Chapter 69 Planning
Yongcheng.
Just after dinner, before Qingfu Daoist had even begun his meditation, Cai Xu rushed in in a panic.
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
Qingfu Daoist frowned slightly, glanced at the sunset on the horizon, and shook his head.
"So early?"
After receiving the instructions, Cai Xu came in, panting, and said, "Master, news came from Minghuo that his mission has failed again. Everyone involved in the operation has been captured alive. Minghuo's intention is that if the commission is not withdrawn, ten times the deposit will be required."
This time, Qingfu Daoist remained remarkably calm. He picked up the tea that had already been brewed beside him, took a leisurely sip, and chuckled, saying, "It seems that the forces behind Xia Xue have made their move. This is no longer a personal grudge, but a contest between two powerful forces."
Qingfu Daoist poured the tea from the teacup into his mouth, sneered, and said, "Did you really think that the money of my Qingfu lineage is so easy to take? If you take my money, you have to take the blame for me. This calamity that should have been mine now belongs to the Netherfire."
Cai Xu then realized what was happening.
It turns out that the repeated sending of money was not only due to the blackmail by Minghuo, but the master also gladly accepted it, going with the flow, as it was a good opportunity to use them to shield the master from calamities.
High, really high.
Cai Xu looked at Qingfu Daoist with admiration and said excitedly, "So, this time I don't have to pay?"
The Taoist Qingfu confidently poured himself another cup of tea and said slowly, "Whether or not we give it to him depends on the magnitude of this calamity."
Qingfu Daoist took a small sip of tea, savoring it as he leisurely said, "You've been keeping an eye on the Xia family in Jiangcheng, so you should be aware of the changes Xia Xue's return has brought to the Xia family."
While recalling the events, Cai Xu asked, "You mean, the Xia clan?"
While sipping his tea, the Taoist Qingfu replied, "I suppose that's one example."
Qingfu Daoist glanced at Cai Xu, who was scratching his head and couldn't think of any other cases, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Stupid blockhead!"
If it weren't for the fact that the other person's luck was so strong that he needed their luck to protect him from disaster, he wouldn't have taken such a simpleton with him wherever he went.
Qingfu Daoist didn't expect Cai Xu to be able to answer, and answered on his own: "Xia Xue represents the last ten years of the Xia family's thirty-year great fortune. These ten years are the final years and also the stage of eliminating hidden dangers. The Xia clan is considered one of the Xia family's hidden dangers. Before Xia Xue returned, for various reasons, no one in the Xia family took action against the Xia clan. They just watched as the Xia clan sucked blood from them and continued to grow stronger until they grew into a behemoth of a third-rate family."
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...
Qingfu Daoist looked in the direction of Jiangcheng, took a sip of tea, and continued, "The current Xia clan is just a superficial ailment, unable to harm the foundation of the Xia family. Only by giving them another ten or twenty years to fully integrate into the Tianhe Group can they become a leech. The real hidden danger of the Xia family in the past ten years is the discord between the two Xia women."
The Taoist Qingfu shook his head slightly, like Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan or Cao Cao's plum wine conversation.
The insightful commentary stated: "Whether it was an accident or fate, the two adopted daughters of the Xia family are both outstanding individuals, the cream of the crop. When the two are in harmony, the Xia family prospers; when they are not in harmony, the Xia family is in turmoil."
Previously, even though they both had feelings for each other, they remained in a state of hostility due to differences in personality, stance, interests, misunderstandings, and so on.
However, after Xia Xue returned, their relationship quickly warmed up, they reconciled at lightning speed, and even resolved their misunderstandings. Instead of being at odds, they joined hands to fight their enemies.
Tsk tsk, you wouldn't understand how powerful they are when they join forces. As a result, the Xia family is free from any further threats.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Xia family will be invincible for the next ten years, killing anyone who stands in their way, and even gods if they are blocked, until they become one of the world's top wealthy families, the richest family in China, and perhaps even the richest family in the world.
Cai Xuqian swallowed hard.
The Xia family's future could be that of the richest family in China, or even the richest family in the world.
No wonder, even if Qingfu Daoist overstepped his bounds, he still wanted to make plans in Jiangcheng. Even knowing how troublesome it would be, he still made plans eighteen years in advance. Even knowing there would be danger, he was unwilling to give up.
If this plan succeeds, their gains will likely be equal to the sum of the previous decades.
The eyes of the Green Fu Taoist were filled with regret.
"That's not the most regrettable thing. If things had gone according to plan and Xia Xue had died three months ago, can you imagine what the atmosphere in the Xia family would be like now?"
A sickly smile appeared on Qingfu Daoist's face. He held his teacup and stared straight in the direction of Jiangcheng, as if he could see the scene he had previously deduced.
"Xia Yao is devastated by self-blame, Xia Jun is in a bad mood due to anger and his investment fails, Shen Weiyi is too guilty to do scientific research and goes home in seclusion, and Xia Jue is too busy taking care of his family to pursue his career. Haha, the Xia family's fortune will be interrupted in an instant. At this time, internal and external troubles will strike at the same time. If we give them a push, we can naturally reap countless wealth and a huge amount of good fortune."
That's the destiny of becoming the richest person in a country, or even the richest person in the world.
That must be an enormous and pure fortune.
It's even enough for him to go further and dream of becoming a powerful being above the Xuan Master level.
Cai Xu didn't care about luck or anything like that; he was more interested in that enormous fortune.
Cai Xuqian swallowed hard, his eyes bloodshot, and asked, "Master, can we still take advantage of the Xia family now?"
This time, he was more attentive than ever before.
The Taoist Qingfu also snapped out of his reverie, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly began to speak.
"Of course, but the prerequisite is to deal with Xia Xue first. Once she's dead, the Xia family's good fortune for the next ten years will be cut off, and the Xia family will be at our mercy."
Cai Xu asked urgently, "What should we do?"
Qingfu Daoist held his teacup, looked at Cai Xu, and chuckled, saying, "Now, what we need to do is first raise the deposit for the Netherfire."
A pang of heartache flashed in Cai Xu's eyes as he said unwillingly, "Master, didn't you say that Netherfire has already clashed with the forces behind Xia Xue? Is it still necessary to give Netherfire money now?"
Qingfu Daoist glanced at Cai Xu and snorted coldly: "Fool, do you think the reason why Minghuo and Xia Xue went against each other, even to the point of being irreconcilable? Isn't it because they took my money?"
Hmph, a bunch of idiots. They even dared to take money from the Qingfu lineage. Due to the influence of fate, even if they don't want to fight Xia Xue to the death, fate will push them to fight Xia Xue to the death.
Do you understand now? This money is their life-saving money, the guarantee for this conflict. Without this money, Minghuo might come to his senses at any time and reconcile with Xia Xue.
Can you imagine what will happen to us then?
Cai Xu shivered.
One Netherfire is terrifying enough; if we were to provoke the forces behind Xia Xue as well...
There is no hope for them.
"I immediately went to raise the money, but with such a large sum, we're afraid we'll have to sell our properties."
Qingfu Daoist waved his hand and said, "Out with the old, in with the new. After Xia Xue dies and we've taken over the Xia family, will we still be short of money?"
Cai Xu thought about it and agreed. Just as he was about to leave to raise money, Qingfu Daoist seemed to remember something and gave him a word of advice out of concern.
"Once you've raised the money, remember to put it with me first for the ritual. Otherwise, this money is just ordinary money, not the medium of the Qingfu, and we'll have given it away for nothing."
Cai Xu shuddered and quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Master, don't worry, I understand."
After Cai Xu left, Qingfu Daoist put down his teacup and paced back and forth, occasionally stopping in front of the cabinet locked with tortoise shells, but he did not open the cabinet for a long time.
"Forget it, calculating now might alert them. Let's wait and see."
The Taoist Qingfu slowly sat down.
"I'll make my move after they've both been severely weakened. Perhaps I can even take down the Netherfire."
Jiangcheng, Xia Xue suddenly sensed something, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.
"They're here!"
