Chapter 95

"Um, good, very good, Qiuer, you did well, you have a mind, you have judgment! Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles! From this, it seems that this group is a bunch of declining minor families who have had a stroke of luck, now relying on the Lord of Wushuang City, and also having the Li family as a support. Qiuer, what do you plan to do?" Dou Xuehun turned his gaze to Dou Xuanqiu, his face showing a hint of satisfaction.

"Qiuer has a plan, but I hope to get Grandfather's approval. You have keen eyes, help Qiuer see if this plan is feasible!" Dou Xuanqiu subtly flattered Dou Xuehun.

"Haha, good, go ahead and speak!" Dou Xuehun nodded, indicating for Dou Xuanqiu to continue.

"Grandfather, do you remember the Seven Absolute Orders?" Dou Xuanqiu's voice was low, but everyone seemed to be greatly shocked, their faces changing dramatically! Everyone except Dou Xuehun and Dou Canghai instantly started to chatter.

"Go on!" The three steady and powerful words instantly silenced the noisy hall, Dou Xuehun's eyes turned pale green as he looked at Dou Xuanqiu below.

"Currently, our Dou family and the Feng family can jointly issue a Seven Absolute Order. First, if Lin Zheng and his group have a powerful backing, then someone will definitely come to find us. We can then take the opportunity to give the Seven Absolute Order to Lin Zheng. Since they have a powerful backing and don't want others to know, our Seven Absolute Order can be a great gift, bringing great convenience to Lin Zheng and his group, and we can also connect with the powerful backing behind Lin Zheng. If Lin Zheng and his group don't have this backing, first, Lin Zheng and his group won't dare to accept the Seven Absolute Order, and we can effortlessly obtain all the luck Lin Zheng has gained, causing the Li family's reputation to plummet, and then swallow the Li family; second, if Lin Zheng and his group accept the Seven Absolute Order, we can directly eliminate Lin Zheng and his group, greatly enhancing our reputation in Zeshui City. This time, all the forces participating in the Seven Heroes Competition will be swallowed by our two families, and our influence in Zeshui City can even rival the City Lord's Mansion. The Bai family will no longer be our match and can only be our vassal! The City Lord's Mansion is just a nominal representative of those people. As long as our Dou family has the strength, we can also compete for the position of City Lord! The Dou family has been patient for long enough, it's time to stir up the stagnant waters of Zeshui City!" Dou Xuanqiu's eyes shone with a brilliant light, and a wild and unrestrained nature could no longer be suppressed!

"Haha! Good! Very good! I have always seen great potential in you, Qiuer, you have a mind, patience, and the ability to endure, and your methods are ruthless!" Dou Xuehun laughed heartily, very satisfied with Dou Xuanqiu's proposal. After the laughter, Dou Xuehun looked at the ceiling of the hall and muttered, "Yes, it's time for the sky of Zeshui to change!"

"Good! Qiuer, follow me to the Feng family, Canghai, prepare yourself!" Dou Xuehun flashed, his long sleeves sweeping up Dou Xuanqiu, and they disappeared before everyone's eyes. Although Dou Xuehun didn't finish his words, Dou Canghai already understood what preparations needed to be made. Dou Canghai stood up from his seat, walked a few steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said, "Secretly recall all the Dou family warriors outside, and have someone compile a list of all the forces participating in the Seven Heroes Competition. At the same time, secretly attack the Li family's businesses under the Dou family's control, and put the Dou family on full alert!"

"Comply with the head of the family's order!" Everyone responded loudly, knowing that this was a matter of life and death, and whether they would enjoy prosperity or fall into ruin depended on this.

At the Feng family's hall in Zeshui City, which was heavily guarded, two figures suddenly appeared before the guards' shocked eyes. What was even more terrifying was that no one could make a sound, only opening their mouths wide in shock. One of the figures, an old man, suddenly spoke, "Tsk, who would have thought the old madman would become so refined? Old friend, since you're here, why don't you come out and meet us?"

"Humph!" A light shout, and the guards suddenly felt the strange sensation on their bodies disappear, and they instantly surrounded the two figures.

"Stand down, I didn't expect this matter to even involve you. Come in and talk!" A hoarse and muddled voice came from inside the hall, and the guards slowly withdrew. The two figures were none other than Dou Xuehun and Dou Xuanqiu, who walked into the Feng family's hall one after the other. Just like at the Dou family, the Feng family's people were also gathered in the hall, likely discussing the matter of Lin Zheng and the Li family! A withered old man sat on the Feng family's hall, dressed in white, his face covered in wrinkles, none other than the previous head of the Feng family, Feng Luan Kong!

"Old madman, you know I always speak my mind. Clear out the irrelevant people!" Dou Xuehun stood in the center of the hall, casually pulling a chair to sit down, facing Feng Luan Kong directly.

"Qingkong, you few stay, the rest, stand down!" The hoarse voice sounded again, and the irrelevant people quickly left.

"Speak! What's the matter?"

"Are you willing to do something big?" Dou Xuehun spoke word by word, his voice not loud, but the Feng family's faces became serious, some happy, some worried. After Dou Xuehun finished speaking, Feng Luan Kong was silent for a long time before saying, "Old Blood, how confident are you?"

"Nine out of ten, do you think Lin Zheng and his group can survive the Seven Absolute Order?" Dou Xuehun said disdainfully.

"Are you up to something?" Feng Luan Kong looked at Dou Xuehun with a sidelong glance.

"Where did your madness go? Are you getting old, worrying too much?"

"Haha, by the time the sun rises tomorrow, I will give you an answer!" Feng Luan Kong's white hair suddenly danced without wind, a proud and mad fighting spirit bursting forth!

"Haha, that's the spirit! I'll wait for your news at the Dou family. Also, your young man is quite good, very good!" Dou Xuehun suddenly pointed at Feng Yun Kong, and then disappeared from the Dou family's hall with Dou Xuanqiu.

After Dou Xuehun left, Feng Luan Kong reined in his wild fighting spirit, leaning back in his chair in silence. After a long time, Feng Luan Kong opened his eyes and asked Feng Yun Kong, who was sitting below, "Yunkong, what do you think?"

"Grandfather, to put it simply, what the old head of the Dou family wants is not only to restore his reputation but also to aim for the City Lord's seat! This is his opportunity, and it's also our opportunity! Since only the Feng and Dou families can issue the Seven Absolute Order, this undoubtedly means the two families are on the same boat, sharing both glory and disgrace! However, the benefits are unprecedented. Once the Bai and Li families are swallowed, our influence can almost rival the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, almost all the forces affiliated with Zeshui City have come for the Seven Heroes Competition. As long as we have enough influence, the true forces behind Zeshui City won't do anything to us. At that time, the City Lord's seat can also be considered! I believe the Dou family's plan is the same!" Feng Yun Kong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but this expression quickly disappeared, as if he was suppressing something.

"Good! Then it's settled. I also want to see the competition between you and Dou Xuanqiu, to see which of the next generation of the Feng family is more outstanding, or if the Dou family's young man is more outstanding! Yunkong, you are in charge of this! Don't let us down!" After saying this, Feng Luan Kong flashed and disappeared from the hall.

As the night fell and the lights came on, Lin Zheng and his group came to the hall to have dinner with the Li family. The rogue wolf, who had been staggering and drunk, returned to his room and lay down. Lin Zheng and his group were all black-faced, realizing that this guy had been drinking in the kitchen all along!

"Hey! Brother-in-law is here!" Before they even reached the hall, a crisp voice sounded, and then a cute little girl ran out from the hall, jumping into Lin Zheng's arms. Lin Zheng quickly squatted down to catch her, then lifted her up and spun her around in the air. The little girl laughed with a string of silver bells in the air.

The little girl who ran over was Li Ruoshui's younger sister, Li Ruofei. She looked a bit like Li Ruoshui, which made Lin Zheng think of Li Ruoshui's childhood, so he was especially close to this little girl. Although they had only stayed at the Li family for a few days, he had grown to like this little girl very much.

"Um, Feifei, do you want a gift?" Lin Zheng asked the little girl in his arms.

"Um, Feifei wants a pretty gift!" The little girl blinked her big eyes and said in a crisp voice.

Lin Zheng handed the little girl to Li Ruoshui, who smiled and patted Feifei's forehead, full of affection. The little girl looked at Lin Zheng with anticipation. Lin Zheng smiled and took out a hairpin from his chest. The hairpin was surrounded by a purple glow, crystal clear and very beautiful. A lifelike butterfly was carved on the purple hairpin, making the little girl's eyes sparkle. She clasped her hands together, her eyes never leaving the hairpin in Lin Zheng's hand.

"This is for the cutest Feifei!" Lin Zheng smiled and handed the hairpin to the little girl. She quickly asked Li Ruoshui to put it on her, then kissed Li Ruoshui and Lin Zheng, and ran into the hall to show off. Lin Zheng and the others smiled at each other and followed her into the hall.

"Mother, look, this is the hairpin Brother-in-law gave me, isn't it pretty?" As Lin Zheng and the others entered the room, they saw Feifei standing in front of Shui Yingying, showing off her new gift with an innocent smile.

"Um?" Everyone in the room was discerning, and they were all quite surprised when they saw the hairpin on Li Ruofei's head.

"Is this Purple Azure Sea Stone? And it's carved as a whole, Feifei's promotion to Saint will have no obstacles!"

"Not only that, wearing it long-term has great benefits. The last time I saw a piece the size of a soybean at an auction, it cost ten thousand lower-grade crystals!"

"Alright, alright! Come, sit down and eat! Qin'er, sit next to me!" Shui Yingying smiled at everyone, inviting Lin Qin to sit next to her. Lin Zheng and the others also sat down. Li Daoyuan and the others, thinking of Lin Zheng's previous generosity, no longer paid much attention to the Purple Azure Sea Stone hairpin. The real heavy gift was the list that hadn't been revealed yet, making the Purple Azure Sea Stone seem less valuable in comparison!

Everyone ate a harmonious meal, and they were all very satisfied with Lin Zheng. However, the challenges ahead were also particularly daunting. Just now, the Li family had compiled all the information, and the focus of the storm was no longer just on Lin Zheng but also included the Li and Bai families! The Feng and Dou families had already taken action, and the entire Zeshui City was in turmoil!

PS: Here's the second update, a bit earlier. I went out to handle some matters this afternoon and realized that sometimes it's better to put things out in the open. Once I clear these things up, I'll be more relaxed for a while! Good luck to those taking the college entrance exam! Life will be better after tomorrow! Hehe, that's quite emotional! Hey, a request for a favorite and a red ticket!
