact with spiritual practice..."
"At first glance, he looks like a stupid young man who has not yet started. He doesn't know the rules and ran to our Gray Immortal Sect's territory to set up a spirit gathering array and absorb spiritual energy. He must have come to see the world." Xiao Bei, a young man from the Gray Immortal Sect.
He chuckled lightly.
Once they heard that Xue Chen was a newcomer who had just entered the spiritual path, some people didn't care.
"Xue Chen has also started to practice?" Xu Ming subconsciously clenched his fists, and an idea popped into his mind. He also wanted to learn the way of practice from Xiao Zhoushan. "In this case, I must surpass him!"
While the idea of competition arose in his mind, Xu Ming also felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have overlooked something.
Another person had an idea in mind, that is, the woman headed by Xiao Zhoushan. Her eyes lit up when she looked at the young Xue Chen.
If nothing else goes wrong, the fight will involve five people versus four people. They must have taken a big advantage. What's more, even four people may not be united... But the problem is that there is one person missing after all.
After losing, what if Qi Yunshan uses this as an excuse to turn against him and refuse to acknowledge it?
If there are also five people on the other side, then Qi Yunshan will have one less excuse and reason, and their Xiao Zhoushan will also win in an aboveboard manner, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.
"Ahem, Qi Yunshan, isn't there one less person in Prince Qi's mansion? Isn't there a little friend of yours here? I think that's all. Let your little friend be the last one."
"This..." Qi Yunshan paused, hesitating, "Isn't this good? Although he is my little friend, he is an outsider after all, not our Prince Qi's Mansion..."
"It doesn't matter, our Xiao Zhoushan just agreed, just like that, let him be the fifth person in your Prince Qi's Mansion." The woman of Xiao Zhoushan said hurriedly, and at the same time, she also revealed her thoughts, "Our Xiao Zhoushan has already
You are kind and righteous enough, I allow you to find outsiders, and when the result of the competition comes out later, don’t do that despising behavior, it will only be you, the people of Prince Qi’s palace, who will lose!"
"Of course, I, Qi Yunshan, will never do anything that damages the dignity of the ancestors of the Qi family!" Qi Yunshan said with a serious face, "But for this matter, I have to ask him if he is willing..."
Things changed so fast that Xue Chen himself didn't even react. He was originally a spectator, but why did he change his identity in the blink of an eye?
He had the idea of helping Qi Yunshan and his wife deep in his heart, but he didn't know how to help or the rules. And looking at Xiao Zhoushan's attitude just now, it was obvious that he wanted to bully the few with more, five against four. If he rashly
If he takes the initiative to stand up, how can Xiao Zhoushan agree?
But things are unpredictable, and the people from Xiaozhoushan offered to let him serve as the fifth person to inherit the inheritance of Prince Qi's Mansion. This...how can I really say this.
"Brother Xue, what do you mean..." Qi Yunshan looked at Xue Chen.
Xue Chenhun stood up nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Since they are so benevolent, how can they refuse? Brother Qi is in trouble, and I am willing to help. But I can only do my best if I can help."
Looking at Xue Chen, Qi Yunshan nodded gratefully, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. He and Xue Chen had known each other for a while, but he really didn't know much about Xue Chen's specific skills. From some of the investigations
From the information, it seems that they are somewhat famous among people with superpowers, but there is a mountain between them and practitioners after all. Most people with superpowers are already aliens if they have two superpowers, but among practitioners, who doesn’t have one?
Three or five kinds of spells? If practitioners didn't have the habit of forming a group, how could there be an organization of superpowers?
"Does he want to participate too?" Xu Ming's right eyelid twitched a few times, and he had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart, because in his memory, anything involving Xue Chen's figure would have the final result that he didn't want to do.
What I saw was as if Xue Chen had some magic power on his body.
Now, he naturally hopes that Xiao Zhoushan can win the huge industry of Taihe Group, but Xue Chen is on the side of the inheritance of Prince Qi's Mansion, which makes him feel a little guilty.
"Qi Hao, it's not good to ask Xue Chen to join the opponent. I think it's better not to..."
Qi Hao was the young man from Xiaozhoushan who was close to him.
Qi Hao waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. This kid has just started practicing. It's hard to say that he hasn't mastered any of the techniques. He is just a decoration."
"But..." Xu Ming still wanted to say, but no one listened. They all got up and prepared to go outside to compete. They sighed helplessly and thought to themselves, hoping that they were overthinking.
All the people from the four inheritance families came outside and gathered in an open space in the factory yard.
The woman from Xiaozhoushan took a step forward and nodded to the people of the Ma clan and the Gray Immortal Sect: "Today, I, Xiaozhoushan, will compete with Prince Qi's Mansion over the provisions of this contract. No matter life or death, the winner will be
Those who wish to join the Taihe Group will receive the Taihe Group. I hope that the two channels will serve as a testimony. In the future, Xiaozhoushan will definitely get along with the two parties in harmony and jointly strengthen the momentum of our spiritual practice in Yunzhou Province."
Xiaozhoushan had already set up a formation, and besides the woman, four more people stood up, three men and one woman, all about forty years old, and they all looked eager to try.
Xue Chen glanced at the people on the inheritance side of Prince Qi's Mansion, and narrowed his eyes when he saw the cheap uncle and senior brother. (To be continued)
