The moment he came to his senses, Lu Si's first thought was to tell the consortium the news of Li Qi's betrayal. Once again, he overcame the temptation to surrender, and began to realize that even if he named the consortium, he would not make his crime much less, and even invite death.

He jerked over to the door and pulled it open, only to have two black holes aimed at his chest. Lu Si hurriedly raised his hands and said to the guards at the door: "There was something that Li Qi didn't explain clearly when he came just now, can you let me call the consortium?" Just one word......"

"Go back!" The guard put the cold muzzle on Lu Si's chest, and slammed it hard, causing Lu Si's chest to hurt, but there was no way, so he could only take two steps back and continue: "Isn't it okay to just say a word?" You can arrange for someone to spy on me. ”

"According to the regulations, you do not have the right to communicate with the outside world, and since you have already violated the law once, according to the regulations, we also have the right not to report to the above, and call when you say call? Who do you think you are? Go back and stay honest with me! The guard viciously pushed Lu Si back into the room.

"Bang!" The door was tightly closed, and Lu Si stood in place for a long time, then walked to the side of the sofa with some disappointment, sat down quietly, and let out a long sigh in the dark, after all, he still couldn't pass the news of Li Qi's rebellion to the family.

But Lu Si regretted that it was not that he did not wake up the family, what he was worried about was the series of reactions caused by Li Qi's betrayal, as well as the attitude of the consortium towards him. Lu Si had no doubt that the family would know about Li Qi's betrayal sooner or later, and at that moment, he would naturally know that Lu Si had already noticed this change.

So why didn't Lu Si speak out to remind the consortium family?

Ann whispers! Ann whispers! Lu Si smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that he was already a plaything in the cage, no matter what he did, he was under An Xiaoyu's control, Qin Wei's arrival, external communications, Li Qi's rebellion, and the last one were all in An Xiaoyu's plan.

So Lu Si opened the door again, looked at the threatening eyes of the two guards opposite, but did not flinch at all, but looked directly into their eyes, and said indifferently: "I want to see An Xiaoyu!" ”

The two guards glanced at each other and nodded at Lu Si.

Qin Ku sat at the table and ate slowly. As the head of the Qin family, the leader of the consortium, although Qin Ku is old, his body is still healthy, and few people in the Qin family are born with cultivation talents, so the head of the Qin Ku family has not cultivated in his body.

This is the sorrow of other families, with the opening of the great world of cultivation, the practice of the whole people will inevitably begin to form a trend, and the people of these families, a large mess of genes are placed here, if they do not encourage their children to find cultivators to marry, they will definitely still maintain this state of no cultivation genes in the future, and they will be left behind in the great world of cultivation.

But if you want to find outsiders to marry, then the core position of the capital rights will inevitably become loose, because after all, there are more outsiders, and the control over the family will be weakened. As more and more cultivators become more and more, the core rights will inevitably become a struggle for cultivation, and it will easily deteriorate.

It's a difficult thing to balance, and all the non-cultivators are looking for a solution, and even some of them have begun to approach the sects, to the cultivators, to find out the secrets that they have controlled over the cultivators for thousands of years.

The people of these families are bound to return in vain, because in the empire, any family of cultivators is a cultivator who has been passed down from thousands of years ago. They have a complete lineage, and even have a corresponding philosophical thought, and they restrain themselves because of their desire for the highest state of cultivation and the difference in family concepts.

And these families, who have gone through many years of secular development, have solidified their interests, reputation, and status in their hearts. The young people cultivated by these families will inevitably be worldly, snobbish, and unable to resist temptation.

Because they have been taught since childhood to properly select the temptations of the outside world, rather than putting themselves in a higher position than the temptations to watch the red dust. So they will be greedy, they will fight, and they will not treat all the members of the family as one at any time

As a result, the concept of the family has become a struggle and an exchange of interests. But as long as there are strife and interests, there will be dirt and conspiracy, and all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues in a family are mixed together, can such a family still be considered a family?

While eating, Qin Ku thought like this, and occasionally asked a few questions to test Qin Wei. Whenever this happens, Qin Wei will stop the movements in his hand and answer Qin Ku's question respectfully. Qin Ku would sometimes agree, and sometimes he would point out the mistakes in Qin Ku's answers.

The meal ended in such a solemn atmosphere, and the people were accustomed to it. Since how old Qin Wei was, such lunches have become a routine in the Qin family. Everyone knows that this is Qin Ku's leader in cultivating the next generation of the consortium.

Qin Hu is very competitive, in just more than ten years, from the beginning of the half-understanding to the later answers, and even after devoting himself to practice, he has enough understanding of the real world, and Qin Hu is even able to argue with Qin Ku.

This is what Qin Ku is happy to see, and it is also what the people in the family are willing to see, so this kind of meal lasted like this, and even after eating, Qin Ku felt that he was still unsatisfied, and he had to stay for a while, raise some of his doubts, and discuss them with Qin Ku.

But today is different, today Qin Ku took the initiative to leave Qin Ku.

The two ancestors and grandchildren sat on the sofa, one holding a cup of tea, almost the same movements, after taking two sips, relieving the breath, Qin Ku opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think of this secret fight with An Xiaoyu?" ”

Qin Wei put down the teacup, lowered his head and stared at the pattern on the tea coaster on the table, silent.

Qin Ku instantly understood what this smart grandson was thinking, so he also put down the teacup, put his hand on his lap, leaned on the backrest, like an ordinary old man in the afternoon, and said softly: "You already have your own ideas, and you know young people better, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Only then did Qin Wei speak: "From the very beginning, I have never agreed to buy the formula of that elixir from the hands of the Second Zhong Family for transformation, nor have I agreed to directly carry out sales experiments after the production of this elixir, which is too risky. ”

Qin nodded bitterly: "This matter is that the Li family and the Lu family are too anxious, but because they are the Li family and the Lu family, Yu Wu and I also have to give them a face, when they proposed this plan, I didn't refuse, but I will never allow the people of the Qin family to do it themselves." ”

"So it would be best if this matter could be limited to the scope of the Lu family and the Li family, now that Li Qi has been revoked all rights, and Lu Si is even more regarded as an outcast, it is time to end everything within the current scope of influence."

"You mean, you don't think about going against An Xiaoyu?" Qin Ku asked.

Qin Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "An Xiaoyu...... An Xiaoyu is not a person from us at all. Grandpa, An Xiaoyu has never been a wise man, she is an actor, a reckless man, and a combat expert. All her means are based on her own strength, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, she relies on her own strength, relies on her own strength, and fights steadily step by step, we are businessmen, not generals, Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable to explain ......"

"An Xiaoyu is indeed a talent, but is she really as indestructible as you say? You've only been exposed to An Xiaoyu's information for a few days? There are already such conclusions. ”

"Grandpa, to tell you the truth, I'm also a young man. Before An Xiaoyu and the consortium were opposed, it can even be said that I yearn for Shaozong, and she is now a role model for young people all over the world. So I've known a lot about Shaozong since a long time ago, and since she arrived in the imperial capital, everything I can know is in my database. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect you to start paying attention to her a long time ago. But what you said is not wrong, An Xiaoyu is indeed a role model for the young people of the entire empire, there is no doubt about it. ”

"The reason why An Xiaoyu can become a role model for young people is different from the leader of the previous generation, Lei Ziguan Shantong, different from Wei Fangyuan of the previous generation, and different from the previous beige."

"Tell me, what's different about An Xiaoyu?"

"First of all, An Xiaoyu is a self-made person, although Bei Huang can be regarded as a person who worked hard, but Bei Huang has been a member of the five-person group from the beginning, whether it is a young shadow or a young Three Thousand Plum Blossoms, or Jiudaoguan Company, they are all Beihuang's backers, but An Xiaoyu is a real single."

"Where's the Spirit Venerable?"

"Since An Xiaoyu appeared, how many times has Lingzun appeared? In the past year, Lingzun has appeared in front of the world and helped An Xiaoyu only once when An Xiaoyu was seriously injured and almost died. As long as An Xiaoyu is not dead, Lingzun will be able to keep her intact, so Lingzun doesn't care about what happened before An Xiaoyu dies, we can understand it this way. ”

Qin Ku nodded: "Go on." ”

"Then there is An Xiaoyu's origin, An Xiaoyu is a person from the Eastern Wilderness. Judging from her actions this time, it can be seen that she is a typical person from the Eastern Wilderness. Innocence, stubbornness, tenacity, silent wisdom, and vows not to give up until the goal is achieved, this is the deadliest. Because a naïve person is often incomprehensible to us, no matter how she acts, as long as we can't understand the principles and persistence of the Donghuang people in her heart, it is impossible for us to guess what An Xiaoyu is thinking. ”

"But as a spectator of the mainland, An Xiaoyu has already touched our characters and thoughts, and it is clear......

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that we are forever doomed to fall into inferiority, whether we use conspiracy or impotence. What's more, An Xiaoyu is now controlling a huge force, from the Eastern Wilderness Army to Xinfan, from the trajectory to some of the strength in the secret, which we can't match unless we resist with all our might. But An Xiaoyu is a bachelor, she can give everything she has, we can't. ”

"I know this better than you. The reason why a consortium is a consortium is because a consortium is not a complete family. That's why I have never let the Qin family personally intervene in this matter, and you must remember in the future that such a thing must not be done by yourself. ”

"Grandson understands!" Qin Wei said respectfully: "So An Xiaoyu is an invincible opponent. I proposed to settle this matter within three days, and it was also based on the principle of no longer having a bad relationship with An Xiaoyu, so just like Grandpa thought, other things, including the Li family and the Lu family, should be given up, and it is time to give up. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Oh?" Qin Ku raised his head and looked at Qin Ku's eyes that shone brightly.

Qin Wei smiled and said, "The Great Cultivation World has begun, where will the consortium go, and whether our Qin family can still control the overall economic situation of Dongyun, it's time to plan." After so many years, what kind of attitude does the other families have, isn't it clear in Grandpa's heart? ”

Qin Ku looked at this grandson of his, and a dangerous light gradually flashed in his eyes. Qin Wei was not afraid, and calmly looked at Qin Ku, and the eyes of the two of them exchanged all kinds of unknown information.

After a long time, Qin Ku's eyes finally left only relief and peace of mind, and he smiled happily. Qin Wei also smiled slightly, and picked up the teacup with Qin Ku, ending this dinner and this secret conversation at the moment when the lid of the cup fell.

Li Qi received such an invitation for the first time after being sent to the periphery of the power center. said that although he had made mistakes before, he was also a member of these families after all, not to mention that he had recently done something for the consortium, so he invited him to a dinner party for the juniors.

In the past, Li Qi hated such a dinner party very much, but now he yearns for it.

The dinner party of the younger generations of each family of the consortium is a dinner party, but in fact, it is more of a venue for competition, and a battlefield for the juniors to test each other's abilities. In the past, it was always Qin Hu who occupied the top of this battlefield, and then Lu Si.

As for Li Qi, he was just a submissive little person at the dinner table, and no one cared what Li Qi said. Occasionally, someone would ask Li Qi about something, either because he was frustrated by someone and wanted to regain some self-esteem, or simply to tease this waste dim sum.

So from the very beginning, Li Qi hated such gatherings. In his heart, the dinner party represents shame, the humiliation of others, and the restlessness. But now? He kicked Lu Si with one kick, although everyone didn't know that he actually kicked Lu Si to death, but Li Qi was very curious, what kind of expression would they have if they saw him again?

Is it to laugh at yourself like you used to? Or are you ready to fall for your loss? Or...... Is it the rat bogey device that Li Qi is looking forward to and staying away? Imagining the expressions of these people, Li Qi felt relaxed and happy.

After dressing himself up, putting on his most expensive dress, bringing his most expensive brooch, and letting the barber style his hair for two hours, spraying perfume, Li Qi got into his hovercar and headed towards the hotel where everyone often gathered.

When Li Qi arrived at the hotel, there were already a few people in the room, or talking in twos and threes, all of them were juniors of the same generation in the consortium family, and they were all familiar people. Li Qi walked in with a smile on his face, and everyone stopped talking and looked at this idle little man.

Some people showed disgusted expressions on their faces, some people turned their heads and didn't dare to look, and some people even had some hatred, these were all people who had a polite relationship with Lu Si. Li Qi was so happy that he sat on the last seat that belonged to him.

Gradually, there were more and more people at the table, but no one spoke, and the hall was silent. It wasn't until Qin Wei walked in that they regained some of their vitality and greeted Qin Wei one after another. Qin Wei also responded one by one with a smile, sat on the main seat, frowned, and glanced at the vacant right hand side beside him.

That was Lu Si's seat.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Wei smiled, raised his hand and said to Li Qi, "Old Qi, come!" Come here! Since you are no longer the heir, there is no need to follow the rules, you and my brother have not been close for a long time, you come and sit! ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, flattered, came to Lu Si's seat, sat down, looked at everyone's surprised eyes, and suddenly felt that he had reached the peak of his life.

Qin Wei opened the scene and said a few words, and then let people start serving, and the dishes were placed on the table one by one, and no one present had the heart to taste these exquisite dishes. They all thought about it again, what did Qin Wei want to do when he called Li Qi over and even let Li Qi sit by his side?

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Qin Wei turned to Li Qi beside him and asked, "Old Seven, you have been to see the fourth child, how is he now?" You didn't suffer, did you? ”

Li Qigong replied respectfully: "No, the fourth brother is not bad, but his mental state is not very good, and he probably has received some blows." ”

"Hehe, we are young people, it is normal to have troughs, which can be regarded as a test for the fourth child."

"That's what Big Brother said!" The others echoed.

Qin Wei asked again: "Then when you go this time, have you seen An Xiaoyu?" I heard that An Xiaoyu came back from the Eastern Wilderness? ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, and hurriedly smiled and said, "What's the matter?" When I went, I could only see the fourth brother, and no one else was allowed to see him. ”

"Oh." Qin Wei pondered with his wine glass, and Li Qi's heart chuckled.

"Smack!" A crisp sound echoed throughout the hall.

Qin Wei looked at the fragment of the glass in his hand that had pierced Li Qi's carotid artery, shook his head regretfully and sighed:

"Old Seven, your smile has always been too fake."
