Chapter eight hundred and twentieth eight: the battle of willows
"But..." Yang Mu was unwilling to give in.
Guirong glared at him coldly and said: "Nothing but. If Deputy General Manager Yang feels that what I did is wrong, he can complain to the heads of the Yangliu and Guisan families and let them judge whether this matter is right or wrong. If it is me,
If I do things unfairly, they can also ask them to remove me directly."
Manager Gui's words immediately won the praise of everyone around him. This is the style that a wealthy family should have. No one can find anything wrong with their work.
Manager Gui had spoken up to this point, and Yang Mu did not dare to raise any objections. Facing Liu Wei, he could still be reckless, but now facing Gui Rong, he had no confidence at all, not only because of the difference between the official and the deputy, but also because of the
Guirong is one generation older than him, and his cultivation is much higher than him.
With Guirong here, Yang Mu knew that he had lost face today and could only slowly regain his place in the future. So he gave Qingyang a cold look and turned away with several of his guards. Not only did he let him go,
After leaving Qingyang, Xiying and Xiao Yuhan were not taken away either.
Seeing Yang Mu walking away, Qingyang, Xiying, and Xiao Yuhan gave a deep salute to Guirong at the same time and said: "Thank you, senior, for upholding justice."
Guirong waved his hand and said calmly: "You're welcome. This is what I, Wantong Pavilion, did wrong. I should apologize to you. The three of you are not only victims of the robbery of the spirit ship, but also for me."
Wantong Pavilion has provided clues, and I will send people to deliver rewards and compensation to you later, but please inform you in detail about the blood skeleton."
Qingyang said: "This is what we should do. This junior and others will never dare to hide it."
Guirong nodded, then turned to Liu Wei and said, "Since Deputy Manager Liu is familiar with them, you can send them off, and you will be responsible for contacting them in the future."
Liu Wei naturally wanted this. Although the matter was finally resolved by General Manager Gui, his contribution in it was not small. If he hadn't insisted on it, he probably wouldn't have been able to delay General Manager Gui to come forward. Therefore, Qingyang must have
I am grateful. If I take this opportunity to connect with each other again, the relationship will be stronger in the future.
Things were over here, and the spectators gradually dispersed. Guirong turned around and entered Wantong Pavilion. Liu Wei and Manager Sun sent Qingyang, Xiying, and Xiao Yuhan away for more than ten miles until the three of them entered.
On another street, the two of them turned around and returned to Wantong Pavilion.
On the way, Manager Sun couldn't help but ask: "Miss, is it worth it for you to offend the Yang family and Yang Mu so much for such a young man?"
Liu Wei was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "If it were before, it would definitely not be worth it, but now, I have to do it, no matter whether it is worth it or not."
"Why is this?" Manager Sun asked.
Liu Wei said: "Other people don't know. As the manager in Wantong Pavilion who is responsible for the purchase of elixirs, you should be able to see some clues. Recently, Wantong Pavilion has had some problems in the supply of elixirs. The root cause is
I’m afraid my grandfather’s days are numbered.”
Manager Sun can only be regarded as a middle-level person in Wantong Pavilion, but he is mainly responsible for the purchase of elixirs, so he still knows a little about elixirs. As Liu Wei said, Wantong Pavilion's supply of elixirs has recently gone out.
There were some problems, especially the extremely scarce high-level Juyuan Pills. Because of this, Wantong Pavilion specially asked him to increase the intensity of acquisitions. When he heard that Qingyang had Juyuan Pills, not only did he rush to
When I came over, Deputy Manager Liu also took action personally.
However, he thought it was just a temporary problem that would be solved soon, but he did not expect that the matter would be so serious. The eldest lady's grandfather, the head of the Liu family, had a problem. Manager Sun couldn't help being shocked, and quickly asked: "Miss, what are you doing?"
What you mean is that King Liu Dan is not affected by some things and cannot make elixirs, but his life is in danger?"
Liu Wei looked around and saw that no one was eavesdropping or paying attention, so she whispered: "Yes, but only a few people in the Liu family know about this matter. Even Yang Gui
Both families don't know, so don't spread the word casually."
Even the Yang Gui family didn't know the news, but the eldest lady was able to tell herself. This was an absolute trust in herself and she had to keep the secret no matter what. Manager Sun was extremely moved and said: "Don't worry, eldest lady, I know the seriousness of the matter."
, this matter will never be spread outside."
Liu Wei also knew that Manager Sun was very strict, so she dared to reveal it to him, so she nodded and said: "You also know that my grandfather is only more than 300 years old this year. Calculated according to the 400-year lifespan of a Golden elixir monk.
, he should still have decades to live, and we all thought so. Unexpectedly, a few months ago, his physical condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. After diagnosis and treatment, it was discovered that grandpa had suffered a disaster when he was young and had lost all his health.
The great vitality has even damaged the foundation of the monks, and the life span of four hundred years has been greatly shortened to only a few years left."
As a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, Steward Sun also has a deep understanding of the situation of Golden elixir cultivators. Golden elixir cultivators have a lifespan of four hundred years. There will be some differences between each person, but the difference is not big.
It's a matter of a few years. It's rare to lose decades like King Liu Dan. Usually it's because the foundation was damaged when he was young or he used some forbidden secret technique.
The reason why King Liu Dan is important to the Liu family is not only because he is the only late-stage Jin Dan monk in the Liu family, but also because he has excellent alchemy skills. He is not only the only Dan King in the Liu family, but also the only Dan King in Wantong Pavilion.
The Alchemy King that Qingyang talked about.
It is said that there are not ten but seven or eight Jindan monks in the Liu family. If there is only one late Jindan monk suddenly missing, the impact on the entire Liu family will not be destructive. The key to the problem lies in the interests of Wantong Pavilion and Yangliu.
There was an open and secret fight between the two families.
Wantong Pavilion has three major shareholders, namely the Yangliu and Gui families. Although the Gui family occupies the position of general manager, the family's share in Wantong Pavilion is relatively small, and the family power is not great. There is not even a late Jindan monk.
So the dispute is mainly between the Yangliu family.
In the past, the Liu family was able to suppress the Yang family with its strength that was similar to that of the Yang family and King Liu Dan's influence on Keqing alchemy masters. However, once King Liu Dan passed away, the Liu family not only lost a late-stage Jindan monk, but also
I have the support of the entire Keqing alchemist group.
Because two of the three guests in Wantong Pavilion, King Zhun Dan, are close to the Yang family, and the other one is from the Gui family, and there is no direct descendant of the Liu family, so once something unexpected happens to King Liu Dan, the Liu family will be in Wantong Pavilion.
The control power will drop sharply, not only unable to compete with the Yang family, but even slightly inferior to the Gui family. From then on, the Yang family will become the dominant family, while the Liu family will completely decline.
