"The Mittel family?"
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
To be honest, the Mittel family is really good.
But that's just good for a small place.
Using the power of business to grasp the pulse of the empire and then create a family that is as wealthy as the country. This kind of forward thinking is indeed eye-catching. However, the main reason why the Mittel family has been able to develop to this point is Relying on the power of the strong and the strong themselves bring deterrence.
This strong man is Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!
Ice Emperor Haibodong is not a member of the Miter family.
However, he was friends with the founder of the Mittel family.
The founder of the Mittel family was also a smart man.
Rather than give up most of the profits and power to keep Ice Emperor Haibodong, he did not hesitate at all, or was reluctant to part with these profits and power and chose to go it alone.
From today's perspective, the founder of the Mittel family had a very long-term vision. He clearly saw his own shortcomings and understood the nature of the world.
certainly.
The essence of respecting the strong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this world.
But this is just basic common sense.
There are often many magical realities.
When the profit reaches 100%, some people will dare to take risks. When the profit reaches 300%, even if they know that there is a dead end ahead, some people will take a chance and take a chance.
If you want to distribute the profits to an outsider who has done nothing, or even give away some of your power, this is a very difficult psychological test for anyone.
So, the founders of the Mittel family back then were really good.
but!
The Mittel family is not doing so well today!
This is not to say that the patriarch of the Mittel family has any problems in decision-making, but that at this juncture when Ice Emperor Haibodong has been missing for many years, the Gama royal family has begun to suppress silently, plus Mittel There are too many disputes within the family, and the various elders and clan leaders are fighting for their own interests. If the Miter family is allowed to make this deal with him, there is a high probability that the chips offered by the Miter family will not be elegant. The bargaining chip given by the concubine is high!
not to mention……
Yafei is the most valuable bargaining chip here!
Although Yafei's talent is not strong, even if she ate a lot of pills refined by Xiao Yan in the finale, her final level is still limited to Douhuang. However, in the later stage, she can spread the Yanmeng's industry throughout the northwest continent with one hand. Yafei, who helped Xiao Yan set up the intelligence system, relied on this talent to make up for the shortcomings in strength, and even surpassed it after making up for the shortcomings!
In the Miter family, no one except Yafei has this talent.
This is like the difference between Huo Qubing and Li Guang.
When it comes to fighting, Li Guang is pretty fair.
In any case, there is no problem in fighting a defensive battle.
That is the current level of the Mittel family.
However, if you want to expand your territory, using Yafei who has taken Huo Qubing's template is the right choice. After all, only Yafei has the ability to control the overall situation, especially in terms of logistics.
Lu Yuan didn't particularly need Ya Fei to control the logistics.
After all, he doesn't need logistics at the moment.
Logistics is just a drag on him.
Moreover, even if there is a need for logistics, the first one to bear the brunt is naturally the Yunlan Sect.
However, now the act of killing the Soul Palace envoy, including the act of forming an alliance with Xiao Xun'er, has completely pushed him to the forefront. Although the venue for the ancient clan and the soul clan's battle is not in the Yunlan Sect, the aftermath of the battle will still be It affected Yunlan Sect to some extent.
If the master of the Soul Palace is still clear-headed, he will definitely send Yunshan to capture him. Although he is nominally "invited" to return to the Yunlan Sect, no matter whether he is willing to return to the Yunlan Sect or not, the result is doomed. ——The Soul Palace can get a reasonable excuse to target him!
If he doesn't want to go back, Yunshan will definitely take action.
If Yunshan wins, it will be called "capturing the scum of the sect and returning them to the sect for trial."
If Yunshan loses, it will be called "death by sneak attack by the scum of the sect".
Avoiding it is not a good option either.
Avoiding it will only lead to "fleeing in fear of crime".
Even if there are still people in Yunlan Sect who believe in him...
The founder of Yunshan has spoken, who has any opinions?
Yun Yun?
After Yunshan ordered, Yun Yun immediately ceased to be the leader of the Yun Lan Sect. The current elders of the Yun Lan Sect were all Yun Shan's old subordinates. How could Yun Yun, who was neither reasonable nor powerful, fight against Yun Shan?
If you can't fight, how can you speak for him?
Therefore, in the next long period of time, he will be equivalent to losing any logistical support. In this case, supporting Ya Fei can only be said to be an inevitable choice.
certainly.
He can also train a team of his own.
Just like cultivating Longying Bookstore.
It is more secure to use it if you are on your own.
However, it takes too much time, energy and resources to cultivate a team, especially in this world where the Nine-Star Fighting Saints don’t have any airs. They will definitely take action when it’s time to take action, not like the Third Young Master. Sitting aside and eating melon in silence naturally brings a lot of pressure.
Moreover, the rules in Doupo are also very complete.
He does have the power of space.
However, in this world where Douzong can initially master the power of space, his understanding of the power of space can only guarantee that he can fight across levels to a certain extent, but it does not guarantee that he can kill indiscriminately in this world!
You can use the power of time.
In other words, you can use the power of fate.
But both of these powers are the kind that the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the combat power. With his current cultivation level of Three-Star Fighting Emperor, it is a bit difficult to kill a Dou Zong. If he wants to survive under the hands of Nine-Star Fighting Saint, it is still difficult. think too much……
Based on the above.
He is really powerless.
And, it's not worth it.
Miscellaneous but not refined is a taboo on the path to cultivation!
Even if he trains a group of team members and manages to form an incomplete version of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, unless these 10,000 people who join the formation are all Dou Zun, otherwise, if he wants to tie with a Nine-Star Dou Sage, he can only say that It's an unrealistic fantasy.
Gather ten thousand fighting masters...
Um……
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
No one in their right mind would play this trick.
After all, the world is different from world to world.
What is possible in the world of Zhuxian may not necessarily work in the world of Doupo. It is true that the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is based on the formation of more and less, but it also depends on the basic strength gap between the two sides.
Therefore, Yafei can only be regarded as a late mover.
Only if he really needs logistics can he use it.
On the basis that it is not needed, it is better for Yafei to develop silently.
so……
"There is no need for us to test like this."
Lu Yuan finished his wontons quietly.
He picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Then, he looked directly at Ya Fei: "I want you..."
"impossible!"
Yafei is like a cat with exploded fur.
Subconsciously he leaned back a few centimeters.
Words of rejection came out of his mouth.
Not even a moment's hesitation.
After that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Soon, he realized that he could no longer move.
"what are you planning to do?"
Yafei stared at the young man in front of her warily.
He tentatively moved his body again, but found that his body was still as unable to move as he had just sensed. He couldn't help but panic in his heart: "With your identity and strength, there is no need to use such despicable means. Can you get me?"
"certainly."
"However, please don't misunderstand me."
"It's just that I haven't finished what I said just now."
"After listening, it's not too late for you to leave."
Lu Yuan calmly raised his hand to signal.
Yafei's body couldn't help but sway.
However, Yafei breathed a sigh of relief. First she raised her hand to look, and then tentatively touched her face. Finally, she gradually calmed down and looked quietly at Lu Yuan, who was sitting opposite her.
This time, Lu Yuan said everything.
But Yafei couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"I want you... to become the patriarch of the Mittel family!"
Lu Yuan said softly.
Yafei's brain suddenly buzzed.
Become the patriarch of the Mittel family?
What the hell is this requirement?
What does it have to do with you whether I become the patriarch or not?
Moreover……
Weren't you trying to find out the whereabouts of the "Ice Emperor" just now?
How on earth did you regard the request of "let me become the patriarch of the Mittel family" as a bargaining chip in the matter of "finding the Ice King"?
According to normal logic, these two should be the ultimate goals!
You need to pay the price to achieve your goal!
Use one of the goals as a bargaining chip to pay...
To be honest, Yafei really didn't understand Lu Yuan's thinking.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan also knew that his thinking was too out of the ordinary. After observing Yafei's puzzled eyes, he sighed and explained to Yafei again:
"I made you the patriarch of the Mittel family because I believe you have this ability, and I also believe in your skills and vision."
“You know who to invest in and who not to invest in.”
"For me, that's enough."
"Because you won't be like many investors who will give up immediately when they see the momentum is not right, or even betray. Even if these betrayals happen, it will have no impact on me, but I don't want to be treated as a fool with good intentions. It happened to me."
"There are so many things involved."
"Since you haven't made a decision yet, I can only use this vague statement to express what I mean. Whether you can understand it or not, in short, I still admire you as a person."
"If you agree, I will bring Ice Emperor Haibodong back to you. You only need to use Ice Emperor Haibodong's power to suppress the opinions of everyone in the Miter family. At that time, Will you continue to stand behind me, I won’t force you.”
"I will only show my ability."
"Whether you dare to follow or not is up to you."
Lu Yuan was talking about clouds and mist.
The kind that most people can’t understand.
But Ya Fei seemed to understand.
Even if I only understand part of it.
There was inevitable hesitation for a few seconds.
Then, he straightened his posture.
He asked seriously: "So, will you fall into the abyss in the next period of time, and always believe that you can eventually climb out of the abyss and stand on the top of your mind?"
"meeting."
Lu Yuanyi replied briefly and concisely.
No further questions were asked.
He didn't bother to explain anything to Ya Fei.
Just sit calmly on the chair.
Calmly waiting for Yafei to make a decision.
After a while.
Ya Fei slowly exhaled.
Looking up again, the look in Lu Yuan's eyes was less wary, more curious, and a little more complicated than words can say:
"You just believe me?"
"You know, I am also an auctioneer, and I am no different from many businessmen."
"It's just common for me to forget one's good deeds for profit."
"Furthermore, since you can bring up the matter of the Ice King, you are also very clear about the current situation of the Mittel family. How can there be a complete egg after the nest is overthrown? I know it very well, and you also know that I know it very well. I don't want to ask for an exorbitant price." Forget it, you even want me to become the patriarch of the Miter family, why?"
As she spoke, Ya Fei flipped her hair on her temples.
He looked down at his proud body.
Then, he calmly looked away: "I don't think you will get what you want, and I don't think that you are attracted to me. I just want to say that I still can't understand why you chose me. , if you allow me, can you give me an answer?"
"The answer is..."
Lu Yuan touched his chin.
After thinking for a while, he joked in a relaxed tone:
"What if I said..."
"I have seen your future, and the skills and abilities you will show in the future, so I think you are a good person. By chance, I didn't go to you to discuss this matter again..."
"Well, would you believe it?"
Ya Fei looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment.
The red lips twitched slightly.
He seemed to want to say something.
But in the end I still didn’t say what I wanted to say.
He could only sigh helplessly.
Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Well, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. However, since you said so vaguely before, if you really understand my character, you will probably be able to understand the question I am going to ask next. After all, even if you want to invest in me, I can refuse, and there must always be a willingness between you and me in everything, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Yuan nodded: "But I don't think you have the ability to refuse me, and I don't think you can refuse me under these conditions. However, you can still ask, and I don't deny this."
Ya Fei did not pick up the topic.
Everyone knows whether they have the ability to refuse.
Even if she retorted, it would only be a ridiculous rebuttal, which could do nothing except temporarily save face.
not to mention……
With the strength shown by the other party...
Especially the ability to immobilize her without making a move...
How similar is the method of the Douzong who was above Wutan City before?
That's what Douzong is like.
Controlled a fighting emperor with one move.
But that Dou Zong was already dead.
Therefore, the young man sitting in front of her must be the mysterious man who killed Douzong before. If the other party really wanted to crush her to death, it would be no different from crushing an ant to death, even without the following one Half a word, she couldn't resist even if she wanted to. If she stabbed him with a knife, she might not be able to break her defense.
In other words, whether it was just now or now, she has no right to refuse. She can indeed reserve her own opinions, but the other party has the right to humanely destroy her.
Therefore, there is really no need to show off this little bit of rhetoric.
"I want to know, who are you?"
"Can you tell me something that is within my understanding?"
Yafei asked seriously.
She is very smart.
Don’t forget to set boundaries when asking.
This can prevent Lu Yuan from revealing an identity that he doesn't know is true or false.
However, Lu Yuan had no intention of lying to Ya Fei.
The same pair of eyes that looked directly into Ya Fei replied calmly: "I am Lu Yuan, the first disciple of Yun Yun, the leader of the Yun Lan Sect."
Yafei's expression suddenly froze.
Looked at Lu Yuan carefully.
Then he turned around and looked around and at the bustling crowd outside the food stall.
Finally, he raised his hand and pinched his face hard.
With a face full of doubts about life: "So, why doesn't Yunlan Sect take action against the Jiama Empire? Why can it still maintain this kind of situation with the Jiama Empire where the river does not interfere with the well?"
"There are many reasons."
Lu Yuan knew very well what Ya Fei meant.
He smiled and spread his hands:
"The first reason is that both days have the same sky."
"My ancestor and my teacher are both still alive."
"The patriarch and the teacher have different personalities. Although the ancestor is very satisfied with the teacher as his disciple, people's concepts will always change. Under mutual checks and balances, the Yunlan Sect seems to be united but is actually a ball of sand."
"The second reason is that the teacher is not skilled enough."
"Teacher's cultivation is good."
"But, compared to you, my wrist is weak."
"Several elders of Yunlan Sect are all members of the ancestor. If the teacher has the ability to control them, forget it. If you don't have the ability, you can't bear it. The only result is that they will be controlled in turn."
"However, fortunately we have the support of our ancestors."
"These old guys don't dare to be too presumptuous."
"but……"
"The premise is that the ancestor helps the teacher..."
"It's not that the patriarch and the teacher have a disagreement..."
"The third reason is that I don't want to contribute."
"Maybe you've heard of me before."
"Of course, I guess it doesn't have a good reputation."
"In short, I really can't take action for some reasons, and a small Jia Ma Empire is not worth the price I have to pay to take action. The short-term forbearance is for the sake of complete victory one day. At this point, I think you are better than I know better."
"There are some other reasons."
"However, these reasons are not important, so I will not go into details one by one."
After Lu Yuan calmly laid out almost all the reasons, he looked at Yafei's eyes that were gradually becoming more enlightened and smiled slightly: "Do you have any other questions?"
"It's probably gone."
Yafei thought for a while and sighed.
He patted his chest nonchalantly and made a comfortable gesture. Then, he looked at Lu Yuan, who was sitting opposite him and politely looked away, and felt funny.
The body actively leans forward.
Like a lazy ragdoll cat.
With a bit of joking, he teased softly: "Aren't you shy?"
"shy?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
She slapped away Ya Fei's hand that wanted to touch his chin a little presumptuously.
Then, he asked calmly: "Who gave you the illusion that I am a man without a partner?"
"Have it?"
"Really?"
Ya Fei narrowed her eyes with a smile.
It seems like I found something interesting.
He added calmly: "I remember that in the past few days, you Yunlan Sect disciples, oh, by the way, your junior sister Nalan Yanran, just because the Yunlan Sect heir cannot marry prematurely, I came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement. Although the Xiao family finally announced that the engagement was peacefully broken off, as the heir to the Yunlan Sect, you shouldn't be a man anyway, right?"
"Are you questioning me?"
Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.
But it didn't show on the face.
He took back his "polite" look and looked around.
Later, it turned into an "unbridled" gaze.
Shen Sheng threatened: "Although I don't want to owe a love debt too early, I have already owed a lot of this kind of love debt so far. I don't mind owing another love debt. It’s just that I’m a very domineering person, so if you want to use this method to treat yourself as a guest, then I don’t mind turning you from a guest to one of my own!”
Look into Lu Yuan's deep black eyes.
Look at Lu Yuan's eyes that don't seem to be fake.
Listen to Lu Yuan's meaningful answer.
Yafei couldn't help but panic in her heart.
After a slight hesitation, he finally stopped teasing him. He just pursed his lips helplessly and complained insincerely: "Boring kid!"
"He's a boring man."
Lu Yuan corrected.
Although he looks only fifteen years old...
Of course, the bone age is only fifteen years old...
However, his soul is that of an old man who is over fifty years old!
Although he has barely escaped life and death, at least he will hardly age physically, but his soul will also be "slightly tired", but it is precisely for this reason that he dare not continue to be tired, because the tired The feeling will only get heavier and heavier. Only by using a youthful feeling can this effect be diluted, and then look for techniques or magic weapons that can extend the life of the soul.
For example: Eye of Destiny.
This is a magical spell that can temporarily sit in his soul. As long as the Eye of Destiny still exists, he will not be affected by any negative effects, such as confusion, slowness, indiscriminateness between friend and foe, and so on.
However, the Eye of Destiny is not invincible.
There is no absolutely invincible magical power.
There is no absolutely invincible person or thing.
Invincibility is only relative invincibility.
Therefore, since he has this ability, he can only find the true invincibility in the endless relative invincibility, and in this process, the wealth and land of the Dharma couple are just something that will naturally exist, even if it is immortality, It is also something that can be obtained in this process.
Therefore, as a young man, especially one who has eaten meat, the title of "kid" is still a bit too contemptuous of him. He must correct Ya Fei to show his innocence.
even though……
He has nothing to say about his innocence...
Yafei ignored Lu Yuan's sophistry.
Anyway, in her opinion, it was just quibbling.
She rolled her eyes coquettishly and complained helplessly:
"In that case, then Yafei is waiting for good news!"
"If we can find the Ice Emperor..."
"Ya Fei will naturally know how to choose!"
Lu Yuan nodded.
He snapped his fingers and the figure disappeared immediately.
Only Ya Fei was still sitting at this table.
Looking at the position where Lu Yuan disappeared, he was silent for a moment.
Finally, he slowly put away the envy in his eyes.
She didn't need to give any guarantees.
Because she believes that actual actions are more convincing than guarantees.
Lu Yuan didn't need to make any promises to her.
Because she knew very well that with Lu Yuan's strength, no matter whether she regretted or betrayed, Lu Yuan would not take this matter seriously.
It's more of a choice...
"A choice that will determine the rest of my life..."
Yafei whispered softly.
He stood up and saw the money left by Mu Zhan on the table.
He shook his head with a smile: "Now, I am even more suspicious that this is a choice because of my beauty. I don't know whether this is good or bad..."
