A giant like the Lan family, not to mention the power of the sect family that is attached to it, within its family alone, there are countless family branches that are either descendants or collaterals, and these branches are intertwined and form an intricate network of relationships.

Generally speaking, whether you are powerful or not has little to do with whether you are related to it or not, as long as you have the ability and the qualifications to make the family pay attention, even if it is a marginal branch, you can become the backbone of the family to hold real power.

Even if it is a descendant of the lineage, if it is just a mixed eating and drinking temperament, the status will not be bad, but the weight of speaking will be reduced, just like those idle princes in the dynasty, it is no problem to be an idler who raises flowers and walks birds, but there is not much opportunity to participate in family affairs.

Of course, the power of the family can be balanced, but the real core power, to be precise, is the position of the patriarch, as well as the decision-making power of the elder group, which must always be in the hands of the lineage.

These long-standing families have their own set of methods for cultivating talents, generally speaking, the descendants of the descendants will not be far behind, and there is more than one person who focuses on training, unless there is a very special situation, there are always a few people in each generation who can be used as great talents.

For example, the Yun family, if the dragon and the phoenix are so amazing, if the two join forces, Lan Luoying, who has always been the first person in this generation, will also be crushed, and even Xia Qingyang, the first person today, will not dare to win easily.

But the position of the patriarch will never fall on the heads of the two, Yun Jinchao's original intention is to cultivate two right-hand men for the future patriarch, and it is already a great gift to enter the elder group in the future, but people are not as good as heaven, and some descendants are worried that the tail will not lose their merits, so they will take action in advance.

Although Yun Jinchao felt regretful, he didn't have too much intention to investigate, compared to the family's inheritance, the loss of one or two geniuses is nothing, and such a family has never lacked geniuses.

Lan Haoshan's mother is just the concubine of the elder brother of the Lan family in the previous generation, and she is not very favored concubine, so he can barely be regarded as a descendant, after all, he is the son of the patriarch, but his mother is not angry, and he hangs up early before he has arranged his son's future.

Perhaps it is because of the lamentation of what happened to his mother and son, Lan Haoshan has a soft spot for the concubine, and he also loves the children born to the concubine, so the son born to the concubine Lan Xinghai has become the most important person in his branch, and Lan Xinghai's daughter Lan Phoenix has also become his most beloved granddaughter.

Lan Xinghai's cultivation qualifications are not high, but he is very calm and assertive, but Lan Haoshan knows that with Lan Haotian's strong style, no matter how much he tosses, it is impossible for him to let this son with mediocre qualifications squeeze into the inner circle of the family, so he simply found another way and made friends with some small and medium-sized family sects, and the Xia family is one of them.

There was no big attempt to do this, it was nothing more than to make the small piece of business that the family had thrown at him better run.

Who would have thought that the world would run when things were unpredictable, and the granddaughter Lan Phoenix was so iconic, Mo said that there was no one in the Lan family who could compare, even if you looked at Kyushu, there were few girls who could compare.

This time, Lan Haoshan's mind could no longer be stopped, he deliberately leaked his wind and let a Guo family whose strength did not show his background but was very deep come to the door to propose, so it was difficult for his son to take his granddaughter to withdraw from the marriage.

At that time, Lan Fenghuang was also arrogant, and even the son of the Guo family didn't look at it squarely, let alone Xia Qingyang, but she didn't mean to look down on Xia Qingyang, on the contrary, because she secretly paid attention to this fiancé, she felt that he was quite interesting, but she just wanted to be her husband, and it was not enough to be interesting.

Lan Haoshan's strange and habitable behavior naturally can't escape Lan Haotian's eyes, he didn't care about this cousin who was only old when he was young but suddenly became busy, but the more glamorous and moving granddaughter made his eyes shine, his wrist was naturally higher than Lan Haoshan, and he soon arranged a big drama single-handedly, although there were twists and turns, the result was excellent.

As for Lan Haoshan's father and son, they took the opportunity to elevate their status in the family, and even began to meddle in some affairs, of course, only in terms of business, and the others were still a little self-aware, and Lan Haotian didn't mind this, it was all a trivial matter.

This time, the message of Lan Phoenix asked him to go to Capricorn City, it was completely Lan Haoshan's meaning, he didn't even ask Lan Haotian, he was not in the realm of long age, but his brain was getting better and better, knowing that this kind of thing was really not suitable for the patriarch to come forward in person, the last time Lan Phoenix's gaffe almost made the patriarch unable to come to the stage, this time he simply came to the first cut and then played.

"What a great achievement!" In an exquisite courtyard in Capricorn City, Lan Haoshan sat at the stone table in the courtyard, sipped a sip of fragrant tea, and squinted to himself.

Lan Xinghai, who was walking in from outside the courtyard, heard his father's words, and an imperceptible wry smile flashed on his face, and then he returned to normal, walked forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Father, everyone is here." ”

Lan Haoshan squinted and didn't speak, Lan Xinghai observed his words and said, "Hang them for a while?"

With the rise of his status in the family these days, not to mention the carp jumping over the dragon gate, it can also be said that the salted fish has turned over, and Lan Haoshan has become more and more of a patriarch and cousin, and it seems that he wants to double the days of groveling when he was young.

Lan Haoshan Huo Ran opened his eyes and said with a playful smile: "Xinghai, this business for my father always has to be handed over to you, you have a calm temperament and have ideas, I am not worried, but I am still a little short of heat in terms of proportion." ”

Lan Xinghai bent over, and his voice was lowered: "Please teach my father." ”

Lan Haoshan touched the teacup with his hand, gently tapping his index finger on his belly, Lan Xinghai smiled slightly, and picked up the teapot with both hands.

Lan Haoshan took the teacup and drank the remaining tea and sporadic tea leaves in the cup before he poured the tea, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't have to be so cautious in front of your father, because your father knows that you cherish the girl of the phoenix, blame that Xia Qingyang is too ignorant of the height of the sky, and he will kill himself before the climate is completed, and he wasted a calculation for his father!"

Lan Xinghai didn't delve into the meaning of his father's last sentence, and frowned: "Then Xia Qingyang's background is not bad, shouldn't it be so easy to hang up?"

"Hmph, do you think that the eight major families and the imperial dynasty are just talking? If you really have to be anxious, what is the first sword in Kyushu, black and white impermanence, and the mythology academy is not worth mentioning at all. Lan Haoshan looked disdainful.

Seeing that Lan Xinghai still had a different face, Lan Haoshan explained: "Although the first sword in Kyushu and black and white impermanence are powerful, after all, they are alone, a shadowless sword in northern Xinjiang and a few legendary soul masters of the imperial dynasty are enough for them, the Mythology Academy is a little difficult, but they have a special status, and they may not do their best, even if they tear their faces, one family can gain the upper hand with all their strength, and they will definitely lose if they shoot two families." ”

Lan Xinghai didn't have much objection to this statement, as a child of the Lan family, he knew much more about the Eight Great Families than ordinary people, and these giants were unimaginable, otherwise with the power of the Human Emperor, it would not be possible to compromise with the Eight Great Families so easily.

It's just that 616161 Lan Xinghai pondered: "The Imperial Dynasty will definitely do its best, but I don't see which family will do its best, it seems that they are just waving their flags and shouting, and most of them are assisting from the side." ”

Lan Haoshan shook his head and said: "It is enough to wave the flag and shout, whether it is the dynasty, the academy, or the eight major families, it is impossible to fight before the disaster of the beast clan is resolved, and it is the best way to let the juniors solve it." ”

If Xia Qingyang and the others heard this, they would definitely be amazed that this once powerful old man of the Lan family was as wise as a torch, not long ago, with the tacit consent of the bigwigs from all sides, there was a life-and-death struggle between juniors.

Lan Xinghai didn't understand the deep meaning of this very much, but it didn't prevent him from implementing his father's decision, just like what he had been doing all these years, his father in his eyes was definitely different from Lan Haoshan in the eyes of the world, but he never told people about it.

Lan Haoshan got up slowly, and as he walked out, he made a final conclusion for this brief conversation: "So Xia Qingyang is certain to die, not to mention those young people with the same talent as him, just the young killer of the Blood Killing Alliance is enough for him to drink a pot." ”

Lan Xinghai was shocked in his heart, and found that compared with his father, his vision was indeed a little worse, only to see that Xia Qingyang was already the first person in the excellent level, but he ignored that his opponents were also of the same level, and there were many of them.

In fact, these people are not the most important, the first person is a bane, and now it is on the wanted list of the coalition headquarters, I don't know how many people want to kill them and then quickly, this is a great opportunity to make a name for themselves, as for the younger generation of killers of the Blood Killing Alliance, who doesn't want to complete this task and become the top killer.

It can be said that once Xia Qingyang shows up, he will have to face endless attacks and killings day and night, and it is impossible for him to survive even if he has three heads and six arms.

Lan Xinghai shook his head, dispelled the little worry about his daughter in his heart, and quickly followed the old man, he knew that he did not have the ability to carry the Ding alone, and he had to follow this father who had not seen through the teachings he had listened to for decades.

In the hall on the second floor of Qingyuan Restaurant in Capricorn City, Xia Qingyang sat on the window seat and poured himself a drink, his eyes always fell on the window, and across the street was the courtyard where Lan Haoshan and his son were located.

There are many guests in the hall, but there is only one topic, Xia Qingyang's wife Lan Fenghuang is being sold by his father, and many people have prepared chips to enter Capricorn City, ready to buy this woman who is in a pitiful situation but definitely worth it.

Regardless of the fact that Lan Fenghuang itself is a first-class stunning, considering that she is Lan Haotian's nominal granddaughter, and her background and family background are even more remarkable, just Xia Qingyang's wife makes countless people feel itchy in their hearts, and it is true that Xia Qingyang can be admired by the world, but the woman who presses him is praised by the world, which is also a cool thing.
