Chapter 188 Invitation from the Gao Family
Funiu Mountain, in the Song family meeting hall.
Along with the patriarch Song Changfeng, several elders of the Song family have been sitting here discussing for several hours.
"Patriarch, what do the Gao family mean? They plan to use an empty shop with no business in the market to replace one of our shops with the best location. Isn't this an open robbery?" Song Changxiong, the law enforcement elder, said angrily. He patted the table in front of him.
Song Qingwan was a little depressed and said: "Uncle Thirteen, the Gao family is now powerful, and the Supreme Elder has disappeared again. It has been three days since I sent a letter to the Huang family, but there is still no news. They must not be interested in this matter anymore. We will not bow our heads." What can I do, I can’t blame Uncle Six for this.”
"I know it's not his fault, but I'm just so worried that I feel uncomfortable if I don't say it out loud!"
"Changxin, what do you think about this?" Song Changfeng, the patriarch sitting at the top, asked Song Changxin, the elder of Shanggong who had been silent from the beginning.
Seeing that the eyes of several people at the scene turned to him, Song Changxin said calmly: "Since the Gao family is so powerful, we should bow our heads. Without Qing Ming, it is almost impossible for us to hold on to these properties. Yes, in the world of immortality, strength is the most important thing in the end, and we are really too weak in the eyes of others."
The faces of several Song family elders at the scene turned a little ugly when they heard Song Changxin speak so bluntly, but none of them opened their mouths to refute. Although these words were a bit cruel to them, they were indeed an iron rule in the world of immortality.
This is just the first step for the Gao family to test them. Next, they will look for opportunities to slowly acquire the entire Song family's property in Qinghefang. As long as Song Qingming, the foundation-building monk, does not show up, most of the Song family's property will be lost sooner or later. It was taken away by others. Naturally, the experienced elders of the Song family here are well aware of this.
Song Changfeng nodded and said, "Everyone knows that the Song family is what it is today mainly because of the impact of Qingming's foundation establishment, not because of me, the patriarch.
Now that the Gao family is so powerful, even the Huang family has chosen to avoid the limelight. Changxin is right. Even if we don't bow to the Gao family now, we still can't prevent these things from happening. Show it to the Huang family.
We will send a message back to the Gao family later. Three days later, we will send someone to Qinghefang to discuss with them in detail how to hand over the matter. "
"Sixth brother, why don't we wait a little. Qing Ming is very lucky. I believe he can turn disaster into good luck this time." When several elders saw that the clan leader had made a decision, they didn't say anything again. Only Song Changxiong remained. He insisted with some reluctance.
Song Changfeng looked at Song Changxiong who was still a little excited in the distance, sighed and said: "Thirteenth brother, I also want to believe that Qingming will be fine, but we can't gamble with the fate of the clan. At least the Gao family can't take a step back now." Will fall out with us immediately.
If we want to revitalize our Song family, we will definitely not be able to rely on ourselves now. If we don’t have the strength to place our hopes on others, we will not be able to do it for a long time. I have decided that no matter what happens next, I will retreat and try to build the foundation. I During the retreat, Chang Xin first took care of family affairs for me. "
"Brother Six, please don't be impulsive." Everyone looked surprised when they heard that the clan leader wanted to retreat and forcibly build a foundation.
As the head of the Song family, Song Changfeng is now over eighty years old, and has long passed the best age for foundation building. Moreover, the Song family does not have a foundation building pill now, so the chance of success can be said to be very slim. If you are not careful, there will be Your life may have been wasted.
Song Changfeng smiled calmly and said: "A monk's pursuit of Taoism is nothing more than living towards death. My life has been mediocre and I always feel that I lack a little courage. I am not an impulsive person. Please stop trying to persuade me. , now that Qing Ming is gone, it is my turn as the clan leader to do something for the clan."
——
Two days later, at the foot of Funiu Mountain.
Song Qingming had just returned. Before he could enter the mountain-protecting formation, he suddenly saw a figure shaking not far below, as if he wanted to escape from here.
"Who is sneaking around here?" Song Qingming shouted, then turned his sword light and flew down to intercept the monk who was trying to escape.
A young man wearing a yellow Taoist robe saw Song Qingming suddenly flying towards him. He quickly knelt down and said, "Senior Song, please forgive me. I'm just passing by here."
"Passing by? Which monk are you from?" Song Qingming frowned and asked again unhappily.
The man in yellow rolled his eyes, and then replied: "I am a casual cultivator, just passing by."
"You are really dishonest. Do you think I don't know you are here to spy on the Song family? Tell me your identity quickly before I get angry." Song Qingming changed the subject and spoke coldly. After saying this, a somewhat unhappy tone began to appear in his words.
"Senior Song, please calm down. I am Gao Yulong. I am here to deliver letters on the orders of the elders in the family. I am here to see when Senior Song will come back. I have no intention of harming the Song family. I would like to ask Senior Song to warn you."
Facing the strong pressure emanating from Song Qingming, the man in yellow panicked and quickly admitted his identity.
The people of the Gao family, how long have I been away? These people's hands are really stretching out so fast. When Song Qingming heard this person say his name, Song Qingming instantly knew who sent him.
Seeing that this kid was just a guy who was arranged to be under surveillance, Song Qingming didn't want to embarrass him and kicked him away.
Then Song Qingming stepped on the flying sword and circled around Funiu Mountain again, frightening away several figures hiding nearby. Song Qingming did not pay attention to these people. He knew that these people were either from the Huang family or from other nearby families. The monk forced them to come out just to tell them that he was back and there was no need to monitor this place anymore.
Soon, the Song family monks on Funiu Mountain also discovered Song Qingming and hurriedly went to notify the clan leader Song Changfeng and others.
Seeing that no one was watching Funiu Mountain anymore, Song Qingming landed directly on Funiu Mountain with his flying sword.
"It's true that the sky has eyes and our ancestors are blessing us!"
When Song Changfeng and others saw that Song Qingming had returned safe and sound, they were all excited and breathed a sigh of relief. They had learned about Song Qingming's disappearance during this period. They had been tense and did not relax for a moment.
After saying hello to everyone, Song Qingming directly asked Song Changfeng: "Uncle Sixth, has the Gao family sent someone here?"
Song Changfeng nodded and handed a letter directly to Song Qingming and said: "The Gao family sent someone here a few days ago. The head of the Gao family, Gao Jinhe, invited us to go to Qinghefang to talk about things in the city. Since you have already I’m back safely, I think it’s up to you to decide this matter!”
