Chapter 150: A Thousand Gold and a Promise
Late at night, Zheng Siying sat in front of the computer and applied a mask, waiting for the news to come, and it didn't take long for a pop-up window to pop up on the computer page, Zheng Siying took the video message, and her grandfather appeared in the video.
"Siying, how is it today?"
"There is still no progress, the old fairy still has a very calm attitude, by the way, have you checked Li Xuanji's information?"
"I've found it out, it's not easy to do."
"Hard?"
"It's very difficult, Li Xuanji is impeccable from the point of view of the data"
"Impeccable, I don't believe it, grandpa, you send me the information, I'll take a look"
"Good"
Soon, Zheng Siying received a piece of information, opened it and quickly browsed it, and had a general understanding of Li Xuanji's past, and sure enough, Zheng Siying also felt that Li Xuanji was difficult to entangle.
Generally speaking, they buy a person from many places, first look at their character, like money, that is the easiest, just give a lot of money, like women, that's even simpler, rich, what kind of beauty can't be found, even if you want a big Yanmar, it's not a difficult thing.
In short, it is to prescribe the right medicine, do what he likes, and give what he likes, but Li Xuanji is a cultivator, pure heart and few desires, and once had the opportunity to be popular on the video website, he also took the initiative to resign, and he made friends with the local tyrant Gu family and did not ask for any money, which shows that he is not good at money and lustful.
And Li Xuanji is an orphan, and his only master has passed away, so it seems impossible to start with his relatives and friends.
"Li Xuanji also has a girlfriend, it seems that this is the easiest breakthrough"
"It's more difficult, Li Xuanji is not an ordinary person, it can be said that he is also a master, but whenever you make any moves, he will be very vigilant, you can know from his information, someone in the evil way of the rivers and lakes has found trouble with him, and he has taken care of it, you have to be careful, I mean to go directly to the old fairy."
"But now I don't know what the state of the old immortal is, and the only one who knows the inside story should be Li Xuanji."
Zheng Siying replied that the old immortal was an extremely mysterious figure for the Zheng family.
Zheng's fortune was in the generation of Zheng Siying's grandfather, when her grandfather was still a child, it is said that Zheng's fortune was based on the credit of the old immortals, but the old immortals soon disappeared.
After more than 30 years, when Zheng Siying's grandfather was the master of the house, he once saw the old fairy again, and found that the face of the old fairy had not changed at all, and the old fairy was sought after by some big families.
So Zheng Siying's grandfather began to investigate the deeds of the old immortals, and finally found a terrifying result, that is, every ten years or so, there will be a rapidly developing family related to the old immortals, it seems that the old immortals picked them up single-handedly, and after holding them, the old immortals will disappear, and then wait for ten years to appear again.
In the process of investigation, Zheng Siying's grandfather found that there are many forces with the same thoughts as them, all of them are following in the footsteps of the old immortals, and they want to get guidance and help again.
The development of the Zheng family has entered a bottleneck, and the high-level officials of the Zheng family want to break through the existing environmental restrictions but are unable to do anything, so they pin their hopes on the hands of the old immortals.
"I'll think of a way again, now it's not just our family that has found the old immortal, see how others do it, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, they can afford the price, and our Zheng family can also afford it"
"Yes, but you have to be careful, those are not easy to mess with, we can't afford to mess with them"
"What are you afraid of, this is not Kyoto, they can't reach it"
Zheng Siying replied, the Zheng family has a very deep foundation in her hometown, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, what about the Kyoto clan, as long as she uses means within the rules, she is not afraid.
·······
"Sure enough, it's him, it's been fifty years, and his appearance hasn't changed at all, it's really enviable."
Zhang Wenyue was very excited to see her grandfather Zhang Yuntao in the video, because Zhang Yuntao saw that the surveillance at the door of her new house today took a photo of Kou Jing, and the high-definition camera captured Kou Jing clearly.
"Grandpa, is this old fairy really that godly?"
"Yes, you don't understand, the old fairy is more terrible than you think, he is a prophet, the kind of prophet of unpredictable prophets"
"Is there really an unknown prophet in this world?"
"Yes, this matter is what I saw with my own eyes, Wenyue, this is an opportunity for our Zhang family, you must grasp it."
"Grandpa, I don't know how to start this matter"
Zhang Wenyue replied, the family responsibility is on her shoulders, she is very confused, there are more excellent people in the Zhang family than her, she can't figure out why the family chooses her to come, and the Zhang family can do it to entertain people?
"Favor, your ultimate goal is to make the old fairy owe you a favor, a promise, Wenyue, you don't have resistance, really, do you know how much effort I spent to help you fight for this opportunity, grandpa dares to promise, if you do it, you will never regret it, and what you get will be an existence that you can't imagine"
"Grandpa, our Zhang family is not a top clan in Kyoto, why didn't those people from the clan appear?"
"They didn't dare to show up"
"Why"
"Because the old gods are too powerful, once a certain family gets the favor of the old immortals, they will overwhelm the rest of the big clans, destroy a political balance, and even affect the fortunes of the country, so they have a tacit understanding, no one can reach out to the old immortals, otherwise they will be attacked by a group before the thing is done."
"It's really that powerful, no wonder he said today that some people in Kyoto don't welcome him"
"That's for sure, because there are only so many resources, if one family gets it, the rest of the families will be reduced, and maintaining balance is what they urgently need, and the appearance of the old immortal is naturally not welcomed by them"
"Then will they attack the old immortals?"
"Don't dare, someone once did this, and then they decayed, and they have completely withdrawn from the Kyoto stage, the horror of the old gods is far beyond your imagination"
"What do you mean..."
"Shhhh
Zhang Yuntao shook his head, this matter is a taboo between the big families in Kyoto, and the family also wanted to get the favor of the old immortals, and wanted to use the magic powers of the old immortals to make layouts, but they couldn't ask for it, and they actually attacked the old immortals.
The end result was that all the killers sent out died, the old fairy disappeared, and the family was defeated within three months, and everything that happened during that time seemed to be a coincidence, but the coincidences were terrifying.
The defeat of a top clan within three months terrified all the clans, and the truth of the matter was erased, leaving only some gossip to circulate among the younger generation.
·········
"Dad, I can't stand it, what an old fairy, I think it's a liar, are you sure what kind of old fairy he is?"
Li Yutong yelled at her father, she really didn't have any face today, what kind of bullshit Li Xuanji, she didn't even enter the door when she came to the door, she Li Yutong didn't suffer this kind of anger.
"Yutong, calm down, where did your usual cultivation go?"
"Dad, it's not that I'm not cultivated, but they are so annoying, they ignore people, or let's use money to smash it, if one million doesn't work, ten million, if it doesn't work, it's 100 million, take out the cash and smash it until they surrender"
"Shut up, if the money is useful, will the rest of the families have less money than us, if the old fairy likes money, his net worth will be a hundred times that of our Li family.
Yutong, this matter is not up to your temperament, you have to win, this time I made a big effort to let you get this opportunity, don't let me down"
"Dad, why did you choose me?"
"Isn't there already someone next door to you, haven't you noticed that your looks and temperament have something in common?"
"Melon seed face, classical beauty?"
Li Yutong subconsciously said that her appearance has been talked about since she was a child, and her appearance and temperament also have a classical beauty, especially when she wears a cheongsam, just like the ancients.
"Yes, the old fairy once had a relationship, and his lover is a beauty with a very classical temperament, very beautiful"
"But even so, our Li family doesn't need me to entertain people, let's just invite a beautiful girl."
"You think too simply, you don't understand the old fairy's skills, he has insight into people's hearts, predicts the future, ordinary means are of no use to him, only love words are his biggest flaw.
Yutong, I don't care what you do, I must get a promise from him, his promise is worth a lot, after you do it, you don't care about what you do in the future, and I will fully support you"
"Really?"
"Really, this is your grandfather's decision, and this matter is related to the interests of the entire Li family."
"But our Li family is strong enough now, why do you have to do this?"
"Born in sorrow, died in peace, the five surnames and seven sects of the Tang Dynasty are powerful enough, even the emperor Lao Er ignored it back then, it is not the ashes annihilated, no matter how strong the Li family is, it is impossible to be strong all the time, modern society is different from before, the change is too fast, the slightest carelessness will decline and fall, our Li family is not enough to resist any risk, so we need information from the future, and the old fairy has this ability"
"I Still Don't Believe It"
Li Yutong replied, what an unknown prophet, she doesn't believe that there are such awesome people in this world, and society will not allow such awesome people to exist.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business, you just need to complete the tasks given to you by the family"
Li Yutong's father's tone became cold, the Li family's heirs are prosperous, but there are not many daughters, and Li Yutong is the only one who is eligible, otherwise he really wouldn't choose to let Li Yutong come.
There are many people in the younger generation who don't believe in the old immortals' abilities, even him, if he didn't know a lot of inside stories from his father, he wouldn't believe it, but the fact is that the Kyoto clan was impressed by the old immortals decades ago.
