Quan Qi replied truthfully.

"The Immortal Sect is the source of unrest."

Chen Sheng's eyes flickered, and he knew the source of the problem. The will of the Immortal Sect was unstoppable, causing unrest in border areas, such as Sijiu City, which were all hit.

His mind raced, and he had already made a decision. He said, "If we want to restart the Linglong Niangniang Festival, we must restore order in the Forty-Nine City. Only when there is peace can we celebrate."

Under such circumstances, it will be impossible to restore the environment of the Linglong Niangniang Festival more than 180 years ago without rectifying the wrongs.

"My two distinguished guests, if you need my help, please let me know."

Quan Qi volunteered. He might not be needed for killing, but he could do some errands.

"You have guessed where we came from."

Mr. Chen looked at Quan Qi's actions. There was a hint of restraint and excitement in his manner, and his eyes were full of awe. This was definitely not the attitude of a shopkeeper towards a distinguished guest.

Considering the past of the Quan family, it is not difficult to guess that the other party should know his origins.

"I looked through the family tree last night, so I have a guess."

Quan Qi brought up his ancestor, who was of a very high esteem among his clan. When they met Chen Sheng again this time, they naturally showed him even more respect and did not dare to neglect him.

"Your guess is correct."

Mr. Chen admitted.

"It is a great blessing for the descendants of the Quan family to be able to meet the two immortal masters."

The guess was confirmed, and Quan Qi was overjoyed. This piece of fate was truly profound, spanning over 180 years and continuing again. It was definitely worthy of a special mention in the family tree.

"Your ancestors once sent me a visiting card. If you are willing, you can also send a visiting card to the immortal cultivation family in Sijiu City."

Mr. Chen's eyes were very gentle. In this life, fate is the most important thing. When he saw Quan Qi, he thought of the old shopkeeper and let him retrace the journey of his ancestors.

"Yes, I am willing."

Quan Qi responded excitedly.

In the family tree, this section is given great emphasis, describing how the ancestor of the family acted indifferently in the face of the Tian family's contempt, and how he turned around. The variety of facial expressions is really exciting.

Today, he will recreate the glorious moments of his ancestors, so how could he refuse?

In the Sijiu City, the three families headed by "Zhu, Cheng, and Wang" have a network of relationships throughout the city. They are able to command many small immortal cultivation families and are extremely powerful.

Mr. Chen didn’t have much impression of the three families. He thought that the leader was the one who grew back from Tian’s corpse.

He wrote three visiting cards and asked De Quanqi to deliver them.

A cycle seems to have begun.

…

Zhu family.

It is difficult to enter the wealthy and powerful families.

There was a guard standing on the steps, wearing black clothes and carrying a sword, with sharp eyes. He glanced over and looked a little ferocious.

"The shopkeeper of Hongxianlou, I am here to deliver a visiting card as requested by the senior."

Quan Qi had an accurate understanding of himself. Normally, as the owner of Hongxian Building, he would be turned away when he came to the Zhu family, so he stayed away from them.

This time, he straightened his back, walked to the door, and took out the visiting card openly.

This visiting card is his confidence.

This time he is the messenger, representing Mr. Chen's opinion, so he cannot be timid.

"Red Line Building? Got it, go back and I'll let you know when the time comes."

The black-clad guard often received such anonymous visiting cards, all of which were intended to curry favor with the Zhu family. He didn't say anything, just accepted the visiting card and asked Quan Qi to go back and wait for news.

"This is not a visiting card from Hongxianlou, but a visiting card sent by Hongxianlou on behalf of someone else. You should submit it as soon as possible and show it to the person who can make the decision."

Quan Qi was not confused at all. The anonymous visiting card was put away. If he was lucky, he would get a reply after three or five days. If he was unlucky, it would be just left in the corner and covered with dust.

This was all unacceptable to him. There was no other option but to do it beautifully.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Seeing Quan Qi's insistence and seriousness, the black-clad guard became more serious, took the visiting card in his hand, and walked straight to the inner court.

"The aftereffects of our predecessors' cleanup of the Forty-Nine City are still recurring."

Quan Qi knew that the noble families were arrogant, and a visiting card from a small person would most likely be thrown away if placed somewhere else. However, many cultivation families in Sijiu City had been reshuffled because of a visiting card, and they had psychological trauma, so they developed a humble attitude in dealing with people.

However, the black-clad guard came to the study of the steward in the mansion and handed over the visiting card.

"Manager Zhu, this is a visiting card from Hongxian Building."

He explained.

"Hmm? Please tell me clearly, is it a visiting card from Hongxianlou, or a visiting card sent by Hongxianlou on behalf of someone else?"

Manager Zhu was an old man, a member of the side branch of the Zhu family. He knew some secrets, and when he heard the words "Hongxianlou visiting card", he immediately began to pursue the details.

"Yes, it's the latter."

The black-clad guard's heart sank, realizing that there was no mistake this time, and he quickly told everyone what he knew.

"Give me the visiting card quickly."

Manager Zhu's face changed, he took the visiting card and instructed, "Entertain the owner of Hongxianlou well."

The next moment, he trotted out.

"Master, I have urgent news."

In the inner courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man setting up a chessboard. He did not bother to disturb him and broke the peace directly.

"explain."

Zhu Rizheng frowned, not because he thought Manager Zhu was tactless, but because he knew that something must be serious to make such a knowledgeable old manager lose his composure.

"Hongxianlou is here to deliver a visiting card again."

Manager Zhu believed that with the master's intelligence, he would be able to appreciate the meaning behind it.

"Let me see..."

Zhu Rizheng shuddered. Even if two hundred years passed, they would still be deeply impressed by the fact that Hongxianlou delivered visiting cards for others.

Because they were the beneficiaries after the visiting card, they broke out of the siege and reached the top of the Forty-Nine Cities when the Tian family fell out of luck and other families weakened.

"Oh my goodness, the elder from Guangxiu Xianzong is here again."

He finished reading the visiting card. The four words "Mr. Chen from Yaolu" at the end were elegant and gentle, but they made him feel pressured.

It was also confirmed that Hongxianlou continued the tradition and sent a visiting card on behalf of Mr. Chen.

"But what are your instructions?"

Manager Zhu looked solemn. This visiting card was of great importance. Many immortal cultivation families fell into ruin because of it.

"Nothing was said. Just let us meet at the Red Line Building in three days."

Zhu Rizheng shook his head, looking somewhat solemn. Not knowing the reason was the most terrifying thing.

"It's so easy to say, but once we see evil, the family will fall."

Manager Zhu also knew that this meeting was crucial and was not just a simple encounter. It would definitely affect the family's fortune.

As to whether it will rise or fall, it is still unclear now.

"Where's the messenger?"

Zhu Rizheng asked.

He is the head of the family and is in charge of the general direction. When there is fog in the distance, he has to collect enough clues and steer the ship on the right course.

"Please come in. We are waiting for you in the meeting room."

Manager Zhu secretly thought that this was a close call. Fortunately, he was careful in his work, otherwise, if he had been careless this time, the host's impression would have been soured.

Now it seems that, thanks to this careful planning, the authority to manage affairs can be smoothly transferred to future generations, and passed down from generation to generation.

"Very good, let's go meet the shopkeeper."

Sure enough, Zhu Rizheng praised and affirmed Manager Zhu's work attitude.

He felt that the shopkeeper of Hongxian Tower was a person who could not be ignored. The comings and goings of the masters of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect all started and ended with Hongxian Tower. With long-term contact, he must know some clues.

…

Meeting room.

"My Red Line Building's visiting card is definitely famous in the entire Forty-Nine City over the past two hundred years."

Quan Qi was indeed treated with care. He did not lose himself and knew the source of the Zhu family's courtesy. It was because the senior behind him was powerful and lent him the power, which gave him his majesty.

"Boss, please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."

Zhu Rizheng came to receive us personally. He was a very generous person, not putting on airs and being self-respecting, which gave people a comfortable feeling.

"Your family is so polite and courteous, I admire you."

Quan Qi said politely.

"That's good. I feel relieved."

Zhu Rizheng wanted to deepen the relationship. Since Hongxianlou had established a connection with an elder of the Immortal Sect, there might be other opportunities. He said, "Boss, if you have any trouble in the future, don't be shy. Just come to me and I will make arrangements for you."

At the same time, he could also use the deepening of their relationship to find out the purpose of Mr. Chen's invitation and make preparations for the future.

"Master Zhu, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Quan Qi did not reject this kindness. He knew that the more these people did, the better. If they could get some favors without any conflicts, things would be much better for Hongxian Building in the future.

"Okay, that's great."

Zhu Rizheng's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "What exactly is that person planning?"

He was completely in the dark. Even if he wanted to flatter the master, he was afraid of flattering the master and getting beaten for no reason. It was better for him to find out the whole story first.

"That person and his Taoist partner wanted to attend the Linglong Niangniang Festival, but the Sijiu City hasn't held it for many years."

Quan Qi told what he had learned, especially Chen Sheng and the other two, who showed a hint of disappointment on their faces after learning that the Linglong Niangniang Festival was suspended.

"So, you want us to take care of it?"

Zhu Rizheng was a smart man. He could understand the meaning of the music by just hearing the strings and saw the real intention.

"I can't say for sure."

Quan Qi shook his head.

He only said what he knew. Whether Mr. Chen meant this or not, he thought so, but he would not say anything until the truth was revealed.

"Anyway, thanks."

Zhu Rizheng was not disappointed, but a little happy instead. It could be seen that Quan Qi was a steady man, and the clues he provided were not mixed with personal considerations.

With the definite clues, he felt that he had analyzed the truth. The appointment at the Red Line Building should be to restart the Linglong Niangniang Festival.

After the Zhu family, Quan Qi went to the Cheng and Wang families, where he was treated with courtesy.

This made him feel like something was missing.

Yes, there was a pulling feeling, and no twists and turns of surprises. It seems that the visiting card from the Red Line Building still leaves some shadows on them.

"Senior, I sent the visiting cards to the three families. They were very kind and asked some questions. I told them everything I knew."

After finishing his work, Quan Qi returned to the Red Line Building and reported to Mr. Chen. He did not hide anything about the reactions of the three families and their friendly solicitations, and explained them in detail.

"This generation's leader of the Four Nine Cities is quite clever."

Mr. Chen laughed. Things went smoothly and he did put in some effort.

"The past is a lesson for the future."

Luzhu chuckled. Back then, she had indeed frightened many of the immortal cultivation families in the Four-Nine City. Even after many years, they were still frightened and did not dare to act recklessly.

"Then just wait for the right time."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

Three days later.

The heads of the Zhu, Cheng and Wang families met outside the Hongxian Building. It could be said to be a tacit meeting. They felt a little more reassured because they had someone around them.

"You two, we are in this together. I support your decision."

Zhu Rizheng was righteous and awe-inspiring, and all he talked about was the interests of the city, as if he was determined to fight the enemy together.

"We haven't even expressed our stance yet, and you support us. You are such a sinister guy."

The head of the Cheng family was a middle-aged man with square cheeks. He called out to Cheng Kong and almost couldn't hold back. They were fighting openly and secretly with each other, and one could roughly guess what the old rival was thinking.

This guy definitely has bad intentions and is definitely planning to stab you in the back.

"Well said."

Wang Shaojie didn't even pretend, he was indifferent, obviously he didn't take the words to heart.

"Three of you, this way please."

Quan Qi saw the heads of the three families at a glance and was delighted. It was truly an honor for a small Red Line Building to be able to attract such important figures from the city.

He led the three people through the corridor and came to Room No. 2.

"Hello, senior."

"The senior is still as elegant as ever, which is admirable."

"Time should not affect your appearance. Senior is truly an immortal."

The three family heads glanced at Chen Sheng. He had a young face and a gentle demeanor, and had the demeanor of an immortal who had obtained the fruit of immortality.

They didn't dare to look directly at him for a long time. After a brief observation, they bowed their heads slightly, acting like the younger generation.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Mr. Chen said calmly.

After a few breaths, none of the three family heads answered, which seemed to indicate that they were being cautious.

In the end, it was Zhu Rizheng who spoke first, saying, "Linglong Niangniang Festival is a major tradition of the Forty-Nine City, but it has come to an end. I am very sad, so I decided to restart it this time."

His words were extremely appropriate, but the reason why he attached importance to Linglong Niangniang Festival was that he guessed Chen Sheng's intention and deliberately agreed with him.

This is beyond doubt! Cheng Kong: “…”

Wang Shaojie: “Awesome.”

Not to be cowardly?

Keep the enemy out?

It's obvious that this guy has bad intentions. He turns hostile without any hesitation and has no manners at all.

"My two families have an obligation to organize the public and hold the Linglong Niangniang Festival in a grand manner."

Of course, it is necessary to express your stance.

Cheng Kong and Wang Shaojie both absolutely agree with the restart of the Linglong Niangniang Festival.

As they talked, the three of them immediately started discussing that they would use their own energy to liven up Sijiu City and make this Linglong Niangniang Festival lively.

"The original meaning of Linglong Niangniang Festival will be lost."

Mr. Chen does not agree with the "forced" celebration of the festival. The original intention of the Linglong Goddess Festival is to pray for blessings and for people to tell the Linglong Goddess about the beauty in their hearts.

When it becomes a formality without emotion, it will no longer have any meaning.

"So what do you want to do, Senior?"

Zhu Rizheng and the other two felt a headache, only then did they realize that the means of doing things was also extremely important.

"Sijiu City is peaceful now, and the people feel they need to vent their joy, so they will naturally hold the Linglong Niangniang Festival."

Mr. Chen elaborated.

"Senior, this is a bit difficult."

Zhu Rizheng and the other two were stumped. Chen Sheng’s request was to change the world and fundamentally change the turmoil in the old city.

These require a strong force to maintain safety.

And maintaining such a force also costs money.
