Chapter 1240: Same Sect and Different Origins
Luofu.
Luo Hu walked in a hurry, although he was leading the way for the guests behind him, but his face was gloomy at this time.
"I've already told you, I can't be the master of the business, everything will wait for the master to come back!"
Originally, the lord signed a cooperation agreement with the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, which was a great joy for their Luo family, but those people in the Xiling family, one by one, seemed to have pink eye, and they kept communicating these days, being reasonable and preventing their cooperation. This time, they came directly to the door, they Luo family, but they have never suffered this kind of humiliation!
Behind him, followed by Xiling Jie, Xiling Jiangkun, who were the heads of the Xiling Sect, and Xiling Qi, who was born in a separate family and has now become the left and right hand of the Xiling Young Master. Although there were not many people who came, they were all important figures of the Xiling family, and the scene was like a negotiation between the two countries.
The group walked into the hall, and Xilingjie also spoke in a flat tone:
"If I should say it, I have already made it clear to Master Luo. Today's trip is just to fulfill the promise to refund the liquidated damages for this cooperation. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to his son and ordered, "Jiang Kun, give them the things." ”
Xiling Jiangkun had been holding a wooden box in his hand, and at this time, Yiyan stepped forward and took the initiative to open the lid in front of Luo Yu.
There was nothing else in it, only a check, and it lay quietly in it.
Although the amount on the check was considerable, the coldness in Luo Yu's eyes seemed to have condensed into a piece of frost, and anyone could see that he was in a very bad mood now.
"Although our Luo family has indeed decayed a lot now, it does not mean that we have fallen to the same level as those small families, and we can be bullied!"
This anger can be regarded as a long-standing one.
Tiangongmen is in the world, and Luo Shenxing passed the assessment, which was originally regarded by the Luo family as an opportunity for the fish to leap into the dragon gate. Who knew that he had offended the Ninth Venerable of the Nine Shadows Palace, and in order to avoid retaliation from the other party, he had to choose to swallow his anger from then on.
If he failed to become famous in the world, he naturally could not lead the family to rise. Driven by the tide of the development of the times, the major domestic families are rising and competing for development.
Gradually, those sect families who had to nod their heads and look at their faces in front of the Luo family, now facing them again, their waists were straightened, and their heads were raised unconsciously. Although on the surface, they can still say a few words, but these subtle changes, the Luo family is clearly offended!
Respectfully, no more, fearful, no more!
At the beginning, they covered the sky in the country, and even the royal family had to rely on them. has enjoyed the glory of the pinnacle of power, how can he endure the shame of being subordinate. And now the Xiling Sect family has also become the first family that is about to break the contract and terminate the cooperation with them! As soon as this precedent is opened, is the prestige of their Luo family still there?
The anger that had been pent up for a long time, and the anger that was poked in the back by others, finally took advantage of this reason to completely vent out.
Xiling Jie greeted his anger head-on, still looking calm: "Steward Luo, first of all, I want to state that our Xiling family has no disrespect for the Luo family. It's just that the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other. ”
"Brother Gongsun, we have already found another partner in Tianji Country on our behalf, and the conversation between the two sides is very pleasant, and the contract has been signed. In the future, our business dealings with the Luo family can officially end. ”
Luo Crane raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression was cold: "Oh, it turns out that I found my next home, so I want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
"Do you dare to guarantee that they also have the financial resources of our Luo family, can they offer you such a high transaction price?"
Xilingjie smiled disapprerovingly: "Maybe the unit price is not as good as it is for the time being, but the most important thing in doing business is to be happy." As long as they do their duty, I believe that their turnover will also have a steady increase. In time, it will naturally be able to occupy a place in the mall. ”
Everyone in the Luo family sneered. A small business like that, even if its turnover grows for a lifetime, is it a fraction of that of the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce?
"And we can see it clearly," Xi Lingjie's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, crossed his fingers, and added sarcastically, "The Luo family is indeed suitable for cooperating with a merchant like the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce." Congratulations to both of us for finding the perfect partner. ”
At this time, an attendant of the Luo family couldn't help but interject: "Master Xiling, it seems that until now, your discrimination against the children of the split family has not been eliminated?
Xilingjie sighed. Ever since he publicly announced that he had drawn a line with the Two Lakes Chamber of Commerce, there have been all kinds of speculations, both openly and secretly. The most talked about is that he, the patriarch of the clan, is jealous and "pantothenic".
was originally a child of a separate family who was looked down upon by them, but suddenly turned over and became a world-renowned businessman. On the contrary, it is a clan that prides itself on having pure blood, and it has always been nested in such a small country, and it is not up or down. Because their hearts are unbalanced, they are not qualified to cooperate with others, so they have to prevent the cooperation of others, and they also hold high the banner of justice to attract contempt.
He knew that it was impossible to explain these questions to the people of the world, so he allowed the outside world to speculate, and as the patriarch, he never officially responded. But here today, since they have mentioned it again, there are some things that it is time to say clearly.
"I don't have any discrimination against the children of the separated family. Xiling Jie spoke slowly and calmly, "Including the old system of dividing the clan from the clan, it was abolished by me myself three years ago! But I want to reiterate that our Xiling family and Xilingchen are of the same origin and have different origins!"
"No matter how big his business is now, it will go against the ancestral teachings of our Xiling family after all. People like this are not worthy to be the children and grandchildren of our family!"
"I really can't do anything to him, but at least we can not recognize him! His name has long since been removed from the genealogy, and this is a joint decision of our whole family. ”
Nowadays, people still attach great importance to "recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors". The branch of Xilingchen has been wiped out, if he is not recognized by the sect, the spirit card will not be placed in the ancestral hall after a hundred years, like a lonely soul and a wild ghost, which is really a cruel punishment.
Perhaps from the moment he decided to give up everything to earn money, his future fate would be "so poor that only money remains".
He has no relatives, no friends, he can't really love people, and he won't trust the love of others. Because in his eyes, those people are only here for his money. It depends on whether he has a strong enough heart to face such a hundred years of loneliness.
However, whether it is worth it or not depends on the choice of each person. After all, this kind of life is also what many poor people are pursuing all their lives.
That's all I have to say, farewell. The words have been made clear, the liquidated damages have also been served, and the two do not owe each other, Xilingjie does not intend to waste time here, and as soon as he arches his hand towards Luo Hu, he will leave with the two young people around him.
Before they even noticed, there was a dark shadow floating strangely on the ground, mixed with the mottled shadows of the furniture, inconspicuous.
The next moment, that dark shadow suddenly broke out of the ground, and in front of the three people of the Xiling family, it slowly condensed into a human form.
"Stay. ”
He only said these two words.
But these two words also represent the attitude of the Luo family.
This person is the Phantom. The most mysterious and weird person in the Luo family. He can easily blend himself into the shadows, and can manipulate the shadows of his enemies at will. With such skills, whether it is attacking or stealth, he is a good player.
His personality is also very eccentric, and he usually speaks very little, even if he is a family insider, he can only barely guess what he means from his sporadic words.
With the appearance of the phantom, the people of the Luo family, who were still amiable in the hall just now, had already raised their blades in unison, aiming at the three people in the hall, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.
Seeing this, Xilingjie's face changed: "What do you want to do?"
"The two countries are at war, and they don't kill them, if your Luo family dares to risk the world's condemnation and attack us here, aren't you afraid of chilling other families in the country?"
Luo Hu smiled coldly: "Come to envoys, you underestimate yourself too much! You are not just envoys, you are the mainstay of the Xiling family." If you are all eliminated here, the Xiling family will completely collapse, right?"
"In the mall, it's either friend or foe. Since we are enemies, we will never be merciful. He raised a palm and spread it out to a few people in the form of an invite, but from the side, the edge of the palm was also like a sharp blade, "Master Xiling still thinks about it clearly, whether this covenant should be violated or not!"
Xilingjie's face was gloomy. In the end, he still underestimated the insidiousness of the Luo family. There were only three of them who came to negotiate, just with the mentality of "buying and selling is not benevolent", and at the same time, it was also to show sincerity to the Luo family, who knew that they were so ruthless, and if they didn't agree with each other, they would wipe out the three of them on the spot!
Things are not good now...... They are stepping on the enemy's territory, in addition to these open-faced attendants, I heard that the Luo family also has a group of "Yin Corpse Demon Soldiers" in the back, which is made of corpses, and is not afraid of injury or death. And all the hole cards of the Luo family, I think it will not stop there.
If there was only one of them today, and he was injured a little, he might be able to force his way out, but Jiang Kun and Xiling Qi were by their side, and with their strength, they couldn't cope with such a scene, and they couldn't ignore them, but they couldn't escape safely with them......
Could it be that today, is he really going to bow his head to the Luo family?
Continue to cooperate with them, and also acquiesce to them to continue to cooperate with that family traitor?
Xiling Jiangkun, who was babbling in the past, was unexpectedly calm at this time, he pressed his father's shoulder and comforted: "Dad, don't worry, I've already calculated, it will be their Luo family who should be robbed today, not us!"
Luo Hu also heard his words, and snorted disdainfully: "Joke, I want to see how you can turn the tables today!"
Xiling Jie saw that Xiling Jiangkun and Xiling Qi around him had firm eyes, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart.
Yes, the juniors are so brave, so their elders can't let them look down on them.
Isn't it the Luo family? Big deal, let's fight it here!
"Luo Hu, if you broke the contract first, then our Xiling family will not sit still!"
With an angry shout, the spiritual power around Xilingjie's body roared and operated, and it had turned into a formed energy gauze. The two juniors beside him also improved their spiritual power and were ready for battle.
Despite the overwhelming odds, they are fearless!
With spiritual power to protect his body, Xiling Jie was about to impact with all his strength, and his body suddenly stiffened without warning. He felt that his limbs were not listening, and he could not even move a finger!
The same is true for Xiling Jiangkun and Xiling Qi next to them. However, they looked inward with their divine senses, and did not notice any abnormalities in their bodies, but they did not know when they fell into the path of the enemy.
Phantom smiled coldly.
The problem is actually in their shadows!
Most people think that shadows only move with them. But to a certain extent, shadows are also capable of reversing the body.
Lock their shadows and they will also lose their dominance over their bodies and will be at their mercy.
With the phantom hand, the three members of the Xiling family can neither move nor resist, and it can be said that they have completely become fish and meat.
"Master Xiling, let me ask you again, do you still insist on breaking the contract?" Luo Que stared at the three of them gloomily, his eyes full of murder.
Xiling Jie rolled his eyes with difficulty, and saw that Xiling Jiangkun still had a unique confidence in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
The son is already a small success in the gossip division. Although he didn't know what kind of catastrophe he had calculated for Luo Jiabu, since his son said that he was sure, he, as a father, believed in his son unconditionally.
Looking at Luo Hu, he nodded heavily.
"Yes!"
The ability to move freely above the neck is probably due to the phantom's temporary removal of the shadow's manipulation. And after he answered the word, he felt his body stiffen again.
Seeing him so stubborn, Luo Hu laughed angrily.
"Good!"
"Good!"
I don't know what kind of glance he and Phantom met, and then, Xiling Qi, one of the three, suddenly moved his arm involuntarily.
It can be seen that he is not willing to be at the mercy of the enemy, and he is also trying to manipulate his arm with his own strength. But his shadow moved first, and his arms, like marionettes, stiffened inch by inch.
His hand was attached to the long knife at his waist.
With a "bang", the blade came out of its sheath, reflecting a bright daylight.
And Xueliang's blade is pointing directly at Xiling Jiangkun at this time!
