It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Chapter 110 Let's do something big

There's no need to rush into things in the future; we should focus on dealing with the immediate issues first.

"Have you found out who those people came from? And who was behind the attack on the Lu Family Manor?"

Wanwan spoke up: "We investigated, and they're all third-rate individuals. But they didn't destroy the Lu Family Manor. They broke in, killed people, and set it on fire—very professional indeed. And all the evidence was burned to ashes. It won't be easy to trace them back to the source."

My opinion is to continue the investigation.

Zhou Ye shook his head: "There's no need to waste any more energy. Since they're coming for us, let them come. I want to see what their next move will be—power, wealth, or our family's reputation, which we care about the least!"

Mentioning this, Xiao Feng, who had been sitting silently, chuckled: "Reputation? We don't care, but others do. Right now, everyone outside is wholeheartedly pushing us onto the righteous path, even the Demonic Sect is the same, as if the world will descend into chaos if we join the Demonic Sect."

Azhu was sitting next to him, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw Azi squirming around, she got angry, pulled the girl over, and patted her a few times to signal her to quiet down.

It was Azi's first time attending such a meeting, and she was indeed a little nervous, mainly because she had never experienced this kind of atmosphere before, especially with Zhou Ye. It was the first time she had seen this guy so serious and so menacing!

"Waiting for others to come to us? Isn't that too passive?" Yaoyue sat up straight. "How about we take turns going out and making some noise?"

"There's no need for that. It's not like there's no one outside our house."

Zhou Ye clapped his hands, and Huang Rong took out a Den Den Mushi. After tapping it a few times, Jiang Xiaoyu's voice came through: "Dad? This is really rare. You're not asking me to go back, are you?"

Zhou Ye laughed: "You've always been a wild child. You had a lot of fun being let out this time, didn't you? But the reason I'm here isn't to bring you back, but to have you do something."

"Hahaha, what do you need me to do!"

"From now on, I want you to be high-profile. Remember, use the title of the second young master of the Zhou family, so that outsiders can't figure out the Zhou family's connections!"

"Dad, isn't this a bad idea?"

"What are you afraid of! No, have you been too busy playing lately and haven't practiced your skills?"

"Hey! Dad, don't wrong me! I've already mastered the Eighth Level of the Nine Yang Skill. It won't be long before I can open up my Ren and Du meridians and return to the Innate Realm!"

"How can you be so shameless? Your brother is about to break through the barrier, and I'm going to Pegasus Ranch in a couple of days to guard him. Are you trying to slack off?"

"Oh my god, how can my brother and I be compared? He has a wife to keep him company, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else every day. I, on the other hand, have to find dinner after breakfast. How can he practice his martial arts with such peace of mind?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Do as I say. Also, improve your strength. Others may not know, but you know that the Innate Realm is just the starting point."

"Alright, alright, since you're our father, I'll listen to you, okay?"

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Zhou Ye tapped it a few more times, but the voice that came out wasn't Jiang Wuque's, but Xiao Shang's: "Feed? Feed?"

Zhou Ye chuckled: "Little Shang, is Wuque here?"

"He's feeding the horses, I'll call him back."

"No need. It's the same as what I told you. Get ready. Starting today, raise the Zhou family's flag at Pegasus Ranch."

The young woman didn't understand, but she obeyed: "Okay, I'll have someone make a big flag right away and hang it on the ranch gate."

""

Hearing her say that, everyone in the room laughed. After laughing for a while, they said, "I'm not asking you to raise that flag. Never mind, just tell Wuque what I said. He knows what to do."

"Oh? Okay, okay, is there anything else you need?"

"That's all, you guys are busy, bye."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi again, Zhou Ye was about to make some more arrangements when Azi suddenly spoke up, "Brother, are you really going to arrange it like this? What if they don't understand your intentions?"

Zhou Ye was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Don't worry, I raised those two boys myself, they know what they're supposed to do."

Yaoyue narrowed her eyes: "They alone might not be enough, right?"

"Don't rush—after those two rascals have finished causing trouble, our family has something important to do!"

The meeting ended, and everyone went about their own business. But just as Qi Fang was about to take stock of the accounts, Zhou Ye stopped her: "Ah Fang—"

"Get to the point, don't call me that so affectionately. If our Di Yun hears it, he might misunderstand!"

Zhou Ye's lips twitched, and she looked at Di Yun with annoyance: "Tell me, if your word was law, would I have to act like this?"

Di Yun turned his head away: I can't hear, I can't see!

"Here's the thing, send more people to clear out that area on the top of our mountain. I'm planning to move the Lingjiu Palace from Tianshan back here!"

'

Before Qi Fang could react, Di Yun's legs suddenly went weak: "What are you trying to do?"

"Why did you move Lingjiu Palace back? Oh, right, you can set off now. Go to Lingjiu Palace first and draw up the plans so we can follow up and make arrangements."

Di Yun's head throbbed with anger: "Ah Ye, can't you do something decent for once?"

Moving Lingjiu Palace back to Zhou Mountain was a grand plan prepared by Zhou Ye, allowing Jiang Wuque and Jiang Xiaoyu to cause trouble in the martial arts world in order to attract more attention. He wanted to know if, once he used this method, anyone would still set their sights on the Zhou family.

He wanted everyone to know that it was okay to provoke the Zhou family, but they had to be prepared to face the consequences!

The experience of the martial world is one's own, so after Jiang Xiaoyu went out to train for the second time, he acted much more discreetly and didn't even bring much money or valuables, all in order to experience the reality.

But to be honest, this experience left him somewhat disappointed with the martial arts world, because it wasn't as free as he had imagined.

After losing the title of "Second Young Master of the Zhou Family," making a living became the biggest problem.

Other heroes can rob others of their wealth to help their own poverty, and even do so with a clear conscience, but Jiang Xiaoyu can't. If he really runs out of money, he can just go home. Besides, what he wants is the experience of self-reliance.

When your mind settles down, you will naturally become calm.

This is quite beneficial to the cultivation of the Nine Yang Skill, so even without special practice, his skill is still increasing. However, he did not expect that his older brother would be even faster than him!

-

However, now that his father had spoken, Jiang Xiaoyu could no longer pretend. Coincidentally, he had already investigated the situation in this area enough, and it was time to make his move.

In the past, Jiang Xiaoyu would never leave a footprint, but now, he openly left his name on the wall: Jiang Xiaoyu, the second young master of the Zhou family!

And that wasn't all. Flying Knife Ranch suddenly made its move, taking over all the smaller ranches in the surrounding area that had been resisting annexation. Jiang Wuque, sitting on horseback, completely ignored the stares of others and began to boast about the Zhou family—

The actions of the two brothers did indeed cause some discussion among the people of the martial arts world, but just before the discussion reached its peak, another piece of news arrived, pressing heavily on the hearts of all the people of the martial arts world!

The Zhou family is about to make a big move; they're going to move the entire Tianshan Lingjiu Palace back to Zhoushan!

In order to move everything at once, the Zhou family is hiring security escort agencies in various locations.

This escort mission is not easy to take on, but if we can really get in touch with the Zhou family through this opportunity—just like Tianhu Escort Agency, which is now the largest escort agency in the area, because their escort vehicles carry a flag representing the Zhou family, everyone on the Thirty-Six Roads of Outlaws has to give Tianhu Escort Agency face.

Even those who weren't affiliated with the escort agency wanted to take the opportunity to establish a connection with the Zhou family. After all, an escort agency only needed to put up a sign; no proof or anything like that was required.

No one can enter the mountain unless the formation on Zhou Mountain is activated. How can one enter the mountain without using the formation?

It's not that no one has tried it —

If the formation cannot be broken, people can still walk out alive. But those who do not want to enter the mountain through the formation will never be heard from again. Over time, Zhou Mountain has become a forbidden area in the martial arts world.

But now, the foot of the mountain is full of people, in groups of three or five, each with a large flag behind them that says "So-and-so Escort Agency".

With such a lively scene, it was impossible for his brother-in-law not to come. Amidst the envious glances of others, Lü Lin, alone, carried the banner of the Tianhu Escort Agency and leisurely went up the mountain.

However, Lü Lin did not spend the night on the mountain. He went up the mountain in the morning and came out at noon. Looking at his fellow travelers gathered in front of him, he said with a wry smile, "Everyone, let's not beat around the bush. My brother-in-law said that if you want to escort this shipment, each escort agency should prepare at least thirty large carts. The fee for this shipment is two hundred taels per cart. If you can accept that, you can send your men and carts to wait at the foot of Tianshan Mountain now."

Two hundred taels per cart —

To be honest, the price isn't high.

A large cart requires at least two horses and two handlers. Thirty carts would require sixty horses, sixty handlers, plus four镖头 (bodyguards).

The most crucial thing is the journey between the two sides. It takes at least three months to travel back and forth, and with all that food and labor, you really can't earn much money.

So those escort agencies that came for the money all backed out, but those that weren't after the money didn't need to stay any longer. They went back to prepare manpower and vehicles and set off!

What is Zhou Ye doing at this moment?

They're arguing!

Arguing with old men and women!

He wanted to move Lingjiu Palace to Zhou Mountain, but Wu Yazi, Wu Xingyun, and even Li Qiushui all refused. That was the sect's territory of the Xiaoyao Sect. If it were moved there, would it still be Lingjiu Palace of the Xiaoyao Sect? Or rather, could it still be called Lingjiu Palace?

Zhou Ye completely ignored their objections: "You're all retired. Do you even know what retirement means? The current sect leader has agreed, so what right do you retired people have to disagree?"

The three old people, an elderly couple, were so angry they turned ashen-faced, yet they were helpless.
