From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 131 The Leng Family’s Conspiracy

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, night fell and it was time for the trade fair.

On the surface, this is a free trade activity, but in reality, it is a trade between several major families, exchanging their own family's specialties for other families' specialties. Ordinary people cannot participate at all, unless there are a few lucky ones who discover some rare treasures and are lucky enough to get the favor of the major families.

Liu Qinghan originally disdainful of such things, but since Leng Xiyao was so interested, she didn't say much and just followed.

At this time, Leng Xiyao changed into an exquisite black miniskirt, black leather shoes, and a black and gold-thread long-sleeved uniform, which looked very harmonious.

This is also her favorite outfit. It can show the youthful vigor without being too revealing, and it can also show some majesty, just like the eldest daughter of some aristocratic school in her previous life.

Liu Qinghan changed into a light blue palace dress. Although it was not very exquisite, it was extremely valuable. It was said to be woven from silk produced by some kind of hundred thousand year old silkworm soul beast.

Although she herself was not a person who paid much attention to her clothes, since she was going out with Leng Xiyao, she naturally had to dress up well to avoid being too embarrassing. Her outfit was very similar to her own temperament.

The venue of the trading conference is located in the Liu family's auditorium. Although it is called an auditorium, it is actually quite large. It is a single-story building covering several thousand square meters, which is similar to an ordinary auction hall.

When Leng Xiyao and Liu Qinghan arrived here, there was already a huge crowd of people outside the venue. Almost a thousand people were waiting here, but most of them were hesitant and looked timid.

Several stewards of the Liu family set up a few tables at the door. Anyone who wants to enter must be checked here. It's not because they are afraid that someone has ill intentions, but to calculate the assets and identities of the entrants. If the strength is not up to the level of Soul Douluo or the available assets are not even 50 million gold soul coins, then it would be a waste of time to enter.

Leng Xiyao walked through the crowd without hesitation, cut in line and knocked on the table in front of her.

The receptionist was also a disciple of the younger generation of the Liu family. He was just a guest receptionist at this time. He was very arrogant in front of these outsiders. He didn't even raise his head and said perfunctorily: "Show your proof of assets, or prove that you have the strength of Soul Douluo or above, otherwise stay away!"

Hey! I have a bad temper!
When Leng Xiyao heard this man being so arrogant, she was about to slam the table hard, but Liu Qinghan next to her was even more ruthless. He directly took out a knife and stabbed it on the table!
state!
The receptionist was startled by the sudden loud noise, and then he raised his head and said viciously:

"You're gonna smash my desk, right?"

Then, he saw Liu Qing's frosty face and Leng Xiyao's playful expression.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Leng Xiyao asked with her arms folded across her chest, smiling.

The receptionist was also an extremely smooth person, and he knew that his arrogance had brought him trouble. Without saying anything, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Welcome to the two young ladies."

Not far away, a man dressed as a deacon also noticed the abnormality here. How could he not know what was happening?
Before Leng Xiyao could say anything, the steward came over and kicked the Liu family disciple.

"Humph! You are such a dog, you are really blind!"

To be able to serve as a deacon in the inner sect of the Liu family, besides having the strength to start from the Soul Douluo level, one must also be good at dealing with people and things, otherwise one cannot hold such a civilian position.

"Ah~" The power of the kick from the Soul Douluo warrior is beyond words. The receptionist was knocked to the ground and couldn't help but wail.

Ignoring the ignorant junior, the steward came directly to the children and bowed, saying, "My two young ladies, the master of the family asked me to bring you a message. He is waiting for you in the No. 1 box."

"Oh? Are you sure it's us, and not just Sister Han?" Leng Xiyao was a little confused. The head of the Liu family, Liu Qinghan's father, had no relationship with her and no one knew why he was looking for her?
Originally, she was planning to just find a job to make do. She wasn't planning to buy anything else anyway, so it would be good enough if she could exchange it for two ninth-level soul guides.

"Yes, the head of the family specifically ordered that Miss Leng be invited along." The butler did not stand up and said very humbly.

"Well, in that case, why don't we go and take a look together?" Leng Xiyao thought about it carefully. This should be a good thing. If the head of the Liu family really wanted to harm her, he would have had plenty of opportunities to do so before. After all, this was on someone else's territory.

Seeing Leng Xiyao agreed, the steward quickly called two maids over and ordered, "Why don't you two take the two young ladies in?"

"As you command!" It was the first time for the two maids to receive someone of such high status, and they became timid for a moment.

"Forget it, that's not necessary. We can just take our time walking around." As if she could see the fear in the eyes of the two maids, Leng Xiyao took Liu Qinghan's hand and took her into the venue without saying anything.

"You two ladies, please come in."

Seeing the two people coming, the guard respectfully opened the door and invited them in.

When she walked into the venue, Leng Xiyao discovered that the huge venue only had one hall. The podium was located in the center, surrounded by hundreds of seats and some private rooms. From the layout point of view, it was no different from an ordinary auction house.

At this time, the venue was already bustling with people, as lively as a vegetable market, and everyone was discussing enthusiastically the treasures that would soon appear at this conference.

"Have you heard? The Liu family is planning to sell a small bottle of Fountain of Life this time!"

"Tsk, it's just the Fountain of Life. This time, the Bai family brought nearly twenty eighth-level soul guides and six ninth-level soul guides. There are so many people here, I think I can buy one too!"

"You? Dream on!"

"The ninth-level spirit gathering array that the Leng family brought out is also amazing!"

"It would be great if you didn't want the Fountain of Life. I was counting on it to save my daughter's life."

The sounds of heated discussions among the people in the audience reached Leng Xiyao's ears, which gave her a general understanding of the treasures that appeared in this trade conference.

The things produced by the major families are naturally the best products on the continent, but she only knows that the Liu family is good at making medicine and the Bai family is good at refining equipment. Apart from that, she has no knowledge at all.

While Leng Xiyao was pondering the complicated relationship, she followed Liu Qinghan to the No. 1 box.

There were also two maids standing at the door of the box, but these two maids possessed the strength of Soul Saints and looked no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

"Ladies, please come in. The master has been waiting for a long time." A maid opened the door for the two girls and said softly.

Leng Xiyao nodded, but she felt a little sympathy for these young ladies. To be able to become the maids of the head of the Liu family, they must be professionally trained warriors.

Each major family will train its own death warriors. Most of these death warriors are recruited by the major families as homeless children. After brainwashing, they will become completely loyal to the family.

These death warriors are generally strong but average in talent. Each family has its own secret method to train these death warriors in a way that is too fast to succeed. Just like the assassin who assassinated Leng Xiyao before, a Soul Douluo master, he committed suicide just by saying so.

Leng Xiyao couldn't say whether this matter was right or wrong. After all, homeless children were basically destined to starve to death. It was certainly inhumane for these families to train them to be death warriors, but it should be a little better than letting them starve to death on the streets, right?
Without knowing the full story, I cannot comment!
Liu Dingtian was sitting on the sofa in the box, holding a roll of documents in his hand and frowning slightly.

"Master, the two young ladies are here."

The guard at the side saw Leng Xiyao and Liu Qinghan come in and couldn't help but remind them softly.

Liu Dingtian came back to his senses, put down the file in his hand, stood up, and greeted with a smile: "Miss Leng, seeing is believing. A few years ago, I heard from my subordinates that the eldest daughter of the Leng family was not dead, but went out alone to start a family. Now I see that she is indeed gifted!"

"My father once told me that the more desperate the situation, the more one's potential can be unleashed. This is indeed true."

"Uncle, you are too kind. If I were really gifted, how could I be abandoned by my family?" Leng Xiyao felt a little embarrassed by such praise and said very humbly.

"You are too modest, my dear nephew." Liu Dingtian smiled heartily, and then pointed to the seat beside him: "Come, my dear nephew, let's sit down and talk."

Seeing that his father ignored him the whole time, Liu Qinghan got used to it and sat directly next to Leng Xiyao.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Dingtian said with emotion: "Xiyao, your father and I are old friends. We used to be good brothers who drank and talked about love together. It's a pity that ten years have passed and we are now separated by the Yin and Yang."

Leng Xiyao actually didn't have any great feelings towards her father. After all, her parents had died when she first arrived, and they were both workaholics who seldom took care of Leng Xiyao's original self. Plus, she was only a two or three-year-old child at the time, so naturally she didn't have any sweet memories. Leng Xiyao also didn't inherit much family affection.

This also led to the fact that even though it was Xiao Wu's mother who took away her parents in a counterattack before her death, she could not feel any hatred towards Xiao Wu. After all, her father was the perpetrator and Xiao Wu's mother was the victim. If such hatred was imposed on Xiao Wu, it would not make sense.

Therefore, at this moment Leng Xiyao just looked at Liu Dingtian, whose strength was at least level 95, with some doubt, and thought in her heart that if her father had not died, with his talent, if he lived another ten years, he would at most be a Soul Douluo of around level 85.

Liu Dingtian and Leng's father are almost the same age. Leng's father, who may be only level 85 now, is already regarded as the hope of the next generation of the Leng family, and Liu Dingtian is now level 95. In Leng Xiyao's opinion, there is almost no comparison between the two families.

As if he had seen through Leng Xiyao's confusion, Liu Dingtian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My dear nephew, you are also a member of our seven major families. It's okay to tell you some things. In fact, every generation of family heads will receive the power transmission from their ancestors before taking the throne. When I received the power transmission, I had just become an eight-ring soul douluo."

"And if your father is still alive, then he should be a high-level Soul Douluo at this time. If he inherits the position of family head and accepts the teachings of his ancestors, then your father will most likely become a quasi-super Douluo directly. Do you understand?"

Leng Xiyao understood after hearing this. This was probably just like the angel inheritance or the sea god inheritance of the Spirit Hall. After all, the seven major families had a thousand years of heritage, and each family had produced hundreds of Titled Douluo. Each generation would seal up their own strength and pass it on to the younger generation two generations later. In this way, the family could ensure its long-term prosperity.

"So Uncle Liu, why did you call me here? If you want to improve the relationship with the Leng family, why don't you go find the third elder?" Leng Xiyao was very confused and didn't understand why Liu Dingtian would come to her.

Could it be that the other party wanted to recruit me because my talent was comparable to Liu Qinghan's? How is that possible?

Although these families value talents, they will not recruit every one they see. If they are not from their family, what is the use of recruiting them?

Since I am from the Leng family, it is impossible for me to be noticed by other families and have high expectations of them. At most, they can just make friends with them and give them some gifts to promote the relationship.

Therefore, Liu Dingtian must have had other intentions in asking her to come.

The fact is just as Leng Xiyao thought. Liu Dingtian then said, "Leng Hongfeng cannot represent the Leng family. Have you ever thought about why he led the team this time instead of others?"

Leng Xiyao shook her head. She didn't know much about the mess between these families.

Fortunately, Liu Dingtian didn't expect her to understand, so he explained: "According to my informant, the Leng family will have a big move soon, and the third elder will be excluded to avoid affecting their plan."

"Oh? What plan?" Leng Xiyao became interested now. She really wanted to know more about the information about future enemies.

Liu Dingtian sighed softly, then said solemnly: "This plan was not implemented by the Leng family themselves, but a strategic plan jointly designated by the Leng family, the Spirit Hall and the Elder Hall, called Soul Hunting!"

"Soul Hunting Plan?" Leng Xiyao now had an impression. Isn't this Soul Hunting Plan the Spirit Hall version of the "Blitzkrieg" in the original novel?

This action destroyed the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, killed Xiao Wu, severely damaged the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and almost stole the throne of Tiandou. It can be said that if it were not for Tang San's interference, the entire continent would have been in the hands of the Spirit Hall.

This was also the beginning of unrest across the entire continent, which broke the peace pattern that had lasted for nearly a hundred years.
