Chapter 402 - More about the Family
Without considering clearly, was first stunned, then he clapped his hands together, as if he suddenly came to a realization, "So that's the case. Sect Leader Ling's words are reasonable, but …"
Glancing at Old Man Green Bamboo, Wang Yuanba did not continue speaking.
"But what? Could it be that Clan Head Wang is unwilling?" Seeing that, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
How could Ling Xiao not know what Wang Yuanba was thinking? The Old Man Green Bamboo had finally arrived at the Prince Mansion with great difficulty, and they had to contribute and share it with the other clan members, hence they were somewhat unwilling to do so. However, Wang Yuanba's thoughts were too narrow-minded in Ling Xiao's eyes, as he simply did not have the stomach to be a strong warrior at all.
"I am more or less aware of these clans. Even if they were to encounter a threat, they would choose to stay put and wait for the matter to end. It would not affect us, so there is no need to rope them in." Wang Yuanba scratched his head and said.
"The Old Man Green Bamboo is indeed powerful, but in times of emergency, only by hugging each other will it be possible to survive for a long period of time. If we let these independent families be roped in by the enemy, it would be our threat." Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Wang Yuanba, and continued to speak: "What Clan Head Wang sees is only the surface, as to what kind of situation it will develop into is far beyond what you can imagine.
Old Man Green Bamboo, who had always been silent, opened his mouth, "Mn, Sect Leader Ling has considered very carefully. This old man agrees very much, since we are already prepared for battle, we should prepare well, and consider all possibilities in advance, in order to avoid unnecessary complications."
After he finished speaking, the Old Man Green Bamboo looked coldly at Wang Yuanba, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "This old man does not wish to see his brilliance destroyed by the hands of a lowly person."
Wang Yuanba could be considered a big deal in the Luoyang City, but now, he was described as an insignificant person. It was true that he was feeling wronged and dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
On one side was Ling Xiao, and on the other was Old Man Green Bamboo. It could be said that Wang Yuanba was in a dilemma and couldn't afford to offend either side.
Wang Yuanba originally wanted to consider the benefits of the Wang Family from his own perspective, but helplessly discovered that he was not accepted, and could only give up.
Wang Yuanba scratched his head and said: "Sect Master Ling is thoughtful, let's just listen to Sect Leader Ling's arrangements, I won't participate in this anymore, in short, Wang Family is on standby, waiting for orders."
At this time, Wang Yuanba also did not forget to curry favor with his, as his skin could be said to be extremely thick.
"Hmph." Seeing that, Old Man Green Bamboo could not help but snort. It was not unreasonable for him to hate having dealings with the families in Luoyang City.
"Alright, since Clan Head Wang has said so, let's properly discuss the plan. Time waits for no one, the news of Old Man Green Bamboo coming to Wang Family will definitely spread quickly to everyone's ears. We need to hurry and seize the initiative before they act." Ling Xiao said.
"Please speak, Sect Leader Ling." Old Man Green Bamboo nodded his head, he then straightened his body and looked at Ling Xiao seriously.
Ling Xiao took a sip of the tea-water, moistened his throat, and said: "Luoyang City is extremely clear on how many families are acting alone, so this matter needs Clan Head Wang to personally do it, with the help of Old Mr's deterrence, to negotiate with them and rope them in. It must be done within two days, because in two days, other than the families that have already been decided, the rest cannot be trusted."
"Why is that?" Wang Yuanba asked with a puzzled expression.
Ling Xiao said indifferently: "We have already informed them in advance and suggested that they invite them. If they had chosen us two days later, they would have definitely considered their own benefits. This kind of person is like a clown that has no credibility, it's fine if we don't have this kind of strength, it's better if we don't have it because it makes us afraid."
Old Man Green Bamboo nodded, he looked at Ling Xiao with praise, "Sect Leader Ling has a plan, I have already considered these things, this old man is impressed!"
Wang Yuanba also agreed, and these were all words of admiration.
"Clan Head Wang, we can't wait. Let's settle this in time." Ling Xiao said as he looked at Wang Yuanba.
Hearing that, Wang Yuanba nodded his head, "Yes, after the meeting, I will immediately send people to settle it."
Following that, Ling Xiao gave some more details and the meeting ended.
"Clan Head Wang, how many supporters we have is all up to you." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, Wang Yuanba scratched his head: "Sect Leader Ling, do not say it like that, it will give me a lot of pressure."
"Humph, you don't have the ability to fight for the top position, Clan Head Wang, don't let the entire Luoyang City see you as a joke." Seeing this, the Old Man Green Bamboo once again ridiculed him.
Hearing that, Wang Yuanba did not dare speak anymore, and awkwardly laughed twice before he left.
Watching Wang Yuanba leave the hall, the Old Man Green Bamboo asked worriedly: "Sect Leader Ling, why must you choose the Wang Family? There are many families with strength in the Luoyang City, and there are many stronger than the Wang Family."
"There is naturally a reason behind this, but I do not wish to explain it, but I hope that Old Mr will believe me, is that alright?" Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
"Sigh, this old man naturally believes in the Sect Leader Ling. It's just that the state that Wang Yuanba has displayed is indeed worrisome." Old Man Green Bamboo shook his head and said.
"But the weaker one is, the more suitable it is to be a pawn, because it's easy to manage, right, Old Mr?" Ling Xiao laughed.
Hearing this, Old Man Green Bamboo raised his eyebrows, immediately relieved.
Every time I talk to the Sect Leader Ling, I can always learn a lot of things. Old Man Green Bamboo cupped his fist at Ling Xiao and said.
"Haha, Old Mr is too serious." Ling Xiao similarly returned the greeting, and continued to speak: "Old Mr, as for you, what you need to do, is to cooperate with Clan Head Wang's actions, and in these two days you need to give enough deterrence."
"If you want an obvious deterrent, then you have to make this old man do it personally, or else not everyone would be willing to buy it." Old Man Green Bamboo thought for a moment, then raised his head and said.
"Yes, Old Mr does things. I am relieved, but mere deterrence is not enough. I will need substantial deterrence. Do you understand what I mean?" Ling Xiao said.
Old Man Green Bamboo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, I will bring people over in two days."
"Originally, this old man didn't plan to use the people from the Sun Moon Divine Hall, but I was helpless to have that little girl come to visit. I really don't know what kind of bewitching trick the Sect Leader Ling used to make her care so much for you." Old Man Green Bamboo sighed: "But this old man's words are as they say, you should be clear about this girl's identity. If it's true, it's good."
