You must know that the Qianshang Alliance is currently in a leaderless situation, and what they lack is a strong leader.

However, Qin Xiangyang's attitude did not have any deterrent effect at all.

On the contrary, his dying state will only make people more anxious.

During the years that Madam Huang had been in power, the Thousand Merchants Alliance had grown steadily, peacefully, and without any disturbances. She might not have been good at starting a business, but she had been successful in maintaining it, and had won the support of many within the alliance.

Even if they could accuse Madam Huang and the others of placing the leader under house arrest, the other party might turn around and accuse them of false accusation.

People would question whether this dying old man was Qin Xiangyang.

"But what should I do?" Qin Lingxuan felt her mind was in a mess. It was the first time she felt so lost.

Seeing her distress, Zhao Kangping took the initiative to step forward and help her sort out her thoughts: "Miss Qin invested in the Qiaojiang Workshop to develop a new type of communication jade slip in order to expand new business opportunities, right?"

"If that's the case, you can just stick to your original plan. I guess you want to use the dinner tomorrow to launch the new product so that shareholders can see your capabilities and win more support."

"Just keep thinking this way. The ones who should be panicking right now are Madam Huang and her group. Now that you've found your father, they're probably thinking of a countermeasure as well."

"It's true that exposing your father's house arrest by Madam Huang will have some negative impact on them, but it may not have a significant effect."

"They deny it, or simply claim that this person is not the current leader Qin Xiangyang. What can you do?"

"Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't tell anyone about what she did. But don't treat it as the main course. You should focus on the dinner tomorrow night."

These words woke Qin Lingxuan up from her dream. Qin Lingxuan was able to take charge of the Qianshang Alliance in the future, so she was definitely a smart person.

She couldn't help but take another look at the mayor from Chuanliu City.

Qin Lingxuan was so distracted by her father's sudden appearance that she momentarily forgot her previous plans. This was extremely wrong, and she immediately reflected on herself.

Although she could not publicize the news of her father's return, she still expressed her gratitude to Zhao Kangping and others.

"You three will be guests of honor of our Qianshang Alliance from now on. I don't know how to repay you. After this matter is over, I will definitely thank you very much." As she said this, Qin Lingxuan bowed deeply to the three of them.

Next is the time for them to reunite as father and daughter, and outsiders should not disturb them.

Zhao Kangping and the others left on their own accord.

The three of them headed towards the room arranged for them by the Qianshang Alliance.

Finally, I have some time to catch my breath along the way.

In fact, the interior of the Qianshang Alliance headquarters is quite large. There are lush green plants, blooming flowers, pavilions and terraces with shimmering water, and mandarin ducks and koi often swimming in the water.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but after entering, you will find that it is actually a large garden.

There is also a large franchise business showroom here.

They not only saw some common commodities here, such as monks' robes, spiritual swords, elixirs and various magical instruments.

There are also some things that are rarely seen outside, such as a business that rents out various types of flying boats.

Zhao Kangping originally thought that the flying boat they rented was a passenger transportation business equivalent to a taxi.

It turned out not to be the case. Upon investigation, it turned out they were primarily renting those oversized recreational flying boats. Similar to cruise ships from previous lives, they could carry many people high into the sky and were equipped with various entertainment facilities. They even had casinos, brothels, and martial arts arenas.

The commentator who was in charge of the introduction also hinted that some well-known second-generation cultivators would rent this kind of flying boat to hold parties on it, which is what you imagine.

After hearing this, Luo Xueqing quickly pulled him away to prevent her master from being polluted by this bad information.

After returning to the courtyard where the house was located, and since there were no other people around, Luo Xueqing opened the skylight and spoke frankly: "Master, please tell me about the origin of the two of you."

Of course, she was referring to the previous story between Zhao Kangping and Wan Baiyi.

Zhao Kangping saw that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had to confess.

It starts from when I was young and picked up a little white snake in a secret realm. I brought it back to Yaohua Palace and raised it secretly. Later, my master found it and sent it to the deep mountains and forests outside.

Later, he had to separate from the White Snake to search for materials for the Immortal Grade Golden Elixir. During that nearly one year, he experienced many hardships and survived several life-or-death crises.

After successfully advancing to the Golden Elixir stage, he went back to look for the White Snake, but never found any trace of it.

He thought the white snake was lost for some reason.

Three hundred years passed in a flash, and he almost forgot about the white snake he once raised, but she came back in a transformed form.

Of course, he omitted some of the restricted stories he had told White Snake.

After hearing this, Luo Xueqing became more alert. This snake actually arrived earlier than her, and she was the latecomer. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Fortunately, there was a gap of more than three hundred years between Master and the white snake, so the time they actually spent together was not as long as that between her and Master.

"I think it's getting late. There are two rooms. Master and I will stay in one, and you can live alone." Luo Xueqing was a straightforward person and decided on the master's right of use on the spot.

However, how could Wan Baiyi agree? She immediately expressed her disagreement: "No, no, it's fine for the three of us to share a room. I can sleep on the floor."

"But, three people is not convenient. We have something important to do tonight."

"Then I can watch you do it."

"???"

Luo Xueqing suddenly felt that she couldn't continue the conversation.

Zhao Kangping had a real headache. He hadn't expected Sheshe to follow him.

"I think we should stay in the room at night. We can go out for a walk," Zhao Kangping suggested.

……

A luxurious carriage was parked in front of a house in Fuxian City. The curtain was lifted and Huang Tingfang walked out.

After instructing the servants to wait here, she entered the house alone.

The decoration in this simple house is very old-fashioned, and probably only poor families would live here.

However, after hearing footsteps, a seductive woman with heavy makeup walked out.

"How come you have time to visit my humble home today, Madam Huang?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the charming woman's voice.

Madam Huang, having held a high position for so long, had seen all sorts of people, and her energy cultivation skills were undeniably exceptional. She said nonchalantly, "Xiaoxiao, my plans have been disrupted. I'm afraid it's time to take a risk."

"This girl is more difficult to deal with than her father. I'm afraid we must resort to last resort."

The alluring woman swayed her willow waist, and there was a burning energy in her bones when she walked. She curled her lips and said, "Are you asking me for help?"

"That's all we can do. As long as we can get rid of this girl, the Thousand Merchants Alliance will be easily within our grasp."

"You're in too deep. You could have killed Qin Xiangyang a long time ago. Now you want the Qianshang Alliance. Has power gone to your head?"

"Hmph! You have no right to criticize me. You are also blinded by hatred. You have killed so many people. If I hadn't protected you, how could you stay so safely in Floating Immortal City?"

"Forget it, you are such a boring person. Then I will decide the timing." A cruel smile appeared on the face of the charming woman.

Chapter 207: Mother's Favorite

Fuxian City is a city that never sleeps. At night, it is brightly lit and very lively.

The recent serial murders in the city have not dampened the enthusiasm of many people to go out and have fun at night.

"Look at that fairy, she's so beautiful. Where did she come from? Why have I never seen her before?" Passerby A pointed at Luo Xueqing next to Zhao Kangping and whispered to his companions.

Passerby B pulled his companion and said, "Be careful, that man is looking over here. We casual cultivators should be more vigilant. Be careful not to get our eyes gouged out."

After hearing this, Passerby A looked away in fear.

When the two beauties that Zhao Kangping brought walked down the street, they attracted a lot of attention.

However, Zhao Kangping did not restrain his Nascent Soul aura, and many tactful people avoided him.

The Nascent Soul stage may not be a big deal in the Zi Yang Holy Land, but in these cities, many of them are at the level of some family ancestors.

Most of the cultivators in the world have been stuck in Qi training for many years, struggling to build a foundation.

Zhao Kangping was very lucky. He was born with the dual spiritual roots of fire and thunder, which made it much easier for him to practice than those with mixed spiritual roots or fake spiritual roots.

In addition, his mother happened to be the sworn sister of two powerful female cultivators, so he was lucky enough to get the protection of Aunt Yun and later became a disciple of Lan Ruoyu.

Compared to some monks struggling at the lower levels, his situation is already very good.

The three of them visited many interesting shops, ate snacks together, fished for goldfish, threw rings, and bought some handicrafts.

I thought this night would be spent in a peaceful play, but something unexpected happened.

As they passed a street corner, a figure flew across the rooftop above their heads.

Then more people flew over.

Zhao Kangping just looked up and saw a group of young monks who seemed to be from a sect chasing a man in black.

"Master, it seems like someone is catching a suspicious person." Luo Xueqing said in a voice transmission.

She immediately thought of the recent serial murders.

If she didn't have to attend a dinner party tomorrow and didn't want to get into trouble, she might have also joined in tracking down the serial killer.

After all, the deaths of those people were tragic. They were all sucked dry by someone and turned into mummies, which seemed like the work of some evil monks.

"Aren't you going to chase the person who is running away?" Zhao Kangping joked.

But Luo Xueqing first glanced at Wan Baiyi beside her, then stopped her gaze on him: "I have to keep an eye on you guys. Otherwise, when I'm not around, you guys will go into the alleys."

Xueqing actually knew a lot of dirty things, and Zhao Kangping felt deeply guilty. He felt that he was responsible for a lot of things. She was such an innocent child, but he had corrupted her like that.

But Wan Baiyi asked in confusion, "Why are you going into the alley?"

I don’t know if she really doesn’t understand or is just pretending.

Luo Xueqing stared at the girl, she didn't want to explain.

After walking for a while, the street suddenly became chaotic again.

"Murder! Murder!" A woman's scream was heard from a distance.

Where the screams came from, the crowd scattered, but those who ran away were basically ordinary people without any cultivation.

There were still quite a few monks who came over to watch the fun and didn't mind the trouble.

Luo Xueqing: "Hey, this direction is different from the direction of the mysterious man who just escaped."

"The person who just escaped should have nothing to do with this place." Zhao Kangping said.

They also gathered in the direction where the crowd was gradually gathering.

The place where the crime took place was a brothel, which was a relatively elegant place where girls performed their arts but not their bodies.

When they went in to inquire, they found out that the dead man was a wealthy businessman. His neck was twisted, but he was not sucked dry.

This death was completely different from previous serial murder cases.

And someone recognized the identity of the deceased on the spot.

That person was Xu Sen, the president of Sanmu Chamber of Commerce.

When Zhao Kangping heard the name, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"This person is also a franchisee of the Qianshang Alliance." They had read a lot of information about their franchisees at the Qianshang Alliance headquarters and naturally learned some of the situation. There must be some conspiracy here, and even though Zhao Kangping was not very good at calculating, he could see it.

He remembered that this Xu Sen seemed to be from Miss Qin's faction.

"There's a business dinner tomorrow. What's the purpose of this?" Zhao Kangping was disgusted by this despicable tactic.

There are two factions within the Qianshang Alliance, one supporting Huang Tingfang and the other supporting Qin Lingxuan.

Didn’t expect the intrigues within this kind of business alliance to be so bloody?

At this point in time, it is easy to suspect who did this.

Mrs. Huang wouldn't want to use such despicable means to scare those who support Qin Lingxuan before the dinner begins, right?

"Master, I heard from Miss Qin that they invited quite a few chambers of commerce that haven't yet joined the alliance to this dinner. They hope to gain some partners through this dinner."

"Oh, then this man's death will probably scare away some timid chambers of commerce."

"But doing so will only make people think that Madam Huang's group is low-class."

After Zhao Kangping had enough of the fun, he pulled the two beauties out.

But before he had gone far, he saw a sneaky figure. It was a petite girl.

However, when Zhao Kangping looked closely, he found that it was the cross-dressing man he had seen before.
