"Sister, I know that Lin Sheng is very powerful, but in the end it is only in the Muscle Forging realm world. Bloodline has limited potential, and his future achievements will probably stop at Blood Circulation."
Cao Luan obviously had different views on his sister's words. He frowned and couldn't help but retort.
He had seen Lin Sheng take action with his own eyes, and it was really shocking at the time. The opponent's attack was ruthless and powerful, far beyond what other muscle-forging warriors could match, and even some Blood Circulation Practitioner couldn't compete with it.
However, in his opinion, although the opponent is extremely powerful, its potential is not outstanding, and its future achievements will be limited. Even if they join Seven Forms Sect and become a direct disciple, it is not worth their investment at all, and they will give most of the profits to the opponent.
You must know that those shops with little strength background will basically seek disciples of sects with good strength background as offerings if they want to grow bigger. The price they offer is enough to recruit disciples of big sects who have entered the middle and late stages of Blood Circulation to serve as offerings.
Before anything happened, their Cao family industry. Wanhua City can be regarded as a mid-level player. At that time, there were two or three people who worshiped Blood Circulation in the later period, and the price was not that expensive.
"So in my opinion, we are generous enough to give a thousand taels of silver to this Lin Sheng every month. If sister is not worried about the remaining money, the worst possible scenario is to hire two more early Blood Circulation experts."
Hearing Cao Luan's words, Cao Ying frowned slightly, and the abacus' snapping sound stopped.
"Xiao Luan, just do as I say. All you have to do is practice well."
Seeing a hint of displeasure in Cao Ying's tone, Cao Luan opened his mouth unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but closed his mouth when he saw Cao Ying's eyes.
But he was still mumbling in a low voice.
"Sister, are you attracted to Lin Sheng?"
"You!? Let you talk nonsense..."
Hearing this, Cao Ying finally couldn't sit still and grabbed Cao Luan's ears.
Soon there were sounds of begging for mercy in the room.
At the same time, in a noisy restaurant a street away from the Tingyue Pavilion, there was a single room on the third floor.
The ferocious-looking bald man was holding an animal leg as thick as an adult's thigh in his hand, chewing it with big mouthfuls. If you look closely, you can see that there are double rows of teeth in his open mouth.
The tough bones surrounding the beast's legs seemed to be nothing in its mouth, and they were chewed to pieces and swallowed.
And on the large square table in front of him, there was a huge skeleton.
After a while, the strong man swallowed the last mouthful of the beast's leg, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He grabbed the black wine jar half a man's height beside him, raised his head and drank a swig, and then slammed the wine jar on the table.
"Happy!"
He grinned, a smile on his face, but it was indescribably ferocious.
"Crimson Whale Hall's bunch of bastards, they dare to behave themselves when they get an advantage. They are not satisfied with that White Cloud Peak, and they want to do little tricks behind their backs. They really don't want to die. When the gang leader takes action, they will not get any good results."
The strong man spat hard. His name was Fat Dragon, and he was one of the thirty-two incense masters of White Dragon Gang. Although he was not a high-ranking member of the gang, he could still be considered a middle-level leader. His strength had reached the peak of Blood Circulation realm. He only had to wait for him to cross that threshold and his status would be further improved.
As if thinking of something, Fat Dragon's eyes fell on another short man in the room.
"A'gou, has the batch of goods that was robbed some time ago been dealt with completely? What was the reaction from the Crimson Whale Hall?"
The thin man A'gou said quickly.
"Don't worry, incense owner, that batch of goods has been processed. It was put away before. It was still a bit troublesome to get rid of it, but the current chaotic situation of Wanhua City is no problem."
"In addition, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the Crimson Whale Hall. After discovering that the goods being transported were robbed, I heard that Zhang Hao killed several of his subordinates in a rage and personally led people to investigate. However, before we deliberately left traces pointing to the Seven Forms Sect, if Zhang Hao is to be investigated, it will only be found on the Seven Forms Sect's head."
"Yes, that's how it is. Do Crimson Whale Hall and Seven Forms Sect think that they can sit back and relax if they have the upper hand? They want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and watch us White Dragon Gang and Fang Family fight to the death so that they can reap the benefits. How can it be so easy?"
Hearing the short man's words, Fat Dragon smiled even more on his face, obviously extremely satisfied with the result.
During this period of time, there has been constant friction between the major forces of Wanhua City, especially the friction between the Feilong Gang and Fang Family. There will be fights and fights among their subordinates every day. Although they are still some disciples with low strength, if this situation continues, sooner or later there will be senior leaders entering the scene, and there will undoubtedly be a lot of conflicts.
However, this situation may not be something they White Dragon Gang and Fang Family did intentionally.
While there was constant friction between them, they also deliberately created conflicts with other companies. The purpose was to draw everyone into the situation so that no one could take advantage of it.
So he received an order from above to create friction between the Seven Forms Sect and Crimson Whale Hall.
For example, this robbery of the goods transported by the Crimson Whale Hall meant that he had the tacit approval of the higher-ups.
Although there are not many goods, they are all rare items, and they can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
And there is no need to worry about the other party's retaliation. He has rarely encountered such good things before. Now taking advantage of this opportunity, he will naturally make a lot of money.
Even if he is exposed, it doesn't matter. There are experts in the gang on both sides to tell the truth.
The more I thought about him, the better he felt, and I couldn't help but sigh.
"Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better."
"Send someone to keep an eye on me. Don't let go of the other lines of the Crimson Whale Hall, as well as Seven Forms Sect, and take advantage of them as well."
"Don't worry, the internal communication channel at the Crimson Whale Hall has been ventilated. If there is any news, we will be notified first."
A'gou also answered with a smile on his face.
Obviously, they can get a lot of money this time, which is much richer than their usual salary.
"As for the Seven Forms Sect, I have sent people to keep an eye on it, but this Seven Forms Sect is much lower profile than Crimson Whale Hall, and there are not as many outward trade routes as Crimson Whale Hall, so the opportunities are not easy to grasp."
When Seven Forms Sect was mentioned, A'gou frowned.
Just when he was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Fat Dragon's ears moved, as if he was confirming something. Only after confirming that he was in person did he speak calmly.
Soon there was a creak, and the door opened, and a bearded man wearing a dark gray coat with a white dragon pattern embroidered on the back walked in. Just from the clothing decoration, he knew that this person was White Dragon Gang.
As soon as the man came in, he immediately saluted the three people in the room.
"I've met the incense owner, Vice Incense Master."
"Didn't I ask you to stare at the market? Why did you come here?"
The moment he saw this man, A'gou immediately frowned and said.
"There's news, Vice Incense Master, my subordinates discovered something in the market, so I came over immediately to report it."
The bearded man spoke quickly.
"Discover? What can you discover?"
Hearing this, A'gou raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Reporting to Vice Incense Master, the villain has been wandering around the market during this time. A new shop opened some time ago. It is Tingyue Pavilion from Cao family in the city. Because of the previous name of Cao family, the villain paid more attention to it."
"I didn't expect that Cao family, which had gone bankrupt before, would actually ship out several shipments in a month. According to the villain's estimate, the profit from each shipment is no less than a thousand taels. In this month, the profit will be thousands of taels."
"Tingyue Pavilion? Cao family?"
Hearing the man's words, Fat Dragon had a look of confusion on his face. He seemed to have heard of this name, but he had no impression of it.
On the other hand, A'gou touched his chin with a look of surprise on his face.
"Cao family? Are you talking about the Cao family who was in the makeup business?"
"Yes, Vice Incense Master is the same Cao family. He opened several shops and his business was quite prosperous. However, he encountered a disaster half a year ago and owed a lot of foreign debt. After selling off all the shops to pay off the foreign debt, there was no news."
Seeing that Vice Incense Master was impressed, the man immediately spoke in detail.
"Of course, although this Cao family is doing well in business, it has always been quite low-key and is not very famous in this city. However, it once launched a popular cosmetics powder called Daiyu Powder."
"Daiyu Powder? It turns out to be this Cao family."
Hearing this name, Fat Dragon had a look of surprise on his face, obviously remembering something.
The several mistresses he had kept before were quite enthusiastic about this so-called Daiyu Powder, and they spent a lot of money on it.
At the moment, his eyes fell on A'gou beside him.
"What is the background of this Cao family?"
"Well, many people have checked this Cao family before. It is said that its background has something to do with Prefecture City."
A'gou recalled something and replied.
"Prefecture City?"
Hearing this, Cao family is related to Prefecture City, Fat Dragon frowned slightly.
Although their White Dragon Gang is considered a top-notch force in Wanhua City, there are top forces like Yuanyang Beast Sect and Tianxiang Sword Sect in Prefecture City, which they cannot afford to offend.
At that moment, he narrowed his eyes and fell on the bearded man who entered the door.
Feeling the stressful gaze, cold sweat broke out on the man's body immediately. He was very aware of the brutal methods of his incense owner, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, this Cao family does have some relationship with Prefecture City. My subordinates have already investigated his previous relationship with Prefecture City. There was some connection with one of the ladies in the Situ Family, but that relationship was only for Cao family to provide her with the best cosmetics. With the death of the previous Cao family family owner, this relationship has long been severed."
Seemingly still a little worried, he quickly added.
"And the lady from the Situ Family had already married into Tiannan Prefecture a few months ago, so even if there was any relationship between them, it has been severed long ago."
"Is that so? It's no wonder that when Cao family encountered a disaster, there was no movement from Prefecture City, and Cao family didn't ask for help."
A'gou touched his chin, confirming this subordinate's information.
"So what if it has nothing to do with it? It's only a few thousand taels of silver, and it's not worth my while. When this Cao family gets bigger, it won't be too late to take action."
Fat Dragon shook his head and said nonchalantly.
He didn't want to waste his time on this. If he came with a thousand taels of silver, it would be more generous from the Crimson Whale Hall.
"Incense Master, this Cao family is worth getting for us, not for the thousand taels of silver, but for its secret recipe."
A'gou thought of something and said with a smile on his face.
"Secret recipe?"
Fat Dragon narrowed his eyes and realized something.
"What Daiyu Powder secret recipe are you referring to?"
"Yes, the incense owner, Cao family should not have many people left now, but a newly opened store can make such a high profit in a month, which shows the value of its secret recipe. If we can master the secret recipe of Daiyu Powder, won't all the profits belong to us in the future?"
A'gou said slowly with a bigger smile on his face.
At this time, the man on the side spoke quickly again.
"My subordinate's investigation is very clear. Cao family is now left with two siblings, and the elder sister is quite beautiful and lovely. She is definitely a rare and wonderful person..."
He knows that his incense master is a person who sees color as much as his destiny. After revealing this, he will undoubtedly be able to impress the other party even more.
"Yes, looking at it this way, there is something about this Cao family."
Fat Dragon had a look of emotion on his face, obviously he had made a decision in his heart.
As the two said, this Cao family is indeed of great value. After getting the secret recipe, whether you handle it yourself or leave it to the superiors, you will get great benefits.
However, although he was rude and ugly, he was quite cautious and cautious. He picked up the wine jar on the table and drank a few more sips before speaking unhurriedly.
"Cao family only has two siblings left. How dare they open this shop? Who is behind them?"
He didn't think that just the two siblings could support this business. If there was no one behind it, he wouldn't believe in this plan.
The man seemed to have known this question for a long time, with a smile on his face and a low voice.
"After half a month of investigation by the villain, it has been determined that the Cao family siblings are named Seven Forms Sect. They paid a high price to pay a high price for a direct disciple of the Seven Star Sect to be worshiped. They only made a comeback with this tiger skin."
"You mean Seven Forms Sect? Haha..."
Hearing this name, Fat Dragon and A'gou were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
The man who came in saw the smiles on the faces of the two people and was a little confused. He felt a chill in his heart. He thought he had gotten into some trouble, so he quickly explained.
"Although the enshrinement is from the Seven Forms Sect, my subordinates have already found out clearly that the so-called direct disciple is just a newcomer of the Seven Forms Sect Qingniao Institute who has just started training for two months, and his level is only a perfect one... With the strength of Xiang Master Vice Incense Master, even the direct disciple cannot make any trouble."
"Qingniao Institute? Just started? A master of forging?"
Fat Dragon The two looked at each other and burst into laughter the next moment.
They would not pay much attention to any one of these three words, let alone all three words together.
"Then what's the name of the successor?"
"Master Huixiang, that person's name is Lin Sheng."
"Lin Sheng? Very good..."
