Chapter 1950: Discussing the Dao at the Door

~7 min read 1,236 words

Discussing the Dao at the door is a very impolite act in the Divine Realm.

In plain terms, it is called 【Challenging at the Door】.

Using one's own martial power to overwhelm others.

But the advantage is, this is not overwhelming others by realm.

For example, the current Long family in Tianfeng City is at its peak; if they so blatantly dispatch a Divine Lord realm expert to bully a tiny two-star sect, it would give people grounds for criticism.

This would greatly affect the Deputy City Lord's reputation.

But sending Long Yutai to discuss the Dao at the door is different.

I am overwhelming you with martial power, but this is a contest of the same realm.

In the Divine Realm, martial power is supreme.

If you cannot defeat an opponent of the same realm, it will not greatly affect the Long family's reputation.

"Old Seventeen, come here..."

The Long family's ancestor, Long Zhiduo, waved his hand at Long Yutai on the stage.

Long Yutai quickly came before the family head.

"Ancestor..." he clasped his hands, his face full of respect.

"Hmm... not bad..." Long Zhiduo looked at Long Yutai, smiling: "There is a matter that needs you to do!"

"There is a He family on Tianze Mountain, do you know of it?"

"I know!" Long Yutai's face darkened slightly: "Damn it, a mere two-star clan, if not for the elders stopping me, I would have gone to exterminate them long ago!"

"Ignorant thing!"

"Ah..." the ancestor said: "Unacceptable, unacceptable... Old Seventeen, for families like ours rooted in Tianfeng City, we cannot solve problems only with violence!"

"We must also care about our reputation!"

"Yes, Ancestor, I understand!" Long Yutai quickly replied.

The ancestor then said: "However, this He family does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, and indeed they need to be shown some color!"

"Like this: the family sends you there, to go to the He family to discuss the Dao at the door!"

"Ah?" Long Yutai, hearing the ancestor say this, was instantly overjoyed: "Ancestor, really?"

"Great... I will definitely make the He family pay the price!"

"Ah... ah ah ah... don't rush, I, the old man, haven't finished speaking yet!" The Long family ancestor laughed: "Crushing ants is easy, but it's also easy to get splashed with dirty water!"

"Whether that He family lives or dies, is exterminated or not, is not important!"

"After you go there, do not kill, only make them submit wholeheartedly!"

"If you can make their whole clan submit to our Long family, that's better; if they do not submit, they should at least promise never to build ships again!"

The matter of the He family building ships, in the Long family's eyes, is not merely about profit.

It involves face.

Knowing we Long family are in the shipbuilding business, you still come after us?

This shows you do not put our Long family in your eyes!

"Good... I will definitely complete the mission!" Long Yutai said confidently.

The ancestor said: "Fubo Daoist, you accompany Old Seventeen this time; I am still uneasy letting him go alone!"

"After all, the other side's family is not just one Divine Spirit realm cultivator!"

"Good!" Fubo Shenjun agreed.

"Are the Long family people here?"

Su Zhenzhen frowned, looking at the old schemer.

"Yes yes yes..." Old Diao said solemnly: "Senior Yusi secretly set up a great formation at our He Clan Mountain Gate that can discern others' cultivation!"

"I saw that there were two people coming: one is Divine Spirit realm seventh layer, one is Divine Lord realm sixth layer!"

"Divine Lord, that is a mid-level Divine Lord!"

"Madam, I dare not neglect, I have already brought them to our guest hall!"

Su Zhenzhen nodded: "I know, I will go now!"

"They came to us, likely for the shipbuilding matter!"

"Um..." Su Zhenzhen said: "You see, should we call Senior Yusi over?"

"Good!" Su Zhenzhen said: "You go call Senior Yusi, and by the way, call your great uncle too, let him come with me!"

After a dozen breaths, Yusi and Old Cao came, following behind Su Zhenzhen, to the He family's guest hall.

In the guest hall, two people were seated.

One was a middle-aged man, tall and sturdy, with black hair having a strand of white falling down, appearing very graceful.

Unfortunately, his appearance is hard to describe.

The other is a young man, Long Yutai.

Upon seeing Su Zhenzhen, whether Long Yutai or Fubo Daoist, they couldn't help but brighten: what an alluring woman!

"He Clan head Su Zhenzhen, I have met the two of you!" Su Zhenzhen clasped her hands to Fubo Daoist: "I have met you, senior, you should be of Divine Lord realm, right?"

"Hmm!" Fubo Daoist did not rise, but sat motionless like a mountain, his Divine Sense merely sweeping lightly over her.

He found Su Zhenzhen to be only Divine Spirit realm second layer.

Old Cao is Divine Spirit realm third layer.

As for Yusi, her cultivation is unfathomable; Fubo Daoist looked but could not discern her cultivation.

But Fubo did not pay too much attention to it.

What could a mere servant girl possibly matter?

Now I can't see her cultivation; I reckon this woman must be wearing some anti-spying garment.

The subsequent situation seems to have confirmed Fu Bo's speculation.

Su Zhenzhen took her seat at the head position.

Old Cao sat opposite Fu Bo and Long Yutai.

And that servant girl stood behind Su Zhenzhen, with a respectful expression.

"Elder of the Long family, what brings you here? Do you have any advice to offer?" Su Zhenzhen asked, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmph..." Fu Bo coldly snorted: "You know full well in your heart, so why bother asking me?"

Su Zhenzhen said: "Please, senior, enlighten us!"

Fu Bo also couldn't be bothered with idle talk, saying: "We came this time precisely for your He family's shipbuilding affair!"

"The shipbuilding trade in Tianfeng City was initially only undertaken by our Long family, yet you barged in so rudely—doesn't that seem rather impolite?"

Not giving Su Zhenzhen a chance to speak, Fu Bo stroked the stray white hair before him and continued: "Well then, this time we came to engage in a discourse on the Dao!"

"Rest assured, I, the old man, will not bully the small with the great!"

"This is our Long family's junior, Long Yutai, whose cultivation is at the seventh layer of the Spirit Realm!"

"This time, he will represent our Long family in challenging your He family's various Spirit Realm cultivators!"

"All karmic debts shall be settled by victory or defeat!"

"If someone from your He family defeats our Long family, then henceforth you may act as you wish, and our Long family will pursue no further action!"

"But if our Long family wins, we hope you will also agree to our terms!"

"This..." Su Zhenzhen hesitated slightly, then said: "Please, senior, tell us your terms."

"Very simple, just one point!"

Fu Bo said: "Namely, that your He family shall permanently withdraw from the shipbuilding trade, and furthermore, all of your He family's shipbuilding-related artifact refiners shall be handed over to our Long family!"

"How about it?"

On this side, Su Zhenzhen had not yet spoken when Long Yutai suddenly said: "No... add one more thing!"

"If I win, Lady must also return with me to the Long family to serve as my concubine!"
