Chapter 477

~7 min read 1,394 words

The Zhao family head didn't figure it out at all. He admitted that Yun Shen was indeed a rare heaven-defying talent. Born humble but able to make such a name for himself, he indeed had investment value.

But to say that they would give away one of their own family's foundations, this was too outrageous, right?

The 【Seven Books of Military Classics】 is one of the most famous foundations of the Zhao family, and it can bring huge benefits to the Zhao family every year. How can such a treasure be given away as a return gift for a political marriage???

And with such a high cost, the Old Ancestor didn't even try to fight for the position of primary wife, only asking for the position of two concubines???

Not to mention the Zhao family head, even Yun Shen, who originally wanted to refuse on the spot, was shown by Zhao Ji's operation.

I have to say, he was shamefully moved.

The 【Seven Books of Military Classics】 is an Shi Shi-grade World Rare Object. Just now, there was a formation protection in the Secret Pavilion, so he couldn't probe any information, but he could also imagine that the effect was absolutely extraordinary. It was absolutely a World Rare Object that could directly improve combat power and was not just for observation.

Zhao Shuiyun was very uneasy. Seeing that Yun Shen didn't agree immediately, she knew that her foster father's condition hadn't completely moved Yun Shen, but only made him hesitate.

As for the 【Seven Books of Military Classics】 being given away because of this, she didn't consider that much.

A married daughter is like spilled water, and her elbows turn outward...

It's just that she didn't take it to heart, which doesn't mean others didn't care.

The onlookers around were even more startled, and some of them knelt down on the spot.

"Old Ancestor, think twice!"

"The 'Seven Books of Military Classics' is the foundation of our Zhao family and cannot be given away lightly!"

"If the 'Seven Books of Military Classics' is gone, our Zhao family will definitely suffer a great loss of strength!"

"Old Ancestor! He is an outsider, just with some strength. How can he be worthy of our Zhao family spending huge sums of money to cultivate?"

As the saying goes, the buttocks determine the head.

Once the Zhao family loses the 【Seven Books of Military Classics】, the ones who will suffer losses will definitely be these Zhao family members.

Every year, the Zhao family can use the 【Seven Books of Military Classics】 to trade for a lot of resources and benefits from other factions.

And these resources and benefits, more or less, will fall on their heads.

But if the Zhao family's overall annual income drops sharply, then the resources they usually get will definitely decrease accordingly.

How could they not be anxious?

Inevitably, the gaze toward Yun Shen also carried a bit of hostility and enmity.

Gradually, more and more Zhao family onlookers knelt down, hoping that Zhao Ji would take back his order.

"Silence!"

Zhao Ji's voice was cold, as if it had a silencing effect. All the kneeling Zhao family onlookers were silent and didn't dare to be the first bird.

Just now, when Zhao Ji was teaching the Zhao family head a lesson, everyone around saw it. Many people who liked to watch the fun took pictures and sent them to some Zhao family group chats. It spread from ten to a hundred, and now the heat is still fermenting. Maybe it will spread to the outside world later and directly hit the hot search.

The Zhao family head has thick skin, and he won't die even if he is taught a lesson by the Old Ancestor like this.

But they are different. Maybe with one slap, their souls will be scattered.

Zhao Ji, perhaps to make Yun Shen agree, or perhaps to make a reasonable explanation for his move, or perhaps both, transmitted a passage to Yun Shen.

"Just now, when Young Friend Yun Shen was observing the 'Seven Books of Military Classics', he triggered an abnormality, which attracted the attention of us old guys. We discovered that the 'Seven Books of Military Classics' actually wanted to take you as its master. You are indeed destined for it. Only after obtaining its recognition and binding it to the territory core can you take it into your sea of consciousness and use all its abilities."

Sure enough, this old man was indeed attracted by him.

However, if it were him, it would be impossible to give away his family's foundation for this reason. Zhao Ji and the Zhao family ancestors must have deeper plans, or rather, ideas.

In addition, he had another question: why did he have to transmit this?

Zhao Ji had lived for so many years; how could he not have noticed this point, and added another transmission.

"You must not spread the content of my transmission to you. Once people know that you have obtained the recognition of the 'Seven Books of Military Classics', it may be very troublesome, because only a war lord can bind it and obtain its recognition."

Hearing this, Yun Shen's heart trembled.

Damn, observing a World Rare Object can expose part of my hole cards?

That is to say, now a large group of Zhao family ancestors all know that he is a war lord?

By the way, there are also the other nine people who have not yet walked out of the Secret Pavilion...

Zhao Ji transmitted very thoughtfully, "You don't need to worry about the nine little guys inside; we have our own means to modify their memories."

He hadn't said anything yet, and they had already guessed everything he was thinking. Should he say, he is truly an old monster...

Although those nine people didn't know what the abnormality just now represented, if they went out and talked nonsense, they might still be targeted by people with ulterior motives and expose that he was actually a war lord.

Just by turning his brain, Yun Shen understood what this group of Zhao family ancestors was thinking. Eight out of ten, they were like Zhang Sanfeng, guessing that he was this year's Human Clan's taboo and wanted to come and be his "angel investor."

Before, with Fan Qiuyan by his side, the Zhao family head couldn't probe his reality.

But this group of Zhao family ancestors was different. In their eyes, Fan Qiuyan might just be a stronger ant.

Not to mention that when he was in the Secret Pavilion, Fan Qiuyan couldn't cover for him at all.

Perhaps because the Zhao family has been constantly declining in recent years, the Zhao family ancestors have more courage than Zhang Sanfeng and want to play a big game on him...

As long as he accepts this political marriage, it is equivalent to agreeing to pull the Zhao family onto his warship. From now on, they will be grasshoppers on the same rope.

Yun Shen didn't hesitate for long and finally made a wise decision.

"Then the junior will respectfully obey and thank Old Zhao first."

Just kidding, marrying and sending an Shi Shi-grade World Rare Object—only a fool would refuse.

At the same time, the political marriage can also better bind the Zhao family to himself.

Especially before his identity as a Human Clan's taboo is exposed, he also needs some help.

After hearing Yun Shen agree, Zhao Shuiyun couldn't hold back the joy in her heart at all and wrote all her emotions on her face.

Zhao Yunqin, on the other hand, was like a salted fish that had lost its dream, looking like a funeral.

She was actually married off to a boy she met for the first time. Although from the current perception, he was not bad, it was just that there were beauties like clouds around him, and he had the potential to be a scumbag...

Old Cun Tou transmitted to Zhu Ying, "Young Lady, in the words of you young people, tsundere has already retired from the environment."

Zhu Ying: "..."

Old Cun Tou: "Look, you were too embarrassed to express it, and your peach was picked by someone else, right?"

Zhu Ying: "..."

Old Cun Tou: "Even a strange girl you just met is faster than your progress."

Zhu Ying: "..."
