School flower's personal master

Chapter 12349

The mystery surrounding the racetrack has caused quite a stir.

Nowadays, not only top-tier families, but even ordinary people with slightly better eyesight have heard the rumors and are spreading them around as if they were secrets.

Anyone with a discerning eye would have suspicions about Yang Ming, who suddenly appeared today.

In this situation, if the Kong family extends an olive branch to them, they might inadvertently find themselves on the opposite side of the entire Tianjun aristocratic family.

That's no joke.

Confucius glanced at him: "Whether it's simple or not, does the Kong family have to be subservient to whomever we associate with? Is this how you act as the head of the Kong family?"

Kong Jisheng was speechless for a moment.

Confucius said quietly, "Our ancestors said to withdraw from the world to prevent unworthy descendants from causing trouble, not to make you cower like an old turtle."

"My son understands."

Kong Jisheng bowed down with a look of shame on his face.

Moments later, news of Confucius's invitation to Yang Ming to visit spread throughout Tian County, causing an uproar.

The expressions of the powerful figures from various aristocratic families all changed.

They could see the same problems that Kong Jisheng could see. If Yang Ming was indeed the mysterious person they were looking for, then the Kong family's statement was quite meaningful.

If it were just Kong Jisheng who stepped forward, even though Kong Jisheng is the head of the Kong family and represents the Kong family's attitude, they wouldn't be under so much pressure.

But that's Confucius!

Every single one of them acts superior in front of others, but when they were in front of Confucius, who would have the right to speak loudly?

Everyone turned to look at Liu Aozhi.

The meaning is obvious: it's his responsibility as the Grand Steward of Tianjun to take the lead in this kind of matter.

Liu Aozhi's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly.

Others might not be able to afford to offend Confucius, but he could?

The Liu family behind him was also a first-class family, but even if the entire Liu family were tied together, they might not be able to defeat Confucius.

Besides, the Confucius family has more than one sage!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Aozhi had no choice but to say, "Order the Rooster Group to confirm Yang Ming's identity as soon as possible."

As for the Kong family, not a single word was mentioned.

Everyone knew perfectly well that if they wanted to do anything next, they had to act before the Confucius family. Otherwise, once the person was in the Confucius family, it would be much more difficult to get him back from Confucius.

The Kong family's invitation soon reached Lin Yi's ears.

However, Lin Yi had no intention of visiting them at all.

On the surface, the Kong family has always had a good reputation, and if one could obtain their protection, most of the troubles could be resolved.

Even if Lin Yi directly revealed his identity, he would probably be safe and sound.

However, Lin Yi has never had the habit of entrusting his safety to others. Moreover, all his previous understanding of the Kong family of Tianjun was limited to hearsay, and he could hardly be said to know anything about them.

Moreover, even if the Kong family is truly reliable, it will be difficult for Lin Yi to rejoin the racetrack.

This concerns the interests of the entire Tianjun aristocratic family, and it's not something that the Kong family alone can decide.

Without wasting a moment, Lin Yi decisively searched for the next disguise and re-entered the track lobby.

Just in case, before the track closure mechanism goes live, Lin Yi must finish as many tracks as possible to ensure he has more than five divine fragments in hand, so that he can advance to the six-zhang Dharma form.

The six-zhang-tall Dharma form is the foundation for establishing oneself in Tianjun.

He has only saved two so far, and there is still a long way to go.

Tianjia Tea House.

A handsome young man with a touch of noble languor sat on the rooftop railing, looking down at the passersby while reviewing the latest intelligence report.

To outsiders, Tianjia Tea House is just the most famous chain tea house in Tianjun, but to those who truly understand it, it is the most powerful intelligence agency in Tianjun, capable of rivaling the Rooster Group of the Twelve Groups of the Heavenly Palace.

In some aspects, it even surpasses the Rooster Group.

The head manager waited respectfully to the side.

There's no other reason than that the man in front of him is the owner of Tianjia Tea House, whose name is Lü Bukui.

He quickly flipped through the pages; while others couldn't even make out the writing, Lü Bukui had already grasped all the intelligence information.

Lu Bukui tapped the railing rhythmically with his fingers, a meaningful look on his face: "So, it's certain that the person is Lin Yi?"

The head manager quickly agreed.

Lu Bukui looked on with admiration: "What a genius! He became the governor of three prefectures in just a few months. Now that he has come to Tianjun, he can also stir up trouble. I am really not waiting to see him."

The head steward flattered, "It is his good fortune to be favored by the young master."

Lu Bukui raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You think he'll submit to me?"

The head steward's tone became increasingly devout: "Since it is the young master who wants to take him in, then his own wishes are no longer important, since he will eventually submit anyway."

"What a mouth you have."

Lü Bukui laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Although the licking was a bit obvious, at least it wasn't wrong, that's exactly what it meant."

Since his rise to power, he has never failed to acquire anything he set his sights on, whether it be people or things.

Even those top-tier second-generation heirs have repeatedly suffered setbacks in his presence.

This statement is absolutely true, without the slightest exaggeration.

The head manager said cautiously, "Given the progress of the Rooster Group, it's only a matter of time before we lock down this person. Especially if the blocking mechanism is implemented, this person will immediately reveal himself if he doesn't know what's good for him."

"Once it falls into the hands of the Heavenly Palace, it will be much more difficult for us to snatch it back from their jaws."

"Young master, should we strike first?"

Lu Bukui was not from a prominent family; he started from scratch and built the Tianjia Tea House to its current scale, so he must have had powerful backers.

Ultimately, every grain of sand in Tianjun is inextricably linked to the Tianjun aristocratic families.

Lü Bukui not only has powerful backers, but also immense influence.

However, at least on the surface, he cannot go against the Heavenly Palace.

Lu Bukui pondered for a moment and said, "This is the most urgent matter. However, this matter is of great importance and we cannot do it rashly on our own. We need to find a partner."

The head steward immediately understood: "What about the Sima family?"

Lu Bukui shook his head: "If something really happens to those old foxes in the Sima family, wouldn't they sell out your young master?"

The "partner" he mentioned is, frankly speaking, a scapegoat.

Once the truth comes out, the person must have a reputation high enough to bear the blame.

However, the ability cannot be too strong.

Otherwise, it's hard to say who's taking advantage of whom.

The head steward cautioned, "The old fox is indeed difficult to deal with, but if it were a young fox, it wouldn't escape the young master's grasp."

Lü Bukui became interested: "Tell me in detail."

The head manager smiled and said, "There's a guy named Sima Bozhong who's been quite active lately."

Lü Bukui's eyes lit up: "This is good." (End of Chapter)
