The deepest affection in Gu Long's world
Chapter 80 Xue Xiaoren Joins the Team
Chapter 80 Xue Xiaoren Joins the Team (Seeking First Subscription!)
On the way out of Xuejiazhuang, Fang Yunhua walked very slowly, because he was sure that his beloved Brother Bao would do something because of the previous provocation.
really.
Upon arriving at a riverbank.
Xue Xiaoren suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"Hey, Brother Bao, you didn't make a move right away." This really surprised Fang Yunhua, since Xue Yiren had already demonstrated how to break through his Qingfeng Thirteen Styles in the stone chamber.
In addition, Xue Yiren's series of praises aroused his jealousy.
Based on Fang Yunhua's understanding of Bao Bao Ge, even if he didn't dare to kill him, he would take the opportunity to beat him up.
But the baby in front of me now looks completely calm.
"I can never compare to my older brother."
Fang Yunhua tilted her head in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind the other party's nonsensical answer.
"My elder brother can see through the weaknesses of your Thirteen Styles of Gentle Breeze, and thus constantly use sword energy to disrupt your attack rhythm, thereby breaking your true martial arts essence, but I am not sure I can do that."
Fang Yunhua nodded in agreement with these words.
Don't be fooled by how he looked like a chicken in front of Xue Yiren just now, struggling to deal with the few sword energies the other side unleashed. In fact, those sword energies were quite significant, as they were precisely at the key points of Fang Yunhua's attack transitions.
This happened once, twice, three times, and four times.
Forcing himself to constantly change his moves also completely disrupted his attack rhythm. After he prepared to focus on defense, his completely disordered sword path could no longer maintain the unique, seemingly elusive, and seemingly real style of the Thirteen Styles of the Breeze.
This is the real reason for his defeat.
If it were someone else, even if Shi Guanyin were also a T1-level expert, the other party might not have such a deep understanding of the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, so it would be difficult for her to replicate this completely identical battle process.
As for Xue Xiaoren, he was very self-aware.
He had lost interest in this meaningless battle.
"No need to wait until tomorrow, tell me your plans."
Fang Yunhua then explained the Great Desert Line Plan in detail, emphasizing the nominal background bonus brought by the government. This was actually very important because with this layer of protection, neither Xue Xiaoren nor Yuan Suiyun would be foolish enough to cause trouble by fighting amongst themselves, even if they had their own ulterior motives.
They all knew very well that this would thoroughly enrage the behemoth hidden at the bottom of the martial arts world.
"So, you mean that I can gain my elder brother's approval by joining forces with you to kill Shi Guanyin?" Xue Xiaoren frowned slightly.
Fang Yunhua sighed helplessly.
"Killing the Stone Guanyin is only one of the necessary conditions for achieving the goal of this trip. Especially for you, killing her is just a minor bonus."
It's simply unrealistic to expect Xue Yiren's approval through force.
Fang Yunhua had already realized from the other party's Chinese patriarchal style that Xue Xiaoren would only have a 50% chance of gaining his approval unless he became stronger than Xue Yiren. The reason for saying 50% was that some stubborn patriarchs would never have the idea of praising or appreciating their children.
"Then what's so important?" Xue Xiaoren was even more confused.
"Of course, it's about opening up trade routes to the Western Regions, then making Xuejiazhuang bigger and stronger, and leading it to prosperity!"
"what?"
Xue Xiaoren subconsciously started sucking his thumb, which confirmed Fang Yunhua's suspicion that the other party had truly gone so far as to pretend to be a complete idiot that he was oblivious to the world.
He then took out the book, "The Nine Great Techniques of Unparalleled Wonder and Soul-Stealing Power." "Why do you think Old Man Xue would give me this secret manual?"
"Because of your talent, he recognizes it and has high hopes for you."
"He had already done his due assessment and guidance by pointing out my weaknesses. Even though my performance surprised him, he still guided me to comprehend sword energy. Given his style, this was more than enough."
Later, he patiently explained the application of "momentum" and gifted me the book "The Nine Great Techniques of Unparalleled Wonder and Soul-Stealing Power" because he didn't want the Xue Family Village to owe me a favor.
"Favors? What?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Xiaoren already understood the reason. This favor was simply because Xue Family Village had recently received Fang Yunhua's letter while supporting the Huashan Sect, and had taken the opportunity to squeeze a few bites out of the Beggars' Sect.
But would such a mundane thing really alarm the eldest brother to give Fang Yunhua such special treatment?
Xue Xiaoren didn't understand.
"Don't think of your elder brother as some otherworldly fairy. The Xue family village you live in has been passed down from your ancestors, and by your generation, it's barely enough to keep the family afloat. Your elder brother does indeed have the noble air of a recluse."
Otherwise, they could make a fortune by using his name to run a security escort agency.
On the one hand, he was unwilling to sacrifice his reputation, and on the other hand, he wanted his family business to prosper. Oh, and his hobby of collecting various swords also brought a lot of financial burden to the manor.
Do you think he wants to make money? Does he need to make money?
Xue Xiaoren remained silent. He had also worked outside (referring to establishing an assassin organization to solicit business), so he was well aware of the importance of money. However, he had too much of a bias against Xue Yiren. Perhaps in his eyes, she really was that otherworldly fairy.
However, when considering the reality, especially the economic situation within Xuejiazhuang, he had to admit that what Fang Yunhua said made a lot of sense.
"The next head of Xue Family Manor will most likely be your nephew, Xue Bin. Does he have the talent to manage the manor well? Can he support so many retainers?"
His martial arts skills are quite average among the younger generation, and he probably also likes to go out and flirt with women from time to time.
As the official love interest of Zuo Mingzhu in the original storyline, who deceived her father for love, this Binbin is really lame.
On the one hand, he messed around in various ways, which exposed a lot of flaws to Chu Liuxiang. On the other hand, he fell for Shi Xiuyun's honey trap. If Chu Liuxiang hadn't discovered it, it would have turned out to be a good thing.
Of course, I won't call him a scumbag; his methods are just crude and stupid.
As a top-tier version of a playboy, Fang Yunhua truly looked down on the other party.
"Now put yourself in your older brother's shoes and think carefully about what he needs most right now, and what you can do for him."
At this moment, without Fang Yunhua needing to explain further, Xue Xiaoren understood everything.
He himself may not have much business talent, but as long as he can get a share of the pie in this Western Regions trade route, it will be enough to ensure that Xuejiazhuang can maintain a better quality of life, and even expand outwards.
Furthermore, he had personally witnessed the Huashan Sect's gradual growth, and naturally believed that if Fang Yunhua made some plans for him, he could also become a good younger brother recognized by his elder brother.
We should address people's urgent needs and provide what they require.
Now, more important than having another peerless swordsman is the need for a manor lord who can support the entire manor.
"I did it!"
Xue Xiaoren clapped his hands and readily agreed.
Fang Yunhua extended his hand, and the other person thought he was going to give a high five to show his determination, but unexpectedly Fang Yunhua just flicked the small bell on his wrist.
Ding Ding Dang Dang~
