Although both are trapped by lovesickness.
But the manifestations are different.
Zhao Shouyan worked hard to become stronger, turned his grief into motivation, and began to work wholeheartedly to improve his cultivation, and gradually took control of the Zhao family firmly in his hands.
And Shopkeeper Wan Ling Wan.
She was still a little girl at that time.
Her character is not much more mature than Zhao Yongwen who often pesters Zhao Yongqi.
Ever since Jiuyaoguan forcibly separated the two.
Wan Ling drank tea and did not think about food. He was depressed all day long and did not care about cultivation.
Her master saw his disciple like this.
Some of them couldn't stand it, so they simply helped her.
Give Zhao Shouyan a chance to join Jiuyao Temple.
"but."
So much for that.
Zhao Shouyan recalled the turbulent years in the past with emotion: "At that time, I almost died because of Jiuyao Temple, so how could I have a good impression of Jiuyao Temple."
"Furthermore, I pride myself on having the ability to measure the heavens, the earth, and the earth. As long as I manage the Zhao family well, my future achievements may not be less than those of Jiuyao Temple."
"He rejected her kindness without mercy!"
He smiled bitterly: "Thinking about it now, I was still too naive at the time. In the end, she helped me obtain even the Foundation Establishment Pill."
After Zhao Shouyan rejected Wan Ling.
The two had a dispute because of their different ideas. Wan Ling wanted Zhao Shouyan to join Jiuyaoguan, and they stayed together from then on, but Zhao Shouyan was unwilling to give in.
Think of thirty years as Hedong and thirty years as Hexi.
Thinking that without joining Jiu Yao Guan, the Zhao family could surpass Jiu Yao Guan under his leadership, and their relationship fell into a cold war.
But it's not a complete separation of old age and death.
It's about being disconnected, inseparable, and lingering feelings...
After decades of development.
It has become the confusing situation it is now.
It turns out.
Zhao Shouyan's idea at the time was a huge mistake.
No matter how resourceful he is, the existence of the ninth-grade clan system still firmly restricts the development of the Zhao family.
"Do you know why I brought you to see Wan Ling?" Finally, Zhao Shouyan suddenly asked.
"have no idea."
Zhao Yongqi shook his head.
Could it be that Wan Ling had a special purpose behind this?
"Ice is a spiritual root."
"He can be regarded as the proud son of heaven."
There was an inexplicable flavor in Zhao Shouyan's words. He didn't know whether it was envy or relief, or both: "Wan Ling is now in the late stage of foundation building. She is also the most promising person in Jiuyao Temple and even the entire Luo Kingdom to be promoted. A monk in the golden elixir stage.”
"If she is promoted to the Golden Core stage, she will be the new uncrowned king of the Luo Kingdom!"
"if......"
Zhao Shouyan paused.
Then he continued: "If there are changes in southern Xinjiang and you have the opportunity to return to Luo Kingdom again, you can find a way to find Wan Ling. At that time, whether you join Jiuyao Temple or let the Zhao family make a comeback, it all depends on your own will. "
Only then did Zhao Yongqi realize.
Zhao Shouyan talked to him so much, not because his desire to talk suddenly appeared.
But to leave him a way out.
According to Zhao Shouyan.
Shopkeeper Wan Ling Wan is also a woman who misses an old relationship.
With today's relationship, if Zhao Yongqi asks her for anything in the future, for Zhao Shouyan's sake, he should get some help.
"Thank you, patriarch."
Zhao Yongqi bowed respectfully and thanked him.
Such good intentions are truly amazing.
"You should also take this talisman."
Zhao Shouyan took out another delicate wooden box from his storage bag and threw it into Zhao Yongqi's hand.
"This... isn't this what Master Wan gave to you?"
Zhao Yongqi could tell at a glance that this was one of the five boxes that Wan Ling had just handed to Zhao Shouyan.
He quickly declined: "This is a treasure for your protection, junior..."
"Just take it if you want."
Zhao Yongqi was halfway through speaking when he was forcefully interrupted by Zhao Shouyan.
Zhao Shouyan's tone was unquestionable: "I still don't need this talisman. As the next generation leader of the Zhao family, it's just that your cultivation is not high. You can't even have some means of self-protection."
You can see it.
Zhao Shouyan's decision cannot be argued with by others.
Zhao Yongqi was helpless.
I can only thank you profusely again and put the box away.
He really doesn't want it.
Although the talisman is precious.
But the hardest debt in the world to repay is the debt of favor.
Again.
Talisman treasures are precious to ordinary monks. For a monk like him who is not afraid of death, the preciousness will naturally be discounted.
"What is sealed inside this talisman is the spirituality of a sword-shaped magic weapon, called Qingjiu Sword!"
No matter Zhao Yongqi wants it or not.
In front of Zhao Shouyan, he had no room to refuse anyway.
Zhao Shouyan slowly introduced the characteristics and usage of the talisman: "The Qingjiu Sword Talisman has pure attack attributes. You can't use it with your current cultivation level. At least you won't be able to use the Qingjiu Sword until you reach the third level of Qi training. A magic weapon once, remember!”
...
Return to Weishan.
Zhao Yongqi did not return to his small courtyard, but was taken directly to Weishan Palace by Zhao Shouyan.
The third elder has already been waiting here.
Seeing the arrival of the two men, he quickly stepped forward to greet them and said, "Clan leader, I have already compiled the list of people who will stay."
"You can just discuss it with the third generation clan leader."
Zhao Shouyan didn't even get off the flying carpet. After throwing Zhao Yongqi down, he said another word and flew away again on the flying carpet.
The third elder watched the flying carpet leave.
Then he turned around, looked at Zhao Yongqi, and handed over a folder: "Clan leader, this is the list, please take a look."
"Third Elder, you should do the same as before, just ask me to use them all."
Zhao Yongqi touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I'm really not used to the title of clan leader."
"No."
The third elder said righteously and sternly: "The ancestral law cannot be abolished, and the hierarchy must be orderly; the past was the past, and the present is the present."
"Go to the palace to talk, go to the palace to talk..."
Zhao Yongqi didn't insist either.
Of course he understood what the third elder said.
In the ordinary world, there is no supreme cultivation, everyone is just a mortal.
How does the authority of the superior develop?
It all relies on hierarchical classification, setting extremely strict and harsh etiquette, plus various honorifics, and formulating the rules in advance into a system that is beneficial to the superiors...
The reason why he still says that.
It's just because of his weak cultivation.
Just trying to win people over.
As Zhao Yongqi and the third elder walked towards the Weishan Palace, the two ordinary boys guarding the gate immediately pushed open the gate of the Weishan Palace with a wink.
Zhao Shouyan was not sitting in the main seat.
Instead, sit in the seat closest to the main seat.
He looked at the folder handed over by the third elder, and it was exactly what he expected. There were a total of twelve monks on it, most of whom were over sixty years old and still before the fifth level of Qi training. There were also a few who were young, but were still in the fifth level of Qi training. It is the five spiritual root qualifications.
Five spiritual roots are commonly known as waste spiritual roots.
The speed of cultivation is appallingly slow. Being able to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi training in one's lifetime is considered a good fortune.
The only exception on the list.
It's a familiar name——
Zhao Yongwen!
Zhao Yongqi showed a look of surprise before he could say anything.
Then the third elder, Zhao Deqing, blushed: "So that the patriarch will know that adding Wen'er to the list is really my selfish intention. Wen'er is my only blood descendant. I promised her mother that I would keep her safe." grow up."
"Why did the Third Elder say this?"
Zhao Yongqi smiled and said: "The list of the three elders is very reasonable. The middle, old and young are all included. This can truly leave a seed for the Zhao family!"
"Many...thank you, patriarch."
The third elder looked moved.
He couldn't tell that Zhao Yongqi was trying to smooth things over for him.
Because according to Zhao Shouyan’s spirit.
The remaining monks are basically useless, either half-footed in the coffin, or with useless spiritual roots and no hope of cultivation.
Zhao Yongwen is still young and has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots.
It stands to reason.
It shouldn't be on the stay-at-home list.
Zhao Yongqi didn't care whether Zhao Yongwen stayed or left. Anyway, this one person could not play a decisive role. If the three elders could be fully used by him in the future because of this matter, it would be completely worthwhile to keep Zhao Yongwen.
To know.
He is not Zhao Shouyan.
Zhao Shouyan controls the family as a foundation-building monk, so there is no voice of dissatisfaction from anyone in the Zhao family.
And Zhao Yongqi himself only has one level of Qi training.
Once he arrived in southern Xinjiang, without Zhao Shouyan to help him, he would have to rely on monks from the Zhao family who were in the late stages of Qi training.
So now we are trying to win people's hearts.
Nature is the best time.
Exposed this matter.
He continued to ask: "How are the people left behind in Fansu? Although Fansu is easy to arrange, there are tens of thousands of people, so we can't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, Patriarch, I've sent someone there, and I think there will be news soon."
You can hear it from the third elder's voice.
He was obviously more convinced of Zhao Yongqi.
...
From this moment on.
Zhao Shouyan retired behind the scenes, and Zhao Yongqi officially came to the stage.
He began to take the helm of the Zhao family in Weishan, gradually understanding all aspects of the Zhao family, and controlling the final arrangements for the relocation.
