Chapter 689 Hu Xiaoxian’s Plot
After they left, Chu Xuanyue said, “Haodong, your second uncle has been humiliated today. He’s insidious and will definitely take revenge on you. You have to be more careful.”
“Don’t worry, Mom.”
Qin Haodong had noticed Chu Xuanming’s dissatisfaction toward him. He was always grateful to those who were nice to him and would of course take revenge on those who had once hurt them. He would let bygones be bygones for the sake of his mother, but if Chu Xuanming still tried to make trouble for them, he would not let him off lightly.
They had been dealing with the aristocratic families for a whole day and now it was already evening.
No one came to visit the Tang Sect after the members of the Chu family left. After dinner, Qin Haodong gathered the core members for a meeting. Chu Xuanyue and Ye Qing were also included.
Qin Haodong said, “From today on, the Tang Sect will officially gain a firm foothold in the capital. But we need to make it clear what we are going to do here, in the future.”
Everyone present was a core member of the Tang Sect, so Qin Haodong told them everything about the Alien Demons without holding anything back. Then he concluded, “According to what Master Chiyou said, Alien Demons are extremely powerful.”
“What we need to do now is to integrate the power of the Seven Great Families in the capital and help them improve their strength. We will work together to fight against the Alien Demons in the future. This is our top priority.”
Ma Wenzhuo asked, “Boss, why don’t we crush the Seven Great Families right now? It will be easier for us to fight against the alien demons if we gather all the forces in the capital.”
Nalan Wuxia added, “Yes, with our current strength, it’s possible for us to defeat the Seven Great Families.”
Qin Haodong shook his head and explained, “I’ve also thought about this. But our strength will definitely be reduced if we fight with the other aristocratic families. Our top priority now is to avoid the internal strife and gather all the strength to fight against the Alien Demons.”
“Besides, if we don’t reveal the news about the Alien Demons, the other aristocratic families may not agree to work with us.”
“But according to what happened in the Hmong Village, the Alien Demons are extremely powerful. They were even able to get information about the Chiyou Forbidden Area. There must be spies in the capital.”
“If they realize that we have information about them and have made preparations for it, the Alien Demons would definitely take action. Therefore, we must keep the news about the Alien Demons a secret and ensure that only those present today know about it.”
Everyone nodded in unison. They all agreed with Qin Haodong.
Then he added, “Now we have to find a way to gather the Seven Great Families together without fighting and improve their strength in secret. What do you think?”
Hu Xiaoxian blinked her big eyes and smiled like a little fox, “I have an idea to control the Seven Great Families secretly. But I don’t know if you can execute it.”
Qin Haodong said, “Just tell me.”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “It’s quite easy to control the Seven Great Families. Just let someone you trust be the family master. Take the Qi family as an example. You can first help sister Wan’er to reach the ninth-level of the Supreme Power Realm, and then let her be the head of the Qi family. The whole family will then be under your control.”
Qin Haodong nodded. It was necessary to improve Qi Waner’s cultivation and he would do it tonight. After she became the ninth-level grand master, it would be quite easy for her to be the head of the Qi family.
“That could work. But we can only control the Qi family through Qi Waner. How about the other six families?”
Hu Xiaoxian smiled cunningly and said, “It’s very simple. The Han, Wei and Zhao families came here to propose marriage today, didn’t they?
“You only need to take these three beautiful girls as your wives and then turn them into ninth-level grand masters. At that time, these three big families will also be under your control.”
Qin Haodong smiled resignedly, “It’s quite easy to get them. The masters of the three families are only too eager to send their granddaughters over here.”
“But they are different from Wan’er. They are not our side and may even work as spies. In this case, we can’t control the three families through them, let alone help them improve their strength.”
“Apart from anything else, the Double Cultivation Initiation Method can only be practiced by those who trust each other fully. Should anything untoward happen, we will be at a dead end.”
Hu Xiaoxian gave him another smile and said, “That’s why I’m not sure whether you can do it. You need to work hard to win their trust completely.”
Ye Qing said, “Haodong, I think you can do it. Each and every girl will fall in love with you once they get to know you.”
“I also believe you can do it.” Hearing that her son would get more wives, Chu Xuanyue smiled and said with great joy, “Don’t worry about it. It’s good to have more than one wife. I’ll have several grandchildren in the future. The more grandsons, the merrier it will be.”
Qin Haodong shook his head secretly. His mother was deeply influenced by this feudal thought. All she wanted was more daughters-in-law and more grandchildren.
But Hu Xiaoxian’s idea could work. The three big families would be under his control if he won the trust of Wei Yanran, Zhao Qingwu and Han Jieyu. This was possibly the easiest plan.
He didn’t care about how he would make the three girls fall in love with him.
From the beginning till now, the women around him had been pursuing him. He believed that no one would refuse him if he pursued them as the Emperor Green Wood.
His only concern was that other girls around him would not agree.
Nalan Wushuang said, “I also think it’s a good idea.”
Feng Wu nodded and said, “I agree.”
The other girls also agreed. Chu Xuanyue said happily, “That’s great! All of them are in agreement with this plan. Now you just have to work hard and get those three girls.”
Qin Haodong did not answer directly. He said, “Even if we get these three big families, there will only be four under our control. How about the other three families?”
Hu Xiaoxian looked at him and said, “There are still three big families. But I don’t think we need to worry about the Yan family.”
“Well…”
Qin Haodong was embarra.s.sed when he heard what she said. He immediately realized that Hu Xiaoxian was referring to Yan Feifei.
Yan Feifei was now a ninth-level grand master and the elder of the Yan family. She was highly respected and they could control the Yan family if Yan Feifei joined them.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Let’s put the Yan family aside. How about the other two families?”
The others did not understand what they were talking about, but it was quite embarra.s.sing to ask more questions. Chu Xuanyue was still counting the number of daughters-in-law and did not even care about what they were saying.
How would she feel if she knew one day that Yan Feifei would also be her daughter-in-law?
Qin Haodong said, “Whether we admit it or not, the Chu and Qin families are biologically my direct relatives. So Xiaoxian’s idea won’t work for them. We have to find another way.”
At this time, Chu Xuanyue finished counting the number of daughters-in-law she would have. She heard the Chu family being mentioned and said, “I think the Chu family is relatively simple to deal with. Your uncle is a good man and is quite close to us. We can control the Chu family if we help him to become the family head.”
Qin Haodong thought about it carefully for a moment. Chu Xuanli was now the eldest son of the second generation of the Chu family, and the only eighth-level grand master below the two elders. He would definitely be the family master if he could reach the ninth-level of the supreme power realm.
“Mom, let’s do as you say. When my uncle sends his son and daughter over here tomorrow, we will give them more resources to help them improve their cultivation, which can also strengthen uncle’s power indirectly.
“As for my uncle, I’ll give him more pills. I believe that it’s only a matter of time before he reaches the ninth level of the supreme power realm.”
Chu Xuanyue was very satisfied with her son’s att.i.tude. She nodded and said, “Now we only need to deal with the Qin family. In fact, it will be quite an easy task.”
“If you agree to return to the Qin family, you can definitely be the family head. At that time, all the Seven Great Families will be under our control.”
Qin Haodong shook his head. He did not like the Qin family and did not want to be their master.
In fact, the best way to control the Qin family was to find his father and ask him to be the family master. Then all the problems would be solved.
But they had not heard from him for all these years and they did not even know where he was now.
But it was not a big deal. He would directly give orders to the Qin family when the Alien Demons launched their attack. It would be great if they followed his orders, but if they did not, he would wipe them out and reduce the so-called Seven Great Families to six.
Then the meeting came to an end after they discussed a few more simple questions.
After the meeting, all the girls returned to their rooms. They were now ninth-level great masters and had to seize the time to practice and become Saints as soon as possible.
Qin Haodong asked Ye Qing to stay and asked, “Sister, you’ve been here for so many years. Do you know the person in charge of the Huaxia Museum?”
Ye Qing said, “I happen to have some contact with the director of the Huaxia Museum. We’re not good friends, but I can still ask him a favor. What do you want?”
“That’s great.” Qin Haodong said excitedly, “I have several bronze heads of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs. I want to donate them to the museum. Can you help me?”
The Upper Level Spirit Stones hidden in the bronze sculptures had already been used. He did not intend to keep them himself, instead, he wanted to donate them to the Huaxia Museum.
Ye Qing said in surprise, “The bronze sculpture? You have more than one? Are you dreaming?”
“Of course not.” Qin Haodong said, “I have the dragon head, snake head, rooster head, cow head, rabbit head and dog head. I want to donate them all to the Huaxia Museum.”
The reason why he decided to donate the bronze sculptures to the Huaxia Museum was that the rest of the sculptures were displayed there.
The Taiwan Museum already had one dragon head and there was another rabbit head in the Huaxia museum. But he did not care if they were real or not. That was for the experts at the museum to work it out. The only thing he needed to do was to donate them.
Ye Qing said in surprise, “Why do you have so many bronze sculptures? You can just donate them yourself and the government may even reward you. Why are you asking for my help?”
Qin Haodong said, “I don’t want any reward. There is only one condition for this donation. I want to have a look at the other bronze sculptures. Then I’ll donate all my sculptures.”
His purpose was very simple. He wanted to take the Upper-Level Spirit Stones from the heads of the other 12 Chinese Zodiacs in the museum. With enough Spirit Stones, he could make further progress and become a saint.
Ye Qing said, “This is a simple request if you really have so many bronze sculptures. I believe that the Huaxia Museum will definitely agree.”
Qin Haodong said excitedly, “That’s great, sister. Please help me contact them and donate these sculptures as soon as possible.”
