Cultivation Family: Starting by Taking a Concubine and Practicing the Sun and Moon Sutra

"This...is indeed what he said, but..."

Without waiting for the words to be finished, Zhou Daoqi continued to interrupt: "Secondly, Miss Zhao Yunzhi is the wife of the sixth brother, my sister-in-law, and your nephew-in-law. Since she joins my Zhou family, she is a member of my Zhou family. This kind of The behavior of judging behind your back really shouldn’t happen to your elders.”

"This..." Several elders looked stunned, not expecting Zhou Daoqi to say this.

Since coming to Baiqi Pavilion, Zhou Daoqi has spent most of his time practicing and occasionally taking charge of the shop, but most of the time he still relies on the ideas of a few elders.

I didn't expect that this time, he would be so sharp.

"Dodge, what you said is indeed true, but you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are when you are not a family member. The family's losses this time are far beyond your imagination. Let alone earning 1,300 spiritual stones a year, it will be difficult for you to get back your money this year!"

Zhou Daoqi did not show any concern and said: "Since it has happened, there is no need to blame others. The most important thing is to solve the problem."

Zhou Shouyun frowned and asked, "Dodge, seeing that you are so confident, do you have a solution to the problem?"

Zhou Daoqi raised his eyes calmly, with a look that was too mature for his age. His slightly bloated body looked bigger than several elders.

"Elders, since the head of the family has asked me to be in charge of Baiqi Pavilion, I will go all out. Next, if you act according to my plan, I can guarantee that Baiqi Pavilion will turn the crisis around and even gain far more income than before."

"Dodge, you are still too young, this..."

Seeing that several elders still wanted to say something, Zhou Daoqi continued to increase his chips.

"When I left the family, I already asked the head of the family. I have full authority to decide all matters in Baiqi Pavilion. If you have any opinions, you can ask the head of the family in person."

An elder looked at each other, and finally showed a helpless smile: "It doesn't matter, since the head of the family has agreed, then it's up to you."

After hearing this, Zhou Daoqi also put away his serious expression, smiled on his face, and bowed deeply to the elders.

There is no real conflict. The elders also think about the family. They are the older generation who have been working for the family all year round and dedicated their lives to the family.

Out of his own heart, Zhou Daoqi still respects them very much. Sometimes... the older generation is still too stuck in the rules and it is difficult to bring about changes.

Zhou Daoqi sat on the main seat, his round eyes revealing a profound edge, and said: "Uncle Shoujin, you have been in Sifangfang City for many years and have been in charge of Baiqi Pavilion. I think you have accumulated a lot of contacts. ?”

"It's barely okay, what do you think?"

Zhou Daoqi said calmly: "Uncle Shoujin, please continue to find connections and try to open up the transportation channel of the Changze River."

"Oh, I keep trying, but it's no use."

"No, every time we transport magic weapons, the Ma family can accurately grasp the time and carry out sneak attacks on us. There must be a reason for this."

"Could it be...there's a traitor in the family!"

Zhou Daoqi's mouth twitched, he glanced helplessly at his fourth uncle, shook his head and said: "No, I mean, the Ma family should not be that well-informed about the news. It is probably other small forces nearby who are monitoring us. Most of them use If you want money to do things, you can try to get in touch. ”

"I see, why didn't I think of it before?"

Zhou Shoujin suddenly understood and nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Daoqi rubbed his fat face. He really didn't know how his fourth uncle stayed in the position of the master of Baiqi Pavilion. Could it be through the back door?

"Fourth Uncle, I still want to advise you to do your best to do the best and don't be stingy with gifts. There is no harm in having good dealings with these small forces."

"I understand, your fourth uncle has not been fooling around all these years. You can eat, drink, and get a massage in a three-piece suit, so you can rest assured!"

After saying that, Zhou Shoujin ran out carelessly.

"I... I'm really not too worried!" Zhou Daoqi sighed, he had to feel relieved even if he was not worried.

Then he looked at Zhou Shouyun on the side: "Eighth Uncle, there will probably be no results from Fourth Uncle's place. Also, I have to trouble you to accompany me on another trip."

Zhou Shouyun, who was wrapped in bandages, smiled and said: "Don't say just one trip, it's okay to make ten trips. But don't think your fourth uncle is careless. He is still proficient in human relations, so don't worry."

"I know." Zhou Daoqi stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "The point is not the fourth uncle, but the Ma family."

"you mean?"

"Since the Ma family chose to use this method to block our transportation channel in the Changze River, it shows that they have been prepared for a long time and will not let us reopen it easily. We have to find another way."

Zhou Shouyun thought thoughtfully: "But this waterway is currently the closest and fastest transportation channel."

Zhou Daoqi's small eyes burst out with a bright light: "Since the waterway is impassable, let's open a new one!"

"Create a new path?"

"Yes!" Zhou Daoqi turned around and said, "Leave this matter to me. I have an appointment with someone this afternoon. Uncle Eight, please accompany me there. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."

Zhou Shouyun was in a daze for a moment when he saw the chubby but high-spirited young man in front of him.

Once upon a time, those children who were running around and shouting "eight uncles and eight uncles" all day long have grown up and begun to shoulder the responsibilities of the Taoist generation.

Moreover, the confidence and courage shown by Zhou Daoqi at this time reminded him of the prodigies who had appeared in the family before. Those clansmen who had become the head of the family and became foundation-building masters might have been so outstanding when they were young.

"Yes, you are worthy of being the foundation-building seedling of my Zhou family..." Zhou Shouyun muttered to himself, and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, he had a vague premonition that this generation of the Zhou family would be very extraordinary and might lead the family to a new height.

...

Danyue Mountain Zhu Family.

Zhou Daobai bowed and said, "Junior Zhou Daobai of the Zhou family, meet the head of the Zhu family."

"Zhou family? What do you want?" Zhu Changqin looked at the book in his hand without looking up.

The Zhu family is also a foundation-building family, slightly stronger than the Zhou family. It has two foundation-building masters and a complete second-level alchemy inheritance. It is a famous alchemy family in the area.

Therefore, the head of the Zhu family did not need to pay too much attention to Zhou Daobai, a junior. He was even willing to meet him once, which was a great honor.

Zhou Daobai did not care, but said directly: "I have heard that the Zhu family's alchemy skills are unparalleled, and no one within a hundred miles can match them. I accidentally got a pill formula and want to sell it to the head of the Zhu family."

"Oh? A pill formula?"

Zhu Changqin became interested and asked: "What quality of pill? If it is a common pill formula, my Zhu family should not be short of it."
