Chapter 348 Volume B: Unintentional Intention, Unexpected Gain
Sun Daozhong asked Chen Huaisheng and his party to wait, while he quietly entered the inner courtyard, met with the head of the family and his father, and dealt with today's situation exactly as it was. gave a report.
Sun Fuli, Sun Fuyi and Sun Futong looked at each other.
"Daozhong, are you really from the Chonghua sect?" Sun Futong couldn't believe it, with a strange look on his face, "Shang Jiuling, the head of Chonghua, was a guest at the Ding family, but this person came to our Kuixing Pavilion. What do you think? He just came to buy Xuanhuang Divine Soil and want to see the history of the Dongxuan Sect in the past? "
"Uncle, my nephew doesn't know, but although this person didn't mention it directly, he should have said it both inside and outside. He is a disciple of Chonghua, and he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining in his twenties, and his accent is from Da Zhao. Which of our Yanzhou cultivators do you think can have such a talent? If it is another sect, Tianhe Sect? Zong? Or Yuelu Zong? It’s impossible.”
Sun Daozhong is definitely authentic.
"Then what is the purpose of this person coming to contact our Sun family?" Sun Fuyi stroked his beard and asked softly: "Is it really that he is here to buy the Xuanhuang Divine Soil, or to read some bullshit Dong Xuanzong story? Daozhong , do you believe it?"
Facing his father's question, Sun Daozhong was a little unsure, "Uncle, father, fifth uncle, does he really have any deep meaning?"
Sun Fuli half-closed his eyes and remained silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "Fuyi, what do you think?"
"Brother, is Shang Jiuling really a guest at the Ding family manor? Is the Ding family really Are you going to join the Chonghua Sect?" Sun Fuyi thought carefully and asked in a low voice.
The Ding family does not have many people, so its manor outside Baita City naturally has many people working on it. When the Sun family's legitimate daughter marries into the Ding family, there will inevitably be people from the Sun family's past, so this information cannot be hidden from the Sun family.
"Well, there is no doubt that Shang Jiuling has lived in the Ding family manor for two days, and the terms between the two parties have probably not been negotiated yet." Sun Fuli sighed, "The demon corpses are attacking the Ding family everywhere. Ding Zongshou was probably a little frightened by this blow. So many people from Fengyi Sect were dispatched but they still couldn't find a solution. How long can the Ding family last with only a thousand days of being a thief? How can they guard against thieves the day before? ?”
“Yes, people in Baita City are panicked now. Many people were originally full of resentment towards the Ding family, thinking that the Ding family would only accept all kinds of offerings, but often turned a blind eye when the critical moment came. This time things are so big again. If the Ding family doesn't show a gesture, the Fengyi Sect will reach out and the Ding family will be driven out of Baita City sooner or later."
Sun Futong also supported him. Brother's point of view.
The question is, what attitude can the Ding family take?
There are only about ten members of the Ding family, including their direct descendants. In the huge Baitapu territory, not to mention other things, just the presence of monsters and the common people being attacked often, the Ding family is simply too busy.
Many times, as long as the matter is not serious, they will drag it on, so the Ding family has a bad reputation in the territory of Baitapu.
There is nothing we can do about it. If Ding’s family has to be there in person for everything, then they will stop practicing. They will be exhausted from running around all day long.
"If the Ding family really wants to be included in the Chonghua sect, what will our Sun family do?" Sun Fuyi asked in a deep voice: "Will the Ding family use our Sun family as a weight to make deals? , to win greater benefits within the Chonghua faction?”
Sun Fuli and Sun Futong were both shocked and suddenly realized.
"Second brother, what you mean is that this Chonghua disciple's visit to Kuixing Pavilion is actually a test, a hint, a reminder..." Sun Futong said anxiously.
"You even took the initiative to negotiate with us?" Sun Fuli stood up, paced back and forth, thinking slowly and said: "I know that the Chonghua Sect is refining elixirs, making talismans, and cultivating spiritual plants. They are not very good at spiritual beasts, and after they came to Hebei, their original commercial trade has been cut off. When they were in Da Zhao, they had a special market, and it is said that the scale is not small. An ambitious person It is impossible for a sect to not have its own commercial and trade market..."
Sun Fuyi and Sun Futong's eyes lit up, and Sun Futong even said directly: "What the eldest brother means is that we don't need to be attached to Ding. Can the family directly belong to the Chonghua Sect?"
Sun Fuli turned around and said proudly: "Why not? Just because Ding Yuangao married my daughter, our Sun family must become a vassal of the Ding family? What a joke! Not to mention my daughter, even if I have several more daughters, it won’t work!”
Sun Fuyi hesitated, “Brother, it doesn’t matter that the Ding family and our Sun family are in-laws. It is a small family with a small population and no outstanding people in the family. It makes sense to belong to the Chonghua Sect. The Ding family will have someone to rely on in the future, but we are a clan family, and the Chonghua Sect is a sect. Our grandson If the family is included in Chonghua, which one is more important, the interests of the sect and the clan? ”
This question gets to the point.
Even Sun Fuli had to think twice.
After pondering for a long time, Sun Fuli did not think of a countermeasure. Instead, Sun Daozhong, who had not spoken until now, interrupted: "Uncle, father, fifth uncle, why don't we meet this Taoist surnamed Chen first? I feel This person may still have some status in the Chonghua sect. Listen to what he says. If the Ding family really wants to belong to the Chonghua sect, it will be a good thing for us to make friends with the Chonghua sect.”
Chen Huaisheng never expected that he would unintentionally come to Kuixing Pavilion to seek relevant historical records about Dongxuan Sect in Wolong Ridge, intending to find some original cave information on Canglong's back, but he would attract the attention of the Sun family. Such complex associations.
He sat in Kuixing Pavilion for half an hour, but he didn't see Sun Daozhong come out, which made him a little depressed. Who would have thought that all of a sudden the three principals of the Sun family would receive him in person, leaving him stunned.
Faced with the insinuations and pretense of magnanimity from several people, Chen Huaisheng was still confused for a while before he finally understood.
Faced with this situation, he was really a little uneasy and uneasy.
My unintentional visit has actually had such a dividing effect. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
It seems that the head master's talks with the Ding family are not going smoothly, but he has been staying with the Ding family and has not left. That basically means that the Ding family is determined to join the sect, but the Ding family The asking price was too high, so I froze.
The relationship between the Ding family and the Sun family does not seem to be as close as imagined. For the clan, a daughter is definitely incomparable to the clan, so it is normal for the Sun family to have other ideas.
What the other party revealed in his words is that the Sun family is not a vassal of the Ding family, and the Ding family has no right to use the interests of the Sun family to make deals with the Chonghua sect. The Sun family is more willing to deal with the Chonghua sect. Direct dialogue and negotiation.
"I understand what you all mean. It's just that the matter is serious and Chen has no right to make a decision, but I will definitely convey your wishes." Chen Huaisheng weighed his words carefully, "As for what you are worried about, I think No need. The Chonghua Sect has never been that domineering style. No matter how we cooperate in the end, I believe it will be very pleasant. Moreover, I also believe that the Sun family and our Chonghua Sect come together and it is definitely in the interest of both parties. "
The Sun family felt a lot more at ease when they heard Chen Huaisheng's sincere and decisive statement.
Chen Huaisheng said that it would take the next day to reply, and they "understood it by heart". After all, they had to discuss with the Ding family manor before they could give a reply.
The next thing is a trivial matter. The collection of books in Kuixing Pavilion is completely open to Chen Huaisheng, allowing Chen Huaisheng and the other three to find what they need.
I have to say that the Sun family was really a powerful family a thousand years ago. This collection of books alone is a treasure trove. If such a family can be used by the Chonghua Sect, it will increase the strength of the Chonghua Sect. Absolutely huge.
In Chen Huaisheng's opinion, perhaps in the long run, it will be more useful than the Ding family.
But for Chen Huaisheng now, those are still too far away. He just wants to get what he wants.
It took the three of them two full hours, until it was dark, to finally find what they wanted.
The Sun family was generous and did not even check the five volumes of geographical and historical records related to Dongxuanzong and Wolongling.
Everything about Dongxuanzong and Wolong Ridge is too far away for them. No matter how valuable it is, it means little to them.
Based on reality and striving for the most direct benefits is what they need to consider most now.
"Are you sure?" Ding Yuangao's face was as gloomy as water.
"Confirmed." The person who came whispered: "The person who reported the news saw the meeting between the man and the man named Yao, and followed the clues to find out that the man stayed in Kuixing Pavilion for most of the day. The three people from the Sun family I’ve all met that person.”
Ding Yuangao took a deep breath and glanced at the skinny man, "Senior brother, what do you think?"
"Why don't you tell Master." The skinny man smiled bitterly, "Whether it was the Sun family who took the initiative to contact Chonghua It doesn’t matter whether the Chonghua faction or the Chonghua faction comes to find the Sun family. The Chonghua faction definitely needs the Sun family and Kuixing Pavilion. This is a hit-and-run thing, something you and I are willing to do. And no matter how close the relationship between us and the Sun family is, But they are two families after all..."
Ding Yuangao rubbed his temples, feeling extremely distressed and annoyed.
My wife is the legitimate daughter of the Sun family, but in-laws do not mean that the two families have the same interests. Moreover, the Sun family has been a prominent local family for thousands of years. It has just declined in the past two hundred years, but it has never given up.
In contrast, the Ding family only produced a genius like his father, whose background was much different, and his own talent was limited. The reason why his father was willing to discuss getting started with the Chonghua sect was because In fact, it is also for the next generation of the Ding family.
Seeing that Ding Yuangao remained silent, the skinny old man sighed: "Junior brother, master must have a longer-term and more thoughtful consideration than us. In fact, we don't have much restrictive power over the Sun family. If we insist on intervening or want to let him go, If they sacrifice the interests of the family, it will only accelerate the disunity of the Sun family. Since the master has decided to join the Chonghua sect, it is better to finalize it as soon as possible so that they can communicate with the Sun family. As for the Sun family, even if they want to. What does the Chonghua sect have? The Ding family is at least their in-laws, so it can be more reliable for them, right? ”
