Episode 7: The Wind is Rising and the Clouds are Moving
This girl is Jin Xiu of the Jin family, the direct daughter of the Jin family. She has a lively and intelligent personality. Although she never fights with outsiders, she is the core think tank of the Jin family.
Jinxiu always had such a cute smile, she pursed her lips and said:
"It seems like something big is going to happen around here. Even your Xiao family will have to evacuate and relocate. Can you tell me what the crisis is? We, the Jin family, can also be prepared."
Xiao Jiang blew out a string of smoke rings and said with a smile:
"I don't think the Jin family is aware of the huge commotion at the Snow Peak in the Central Mountain Range. The Xiao family believes that they are not qualified to intervene in the upcoming Xuefeng chaos, so naturally they can only abandon the resources in the Central Mountain Range.
Without resources, if the Xiao family continues to stay in Tiandi City, it will decline sooner or later, so it is better to leave as soon as possible and start a new business with wealth, which will be safer."
Jinxiu smiled sweetly and said:
"I don't think it's just for this reason? Is it because the Xuefeng Rebellion may spread to Tiandi City and Fusheng City, so you decided to keep the Xiao family away from the land of right and wrong?"
Jinxiu is not an ordinary smart person, but Xiao Jiang only met her once. This was only the second meeting. It is a taboo for practitioners to have a superficial relationship and talk deeply. Even if Xiao Jiang doesn't care that much, he will not tell the truth.
.
Being able to see through is Jinxiu's skill. Xiao Jiang would not tell if he didn't know. Xiao Jiang still smiled. He raised his head and looked towards the second floor. At this time, a handsome man in white stood next to Jin Lan and looked at him. Xiao Jiang
He smiled and looked at Jinxiu and said:
"Dongping Zhang family, Miss Xiu'er, it seems that you have found a way out."
The Zhang family of Dongping Mountain is a middle-to-upper-ranking force among the Seventy-Two Mountains. These big forces dominate hundreds of billions or even trillions of miles in radius. There are many small forces who have taken refuge under their influence.
The Jin family is considered a powerful force in Tiandi City, but in the eyes of the Zhang family, it is an insignificant and small force, so it is normal for the Jin family to find ways to curry favor with them.
Jinxiu’s eyes lit up and she said:
"Young Master Xiao has a very good eye. He can tell at a glance that Young Master Zhang is from the Zhang family in Dongping, but this time they took the initiative to find the Jin family first."
There was a hint of pride in Jin Xiu's tone, Xiao Jiang raised his wine glass and said with a smile:
"Blessings come from misfortunes, misfortunes come from blessings. Miss Xiu'er, since you can see through the crisis at Xuefeng, you have to keep a peaceful mind. I've also eaten. If you want to talk slowly, I'll take my leave."
Xiao Jiang put down his wine glass and left calmly. Jinxiu's eyes were confused and she couldn't help but show a hint of vigilance. She had understood the meaning of Xiao Jiang's words. She got up and walked to the second floor. After sitting down with Jin Lan and following the man in white, Jinxiu smiled.
said:
"Mr. Zhang, this time you are here on behalf of the Dongping Zhang family. We brothers and sisters will definitely do our best to be landlords. However, the Zhang family dominates Dongping. We should come to this remote place for the ruins of the snow peaks in the central mountain range, right?"
Jinxiu directly confronted Mr. Zhang, her tone was calm but showed the stability of her master. Mr. Zhang nodded approvingly and said:
"Miss Jinxiu is worthy of being the Jin family's think tank. This time the Xuefeng ruins are related to Tao realm experts, not just my Zhang family. In the next few months, all forces in Xu Yuan will probably send people here.
The purpose is all possible Taoist skills in the ruins. Treasures are not among our considerations. However, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. It is still useful to ask the locals for some things.
My Zhang family is looking for you for a very simple purpose, that is, to learn more about Xuefeng. The more detailed the better. If I get your help, when the Jin family goes to Dongping in the future, I, the Zhang family, will definitely try our best to help."
Jinxiu and Jinlan looked at each other, Jinxiu smiled slightly and said:
"To be honest, we know very little about the situation in Xuefeng. In the past, half of the area around Xuefeng was controlled by the Xiao family and half by the Zhao family of Fusheng City. Although it is not watertight, we will not have any trouble to pry.
Even if the Xuefeng Ruins thing comes up, we will try our best not to come into contact so as not to cause trouble. I heard that three secret keys have appeared now, one from the Zhao family in Fusheng City. They have occupied the south of Xuefeng and are trying their best to decipher the map on the key.
Some people say that the second piece was obtained by Wanjinshan, but no one from Wanjinshan was found on the snow peak, and the third piece should have fallen into the hands of the Xiao family, but the Xiao family’s Palace Master Changxin was greedy enough
After he hid the secret key, it was taken away by Xiao Tianjue, the sixth elder of the Nine Kills Temple who was placed in the Xiao family. Eventually, the Xiao family had to evacuate Tiandi City to avoid disaster.
The Xiao family is like this, and our Jin family is even worse than them, so how dare we investigate the Xuefeng matter."
Jin Xiu said it, but in fact it was not said. At most, it just pushed the Jin family out of the whirlpool. Mr. Zhang nodded thoughtfully and said:
"What Miss Jinxiu said is absolutely true. Maybe even our Zhang family dare not publicize this dispute on Xuefeng, but the news on Xuefeng is probably something that all the forces want to know. If the Jin family has any new information, please let us know.
.”
Jin Xiu still nodded with a smile, but at this moment Jin Lan suddenly said:
"Sister, what were you and Xiao Jiang talking about just now? The Xiao family has moved away, but as the acting head of the family, why is he still in Tiandi City?"
Jinxiu looked at Jinlan with a hint of surprise in her eyes, she paused and smiled:
"He was just dealing with the affairs left behind by the Xiao family. He was forced to move his family and abandon the Central Mountain Range and even the Tiandi City. The Xiao family made a big enough sacrifice."
"oh……"
Jin Lan nodded, and Mr. Zhang beside him said with joy in his eyes:
"It turns out that the manager of the Xiao family is still in Tiandi City, so I'll go look for him. You two, I'll go ahead. Maybe I can catch up with Xiao Jiang and say goodbye."
Mr. Zhang hurriedly left the restaurant, while Jin Xiu looked at Jin Lan with a dissatisfied look on her face and said:
"Brother, do you know what trouble you will cause by being smart just now?
You thought you could build a better relationship with the Zhang family by taking advantage of Xiao Jiang's incident, but you never thought that this would bring trouble to Xiao Jiang.
One more thing, Xiao Jiang is a person who doesn’t like trouble. This time you gave him a lot of trouble for your own benefit. I’m worried that the Jin family will suffer in the future.”
Jinlan sneered and said:
"Suffering a loss? The Xiao family has left Tiandi City and is millions of billions of miles away. What if he, Xiao Jiang... even if he can recover his bones better than me? He is nothing in Tiandi City, am I still afraid of suffering a loss?
And tell the Zhang family that he is still alive. If the Zhang family benefits from this, doesn't it mean that our Jin family will have a backstage when we go to Dongping in the future? His Xiao family is far away from us, so what if he hates me?
,hehehe..."
Jinxiu shook her head and said helplessly:
"Brother, if you weren't my biological brother, I would have called you stupid a long time ago. Xiao Jiang's ability to sneak into the position of the Xiao family's talker is not only due to his current cultivation. I have communicated with him twice.
, he has a unique vision and is decisive in doing things, and he also has a kind of wisdom that scares me. If you mess with him, don't suffer a loss and not regret it."
