Are you crazy?Madame, you are actually the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 3 Blue and White Sect

Tianrun City, where their Xiao family is located, is located in Taiqing Prefecture in the territory of Great Xia Kingdom.

And the backer behind their Xiao family is the Blue and White Sect who has a great reputation in Taiqing Prefecture.

With the Blue Flower Sect as the backer, the Xiao family's business has been relatively stable in these years.

Those young people in the rivers and lakes did not dare to mess around after knowing the backing of the Xiao family.

When traveling on commercial roads on weekdays, even if those bandits encountered the Xiao family's caravan, most of them would let it go.

Of course, in order to maintain the protection of the backer of the Blue Flower Sect, their Xiao family also paid a considerable price.

Those big and small gifts on weekdays are not listed for the time being.

Just the silver taels that the Xiao family pays to the Blue and White Sect every year is as much as 3 taels.

Rao is that their Xiao family has a big business, so it is very painful to give out so much silver.

However, in the recent period, their Blue Flower Sect has even begun to be dissatisfied with the 3 taels of silver given by the Xiao family every year.

They directly opened their mouths, wanting to increase the amount of silver enshrined by the Xiao family to 5 taels a year.

You know, 5 taels of silver is already the Xiao family's profit for almost a whole year.

If all the profits were given to the Blue Flower Sect, what would the thousands of people in their Xiao family eat and drink?
After thinking of this, Xiao Lingyun's face gradually became ugly.

"Blue and White Sect, what you guys are doing is really going too far!"

Xiao Lingyun said to himself while walking out of the study.

Originally, when he handed in 3 taels of silver for a year, Xiao Lingyun felt a little reluctant.

He originally planned to endure it for another three years, and wait until his strength can be exposed before making plans.

But now that the Blue and White Sect raised the price ahead of schedule, it immediately forced the Xiao family into a dilemma.

After all, taking out 5 taels of silver means that the Xiao family's cash will not be able to continue to operate.

So Xiao Lingyun has already made up his mind to reject the Blue Flower Sect this time.

Fortunately, the Blue Flower Sect has always established a decent image in Taiqing Prefecture.

Even if he rejected them, the other party would not dare to do anything to the Xiao family in the open.

Of course, the other party will definitely not stop there.

Maybe some people from the rivers and lakes will be arranged to threaten and intimidate their Xiao family.

It's just that even if these people come, Xiao Lingyun is sure, no matter how many people they come, he can quietly kill them.

This is his confidence now!
Not long after, Xiao Lingyun came to the hall of the Xiao family.

In the hall, the people from the Blue and White Sect were already sitting there.

Both of them were wearing the costumes of the disciples of the Blue and White Sect.

With long swords at their waists, the two looked calm and majestic.

The visitors were one tall and one short, and Xiao Lingyun had known the short one before.

On weekdays, he was responsible for conveying and accepting the connection between the Xiao family and the Blue Flower Sect.

As for the taller one, it was also the first time he had seen him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Lingyun took the main seat.

Then he ordered the housekeeper to serve tea to the two disciples of the Blue Flower Sect.

After the tea was served, the short Lin Yan stood up and said.

"Young Master Xiao, three days ago, your house should have received a letter from our head. I don't know if the Xiao family has any objections to the amount of offerings we proposed?"

As soon as Lin Yan opened his mouth, he went straight to the point.

The other party made it clear that they didn't intend to be polite to Xiao Lingyun.

After hearing Lin Yan's words, Xiao Lingyun could not help but sneer.

The other party's words were beautiful, and it seemed that they wanted to discuss the matter of enshrining with the Xiao family.

But the other party's words were clearly full of condescending orders.

Xiao Lingyun didn't feel at all that the other party left room for the Xiao family to make amends in the letter.

To talk about the reason why the Xiao family got involved with the Taiqing Sect, we still have to start with a past event.

At that time, Xiao Lingyun's parents accidentally rescued an elder of the Blue Flower Sect.

At that time, the elder of the Blue Flower Sect had always expressed his affection for the Xiao family.

And after that, he offered to protect the Xiao family in the name of the Blue Flower Sect.

At that time, the Blue and White Sect only collected one or two hundred taels of silver from the Xiao family every year to make a point.

But in the next few years, the elder who was familiar with the Xiao family became seriously ill and passed away.

And it was from then on that the Blue Flower Sect's attitude towards their Xiao family underwent a huge change.

It is specifically reflected in the fact that the offerings demanded by the Blue and White Sect from the Xiao family are increasing by a large amount every year.

By the time of the last payment of offerings, the amount had risen to as much as 3 taels.

Even so, the Blue and White Sect was still not satisfied.

This time, they even proposed to directly increase the offering by [-] taels of silver.

It's clear that they want to squeeze out their Xiao family.

If Xiao Lingyun was really incompetent and weak, he might be forced to die by the Blue Flower Sect.

But this time, the Blue and White Sect obviously made a wrong calculation.

So he replied indifferently: "Regarding this matter, our Xiao family also held a family meeting and discussed it in detail."

The two Blue and White Sects on the side looked at Xiao Lingyun with smiles on their faces.

In their view, the Xiao family has no reason to reject the Blue Flower Sect's proposal.

Because without the protection of the Blue and White Sect, the Xiao family would definitely be disturbed by the people of the Jianghu, and there would be no peace for a moment.

So the two of them came here this time, it was nothing more than a routine, to ask the Xiao family for a clear answer.

However, Xiao Lingyun's next words made the expressions of the two of them change immediately.

"Our Xiao family decided after discussion that we don't need to bother the Blue Flower Sect to worry about the Xiao family's affairs in the future."

Lin Yan's face was shocked: "What did you say??"

Then he glanced at the tall man next to him with an ugly face.

Then he asked Xiao Lingyun in surprise: "According to what you mean, your Xiao family won't need the protection of our Blue and White Sect anymore?"

"When the time comes, if someone in the Jianghu seeks trouble with your Xiao family, we won't need our Blue Flower Sect to take action. Is that what you mean?"

When Lin Yan said these words, there was already a stern look on the corner of his mouth.

For the other party's threat, Xiao Lingyun didn't take it seriously at all.

He just replied indifferently: "Brother Lin is right, our Xiao family has exactly this intention."

At this moment, the tall man on the side finally couldn't sit still.

He slapped the coffee table heavily, then snorted coldly.

"I didn't expect that your Xiao family is still such an ignorant existence!"

Regarding Xiao Lingyun's actions, the tall man's eyes were full of disdain.
