Lu Mo found Pipi, wanting to know more about the space. He felt things weren't that simple, for example...
Why did Pipi choose Ye Qingqing instead of someone else?
What is the relationship between space and hidden branches?
“Because the space originally belonged to the Xu family, who else would they turn to if not your wife?” Pipi rolled his eyes.
"The Hidden Branch only vaguely knew about the treasure, which is why they were so determined to wipe out the Xu family—their goal was to obtain the space!"
Pipi spoke very seriously; it wasn't exaggerating.
Once, a direct descendant of the Xu family was captured by the hidden branch and severely tortured to extract information about the whereabouts of the space. Some of the more brutal members of the hidden branch even dissected the Xu family's descendants in an attempt to find the space, but they found nothing.
Because there was only one space, and at that time the Xu family was not as impoverished as it is now, and the family was still quite prosperous.
Therefore, Pipi will select the most outstanding descendant of the Xu family, observe him for a period of time, and then hand over the space to this descendant.
Fortunately, none of the Xu family descendants captured by the Hidden Branch were owners of the space, which is why the Hidden Branch has not yet found out anything about the space.
Lu Mo's mood grew heavier and heavier. Possessing a treasure is a crime. Ye Qingqing has such a treasure. Even if it is not a hidden branch, even if others know about it, they will still be greedy and will do ruthless things to Ye Qingqing!
For those with little power, possessing treasures is actually a sin.
The results are often not very good!
Lu Mo's heart skipped a beat. The situation was critical, and he had no time to slack off. He had to become stronger quickly.
"Besides Yinzhi, is there anyone else who knows about the space?" Lu Mo asked.
"I don't think so, unless someone in the hidden branch leaks the information."
Pipi wasn't too sure. It explained, "The Hidden Branch is now divided into two factions, and the two factions are fighting fiercely. One faction advocates for the complete extermination of the Xu family's direct line."
"What about the other side?"
"The other faction is more moderate and suggests merging with the direct line of the Xu family, since the two branches belong to the same clan and there is no need for them to fight each other."
Lu Mo nodded. "This faction is more rational. Which faction has the upper hand?"
Pipi sneered, "Of course it's the evil faction. The faction that proposed the merger is all dead, leaving only the Zhu Zi siblings."
Zhu Zi and her brother's father, Zhu Fan, was exceptionally talented, and his mastery of poisons was the highest among his fellow disciples.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Fan will become the leader of the Hidden Branch. The leader at the time, who was also Zhu Fan's master, valued Zhu Fan highly, and everyone believed that Zhu Fan was the successor to the leadership.
However, Zhu Fan had an extremely good relationship with a senior martial uncle who strongly advocated merging with the direct lineage. Zhu Fan was deeply influenced by this uncle, which led to his tragedy.
"Zhu Fan died under mysterious circumstances. It is said that he was poisoned by his fellow disciple. Zhu Fan took his son and daughter back to his hometown, and died a few years later."
Lu Mo frowned slightly. The disunity within the Hidden Branch was actually a good thing, but Zhu Zi was neither righteous nor evil, and acted entirely according to his whims, making him difficult to approach.
Convincing him to join forces with Ye Qingqing won't be that easy!
But things can be done by human effort. After deciding to return to Pingjiang, Lu Mo tried his best to persuade Zhu Zi.
Zhu Zi understands the situation of the hidden branch. If he can persuade Zhu Zi to help Ye Qingqing, it will definitely be much easier!
A hotel in the county town
The stranger who had been reprimanded by Wuchen during the day was now making a respectful phone call, reporting in detail the information he had gathered during the day.
"Niu Tiedan's sister also has superhuman strength? How old is the little girl?" The voice on the other end of the line was that of a man, who sounded to be in his twenties or thirties, and his tone was arrogant.
"A girl of about ten years old, many strong men can't match the strength of one of her hands."
"Bring her back for further investigation, and be careful in your actions."
The young man spoke casually, as if he were simply talking about bringing back a kitten or a puppy.
