The next three days were destined to be sleepless nights. Wei Chi did not feel any changes even when his cultivation base had been raised to the ninth level of the mortal realm.
A thick stack of files was placed in front of Wei Chi.
The files detailed the situation of the major families in Xufu Town, including the distribution of the clothing they had recently made.
Reading at night, Wei Chi’s eyeballs hurt from the burning of the oil lamp.
This continued for three days. Wei Chi had a basic understanding of Xufu Town’s clothing manufacturing families.
He also had a relatively long-term plan in his heart.
He pushed the door open and left.
He wasn’t in a hurry to find his second brother, Wei Fei. He recounted the situation in detail in his mind.
After confirming that there was really no problem, he took a deep breath.
‘I’ll do this kind of thing in one go! Otherwise, it’ll be difficult the second time!’ Wei Chi thought.
…
Wei Fei was playing with Xiao Ximo.
When he saw the black-clothed youth appear under the round door of the courtyard, he hurriedly called for the servant girl beside him to help.
The servant girl very sensibly carried Xiao Ximo away and secretly glanced at Wei Chi out of the corner of her eyes. She was both respectful and excited.
Although Wei Chi didn’t show off anything about saving Qian Wensi, the Duan family members knew it clearly.
It was this third young master who found the divine medicine from god knows where and saved Qian Wensi.
Otherwise, the current situation would be dangerous!
When everyone in the Duan family saw Wei Chi now, they also addressed him respectfully.
Only Xiao Ximo didn’t think so…
“Daddy! You’re finally here, Daddy!” Xiao Ximo shouted anxiously at Wei Chi, tearing her heart apart.
‘Don’t, little sister. I don’t want to be a father.’
Wei Chi really didn’t want to be a father.
The point was, what does his second brother think of him?
Wei Fei treats him well!
He smiled bitterly.
“It’s uncle!”
Wei Chi patted Xiao Ximo’s head. “Go play with your sister first. Uncle has something to do with your father.”
“Daddy, Xiao Ximo wants to go out and play!” Xiao Ximo grumbled.
In any case, those who were on good terms with her were all her father.
Great!
This couldn’t be changed.
Wei Chi was speechless. A penny appeared in his hand.
“Do you want it?”
“I want it!”
“Will you be good then?”
“Good!”
“Are you going to play with your sister?”
“Yes, yes!”
Xiao Ximo left with the servant girl with a smile.
This girl liked gold and silver at such a young age. She would be great when she grew up.
“It’s all because my third brother taught her well,” Wei Fei said awkwardly.
“Haha.”
In this way, there were only Wei Chi and Wei Fei in the courtyard.
Wei Chi sighed with emotion that his second brother was a real talent. The second son of the Wei family really lived up to his reputation.
Now that he stopped gambling, he looked even more like a graceful young master.
If he was a girl in this life, he probably wouldn’t be able to escape the hands of a young master like Wei Fei.
Wei Chi’s admiring gaze made Wei Fei feel a little flustered.
Two days ago, his elder brother came over to remind him that his third brother might come to look for him to do something in these two days.
No matter what he said, he just had to do it. He wanted to do it beautifully!
As long as it was beautifully done, then he would be given money to go out and listen to music!
It had been a long time since he had seen those girls.
Wei Fei wondered if those girls missed him?
…
The time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed.
Wei Chi explained the situation to Wei Fei in detail, and Wei Fei was greatly shocked when he heard it.
“Third Brother, are you really going to gather all the managers of Xufu Town together?” Wei Fei was shocked.
If his third brother said it, then it would be amazing!
He actually wanted to invite all the heads of Xufu Town’s families over for a meal!
This was something that had not happened for many years. Normal people would not invite their competitors for a meal.
They wished they could kill each other!
“Not all of them. Those who occupy at least ten percent of the clothing production share will not be invited,” Wei Chi replied.
“Ah? Is that so? Then, why don’t we invite others?” Wei Fei was even more confused.
He took the list that Wei Chi handed over.
Wei Fei felt that since they were all treating, he might as well invite more.
Wei Chi’s answer was very simple. “They don’t have the qualifications. We need to give up the small ones and save the big ones.”
Give up the small and save the big?
Save the big and give up the small?
Wei Fei didn’t understand.
Wei Chi saw Wei Fei’s confusion.
He explained, “This matter is of great significance. Long-term internal strife needs to be resolved. We can’t invite them to the discussion. Not only will they stir up trouble, but they will also make other people with high positions and authority unhappy. From a business perspective, they don’t have the qualifications to be on equal footing with us. At least for the time being.”
Wei Fei was speechless.
“Alright!”
Wei Fei heard Wei Chi’s decisiveness.
“Go early and come back soon. No matter how others laugh at you, you must invite all those who are qualified.”
“Just a day later, in Yu Shi, the largest restaurant in Xufu Town, the Lantern and Flower Tower.”
“Their family can have many people, but only one person can come during the final meeting.”
“This is not a game. It’s a business matter. We must let them know the seriousness of the matter.”
Wei Chi was serious.
“Okay! I will definitely fulfill our third brother’s request!” Wei Fei nodded heavily.
He changed his clothes and rode the carriage.
Wei Chi watched Wei Fei leave. He needed to explain the problem to his father, Wei Xu Bing.
…
“Chi’er, you don’t have to explain too much to an old man like me.”
“If you have any ideas, go and pursue them. It’s just a meal, I can still afford it.”
Wei Xu Bing stroked his white beard. The more he looked at his third son, the more he liked him!
As expected, Wei Chi had inherited his own intelligent brain.
However…
It was impossible to really convince the other families, right?
The undercurrents in Xufu Town were surging. Everyone was a tailor, so no one would submit to anyone.
He could treat it as spending money to train his third son!
… That was fine too!
Wei Xu Bing didn’t believe that there would be any substantial progress in this matter.
Wei Chi respectfully took his leave and didn’t make any promises.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
He would take things one step at a time.
If the other party’s clan members were intelligent people, that would be good. They were afraid of being as stupid as bugs.
When the time came, it would be difficult to communicate with them.
…
In the Zhangsun family, Wei Fei had just left.
In the meeting hall, there were three people.
The person in the highest position was a brawny man. It was hard to imagine that this brawny man already looked like an old man.
His name was Zhangsun Hao.
The head of the Zhangsun family was an existence on the same level as the Wei family’s Wei Xu Bing.
“Father, what is the Wei family up to?” His son, Zhangsun Cheng, was currently frowning, unable to understand.
“They probably came here to seek peace?”
In a corner, a long-haired girl stood there. Her brows were striking, and her facial features were as handsome as a man’s.
It was a handsome young girl called Zhangsun Mei. She was Zhangsun Cheng’s eldest daughter and Zhangsun Hao’s eldest granddaughter.
These three people formed the core of the Zhangsun family’s right to speak.
Therefore, purely from the right to speak, the Zhangsun family’s power was even more concentrated. The other Zhangsun families were generally unable to have a say.
Zhangsun Hao recalled Wei Fei’s invitation, but he wasn’t too sure either.
Logically speaking, the Wei family should know what the Zhangsun family meant.
The Qi family was a fuse.
And you’re telling me that the fuse didn’t ignite the conflict between the two families, but instead, brought the two families closer?
How could that be!?
“When the time comes, it’ll just be dinner. We’ll still have to go,” Zhangsun Hao said calmly.
Zhangsun Cheng and Zhangsun Mei also looked at each other.
Let’s see!
Would the Wei family really have the guts to declare war?
If that was really the case, their Zhangsun family was not to be trifled with!
…
Similar things quickly happened in Xufu Town.
Wei Zhe went back and forth between the next four families.
One by one, he sent out invitations to inform them of the importance of the situation.
Just like that, the six great clothing families of Xufu Town had already been notified.
Tomorrow at the eleventh hour, it will be held at the city’s largest lantern tower.
For a time, the various great families were also extremely confused. They did not know what the Wei family’s intentions were.
Calling them to eat?
Wasn’t it a Hongmen Banquet, a feast created under false pretenses?!
But they were not afraid!
If the Wei family dared to make a move, they would definitely dare to retaliate!
…
The Twelve Chain Docks secretly received the news, but they didn’t express their stance.
They also didn’t secretly get involved.
The reason was very simple.
Firstly, there was a mysterious master behind Wei Chi, and this master had extraordinary abilities.
Secondly, this was a family matter.
Although the Twelve Chain Docks were very interested in knowing what would happen, they couldn’t get involved in other people’s business.
This was morality.
It was for the sake of the Twelve Chain Docks.
…
The government had also “unintentionally” received the news. It was absolutely “not” what Wei Chi had said.
Hearing about the matter of the six great clans, the government office panicked.
Early the next morning, people from the government office came to the Wei residence, requesting to confirm the possibility of this matter!
The Wei residence was attended by Wei Zhe. He had confirmed the small gathering today.
His words were simple. “It’s just a small gathering.”
“Alright!”
The officials laughed bitterly.
Xufu Town was a big town that made clothes. Eighty percent of the tax came from the clothing industry.
Oh my god!
Six big shots were going out for a small gathering at the same time. If one of them were to suddenly appear out of nowhere, would the six big shots be wiped out?
“Hiss!”
The county magistrate of their Xufu Town would probably kick his legs and die immediately.
These were all the rich men’s fathers!
If the rich men’s fathers were gone, what would happen to the county magistrate’s concubine!
Who would feed the horse grass to the advisor’s Ferghana horse?!
Therefore, such a mishap could not happen!
But now, the officials could not prevent this from happening at all. They were in an absolutely weak position.
There was only one method that they had adopted.
Clear the lantern tower!
Empty the lantern tower!
Vacate the lantern tower!
The important matter was repeated three times. This was a direct order from the county magistrate!
They sent the government’s most powerful headhunters and swift guards to protect them!
The officials cried out incessantly.
They thought to themselves, ‘Who in the Wei family would make such a request? It was truly a trick to swindle people’s mentality.’
Each one of them had made early preparations. The government had sent out over 200 people from the first floor and the second floor. They had circled the Lantern and Flower Tower twice!
In the end, things started to get more and more out of hand.
When the people from the six great clans saw that the officials had already done so, they couldn’t be afraid.
Their advisors were asked to come.
The foundation establishment cultivators had arrived.
These were foundation establishment cultivators! They were all standing in front of the building with their brows furrowed and their blades raised.
Most of them looked to be in their fifties or sixties.
Each clan had sent two foundation establishment cultivators.
It seemed that this was only a gathering of the six great clans, and there were a total of twelve foundation establishment cultivators inside and outside!
Not to mention the guards of the six clans…
The guards wore the clothes of each clan and stood on both sides of the bailiffs. They even guarded the entire Lantern and Flower Tower tightly!
Thus, the people of the Twelve Chain Docks couldn’t sit still anymore…
Fine!
Fine!
Fine!
Since all of them were like this, they can’t pretend to not see it!
The Twelve Chain Docks were all dispatched.

The twelve leaders all came!
The weakest was at the twelfth level of the Qi cultivating stage, and the strongest was at the ninth level of the foundation establishment stage!
The hour of the sun was about to arrive. The twelve of them smiled as they sat in the hall on the first floor of the Lantern and Flower Tower, eating and chatting.
Their expressions were filled with emotion!
Who was in charge behind the scenes, and had such ability?!
