Chapter 42: The Undercurrent (II)
In the hovering car, Wu Jing frowned and said, "Why do you have to pay such a big price for Lu?" Did you know from the beginning that Xiao Junling was so valuable? ”
Zuo Shiji started the flying car unhurriedly and said leisurely: "Of course not." I set such conditions just to test the importance that the Zhou family attaches to Xiao Junling. Now it seems that my original guess was correct, and Xiao Junling's potential value is indeed worth the price. ”
"But you just took out too many things, and the old man in your family didn't give you such a high authority, right?" Wu Jing thought about the value of those two crystal cards, and couldn't help but feel a little painful.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we have this test report, the two of us are enough to make a difference." Zuo Shiji set the flying car to autopilot,
"If we can promote the cooperation between the three parties in this matter, it will be of great benefit to both the family and us."
Wu Jing nodded lightly, and immediately remembered Zhou Meng's unbearable attitude just now, and a fire of jealousy rose in her heart for no reason, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm very interested in your proposal, why don't you go back and tell my grandfather what if...... If we can really contribute to this, we will have one less very strong competitor in the future, don't you think? ”
Zuo Shiji smiled and shook his head: "That's just a means of negotiation, it's not our real goal, it's not a mistake we should make to waste time and energy on something that we are not sure about just to be angry." What's more, even if there is no matter of Xiao Junling, this concubine of the Zhou family is not so easy to deal with. ”
Although they are the core children of the family, they are currently in the stage of training, and the real power of the family is not yet in their hands. I don't even have the right to make decisions about my own marriage, and I want to interfere in the lifelong affairs of other core family members, which can only be said to be a joke. The level of business operation of marriage is something that only their elders are qualified to consider.
Therefore, all Zuo Shiji can do at the moment is a verbal threat, and Zhou Meng reacted quickly, so there is no point in talking about this now.
Wu Jing pondered for a moment, and had already figured it out in her heart, so she couldn't help but sigh with some regret and didn't say anything more.
Zuo Shiji said with a smile: "That Zhou Meng presses you everywhere, it's really depressing, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" She's in the limelight, maybe one day she'll make a big comeback, we don't really need to do anything, just wait and see. ”
"Hmmm! That's the same thing. Wu Jing thought about it, and her face finally looked much better.
"By the way, what is the possibility of a breakthrough in the last year or two?" Zuo Shiji straightened his expression and asked.
Wu Jing shook his head: "I can't say for sure, you also understand how difficult it is to break through that pass!" My clan uncle has been stuck at the tipping point for decades, and this time he ...... The family has provided him with a lot of resources, and even some natural treasures smuggled from foreign civilizations, if he can't succeed, the family won't waste any more energy on him in the future. ”
"Then let's hope he succeeds this time!" Zuo Shiji sighed,
"If you can have an extra god of war in your family, the benefits to the family are obvious, and even our family will be a lot more polished!"
These wealthy families ranked among the first groups in the imperial capital are all behemoths with a long heritage and profound heritage, and the strongest in the clan are like clouds. Each family has a Silent Star God of War in charge, or at least has a corresponding means of restraining the Silent Star God of War.
However, the number of powerhouses of this level is too small, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, but in the process of exploring and developing the exotic starry sky and plundering rare resources of the family, the God of War is an indispensable help, so these family heads are all exhausted and plan hard for the present and future of the family.
Although the Zhou family now also has a Silent Star God of War in charge, this strong man's lifespan has come to an end, even if he tries his best to maintain it, he will die after more than ten years of hard work at most. And among his many descendants, none of them have the qualifications to hit that threshold!
Without the Silent Star God of War, the family's strategic deterrence will undoubtedly be greatly affected, and it will have the upper hand in the face of the competition with other families' power, not to mention the loss of many additional benefits, and even the process of developing the exotic starry sky will be greatly affected.
Zhou Jiyuan, the head of the family, has always been worried about this matter and has difficulty sleeping and eating. Now that I finally found a good seedling, I am naturally overjoyed.
Xiao Junling's qualifications have already shown that he has enough hope that he will successfully break through to the realm of the Silent Star God of War one day in the future. That's why the Zhou family is willing to pay so much price, trying every means to keep him in their hands, and at worst, to make him have a sense of identity with the family. And the families behind Zuo Shiji and Wu Jing were all motivated by the same considerations, so they went out one after another, and tried their best to get together.
At the beginning, Zhou Meng planned to let Xiao Junling worship under Ji Yuechen's door, on the one hand, to show favor to him, and on the other hand, he also planned to get closer to His Royal Highness the God of War, and if necessary, he could be used as foreign aid for the family. It was only by chance that she attracted the attention of Xichen Qinglan and became her student.
Wu Jing looked at the report in her hand, and suddenly said with some doubts: "Although your proposal just now is very convincing, but is she really so easy to talk about?" Giving you something so important? ”
"Oh? What do you think she would do? Zuo Shiji asked.
Wu Jing smiled coldly: "If I were her, even if I couldn't falsify the content of this document, then it wouldn't be a problem to tear down two pages, right?" Anyway, we don't know the details of the testing process. ”
Zuo Shiji raised his eyebrows, took the report and looked at it for a while, and then said slowly:
"It's possible what you say, but just what we're seeing now is enough to prove that his qualifications are excellent! If there is still a part that she may have intercepted, what kind of important content will it be? ”
"It's not just her," Wu Jing bit her lip hard, and her voice was cold to the bone:
"Even His Royal Highness, the female god of war, who is famous for protecting her shorts, is afraid that she will have reservations when she gives the information to Zhou Meng, right?"
She stared at her boyfriend and said word by word: "In other words, this Xiao Junling's potential should be even more amazing than we think now!" Well, you know what that means! ”
Zuo Shiji's face gradually became gloomy, and he said after a while: "Let's go, let's go to the communication center, and immediately use special permission to contact the family!" ”
……
When Xiao Junling walked into the private cultivation space of the female god of war, he didn't expect how much waves he had caused in those wealthy families because of his own affairs.
Xichen Qinglan looked lazy and leaned on the gorgeous brocade couch, as if she had just bathed, her long black hair like a waterfall was casually draped on her delicate body, and she was wearing a thin white nightgown, which could not hide her delicate and convex figure at all, and her curved, jade-like beautiful calves and delicate jade feet were exposed outside, kicking gently from time to time.
She held a thin silk book in her hand, and was reading it intently.
"Coming? Then come and sit down! Hearing Xiao Junling's footsteps, she raised her head and said with a slight smile.
