Cultivation: I have an inventory
Chapter 48 The Patriarch of the Cao Family
Some are happy and some are sad.
In order to find out all the 'traitors' in Lingfu Pavilion, especially to find out who the talisman masters who cooperated with the Cao family were, Zhou Changkong chose to visit personally and meet the head of the Cao family.
The Cao family has built foundations in one family and two in Nanshanfang, and is the undisputed first family in Nanshanfang.
But in Zhou Changkong's eyes, he still had no weight, he was just a country bumpkin.
Two monks who were in the early stages of foundation building were ruling the roost in this remote place. In front of the Luoxia Sect, they could be destroyed with just a few clicks!
Even if he is alone, he thinks that he can easily convince the two major Cao family members to cooperate with him in his investigation.
After all, they are both in the early stages of foundation building, so there is a gap in strength!
He comes from the Luoxia Sect of the Jiedan Sect, and his fighting skills can defeat the early stage of rural foundation building.
However, the final result...
Zhou Changkong returned without success, and even left the Cao family in despair.
Of course, the Cao family also gave Zhou Changkong face, and for the sake of the Luoxia Sect, they did not publicize what happened.
However, from then on, Zhou Changkong did not cause any trouble for the Cao family and asked the Cao family to hand over the true identity of the cooperating talisman master, so he could only investigate secretly.
But even if the Cao family did not cooperate with the secret investigation, clues were quickly found.
Because of the existence of the Lin sisters, they are indeed a bit different and eye-catching.
Instead of serving others, it is really suspicious that two foreign female casual cultivators with no skills or background should become the guests of the Cao family and have a mysterious source of funds to do business.
Even Lin Zixi is vigilant and has never revealed to anyone that she has a talisman supply relationship with the Cao family. No one knows how she got in touch with the Cao family, and she is still targeted by Zhou Changkong, who thinks that Lingfu Pavilion is the most hidden. The traitor's 'white gloves'!
Just when Zhou Changkong was about to ask his men to attack the Lin sisters, fortunately Lin Zixi was sharp enough and smart enough to notice something was wrong in time, and analyzed that the chain reaction after Bai Wuji's departure might involve her. .
After careful consideration, she had no choice but to break the boat and publicize her close relationship with the Cao family. The Cao family had promised that they would help her solve any trouble she encountered.
This was the only way she could think of to break the situation.
Fortunately, she made the right bet this time.
As the first family in Nanshanfang, the Cao family even wants to devour the other two families, forming a situation where they dominate Nanshanfang and develop Nanshanfang into their own family's "private domain", so they will not allow their reputation to be damaged.
How can you be convincing if you can't even keep your own partner? So even if they faced Lingfu Pavilion, they didn't want to conflict with it, so they had to come forward again.
…
"Cao Hao, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Or do you think that your cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building is enough to challenge the Luoxia Sect?"
Zhou Changkong's eyes were filled with anger as he stared ahead at the middle-aged monk who looked to be about forty years old.
This person is Cao Hao, the current head of the Cao family. Fifteen years ago, he was the second monk of the Cao family to successfully build a foundation!
He and Mu Renjie, the head of the Mu family, are the two most junior among the six foundation-building monks in Nanshanfang.
Cao Hao established his foundation about a year later than Mu Renjie.
But no one in Nanshanfang knew that Cao Hao was the least qualified, but he came from behind and became the first monk in Nanshanfang to reach the middle stage of foundation building!
If Zhou Changkong hadn't come to Xingshi to question him half a year ago and was so domineering, Cao Hao might not have revealed his true strength.
This is also the reason why Zhou Changkong returned without success and no longer provoked the Cao family head-on.
He was confident that he could dominate the monks in the early stage of foundation building, even with one against two, but when facing the middle stage of foundation building, he did not have the confidence to fight across the levels.
Moreover, this Cao Hao is in the middle stage of foundation building at a young age. He is probably very talented and talented, and he also has his own opportunities.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, please be patient. No matter how arrogant and arrogant Cao is, he would not dare to become an enemy of the Luoxia Sect." Cao Hao smiled faintly, "It's just that these Lin family sisters do have the letter of my Cao family. I The Cao family promised to solve it for them if they encounter any trouble now and let Shopkeeper Zhou take them away. How will our Cao family gain a foothold in Nanshanfang in the future?
Zhou Changkong snorted coldly, "After all, don't you want to confront me, Luoxia Sect?"
Cao Hao shook his head: "No, it's not that serious. I know that Shopkeeper Zhou wants to find the mysterious Talisman Master, but Shopkeeper Zhou thinks about it, if the mysterious Talisman Master is so easy to find, why didn't our Cao family look for it before? I I am sure that Lin Zixi herself does not know the true identity of this mysterious Talisman Master. If she knew, the mysterious Talisman Master would let her stay safely before disappearing and leave...or simply not take her away. Once and for all? Obviously, he knows that Lin Zixi cannot reveal his identity. "
Zhou Changkong frowned when he heard this.
I have to admit that what Cao Hao said makes sense.
Most of the Lin sisters were kept in the dark and did not know the true identity of the mysterious Talisman Master.
Otherwise, they would not still be in Nanshanfang, or even alive.
"Catch them, the hope will always be greater." Zhou Changkong still refused to let go.
This matter now not only involves finding out the mysterious talisman master behind it, but also affects his face!
The Cao family wants face and a foothold in Nanshanfang, doesn't he need it?
Even if he has to leave sooner or later, he will still have to do things for at least the next few years.
Cao Hao sighed after hearing this and said: "How about this, we both take a step back. I will go back and take back the Cao family's letter. From now on, the Lin family sisters will no longer be guests of the Cao family. But shopkeeper Zhou also needs to promise me that he will not How about attacking the Lin sisters again?"
Zhou Changkong rolled his eyes, and finally said 'ok' and agreed.
…
Cao's Lingfu Shop.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need to struggle anymore, just hand over the letter talisman." The shopkeeper Cao Sheng said with some pity.
Lin Zixi was unwilling to hand it over.
Without the Cao family letter talisman, she would be knocked back to her original form in an instant, and all the forces that had given her face in the past would turn their backs on them.
There will even be villains who add insult to injury...
But what can be done?
If she doesn't hand it over, will the Cao family continue to help her in the future? It will only make things worse and make the Cao family hate her.
After handing over the letter charm, Lin Zixi felt disappointed and asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, if I have trouble in the future, can I trouble you again..."
Cao Sheng heard the implication. Lin Zixi wanted to ask if the Cao family would not help her again in the future, but if he personally was willing to help her again.
pity.
In fact, he still has a good impression of Lin Zixi, a little girl, and wants to lend a helping hand.
But now, he can no longer intervene or have the final say.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't think about anything else at this time. The head of the family asked me to give you a message. If you want to survive, you should leave Nanshanfang now. Otherwise, it will be too late, and you may not be able to leave even if you want to..."
Cao Sheng advised.
The new shopkeeper of the Lingfu Shop has an agreement with the family owner that he will never do anything to the Lin sisters again.
But if this person is small-minded, it is not difficult to order someone to do it.
That’s all.
Lin Zixi left in despair.
…
…
night.
Level C cave area, inside the cave of the Lin family sisters.
Lin Ziyu shook his sister's hand and said, "Let's leave Nanshanfang."
Lin Zixi, who was always full of energy and youthful vitality on weekdays, seemed to have lost all her energy at this moment, murmuring: "Leave Nanshanfang, where are you going? Should you go back to the Lin family and continue to suffer? What's more, the Lin family is in turmoil outside now. There were many crises, and they even sent people to contact us, asking us to help set up a branch in Nanshanfang, but we got angry and said, "How can we go back?"
Lin Ziyu said: "We still have savings, so we can go to other Xiuxianfang cities and fairy cities and start over again!"
Lin Zixi shook his head and said: "It would be fine in normal times. The current situation is turbulent, and we sisters are not outstanding in cultivation. Unless we leave with the caravan, there will be many dangers. But our little savings are not enough to buy a place in the caravan. , let alone settling in other cities... Therefore, our best way out is to find a way to stay in Nanshanfang, but the Cao family will definitely not help us anymore, and we must find it before Lingfu Pavilion takes action against us. New backer..."
"The Cao family is already the number one family in Nanshanfang. They don't dare to confront Lingfu Pavilion head-on. Who can let Lingfu Pavilion give face?" Lin Ziyu frowned.
Suddenly, the two sisters seemed to have a tacit understanding and thought of something.
Then the two of them looked at the cave next door at the same time.
From the outside, it is almost impossible to find a backer that makes Lingfu Pavilion fearful.
But, what if the two sisters directly ‘join’ the Lingfu Pavilion?
Let the people from Lingfu Pavilion protect them!
