Chapter 140 A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold(1/2)
"pity......"
Chen Xianhe shook his head.
"What's the pity?"
Chen Daoxuan looked at Chen Xian congratulated with some confusion.
Hear the words.
Chen Xianhe sighed: "I feel sorry for Brother Zhou. This matter should not have been done by the Zhou family, but in order to calm down the matter and buy themselves time to investigate the matter, the Zhou family had to sacrifice Brother Zhou."
Chen Daoxuan frowned slightly: "Could it be that...the Zhou family can't report it to the Qianyuan Sword Sect?"
Chen Xianhe shook his head and said nothing.
...
at the same time.
Yang Gongwan, standing next to Yang Linyuan, asked exactly the same question as Chen Daoxuan.
"Grandpa, why didn't the Zhou family and the Wu family report this matter to the Qianyuan Sword Sect?"
Yang Gongwan looked at Yang Linyuan in confusion.
Who knew that when Yang Linyuan heard the words Qianyuan Sword Sect, his expression froze slightly.
a long time.
He sighed: "It's not that I can't, but that I don't want to!"
"Don't want to?"
"That's right,"
Yang Linyuan nodded, "Before the Shenjue Rebellion, the Zhou family was the Jindan family. Although after the Shenjue Rebellion and the battle of Zhennanguan, the Zhou family's vitality was severely damaged.
But with the rise of Zhou Mubai, the Zhou family gradually gained strength and prestige comparable to that of its peak period.
Plus...the Zhou family wants to become the first family in Cangzhou!"
"The first family in Cangzhou?"
Yang Gongwan was surprised and said, "Why should the Zhou family..."
Before she finished speaking, she thought of Zhou Mubai and Patriarch Zhou, whose family was one step away from the golden elixir.
Silence fell.
At this moment, Yang Gongwan vaguely understood why the Zhou family did this.
The death of a member of the Jiji clan who neglected his duty calmed the anger of the major families in Guang'an Mansion and gave the Zhou family time to investigate the matter.
In the Zhou family’s opinion, it’s worth it!
Otherwise, once this matter reaches the Qianyuan Sword Sect, the Zhou family will not only lose face in front of the Guang'an Prefecture colleagues, but will also leave an image of incompetence to the entire Cangzhou comrades.
Until then.
Even if there is another golden elixir cultivator from the Zhou family, in the eyes of outsiders, he will be no different from the current Ye family.
How can a family that can't even settle small matters within Guang'an Mansion become the No. 1 family in Cangzhou?
The Zhou family now needs time to restore their lost face.
at this point.
Chen Xianhe understood it, and so did Yang Linyuan.
Even Zhou Mucheng was vaguely prepared for this before coming here.
"Then why didn't the Wu family report it to the Qianyuan Sword Sect?"
Yang Gongwan looked at her grandfather again.
Yang Linyuan said quietly: "Compared to the Zhou family, the Wu family has lost more than a hundred foundation-building monks. They have completely lost it. What they need more than revenge is to think about the present and the future."
"Thinking about the present and the future?"
When Yang Gongwan heard this, she became even more confused.
"Before the Shenjue Rebellion, the Wu family, like my Yang family, was a large family with nearly ten Zifu monks.
Over the years, with the Shenjue Rebellion and the Battle of Zhennanguan, the Wu family has gradually declined to this day.
What they lost was not only their strength, but also the crumbling hearts and minds of the family. Especially the loss of more than a hundred foundation-building monks from the Wu family this time was the last straw that broke the hearts of the Wu family.
Rather than investigating the truth of the matter, what Wu Guangyi needs to do first is to unite people's hearts."
Yang Linyuan's eyes were deep, "Otherwise, if people's hearts are lost, the family will be doomed."
Gather the hearts of the people.
Yang Gongwan felt very strongly about this.
Because the Yang family once declined step by step just like the Wu family.
As the family's strength declines, so does the popularity of the family.
In this situation, it was not until Yang Linyuan broke through the Zi Mansion and formed the Guang'an Immortal Alliance that the Yang family finally regained their confidence.
Sometimes, confidence is not worth mentioning, but sometimes, confidence is too important.
Yang Linyuan didn't know that Yang Gongwan had thought so much at once, and continued: "As for the future...
Wu Guangyi knew clearly that what he wanted was to unite the hearts of his people, not to completely offend the Zhou family. After all, the Wu family still has tens of thousands of monks, and they will continue to continue the family in Guang'an Mansion in the future.
If he ignores reporting to the Qianyuan Sword Sect, he will give the Zhou family a hard slap in the face in front of his comrades in Guang'an Prefecture and even the entire Cangzhou comrades.
No matter how things end, the Zhou and Wu families will have a never-ending relationship from now on.
Do the Wu family dare to fight to the death with the Zhou family?"
Hear this.
Yang Gongwan suddenly became enlightened.
For a cultivating force, strength is of course fundamental, but reputation and face are also important.
Even something second only to strength.
Consequences of losing reputation.
Just look at the fate of the Ye family in Cangzhou.
Not to mention in Wan Xinghai, in Cangzhou, and even in Guang'an Prefecture, how many people are really selling the Ye family accounts now?
When the monks of the Ye family walked outside, they were ridiculed and ridiculed.
Although the Ye family in Cangzhou is known as the first family in Cangzhou, it is only barely so in terms of strength, but in terms of reputation, no family will recognize them.
Now the Zhou and Wu families want this face, and Zhou Mucheng, who neglected his duty, is the victim.
...
While everyone was talking.
There have been new changes on the field.
At the moment when Zhou Mucheng was about to kill him, Zhou Mucheng's son Zhou Siliang rushed forward regardless.
"Old thief of the Wu family, how dare you touch my father!"
"Liang'er! No!"
When Zhou Mucheng saw Zhou Siliang's actions, his face turned red and he said angrily.
Zhou Siliang didn't care about the dissuasion of his seriously injured father. His eyes turned red, his eyes flashed, and he rushed towards Wu Guangyi.
After all, not everyone can compete across levels like Chen Daoxuan and Zhou Mubai. Zhou Siliang, a mere monk who has just established a foundation, is no match for Wu Guangyi, a monk who has completed the foundation building.
"roll!"
I saw a flash of sword light.
Wu Guangyi's flying sword appeared in front of Zhou Siliang.
"well!"
See this scene.
Chen Daoxuan sighed.
Originally, this matter was the choice of the Zhou family and Zhou Mucheng, and Chen Daoxuan had no right or intention to interfere.
But at this moment.
Zhou Siliang is about to die in front of him.
Chen Daoxuan had to ask.
next moment.
A ray of starlight arrived first and sent Wu Guangyi's flying sword flying away.
