Chapter 1928 Bluffing
Qu Jianlei never had the habit of betraying his family, even though Wu Laoliu was just a slave.
If you want to maintain your dignity, you must ultimately rely on strength. Peace is fought for, not begged for!
If he can't even protect his own people, he might as well just disband the team!
Zeng Family's Jindan was a little confused when he heard this, "Are you saying that you intend to withstand the pressure from the two sects?"
"You are not worthy of representing two sects!" Qu Jianlei said mercilessly, "Don't take yourself too seriously!"
This is very harsh to hear, but when a true immortal faces a true person, there is really no need to think so much.
Zeng Jia Jindan's expression could not help but change slightly when he heard this, but he still replied respectfully, "You are right!"
However, this person who has mastered the essence of the strategist will not be discouraged so easily.
"God, please be wise. We originally did not have any similar suggestions. If we want to gain a firm foothold, we still have to rely on our strength..."
"Stop it!" Qu Jianlei continued to interrupt the other party, "Such alarmist talk is all I have left."
"Just tell me directly. If you come here rashly, you must have something to ask for. What does your Zeng family want to ask for?"
Everything in the world has its own inherent laws, and this is the core of the problem.
He absolutely could not tolerate being easily frightened by the other party's words.
Zeng's Jindan's face straightened, "My Lord, my Zeng family came here with a friendly attitude. The previous tests..."
"If you can't speak properly, just get out of here," Qu Jianlei would not tolerate him.
"Tell me, how do you plan to gain the trust of Hongyeling? This is your last chance!"
Zeng's Jin Dan's face turned pale and then red, and then red and then pale again. It took him a long time to reply, "We can have a marriage!"
"Oh my god..." Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "What a bullshit!"
Xiangxue finally reacted after hearing this and looked at Zeng family's golden elixir with a strange expression.
"So your ultimate goal is to marry us?"
"Not only that!" Flower Scorpion also came to his senses, "I'm afraid he's still thinking about it and wants to eat away at the spiritual veins of our Red Leaf Ridge bit by bit."
"That's not my intention!" Zeng's Golden Core denied it bluntly, "Zeng's spiritual veins are sufficient, we just want to form an alliance!"
"Explanation is covering up, and covering up means it is true," said the Flower Scorpion slowly.
"I'm not afraid to tell you openly that I, Hongyeling, don't care much about this spiritual vein!"
"What you can keep is your own thing. What you can't keep is being kept for someone else!"
“Time is a long river, originally merciless. Only after the waves wash away the sand can the real gold be found!”
"Haha," Xiangxue smiled helplessly, then shook her head, "Such alarmist remarks, but he actually just wants to find a Taoist partner... Ridiculous!"
"That's not entirely true," Zeng's Golden Pill said angrily, "We do want to find allies... Oh, forget it."
Flower Scorpion ignored his explanation and said slowly, "Tell me, who gave you the advice?"
Zeng's Golden Core was about to explain, but Xiangxue coughed lightly and said, "For the sake of the jade slip, I can give you a friendly reminder."
“The person who gives you advice may not have good intentions.”
She was just caught off guard, and once she calmed down, she immediately performed at her normal level, defending and fighting at the same time.
"We... Alas!" Zeng's Golden Pill sighed helplessly, "In fact, no one has made any suggestions."
This matter was a bit coincidental. Hongyeling had come into contact with several forces, and many of them knew that there were many Kunxiu among this group of people.
However, the only family that knew that these Kun Xiu were all geniuses and whose bloodline was worth fighting for was the Li family of Cuiping Mountain.
A while ago, there were rumors inside Cuiping Mountain that Hongye Ridge was rich in high-level Kun cultivators, and each of them was a genius.
After all, the one who could scare Li Yougen so much that he turned around and ran away was also a Yuanying Kun cultivator.
Some people in Cuiping Mountain have been thinking about this matter - who doesn't want to give birth to offspring with high-quality bloodline?
However, Li Yuren issued a ban in the clan: Do not mention this matter to Hongye Ling rashly, otherwise you will be punished by family rules!
As a witness of the battle between the Nascent Souls, he knew too well how terrifying Red Leaf Ridge was, so he had to consider the matter carefully.
Some people don't quite understand this ban. They always think that if a powerful family like the Li family wants to marry someone, how could they be disliked?
Even if Hongye Ridge is stronger than Cuiping Mountain, cultivators always have to marry, right? Can they all be digested internally?
However, no one dared to disobey the orders of the Yuanying Patriarch, and they would only answer and make a few comments quietly.
As luck would have it, someone from the Li family married a daughter from the Zeng family and couldn't help but say a few words.
The lady did not dare to betray her family obviously, so she quietly passed the news to her aunt.
Her aunt is no longer a member of the Zeng family, but a Nascent Soul elder of the Qingyang Sect.
In the Dongsheng Continent, the power of the sects and families is not clearly defined, but is extremely complex and intertwined.
There are more than one or two family cultivators who enter the sect. In many cases, the main combat power of the sect comes from the family.
However, once one pledges oneself to the sect, one must cut ties with one's family, otherwise practitioners from other families in the sect will gang up on one.
If there is a cultivator from a family who is powerful in the sect and does not want to give up his family, the final result will definitely be tragic.
This kind of thing has happened before, and not just once or twice.
Even without external pressure, there will be internal strife and eventually the country will decline.
This Yuanying elder also cut ties with the Zeng family, but in private... he would occasionally secretly take care of them.
When the elder got the news, he passed the information back to the Zeng family - this way, neither the elder nor Madam Li would have done anything excessive.
The key point is that both of them can explain that they are solving the marriage problem for their natal family. Isn't this human nature?
Throughout the Dongsheng Continent, high-level Kun cultivators are a scarce resource and every family has an urgent need for them.
Unfortunately, the Zeng family discovered that the Qingyang Sect could hold Hongye Ling accountable, but they did not act in time.
Then, with the cooperation of the elders of Qingyang Sect, we can attack or defend, which is really a godsend opportunity.
As for whether the Zeng family is also eyeing the spiritual vein of Hongye Ridge, it is really hard to say.
However, what is certain is that if a marriage is formed, the Zeng family will definitely not give up if there is a chance to invade.
It was precisely because of the elder's presence that the Zeng family came all the way here.
Otherwise, this is not the Zeng family's sphere of influence. Are they stupid enough to come here at the risk of offending Cuiping Mountain?
However, the Zeng family trusted their clansmen's lobbying ability a little too much. After arriving, they put on airs and pursued the upper hand from the beginning.
The wishful thinking was too loud, and in the end it turned out to be superfluous.
Zeng family's Jindan did not explain all the circumstances, but only said that we heard the news from Cuiping Mountain.
After listening to this, Flower Scorpion pondered for three or four seconds before speaking.
"If I, Hongye Ridge, don't give you a light punishment for your false threats, I think it will encourage others to take chances!"
"That's not a lie..." Zeng Jiajindan wanted to argue, but in the end, he forced himself to hold it back.
He sighed, "Then punish me. My Zeng family really wants to find an ally, and you are indeed dangerous."
"You guys stay here first," Flower Scorpion said calmly, "We'll ask Cuipingshan to come and get the people."
"Cui Ping Mountain..." Zeng Jia Jin Dan's expression changed slightly, "How about redeeming yourself with two Jin Dan exercises?"
"There are too many untrue things in your words," Xiangxue said, adding that the other party has lost his integrity.
"The more you don't want us to contact each other, the more I want to contact you."
Five days later, Li Yuren came again. He complained with a smile on his face, "If this continues, I will have to live in Hongyeling."
"So happy?" the paranoid man asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't you come a few days ago... Don't say you didn't get the news."
"The head of the family is the deacon," Li Yuren answered casually, "I can come, but it's not easy to explain clearly."
"Then can you at least give me a hint?" The paranoid man said unhappily, "Isn't this even a small friendship?"
"Can Hongyeling be scared by these guys?" Li Yuren smiled like a big orange dog that had just stolen some dried fish.
"I feel cheated," the paranoid coughed, "I can't take the person away for free. I have to change him."
"Two books on the secret art of the golden elixir," Li Yuren answered without hesitation, "This eloquent man from the Zeng family... many people are looking for him."
This strategist is extremely famous. He has caused too many people to suffer losses, and they are all powerful people.
Many people have offered a bounty on him, but it is worth mentioning that he has been captured many times and handed over to the person offering the bounty, but he always manages to escape unscathed.
However, Li Yuren did not think that this person was difficult to deal with. "It's nothing more than some basic rhetoric to fool the ignorant."
The paranoid man originally wanted to ask whether those five potential enemies would be the real opponents.
But after hearing this, he shut up immediately - he really couldn't afford to lose face in front of that person.
But as soon as Li Yuren left, Qu Jianlei angrily scolded him, "I told you that you were smart, but you also fell for the basic rhetoric!"
The paranoid man was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Ah, so Li Yuren is going to play the same trick on me?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at him as if he were an idiot, shook his head and left.
The Zeng family described the situation as extremely critical, but for the next two months, Hongye Ridge remained calm and peaceful without any abnormalities.
This time, everyone really admired the boss's judgment, as he actually predicted that the other party was bluffing.
"What he said may not be false," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "others are watching our reaction."
"If we are afraid, the fake will become real. If we are really not afraid...the real will also become fake!"
"Just let it go like this?" Claire was a little angry. "He came to our house to show off. If we don't respond, won't we be a little passive?"
Qu Jianlei thought about it and finally shook his head, "Forget it, as one of the five major deacons of the alliance, Li Yuren can only swallow his anger."
"Boss, we need to take revenge," Duogan suggested, "Go block the Zeng family's door, just like you blocked the Immortal Ke Liang."
In her opinion, the team is gradually integrating into this world, so it is time to increase contact with the outside world.
"Ke Liang is just a casual cultivator..." Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, then nodded slightly, "But it's time for him to go out for a walk."
However, even if he went out, he would no longer choose to block the door. Some things can only happen once and not again.
