The Gu family spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, defeated more than a dozen competitors, and finally got the gambling license. Someone actually wanted to buy it for one yuan.
At first, the Gu family thought it was someone joking, but after the other party revealed their identity, they realized it was not a joke, but an open-arm robbery.
Li Xuan also said strangely: "Your Gu family is the top wealthy family in Jinjiang. Which family has such confidence that it wants to swallow you whole?"
Gu Xinyue said: "The person coming this time is not an ordinary dragon crossing the river, it is the Su family of Pingzhou."
"Oh?" Li Xuan knew that the largest wealthy families in Ping'an Province were all in Pingzhou, and the top four were also Chang Qin Su Zhao. Some time ago, Li Xuan went to Pingzhou to treat Mr. Chang, and he saw him
Su Tian from the Su family.
The Xu family is also considered a wealthy family in Anzhou, but it is only a branch of the Chang family, which shows the huge power of these four families.
The Gu family is definitely one of the top wealthy families in Jinjiang, but compared with the four families in Pingzhou, it is much inferior.
Gu Xinyue said: "The Su family is one of the four great families in Pingzhou. Its influence is not only spread throughout Ping'an Province, but also has many branches throughout South China. And this time, behind the Su family, there are two major ancient martial arts families.
The Tu family in Daqingshan and the Shi family in Bailushan.”
Li Xuan said: "Isn't your Gu family protected by Master Hong? Are you still afraid of the two Guwu families?"
Gu Xinyue shook her head and said: "It's different this time. The Su family also invited the Celestial Masters from the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Sect to sit in the formation. If Master Hong doesn't take action, he may alert the Celestial Master Sect!"
"Longhushan Tianshi Sect? Is it a sect of Qi Refiners?" Li Xuanqi asked.
As soon as this question came out, everyone was more surprised than Li Xuan, and everyone looked confused. Apparently they thought this question was too simple, how could it come from Li Xuan's mouth.
Gu Xinyue was also surprised and said: "Master Immortal doesn't know about Longhu Mountain?"
Li Xuan shook his head. He really knew nothing about the Qi Refiner sect on Earth.
Gu Xinyue said: "We also know very little about Longhu Mountain. We only know that they claim to be the orthodox lineage of Qi Refiners and have a history of more than two thousand years."
"Oh. If there is a chance, I would like to discuss with them." Li Xuan became interested.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Others were afraid of Longhu Mountain and avoided it. Why was Li Xuan so eager to try it?
Gu Xinyue explained again, and Li Xuan finally understood.
The Su family, relying on the two ancient martial arts families of the Tu family and the Shi family, as well as the banner of Longhu Mountain, exerted aggressive pressure and wanted to seize the Gu family's gambling license without spending a cent.
No, it's not that you don't spend a penny, but you pay one yuan.
Li Xuan said: "It's too bullying. Do all your wealthy families have this style of doing things?"
Gu Xinyue smiled bitterly: "Not all other families are like this, but the Su family is used to being domineering. A similar situation happened many years ago. That time, a family in Huncheng was unwilling to be bullied by the Su family and rose up to resist...
"
"Then what?" Li Xuan asked.
Gu Xinyue said: "As a result, the aristocratic family was ruined, their families were destroyed, and their descendants fled to the ends of the earth. They were all found and killed by the Su family!"
Li Xuan's eyes widened. Isn't this what happened to him in his previous life?
Isn’t this how the Zhang family treated themselves in the previous life?
Wealthy families may look glamorous on the outside, but they don't know how dirty and despicable they are hidden behind the scenes. A lot of the money they make is made up of the blood and tears of ordinary people.
Gu Xinyue saw that Li Xuan's face was not good, and she didn't know what she said was wrong, so she quickly said: "If Master Immortal finds it difficult, we don't dare to trouble you, so we can only give the gambling cards to the Su family to avoid the disaster of annihilation...
…”
Li Xuan said: "No need to say any more, leave this matter to me."
"Ah!" Gu Xinyue thought that even if Li Xuan agreed, he would have to put in all his good words and offer enough benefits. Unexpectedly, Li Xuan took over without asking.
Everyone in the Gu family was also stunned, not expecting it to go so smoothly.
Gu Chengru said excitedly: "Master Immortal is willing to help, and our Gu family has been saved. Master Immortal, after the matter is completed, we are willing to offer 30% of the proceeds from the gambling cards..."
Li Xuan was noncommittal. Although he didn't care much about money, the money that was delivered to his door should not be wasted.
After receiving Li Xuan's promise, the Gu family members all felt relieved and stood up to toast.
Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "Forget it about drinking. I still have friends waiting for you. You can do what you want. When the Su family comes, I will handle it."
Everyone hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Immortal Master!"
Li Xuan said: "There is no need to send the others away. Gu Xinyue is coming with me."
Gu Xinyue sends Li Xuan out.
Li Xuan said: "I have something, please help me investigate."
"Please give me your instructions, Master Immortal."
"You also know my cousin Yang Mengmeng. Please help me find out how she met Zhu Xieqing and why she married Zhu Xieqing. I'll give you three days." Li Xuan said.
Gu Xinyue said hurriedly: "Yes!"
Li Xuan returned to private room 505, but Zhao Gang hadn't come back yet.
After waiting for another twenty minutes, Zhao Gang still didn't come back. Liu Wei called twice, but no one answered.
Liu Wei stood up and said, "Sorry, I'll go over and take a look."
It took another ten minutes to go there, and everyone was a little confused, what were these two people doing?
Suddenly, Liu Wei hurriedly opened the door and came in.
Yu Bo said: "Liu Wei, what happened? Where is Zhao Gang?"
Liu Wei said: "It's nothing... He is still accompanying the sponsor. Let's drink first. He will come over later."
The others didn't ask much when they saw this, but Li Xuan saw that Liu Wei's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, and her tone of voice was a bit wrong.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Li Xuan stood up and walked out of the private room, heading towards private room 518.
At this moment, in private room 518, Zhao Gang had a glass of liquid mixed with various messy ingredients in front of him. The people next to him kept shouting: "Drink it, drink it, drink it!"
Zhao Gang hesitated and did not move. A young man with a strong build and a short beard said displeasedly: "Zhao Gang, what do you mean, don't give me face?"
"Brother Hui..." Zhao Gang smiled bitterly, "How dare I not give you face? But can you drink this thing?"
"Why can't you drink it?" Brother Hui's eyes widened, "Beer, Sichuan peppercorns, mustard, chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, isatis root granules, tell me which one is not something to drink? We didn't put anything poisonous for you, you
Don’t worry, you won’t get anything wrong with drinking.”
Seeing that Zhao Gang was still hesitating, Brother Hui snorted coldly and said: "Haha, Zhao Gang, your wings are stiff now that you are a sophomore, and you don't listen to me anymore? Should I change someone to join me in the next activity?"
Zhao Gang was stunned and quickly said: "Brother Hui, that's not what I meant!"
"Then what do you mean?" Brother Hui said, "When you were a freshman, you were not like this. You did whatever I said. Last winter, we had dinner with the sponsor and asked you to lick the parallel bars on the playground. You did it.
It's there, and I'm not afraid if my tongue sticks to it. Why are you so gibbering now that I only ask you to drink something?"
Zhao Gang was at a loss and said: "I drink... Isn't it okay if I drink?"
He picked up the cup, looked at the mixed colors of liquid inside, gritted his teeth, and was about to drink it in one gulp.
At this moment, the door of the private room was kicked open with a "bang" kick.
