Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 529 I Trust Him

After hanging up the call, Gao Ge’s face looks a bit grim.

“Pack your things and let’s go to Shanxi,” Gao Ge says.

Xia Lu hears that and asks, “What’s wrong? Is it serious?”

Gao Ge looks at Xia Lu and says smilingly, “He Youniang didn’t tell me over the phone that the situation is not serious.”

Xia Lu pondered for a while and nodded her head, “In this case, the situation must be really serious.”

It seems that Xia Lu knows He Youniang well.

Since He Youniang didn’t say that the situation is not serious, then it must be really severe. At least she cannot solve it by herself.

“Alas. Actually, He Youniang is quite pitiful,” Yue Xincheng touches his chin and says, “After all, she is still young and her father is gone.”

“You are much poorer than her,” Xia Lu says.

“No, I’m fine. After all, my parents died when I was little. I didn’t feel sad. As a saying goes, one can accept darkness on the premise that he never meets light. This is the difference between her and me,” Yue Xincheng says seriously.

Xia Lu looks at Yue Xincheng with staring eyes.

Zhao Jin is also startled.

Stared by them in astonishment, Yue Xincheng feels rather uncomfortable, as if having dermatitis.

“What are you staring at me for?” Yue Xincheng asks.

“I am surprised by the words uttered by you! I simply feel that such a statement doesn’t conform to your personality,” Xia Lu says calmly.

Yue Xincheng pouts and feels greatly grieved.

Qingrou aside him says in a low voice, “Actually, I always believe that you are a philosophical man.”

“Um. You are the only one girl who can see through my foppery and understand my heart.” Yue Xincheng reaches out his hands and holds Qingrou into his arm passionately, looking out of the window only to see the blue swimming pool surrounded by some plants. He feels like being in a tropical country.

He feels so speechless.

Zhao Jin is such a jackass.

He does know how to enjoy the pleasure of the moments!

In fact, before knowing Gao Ge or riding Gao Ge’s coattails, Zhao Jin didn’t go that far despite his wealth.

When he started to latch onto Gao Ge, the Zhao Family began to offer some resources for him.

Therefore, Zhao Jin is sincerely grateful to Gao Ge.

To put it simply, without Gao Ge, he couldn’t be who he is today.

One must be grateful!

Even if Zhao Jin were not at the end of his rope, he would still choose to stand beside Gao Ge.

He cannot ride Gao Ge’s coattails only when the latter is thriving.

How can he immediately turn away if anything untoward happens to his refuge?

This is not right. He cannot be such a despicable person.

“Zhao Jin, have you ever thought of becoming the master of the Zhao Family?” Yue Xincheng suddenly speaks.

Zhao Jin is suddenly taken aback. He turns around to look at Yue Xincheng and finally says, “Yue Xincheng, you’ve gone too far.”

“Nonsense. I’ve never landed.” Yue Xincheng sits up and says grinningly, “By the way, you haven’t answered my question. Have you thought of being the master of the Zhao Family?”

Zhao Jin replied with a question, “What about you?”

“Me? Is it appropriate for me to be the master of your family?” Yue Xincheng says with feigned bashfulness.

Zhao Jin pulls a long face, “Is it what I mean?”

Yue Xincheng grins and doesn’t continue talking nonsense. Instead, he says seriously, “To be honest, I don’t want to be the master of the Yue Family. It is too tiring to care about the whole family all the time. Whenever I want to do something, I have to consider the consequence. I won’t be free anymore.”

Zhao Jin thinks for a while and says, “I think this is also the main reason why many people don’t regard you as the second young master of the Yue Family.”

“Why do I make them take me seriously?” Yue Xincheng asks in confusion, “I live my own life and do whatever I want to do. Isn’t it the best?”

Zhao Jin shakes his head.

He cannot know about Yue Xincheng’s thinking but he will never negate his thinking.

Gentlemen seek harmony but not uniformity.

Everyone has his own thinking and choice, which also applies to friends. Are all the friends like-minded? Of course not.

“Alas. We should be big-hearted,” Yue Xincheng says with a sigh, “Take the recently popular vagabondage for instance. I like him quite much! Some may think he shouldn’t live this way. I’m quite confused. He just wants to live as he expects, without hurting anyone. He doesn’t do any evil doings. Why do you have to believe in your own perspective that he is a poor guy? Maybe he thinks that those constrained by various life burdens are poor.”

“You don’t look like a free and easy person,” Zhao Jin looks at Qingrou next to him and says.

“Therefore, I am not free and easy enough! Otherwise, I will go and rove in distant lands, eating and drinking to my heart’s content. By then I won’t need to follow the prescribed order; I can only do as I wish, without hurting others; I will live a carefree life, with sky and earth as bed and quilt, wind as companion, sun and moon as candles, and rain as comforter.

“Then why don’t you go to rove in distant lands? I will help look after Qingrou for you,” Gao Ge walks back and says.

Yue Xincheng pulls a long face, “No need!”

Gao Ge is amused.

Joy is overflowing in the villa.

As to Shanxi, he believes that He Youniang can harness the situation.

At the moment, in Shanxi, He Youniang still stays in the mourning hall.

“Youniang, given our capability, we cannot confront the Shen Family with toughness!” He Chi, still standing beside He Youniang, advises in earnest.

He Youniang looks at him and nods her head, “Uncle, I know that.”

“Since you know that, why did you...”

Before He Chi finishes talking, He Youniang grins and says, “Uncle, why did the Shen Family and the Qi Sword Sect get my father killed jointly? Was it for the assets of the He Family? You think the Shen Family would do nothing if I didn’t say that? Then they wouldn’t strike attack at us?”

He Chi is slightly stunned.

He thinks for a while and thinks that He Youniang has made a good point.

“In this case, does it matter whether I said that or not?” He Youniang shakes her head and says, “Whether I said it or not, they will do the same thing. Since so, we had better show our posture and let them bring it on.”

He Chi says with a bitter smile, “Can’t argue about that... Well, Youniang, what do you think we should do now?”

“Nothing,” He Youniang says calmly.

“Nothing?” He Chi is shocked, “So we just give our family’s assets away when they ask for them?”

He Youniang takes a deep breath, offers the incense and then turns around to look at He Chi.

“Uncle, you are right. If they take action, just let them. We just give away what they want and retreat from the domain they intend to seize.”

He Chi feels fretful.

“No resistance?”

“We know we cannot resist them. Why bother?”

He Chi flares up, “Nonsense! How can we do that? Even if our family is no match for them, we can never submit to them without resistance!”

He Youniang laughs and says, “Uncle, you still fail to understand what I mean. The people of the Shen Family and Qi Sword Sect believe that our family is a big cake. Even if they want to eat the cake, they need time and they have to eat it bit by bit.”

He Chi shakes his head, “I cannot understand.”

“Then don’t,” He Youniang says, “Uncle, trust me for once. Now I’m trying to stall for time until my teacher arrives.”

“Your teacher?” He Chi’s eyelids slightly twitch, “Gao Ge?”

He Youniang nods with a smile.

He Chi sneers, “Youniang, you know how Gao Ge is doing now. He is even unable even to protect himself. A lot of people are watching him.”

“I’ll wait for him anyway,” He Youniang says, “You don’t believe him?”

He Chi nods his head, “Of course.”

“I trust him and that’s enough.”
