Chapter Seventy-One: Cooperation
Lu Chen's words shocked both the head of the Lu family and Zhong Li, Zhong Li was surprised that Lu Chen's plan, for the rise of the Lu family, the plan he came up with was actually able to set the three major sects against each other without bloodshed, as he said, it was impossible for the Hengdao Sect and the Biyun Sect to let the Divine Sword Sect, which cultivated weapons, obtain such a large piece of Heavenly Falling Gold Essence, and they would definitely join forces to fight and strangle the dream of the Divine Sword Sect's dominance in the cradle.
And the head of the Lu family was shocked by Lu Chen's changes, and only felt that the son in front of him was a little unreal, not at all like the son of the Lu Qi in his impression, but he was a little shaken at the moment, if everything was really implemented according to Lu Chen's plan, then it may not be impossible for the Lu family to rise and truly become one of the overlords of Fengzhou.
"But the matter of you borrowing spirit stones to the Divine Sword Sect in front of the world can be regarded as openly standing on the side of the Divine Sword Sect, how should our Lu family get out? If it is really as you said, the three major sects start a war, the Heng Dao Sect and the Biyun Sect will definitely not let go of my Lu family, how can we deal with ourselves?" The head of the Lu family asked his own question.
"Also, our Lu family has never paid attention to the strength of our own cultivators, even if all these conditions are met, we can't recruit a group of scattered cultivators to fight the world for us, right?"
Hearing the Lu family's question, Lu Chen knew that he had been shaken, and replied with a smile indifferently: "What's the difficulty of getting out of the struggle between the three sects? The 30,000 Zhongpin Spirit Stones were not lent by me in the first place, so why should the Hengdao Sect and the Biyun Sect be angry with my Lu family." ”
Seeing Zhong Li frowning, Lu Chen looked at him and said, "Brother Zhong Li, let me ask you if you dare to accept these 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones?"
When the head of the Lu family heard this, he gasped, 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, only 300 million lower-grade spirit stones, just sent out for no reason, it is a little too generous! But thinking that if he can take it out of it, it is not a big price, but if Zhongli accepts this spirit stone, then the anger of the second sect will be involved in him, then it must be impossible to let it continue to grow, how can such a strong man protect the Lu family in the future, the head of the Lu family still has some doubts, but at this moment, he already has a lot of confidence in Lu Chen, waiting for him to continue to explain.
Zhongli was also a little confused, what the head of the Lu family could think of, he could naturally think of, just such a large sum of spirit stones, just given to himself, why did Lu Chen believe that he would not be untrustworthy, the two had only known each other for two days, and Lu Chen trusted him too much, which made Zhongli very puzzled, he did not respond to Lu Chen's words, and waited for him to continue to speak.
Lu Chen saw the expressions of the two, but everyone was not stupid, and continued: "Of course, if Brother Zhongli doesn't want to cause trouble, I have other ways to solve it, after all, I have been planning for a long time. It's just that this is my second sincerity, 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones are handed over, and I ask Brother Zhongli if he dares to accept them. ”
"Although Brother Zhongli wants to openly state that these 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones were lent to the Divine Sword Sect by Brother Zhongli, and he will be retaliated against by the Second Sect because of this, with Brother Zhongli's talent, he can apply to join Yanji City and thus get shelter. And there is no conflict between becoming an Elder of my Lu family's Hakqing and joining Yanji City. Just like the Yan City Lord of Qingming City, isn't that the case? He has fallen under the name of a certain adult in Yanji City, and he has created his own power Sun and Moon Alliance outside, but his forces will not be protected by Yanji City. ”
"Hahahaha! Okay, good, born like this, how lucky I am Lu Yuanping, this plan is feasible, this plan is feasible!" When the head of the Lu family heard Lu Chen say this, he stood up with a hearty laugh, and even clapped his hands and applauded, as if his back was not hunched, and he seemed extremely excited.
"All this you planned, it seems that you didn't ask my opinion, and made decisions for me privately, are you sure I will definitely help you?" Zhongli said suddenly, interrupting the laughing Lu family head.
The head of the Lu family thought that the two had already agreed, but when he heard this, he felt as uncomfortable as choking on a fly stuck in his throat at this moment, and couldn't help but look at Lu Chen suspiciously.
Hearing Zhong Li's words, Lu Chen bent down towards him, arched his hands, looked at Zhong Li with great sincerity and said, "Brother Zhong Li, as I said, even if you don't want these 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, I have other ways to get the Lu family out of this imminent turmoil." But 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, I still give them to Brother Zhongli privately!"
"As my father said, after the rise of my Lu family, it is impossible to rely on the recruited loose cultivation to help us fight the world, and if we want to gain a firm foothold in the future, we can only cultivate our own family power. So I'm here, I beg Brother Zhongli to become a powerful man in the future, and when he becomes a god, he can select a few teenagers from my Lu family to be apprentices and train them to the high level of the Yuanwu Realm, and I, Lu Chen, kneel down for Brother Zhongli here, and in the future, my Lu family will always be Brother Zhongli's back garden, meeting all the needs of Brother Zhongli!"
Saying this, Lu Chen was about to kneel, but was dragged by Zhongli and helped his hands up.
Zhongli saw Lu Chen's sincere eyes and didn't know what to say. He suddenly remembered what Lu Chen had said, life is a big gamble, and Lu Chen even regarded him as the most important part of the rise of the Lu family. Lu Chen's grasp of people's hearts is indeed very accurate, which makes Zhongli shaken, Lu Chen is willing to give him a huge investment when he is still weak, 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, it is indeed too tempting, this can also see Lu Chen's courage, he is indeed a person who can achieve great things.
"The most important part of the rise of the Lu family, Brother Lu Chen shouldn't put all the treasures on me alone, right?" Zhongli asked suddenly, looking into Lu Chen's eyes and making eye contact with him.
Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhongli is really a smart person, of course, I have also found a few low-level cultivators of the Yuan Martial Realm to help cultivate my Lu family youth in the future." It's just that compared to Brother Zhongli, they are naturally worlds apart. ”
Zhongli nodded, he was not angry, this was reasonable, if Lu Chen said no, then he would turn around and leave, seeing that Lu Chen was quite frank, which made him feel a little comforted and decided to consider this matter.
"This matter has a lot to do with it, can Brother Lu Chen let me think about it for a few days?" After Zhong Li asked this, he had already tensed his body, and even secretly mobilized the spiritual power in his body, he was worried that Lu Chen would force him to give an answer immediately, otherwise he would stay here, after all, the head of the Lu family was here, and there must be some masters here.
The head of the Lu family is a little overwhelmed at the moment, he is a decisive person, he has been persuaded by Lu Chen, Zhongli is indispensable as a member of the plan. He looked at Lu Chen, his eyes asking if he wanted to keep Zhongli.
Lu Chen didn't see the hint from the head of the Lu family, and said with a chuckle: "Naturally, such an important matter, Brother Zhongli will definitely not be able to digest it for a while, Brother Zhongli can go back and think about it slowly for a few days, I will wait for Brother Zhongli's good news." ”
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he spread out his palms and signaled that Zhongli could leave at any time.
Zhongli nodded, and slowly walked to the door, actually on guard, until he left the inn and called a carriage to leave slowly, which was a lot more steady.
"Just let him go, is it really okay?" The head of the Lu family looked at Zhongli who was slowly leaving through the window, and asked with some concern, he may not have realized that since Lu Chen's words, he has no opinion on this matter, and he is asking Lu Chen's opinion on everything.
Lu Chen sat at the table at this time, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and said lightly: "He will agree, even if I, Lu Chen, see the wrong person, am I not ready for everything in Qingming City for the past few years? His appearance is amazing to me, but how can I not have other back-ups, does my father still think that I really ran out of anger with you because of some trivial matters at this time?." ”
When the head of the Lu family heard this, he was completely relieved, and at this moment he found that he really didn't know anything about this son, such a powerful ambition and sophisticated strategy made him feel as if he had seen the moment when the Lu family was led by Lu Chen to the overlord of Fengzhou.
Returning to the Su Academy, Zhongli began to think about the pros and cons, whether to cooperate with the Lu family, if he agreed to Lu Chen, then he would no longer have to worry about cultivation resources in the future, after all, the Lu family's financial resources were considered one of the top forces in Fengzhou, and they could even compete with the three major sects. But after that, he and the Lu family will be completely tied together, sharing honor and disgrace, which makes him a little embarrassed.
Zhongli has strong confidence in his future prospects, but it is not enough to be strong himself, he thought of what happened to Sunset City that Lu Chen said, and he was worried about whether Chongming Bird had also been poisoned, and whether the infatuated mortal warrior Cao Chun was still alive. also remembered the fat man whose life and death were unknown, as well as Ma Jun and Mu Yuxuan, who met in the Lingkuang area.
There are so many friends whose fate is uncertain and their whereabouts are unknown, and he will make more friends in the future, and he can't protect them on his own. He didn't want to lose any important people in the future, he wanted to have his own power, find friends for him, and be able to shelter them in the future. So he decided to choose to cooperate with the Lu family.
It's just that he has already returned to the Su Courtyard, so naturally it is impossible to go back to find Lu Chen, and he is not in a hurry, wait for two days to see if Lu Chen is sincere and whether he will regret it.
