Before he reached the place, Li Qingfeng saw two Jinding Sect disciples standing at the door of the guest hall like guards from a distance. One of them was Chen Hao, and Li Qingdong's voice could be vaguely heard in the guest hall.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Ge, the head of my family will be here soon, please wait a moment..."
Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and strode towards the living room.
Chen Hao saw Li Qingfeng at the door, winked at him, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Li, fellow Taoist monks from Shangzong and Senior Brother Ge are all inside."
In the living room, Li Qingdong's voice stopped. Li Qingfeng nodded towards Chen Hao and walked into the living room.
Not counting himself, there were seven people in the hall, two of them were Wen Xiuxiang and Li Qingdong, four were from the Jinding Sect, and the last one was wearing a white sword robe, sitting at the top of the chair, looking slightly sideways at Li Qingfeng .
Li Qingfeng knew two of the four people in Jindingmen. One was Ge Mao, who was used to dealing with people; the other was Zhao Yuren. The last time he saw him was when he was recruited to deliver supplies last year. The other two were not. The spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies showed that they were all monks in the middle stage of Qi training.
While cupping his hands, Li Qingfeng showed a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Ge, Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are here unexpectedly. Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Then he turned his head to the monk in the white sword robe, cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what this fellow Daoist is." yes?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, you are finally here." Ge Mao nodded, stood up and introduced: "This is Fellow Daoist Wang of Xuantian Sword Sect; Fellow Daoist Wang, this is the head of the Li family, Fellow Daoist Li Qingfeng."
Li Qingfeng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Li Qingfeng, I have met fellow Taoist Wang."
"Fellow Daoist Li, right? I'm Wang Teng." Wang Teng raised his chin, glanced at Li Qingfeng, and then at the people at Jinding Sect: "I'm here to recruit monks to open up the secret realm of Lion's Mane Mountain. Specifically, You talk to them, I will just complete the task."
Why did you say it so directly? Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. After all, everyone knows the value contained in the word "secret realm". Last year, he covered it up, but now he doesn't even cover it up. Is it unnecessary? Or is it too urgent to take care of?
He turned his eyes to Zhao Yuren. At the same time, Li Qingdong had already made way for him, and he sat down below him.
"Well, that's it." Ge Mao, who was sitting next to Zhao Yuren, stroked his beard and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, your family will have people to open up the secret realm this time. The number of people assigned to your family is four. You can discuss it among yourselves. .”
"Four?" Li Qingfeng frowned: "Fellow Daoist Ge, didn't we just recruit them last year? Why do we need them again this year?"
Ge Mao waved his hand: "This year is different from last year. This is the third major development. In addition, your family will participate in the development this time. It will not be a job of transporting supplies like last year."
"Participate in the development?" Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Ge, you won't want my family to go to the front line to fight, right?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Ge, and there are only a few people in my family, and there were more people drawn last time. It's only been a year, why do we have to recruit them again?"
The speaker was Li Qingdong. He had been used to reception work in the past four years and was much more mature than before. At the same time, Wen Xiuxiang also echoed beside him, quite like a husband and a wife.
Before Ge Mao could say anything, a Jinding Sect monk next to him suddenly slapped the table: "How come you guys are talking so much? This is an order from the sect. If you are told to go, just go. Why are you asking so many questions?"
As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the whole room dropped. Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, causing the monk's final words to stop abruptly. After four years of training, he is now a monk at the eighth level and close to the ninth level of Qi training. To dare to speak like this in front of him in this small middle stage of Qi training is really desperate.
"What to do?" Zhao Yuren's voice sounded, and Li Qingfeng turned his eyes away. He was leaning forward and looking at Li Qingfeng with a gloomy face. An aura that only an eighth-level Qi-training monk could have emanated from him. He had also advanced to the eighth-level Qi-training.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Friend Daoist Ge." Li Qingfeng licked his lower lips: "I don't have any objections, but in recent years, almost half of the people have been transferred. This time, my family has to fight for their lives. No one else can bear it. ah."
"Haha." Zhao Yuren sneered: "Fellow Daoist Li, four years ago your family took over a shop in my Jinding Shanfang City. I'm afraid you have eaten a lot in the past few years? And this Lingtian, how can we not Bringing a lot of revenue to your family? Is it so easy to get the spiritual stones from my Jinding Sect? I’m going to show off my cards and say, this time you have to go even if your family doesn’t go, and you have to go even if you don’t!”
As soon as these words came out, it marked the end of the five-year honeymoon period between the Li family and the Jinding Sect. As soon as he said these words, the two Jinding Sect monks immediately stood up, and the two outside the door also walked in and stood. Staring at Li Qingfeng and others at the door, Wen Xiuxiang and Li Qingdong naturally stood up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Looking at Wang Teng sitting at the top, he squinted his eyes and looked like an old god was present. It was obvious that as he said, he was only responsible for completing the task and did not care about anything else.
Li Qingfeng knew in his heart that something had happened above. Maybe the five major sects had relaxed the ban on two Jiazi in order to win over the sects below to do work for them. Otherwise, Zhao Yuren and the others would not have been so forceful. Attitude.
This is what Li Qingfeng has been most worried about, and it is also one of the reasons why he dare not expose his second-level spiritual veins. The Li family is too weak. Once the Jinding Sect tries to force itself, what power can they have to resist? Even if Li Qingfeng can fight, he can replace at most two foundation-building monks, but others don't know that he can fight. Once he takes action, it will be a dead end. The current plan is to be patient and wait until he has established a foundation.
He slowly stretched out his palm and pressed it flatly, looked at Ge Mao, and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Ge, my Li family knows everything, but there are only twelve people in my family. One third of it was taken away at one time, and we still have to pay for it." What's the difference between fighting for your life on the front line and trying to kill my Li family?"
"Hmm..." Ge Mao stroked his beard, motioned for the others to sit down, and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, I understand what you mean, but the Shangzong's mission cannot be delayed. Let's do this. Our sect will give it to you. I’ll give you an extra compensation, and in addition, the four members of your family will be included in our pioneering sequence and won’t be the cannon fodder in the front, how about that?”
Having said that, Li Qingfeng still doesn't understand what extra compensation is. I'm afraid that this time another family has used some connections to transfer the allocated quota, and the Li family has no backing and is not strong. Became the object to be transferred. But who can be blamed for such a thing? If they are related, I'm afraid they will have to find a way to transfer the allocated quota. If they want to blame, they can only blame the Li family's lack of strength.
