Terms of exchange

The Huo Family mansion.

Huo Lie suggested, "Young friend Wu, I heard your team has encountered some trouble. Why don't you transfer to the Blazing Academy?"

"Xiao Wu (Huo Wu) has told me about your thoughts. Don't worry, the academy will never interfere with your training."

Wu Qi shook his head and changed the subject, "It's just that His Crown Prince isn't here, so it's only causing a temporary disturbance."

"By the way, may I ask what brings the three Clan Head here today?"

Feng Changlin picked up the conversation, "Young friend Wu, our three families have given your proposal serious consideration."

"I have a question for you. Now that our three families have joined forces to form one large clan, Senior Dugu really willing to help us put pressure on the Elephant Armor Sect?"

Word games!

Wu Qi sneered.

Feng Changlin always likes to engage in these superficial and pointless tricks; it's really meaningless.

"Clan Head Feng, we are not related by blood. You have formed a family together, why should I ask this old man to step in and help you out?"

"Heh, don't let a slip of the tongue distort others' opinions of your family."

Feng Changlin gave an awkward smile.

Everyone has the desire to get something for free, and it's hard not to feel guilty when someone points it out to your face.

Huo Lie chimed in, "Young friend, please don't take offense. Old Feng just wanted to ask about the situation; that's all."

"We've witnessed Xiao Wu (Huo Wu) and Wushuang's improved strength. Similarly, you've fulfilled your promise and shown us your abilities."

"However, there is one more thing I need your definite answer about."

Wu Qi nodded with a smile, "Speak freely."

Huo Lie and the other two exchanged glances, and finally decided that Shui Ningbing."

"We all understand what you mean, and we've discussed it at length."

"Your relationship with His Your Excellency Dugu should guarantee that he will help us against the Elephant Armor Sect. Making us your vassals is no problem, but your demonstrated abilities are still insufficient."

In other words, we don't really believe in your ability to lead our three families to a better life.

Shui Ningbing spoke relatively tactfully, "Our three families are united, naturally we want to live better lives for our own benefit. Otherwise, if the alliance breaks down, it might even turn us into enemies."

"Therefore, I hope you can put yourself in our shoes and consider the issue carefully."

"We'll keep our thoughts to ourselves regarding joining your team, but similarly, you'll need to develop a plan that satisfies us."

Wu Qi understood.

These three families lost the support of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and with the suppression from the Elephant Armor Sect, their family businesses shrank drastically.

It seems that apart from renting out shops on their fiefdoms, they have no other long-term, stable source of income.

As for the three individual colleges, despite their seemingly glamorous appearances, they are actually barely breaking even.

The Elephant Armor Sect often targets its students, and it's likely that before long, a large number of students will be "unable to bear the burden" and choose to drop out and leave.

In his previous life, Wu Qi had heard some of Das Kapital.

Capitalists are profit-driven; they can only earn more profits in a safe and stable environment.

The Wind, Water, and Fire Families beset by internal and external troubles, and probably no businessman would dare to cooperate with them.

The only way to break this deadlock is to find an extremely powerful backer to solve their current predicament.

But then again, since the other party hasn't explicitly stated their intention to join his ranks, what if they back out after the deed is done? Wouldn't Wu Qi be the one who gets taken advantage of?

Not to mention, this lucrative opportunity may very well have caught the eye of Bibi Dong.

If he suffers a major setback here, the Worship Hall will surely lose faith in him.

With this in mind, Wu Qi understood that if not handled properly, this would be a vicious cycle from which there was no way to escape.

After a moment of silence, having considered countless possibilities in his mind, he finally spoke.

"I understand the concerns of the three Clan Head, and I am willing to offer a solution."

"We'd like to hear the details," the three expressed their curiosity.

Wu Qi continued, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needs to expand its Commercial Market. If the three of you are trustworthy, I am willing to help you reach a cooperation agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"As for your threats, Senior Dugu can resolve them today."

The ability to shake up the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is no empty boast.

The three Clan Head were well aware of the relationship between Wu Qi and Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi talent, and Wu Qi is the most monstrous genius on the continent. How could Ning Fengzhi miss the opportunity to befriend him?

Furthermore, this move was also the result of Wu Qi's careful consideration.

Since the Worship Hall is willing to offer incentives to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, temporarily binding the Wind, Water, and Fire Families to the latter's cause, Qian Daoliu will have to carefully consider this alliance if he wants to change his mind in the future.

Wu Qi never forgot the nurturing Worship Hall, but looking at the Original Space-Time, Qian Daoliu was never truly assertive.

In the later stages, they made a series of blunders, indirectly leading to the eventual destruction of the Spirit Hall.

Seeing that the three were wavering, Wu Qi added, "Three Clan Head, good things don't come often, I hope you can seize this opportunity."

"I haven't known Sect Sovereign Ning for very long, but I can tell he doesn't like two-faced people."

Huo Lie calmly beckoned, and a family disciple came to Wu Qi's side.

"Young friend, please go and rest first, so we can consider this carefully."

Upon exiting the Main Hall, Wu Qi was surprised to find that Feng Xiaotian and the other two had been waiting for him for quite some time.

What are you doing here?

Huo Wu hurriedly asked, "Did Grandpa agree?"

"Promise what?" Wu Qi feigned ignorance.

He decided not to speak out until the matter was settled.

If they ultimately fail to achieve this, how will Feng Xiaotian and the others position themselves within the team in the future?

However, it was clear that Feng Xiaotian and the others had heard about this beforehand.

Huo Wushuang said, "Team Captain, as a teammate, you are someone I can trust."

"In Sunset Forest, your numerous decisions led us to overcome many crises. In the Great Soul Arena, your command made us invincible."

"We all believe that under your leadership, the team will definitely win the Spirit Master Competition."

Feng Xiaotian added, "I also believe that under your leadership, our three families will have an even better future. Therefore, if our grandfather disagrees, we will act as intermediaries."

"You guys." Wu Qi gradually became stunned.

He never expected that after only a little over a month of contact, Feng Xiaotian and the others would regard him as a partner to whom they could entrust everything.

They are all heirs to their respective families and enjoy a certain degree of influence. With the help of the three, they can, to some extent, influence the thoughts of the three Clan Head.

but.

"I have my own plans for this matter. You don't need to help me. Trust me," Wu Qi said solemnly.

This is undoubtedly a test for him.

Winning over three families single-handedly and taking them over through the persuasion of Feng Xiaotian and others are not the same thing.

To gain the complete trust of the three families, he must demonstrate his abilities.

After speaking, Wu Qi immediately wrote a letter and asked Feng Xiaotian to deliver it to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
