A Troublesome Peach Blossom
Fung Ya-hsien and Long Yu were well aware of this. The Dugu Family was not an ordinary power; it was the number one power in the White Cloud Continent.
All matters of a large power were decided by the Patriarch. Now that the Dugu Family did not have a Patriarch, even if the Patriarch was in charge, there would still be many who would disobey.
Now that the competition was over, many powers were taking advantage of this opportunity to encroach on the Dugu Family's businesses, or to cooperate with the Dugu Family for benefits.
Whether the Dugu Family could survive or not, it would not be long before they found out.
"To be honest, the Dugu Shun was a very smart person in the past.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit firmly in the position of the Dugu Family's Patriarch for so long. Dugu Shi and Dugu Chi were never able to pull him down.
Perhaps it was because his desire for power grew, making him unsatisfied with the position of the Dugu Family's Patriarch.
After being in a high position for so long, he became arrogant and thought that all his schemes would succeed. "
"Master, from the way the Dugu Shun handled things, he thought of things very simply."
Fung Ya-hsien said, "From his point of view, it would be easy for him to deal with anyone in the Heavenly Spirit Continent. It all depends on whether he is willing to make a move.
Peaceful days will make people relax, and they will not be as vigilant as before. They will also not be as thoughtful as before. "
"As the old saying goes, one is born in hardship and dies in peace." Long Yu continued, "This saying describes the Dugu Shun perfectly.
Although the situation in the White Cloud Continent is tense, there has not been a real war.
The Dugu Shun has been the Dugu Family's Patriarch for so many years, and he has gradually settled down. It is not strange that he has lost his intelligence and mind. "
"Indeed."
Barisu said, "Therefore, no matter when, even in times of peace, one cannot be completely at ease. Unless one can truly control everything and have someone to trust."
"The matter of the Dugu Shun has come to an end. The Dugu Family will not choose a Patriarch for the time being."
Fung Ya-hsien and Long Yu looked at each other.
"Master, what is the Dugu Family planning to do?
If they do not choose a Patriarch, who will manage the Dugu Family's affairs? "she asked.
"I told you before that if Dugu Li was the head of the Dugu family, the Dugu family wouldn't be any weaker than my Baili family," said Baili Xiu. "Unfortunately, Dugu Li is an ancestor. It's impossible for him to become the head of the family.
The Second Patriarch of the City, the Dugu Family's Patriarch, and the Chi Family Patriarch. both, the Dugu Family, the of the Two Family, and Two disliked each each Family's Patriarch, Chi Chi Of the Family's Mind.
"Thus, he thought of a compromise. The Dugu Family would be managed by the three elders for the time being.
Dugu and Dugu didn't see eye to eye. The two of them wouldn't allow each other's forces to grow.
Dugu Cheng is a centrist, and he's sincerely thinking for the Dugu Family. He's the second elder, and he has a lot of power in his hands. "
"The best solution for the Dugu Family is for the three Elders to keep each other in check. It won't do in the long run.
However, unless Dugu Li abolishes Dugu Shi and Dugu Chi and elects two other elders, sooner or later Dugu Shi and Dugu Chi will fight for the position of Patriarch. "
"Considering the Dugu Family's current situation, this is indeed a good idea."
Long Yu learned a lot, "We don't have to worry about the Dugu Family for the time being. If other forces make a move, we'll just have to give the Dugu Family some trouble from time to time."
"The enemy of Long Yu and I is the Dugu Shun. As for the Dugu Family, it's because of the Dugu Shun."
Fung Ya-hsien said, "Even if the Dugu Shun doesn't involve the Dugu Family, sooner or later, the White Cloud Continent will have a dispute. My Baili Family will also fight with the Dugu Family."
"That's the reason."
The dispute on the White Cloud Continent was about to start. "The Dugu Family only has these kinds of things. The other internal conflicts are just probing by Dugu Shi and Dugu Chi. First, it's to test each other, and second, it's to test the Dugu Li's bottom line. It won't cause much of a stir."
Fung Ya-hsien and Long Yu nodded in understanding. Dugu Shi and Dugu Chi weren't fools. They wouldn't fight for the position of Patriarch when the Dugu Family was in danger.
Dugu Shi and Dugu Chi both understood that without the Dugu Family, they would have nothing.
"As for the Shangguan Family …" Barisu teased with a smile, "Long Yu, you're really a femme fatale.
My disciple is so beautiful, yet she didn't attract a peach blossom. You, on the other hand, attracted a troublesome peach blossom. "
Long Yu's scalp went numb. He looked at Fung Ya-hsien with a fawning smile, "Wife, I swear to Heaven and Earth that it has nothing to do with me. I don't even know who it is."
Fung Ya-hsien nodded and said with a smile, "The washboard is waiting for you."
Long Yu: "… Yes, wife."
So be it. It's better than being punished to sleep in the study or in the guest room.
Barisu raised his eyebrows. So there was this kind of punishment. The washboard, huh …
"Master, please continue." She knew who Long Yu's peach blossom was. She had to punish Long Yu so that he wouldn't be complacent.
"After I transmitted my voice to Shangguan Wan, she went to Shangguan Menghan."
Barisu said, "Shangguan Menghan and Shangguan Xia are both Long Yu's peach blossoms. Shangguan Menghan really likes Long Yu, while Shangguan Xia probably wants to use Long Yu to rise above others."
Long Yu frowned in disgust.
"It's a pity that Shangguan Xia forgot one thing. If Long Yu really separated from me, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Baili Family anymore."
Fung Ya-hsien's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Shangguan Xia, who was blinded by power, thought that she could become the young madam of the Baili Family by marrying Long Yu.
If Long Yu really left the Baili Family, no power in the White Cloud Continent would dare to take him in. "
Long Yu's face darkened, "Wife, can you not make such an impossible assumption?
I definitely won't be involved with Shangguan Xia and Shangguan Menghan. "
"I'm saying that Shangguan Xia is stupid."
Fung Ya-hsien raised her hand and gently patted Long Yu's head, "I know that you're disgusted. I'll make you something delicious to comfort you tonight."
Long Yu was speechless.
He didn't want this kind of comfort.
Forget it, he'd fight for it tonight.
"Shangguan Xia really didn't see through this. She thought that Long Yu could become the young master of the Baili Family."
Barisu sneered. His disciple was the true young master of the Baili Family. Long Yu was just an accessory, "Let's not talk about this first. We can discuss this slowly."
"The reason why Shangguan Xia was able to escape from the Shangguan Family was because she used almost all of her spies in the Shangguan Family over the years. She escaped by disguising herself.
Before she left, she wrote a letter to Shangguan Menghan to sow discord between Shangguan Menghan and Shangguan Wan.
Under Shangguan Wan's questioning, Shangguan Menghan was dissatisfied and angry. She even blamed Shangguan Wan and only knew how to fight for justice for Shangguan Xia. "
