Tai Shuyong's eyes suddenly became distant and deep, and he sighed softly: "The world is changing so fast, it's really unexpected. The federation is now divided, with the six major powers each taking charge of one side, and Faya watching in secret, and it's in chaos. Our great uncle's family is in chaos. Although we are determined to restore the family's former glory, we still know that we are weighing two cents. The ambition to compete in the world is just a joke to our uncle's family. However, it is not easy to survive in these troubled times. "

Chen Mu listened patiently to these nonsensical things Tai Shuyong said. But in his heart, he also felt that Tai Shuyong was not wrong. Times have changed. The current era belongs to the Six Greats and Faya, but it does not belong to declining aristocratic families like them.

The old man suddenly stopped, turned to Taishu Cheng and said, "Go and call Ying'er."

Taishu Cheng was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Mr. Qiao, don't worry, let's drink tea for a while first." The old man said with a smile.

If it were another person, Chen Mu would have already resorted to violence. But facing an old man with gray hair, he was a little restrained. Moreover, this old fox always gave him an unpredictable and profound feeling, which made him very afraid. The determination on his face made him believe that the old man must have some trump card in his hand, otherwise he would never risk coming to see him in person.

Connery is not terrible, but the old man will definitely not have such a little power in his hands, no matter how bad the reputation of the uncle's family is.

Even Tang Hanpei couldn't destroy an aristocratic family by one person. No matter how powerful one card cultivator is, he cannot compete with thousands of card cultivators at the same time.

But the family's fear of masters will not be reduced at all. If you completely offend a powerful card repairman, the other party will only need to continuously attack and harass him, which no one can bear. The bigger the family and the bigger the business, the more they fear this hand.

After a while, Taishu Ying was brought to the old man by Taishu City.

"Grandpa!" Taishu Ying shouted crisply. She was obviously not as afraid of the old man as Taishu Cheng was.

The expression on Tai Shuyong's face became more kind: "Xiao Yingzi has grown a lot taller. Do you miss grandpa?"

"Yes!" Tai Shuying responded very seriously. The usual ghosts and ghosts had long since disappeared. She tilted her head and said in confusion: "How strange, Grandpa, why are you here today?"

Tai Shuyong did not answer, but smiled and said: "Xiao Yingzi, go and help grandpa get something, okay?"

"What is it? Grandpa." The strange look on Tai Shuying's face became even more serious. Although she was young, she was smart and clever. She always felt that today was weird.

"Do you still remember the small room that grandpa took you to?" Tai Shuyong said in a persuasive way.

"Remember." She glanced at her father timidly and replied like a gnat. She didn't tell her father about this because she was a little afraid that he would punish her. But she quickly raised her head again, and she remembered that her grandfather had not allowed her to tell her father.

"Well, Xiao Yingzi went there to help grandpa get something, which was the purple wooden box. Do you remember?"

"Remember!" Taishu Ying said happily. Her grandfather only took her to that small house once, and she was not allowed to move around. This time she went in alone so she could look through what good things there were in it!

"Well, go ahead. Connery, you go with the lady." Tai Shuyong said calmly.

Connery hesitated for a moment, then responded: "Yes!" After that, he accompanied the excited Taishu Ying out.

Taishu Cheng's face was pale just now, but now it is flushed, and his eyes can't hide the ecstasy! He didn't expect that his father would actually take Ying'er there! The brothers all knew about the existence of the small house, but their father had never taken them there. Could it be that his father planned early on to let his team take over?

Chen Mu roughly guessed what Tai Shuyong asked Tai Shuying to get, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Although he tried his best to look calmer, the sophisticated Tai Shuyong still saw the clues: "Haha, it seems that the golden-spotted soft bacteria is very important to Mr. Qiao!"

His tone suddenly became solemn: "Originally, the old man shouldn't have made any demands this time. It's just that the situation was special. My uncle's family was on the verge of life or death. The old man had no other choice, so he took this step. This time The old man did not act kindly and did not dare to have any other extravagant expectations. He only asked Mr. Qiao to help my uncle's family get through this! If Mr. Qiao likes my uncle's family, please feel free to speak."

At this point, Chen Mu also knew that unless he didn't want the Soft Fungus, he had no choice but to agree. He took a deep breath and said, "What exactly is it, old gentleman, please tell me clearly."

Tai Shuyong smiled bitterly, with wrinkles on his face, making him look even older. He said slowly: "I wonder if Mr. Qiao heard that Shuangyue Hanzhou is planning an alliance?"

"I heard it." Chen Mu nodded. The alliance planned by Shuang Yue Han Continent was concealed from the beginning, and then made public in a big way. Now everyone in the Federation knows about it.

"Shuangyue Hanzhou came forward, and Jia Yingxia personally presided over it. No one in Tiandongli District can refuse!" Tai Shuyong said with an unusually sure tone: "As one of the oldest families, my Taishu family is closely related to Tiandongli District. All the families are inextricably linked. To be honest, if this alliance is completed, my uncle's family will have one vote among the thirty-two votes in the alliance parliament! In addition to these thirty In addition to the two votes, there are seven other families as preparations. However, my great-uncle's family has been in decline for too long, and this decision-making power has been questioned by many people, and these are all to seize the weakness of my great-uncle's family's weak combat power. . Huh, they are very jealous of this ticket." Tai Shuyong's turbid eyes became cold: "In fact, not only our uncle's family, but also four other families were also questioned. In the end, the council decided that at that time, Qianhu City will hold the entire Tiandongli District Kaxiu Elite Competition, and our five families, as well as the seven substitute families, will send Kaxiu to compete at the same time, and the families of the five highest-ranking families will get the right to decide!"

Chen Mu finally realized at this moment. Just when everyone is paying attention to when the Tiandong Alliance will be formed, they have already completed the alliance! What they are doing now is just dividing power within the alliance. However, the reason why the great-uncle family can get a vote of decision-making power is not just because of their ancient history! Tai Shuyong, as expected, kept his secrets secret and got the vote that countless families in Tiandongli District dreamed of! Even Faya did not hesitate to use force against their vote, which shows the importance of one vote's decision-making power.

No wonder Tai Shuyong did such a thing even at the risk of offending himself. He had always been surprised that Tai Shuyong's actions were not very clever. Now it seems that the competition within the league is also very cruel, forcing the experienced Tai Shuyong to this point!

But he has always been puzzled by another question: "I'm very surprised, how does the old gentleman know my identity?"

"Haha!" Tai Shuyong laughed, with a bit of pride: "Mr. Qiao probably doesn't know yet, but the news of your sneak attack on Faya's station has spread throughout Dongrui City. Everyone knows about you [Black Line Star List] ] Qiao Yuan, who is ranked 50th, is now in this Dongrui City! How many masters can there be in the small Dongrui City? The old man immediately thought of Mr. Qiao. After checking, Mr. Qiao was indeed there during that time. After leaving the building, the old man was sure that Manager Bai was Mr. Qiao!"

"How did it come out that Faya was attacked?" Chen Mu looked solemn. Tai Shuyong could find out, but he was afraid that many people in Dongrui City had begun to doubt his identity. This was bad news for him, especially if Faya knew about it, it would be troublesome.

"Although Faya has always wanted to keep it secret, how could we local snakes in Dongrui City not know about such a big movement? But don't worry, Mr. Qiao, I have already released the news. Mr. Qiao was having dinner with me during that time. The evidence is very conclusive. I believe no one will doubt Mr. Qiao." Tai Shuyong said with a smile.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and felt even more awe-inspiring in his heart. This old fox was flawless in everything he did, and his methods were sophisticated and scheming. He was no match for him.

He also understood that this was one of Tai Shuyong's trump cards. Once there was a falling out, there would be no benefit to Tai Shuyong's family, but he would be in even greater trouble.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mu finally nodded: "I can promise you. However, I will explain one thing in advance. I can only try my best and cannot guarantee any ranking."

Tai Shuyong breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxed, and said with a smile: "What the old man wants is Mr. Qiao's words! If Mr. Qiao makes any guarantee or anything like that, the old man can't believe it." He then mused: "Although it's true. He is eager to obey his authority, but in the end Mr. Qiao has suffered a lot. If Mr. Qiao needs any compensation, just ask." There was a bit of heroism in his words: "My great-uncle's family is quite wealthy. There are still small things passed down from our ancestors to this day. There are a few pieces, pick one for Mr. Qiao next time, it will be considered as a little favor from the old man!"

The two parties finally reached an agreement, and Chen Mu felt much more relaxed. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then the old gentleman will let down his ancestors again?"

The old man heard the words and said with a disdainful smile: "No matter how good these things are, they are nothing more than dead things. As long as Taishu's family rises, there will be no need to worry about no one sending things like these." On the other hand, Taishu Cheng on the side showed a bit of pain. color.

Tai Shuying and Connery finally came back. Tai Shuying was holding a purple wooden box in her arms. The wooden box looked a little old and must have been there for some time.

"Grandpa, is this it?" Taishuying approached Taishuyong as if asking for credit.

Tai Shuyong kindly praised: "Little Yingzi is so smart!" After saying that, he handed the purple wooden box on his hand to Chen Mu: "Here is the golden-spotted soft fungus, Mr. Bai, take a look." He resumed talking to Chen Mu. Mu's old name, then introduced: "The golden-spotted soft liquid fungus needs to be contained in a purple maple box that is more than a hundred years old, otherwise it will deteriorate. The wood of this purple maple box was five hundred years old when it was made. .”

Chen Muqiang suppressed his excitement and slowly opened the wooden box.
