"If something can't be done, I'm afraid we can only settle the matter with some compensation, as Zhao Yongpei said, but we can't really touch it with eggs and stones."
There was no extra expression on Zhao Yongqi's face.
But as Zhao Yongpei spoke, he was thinking a lot.
at first.
He wanted to take the Zhao family to a higher level through the cross-domain route, which was like taking chestnuts from the fire, and he would inevitably take many risks.
He is also someone who can listen to advice.
Now that he has established a foundation, his lifespan can reach up to about two hundred years. Even though his lifespan has been somewhat damaged due to his previous use of divination, if there are no disasters, he will definitely have no problem living for more than a hundred years.
Such a long time.
There are always many opportunities.
There is no need to "stud".
This is the thought.
Zhao Yongqi calmed down a lot and turned to another matter: "Do you have any capable subordinates, junior brother? Some affairs require special talents to handle. I hope I can borrow some people from junior brother."
In fact, Zhao Yongqi was also testing.
It would be best if Zhao Yongpei agreed.
He could get an overview of his intelligence network through Zhao Yongpei's subordinates, and if Zhao Yongpei refused.
Zhao Yongqi must make plans early.
Be wary of whether the other party will come back to bite the Zhao family.
"Can the clan leader tell me what needs to be done?" Zhao Yongpei asked after hesitating for a moment.
"It's not a big deal."
Zhao Yongqi did not hide anything: "I suspect that there are monks within the Zhao family who are colluding with outside forces, so I want to find some trustworthy strangers to join the Zhao family and explore the details of those monks."
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
It is impossible for every clan power to be spotless, so this kind of thing is not special.
Moreover.
Since he wanted to second Zhao Yongpei's subordinates, it was impossible to completely conceal them.
Zhao Yongpei's plan also killed two birds with one stone.
Not only can he test Zhao Yongpei, but if he agrees, he can also use the manpower he provides to monitor Zhao Chongshan's movements.
"This kind of thing..."
Zhao Yongpei pondered slightly.
He seemed to have thought carefully before he said: "People's hearts are fickle. It's not the best way to let one person monitor others. If you can use monsters and beasts to assist you, it may be a more perfect way."
According to what Zhao Yongqi thought before.
Zhao Yongpei either agreed or refused.
I never expected that he would also say a third option, and it sounded quite reasonable. I couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Could it be that...junior brother has a way to obtain the assistance of monsters or aliens?"
In southern Xinjiang.
Monsters are very common, and there are also many alien species.
However, it is easy to hunt monster beasts, but it is not easy to tame monster beasts. Unless you have a mature method of training monsters, taming ordinary monster beasts is often a waste of money, and the resources invested are far more precious than the monster beast itself.
And the monsters are often bloodthirsty and violent.
It is very difficult to tame them.
Not to mention the special monsters that can be used to monitor immortal cultivators. You can imagine how precious they are.
As for "heterogeneous", it is even more special.
I've heard of taming monsters, but I've never heard of taming "weird" beasts. Any method that can utilize aliens is an extremely advanced special method.
"That's right."
Zhao Yongpei smiled mysteriously: "Head, look at what this is."
Follow his gaze.
Zhao Yongqi lowered his head and looked.
On the ground, Zhao Yongpei's shadow was long and narrow, and suddenly twisted strangely. The shadow's chest suddenly became larger, as if a huge black mouth had opened.
The color of the "big mouth" is darker and deeper than the surrounding shadows.
Like ink.
I saw this "ink shadow" suddenly leaping out of Zhao Yongpei's shadow, leaping into the air, transforming from a flat black shadow into a three-dimensional dark beast.
The alien beast is as big as a raccoon cat.
Short tail, short legs, and completely black.
In addition to being able to distinguish the limbs, head, body, and tail, more detailed details such as facial features cannot be clearly seen at all.
Because it is completely black.
The essence is still the "ink shadow".
After the black beast took shape, it jumped onto Zhao Yongpei's hair, and its entire body spread out like a fluid.
Don't look carefully.
It is impossible to tell that there are such strange beasts in Zhao Yongpei's hair.
"What kind of alien is this?"
Zhao Yongqi looked confused.
In his heart, he secretly cursed.
Zhao Yongpei was really lucky enough to be able to recover such a miraculous thing.
"It's not accurate to say it's an anomaly."
Zhao Yongpei shook his head slightly: "This beast is between an alien and a monster. It not only has the characteristics of an alien, but also has some characteristics of a monster. This is a product that can only be born under extremely special circumstances. It is called a 'shadow beast'."
"Junior brother is really lucky."
Zhao Yongqi remembered that the way Zhao Yongpei appeared was through the shadow of the tombstone.
This kind of magic is probably related to this so-called shadow beast.
"The shadow beast is my natural monster."
Zhao Yongpei thought.
The shadow beast stood up from his hair, shook his head lazily, and then stepped on the void and walked towards Zhao Yongqi for Zhao Yongqi to take a closer look.
at the same time.
He continued: "If the clan leader needs it, he can use the shadow beast. It can hide in all kinds of shadows, even the shadows of immortal cultivators."
"It is almost impossible for monks in the Qi Refining Stage to discover the existence of the shadow beast. Even foundation-building monks will be fooled by it if they are not vigilant enough."
As the shadow beast approaches.
No sound came out though.
But Zhao Yongqi could feel it.
On another level, a young "consciousness" showed closeness to his mind.
This "consciousness" probably has the IQ of an eight or nine-year-old child. Facing himself, a monk in the foundation building stage, he unreservedly expresses his respect for the strong.
"The natal monster...is closely related to the monks."
"Junior brother, if you give it to me, aren't you afraid that it will encounter any danger?"
Although the shadow beast is special.
But the main reason is its concealment. Once its existence is exposed, it is not difficult to deal with it.
"The patriarch's words are serious."
Zhao Yongpei complimented: "The patriarch is already a foundation-building senior. It should be safer to stay with the patriarch. There is no danger with the patriarch's protection."
"In that case."
Zhao Yongqi did not refuse too much, and immediately said: "Then I will keep it for now. If junior brother needs it, he can call it away at any time."
The exchange between the two seemed ordinary.
But in fact, every sentence has a profound meaning that is difficult to clarify.
If Zhao Yongqi was the first to test, Zhao Yongpei would naturally have a clear mind, but he needed the support of the Zhao family, so he could not refuse coldly. In order to appease Zhao Yongqi's heart, he deliberately exposed the existence of the shadow beast.
and.
He also specifically stated that this was his natal monster.
Giving the shadow to Zhao Yongqi is equivalent to leaving a "hostage" in Zhao Yongqi's hands. In this way, Zhao Yongqi can not offend Zhao Yongqi, but also make Zhao Yongqi feel at ease with him and prevent more suspicion.
certainly.
Zhao Yongqi also understood.
Since the other party dares to keep the shadow beast, he must have corresponding backup plans.
but.
All he needs is Zhao Yongpei's attitude.
