"Forget it, I'll tell it myself, you all disperse, brother come with me. After Shangguan Wanqing finished speaking, she took Liangchen into an extremely exquisite room, which was her boudoir, which was very elegant and comfortable, burning a furnace of incense, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance, which was pleasant to smell. After Shangguan Wanqing led Liangchen into the room, he sat down next to a beautiful coffee table, poured tea with a smile and handed it to Liangchen, Liangchen took it with a smile, and saw some exquisite fruit spots on it, so he picked it up and ate it unceremoniously.

Shangguan Wanqing didn't speak, just smiled and watched Liangchen eat snacks. Liangchen stopped after eating for a while, and said casually: "What is the matter with my sister, tell me and listen." ”

"I don't know how much my brother knows about the Eight Great Families?" Shangguan Wanqing said unhurriedly.

"I only know that I am very famous and powerful, and I don't know much about the others. My sister just said that it was good to get down to business, there was no need to have too many scruples, your younger brother was a casual cultivator, and he didn't have much knowledge. Liangchen said with a smile.

Shangguan Wanqing saw that Liangchen was an impatient, so she no longer used her business negotiation routines to beat around the bush, but went straight to the point: "Men should speak and act more steadily, you know?" Seeing Liangchen's disapproving face, Shangguan Wanqing pouted and continued: "My Shangguan family is one of the eight major families, and its strength is also very strong. However, the Shangguan family is different from other major families, and the Shangguan family focuses primarily on financial interests, rather than a path of cultivation. Even for the sake of interests, the Shangguan family can cooperate with any powerful force to establish diplomatic relations, and even conclude marriages. Presumably, my younger brother has heard of a generation of talented women Shangguan Wan'er, and she is an example of the marriage between my Shangguan family and the Tang family. ”

"My sister is also going to get married, I wonder which lucky guy she will marry?" asked Liangchen with a curious smile.

Liangchen's words made Shangguan Wanqing a little unhappy, and there was even a slight gloom on his face, and his tone immediately turned a little cold: "Listen carefully, don't interrupt, don't use this kind of thing to find my sister's happiness." Liangchen scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Shangguan Wanqing calmed down and continued: "The Shangguan family is a merchant family, businessmen are profit-oriented, and sometimes they will even do some out-of-the-ordinary things for the sake of profit. The family is also divided into many factions, and each faction is harmonious on the surface, but in fact it is constantly competing with each other, and in order to suppress the opponent, all kinds of unbelievable methods emerge one after another. Under the patriarch, there are ten inner door elders, and the Shangguan family is divided into ten factions. I took over the position of this inner door elder from my father. My father died early, and many people in the original faction bullied me for being young and switched to other factions, so the strength of my lineage gradually became the weakest in the family. Several other factions have been watching us for a long time, and they continue to dig into the foot of the wall, making stumbling blocks, and one day, the inheritance accumulated by the ancestors will be divided up by other factions, and even I, the position of the elder of the inner gate, can barely be kept after several twists and turns. Shangguan Wanqing said this, her eyes were full of sadness.

"Don't you patriarchs care about this?" Liangchen saw that Shangguan Wanqing was a little sad, so he asked intentionally or unintentionally to ease the atmosphere.

"The patriarch has a law enforcement team in his hands, which is extremely strong, not only shocking the rivers and lakes, but also intimidating the family, the patriarch has absolute control over this team, and there is no need to worry about which faction will be beyond his control. As long as the monthly contribution is paid on time, the patriarch not only will not care about the conflicts and disputes within these families, but these are exactly what he wants, and no leader wants his subordinates to be connected to each other, and the tail will not fall apart and compete with him. In fact, it is precisely because of these cruel competitions that the Shangguan family has been inherited for hundreds of years. Listening to Shangguan Wanqing's words, Liangchen suddenly opened, in the past, he was just envious of the infinite scenery of these sect families, but now it is not necessarily a good thing to come from a big family. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and you must pay for everything, except the gift of God.

"The Shangguan family's power spread all over Kyushu, China, and a clan conference is held every year to evaluate the contribution of each party to the family, and to allocate commercial spheres of influence and resources. The inheritance from my father originally had fifteen cities, but under the continuous encroachment of other factions, only one was left in Ruzhou, which was also the place of prosperity of the ancestors. Seeing that the clan assembly is coming, if I don't make a decent contribution to the family, it is not surprising that my position as an inner door elder will definitely not be guaranteed, and my faction will also be carved up, and I myself will become a victim of the family marriage. It is said that the clan has long discussed and is ready to set a family affair for me, and wants to marry me to the Taishang ** Dana of Wuji Pavilion as a concubine, that Hu Dana is already in his old age, notoriously greedy and lustful, and his wives and concubines are in groups. My sister has already thought that if the day she is removed from the family, it will be the end of her life. The more Shangguan Wanqing spoke, the more desolate it became.

Looking at the sad beauty in front of him, Liangchen was also filled with righteous indignation in his heart, and he couldn't bear to see his fragrance disappear, and a sense of justice arose: "What does my sister need my brother to do to help you? Liangchen urged again and again: "Are you going to kill me in a hurry, hurry up." ”

"My brother knows the White Tiger List. Shangguan Wanqing's speed of speech was still unhurried, this was a habit she had developed since she was a child, seeing Liangchen's eagerness, she continued: "The patriarchal inheritance of the Shangguan family is a competitive system, not a father-son inheritance. Every twenty years, a new patriarch is elected, and the old patriarch will pass on his inheritance to the new patriarch through secret methods. This kind of inheritance is originally a mystical technique, extremely powerful, created by the ancestors of the Shangguan family, and has a blood connection with the people in the clan, and outsiders cannot accept the inheritance, so there is no need to leak secrets. Although the inheritance is extremely powerful, it also has the side effects of backlash, which has gone through dozens of generations of continuous changes, and the role of backlash is getting bigger and bigger, so that now everyone who accepts the inheritance can only bear the impact of its backlash for twenty years at most, and it will be passed on to the next one, which is also the reason why the position of the head of the Shangguan family is changed every twenty years. According to legend, there is a holy place for cultivation in the Qingyun Sect, the Dragon Soul Tower, in which the soul of an evil dragon is suppressed. The ambergris pearl is the treasure of heaven and earth, and it contains a majestic gold-redeeming righteousness, which can suppress the backlash of the inheritance in the patriarch's body, so this ambergris pearl is extremely important to my Shangguan family, and the successive patriarchs have not hesitated to pay a huge price to obtain it, but they have never succeeded. If you can occupy a place on the White Tiger List, you will have the opportunity to enter the Dragon Soul Tower to cultivate once. If you're lucky, you might be able to get ambergris beads. This is my sister's only chance at the moment. However, the White Tiger List has always been extremely competitive, and there are many casualties, and my sister is not qualified to let you take risks for me••••••"

"It's okay, I was going to participate in this White Tiger List, but it's hard to say whether I can make it to the list, after all, my sister has also seen it, and my younger brother is just a nameless casual cultivator, with low strength and no longevity. Liangchen interrupted Shangguan Wanqing's words and said with a smile.

Shangguan Wanqing was also a little moved when she heard this, women are sometimes very emotional, and what they value may not be how much men pay for it, but the determination to resolutely go to the soup for themselves. She knew that although Liangchen said it lightly, in fact, she would definitely do her best to be shortlisted for the White Tiger List and get the ambergris pearl, and she was moved. Shangguan Wanqing felt cordial at the first sight of Liangchen, and there was an inexplicable feeling in the dark, and later when she saw the old ghost doctor's wooing, she became more and more sure of her intuition, and the young man in green shirt in front of her would be a noble person in her life. A sense of security that had never been felt before, the ghost had taken possession of her heart, and her desperate life, which had experienced countless betrayals and darkness, seemed to shine with a glimmer of luster. So she resolutely took out a lot of money to make friends with Liangchen. Shangguan Wanqing said with a look of pity: "Just do what you can, for my sister, your own safety is the most important thing." ”

"Don't worry, although my brother has a bad life, he will not give it to others easily. Liangchen said with a smile on his face.

"My sister will get an invitation card for you on the White Tiger List, and with this thing, you can save a lot of trouble. The rest is up to you. This time in the White Tiger List, the other factions in the family also sent a lot of people to participate, and there are even helpers hired with a lot of money, if these people know about the relationship between you and me, it will definitely be unfavorable to you, so you must keep it a secret, my sister can't help you in the open••••••" Shangguan Wanqing explained to Liangchen carefully, no matter how big or small, he was thorough, and he was very thoughtful, and Liangchen also admired this strong woman's sister.

"I already have the invitation card, my sister doesn't need to bother about it" Liangchen said with a smile, took out the invitation card given by Yue'er's father, and handed it to Shangguan Wanqing.

Shangguan Wanqing looked up and down, and said curiously: "This thing is very precious, where did you get it?"

"Sent by a friend," Liangchen replied casually.

"Your identity as a friend is definitely not ordinary, can you tell my sister in detail?" Shangguan Wanqing asked curiously, extremely intelligent. Liangchen thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it, so he told Shangguan Wanqing in detail about the encounter with Yue'er in the Apocalypse Mountain.

Shangguan Wanqing held her pink cheeks in her hand, quietly listened to Liangchen's speech, and after a long time, she suddenly asked, "Does my brother like Miss Yue'er?"

Liangchen was very caught off guard by her abrupt question, and his mouth squeaked and squeaked and slurred: "This•••••• this ••••••"

Shangguan Wanqing "giggled" when she saw this: "Don't do this and that, my sister understands everything." Liangchen was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and his face was a little red.

Shangguan Wanqing didn't tease him anymore, and ordered his subordinates to prepare a room for him to rest, and prepared some luggage and utensils for him to use on the road. Liangchen spent a few days in Rongxing Pavilion that he had never experienced a comfortable day, and seeing that the day of the opening of the White Tiger List was approaching, he said goodbye to Shangguan Wanqing and rushed all the way to Jiangzhou.
