Generally, people who practice Buddhism strongly believe in cause and effect. They often say that all results today are determined by causes in the past. In other words, they believe that heaven is reincarnated and many things have a cycle of cause and effect. In fact, not only Buddhist believers believe in causality, but many ordinary people also believe in it.
Because the results of many things in life are really caused by what people did before. For example, you easily trust a person, and then after you have been dating for a few years, he defrauds you of your money. In this matter, your easy belief in this person is the cause, and being defrauded of your money is the result.
In fact, the same is true for the Liu family now. Zhang Xiaodao's strong statement before was the cause, and the Liu family will soon face the consequences of this matter. That is the revenge of the Zhao family. After all, Xiaodao is not just beating the face of one person in the Zhao family, but also challenging the authority of the entire Zhao family. Therefore, the Zhao family will definitely fight back, otherwise they will not be able to fight in the capital. Standing.
Xiaodao and Liu Yating just got off the car and walked to Xiaodao's villa. The two of them had a lot of gains today. In addition to buying 5 pieces of ancient jade in the first store, the two of them found more than a dozen pieces later. Ancient jade. This harvest makes Xiaodao very happy. With these ancient jade, Xiaodao can arrange more formations, or keep some ancient jade for backup.
Of course, Liu Yating paid for these ancient jades, so Xiaodao just asked Liu Yating, which one of these ancient jades did she like best? Xiaodao wanted to refine a jade tablet for Liu Yating that could be used as a defensive talisman. Having the talisman jade tablet would be equivalent to having a one-time defensive formation for Liu Yating. Although it was only a one-time defensive weapon, it would be useful at critical moments. But it can save Liu Yating's life.
From this perspective, this one-time defensive weapon is still quite useful, although its production cost is a bit high. Apart from other things, it is quite difficult to find a spiritual ancient jade. If it weren't for the Taoist teachings, ordinary people might never encounter a spiritual ancient jade in their lifetime.
Having the ancient jade is only the first step. There is also a practitioner who understands the formation, that is, the formation master. Such people are very rare even in the cultivation world, because the practitioners who practice the formation are themselves Very rare. So we know how precious such a one-time defensive formation jade token is. That is why Xiaodao would give it away so casually. If this thing is sold, it will definitely be a sky-high price.
Xiaodao even asked Liu Yating what style she liked, and also told Liu Yating about the functions of this jade medal, which made Liu Yating feel a little flattered. She is from a big family, so she naturally knows how valuable this thing is and how important it is.
It's just that Xiaodao didn't give the other party a chance to refuse. Sister Yating was the most fundamental reason for him to be in the Liu family. Almost everything he did was for her. How could he be stingy with a defensive jade token! And Liu Yating saw that she had no chance to refuse, and even the mere mention of the topic would not give her a chance to continue the conversation, so she was smart and had to give up the idea of refusal.
After all, Xiaodao was sincere to her and wanted to ensure her personal safety, so Liu Yating was not polite. Besides, she also spent a lot today. Thinking about it this way, the feeling of guilt in her heart is not so strong. Besides, it was someone she cared about who wanted to give it to her, and the sweet feeling is slowly growing!
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Xiaodao's house, they saw a Liu's waiter waiting for them to order. Judging from the look on the waiter's face, he must have been waiting for a while.
"Is the head of the family looking for us?" Liu Yating asked first. After all, this is the territory of their Liu family. Sometimes it is not convenient for Xiaodao to ask directly. Liu Yating, who is smart, will naturally not make Xiaodao feel uncomfortable, so Liu Yating asked first He asked.
"Yes, Miss Liu, the head of the family asked me to wait here for you to come back, and then take you to the conference room. There is something urgent!"
This woman is the service staff in charge of the Liu family's kitchen. Xiaodao will see her these few times when he eats at the Liu family's house. It seems that she is responsible for preparing the Liu family's meals. Xiaodao had a very good impression of her. This woman always had a sincere smile on her face, which made people feel very comfortable, so Xiaodao had a very deep memory of her.
"Okay, let's go over now!" Liu Yating heard the other party's words and agreed directly without hesitation. She understood that Liu Guojun must have something to discuss with them at this time, and it was something relatively important.
After the woman heard Liu Yating's words, she immediately led the way, leading the two of them in the same direction.
Xiaodao nodded and said hello to this woman. He was still a little grateful to this woman. He had eaten many meals cooked by her. Xiaodao and Liu Yating just followed the woman one after another and walked towards where Liu Guojun was.
To say that the Liu family is really big, even a meeting has to be moved to another place. Xiaodao remembers that the last meeting was not in this place! No wonder the Liu family wants to buy all the houses in this villa area. Only in this way can they be used by the Liu family!
After walking for probably a few minutes, they came to the door of a conference room. However, at this time, the Liu family was already heavily guarded. Even the door of the conference room was guarded by security guards. As if he was worried that the information would be leaked, Xiaodao could understand Liu Guojun's arrangement. No one dared to take it lightly at this time.
Who knows who is the undercover agent sent by the Zhao family? If the Liu family's information is leaked directly, then the Liu family will have even less chance of winning this battle. Therefore, it is understandable to be careful, but Xiaodao has a better understanding of Liu Guojun's caution.
Liu Yating opened the door first and walked in directly. When Xiaodao saw that sister Yating was so straightforward, he also walked in quickly. The security personnel at the door closed the door when they saw the two people walking in. As soon as Xiaodao entered the conference room, he felt a depressing atmosphere, and the focus of everyone present seemed to be on him.
Xiaodao suppressed his curiosity and did not ask immediately. Instead, he sat down with Liu Yating. Now everyone should know about his relationship with Liu Yating! Xiaodao no longer concealed anything or tried to avoid suspicion, but sat openly next to Liu Yating.
In this way, he can see Liu Yating's beautiful face at any time, and when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he can directly ask Liu Yating for advice. As a young man who has just entered the society, it is very normal for him to have some things that he does not understand. The key is that he needs someone to help him solve his doubts. Isn’t Liu Yating a good teacher, and she is also a beautiful and sexy teacher. Thinking of this Xiaodao was even more happy inside.
After Liu Yating sat down, she and Xiaodao looked at everyone present because she wanted to know who was coming to the meeting. She actually saw Mr. Liu and her uncles, but they were all far behind. It seemed that they were here today. They are all here to listen. She also quickly discovered a problem. Everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on Zhang Xiaodao, so Liu Yating seemed to have a guess in her heart!
"Yating, you have come back just in time. The purpose of our temporary meeting is about Mr. Zhang. We have received news that the Zhao family is no longer preparing to go to war directly with our Liu family, but is preparing to attack Mr. Zhang directly. They The goal is very obvious, which is to get rid of Mr. Zhang to achieve the purpose of attacking our Liu family."
When Liu Guojun saw that the two people had already sat down, he didn't say anything nonsense, but directly started to get into the topic. He had already told the Liu family about the specific situation before. So there was no need to do any foreshadowing. After finishing speaking, Liu Guojun secretly observed Zhang Xiaodao's reaction. He wanted to know what Zhang Xiaodao's reaction or expression would be when he heard the news.
Because when a person hears bad news about himself, his first reaction is the most true thought in his heart. Otherwise, the reaction expressed after thinking will be deceptive to a certain extent. Liu Guojun wanted to know if Zhang Xiaodao was afraid of the opponent's actions. This could explain the problem from one side.
What made Liu Guojun a little disappointed was that Zhang Xiaodao had no reaction at all after hearing the news. It could even be said that there was no fluctuation at all. He always had a natural smile on his face, as if what he said was related to He has nothing to do with it.
Is this Mr. Zhang really not worried at all, or does he not care about his opponent Zhao family at all? Otherwise, how could he be so calm? Liu Guojun has also gone through a lot of negotiations and is also a very experienced family manager. How could he not understand people!
It's just that today he really can't understand the young man in front of him. He was already observing the other person's first reaction just now, but he didn't see anything. Liu Guojun turned his head and glanced at Mr. Liu again, and found that the other man also looked puzzled. It seemed that the old man had not seen through the other man's psychological activities.
In fact, the purpose of the meeting of the Liu family this time was to discuss how to help Zhang Xiaodao deal with this crisis. With the strength of the Zhao family, it is very normal to hire a world-class killer. Not to mention those masters of cultivation. As long as they go down to help the Zhao family, Mr. Zhang will be in danger.
It is the intention of everyone present to test Mr. Zhang's reaction here. If you ask Mr. Zhang about his strength, you will definitely not be able to get any specific data. We can only deduce whether Mr. Zhang is really confident in defeating the enemy by seeing whether the other party is afraid of the other party.
You must know that Mr. Zhang is fighting for the Liu family now, but the Liu family cannot help in this regard and can only provide some useful information. Liu Guojun can't send bodyguards to protect Mr. Zhang, mainly because the effect of doing so is not particularly great.
Because ordinary security personnel are vulnerable in front of cultivators, and the Liu family has no foundation in the cultivation world, so they cannot help Mr. Zhang block the cultivators' attacks.
"Don't worry, Master Liu, and Mr. Liu, don't worry about my safety. Since I dare to slap the Zhao family in the face in public, I'm naturally not afraid that they will ask someone to come and help! If there is really some expert taking action If so, I would just compete with them to see who is more powerful, haha!"
Xiaodao was quiet in the entire conference room for dozens of seconds before talking to everyone with a smile. While looking at everyone with a smile, he was comforting the Liu family. There was always a relaxed smile on his face, without any worry or fear at all. To be honest, he really didn't take the Zhao family seriously.
You must know that Xiaodao's purpose of doing this is to lure the masters of the Zhao family to take action. Naturally, that Zhou Tianshi will not take action again, otherwise he will not be a smart master. As for the other masters of the Zhao family, Xiaodao hopes that their strength can be higher, and they can quickly improve their strength by fighting with masters.
"Seeing your confident smile, Mr. Zhang, I'm really relieved. Otherwise, with my body and frame, I really wouldn't come here for a meeting!" Mr. Liu also said with a smile, and there was only a smile on his face at this time. He smiled happily, as if he was really happy at this time.
But in his short words, Xiaodao could clearly hear the other party's concern for him. Although part of it was for the benefit of the Liu family, Xiaodao could still feel that the other party still cared for him somewhat sincerely.
"Yes, we are actually here to study with you, Mr. Zhang, to see if we can find a better way to resolve this trouble. Mr. Zhang, you are alone and have no helpers. We The Liu family currently does not have the support of the cultivation sect, so it cannot help you!"
Liu Guojun also felt a little helpless. He looked at Zhang Xiaodao with an apologetic face. This time he truly felt sorry for Zhang Xiaodao. Zhang Xiaodao formed a conflict with the Zhao family for the Liu family, but when he needed help, the Liu family could not find any help. As the head of the Liu family, he naturally felt very sorry for Zhang Xiaodao.
"Although you can't help me find any helpers, you can help me collect some information. Knowing some information about my opponents in advance is also a big help to me. With your information and my own strength , what do those helpers have to be afraid of!"
Xiaodao glanced at the Liu family present, and everyone's expressions fell in his eyes before he spoke. This is also Xiaodao's sincere words. It is also good to know some enemy information in advance. At least he can make some preparations in advance. In this way, we will not be too careless, and it can also make the morale of the Liu family less low. Now the Liu family feels a little guilty and powerless because they can't help. Xiaodao will naturally not let these bad emotions go. Continue to ferment.
Although he is not a family manager, he still understands some truths. If the Liu family has already begun to lose morale at this time, how will they fight in the subsequent battles and how can they defeat the Zhao family's challenge? Therefore, Xiaodao still needs to adjust everyone's status in time. After all, Liu Guojun can do very little at this time. Only if he personally gives everyone confidence is the most effective.
