Chapter 171: Intra-clan competition
Gu Chong: "...... Young master, I think this matter still has to be considered in the long run. ”
"Well, you have a point."
Qiu Ao, who felt very faceless, found this step and went down. The Qiu family is very good, but this does not mean that all the Qiu family members are so good. At least Qiu Ao can't get up now.
Next, Qiu Ao, Wang Ling, and a few other female cultivators "discussed the Tao" for a few days, and then left the Ninth Refining Hall with Gu Chong.
Soon, a small piece of gossip spread in the Ninth Refining Hall: Li Yong, the president of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce, seemed to have climbed up to a certain senior with a great background, and even the face of Qiu Ao, a child of the Qiu family, could not be given.
It is difficult to find out who spread the news. When Huang Rong and Xiu Yan told Lin Yu about this rumor with a worried face, Lin Yu said: "This is someone deliberately trying to provoke the contradiction between me and Qiu Ao of the Qiu family, with sinister intentions. Brother Huang, you send someone close to you to secretly investigate Qiu Ao's background and status in the Qiu family. We always have to know how much power Qiu Ao can have in the Qiu family, whether he will hold a grudge against us or not. ”
"Okay, Brother Li."
After Huang Rong and Xiu Yan left, Lin Yu still felt that he had no bottom in his heart. No matter how you say it, Qiu Ao is also a member of the Qiu family, and someone deliberately spreads rumors, this matter can be big or small. Therefore, after thinking about it, Lin Yu decided to go to the vicinity of Qiu's house and investigate secretly.
The Qiu family, as one of the top ten disciples of the Easy Dao Master, Qiu Qianren's family, occupies a continent with an unusually strong aura, and this continent is called the Qiu Continent.
When Lin Yu came to the Qiu Clan's Continent, he couldn't help but sigh that the rich aura here was actually a little richer than the aura where the Ninth Refining Hall was located.
This can be seen from the side, perhaps in the eyes of the Easy Dao Master, his ten disciples are more important than a sect branch like the Ninth Refining Hall. Otherwise, how could the aura of a place occupied by a family exceed the location of a branch of the sect?
Although nominally, the Ninth Refining Hall's sphere of influence covered several continents, the power of the Ninth Refining Hall was only gathered in the vicinity of the Refining Hall's station, and it was not like the Qiu Clan's Continent, where even the small merchants and vendors in the secular world were under the jurisdiction of the Qiu family. There is no doubt that the Qiu family is the true master of this continent. From the cultivation realm of this continent to the secular realm, everything is in the control of the Qiu family!
In the face of such a giant family, Lin Yu was also in awe. He found that although there were also shops of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce here, the first big character on the door number of the store was the word "Qiu". Lin Yu understood what this meant, which showed the respect of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce for the Qiu family.
Of course, Lin Yu, the president, didn't have the energy to ask about some of the cumbersome affairs of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce, so it was only then that he discovered some details of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce's operations in this continent.
After further understanding, Lin Yu learned that half of the profits from all the secular realm businesses and cultivation realm shops in this continent must belong to the Qiu family. It can be seen how domineering the Qiu family is in this continent.
"It seems that the Qiu family should not be humiliated!"
This thought flashed in his heart, and Lin Yu had an idea: use the Qiu family to deal with the Qiu family! Aren't you Qiu Ao always having trouble with me? I'll get to know the Qiu family to deal with you.
Lin Yu didn't believe it, such a super family, there could be no contradictions within the family. Lin Yu guessed that Qiu Ao was in the Qiu family, and there must be clansmen who did not deal with him. Therefore, Lin Yu decided to conduct an in-depth understanding and spy on the Qiu family, of course, all this was done in secret.
When Qiu Ao returned to the family continent, he didn't know that Lin Yu had already arrived first. On the family continent, Qiu Ao didn't dare to be arrogant at all, and even his expression became much lower and more pleasing to the eye. In the outside world, who dares to offend the Qiu family easily? That's why Qiu Ao is more arrogant and even arrogant. But in the Qiu Continent, Qiu Ao did not dare to be arrogant.
Because the Qiu family is also full of competition, once Qiu Ao has any tricks and is discovered by Qiu Ming's people, Qiu Ao will be very passive.
Although Qiu Ming is only a Yuan Infant Monk, he also has an internal force of the Qiu family behind him. This force ranges from the monks of the Transformation Stage and even the True Immortal Realm to the secular people who walk the streets.
Therefore, as long as Qiu Ao returns to the Qiu Continent, his people will be much more honest, and as for the matter of "interacting" with female cultivators in the Qiu Continent, then he will not dare to do so.
The Qiu family has a great business, and the ancestor of the Qiu family deliberately encouraged fierce competition between various branches within the family in order to prevent his descendants from being too slack, and even deliberately intensified various contradictions between various branches. I have to say that his methods have indeed made his juniors improve their cultivation relatively quickly.
Because of the strong branch, only in the family can you get more cultivation resources. With more cultivation resources, you can improve your cultivation faster, and your longevity will be longer.
For any kind of life, longevity is the ultimate temptation.
"Yo, isn't this Cousin Qiu Ao? Heck, after all this time, how do you feel that your cultivation is still the same as when you first promoted? ”
A man dressed as a scholar shook his folding fan lightly and said in an obvious teasing tone.
"Qiu Bide, you don't have to be complacent. I deliberately suppressed my cultivation progress in order to go to the Lost Land. Otherwise......"
"Otherwise, has Cousin Qiu Ao already advanced to the Yuan Infant Stage? My cousin is really qualified. ”
The four words of extraordinary qualifications, Qiu Bide deliberately lengthened his tone, and the irony was obvious.
Qiu Ao: "Anyway, it won't be worse than you, the late stage of Jindan." ”
Qiu Bide: "In this way, my cousin will catch up with my cultivation, and it will be just around the corner." ”
After Qiu Bide finished speaking, he shook the fan, turned around and left, without even looking at Qiu Ao.
Qiu Ao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and took Gu Chong in another direction. When Qiu Ao and Gu Chong's figures disappeared at the end of the street, Lin Yu's figures walked out from the corner of the street. As soon as Qiu Ao returned to the Qiu Continent, Lin Yu sensed it. Because Qiu Ao also has the puppets of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce, many puppets of the Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce have unique signal sources.
Therefore, as long as the signal source of the puppet that Qiu Ao carries with him is determined, within a certain range, Lin Yu can control Qiu Ao's specific whereabouts at any time.
Lin Yu realized that Qiu Ao had no status among the Qiu family's contemporaries. Otherwise, that Qiu Bide wouldn't have spoken to Qiu Ao in that tone.
Leaving Qiu Ao aside, Lin Yu quietly followed that Qiu Bide. He wanted to follow a Jindan monk, and the other party would not be able to find out no matter what. I saw that Qiu Bide walked for a while and came to the shop of a Thousand Machines Chamber of Commerce.
Qiu Bide glanced at the shop of the Thousand Machinery Chamber of Commerce, smiled coldly, shook the folding fan and walked in.
