"Grandpa!"

"Yao'er is here, come here, sit down, and accompany grandpa to fish." The old lady of the Situ family is a sturdy little old man, about six feet tall, wearing a gray robe, a little plain tone, a wooden hairpin tied up with silver hair, and his eyes are bright, he can't see any weakness at this age.

Having been at the helm of the Situ family for almost sixty years, the Situ family has reached a new level on the original level, which shows the extraordinary wisdom of this old man, it seems that he should really love this granddaughter, and that kind of doting can not be faked.

The pool is very large, it is a small artificial lake, but it is not like the feng shui platform inside the house, except for a circle of bluestone slabs nearly three feet away from the artificial lake, the other places are not taken care of, so that the edge of the artificial lake is overgrown with weeds.

The fish in this lake almost all grow naturally, and the old man likes this tune, so that the people in the courtyard are not allowed to feed the fish in the lake. Situ Yao sat down as she said, that is, when she sat down, the fishing rod suddenly moved, and she was dragged towards the position in the lake almost as soon as she moved.

Situ Yao's eyes were quick, he reached out and grabbed the fishing rod, and his complexion changed slightly.

"Oh, Yao'er, it looks like a big fish, is it so difficult?"

Situ Yao doesn't like fishing, but following his grandfather, he still has some knowledge, and his eyes are slightly surprised, "Grandpa, judging from this strength, I'm afraid that the fish in it is not less than 100 catties, why don't you come?" ”

Situ Fanweng smiled, "No, this is your own chance, you need to come by yourself, I haven't bitten for so long just now, you just came to sit down, and the big fish came, then it proves that it belongs to you, don't use your true qi, otherwise the fun of fishing will be less than half." ”

Listening to her grandfather's words, Situ Yao's mood was also much better, a hundred catties of big fish, this is a weight that she has never caught before, and another one, this artificial lake has not been established for a few years, and it is a pure native species, how big the fish fry was when she put it in it, she still knows, this hundred catties of big fish, maybe it is the king of fish in this small lake.

After all, it is a martial artist, and the pure physical strength is not something that this hundred catties of fish can compete with, and it didn't take long for him to be lifted up and placed on the bluestone slab, which is almost as long as two bluestone slabs.

Situ Fanweng was surprised, "This is a good sign, Yao'er, by the way, what are you going to say to your grandfather?" Is it about Cao An? ”

"How would Grandpa know that what I was about to say was about Cao An."

Situ Fanweng took the fishing rod and turned Ma Zha towards his granddaughter, "Now in Qingfeng County, there is a lot of uproar, and the only thing that can be regarded as a big deal is this Cao An, it is said that he is a martial artist from the Great Yin Dynasty, grandpa has inquired, he is indeed a talent, and when he was in the Great Yin Dynasty, he was a master who was repeatedly surprised." ”

"It is said that you had an intersection at sea, and then you went to Yuhua Building to eat together?"

Situ Yao was not surprised that his grandfather Situ Fanweng could know these things, these things were all in the family at that time, as long as the old man wanted to know, he could get them by casually asking.

"Well, that day, Yao'er escorted the ordnance and came to Qingfeng County by water, we met at sea, he suddenly appeared on the sea, and greeted us a few times from afar, he said that he encountered spatial disorder, that is, after he left, our caravan really encountered spatial disorder."

Situ Fanweng didn't speak, and listened to his granddaughter's words with a smile.

"I was angry at the time, and I always felt that the spatial confusion was brought by this kid, so I had the next thing to eat together."

"In the next thing, grandpa also knows that the matter of eating has been disturbed by Chen Ling's kid. In the end, it was a happy parting, right? ”

"That's right, but grandpa, that's not what I came to tell you today."

Situ Fanweng tilted his head, "No." ”

Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa, I haven't said anything yet?" ”

"The Situ family is good enough now, we just need to work steadily and steadily, step on every step, the family can develop steadily, now we can't take risks, it's not the time to take risks, the current Situ family is no longer the same as the Situ family when your grandfather was in control, there are thousands of people behind the entire family, and they can't afford to take this risk."

"What's more, this matter, now our Situ family will definitely not be able to intervene, don't look at the surface scenery of the Situ family, it really involves tangible interests, those friends who used to call you brothers and sisters, will definitely not hesitate to draw a knife and stab you, grandpa does not deny your vision and intuition, your performance has proved these, but grandpa must stop you."

Situ Yao pondered for a moment, "Can't you bet?" ”

When Situ Fanweng saw his granddaughter like this, he knew that her heart didn't really realize the impossibility of this matter, so she was patient at the moment, looked at Situ Yao calmly, and her face was solemn: "Yao'er, how strong do you think our Situ family is?" If you don't have a proper word to describe it, then you compare the sects of various levels, do you think that with the current strength of the Situ family, it can be comparable to several levels of sects? ”

"The strength of the pure Situ family can be compared to the second-rate sect of the United States, this is certain, the family has been doing business for generations, making friends with high rollers, if you have the heart, you should be able to attract the support of some masters, in this way, it is still possible to be comparable to a first-class sect."

Situ Fanweng smiled slightly, "Wrong, for business is for business, the strongest person in the family is just a Yang God Realm, when the survival of the family is really in danger, this strength of the family is actually not even comparable to a third-rate sect, you don't understand this, it is not good for the future of the family, grandpa thinks, with your intelligence, you should have known this a long time ago, no wonder you have this kind of bet at the moment, this is not a bet, this is to push the whole family into the fire pit." ”

Situ Yao obviously didn't believe it, "How is this possible?" ”

Situ Fanweng shook his head, "You have been wandering in the world, you have seen too little, you only use heaven and man to judge strength, through the six Jing Wufu to see the rivers and lakes of this empire, the answer you get is naturally this, but what is a heaven and man?" Those who dare to run to the rivers and lakes of the empire, how many of them are not above the strength of the Six Sedum people? ”

"The real detachment in the rivers and lakes starts from the Yang God Realm, and I just want to ask you one thing, if you are a person in the rivers and lakes, are you more willing to work for the sect, or are you more willing to work for someone else's family?"

Situ Yao wanted to talk about other people's families, but when she thought of her family's attitude towards family worship, she began to be a little bored for a while, "Yao'er doesn't dare to deceive her grandfather, Yao'er should be more willing to work for the sect in her heart." ”

"What is the reason?"

"Belonging!" Situ Yao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and subconsciously said this word.

Situ Fanweng nodded, "That's right, a big family, if you want to develop and grow, in fact, for the really powerful martial arts, those backbones, they don't rely on money and mundane things, but human favors, how can such a thing be casual?" It's small, for others, it's not enough, it doesn't affect anything, it's big, you are a family, how many big people can you afford? A big favor means a big price. ”

"In the final analysis, in fact, it is because of the atmosphere, and what ultimately points to is the sense of belonging you mentioned, the martial artists of the rivers and lakes will have a sense of belonging in the sect, they are willing to fight for their own sect, there, there are only the elders and the young and the master and apprentice, what they defend is their own interests and honor, but in the family, it is not the same, in the final analysis, it is actually a disguised master-servant relationship."

"When a real crisis comes, how many people can you get to fight for your family? Is it just the descendants in the family who don't make it? ”

"The family is not as good as the sect, this is only one of them, the second is the space for promotion, the sect can provide them with better resources, a higher martial arts realm, what can the family give? Yes, even if resources can be given and tilted, but in the end, they are still outsiders, and it is impossible for them to be at the helm of a family, but the sect can, as long as you are strong enough and excellent enough, no matter what your surname is, you are expected to become the head of a sect in the future. ”

"In contrast, between the family and the sect, because of these two restrictions, there is a gap in the talents who can be recruited, and the gap after that is obvious. When the sect lives and dies, they can at least guarantee that about fifty percent of their combat power will fight to the death, but the family, in addition to the direct bloodline, among the worship groups, it is excellent if two percent of the worship groups are willing to fight for your family. ”

Situ Yao's face is not very good-looking, in fact, it is just like what Situ Fanweng said, because he has been mixed in the low-level rivers and lakes, and most of what he sees are in the realm of heaven and man, and the sedan chair carries people, you are in the realm of heaven and man, and I also have guards in the realm of heaven and man here, I can buy more guards of heaven and man with money, and I can smash you to death with money, and I underestimate this river and lake.

So much so that when Situ Fanweng asked just now, he directly compared the number of martial artists in the major realms with the sect and came to that conclusion.

"Yao'er understands!"

"Then do you know what level of sect the Thousand Illusion Demon Sect belongs to? ”

"The Thousand Illusion Demon Sect belongs to the top sect."

"Look, don't you know that very well? So who gave you the courage to make you a force that can't even reach the third-rate sect, and wants to protect the next person from the knife edge of the top sect? Or do you think that saying that the chief disciple of their own sect was killed, and a Yang God Realm great cultivator died unexpectedly, for them, it is harmless, and everyone can shake hands and make peace if you give some compensation? ”

"The rivers and lakes are not shopping malls, sometimes, if you want to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, face and dignity must prevail over interests, in the shopping mall, there are only interests, but the rivers and lakes are not, put away the contempt for the rivers and lakes, you will go further, Yao'er!"
