Chapter 515: Chapter 245 Actions of Bai Hua Pavilion_2
“Of course, the reason Qingshi City Luo Family agreed to our requests primarily lies in their interest in our Wen Family’s artifact refining heritage,”
“In the future, our Wen Family will become one of the vassal families to the Qingshi City Luo Family.”
“For the Qingshi City Luo Family, we will produce a large number of fine spiritual artifacts.”
“We have traded our freedom for the hope of our family’s survival, and I’m not sure whether to call this a gain or a loss…”
At this point,
as the current Family Head of the Wen Family, Wen Yuan couldn’t help but fall into silence.
The Wen Family was able to gain the protection of the Qingshi City Luo Family.
The Qingshi City Luo Family was willing to shield the Wen Family from the pressure of the Bai Hua Pavilion and the Great Moon Dynasty that they controlled.
This was naturally a very good thing.
However, when he thought about how his Wen Family had paid for this with their entire clan’s freedom,
and even had to become a vassal family to the Qingshi City Luo Family,
it made Wen Yuan, as the current Family Head of the Wen Family, feel rather despondent for a moment.
It’s not that he wouldn’t become a vassal to others or to another family’s power for the sake of his family’s dignity, even if it meant death.
Rather, it was that they had suddenly become a vassal family to the Qingshi City Luo Family.
In the future, they would have to rely on the Qingshi City Luo Family for survival.
This made Wen Yuan, who possessed the complete lineage of artifact refining, struggle to accept this reality for a moment.
“Father,”
“The current situation is already the best possible outcome.”
“Only by living do we have hope.”
“If we die, then we truly lose everything…”
Inside the tavern,
the young man whispered such words of comfort.
Wen Yuan sighed softly, looking somberly into the distance, “Bai Hua Pavilion, Great Moon Dynasty…
“Who could have imagined that a small accident in the past would lead to such a disaster?”
“Fate is fickle…
“Perhaps, this is the destiny of my Wen Family?”
After murmuring softly,
Wen Yuan looked down from his elevated position, slowly scanning across the vast expanse of Qingshi City.
With slightly narrowed eyes, he watched the vast city of Qingshi with a calm demeanor.
Suddenly, the complexity and helplessness in his heart seemed to dissipate a great deal.
Qingshi City, Luo Family.
If the Qingshi City Luo Family were able to rise to power within the Da Feng Dynasty, defeating both the White Brahma Temple and the Royal Feng Family,
then his Wen Family becoming a vassal family to the Qingshi City Luo Family might not be such a bad thing after all.
The question was whether the Qingshi City Luo Family could defeat the other two forces and become the true overlord of these lands in the end.
Such matters were not decided by the head of a small family like him.
Of course, this so-called small family
was only in comparison to the Qingshi City Luo Family, White Brahma Temple, and the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, established for thousands of years.
If compared with some of the minor family forces in Qingshi City,
then the artifact refining Wen Family would still be considered a powerful and influential clan.
Even though refining artifacts was the Wen Family’s specialty,
given their current strength, they were not a force to be taken lightly by any family powers.
…
Before long, another week passed by.
During this week,
the situation within the Da Feng Dynasty remained extremely calm.
Whether it was the Qingshi City Luo Family, the White Brahma Temple recognized as one of the Three Great Demonic Forces of Buddhism, or the deeply rooted Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family,
all three forces spent this week quietly developing their own strength.
It seemed as if they were silently preparing for the final struggle that was to come.
As for the Wen Family?
During this week, with a complete artifact refining tradition and a mastery of the art, the Wen Family had already taken root in this region of Qingshi City.
In the week of building their clan’s foundations,
one could already vaguely make out the form taking shape.
However, for the Wen Family to fully complete their clan land,
“`
It would probably take at least a year and a half, which isn’t likely to be any shorter.
Therefore, during this time,
the Wen Family will still need to reside and live in the various inns within Qingshi City.
…
Not to mention the Artifact Refining Wen Family,
next, it’s time to talk about the Bai Hua Pavilion, as well as the so-called Great Moon Dynasty that is under its control.
A week ago, just after deciding to provide shelter to the Artifact Refining Wen Family,
and letting the Wen Family become a vassal family of their own,
Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch, was constantly paying attention to the Bai Hua Pavilion and the so-called Great Moon Dynasty.
It seemed like he was waiting for the inevitable conflict that could break out at any moment between the Bai Hua Pavilion and the Great Moon Dynasty.
However, as time passed,
and there was no action from either the Bai Hua Pavilion or the Great Moon Dynasty,
Luo Ping couldn’t help but become puzzled.
What the hell was going on?
Haven’t the Wen Family assuredly said that they had offended the Bai Hua Pavilion, and they would inevitably face retribution from the Bai Hua Pavilion?
Therefore, the Wen Family did not hesitate to become a vassal family of the Qingshi City Luo Family in order to receive their protection.
But now, what was this situation?
Had it not been for Luo Ping who then sent people to investigate the matters concerning the Bai Hua Pavilion, the Great Moon Dynasty, and the Wen Family,
he would have come to know that what the Wen Family had said wasn’t false.
Otherwise, he really would have to suspect whether those people from the Wen Family were simply pulling the wool over his eyes?
Just to cling to the powerful leg of the Qingshi City Luo Family?
…
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch stayed,
Luo Ping, the current Luo Family Patriarch, was sitting quietly in the main seat.
In his hand, he held some official affairs that had already been dealt with by others, silently reading.
Just as Luo Ping gradually immersed himself in handling these official affairs,
a mysterious cultivator dressed in black suddenly appeared in the room.
However, this time the person who came was not a Shadow Guard.
It was another newly-formed team.
This new team had no name.
All of its cultivators were those who had been eliminated from the reserve of Shadow Guards.
That is to say, those who failed to become Shadow Guards were shuffled into this newly formed team.
The original intention for forming this team was to serve exclusively for the current head of the Luo family, who was Luo Ping himself.
Of course, Ancestor of the Luo Family, Luo Changfeng, also had control over this new team.
If the commands of Luo Changfeng and Luo Ping ever conflicted,
then Luo Changfeng’s orders would prevail.
But, if one thinks about it carefully,
such a situation should never arise.
Luo Changfeng, as the elder sitting in Qingshi City Luo Family, as the most powerful person in the Luo Family Clan Land,
that youngster Luo Ping, doesn’t even have enough time to fear his own Patriarch Changfeng, so how could he possibly go against Patriarch Changfeng?
…
“What is it?”
Inside the room.
Luo Ping, sitting in the main seat, set down the official affairs he was holding.
He slightly straightened his body.
Then, he asked the person in front of him in a low voice.
“Family Head, news has come from the Bai Hua Pavilion, stating that they have taken action just now.”
“And apparently, their destination is our Qingshi City Luo Family land.”
The mysterious cultivator, wearing a unique black tight-fitting outfit slightly different from the Shadow Guards,
bowed his head slightly after speaking.
“Bai Hua Pavilion, eh?”
“They’ve finally made a move?”
“And the target is our Qingshi City Luo Family?”
Luo Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, murmuring to himself in a low voice.
