Two Paths
After Chu Xingyun returned to the courtyard, he closed the door and opened his arms. He exhaled heavily and smiled, "Come out."
Xiu!
As soon as he spoke, a graceful figure appeared in front of him. She was wearing a red dress and had a delicate face. It was Qin Yuyan.
"I've only just returned to the courtyard, yet Miss Yu Yan came here in such a hurry, could it be that you're here to ask for something from me?" Chu Xing Yun had already sent Yan Du and Gu Qing Shan away, so there were only the two of them in the courtyard.
"Ask for benefits? What do you mean? "Qin Yuyan's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Just now in the stands, you repeatedly asked Yang Yan to recruit me. Even when I proposed the ridiculous condition of becoming a core disciple, you tried your best to persuade him. Based on our friendship, it shouldn't be that deep."
Chu Xing Yun's eyes shone brightly. He smiled faintly, "From what I can see, Miss Yu Yan must have something to ask of me. Or perhaps, you want to get some benefits from me. This is the way the Qin Clan does business."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's analysis, Qin Yuyan was shocked. So, Chu Xingyun saw everything that happened in the stands. What a meticulous mind. It seems that she still underestimated Chu Xingyun.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yuyan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and said directly, "Since you've already seen through it, then forget it, I won't conceal it. I want to invite you to join the Qin Clan in the name of the Qin Clan and become an honorary guest!"
"Honorary guest?" Chu Xingyun's eyes narrowed. Obviously, he didn't expect Qin Yuyan to make such a request.
The Qin family was one of the giants of the Liuyun Dynasty's Chamber of Commerce. They had a huge amount of wealth. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were as rich as a country.
An honorary guest of the Qin family had an extremely high status and held a lot of power. Even in the Imperial City, they were influential figures.
Just like that, asking Chu Xingyun to become an honorary guest of the Qin family was too sudden.
"Can you tell me the reason?" Chu Xingyun remained calm and asked.
"Two days ago, I listened to you and sent people to investigate my second uncle. They found out that my second uncle had secretly taken control of many shops in the Qin Family and had shady dealings with many other families. The recent turmoil in the Qin Family was caused by him. According to my speculation, he should be trying to usurp the position of Patriarch!"
Qin Yuyan clenched her fists. Even now, she still found it hard to believe.
A month ago, Qin Ruyan learned from Gu Qing Shan that the Qin family had suffered a series of setbacks. The family was in an unprecedented predicament.
At that time, she began to search for the reason, but she never made any progress.
Until two days ago, when Chu Xingyun asked her to investigate Qin Tianfeng, she found out that all of this was secretly manipulated by Qin Tianfeng. His goal was to pull Qin Tianyu down and become the new patriarch of the Qin family.
"Sure enough, it's Qin Tianfeng!" Chu Xingyun's heart was slightly cold. His previous guess was right.
Looking back at Qin Yuyan, Chu Xingyun asked again, "Since you know that all of this is Qin Tianfeng's conspiracy, you should inform your father in time. What's the use of inviting me to be an honorary guest?"
"To be honest, as early as a few years ago, my father was seriously ill and unable to take care of the Qin family's affairs. What's more, Qin Tianfeng has secretly cultivated his own forces. Even if my father crusades, it may not be effective. Instead, it may force Qin Tianfeng and put my father in a desperate situation."
"Now, the only person who can help me and the Qin family is you, Chu Xingyun. I hope you can accept my invitation and lend me a hand!" As Qin Yuyan finished speaking, she bent her back slightly and bowed to Chu Xingyun.
As she said, there were not many people who could help the Qin family. Chu Xingyun was meticulous and understood the situation of the Qin family so well. He was the only person Qin Yuyan could rely on.
"I'm free and easy by nature. I don't like to be bound by others. I can't accept the position of an honorary guest." Chu Xingyun stared at Qin Yuyan. His words made Qin Yuyan's heart tremble. She was stunned.
"Moreover, even if I'm willing to help you, it's impossible to revive the Qin family by relying on our strength. The so-called upper echelons of the Qin family have long been bribed by Qin Tianfeng. In their hearts, Qin Tianyu has long been gone. Even if we kill Qin Tianfeng, there will be a day when they will rebel. The Qin family will still perish." Chu Xingyun's voice was stern. What he said was the truth.
For a huge family to prosper, it must be united.
If the people's hearts were scattered, it would be difficult for the family to survive.
If the people's hearts were disloyal, the family would perish.
Back then, after Qin Tianyu's death, Qin Tianfeng became the new head of the Qin family. However, not long after, the Qin family perished. This showed that the hearts of the Qin family had long been different.
Even if they were saved, it would be a mess. There would be no chance of survival.
Qin Yuyan's eyes were empty. She sat on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Is there really no other way? Is our Qin family destined to perish?"
Even Chu Xingyun said such words. Qin Yuyan had completely fallen into a daze. Hot tears streaked across her delicate face and dripped on the ground, leaving streaks of tears.
"It's not that there's no way." Seeing Qin Yuyan like this, Chu Xingyun also couldn't bear to see her like this.
"What way?" Qin Yuyan seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. She raised her head, her eyes full of desire.
"The interior of the Qin family is already empty. Many shops have also fallen into the hands of Qin Tianfeng. If you want to make a comeback, you must be ruthless. Kill those who are disloyal, rebuild the chamber of commerce, and fight against him!" Chu Xingyun's eyes were like lightning as he spoke his thoughts.
"Kill those who are disloyal and rebuild the chamber of commerce?"
Hearing this, Qin Yuyan's eyes were blinded. She felt that the whole world was spinning.
After a long while, she recovered and said bitterly, "Although it's difficult to kill those who are disloyal, there is still a glimmer of hope if we try our best. However, rebuilding the chamber of commerce is too difficult. It's simply impossible."
The Qin family had stood in the Liuyun Dynasty for hundreds of years. It relied on the wisdom and hard work of countless predecessors to achieve today's Qin family.
If they wanted to abolish these chambers of commerce and rebuild them, it would be too difficult. It was almost like starting from scratch.
More importantly, in the current Liuyun Dynasty, there were countless families and forces. Any territory had been divided up. If they wanted to find an opportunity to expand, it would be no different from snatching food from a tiger's mouth. It was extremely difficult.
"I've already said everything that needs to be said. You can either watch the Qin Clan fall into Qin Tianfeng's hands, or you can break and rebuild, carving out a bloody path. Think about it carefully."
Chu Xingyun walked in front of Qin Yuyan. His eyes were deep as he said, "Tell your father what I said today word for word. If you decide to choose the second path, you can come to the Lingxiao Martial House to find me. However, if you choose the first path, please do not disturb me because of this matter."
After saying this, Chu Xingyun strode towards the secret cultivation room. Just as he was about to step through the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back. "I have said twice that no matter what, if you have not tried it, don't jump to conclusions. The word 'impossible' has never existed in my, Chu Xingyun's, dictionary!"
As he stepped into the secret cultivation room, the heavy door immediately closed with a rumbling sound.
