Putting aside Yu Qinglv's thoughts for the moment, Yu Xiaogang, having learned of the situation at the shops, had already begun to ponder the purpose behind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's actions.
If it were just business in other places being maliciously affected, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have thought much of it.
But for a coastal city like Vast Sea City, Yu Xiaogang's first reaction was that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already sensed the existence of Whale Glue.
With Whale Glue as the objective, and filling in the gaps with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's recent moves, Yu Xiaogang quickly understood their intentions.
By affecting the business of his own Sect, they were making the acquisition of Whale Glue difficult, forcing the Sect to take action to change things.
Through these actions, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could trace which parts of the business the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect cared about, and thereby follow the vine to find the Whale Glue.
Having figured this out, Yu Xiaogang secretly sighed in his heart; they were truly worthy of being called schemers. If it weren't for his good luck in happening to travel here and discovering all this in advance, they might have really followed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's script.
"However, now that I know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's script in advance, how things proceed from here won't go as you wish."
Yu Xiaogang grinned.
This kind of conspiracy is most afraid of being seen through.
When it hasn't been seen through, it can silently calculate a major power to its doom.
But once seen through, it will conversely harm those who devised the conspiracy.
Just like right now, isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect trying to find Whale Glue? Then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, knowing this in advance, can give them some "Whale Glue."
As for whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will cry after buying back this "Whale Glue," that is not something they need to worry about.
Because even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suffers a huge loss because of this, they have no way to speak of it.
After all, they can't exactly condemn the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for detecting their conspiracy and turning the tables on them, can they?
Of course, besides using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's own schemes to trick them, Yu Xiaogang was also prepared to do something else.
Those who play at conspiracies like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are the most disgusting; to a certain extent, Yu Xiaogang even felt more favorably toward the Clear Sky Sect than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Clear Sky Sect puts everything out in the open; their arrogance stems from their own Sect's strength, and if they have a grudge against you, they make it clear that they intend to seek revenge.
Yu Xiaogang was never afraid of things placed in the open, because such things are easy to guard against; as long as he had sufficient strength, he wouldn't need to fear them.
What Yu Xiaogang truly disliked were the types like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who played at conspiracies and intrigues behind people's backs.
Because you have no idea what disgusting methods these guys have prepared in the shadows.
You might be chatting and laughing with the other party one moment, and the next second, they could be stabbing you in the back.
"Has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect made any big moves recently?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Qinglv; he didn't pay much attention to the trivial matters of the continent, usually only listening to the most important ones.
"...Recently, let me see, the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, is also leading Family members to travel the continent."
"But as you know, Xiaogang, the main Family of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all support-type Spirit Masters, so their travels are more accurately described as visiting talented people in various places, or building relationships with some powerful individuals."
Yu Qinglv thought for a moment, then said.
"Ning Fengzhi, huh... According to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's rules for succession, whoever can recruit strong individuals for the Sect becomes the next Sect Master."
"So, who are the powerful individuals traveling alone on the continent nowadays?"
Yu Xiaogang asked.
"Sword Douluo Chen Jianjun and his son, Seven Kill Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Fierce Tiger Douluo Hong Chen, Vajra Douluo Moro."
"At the Spirit Douluo level, there are Spirit Douluo Wang Xingyuan, Spirit Douluo Xie Zhiye..."
Hearing this, Yu Qinglv reeled off a long list of names without hesitation.
The titles of these powerhouses were known to everyone in all factions of the Douluo Continent; those of them responsible for Family businesses had to give every new shop employee a lesson in recognizing these people as soon as they were hired.
Therefore, the businesses of major powers would not fail to recognize the various powerhouses, though, of course, that is assuming those powerhouses haven't disguised themselves.
However, once they use a disguise, the offended major power would then have something to say about it.
Hearing the names mentioned by Yu Qinglv, corresponding information also surfaced in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
Sword Douluo Chen Jianjun and his son Chen Xin were considered the strongest among those currently classified as wandering Spirit Masters.
Of course, "wandering" here didn't mean they had absolutely no relatives.
It was just because their Family was very small, so it was generally ignored.
Previously, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had defeated the combined forces of the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in one battle, and their fame had soared for a time.
It was also at that time that the father and son, the Sword Douluo, had come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to pay respects to his father.
As a warlike person, Chen Jianjun had directly requested a sparring match with his father.
And his father had agreed to this sparring match.
Yu Xiaogang had seen that battle with his own eyes; he could only say that Chen Jianjun was worthy of being the Sword Douluo, his swordsmanship was truly superb.
His sword techniques directly surpassed Yu Xiaogang's understanding of swords.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yu Xiaogang felt that if it were purely a battle using weapons, no one on the entire Douluo Continent could defeat Chen Jianjun.
But unfortunately, the Douluo Continent was not a World where one purely fought with weapons.
Thus, in the end, Chen Jianjun was defeated by his father's hands.
Afterward, the father and son Chen Jianjun stayed at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for a period of time before leaving.
During that time, Yu Xiaogang had gained some understanding of the two, Chen Jianjun and his son.
Both Chen Jianjun and his son were the type of people who single-mindedly pursued higher and stronger levels; of course, compared to Chen Jianjun, Chen Xin was a notch lower.
After all, during their conversations, Chen Jianjun expressed his admiration for the Angel Douluo and Clear Sky Douluo who had once been invincible on the Douluo Continent.
And he vowed that one day, he would go to challenge them, even if it meant giving his own life for it.
As for Chen Xin, he was much more peaceful than Chen Jianjun.
According to him, he hoped more for a peaceful environment where he could study the Dao of the sword, allowing him to reach his father's level as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang told his father, and so Yu Yuanzhen extended an invitation to Chen Xin.
It was just a pity that Chen Xin did not agree; he chose to follow his father and leave, continuing to travel the Douluo Continent.
However, although he didn't agree, Yu Xiaogang could tell that Chen Xin was tempted.
So Yu Xiaogang instructed people from the Sect to pay close attention to the whereabouts of Chen Jianjun and his son.
In case Chen Xin changed his mind in the future, they would be able to go and invite him at the first opportunity.
