Chapter 147 Qiao Family Layout
"Come in."
Lin Xiaowan's complexion changed slightly.
A beautiful waiter from the medicine pavilion walked in with a flustered and angry expression: "Shopkeeper, they're here again."
"Which one is it?"
Lin Xiaowan's voice was clear and majestic, completely different from the little girl when she was alone in front of Lin Mu.
"This time it's the Liu family."
Seeing the majestic look on the shopkeeper's face, the beautiful waiter also calmed down.
"I got it, Lingyan, you go down first, I'll be back soon."
Lin Xiaowan waved his hand.
After the beautiful waiter named Ling Yan left, Lin Mu's eyes darkened: "Is the Liu family restless again?"
"Um."
Lin Xiaowan never meant to hide anything from Lin Mu. He nodded and said, "Not only the Liu family, but also the Gao family and the Ye family have been looking for trouble during this period."
"Last time, Mr. Xu rescued you, and many people knew that Mr. Xu was the alchemy expert of the Medicine Pavilion. These aristocratic families inferred that the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion was related to you, young master."
"They couldn't find any trouble with you, young master, so they kept sending people to test and cause trouble. They wanted to know the specific relationship between Yaoge and you."
Lin Mu's eyes were cold after hearing this: "Just the three of them, I'm afraid they are not so bold, right?"
"In recent times, these three major families have all received strong support from the Qiao family."
Lin Xiaowan said solemnly, "A steady stream of resources has entered the three major families, and even the outstanding children of the three major families can directly enter the Qiao family and be trained by the Qiao family's masters."
"It seems that in their eyes, the deterrent effect I created for them is still not as good as the Qiao family's background and temptation."
Lin Mu was relieved. No wonder the three major aristocratic families were so bold. It turned out that they had the official support of the Qiao family.
"Three major aristocratic families are like this, which shows that the Qiao family has not given up targeting the young master."
Lin Xiaowan's eyes were filled with wisdom, "The Qiao family's recent actions are clearly to completely control Xichuan City. If the young master is not prepared in the future, he will step into the Qiao family's trap when he returns to Xichuan City."
"But no matter whether it is the Qiao family or the three major aristocratic families, no one would have thought that you are now in Xichuan City, young master. They all think that you are still in Tianyuan City."
Lin Mu smiled faintly and said, "This also means that their plan is destined to go to waste."
Having said that, he was still extremely vigilant in his heart.
A powerful force like the Qiao family was much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
Just like the opponent's layout this time, if he didn't have Tianmen and could teleport directly to Xichuan City, he would not be able to detect the opponent's conspiracy.
In that case, Xichuan City might really be managed like a piece of iron by the Qiao family. When he steps into Xichuan City in the future, he will undoubtedly step into the Qiao family's murderous situation.
"Master, the Lin family did not participate in the actions of the three major families this time."
Lin Xiaowan said suddenly.
"Lin?"
Lin Mu's eyes suddenly became dark.
He has a deep grudge against the Lin family.
He ignored his life and death again and again, and indirectly led to the death of the seventh elder. These made him unable to forgive the Lin family.
But it is undeniable that in this family, after all, there are memories of him for more than ten years, and it is impossible to truly forget him.
"Oh, Lin Yang and the great elder are quite smart."
This complicated emotion made him finally laugh sarcastically.
Although he is no longer a stranger to the Lin family, the weight is different after all.
In any case, there are still many people and things in Lin's mansion that he can't let go of.
For example, there are a group of peers with whom he has a good relationship, such as Lin Mei'er and Ji Yi, such as the small courtyard where he has lived since childhood, such as the meteor lake where he often practices, and so on.
Therefore, as long as the Lin family does not commit suicide, for the sake of these characters, he will not care too much about the Lin family, and may even take care of the Lin family in the future.
"Not smart at all, just not stupid."
Lin Xiaowan curled his lips and said, "If you were really smart, they wouldn't have treated the young master like that before."
In her mind, there was only Lin Mu, and she would naturally not have a favorable impression of the Lin family who had treated Lin Mu harshly in the past.
The reason why she mentioned the Lin family was just because she knew very well that the Lin family still had a certain status in Lin Mu's heart.
"Okay, let's not talk about the Lin family."
Lin Mu was silent for a while, then frowned slightly and said, "What about the Ning family? The Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion does not belong to our family. The Ning family also has a share, so they don't care?"
"Three days ago, the Ning family sent a flying pigeon message, saying that they had sent people over, but Tianyuan Mansion is not within the Ning family's sphere of influence. If they want to mobilize people, they will have to come from Qingxi Mansion, which is thousands of miles away."
Lin Xiaowan muttered, "Even if they travel day and night, it will probably take three days to arrive."
"If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have to endure it for three more days?"
Lin Mu's heart surged with murderous intent.
He left Lin Xiaowan in Xichuan City because she had a life she liked and it was peaceful and stable, but the three major aristocratic families actually wanted to destroy it.
"They just make trouble and don't dare to do anything to me. There's nothing wrong with being patient."
Lin Xiaowan's eyes were calm.
She really didn't care much about these.
In the Lin Mansion, she had survived nine years of suffering, so how could she be crushed by the torture of just a few days?
In her heart, running the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion and being able to continuously provide financial help to the young master is the greatest happiness.
"Endure? Now that I'm here, it's them who should endure it."
Lin Mu closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, there was already a cold light, "They all thought that I was in Tianyuan City, so I acted as a black-robed alchemist in Xichuan City, taking the opportunity to pass on my identity as a black-robed alchemist. Completely separate from me.”
His true identity was hostile to the Qiao family, so it was naturally inappropriate for him to show his face, but the black-robed alchemist had nothing to fear.
At the same time, the Medicine Pavilion Hall.
A group of warriors wearing Liu family guard uniforms blocked the entrance to the hall.
The expressions of the waiters in the hall changed one after another.
"Why are you here again?"
A beautiful waiter said angrily, it was Ling Yan.
"TOLL."
Among the warriors, a man with an aquiline nose who was the leader sneered.
"You have already collected property management fees, commercial management fees and store operating fees in the past few days. What else do you want to charge?"
Lingyan's expression became even more angry.
"Safety management fee."
The hook-nosed man walked into the hall with splayed steps and said slowly.
"Safety management fee? Didn't the Gao family collect it the day before yesterday?"
Ling Yan stared at the hook-nosed man.
"The Gao family is the Gao family, and we are us."
The hook-nosed man chuckled, "Little girl, I advise you to call your shopkeeper out and don't try to delay time."
"Excessive. You are obviously blackmailing me in disguise."
Ling Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"Little girl, you can eat this food randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
The hook-nosed man said in a strange tone, "We charge fees on a voluntary basis. If you don't want to, you can try not to pay."
"If we don't pay, what will happen to you?"
At this time, a low and hoarse voice sounded.
"In terms of safety, we can't guarantee it..."
The hook-nosed man subconsciously wanted to answer, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence and realized that the voice he just spoke was obviously wrong.
When he looked up, he saw a weird man in black and the shopkeeper of the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion walking out of the back door of the hall.
