Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 546 He Has Seen A Lot

Zhao Jin really can’t understand how the Zhao Family can do such a foolish thing.

It is even immoral to offend Gao Ge at the moment. Do people of the Zhao Family really believe that they can leave a good impression on the Dragon Court by doing so? Stupid! So stupid!

He can’t understand why all the members of the Zhao Family are so stupid.

He is not sure whether it is Zhao Shuheng’s idea or the Zhao Family’s, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

Gao Ge moves out of Zhao Jin’s villa, which shows his attitude.

By now, the dice has been cast.

Even as one of the Zhao Family, Zhao Jin also knows that there is no turning back. What he can do is to disown the Zhao Family and pick a right side.

Zhao Jin doesn’t care whether he will be cast aside as he does so. After all, in his eyes, he doesn’t owe the Zhao Family anything. Since he was born, he has been aware that he is one of the Zhao Family but others of his family never take it seriously.

Take Zhao Shuheng as an example.

In fact, Zhao Shuheng is not of the direct line of the Zhao Family, which is slightly better than Zhao Jin. Despite that, Zhao Shuheng still takes Zhao Jin carelessly, goes to his villa, mounts the high ride and talks wildly. It is enough to tell a lot.

In this case, if Zhao Jin still cares too much about the Zhao Family and sticks to them, he must be really stupid.

Previously, due to Gao Ge, Zhao Jin’s position in the Zhao Family was somewhat improved. Even the master of the Zhao Family, Zhao Xing, treats Zhao Jin with a kind and pleasant countenance, but now that Gao Ge has just quitted the Dragon Court, Zhao Jin’s status suffers a disastrous decline. Zhao Shuheng, who kept flattering him before now dares to walk all over Zhao Jin.

Therefore, it must be for the purpose of venting his anger on Zhao Jin that Zhao Shuheng comes to the villa to make trouble.

Unfortunately, he is too stupid to find a right target.

“Mr. Zhao, if you have something urgent to do, you may go back first,” Seeing Zhao Jin’s worried frown, He Youniang says smilingly.

Zhao Jin looks at He Youniang and shakes his head, saying, “For me, dealing with the problem in Shanxi is the priority.”

He Youniang says with a grin, “Aren’t you afraid that the Zhao Family has been greatly changed when you go back?”

“Let it be. I don’t mind!” Zhao Jin says, “After all, apart from my parents, I don’t care about anyone of the Zhao Family. For example, in the previous situation, if Gao Ge, aka, your teacher didn’t come, and the He Family were almost dead, would you burst out crying?”

He Youniang thinks it over and then shakes her head with determination.

Her father is dead. So is He Kui.

Therefore, she doesn’t care whichever person of the He Family dies.

Her thought back then was just similar to Zhao Jin’s current thinking.

“Moreover, even if I really go back now, I cannot change anything or be of any help. Besides, I don’t think that Gao Ge needs my help! It is the Zhao Family only, which is affiliated with the Dragon Court. So what? Do they really think that the Dragon Court will stand up for them?” Zhao Jin says sneeringly.

He Youniang thinks and stares at Zhao Jin, asking, “In your opinion, the Dragon Court will definitely not help the Zhao Family?”

Zhao Jin is slightly stunned and suddenly suspects himself, mumbling, “Or... What else will they do?”

“I think that the Dragon Court will stand out for them.” He Youniang sneers, “Regardless, the Zhao Family is affiliated with the Dragon Court. If Mr. Gao really wants to make trouble for the Zhao Family, the Dragon Court can’t turn a blind eye.”

Zhao Jin says in a low voice, “The Dragon Court is too heartless to Gao Ge. Just because he quitted, he can be treated lightly?”

He Youniang heaves a sigh and says, “Mr. Zhao, no offense, please pardon my rudeness!”

“I shall not pardon you.”

“Then I won’t say it then.” He Youniang gets furious.

Zhao Jin hastens to explain, “Haha. I was kidding. Just say it. I’ll listen carefully.”

He Youniang glares at him and then continues to say, “Actually, it is simple. Hypothetically, the Dragon Court is on good terms with Mr. Gao. Then they must stand up for the Zhao Family. It is not hard to understand. If the Dragon Court doesn’t take action, others will feel that Mr. Gao didn’t really quit the Dragon Court. Maybe they will even believe that Mr. Gao and the Dragon Court are putting on a show to deceive the cultivators in the field of immortal cultivation. It will only cause greater trouble for Mr. Gao. If Mr. Gao and the Dragon Court are on bad terms, needless to say, you can understand it then.”

Zhao Jin takes a tumble and nods his head, feeling that He Youniang’s explanation makes much sense.

“However, you are partially right,” He Youniang says, “No matter what is going on with the Dragon Court and Mr. Gao, the Zhao Family can never cause any trouble for him. The Dragon Court won’t respond radically either. After all, the people of the Dragon Court are not idiots. They cannot be that stupid to identify nothing.”

“So?” Zhao Jin asks in confusion, “You mean, if Gao Ge really comes to a conflict with the Zhao Family, the Dragon Court will only try to mediate?”

“Exactly. Not simply mediating. They will probably show partiality for one party,” He Youniang holds back laughing and says.

Although she feels that Zhao Jin is not smart but compared with other people of the Zhao Family, it is fair enough to say Zhao Jin is very smart.

Therefore, smart people are only a relative outcome!

Zhao Jin takes a deep breath and stands up, saying, “I don’t want to think about it for the moment. Now I had better focus on finishing what we are doing. The two mines in the west of Shanxi used to belong to the Shen Family. We must take them over. Inside the mines, some spiritual stones can be discovered once in a while. As long as we get the spiritual stones, it won’t be difficult to gain a stable foothold in Shanxi. You must know the spiritual stone mine of the He Family, the production of which over the recent years is rather low. Therefore, even if all these things didn’t happen and your father was still alive, the He Family couldn’t maintain the status quo. The mines are more like the lifeblood of an ancient martial arts family.”

He Youniang nods her head and says with a bitter smile, “I didn’t know that before. Neither did my father tell me about it.”

“It’s normal that your father didn’t tell you. After all, even if he did, you wouldn’t be of any help. In this case, it would be better to tell only what is good and yet conceal what is unpleasant. That’s what parents always do. Kids do that to parents too. Anyway, we do this just in order to keep who we care about from worrying about us,” Zhao Jin says smilingly, “Therefore, now you must compose yourself. There are quite some capable cultivators in Shanxi. As long as we have enough spiritual stones, it will be hard to make them work for us. Yet, we must make sure that they won’t cause trouble in the meanwhile...”

Although Zhao Jin doesn’t have to handle things in the Zhao Family, he has seen a lot anyway. Hence, he can still deal with this in an organized way.
