C17 Xiamu City

Article 17. Xiamu City

Looking at the angry but slightly embarrassed girl fleeing, a pleased smile flashed across Xiao Chunyang's face.

During the past few days of contact, he had more or less understood the character of a certain young girl. Overall, that was a rather old-fashioned and strange character that could be described as old and stubborn.

However, within it, one could fully understand the persistence and resolution that the girl originally had that was even more unshakable than ordinary people.

"She's a person who doesn't understand adaptation. She's slightly pedantic but has a simple personality."

This was Xiao Chunyang's evaluation of a certain girl in the past few days.

Therefore, Xiao Chunyang shamelessly designed a set of plans to deal with this personality. From the beginning when he designed the Talisman of Order to the series of actions just now, all of them made the young girl angry, but she couldn't completely vent it out.

He tried to reason with her and use some seemingly great principles to make the young girl not easily fall out with him.

Whether it was what Xiao Chunyang said before, he would only destroy his conscience and set up the Talisman of Order for the sake of the Xiao Family. It was the same reason why he used all kinds of shameless and normal reasons to ease the anger and indignation in the girl's heart.

In short, no matter how aggrieved and angry the girl was, under the premise that she couldn't point out what Xiao Chunyang had done wrong, her character wouldn't allow her to kill anyone.

"Sigh, I'm so tired. I have to trick a woman. I didn't expect it to be so difficult. Even a simple-minded woman would find it so difficult. It's really hard for those playboys who have stepped on so many ships. I really don't know how they managed to drift freely among so many women with such ease."

Second Young Master Xiao looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

"Caw! Caw! Croak! Croak!"

A crow flew over the top of its head, singing happily as it flew.

The following days, it was as if everything had happened before. In the blink of an eye, another week passed.

It had been a month since he arrived in this world. During this period of time, the Xiao Family had been peaceful, but the outside world was different.

At this moment, in the Xiamu City where the Xiao Family was located.

In the Xiamu City, there were three famous families. These three families were famous for their strength, Summoner. Over the years, they had occupied over seventy percent of the city's financial and other areas.

Among these three families, one of them was the Xiao Family, whose name had once shaken the entire Illusionary Soul Continent.

The other two were the Artes Clan and the Faller Family.

Although these two families were not as old as the Xiao Family, compared to the declining Xiao Family, these two new families, which had been developing for less than 150 years, were much more powerful.

Among them, the Faller Family occupied more than 90% of the casinos and brothels in the city. They were supported and even controlled by the Faller Family.

However, compared to the other Artes Clan, the Faller Family was slightly inferior.

The Artes Clan, among the three big families in Xiamu City, had the shortest time to develop. It was a new family that had been developing for less than a hundred years. However, this new family, which had less than five generations of people, had become the largest in the entire Xiamu City. It was the most powerful family that had almost half of the influence of the entire city.

How could the Ali Stettner family reach such a level in less than a hundred years? The reason was very simple. The predecessor of the Ali Stettner family was also a super large slave trader group!

Slave!

The lowest status in Illusionary Soul Continent, or rather, the lowest status. Most of them were captives in the war, or survivors who had their families destroyed. Of course, most of them were ordinary people who had been swindled by slave traffickers from all over the world!

Illusionary Soul Continent was currently in a transition period between a slave society and a feudal society. Of course, this chaotic society period had already lasted for several thousand years. It had to be said that it was a rather strange development model.

In the Illusionary Soul Continent, what industry was the most profitable?

Gambling? Brothels? Or perhaps the legendary Soul Pill that had those miraculous effects, life and death, flesh and bones?

Wrong! No matter if it was the casino, the brothels, or even those Soul Pill that were usually worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even higher, the profits produced from them were not as profitable as selling slaves!

Selling slaves was practically a lucrative business, or even a profitable business.

Any slave trader was almost as rich as oil. Of course, they were also constantly being cursed and hated by countless people. They even wished they could eat their meat and drink their blood!

And Artes Clan relied on this industry to earn a tremendous amount of wealth in a short few decades and quickly develop the entire family.

At this moment, in the Artes Clan, the current patriarch of the Artes Family was listening to something with a solemn expression. His expression kept changing.

"Is the news reliable?"

"It's absolutely reliable. Lord patriarch, this is a good opportunity!"

There were two people in the room. The leader was an old man in his sixties. His white hair showed that he was quite old. His aura was like that of an ordinary person. He did not look like a devil who controlled countless slave traders with one hand. Instead, he looked like an old grandpa next door.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary old man was the behind-the-scenes giant who controlled the entire Artes Family? Moreover, he was a powerful Summoner whose soul power had reached the Earth Grade!

Utrecht? In the Artes, the one who rarely showed himself was a powerful Summoner with Earth Grade soul power!

In front of him was a middle-aged man in his thirties. There was a trace of fear on his face, and he was standing at the side with a respectful expression.

"It seems like the Duanmu Family has finally given up on the Xiao Family. This is normal. Actually, they should have made such a decision three years ago. Humph! Humph! It seems like even that old ghost from the Duanmu Family has finally given up?!"

" This matter... " The middle-aged man felt a little awkward. After considering his words for a moment, he said. "According to my investigation, the person from the Duanmu Family is actually not clear about this matter. It was the princess of the Duanmu Family who did it on her own."

"What do you know!"

Utrecht sneered, "Do you really think it was the little girl from Duanmu Family who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth doing it on her own? If it wasn't for the tacit consent of the leader of the Duanmu Family, no matter how much she was favoured, the Duanmu Family would never allow her to do such a thing."

"Besides, you said that this time, among the people of the Duanmu Family, Duanmu Bote? Humph! Although that Duanmu Bote wasn't a direct descendant of the Duanmu Family, he was still an elder. Even if the young lady of the Duanmu Family doesn't understand the affairs of the world, don't tell me he doesn't?"

The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, and he asked with a surprised expression," Could it be that the Duanmu Family did this on purpose? Duanmu Yunrou was only used? "

"It's not really used, but that little girl was tricked by her own family. In terms of the result, they each took what they needed. However, in the end, it was the intention of that old ghost from the Duanmu Family. It was still the younger generation's personal decision. This old man does not dare to confirm this."

"Patriarch, what's the difference? Now that things had turned out this way, it was obvious that the friendship between the Duanmu Family and the Xiao Family had come to an end. In the future, the Duanmu Family would never stand up for the Xiao Family, and the Xiao Family would never tolerate it either. Given the personalities of the people of the Xiao Family, this time, the Duanmu Family has given them a fierce slap in the face!"

"Of course there is a difference! If the Duanmu Family's action this time was agreed or tacitly approved by the old ghost Duanmu, then the Duanmu Family and the Xiao Family would be cut in half. There was no way they could continue to form an alliance. However, if this was only the action and intention of the younger generation of the old ghost Duanmu, then it would be different. "

Utrecht rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before he spoke again. " En, pass down the order to have people pay close attention to the recent reactions of the Xiao Family and the Duanmu Family. Especially the Duanmu Family. Report to them immediately if there are any abnormalities! "

"Yes!"

After the middle-aged man left, Utrecht walked around the room a few times. It was as if there was something very important that he could not make a decision immediately. That was why he was wandering around the room without any clues.

"Should I make a move or not? Although Duanmu Family and Xiao Family have no future, that old Duanmu..."

Suddenly, there was a playful sound coming from outside.

Utrecht's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Humph! Humph! Regardless of whether the old ghost Duanmu was involved in this incident or not, the relationship between the Xiao Family and the Duanmu Family would definitely be broken. En, for the sake of being cautious, let this old man probe you first. Let's see how the Xiao Family is going to react before making any further plans!"

"Xiao Family, all these years, all of you have been too stable."

A conspiracy against the Xiao Family was slowly taking shape, but neither Xiao Zhenshan nor Xiao Chunyang noticed it.

"Finally, we are out! These days, I almost got bored out of my mind!"

Standing on a street that was bustling with people in Xiamu City, Xiao Chunyang stretched his back.

Today, he did not practice the painful swinging of his sword. Instead, he left Xiao Family and went to Xiamu City.

There was no other reason. Xiao Zhenshan had some matters to attend to, and the Xiao Family had encountered some problems in a market in Xiamu City. They needed someone from the Xiao Family who could talk to them to solve them.

Therefore, Xiao Chunyang, who had been bored to death a long time ago, took the initiative to volunteer.

As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings. Now that Xiao Zhenshan wasn't here, Xiao Chunyang was the boss of Xiao Family. Who would dare to stop him?

After that, it became like this. Xiao Chunyang was dressed in simple casual clothes, and he brought a young girl out of the main gate of the Xiao Family.

Perhaps it was because of the scar on his face, or perhaps it was because Xiao Chunyang kept swinging his sword with all his might during this period of time. His body became bigger and bigger. His skin also turned from the original tender white. Grow a little bronze-colored. In addition to his ordinary attire, no one had noticed him along the way. This was the infamous Second Young Master of Xiao Family of Xiamu City.

However, along the way, the rate of him turning back was still very high. However, it wasn't because of him, but because of a young girl following closely behind him.
