Ji Tianxing could tell.
Qi Huanzhi was sometimes muddle-headed and absurd, but sometimes righteous and generous.
In fact, he was sometimes childish and stubborn.
Regardless, Qi Huanzhi was no fool.
He did not have high hopes for Deacon Ye, who was coming tomorrow.
"Don't worry, Brother Tianxing!
I'll explain the situation to my father and invite you to participate in the martial competition as a Venerate.
We'll try not to use the Blood Sword Sect as much as possible.
My father isn't muddle-headed. He should understand. "
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "Young Master Qi, you worry too much. I'm only willing to help you because you're forthright and righteous.
I don't care if you're a Venerate or not. "
"Hey, Brother Tianxing, don't say that!" Qi Huanzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I've decided to invite you to be a Venerate of the Qi Family, and I won't change my mind.
Only then can we justify it and shut the mouths of the other aristocratic families.
Moreover, you've helped us take back Mystic Light Cave. That's a huge favor.
No matter what requests or difficulties you have, as long as the Qi Family can do it, we'll do it! "
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "It's still too early to talk about this. Let's talk about it after the matter is settled."
Hence, the two of them chatted for a while more before they went to rest.
The next day.
Qi Huanzhi only woke up late in the morning and asked Ji Tianxing to go to the Qi Family with him.
Ji Tianxing declined, saying that it was inconvenient for him to show up for the time being and that he would wait for news in the Star Moon Pavilion.
Qi Huanzhi guessed that it had something to do with the Blood Sword Sect and did not insist.
He left the Star Moon Pavilion alone and rushed back to the Qi Residence.
…
Qi Huanzhi returned to the Qi Residence. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw two house-sized fire sparrows standing in the courtyard.
He knew at a glance that they were the mounts of the Blood Sword Sect.
As expected.
In the conference hall of the main hall, Qi Tianlong was entertaining two distinguished guests.
Qin Peipei and Ning Siyuan were not in the hall.
The two guests from the Blood Sword Sect were led by a thin man in a black robe with a mustache that resembled the character 'Eight'.
This person was a member of the Great Yan Divine Clan. His face was thin, and his eyes were sharp and bright. He gave off a sinister aura.
Qi Huanzhi could tell that this person was Deacon Ye.
The other guest was a handsome young man from the Great Yan Divine Clan who was nearly ten feet tall.
This person wore a fiery red robe, and his purple hair was tied into a ponytail. There was a green divine jade belt around his waist, and he looked very free and easy.
Of course, this handsome red-robed youth was extremely cold and arrogant.
He held a purple divine sword in his arms and sat on a chair with his eyes closed. He ignored Qi Tianlong and wanted to turn his nose up at the sky.
Qi Huanzhi sized him up and saw that he was a half-step Divine Monarch, so he understood his identity.
A genius disciple of the Blood Sword Sect.
At this moment, Qi Tianlong saw Qi Anzhi outside the hall and shouted, "Anzhi, come and greet Uncle Ye and Senior Brother Mu!"
Qi Huanzhi was displeased, but he could only force himself to enter the main hall and bow.
"Nephew Qi Huanzhi greets Uncle Ye."
Deacon Ye stroked his mustache and nodded at him without saying anything.
Qi Huanzhi bowed at the red-robed youth. "Huanzhi greets Senior Brother Mu."
The red-robed youth still had his eyes closed and did not respond. He ignored Qi Huanzhi.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but Qi Tianlong could not be too harsh.
Deacon Ye smiled and explained, "Mu Ye is the Fourth Elder's last disciple and one of the five most outstanding geniuses in the sect.
He was born like this, and the elders can't do anything about it. Please don't blame him, Patriarch Qi. "
In other words, Mu Ye was a genius of the sect and was used to being arrogant. It was normal for him to ignore them.
Qi Tianlong smiled and said, "It's normal for a young genius to be arrogant."
Then, he looked at Qi Huanzhi and said, "Huanzhi, father and Deacon Ye are discussing important matters. Sit down and listen."
Qi Huan Zhi nodded in agreement and took a seat at the head of the table.
At this moment, Deacon Ye said, "Patriarch Qi, let's continue our conversation.
This is Mu Ye's first time in Azure Mountain City, so you can rest assured that the other aristocratic families won't see through his identity.
Moreover, even if the four aristocratic families and the City Lord's Mansion find out Mu Ye's identity, they won't dare to become enemies with our Blood Sword Sect.
Mu Ye's true strength is stronger than Yuwen Jie's, so he will definitely help the Qi Family take back the Profound Light Cave. "
Qi Tianlong was overjoyed. Without any worries, he quickly nodded and said, "That's good! Seventy years ago, it was our Qi Family and the Chi Family who discovered the Profound Light Cave.
Who would have thought that the City Lord's Mansion would benefit from it and mine it for seventy years!
This time, the Qi Family must take back the Profound Light Cave that originally belonged to us! "
Deacon Ye stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Since this matter will definitely succeed, let's talk about the price.
After this matter is done, the Qi Family will be responsible for mining the Profound Light Cave, but we want seventy percent of the divine stones and resources produced every year!
Moreover, the Qi Family must pledge allegiance to our sect and work for us! "
Qi Tianlong and Qi Huanzhi's expressions immediately changed.
One had a solemn expression, while the other was angry.
Qi Tianlong coughed lightly and squeezed out a smile, saying, "Deacon Ye, isn't this condition a bit … too harsh?
Our Qi Family will be responsible for mining and will need a lot of manpower and resources, but we can only get thirty percent?
As for pledging allegiance to the Blood Sword Sect … this matter can be discussed later. What do you think? "
Deacon Ye smiled and shook his head, saying, "Our sect has a large business and tens of thousands of disciples to support. We must take seventy percent.
This is also the opinion of the Elders. There's no room for discussion!
Moreover, after the Qi Family pledges allegiance to our sect, you will receive our protection and your business will be even more prosperous in the future. "
Qi Tianlong's face sank.
He was well aware that the Blood Sword Sect was taking advantage of the situation.
Moreover, once the Qi Family pledged allegiance to the Blood Sword Sect, they would become the Blood Sword Sect's bank and servant.
The Blood Sword Sect would have to give them money and manpower whenever they wanted.
With the protection of the Blood Sword Sect, the Qi Family's business would indeed rise to another level.
However, no matter how much money the Qi Family earned, it would still be to serve the Blood Sword Sect!
After a moment of silence, Qi Tianlong probed, "Deacon Ye, can you take a step back for the sake of our friendship?
Why don't we split it fifty-fifty? "
Deacon Ye raised his eyebrows and sneered playfully, "Patriarch Qi, I'm afraid you won't be able to achieve great things with such indecisiveness.
I won't hide it from you. Not only did your Qi Family contact me, but the Chi Family and Lu Family also invited me to be a guest.
If you don't want to seize this opportunity, then I can only take my leave and make a trip to the Chi Family and Lu Family.
Patriarch Qi, for the sake of our past relationship, I'll give you ten breaths of time to consider. "
Qi Tianlong's expression changed, and a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that the other two families would also contact Deacon Ye.
This was troublesome.
Before he could say anything, the furious Qi Huanzhi couldn't hold back and coldly shouted, "Deacon Ye, you're looting a burning house!
You've gone too far!
Won't your shameless actions tarnish the reputation of the Blood Sword Sect? "
Mu Ye, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
He coldly glanced at Qi Huanzhi and sneered, "A frog at the bottom of a well dares to criticize a deacon of our sect?
Trash, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy on the stage tomorrow! "
