Jiang Shuyi was silent for a while after listening to Lü Shu's words. Then, he suddenly said, "I don't know if it's too presumptuous of me to say this, but I don't mean anything by it … I'm asking if you are willing to work for our family. I'm not asking you to leave Tengra Earth Net. I'm just asking you to join a faction. That way, your life will not be so stressful."
To be honest, Jiang Shuyi was a relatively simple person. Therefore, when he spoke, he would directly mention the word "faction" instead of talking about secret cooperation and bribing.
Lü Shu was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me misunderstanding you. We've known each other for so long, and I won't misunderstand. In fact, even in a Chinese language school outside of Luoyang City, Cao Qingci is more valuable than me. Or rather, in the long run, Liu Li is more valuable than me. Thank you for your kindness. I know you are doing this out of kindness, but I don't like to be restrained … "
If he had to join someone, deep down, Lü Shu would probably be more willing to join Li Xianyi's side. Although ideals were very dangerous things, Lü Shu still could not understand what the so-called ideals of the people in the foundation were for.
But it was always simpler and more fulfilling to get along with people with ideals.
However, this was just a hypothetical situation. In fact, if the conditions allowed it, Lü Shu would not join any faction.
Jiang Shuyi was a little silent. "Sorry."
He knew very well what kind of person Lü Shu was, so he was more worried that Lü Shu would feel that such a solicitation was an insult.
However, Lü Shu smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be like that. I won't treat my friend's kindness as malicious intent. By the way, have your families already begun to try to extend their hands into Tengra Earth Net? Does Nie Ting agree? "
Jiang Shuyi shook his head. "It's all done in secret. It's not just us. Most families have their eyes on Tengra Earth Net."
At first, many businessmen wanted to recruit students or awakened ones from the Dao Yuan class, but it was only a small matter.
Business and families were two different concepts.
The family had been secretly testing the bottom line of Tengra's Earth Net. More accurately, they were testing the bottom line of Tengra.
Then, everyone realized in despair that it was impossible to turn the Tengra Earth Net into a weapon in their hands.
However, there was a reason why the family had been able to stand strong for so long. Therefore, the think tanks turned their attention to the inside of Tengra's Terra Net. Since it was difficult for external forces to exert influence on Tengra's Terra Net, everyone started to work from the inside.
Although you, Nie Ting, are now in charge of Tengra and no one can shake your Terra Net, that's because you are now the number one expert in the Eastern Continent. Maybe someone will surpass you in the future?
Even if no one surpassed you, there would still be a day when you would meet with an accident or die of old age.
For the families, the lifespan of humans was no longer a factor that limited their vision. What they wanted was to live forever.
Whether or not he could do it was one thing, but if he didn't do it, he wouldn't be able to do it.
This was the vision of the families. In fact, they did not pursue immediate benefits. Instead, they pursued the results of their business.
They turned their own economic advantages into hidden power in the future. They did not necessarily hope to get a big share of the cake in the future, but at least they could not be worse than others.
This was the reason why when the disaster came, the merchants who were temporarily in power were in a precarious situation, while the foundation of the families remained unshaken.
While the merchants were still pursuing immediate benefits, the families had already stood on the top of the mountain with the widest view and started to make arrangements and prepare for a rainy day.
Moreover, this was not an aimless thing. Now that there were seven Tengra in charge of various places, it might be difficult to win over a Tengra, but it was relatively easy to win over a Level C grand cultivator. The difficulty of winning over a Level D was even lower. Not to mention Level E, Level F was not even in the eyes of the families.
In reality, most of the complicated matters within the Tengra's Earth Net were handled by the Level C grand cultivators. Apart from Nie Ting, the other Tengra rarely dealt with government affairs, either to avoid arousing suspicion or to focus on their cultivation.
Of course, the other Tengra might have done it for these two reasons, but Li Yixiao must have done it because he was lazy …
Among all the Tengra, Li Yixiao was the one that the families hated to deal with the most. This guy practically accepted all the benefits, but after that, he would act like a troublemaker and ignore everyone.
In the beginning, everyone thought that this fatty might be a little stupid. Later on, they realized that he was not stupid at all!
Lü Shu was suddenly curious. "Logically speaking, the burden of recruiting talents for your family falls on you. Why are you still so aloof?"
"I don't have to do it. Someone else will do it." Jiang Shuyi shook his head.
"I'm very curious. Which family has recruited Cao Qingci?" Lü Shu had always been curious and concerned about this one and only Level A genius in Luoyang City. If Cao Qingci had been as cowardly as the other students in the ruins, he would not have asked this question.
However, back then, as a girl who had never participated in any battles, she had shone brilliantly in the ruins. She had single-handedly massacred an entire skeleton team. This was not something that anyone could do.
And Lü Shu knew very well that Cao Qingci was actually a monster who cultivated both cultivation and awakened abilities!
It must be noted that back when the Tengra's Earth Net had not established the Dao Yuan Class system, Lü Shu had already sensed the energy waves on her body.
When Jiang Shuyi heard Cao Qingci's name, a complicated expression flashed past his face. "This girl is really not simple. She has now rejected all contact from the families. All she thinks about is cultivation and nothing else. Now, many people are saying that her name might be on the list of Tengra candidates in the future. "
When Chen Zu An and Gao Shenyin returned, Chen Zu An grumbled unhappily as he walked, "Gao Shenyin, why can't you think about it from another perspective? I'm not afraid of danger or difficulties. I just want to participate in the battle in the ruins. Tell me, am I the same as those nouveau riche?"
Gao Shenyin shut his mouth and did not say anything. To him, the truth that he had not experienced was nothing. Only when Chen Zu An truly displayed his courage and bravery would he truly acknowledge this so-called new friend.
Chen Zu An was unhappy to see his attitude. He glanced at Lü Shu and hesitated for a moment before looking past him. Then, he glanced at Jiang Shuyi's cold face and looked past him. Finally, he saw the adorable Lü Xiaoyu. He was instantly overjoyed. "Xiaoyu, do you think I'm the same as those nouveau riche?"
He really did not have the courage to ask the two in front of him. He was afraid that he would be hurt. However, Lü Xiaoyu was different. He looked very obedient and cute.
"You're not the same. You can eat much more than them," Lü Xiaoyu said as he looked at the plate full of food in Chen Zu An's hands.
Chen Zu An, "???"
"Negative emotions from Chen Zu An, + 99 …"
