Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 503 Lure the snake out of its hole
Song Changsheng naturally wanted to go and see the shop, but thinking that Song Qingxing and the others should have been "released" by now, he still wanted to go back first to confirm their safety before going. Anyway, the shop was there and would not run away.

"No problem, but I have to go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow. I don't know when I can come back. If I'm not here, just go find Qingluan. She will take you there."

Peng Siying naturally didn't care. Since she had already given it to Song Changsheng, it didn't matter to her when he went to see it.

"By the way, what do you plan to use the store for? Ordinary goods are not very competitive in Sifang City."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng shook his head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. If I hadn't signed the agreement in advance, I would have planned to sell [Golden Wire Charcoal]."

"The quality of your batch of [Golden Wire Charcoal] is indeed very good. Do you regret signing the agreement so early?"

"No, I've already signed it, there's nothing to regret. Besides, the price offered by the Chamber of Commerce is not low, so I didn't suffer any loss. I'll think about the shop carefully after I go back."

For the Song family, it is indeed difficult to come up with a competitive product. It is impossible to sell elixirs here. There is no advantage at all.

There are quite a few rare spiritual materials brought from meteorites in the Wutong Secret Realm, but those are not things that can be sold on a large scale and can only be taken out occasionally to cash in.

"I don't know how my mother's spirit wine is brewing. It would be nice if we could mass-produce it and send a batch over here to sell."

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng's eyes lit up and he found this to be a good idea. There was no rent anyway, and even if it was not easy to sell, he would not lose money. If he could open up the market, he would make a lot of money.

The market in Sifang City is much larger than that in Luoxia City and Yangzhou.

"You must have thought of something. You're smiling so happily."

"I suddenly have an idea in my mind. I'll plan it carefully after I go back to see if it's feasible."

"Well, if you're not sure I can give you some advice."

"Then I won't be polite."

"Oh, right." Song Changsheng seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject, "What are you going to do with those two snake people in the end?"

"Ah? The span of your thinking is too big." Peng Siying couldn't keep up with his pace. He was clearly talking about the store just a second ago, but how did he suddenly turn to the snake people?

"It suddenly occurred to me that I had been taking the blame for them for a while, so I should at least know the outcome, right?"

Peng Siying thought for a moment and said, "We haven't come to a conclusion yet. The right to deal with the two snake people is in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion, so I didn't ask too much.

However, according to past experience, Mo Lin must be executed openly. Such a vicious incident has not occurred in Sifang City for many years. His hands are stained with so much blood. In order to shock the villains, killing him as a warning to the rest is necessary.

It’s hard to say about Mo Ji.

Although this incident was caused by her, she had no casualties and had never fought in the city. In essence, she was innocent.

It would be too much to treat him with the same crime as Mo Lin, and it would also damage Sifang City's image of fairness and strictness. An acquittal is unlikely, and the people in the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not be able to swallow this.

After all, the loss this time was too great, and one Mo Lin was not enough to eliminate the anger in their hearts.

I think I will suffer a little, but my life will not be in danger.

Of course, these are just my guesses, and the specific handling will depend on the opinion of the City Lord's Mansion."

Song Changsheng nodded in understanding. It was almost what he expected.

These two siblings were really unlucky. They accidentally entered the Gusu cultivation world and ran into the ancient witch clan. They were sold as slaves, and they were the lowest kind of slaves.

Mo Lin was worthy of his status as an elder brother, but unfortunately, although his intentions were good, he handled things too roughly, leaving too many loopholes.

Not only has the person not been rescued, but he has also lost his life, and his enemy is still alive and well. How can it be described as tragic?

Although Mo Ji was able to save her life, due to the special nature of snake women, being alive might not be a good thing for her. Living a life worse than death is not just as simple as saying it.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Song Changsheng stood up and said goodbye.

Compared to when I went out, there are now more and more pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops on both sides of the road are open. A quick look shows that everything is sold. It is indeed not easy for the Song family to gain a foothold here.

As he walked, Song Changsheng's brows suddenly frowned, and the feeling of being secretly spied on appeared again.

Having learned from the previous lesson, he remained calm on the surface and continued to move forward, but secretly spread his spiritual awareness all over the place, looking for any suspicious characters.

He thought he would get nothing, but unexpectedly he actually saw a familiar figure—Feng Wujin from Ziyun Pavilion!
Although he was deliberately hiding his whereabouts, it was obvious that he had not mastered the means of concealment. He had no way of hiding from Song Changsheng's spiritual sense. Yet he was unaware of it and thought he was hiding well.

Song Changsheng sneered in his heart, but did not expose him. Instead, he withdrew his spiritual sense, pretended that he knew nothing, and returned to the inn.

As soon as we entered the inn, Song Qingxi and three others came to greet us.

"father."

"uncle."

Seeing the three people returning safely, Song Changsheng finally felt relieved.

"Is everything okay?"

"It's okay. Senior Peng has always been taking care of us. Except that we can't leave Dengtianfang, it's no different from being outside."

Hearing this, the figure of the old man in hemp clothes involuntarily appeared in Song Changsheng's mind. The other party gave him a very good first impression.

"You haven't revealed your identities, have you?"

Song Qingxi thought about it carefully and said, "Senior Peng may have seen that we all used disguises, but he didn't expose us. We didn't leave our real names, so we should not have been exposed yet."

"That's good." Song Changsheng nodded slightly.

Although the Bandung Chamber of Commerce is a neutral force and is unlikely to do anything to the Song family, it is better to be safe than sorry and hide one's weaknesses when necessary.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to Song Qingxi and said, "You deliberately didn't make the Tianjiao list, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Qingxi's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, while Song Qingyun was a little bit unbelievable. Only Song Qingxing looked calm.

"How did you know?" Song Qingxi was a little discouraged. She originally thought that she had hidden it well, but she didn't expect that Peng Zhengyan saw through it, Song Qingxing saw through it, and now even Song Changsheng saw through it.

Song Changsheng smiled and said, "I watched you grow up, don't I know how capable you are?" If Song Qingxi had developed along the normal trajectory, with his talent, he would not have been able to enter the list of geniuses, and it would even be difficult for him to reach the top.

But after she integrated the [Origin of Laws], she had already been reborn. Judging from her qualifications alone, she could be considered the best among the three, and Song Qingyun was the last one.

After all, what the Ascension Pavilion tests is the aptitude of the cultivator, which has nothing to do with his cultivation level. So it doesn't make sense that Song Qingyun and Song Qingxing can be included in the Tianjiao List but she can't.

The only possibility is that she was deliberately hiding her abilities, which was something she could do.

Song Qingxi smiled faintly and said, "My second climb to the top should also be able to enter the top 60, but I thought that the three of us reaching the top together has already caused a sensation. If we enter the Tianjiao list together again, it would be a bit too conspicuous, so I stayed where I was for a while longer."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng was not surprised. Her and Song Qingxing's performances were within his expectations.

Song Qingxing is a swordsman.

The swordsman is fearless and upright, this is his way, so he will not hide his shortcomings, and he cannot hide his shortcomings, so he has been giving it his all from the beginning.

Song Qingxi has never been a high-profile person since she was a child, and her presence in the clan is very low. In addition, she is meticulous and often considers more than other people, so she abandoned false reputation and chose to hide her incompetence.

Only Song Qingyun's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations, and he even left a pseudonym.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never been a person who pursues fame, and he has been as low-key as possible in the clan. Before he broke through the foundation building, most people in the clan didn't even know about the relationship between them.

But this time it was a bit too high-profile.

It is said that he was the first one to come up with the idea of ​​climbing Dengtian Pavilion. It was abnormal, too abnormal.

Glancing at the silent Song Qingyun, he did not ask the doubts in his mind, but told them what happened after they were blocked in Dengtianfang.

There was a lot of information, and it took the three of them a while to digest it.

"I never expected that so many things happened in just a few days. We knew nothing in Dengtianfang and only heard some rumors after the blockade was lifted." Song Qingyun's tone was full of regret. He felt that he had missed a lot in the past few days.

"At the time, I just thought that the person had a strange smell, but I didn't expect that he was also a snakeman."

After saying that, Song Qingxi shook his head and said regretfully: "If Mo Lin had not been so anxious and had chosen to take action outside the city, I think this would not have been the outcome."

“He was indeed a bit too reckless, but he has so many innocent lives on his hands, so he deserves this fate.

Okay, that’s over now, and what I’m going to say next is more important.

Things in Sifang City have been almost done. Do you plan to go back with me, or stay here to train for a while?" Song Changsheng looked at the three people and said.

The three of them looked at each other, and Song Qingxi said with a little hesitation: "Brother Xing and I plan to go back with you. He is not suitable for training outside now. Wutong Secret Realm is more suitable for him."

Song Changsheng nodded slightly. Song Qingxing has now reached the critical point of breaking through the Purple Mansion Stage. What he needs is to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and seek opportunities for breakthroughs. The effect of training outside on him is almost zero, and he also needs to take risks, which is not worth the loss.

It is normal for a couple to make this choice since they are inseparable.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he turned his gaze to Song Qingyun and asked, "What about you?"

"I...Father, I plan to stay here and gain experience for a while."

"Okay." Song Changsheng nodded without asking any more questions.

Song Qingyun's current position in the family is indeed a bit awkward. It is a good thing for him to leave the family temporarily. Anyway, he has the experience of training alone, has the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and has a lot of treasures on him, so there is no need to worry too much about his safety.

Moreover, for Song Qingyun, now is the age when he should venture out into the world. It will not be beneficial for his cultivation to work in isolation.

"If nothing goes wrong, we will leave in the next few days, but before we leave, I have one more thing to do."

The three of them looked over at the same time.

"When I rushed back from the inner city today, I found Feng Wujin following me in secret. I think he can't hold back any longer. Keeping him here is a hidden danger after all, so I decided to lure him out!"

"Luring the snake out of its hole? Wouldn't that be too dangerous?" Song Qingxi asked with a worried look on his face.

"There is definitely some risk, but I am confident that I can handle it, so you should stay safely in the inn for the next few days. After I deal with him, we will return to the family."

Song Changsheng had already made the decision, and the younger generation didn't dare to say anything more. They could only remind him to be careful.

The next morning, Song Changsheng went to the inner city to find Qingluan and asked her to take him to see the shop.

His shop is located in the south of the city. It is not a prosperous area, but the flow of people is not small. It is very lively both during the day and at night. It occupies a large area and is convenient for doing anything. It is indeed a good shop.

He also asked Qingluan about the original rent of the shop, and the result was 130,000 low-grade spirit stones per year.

This is equivalent to saving him 130,000 yuan a year. Peng Siying really gave him a big gift.

Although he made a significant contribution to solving the case this time, the contribution could be big or small. Whether there would be a reward and what kind of reward he would receive all depended on a word from the City Lord's Mansion.

Peng Siying must have put in a lot of effort in this.

"Elder Song, please give us a heads up before you leave Sifang City. Young lady said she would go to see you off in person." Qingluan said this with a troubled look on her face. She felt that something was not right about the current situation. Young lady had never said before that she would go to see anyone off specially.

Song Changsheng was also a little surprised when he heard this, and quickly declined, "Miss, you are a valuable lady, and I'm afraid it will cause criticism if you send me off in person, why don't you just forget it?"

Qingluan was very moved when she heard this, but unfortunately she couldn't make the decision. She smiled and nodded, saying, "I will tell the lady the truth."

After completing the formalities, Song Changsheng bid farewell to Qingluan and walked straight out of the city.

Although he did not sense Feng Wujin's presence today, he believed that Feng Wujin would definitely not give up just like that and must be observing him in secret.

So he walked out of the city in such a swagger. He didn't believe that Feng Wujin would give up this rare opportunity...
