When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 24 Alliance
"It's a pole, it's a pole!"

"That's the truth. We are all in the same boat, so we must have the right to know!"

Everyone on the deck echoed.

Hearing Zong Jun question the Xu family, Li Fan shouted in his heart.

He also wanted to know the inside story.It's best if someone speaks first.

Zong Jun's words were quite polite, but they made sense, and he was soft but hard at the same time. It was really hard for the Xu family not to answer.

In fact, Li Fan can also understand why Zong Jun came forward.

Firstly, Zongjun was powerful enough and popular, and secondly, he switched from the Xiang family to the Xu family. If Xiang Xiao captured the treasure ship, others might still have a chance to survive, but Zongjun would definitely die, and maybe very seriously. awful.

However, no matter what, Zong Jun is more courageous after all if he dares to come forward.

Xu Xinzhi frowned after hearing Zong Jun's question.

She didn't respond directly just now, and she didn't want to answer originally.

But Xu Xianhua didn't handle it well just now, and the situation got a little out of control.

The people represented by Zong Jun were right. The Xu family promised to protect their safety on this trip. Although the Xu family was not afraid of anyone present, these people gathered together represented a force and they could not be treated like domestic servants. Likewise, this time Lingchahai City will rely on these people to do things so that the business in Lingcha City can be better, and the Xu family can have more benefits and collect more taxes.

These people are not easy to offend when they get emotional, and many of the people in the crowd are clear-headed people, so they are not easy to fool.

Xu Xinzhi was also hesitating, and the goatee man next to him spoke.

Zong Jun just called this person Xu Yang.

Xu Yang looked at Xu Xinzhi and said: "Fifth Elder, we really need an explanation now, and the Xiang family has been attacked, so we might as well tell them the truth."

"Otherwise, there is no point in going to Lingcha Haishi if these people from all walks of life in the Xu family don't do anything."

Hearing this, Xu Xinzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

Her attitude softened a little and said: "Since Alchemist Zong also asked, I might as well say it."

"Yes, the Xiang family's attack on the treasure ship may be because someone within the family leaked the news, and the Xiang family knew the ship's route."

"We are also investigating this matter, but the details cannot be fully verified until after the sea market is over and we return to Scale City."

After hearing this, Zong Jun continued to ask: "I don't understand, is Lingchahai City so important?"

"Although the Xiang family and the Xu family are in conflict, they are not like yesterday. They seem to be trying to kill them all. Is there any hidden secret here?"

Xu Xinzhi frowned and glanced at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang nodded.

Xu Xinzhi took a long breath and said: "Since everything has been mentioned and the Xiang family has come after me, I will tell you the truth."

"The Xu family's treasure ship is heading to Lingchahai City this time. In addition to conducting trade and asking you to enrich the products of Lincheng's shops, it also has another purpose."

"Then we need to go to Lingchahai City and discuss an alliance with the Yu family!"

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the deck was in an uproar.

Li Fan was also a little surprised.

The Xu family actually does this?

More importantly, Xu Xinzhi actually said it?

Zong Jun and others may have been shocked by this inside secret, and their voices became much lower.

Xu Xinzhi continued: "My Xu family has been fighting with the Xiang family and the Yu family for a long time. The family's financial, material and human resources have been greatly depleted. The Xiang family is gradually becoming more and more powerful, which makes both the Xu family and the Yu family worried."

"Someone from the Yu family has given word that they want to join forces with my Xu family to fight against the Xiang family, but we didn't trust each other because of previous conflicts."

"It happened that Lingcha Haishi opened, and the Yu family wanted to come to Haishi to trade, so we agreed to meet and communicate in Haishi first."

After a pause, Xu Xinzhi looked at Zong Jun and others and said, "This matter has something to do with you and others."

"The Yu family, like the Xu family, is strapped for financial resources and wants to work with us on trade. They have also brought people from various industries within the family. If they want to communicate about trade between the two families, they will have to ask Zong Danshi. Wait for someone to communicate the details of the trade.”

Xu Xinzhi looked at Zong Jun deeply and said, "I didn't intend to hide these things. I just planned to talk to you again when I get to Lingcha Island. However, Xiang Xiao attacked yesterday. I think it was because of Xu. The news about the alliance between the two families was leaked, and the Xiang family was anxious to destroy it."

"Since you want an answer, I might as well tell you to wait now."

After hearing this, everyone on the deck became much calmer, as if they were digesting the news.

Li Fan also thought about Xu Xinzhi's words in his heart. "That makes sense. The Xiang family is powerful, and it is reasonable for Xu to form an alliance with the two families." Li Fan thought.

The current structure of these three monk families is that the Xiang family is the largest and most powerful. The Xu family and the Yu family, the second and third eldest, cannot beat them. It makes perfect sense to join forces to deal with the Xiang family.

However, Li Fan vaguely felt that Xu Xinzhi was hiding some things.

For example, the woman in white above Le Fan's cabin...

Seeing that everyone had calmed down again, Xu Yang said from the side: "I know you have concerns about safety, but there is no need to worry too much."

"The fifth elder and I have used magic weapons to send a message to the Xu family. The message will reach Dragon Scale Island in a few days. Naturally, there will be experts from the Xu family on the way back to deal with the threat from the Xiang family."

"As for the trading period in Lingchahai City, this place belongs to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and there are many experts. Even if the Xiang family comes here, they don't dare to do anything here, and they can still protect everyone's safety."

"Don't worry, everyone, just make the deal with confidence and complete the tasks assigned to you by the Xu family. I will take care of the rest."

After listening to Xu Yang's words, everyone on the deck was comforted and their emotions gradually calmed down.

Zong Jun cupped his hands and said, "I was impulsive just now. Fifth Elder, don't blame me. After all, I was a little nervous when I saw Xiang Xiao and others."

"If I did anything wrong, I must apologize to the fifth elder, Mr. Xu Yang."

"Human nature is understandable." Xu Yang said soothingly.

Now that the matter is like this, it can be considered a solution.

The people on the deck dispersed, some went back to the cabin, and some were taking a breather on the deck.

Li Fan also watched a play and learned the inside story.

After the people dispersed, Xu Xinzhi glanced at Xu Xianhua beside him.

"Xianhua, you still need some experience." Xu Xinzhi shook his head slightly.

After she finished speaking, she returned to the cabin.

After hearing this, Xu Xianhua's face flushed, with an expression of reluctance and humiliation.

Seeing this, Xu Yang wanted to say something but didn't. He sighed softly and left.

Xu Xianhua was on the deck, his face red.

At this time, Xu Jie, who had no idea where he was just now, suddenly came over and quickly came to Xu Xianhua.

"Brother, don't take it to heart. It's these ungrateful people who are doing business and selling crafts in Scale City..."

Xu Jie was speaking words of relief.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang.

Xu Xianhua slapped Xu Jie on the face.

"Who do you think you are, that you can laugh at my jokes?"

"Who am I, Xu Xianhua, that I need you to comfort me?"

Xu Xianhua was obviously angry with Xu Jie and slapped Xu Jie on the face.

Xu Jie flattered the horse's leg and was stunned. He covered his face, his face was red, he was dumbfounded and at a loss.

After Xu Xianhua vented his anger, he felt better. He snorted coldly and walked into the cabin regardless of Xu Jie.

After Xu Xianhua left, Xu Jie's face was flushed, ashamed and angry.

He looked towards the direction Xu Xianhua left with a look of deep resentment.

Li Fan watched indifferently not far away.

"This Xu Xianhua will definitely suffer a lot from this character in the future."

Li Fan also does not wade into muddy waters.

Feeling relaxed after getting the answer he wanted, he returned to the cabin and continued practicing Qigong.

...

Four days later.

The Xu family's seven-masted treasure ship has arrived at Lingsha Island.
