Volume 5: The First Song 470: Night Talk (3)

As Chao Zhu said, Qian Chao's current cultivation is not allowed to leave the Five Spirits Sect to go to the cultivation world, only if he has built a foundation can he be qualified to be sent out of the sect for business, and he must stay in the Five Spirits Sect during the period of Qi cultivation, what Qian Chao knows about the cultivation world and the things between those large and small families was mainly told by Tang Ping in the early stage, and there are more sources in the later stage, especially he also knows a loose cultivator Zuo You who specializes in killing people to receive bonuses, he knows more about things in the cultivation world, but that's all, Everything he had heard, not what he had personally experienced, so his experience in the cultivation world was much worse than that of the Chao Zhu who was born in the family in front of him.

ๆ™็ซน says:

"There are big and small families in the cultivation world, and the top family is naturally the Qizhou Tian family, and Qizhou is also the place where Qian Gongzi was born, so he must be no stranger. The rest of the great families include the Song family of Longzhou, the Lin family of Chuzhou, the Wen family of Xuanzhou, the Tang family of Jinghai and so on......"

Chao Zhu said that these big families, in addition to the Tian family, the Song family in Longzhou is Song Zhen's family, and the Song Fenglou in Ruixuan Town is the industry of the Song family in Longzhou, and the dishes and drinks there are Lu Pingchuan's favorites; The Lin family in Chuzhou is Lin Jian's family, of course, Lin Jian's ancestors and fathers are in the Five Spirits Sect, and Lin Jian can only be regarded as the master of the Five Spirits Sect, but the Lin family is definitely a big family in the cultivation world; The Xuanzhou Wen family is the family from which Wen Yuan was born, including the Fu Master of Jiuxuan, Elder Wen Mian, who was born in the Xuanzhou Wen family; And the Jinghai Tang family is a family from Tang Ping, but the Tang family is not particularly strong in the families mentioned by Chao Zhu, but it is full of stamina, and it is said that it is still expanding.

I have to say that these families that Chao Zhu casually said have more or less something to do with Qian Chao, even Song Zhen, who has not appeared for a long time, has a good relationship with Qian Chao and others, because Qian Chao helped capture Shuhai in the tide of Cold Spring Valley at the beginning, which is considered to be a great help to Song Zhen, not to mention the senior sister Wenyuan who has built a foundation and has always admired Qian Chao.

It seems that Chao Zhu has done his homework on Qian Chao, and he came to find Qian Chao tonight not in a hurry, but in a prepared manner.

Chao Zhu continued:

"These great families, which one of them is not full of talents in the clan, the masters are like clouds, coupled with the wealth that is enough to rival the country, it is more than enough to deter a state, and it is not a problem to become the overlord of one side. But after all, there are still a few great families like this in the cultivation realm, and basically there are as many great families as there are states in the world. In addition to these big families, there are more small and medium-sized families in each state, such as our Ningzhou Chao family, which was originally only barely a medium-sized family, and it has its current appearance after the development of recent years, and for other more countless small and medium-sized families, it is nothing more than survival in the cracks, if there is no capital to gain a foothold in the cultivation world, then it is common for it to rise today and die tomorrow, so in the cultivation world, Those small and medium-sized families that are small in scale but can always be passed down are often able to gain a firm foothold by virtue of their skills, such as the Qin family, which is good at refining pills, such as the Wu family, which is good at preparing poisons, and the Liu family, which is good at finding out the news. โ€

There is no doubt that this Chao Zhu has done some homework on Qian Chao, although the three families mentioned later are not said which state, but the Qin family he said is good at refining pills must be the Qin family from which Qin Suiyi was born, and the Wu family who is good at configuring poison must be the Wu family from which Wu Ruishan and Wu Ruiyuan were born, and the Liu family is the Liu family from Liu Feng, who cooperated with Qian Chao and others. Among the three families mentioned by Chao Zhu, the Qin family can already be regarded as a great family, but its background is worse than the great family mentioned earlier, but its alchemy is very famous in the cultivation world.

These three are all related to Qian Chao, and Qian Chao has realized that Chao Zhu must have come prepared to come to him tonight.

"And our Ningzhou Chao family, what they are best at is to find out all kinds of news, well, from this point of view, the Liu family has some similarities with my Chao family, but the various news that my Chao family can find out is not comparable to the Liu family, or each has its own focus, in recent years, the Chao family has focused on the contradictions and entanglements between the major families in the cultivation world, and the Liu family is more focused on verifying the authenticity of various rumors in the cultivation world. In addition, all kinds of news from the Chao family can only be finalized after being verified by many parties, so in the cultivation world, the news of the Chao family is very expensive. โ€

So that's the case, so far Qian Chao has a little understanding of the Chao family, and he also has a lot of interest.

Chao Zhu took a sip of tea and continued:

"Next, it's time to talk about why my Chao family wants to marry their own daughter into the Jing family again. After Chao Yuan's death, the relationship between the Chao family and the Jing family was once at its lowest, and that incident made my cousin very embarrassed, on the one hand, Chao Yuan, who died with hatred, was her niece, and on the other hand, it was her own son who did evil, because of this incident, the Chao family and the Jing family had no contact for a long time. On the surface, the Chao family is more dependent on the Jing family, after all, without the support of the Jing family, the Chao family would not have been able to develop in those years. But in fact, it is not, compared to the Chao family's dependence on the Jing family, the Jing family is more reluctant to lose the Chao family's right-hand man, the reason is very simple, I told Qian Gongzi earlier, the Jing family is never willing to lose the Chao family, a reliable source, in fact, at this level, even the Five Spirits Sect often cooperates with the Chao family, we often run secretly for the Five Spirits Sect, and it is precisely because of this that the Jing family and the Chao family, which was not strong at that time, signed a marriage contract. โ€

Qian Chao had already expected this, and after hearing this, he nodded.

"In fact, the elders of my Chao family don't want to have a cold relationship with the Jing family, and if they have the opportunity, they also want to mend the relationship between the two sides, but the Jing family must apologize to the Chao family for Jing Ji's matter. Well, later Jing's lowered his figure and did so, so that the relationship between the two sides was eased to a certain extent, and then in order to further win over our Chao family, Jing's also proposed to marry the Chao family again, and it was the daughter of the head of the Chao family that they fell in love with this time...... That's me! โ€

When she said this, Chao Zhu's face showed a little helplessness for the first time, but then those emotions disappeared, and she said:

"The one who wants to marry me in the future is Jing Lu, who is still a little bit like Jing in the Jing family. Well, this Jing Lu, in fact, in my eyes, it's just like that, but among the younger generation of the Jing family, I'm afraid only Jing Lu is a barely able to see the character, here I might as well say one more thing, Qian Gongzi, maybe how many years have passed, there will be no Jing clan in this Five Spirits Sect, the reason is in the Jing family's children, even if not everyone is a wolf-hearted guy like Jing Ji, but most of them do nothing, even if they are diligent, most of them are talented, and no successor is Jing's biggest worry, Decline is the inevitable end of Jing's. โ€

Qian Chao has been carefully observing Chao Zhu's expression, I didn't expect this woman who has not yet married into Jing's to give Jing's such an assertion, in Qian Chao's opinion, this Chao Zhu is by no means simple, and he must be a figure that cannot be underestimated in the future, at the same time, Qian Chao is still a little curious, he is not a woman, let alone from a family, naturally he doesn't know what it's like to be designated by the elders to marry, and he wants to ask, but he can't help it when he sees Chao Zhu continue to speak.

"Another point, Mr. Qian, since the Chao family has developed a certain strength with the help of the Jing family, at least it is safe to protect itself, but in this cultivation world, the family's foothold is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and only by continuing to become stronger can the family survive. The Chao family has already signed a marriage contract with the Jing family, which is my cousin, so that the daughter of the Chao family can no longer have anything to do with the Zong, Huan, Feng, Zhang, etc. of the Five Spirits Sect, assuming that the daughter of the Chao family marries into the Jing family, and if the daughter marries into the Feng family after many years, it will be equivalent to making the Feng family and the Jing family an alliance in disguise, which is intolerable to the Five Spirits Sect, that is to say, the Chao family can only tie themselves to the Jing family in the future, If you want to continue to develop, you can only hope for the doomed Jing family, of course, when the Jing family really declines, the Chao family will probably reach the point where you don't need Jing to gain a foothold. โ€

Hearing this, Qian Chao realized that the original sect was so wary of several clans in the sect, but after all, Qian Chao and Chao Zhu's background are different, and he still does not approve of the Chao family's approach, as early as the first election when Qian Chao's mother was pregnant, and I don't know if there are more brothers or sisters in the family over the years, if it is a sister, Qian Chao thinks that he must first satisfy his sister in the matter of choosing his sister-in-law. On the other hand, the Chao family actually regarded their daughter as a paving stone for the family to continue to prosper, which made Qian Chao a little dislike the Chao family, and what was the attitude of Chao Zhu in front of him as a victim of this marriage?

As mentioned earlier, Chao Zhu is a person with good personal feelings and sharp eyes, she naturally does not have the power of induction like Li Jian, but from the subtle changes in Qian Chao's face, he guessed what he thought in his heart, smiled slightly and sighed:

"Is Mr. Qian worthless for me, and thinks that my family will be wronged by doing this?"

"Don't dare."

"Alas, this is probably helpless, if the Chao family is still the same as the previous small family, then I will definitely make myself satisfied when I choose a husband in the future, but after all, the Chao family has come to the point where it is today, and for the future of the Chao family, this is also the price that must be paid. However, if I marry into the Jing Clan, it will be equivalent to entering the Five Spirits Sect, and it will also be a good thing for me to ask for. Well, don't say that there will be such a situation after the family grows bigger, just look at these clans in the Five Spirits Sect, which Taoist partner is the person he liked at the beginning, and he is not reluctant to accept it and then fall in love with it over time. Don't just say this, even if Senior Brother Qian came to the Five Spirits Sect, wasn't it a helpless move? I heard that Senior Brother Qian was precocious but had a proverb that he would die at the age of ten, otherwise how could Senior Brother Qian's parents be willing to let you go, presumably Senior Brother Qian was also very reluctant when he left home, but now, isn't Senior Brother Qian still thriving in the Five Spirits Sect? Therefore, people should not only look at the present, but also look at the future. โ€

Hearing this, Qian Chao said movingly:

"It seems that Miss Chao has done her homework for Zaixia!"

"Of course, after Jing Ji's accident, the Chao family has worked the five of Senior Brother Qian, and we will pay special attention to the affairs of the five of you, I once asserted in front of my father that the status of the five of you in the Five Spirits Sect in the future will be extraordinary. Well, I went on to say that Jing Ji had an accident, that was his own fault, although I couldn't kill him with my own hands to avenge Chao Yuan, but think about the next few days Jing Ji will live in fear of impending death every day, this kind of punishment makes many people in the Chao family very satisfied, this is more relieving than giving him a happy death to let him die, this punishment is really good, so, because Brother Qian, the five of you have brought down Jing Ji, at least among the younger generation of brothers of the Chao family, we still have a good impression of the five of you, At the same time, Senior Brother Qian, the five of you are also very admirable, after all, the children of the Jing family belong to the existence of great talents in the Five Spirits Sect, at least this incident proves that Senior Brother Qian, the five of you are all courageous figures. โ€

When Qian Chao heard this, he still couldn't understand something in his heart, so he asked:

"Miss Chao, I still don't understand, since Jing Lu is Miss Chao's future husband and wife, and he is a member of the Five Spirits Jing Clan, then why does Jing Lu calculate the five of us, why doesn't Miss Chao inform Jing about this matter, after all, Jing has already made an oath in the council hall, Jing Ji can no longer find us trouble, Jing Lu is still a person of Jing even if he is less and no more, he will only drag Jing down if he does this, isn't it much easier to inform Jing about this matter than to come and tell me?"

This is something that Qian Chao has been unable to understand since he first knew about Jinglu, and it is also a very critical question.

After hearing Qian Chao ask this question, Chao Zhu smiled, gently turned the tea cup on the table with his hand, and looked at Qian Chao at the same time and said:

"Mr. Qian, you also said that Jing Lu is a member of the Jing family, so naturally it is best for this matter to be resolved internally by the Jing family, but the key is ...... Now no one in the Jing clan has noticed this problem, they don't even notice anything, and I, the daughter of the Chao family, who is still an outsider, went to tell the Jing clan about this matter, what do you think the Jing clan will think of us? โ€
