C1028 To visit the Qin family again!
1Ximen Lanqing really wanted to directly make a decision to eliminate Qin family at all costs. Ximen family was already in a lot of danger, it was practically being surrounded by enemies and she couldn't lose face in Eternity Continent again.
If a family that was one of the Four Great Guards of the Ximen family publicly betrayed them without paying a price, what would those clans that were not loyal to the Ximen family think? If someone tried to stir up trouble from the inside, the situation in the Ximen family would become even more serious.
But Ximen Lanqing knew that she couldn't easily make this crazy decision. The times were different, and the status of Ximen family was also different. In the past, when the Ximen family wiped out an entire clan, everyone would think that the Ximen family was very powerful and should not be provoked.
Now that the Ximen family had killed the Qin family, no matter how beautiful and neat he killed him, it was still a sign of incompetence, a sign of hysteria after the sun had waned. Let alone those clans that were eyeing him covetously, even the internal conflicts in the Ximen family might be triggered because of this.
What the Ximen family needed now was a true protection of his dignity. If he could cause the two small clans that belonged to the Ximen family to return to the Ximen family with their might, it would definitely be a type of boost to the Ximen family.
With Old Hu Xiong Feng here, it was a command for the subordinates of the old clan from ten thousand years ago to return. This was the prestige of the old clan, the experts of the Holy Land and the small clans, who had been hesitating on whether or not to surrender to the Ximen family, would also have the same thoughts towards the Ximen family.
It could be said that the treatment given to the Qin family was already related to the overall situation in the Ximen family. Even if the Qin family went overboard, the order to exterminate him could not be easily taken down.
The more Ximen Lanqing thought about it, the more serious she felt. Her thoughts also gradually cooled down from her anger.
He began to comfort Nie Yinghua on the other hand.
"Brother Yinghua!"
"Sir Lan Qing, please call me by my name if you dare not."
"Hey, how can this be? Nie Family was one of the four great guards of the Ximen family ten thousand years ago, and even the Ximen Ancestor relied heavily on the left hand and right arm. In the eyes of the Ximen family s, there is no difference whatever between the two, as long as they are family. Since they were family, why should they be so clear about their position in private? Or maybe you don't think I'm qualified enough to be your brother? "
After calming down, Ximen Lanqing had changed back to that smiling face. She was old and experienced, and had a smile on his face that was hundreds of thousands of miles deep.
Although Nie Yinghua knew that these were Ximen Lanqing's courteous words, she couldn't help but be moved by Ximen Lanqing's attitude and waved her hands, saying that she didn't dare to, with her usual extremely humble expression.
"Brother Yinghua, don't be too modest. It's a promise, we'll call each other brothers from now on in private. There are no outsiders here. Sit down and let's have a good chat for the greater picture in the future."
Nie Yinghua was well aware of the changes in Ximen Lanqing's expression, and had more or less guessed a few things. Even though she was extremely angry, she did not dare express it, and could only sit down, modestly listening to her lecture.
Ximen Lanqing patted Nie Yinghua's shoulder across the table and sighed, "Brother, I know that I have caused you to suffer grievances, but I'm afraid that Nie Family has never suffered such grievances before. I must be really depressed right?"
"No, no, no!"
"Hehe, don't deny it. It is normal for people to become angry after suffering from grievances, so there is nothing to deny about it. Even I felt wronged when I first listened to your orders, so my heart was filled with anger, I wanted to directly rush up the mountain and destroy Qin family. "
This time, Nie Yinghua did not say anything.
Sure enough.
Ximen Lanqing continued to speak: "But, the present is different from the past. There are some things that if no one is around, I will treat you as an outsider. Holy Land is currently facing some problems and needs Qin family to do some big things, so we cannot eliminate the Qin family for the time being, do you understand that? "
Nie Yinghua's heart was already in turmoil, it could be said that she had scolded Ximen family badly. What the hell? Do you really think I'm an idiot? Ximen family could actually still tolerate Qin family after coming to this point. It was obvious that Ximen family's tyrannical strength was not as strong as before.
He suddenly regretted it a little. Last time when Ximen Lanqing came to recruit Nie Family, he did not understand much and thought that she could return to Holy Land.
If only he knew that the Ximen family was already this weak, he would have put on a front and extorted some benefits from the Ximen family's body.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. Regret was useless. Since he had already boarded a pirate ship, it wouldn't be that simple for him to disembark.
Facing Ximen Lanqing's smile, which seemed to be warm, but was actually hiding killing intent, Nie Yinghua could only express her unsincerely: "I can understand, too understand. We, this subject, originally wanted this master to consider everything, if the master needs it, this subject will naturally do my best to cooperate, so what if it's just a small grievance?"
Little grievance?
Hehe, a Ten-thousand Year Clan coming straight to the door, killing someone and beating them up, and taking away the resources that they have accumulated for three thousand years, this is a small grievance, then what is a great grievance, extermination?
Nie Yinghua's words were not from the bottom of her heart, and Ximen Lanqing would never truly believe that Nie Yinghua was a straightforward family servant who wholeheartedly protected her master. With Qin family's rebellion, if Ximen family could easily believe that Nie Family was still as loyal as he was ten thousand years ago, then Ximen Lanqing's intelligence would almost reach zero.
However, none of this mattered.
The most important thing was that the Ximen family needed the Nie Family's return, and the Nie Family needed to use the Ximen family as a springboard to return to the Holy Land. They would benefit each other, and with this relationship, there would be no problem at all for a short period of time.
Ximen Lanqing now wanted to clear up one thing. Both the Qin family and the Nie Family that had escaped from the Holy Land during those few years, had completely different attitudes when it came to returning to the Holy Land.
Could it be that after ten thousand years, the Qin family no longer had any ambitions, and was willing to lie in seclusion in this small Celestial Desolate Domain, waiting for the years to pass, until the Eternity Continent perished along with it?
"Good, very good, Brother Yinghua, I really feel very gratified. I believe that after a period of time, when Nie Family returns to the Holy Land, the Ximen family will also welcome you as a family, as always. "
Ximen Lanqing couldn't figure out what was going on with Qin family, so she could only continue to pacify Nie Yinghua. Qin family had betrayed him, and Nie Family had even more so, needed to be pacified.
"Forget about everything else, just Nie Family will remember this time. Ximen family will compensate you for the losses you suffered. Once Nie Family moves to the Holy Land, Brother Ying Hua, give me a list and I will immediately have someone to make it up to me according to the list. "
Hearing that, Nie Yinghua's eyes lit up. He never thought that Ximen Lanqing would actually make such a promise. It didn't matter that some people had died in Nie Family, as there were still clansmen there. At most, they could just let their clansmen live again, it was just a small matter.
The most important thing was the resources. In this era where resources were scarce, Ximen family was willing to double the losses to make up for it.
It was a pity that Nie Yinghua, who was always in joy, did not notice the ridicule from the corner of her mouth.
Breach of promise? No, no, no, Ximen Lanqing really did not intend to go back on her words. Now that the Ximen family clan was in danger, and needed great courage to grow, if they went back on their word for such a small amount of resources, it would simply be like slapping themselves in the face. Who would be able to rely on the Ximen family clan?
He mocked Nie Yinghua because she was stupid.
Right now, the Holy Land was not having a good time either. There were wars everywhere, and small families were being exterminated just for resources. For clans like the Nie Family, where only five or six Martial Saint s were in command, it was extremely normal for dozens or twenty of them to die in the Holy Land in one day.
With resources and no experts, not only would he not be able to grow, but he would also be destroyed faster.
At that time, it would be impossible for Nie Family to leave Holy Land, so she could only hug Ximen family's leg even tighter.
In comparison, Ximen Lanqing suddenly realised that Qin family was much smarter. To think that she did not want to return to the Holy Land at all, he really suspected that the Qin family had already found out about the situation there, which was why she did not want to return.
But the more it was like this, the more Ximen Lanqing felt that she had to recall the Qin family. From the looks of it, the Qin family had more experts than the Nie Family, and they were also smarter. If she could really summon his back, not only would she maintain the dignity of the Ximen family, she could very likely truly become his assistant.
Imperceptibly, in the balance of Qin family and Nie Family, Ximen Lanqing had already tilted towards Qin family, and by a lot.
Whenever the Qin family was willing to let go of something like resources or not, Ximen Lanqing would definitely not be the slightest bit stingy within her reach. It was definitely much more than giving it to the Nie Family.
Thinking of this.
Ximen Lanqing was a little impatient, he felt that it was extremely necessary to personally go to the Cloud Sea Sect again. Regardless of whether or not she could recall the Qin family this time, he had to at least understand the reason why the Qin family did not return to the Holy Land.
Next.
Ximen Lanqing amiably chatted with Nie Yinghua for a while, mostly to appease him, to the point where she could be considered to be beaming with joy. Only then did she secretly heave a sigh of relief.
After that, Ximen Lanqing bade farewell to Nie Yinghua. As before, she brought the two Martial Saint s with him as she headed to the Cloud Sea Sect. Her attitude this time around was even more humble and gentle than last time she visited the sect. She actually used her dignified Martial Saint status to face off against the Martial Emperor that was guarding the Cloud Sea Sect, and said she wanted to meet Qin Xiantian.
Even the Qin family was a little confused, his position was really low enough, Ximen Lanqing felt that the kindness in his actions should be able to move the Qin family.
