Not to mention Yang Qi, who knows almost nothing about the history of Country R, even if it is a native of Country R, it is impossible for him to know the situation thousands of years ago, let alone the landforms of thousands of years ago. Otherwise, as a Kagura Palace that has been passed down for who knows how many years, why would it take so much effort to find a map
With their influence in Country R, even without a map, they would have definitely found Xu Fu's place of practice long ago.
Yang Qi had just arrived in Country R and had not yet started searching, so he did not know that even with a map, it would not be an easy task to search. Once he started searching, he would discover this problem.
But now, Duanmu Lingfeng's words reminded him that even if he had a map, it would not be so easy to find Xu Fu's place of practice. But if there was a deep-rooted local force to help, it would be different.
"I wonder what Mr. Yang thinks?" Duanmu Lingfeng looked at Yang Qi.
"What do you need me to do?" Yang Qi did not agree immediately. Xu Fu's place of practice was important, but with the inheritance of Emperor Wu, even if there were some treasures in Xu Fu's place of practice, it would only be of some help to him, and it was not something he had to get.
If Duanmu Lingfeng's request was too excessive, Yang Qi did not intend to agree to it.
"To be honest, our family suffered heavy losses when they sent Hua Jin warriors into China. Originally, the Duanmu family was the most powerful family in the Koga sect, but because we lost too many Hua Jin warriors, our family is now being ostracized by other families." Duanmu Lingfeng said.
Although the Koga faction is headed by the Duanmu family, the Duanmu family's strength has been greatly reduced. The martial arts families under its command are naturally unwilling to be inferior to the Duanmu family and want to overthrow the Duanmu family's ruling position.
"You want me to help you suppress those families that oppose you?" Yang Qi looked at Duanmu Lingfeng and said.
Duanmu Lingfeng nodded slightly and continued, "The day after tomorrow is the day for our Koga sect to gather. We have received news that the others are preparing to join forces at the gathering to force me to hand over the position of leader of the Koga sect."
So that's how it is. Although Yang Qi was surprised, he didn't feel too strange. Duanmu Lingfeng was so anxious to find him, it must be that the crisis of the Duanmu family was imminent. Otherwise, Duanmu Lingfeng would not have risked looking for him under the circumstances of the original hatred between the two sides.
"After all, I'm not one of your R countrymen. Even if I help you suppress other dissenting voices this time, will your Duanmu family be able to hold on to this position in the future?" Yang Qi looked at Duanmu Lingfeng in front of him and said lightly.
It is impossible for him to stay in charge of the Duanmu family forever, and cultivating martial artists with Hua Jin ability is not something that can be done in a short period of time. If the Duanmu family wants to restore its previous strength, it will be impossible without 10 to 20 years of recovery.
After such a long time, if other families attacked again, the Duanmu family without Yang Qi in charge would definitely not be able to resist.
“So this matter requires Mr. Yang’s cooperation. When the time comes, Mr. Yang will pretend to be a member of our Duanmu family. Afterwards, we can say that Mr. Yang is in seclusion. Although the strength of our Duanmu family is not as great as before, we have a Heavenly Rinpoche secretly intimidating others, so they dare not object. By the time they react, we will already have the power to fight back.” Duanmu Lingfeng said.
"Let me pretend to be a R countryman?" Yang Qi frowned.
"Mr. Yang, don't worry. When the time comes, you only need to suppress those who oppose you, and I will take care of everything else. If it succeeds, Mr. Yang will only need to send you orders in the future. After all, my Duanmu family will do our best." Duanmu Lingfeng said hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Okay, I can promise you." Yang Qi looked at Duanmu Lingfeng and said lightly.
Hearing this, Duanmu Lingfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and invited Yang Qi to come. Although he was sure that Yang Qi would not take action, he was not completely sure that Yang Qi would agree to help them.
Although the price they offered was not low, they also only had an approximate location of Xu Fu's training place. Apart from them, the Iga sect and Kagura Palace also knew the approximate location. However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the entrance, so Kagura Palace sent people to look for a map. After all, as long as they found the map, they could find Xu Fu's training place.
Now that Yang Qi had agreed, Duanmu Lingfeng was completely relieved. With Yang Qi as the Heavenly Ninja in charge, the crisis of their Duanmu family was resolved.
"Mr. Yang, Xu Fu's place of practice is in the Nagoya area." Duanmu Lingfeng said.
Um
Hearing Duanmu Lingfeng's words, Yang Qi was stunned and looked at Duanmu Lingfeng in surprise. After all, Yang Qi had not yet helped the Duanmu family solve the crisis, and Duanmu Lingfeng actually told him the news of Xu Fu's cultivation place in advance, which made him a little surprised.
"Aren't you afraid that I will get this news and leave the Duanmu family and not help you?" Yang Qi looked at Duanmu Lingfeng and said lightly.
"Mr. Yang is a powerful person at the level of Tianren, we should show our sincerity." Duanmu Lingfeng said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi just smiled slightly and said nothing more.
I have to say that the attitude of the R countrymen when facing the strong is very comfortable. They know when to show their sincerity and when to restrain their little thoughts.
When working with such people, as long as you have the upper hand, you don't have to worry about them rebelling.
Even though Yang Qi had no natural liking for the R people, he really couldn't think of any reason to go back on his word given Duanmu Lingfeng's attitude.
"Mr. Yang, it's getting late now. Why don't you rest here tonight? Although the manor is not big, it has authentic hot springs." Duanmu Lingfeng said with a smile.
"Then I'm sorry to bother Master Duanmu." Yang Qi thought about it and nodded.
Compared to the high-rise-like hotels like Kyoto Hotel, Yang Qi is more interested in the authentic retro R-national residences like the manor. Just like going out for a trip, who would go to see high-rise buildings? If they were to take a boat trip on the river, most people would definitely choose a retro wooden boat instead of a speedboat.
Yang Qi is no exception. In a high-rise building like this, there are always opportunities to move in. But in a manor like the Duanmu family, people cannot move in at any time.
The hot spring is built with bluestones, and the spring water flows into the hot spring pool through the broken bamboo tubes. It has a unique charm when paired with warm and delicious sake.
"As expected of a big family, they really know how to enjoy life." Yang Qi sighed. Although he was also a wealthy man, he was not in the same league as the Duanmu family, which owned the Suzuki Group. The Suzuki Group was a very famous group in the entire R country, with a wealth of tens of billions. It might not be as good as Mr. Li Dongying, but it was definitely not much different.
"Strength is the foundation." Yang Qi thought to himself. Even if they had such wealth and a long-standing martial arts family, they still needed help from an outsider like him. In the final analysis, their own strength was not enough. If it were the level of the Kagura Palace, although the loss of a few Huajin warriors would be painful, it would not have any impact on their strength. (To be continued)
