Chapter 1804

He Pingsheng nodded at Su Zhenzhen, then smiled slightly and said: "Su Zhenzhen is about to become the head of the He family. After refining the Family Founding Order, she can obtain the family's faith power!"

"Do you all agree?"

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone had no objections.

He Pingsheng handed the Family Founding Order to Su Zhenzhen and said: "Fine, from today on, you don't need to cultivate either, participate in managing family affairs together, this faith power will provide you with a steady stream of energy!"

Su Zhenzhen became the head of the He family.

Actually, everyone could accept Su Zhenzhen becoming the family head, both psychologically and formally.

Although Su Zhenzhen was not He Pingsheng's legal wife, she was the first to give birth to He Pingsheng's child.

He Tianya also gained absolute prestige and respect among the second-generation disciples of the He family.

"Junior Brother!" Lian Nihong gave He Pingsheng several sets of arrays and said: "The arrays you asked me to engrave, I have already finished!"

"Two sets of Divine Prohibition Arrays, two sets of Warning Arrays!"

"They are all second-tier Divine Arrays!"

"You can set them up as you please!"

He Pingsheng took the arrays, gave the materials for two sets of defensive arrays to Lian Nihong, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Qiao Shijie, please engrave two more sets of defensive arrays, and later they will serve as our family's mountain-protecting array!"

"Hehe..." Lian Nihong rolled her eyes at him and said: "You really treat this old lady as a servant of your He family!"

"I've been in your house for these few years, either drawing talismans for you or refining arrays for you!"

"After this is done, are you going to let me do alchemy!"

He Pingsheng said: "After this is done, Qiao Shijie can go into seclusion with peace of mind. Later, I will provide the Calm Spirit Pills, and I will make them all top-tier for you!"

"Hmm... Old Cao can do it!"

"That's more like it!" Although Lian Nihong rolled her eyes, she still took the array materials.

"Master... Master, are you there?" Just at this moment, an old voice suddenly came from outside the hall, somewhat urgent.

He Pingsheng looked around.

Old Cao wasn't here, and Li Canghai wasn't here either.

There was no one who could handle the facade.

He could only go out himself.

"You all stay here and don't go out, I'll go out and see what's going on!" He Pingsheng walked out of the hall hurriedly.

But he saw an old man with white hair and a black Daoist robe standing respectfully outside the door.

He Pingsheng walked up to the old man and asked: "Who are you?"

The He family recruited over a hundred disciples, and He Pingsheng almost didn't know any of them!

"Reporting to Young Master..." The old man raised his head with a smile and said: "This old man's surname is Diao, I am a distant relative of Senior Cao, I came here specifically to guard the He family's mountain gate, responsible for warning and communication affairs!"

"Young Master, you can just call me Old Diao!"

Old Diao?

He Pingsheng didn't care about these, he said: "Do you know me?"

"I do!" Old Diao said with a smile: "Senior Cao showed us disciples your portrait long ago, so I know you!"

"Fine!" He Pingsheng said: "What happened?"

Old Diao's expression instantly became serious: "It's people from the Zhongxing family who have come!"

"I guess, it's nothing good!"

"Young Master, should I call them in or..."

Old Diao sought He Pingsheng's opinion.

He Pingsheng said: "No need to call them in, I'll go meet them!"

The Zhongxing family, this is also a family.

And it's a three-star family.

They are attached to the four-star Lu family above, and control dozens of two-star families below.

Theoretically speaking, this is also the He family's superior family.

The He family receives their care, and pays thirty thousand Divine Gold in tribute every year to buy peace.

Coming over this time, He Pingsheng guessed it was likely to collect the tribute.

"Fine... Young Master, please follow me!"

This Old Diao's cultivation is at the eighth layer of the Divine General Stage, not low.

The He family's territory isn't very large, He Pingsheng took Old Diao all the way to the mountain gate and landed, it only took a few breaths.

Outside the mountain gate is an outer hall.

The four people from the Zhongxing family were all sitting steadily in the outer hall, and they were sitting in the main seats.

After He Pingsheng entered, they neither stood up nor gave up their seats, their attitude was very arrogant and aggressive.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense swept over, seeing that the cultivation of these few people was also at the Divine General Stage, about between the fifth and tenth layers.

"Hahaha..." One of them seemed to feel He Pingsheng's spiritual sense sweep, and laughed: "You, a third-layer one, can you scan clearly?"

"How about it, you are the head of the He family?"

"No!" He Pingsheng shook his head and said: "Old Cao and Li Canghai are both not at home, today I happen to be able to make the call!"

"I don't know what instructions the Zhongxing family has for coming here this time?"

"Instructions are not needed!" One of the leaders wearing a black Daoist robe with a bright green hat on his head stood up from his seat, walked slowly towards He Pingsheng, and said while walking: "According to the usual practice, it's time to pay the tribute!"

"We brothers have come specifically to collect the tribute!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Fine... as it should be..."

As he spoke, he took out the nameplate from his waist.

Thirty thousand a year, this has been paid for several years.

And it's not just his He family that pays, the other two-star families all have to pay, and this is also the rule of the entire Divine Realm.

He Pingsheng's current strength didn't have the ability to break the rules, so he could only bite the bullet and pay honestly.

"Wait..." The black-clothed man waved his hand at He Pingsheng and said: "Don't be in a hurry... let me make it clear to you!"

"Your He family's tribute will be changed starting this year!"

"Before, it was the same as others, thirty thousand a year!"

"But this year is different..."

"Your family, this year you have to pay one million!"

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice changed: "One million?"

"Why is that?"

"I don't know!" The man shook his head: "This wasn't set by me, but by the higher-ups!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Then may I ask, have all the two-star families increased, or has only our He family's tribute increased?"

The black-clothed man said: "I do know this, only your He family's tribute has increased!"

"Hehehe... although I don't know the specific reason, but..."

"I feel that Li Canghai and Old Cao of your family are still okay in their conduct, and they have taken care of everything that needs to be taken care of!"

"Unfortunately, it's just that your old He family is too good at making money!"

"Then there's no way..."

"You earn more, so you pay more!"

"This... hehehehe..."

"Alright... we came this time just to notify you about the price increase, not that we must collect it!"

"If you have other ways, you can consider it!"

"But at the latest, you must pay the tribute for this year within five days!"

"Brothers, let's go!"
