<h4>Chapter 1799: Chapter 1792: Qiu Family’s All-Out Gamble</h4>


    Thinking of this, Qiu Zhengfeng’s face flickered with an unpredictable expression. Befriending Lu Tianxing could mean one step to Heaven or one step to Hell. If Lu Tianxing doesn’t fall, the Qiu Family might undoubtedly be a top family in China in the future. But if anything happens to Lu Tianxing, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Qiu Family.


    Seeing his grandfather’s changing expression, Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath, nning to add fuel to the fire by saying, "Grandfather, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. This is the best opportunity for our Qiu Family to rise. If we miss this chance, our family may never have the opportunity to rise again in this lifetime."


    "Moreover, grandfather, you’ve seen how terrifying the forces that destroyed the Sun Family are. Furthermore, there are rumors that the two Hall Masters of Yama Pce are women and also Lu Tianxing’s women. Do you think they will leave the Qiu Family alone after destroying the Sun Family? Even if Lu Tianxing prevents them from touching our Qiu Family, don’t forget the rulesing from Yama Pce. As long as you submit, you can annex any forces, and they won’t care. We have some ties with Lu Tianxing, but grandfather, do you think these ties are useful?"


    Listening to Qiu Tianrui’s relentless words, Qiu Zhengfeng fell silent once more.


    Ties!


    To these two words, Qiu Zhengfeng sneerspletely. In the world of families, the word "ties" is ridiculous; for the sake of profit, brothers turn against each other, fathers and sons be enemies—such things are toomon. Perhaps Lu Tianxing wouldn’t touch the Qiu Family, but what about the people Yama Pce sends to Qin Ind in the future? Will they leave the Qiu Family alone? Will they allow the Qiu Family to sleep peacefully right under their noses? Even if they don’t act against the Qiu Family for now, what about the future? Who can guarantee it?


    After all, there’s a saying: How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed?


    After a long pause, Qiu Zhengfeng slowly exhaled a mouthful of impure air and said to Qiu Tianrui, "Tian Rui, since you’ve decided, then go ahead and do it! Your grandfather fully supports you."


    Ultimately, Qiu Zhengfeng decided to agree to Qiu Tianrui’s n. As the saying goes, "one step to Heaven, one step to Hell," life is nothing but a gamble. If you win, you rise to the top; if you lose, you’re left with nothing. Since Qiu Tianrui wants to gamble this time, he’ll join his grandson in the bet. After all, the future of the Qiu Family will be in Qiu Tianrui’s hands. If they win the bet and Lu Tianxing doesn’t die, the Qiu Family will be safe and sound.


    "Grandfather, I know what to do."


    A glint appeared on Qiu Tianrui’s face. He was already somewhat friends with Lu Tianxing, and he understood Lu Tianxing’s character. Only by befriending Lu Tianxing could the Qiu Family be at ease.


    Moreover, the feeling Lu Tianxing gave him was terrifying, even more frightening than the feeling he had when he met Cangwu in a happenstance years ago. Additionally, Lu Tianxing’s words to Sun Yaoyang back thenpletely scared him. If the Qiu Family doesn’t want to go down the same path as the Sun Family, the best way would be to stand on the same line with Lu Tianxing and take a bold step.


    Meanwhile, while Qiu Tianrui was conversing with his grandfather, far away in Beijing, Sima Lingyun also arrived at his mentor Ji Xingyun’s residence, a familiar journey to the backyard.


    "Master."


    Seeing Ji Xingyun, Sima Lingyun respectfully greeted him.


    At this moment, Sima Lingyun no longer had any sharp Sword Intent on him. At first nce, he was indistinguishable from an ordinary person, with no imposing demeanor. But when you looked closely at him, he gave off a feeling of returning to simplicity.


    "Lingyun, you’ve finally broken through to the middle-stage mythical." Ji Xingyun lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at Sima Lingyun.


    "I have to thank you, Master. If you hadn’t taught me the Original Sword Intent, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the middle-stage mythical in a few years at least." Sima Lingyun respectfully said to Ji Xingyun.


    "You’re my disciple. I don’t want my disciple to lose to the grandsons of Lu Tiankuang and Jiang Liufeng, those two old guys."


    Ji Xingyun’s tone was somewhat filled with resentment, seeming quite displeased.


    Sima Lingyun looked at his master’s expression, feeling a sense of helplessness. He knew very well why his master seemed so displeased talking about these two people. Those two old masters were good friends of his master, but neither was a pushover. Their talent for causing trouble was unparalleled, always requiring his master to clean up their messes. How could it not drive a person crazy?


    Moreover, Sima Lingyunpletely shared his master’s sentiments. Ever since he met Lu Tianxing, it seemed like he was constantly cleaning up after him. To this day, Sima Lingyun even thought about consulting a fortune teller to see if the Lu Family was some kind of bane to the Yanhuang Group’s leaders, as every generation seemed to be endlessly troubled by the Lu Family, yet helpless against it.


    "Right, Lingyun, how is the matter regarding consolidating the forces that Lu Family’s kid has abroad?" Ji Xingyun asked Sima Lingyun again.


    "Almost all consolidated."


    Sima Lingyun slowly responded, with a tinge of admiration on his face, "I must say, the Netherworld Mercenary Corps trained by the Third Young Master of the Lu Family is terrifying. They’re basically all elites. Although their strength varies, there’s no denying these individuals are Martial Artists who’ve fought their way out of the jaws of death. In life-and-death battles, even if their strength is a level lower, they can challenge higher levels. Especially the top tenmanders of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps are incredibly powerful. Given time, they will undoubtedly be the backbone of the Yanhuang Group."


    Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, Ji Xingyun nodded and said, "These are entrusted to you by the Lu Family’s kid, as payback for the times you’ve helped him. You should treat them well; these people are elite members of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps and the most important future force of the Yanhuang Group. Also, waste no time in clearing out all the descendants of various families and resetting assessments."


    "Master, I know how to handle this."


    Sima Lingyun solemnly nodded. Though the addition of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps’ members has injected a strong boost into the Yanhuang Group, it has nheless decayed quite a bit, requiring root-level restoration. This involves many issues and must be managed slowly.


    "As long as you’re aware, I won’t go on about it."


    Ji Xingyun nced at Sima Lingyun without saying much more, instead switching to another topic: "Lingyun, I called you here this time mainly because of a matter concerning Qin Ind. I need you to go there once."


    "Go to Qin Ind?"


    Hearing Ji Xingyun’s words, Sima Lingyun was slightly puzzled, not quite understanding his master’s intention.
