Murong Yin looked at the silent Jiang Liu and unconsciously reached out to touch him.
Jiang Liu was startled and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
Murong Yin looked at Jiang Liu and said, "You look so worried, what's troubling you?"
"No, not at all. By the way, you've talked about the situation of so many forces, what about your Ascension Tower?"
Murong Yin glanced at Jiang Liu, then said with a determined expression, "I can tell you the details of our Ascension Tower."
"In fact, we at Ascension Tower have a Grandmaster in Yunzhou, and every branch in every prefecture has Grandmaster in charge!"
Jiang Liu was taken aback upon hearing this! Each state branch has Grandmaster, that's thirteen Grandmaster, and there are so many Lineage involved!
"Actually, our Murong Family also has a Grandmaster, but he is not from the main branch of our Murong Family. Now our Murong Family is supported by that Grandmaster, which is why we have not been swallowed up by the other Lineage of the Ascension Tower."
Murong Yin said with a helpless expression.
Murong Yin paused for a moment before continuing, "When the Ascension Tower was first established, it was to do business with martial artists. Later, as the business expanded, it gradually ventured into intelligence. Now, its main business is intelligence!"
"The Ascension Tower is now divided into the old faction and the new faction. The old faction consists of the seven Lineage that were originally established, while the new faction consists of the Six Great Families that joined later!"
"The main point of contention between the old and new factions is whether or not they should intervene in the struggles between different factions in the Jianghu."
"The old-fashioned mindset is to adhere to the original intention of establishing Ascension Tower and only do business."
"The new faction wants more, so they actively participate in the struggles of the Jianghu."
"Because the development of the Ascension Tower has reached its peak, its strength has expanded too much, which has fostered the ambition of many people."
"My Murong Family belongs to the old school. As for the old school and the new school, it is just a general term. Perhaps the older generation of the old school adhered to the rules of the Ascension Tower, but the new generation of leaders agreed to get involved in the struggles of the Jianghu."
"So now things are starting to get chaotic at the Ascension Tower. My grandfather was worried about me, which is why he entrusted me to you."
After Murong Yin finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Liu with a shy expression.
Jiang Liu held Murong Yin's small hand without saying anything.
After waiting for Murong Yin to calm down, Jiang Liu said, "Actually, I have an idea that I'd like to discuss with you!"
Murong Yin looked at Jiang Liu with curiosity, and said as if making a vow, "You can tell me anything, I will never betray you!"
Jiang Liu looked at Murong Yin with amusement, "It's not that serious. It's just that I've always felt that it's inconvenient for me to do things alone. I plan to build my own force!"
"Currently, I am mainly responsible for intelligence. Although your Ascension Tower can also provide me with intelligence, the situation of your Ascension Tower is too complicated, so I don't trust you very much!"
"Now I want you to be in charge of building this force. I wonder if you can help me?"
After saying that, Jiang Liu looked at Murong Yin with a serious expression.
Murong Yin was initially taken aback when Jiang Liu spoke, but when he told Jiang Liu to take charge of the matter, a smile immediately spread across her face, because she knew this was a sign that Jiang Liu completely trusted her.
She had been constantly worried about losing him, fearing that Jiang Liu would abandon her one day.
Now she was no longer afraid, and her heart was filled with happiness. She hugged Jiang Liu tightly, nodding repeatedly, and said, "I'm willing! I'm willing to do anything for you!"
Jiang Liu patted Murong Yin's hair to soothe her emotions and said, "Now everything starts from scratch. I rescued a group of women in An Yang County, which is under Wind City. You can use them as a basis for now!"
"Although our strength is a bit weak, it should be enough to gather some basic information for now! We can gradually increase manpower later. Safety is the top priority for now."
"As for the Wang Family in Wind City and the Hai family in An Yang County, although they are loyal to me, I don't really trust them. Use them as you see fit, but the key thing is not to let the people from these two families know about them."
"This is a long-term plan. After all, we are still young and have a long time ahead. As long as we develop enough, we will reap the rewards sooner or later."
"Ah! You also have a bunch of women in your collection in An Yang County?" Murong Yin pouted, looking at Jiang Liu with an angry expression.
Jiang Liu looked at Murong Yin with amusement. This was completely different from when he first met her. He didn't expect her to be so jealous. He then pulled her up and kissed her on the lips.
Murong Yin struggled for a moment, then stopped pouting and responded.
It took a while to calm Murong Yin down. Murong Yin was calmed down, but Jiang Liu had gotten himself angry. He had no choice but to silently recite the Heart Cleansing Mantra to appease his younger brother.
"Don't get jealous. I just rescued them casually in An Yang County. They were all ruined by the martial artists there, and their families were destroyed. This is the last one left."
"I stayed there for a month and casually taught them some martial arts and medicine."
"It's been so long now, who knows how strong they've become? We don't even know if any of them Entry Grade. You just decide what to do!"
Jiang Liu said casually.
"I have some people I trust, can I arrange for them to be included as well?" Murong Yin asked Jiang Liu.
"You decide for yourself. The most important thing is that they are trustworthy, because if the foundation is flawed from the beginning, everything else will be ruined!" Jiang Liu warned.
"I know that. This is our own force, and I will definitely do my best!" Murong Yin said with a firm expression.
Then, Murong Yin looked at Jiang Liu with a face full of resentment and said, "What do you plan to do with Feng Yue from the Feng Family?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu immediately felt a headache coming on. "This Feng Yue! I don't know what to do!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yin immediately objected, staring intently at Jiang Liu.
After a long silence, Jiang Liu finally said, "Then when I get to Yun City, I'll break off the engagement with the Yun family?"
"Breaking off the engagement? That's fine, but aren't you afraid the Feng Family will come after you? After all, this is a slap in the face for the Feng Family!"
"What can I do? I only agreed to this in the first place to find a shield. Now that I have you, I don't want to suffer any injustice myself!" Jiang Liu said nonchalantly.
Murong Yin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't mind, as long as you treat me well!"
"Moreover, the Feng Family is currently a great help to you, especially since you want to build your own power!" Murong Yin said rationally.
Jiang Liu looked at the understanding and reasonable Murong Yin and felt a surge of emotion. In fact, Jiang Liu had already planned to build his own power base when he was in An Yang County, but he hadn't been able to find a suitable person to take charge of it.
My main task is to improve my own strength, so I certainly can't be bothered by these mundane matters. I can only find a trustworthy person to take charge.
When the Feng Family first approached us, they wanted to use someone from the Feng Family, but Feng Yi seemed unreliable, and Feng Yue had that kind of personality.
So the plan was shelved. Who knew that Murong Lie would come knocking on their door, and now he has created this situation with Murong Yin. Murong Yin is the best candidate.
As for Feng Yue, she's not entirely useless. At least for Jiang Liu, she has another person to rely on, especially since the Feng Family is quite powerful. In the current situation, she can be considered a reliable backer.
So Jiang Liu was deliberately testing Murong Yin earlier, never expecting Murong Yin to say something like that. Only then did Jiang Liu feel a little guilty towards Murong Yin, since he had initially intended to use her.
In fact, Jiang Liu knew that both the Feng Family and the Murong Family had designs on him, but who would be willing to be nice to a stranger for no reason if they didn't have the intention to use him?
Immediately, Jiang Liu stopped talking, simply put his arm around Murong Yin, and quietly sat on the back of the Frostwing Dragon, flying towards Cloud City.
