Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1229: Chapter 410: Zhao Family Makes a Move, Joy and Inferiority, A Father’s Love, the Old Xiang Family’s Pride

The Zhao Family could compare with others, but when it came to Xu Ning, it was like inviting humiliation upon themselves.

Zhao Long’s first reaction was to let it go. If his niece suffered a bit, they could find another good match in the future. But seeing the pleading look on Zhao Bao’s face, he eventually softened. After closing his eyes to calm down for a moment, he looked up and asked them, ”What’s the deal with that girl Ji Jiang? Haven’t you tried to approach her? Maybe you can think of a way with her?”

Trying to find a way with Xu Ning and Xu An was definitely not going to work, so they could only start with Ji Jiang.

But as soon as Zhao Long asked, seeing Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao’s troubled expressions, he immediately guessed they had already thought about trying through Ji Jiang.

In other words, they couldn’t handle Ji Jiang either, which is why they came to their elder brother for a strategy.

”Ji Jiang... Ji Jiang...”

He lowered his head in thought for a moment, muttering Ji Jiang’s name several times, then suddenly thought of something. He looked up with surprise and said, ”Could this Ji Jiang possibly be related to that Ji Hong who recently broke through in Bashang?”

Seeing their expressions, Zhao Long’s vision immediately went black for a moment.

Top-grade Battle Body qualification, there were very, very few in Great Xia at present. Altogether, there were not even 20 confirmed ones, so when one suddenly appeared in Bashang City at the beginning of September, the news spread quickly, even Zhao Long heard about it when he was far away in Long Mountain.

”That Ji Jiang is Ji Hong’s biological younger sister.”

”You’ve caused me quite a headache! A top-grade Battle Body qualification who just got recruited by the Dragon Martial Army as a reserve, little brother, what do you want me to do, force her sister to leave Xu An?”

Hearing Zhao Long’s rhetorical question, Zhao Bao surprisingly remained silent, only looking at his big brother with hopeful eyes, the meaning was already quite obvious.

Zhao Long was so outraged he laughed, completely at a loss for words.

”Big brother, a freshly risen top-grade Battle Body, whether he can grow is still uncertain, do we really need to be so afraid? Although Ji Hong and his sister are old folks from the Mud Slope era, their parents passed away early, and they have no solid background. The fact that they only managed to break through to Cold Resistance Level in recent years shows their life hasn’t been too comfortable...”

Although Zhao Hu had a hot temper, his mind was quite meticulous. He had already investigated Ji Hong and his sister in advance. After finishing his words, seeing Zhao Long’s anger had subsided a lot, he hurried to continue, ”Forcing is definitely not an option, if we really make a fuss we won’t have a leg to stand on, but tempting him with great benefits to voluntarily give up still holds some hope. Ji Hong may have great qualifications, but he just broke through and lacks support. If we present him with contribution points enough to tempt him, aren’t we afraid he won’t agree?”

Bribe!

As Zhao Long heard his second brother’s opinion, a hint of interest flashed across his face.

Indeed, as Zhao Hu said, no matter how good the talent is, resources are needed for cultivation, and to some extent, the better the talent, the more resources are required. If Ji Hong and his sister truly have no one to help them, they are certainly in dire need of contribution points now.

Seeing the temptation on Zhao Long’s face, Zhao Bao immediately said, ”Big brother, as long as Ji Hong agrees to let his sister not ruin Yuanxiu’s marriage, I’m willing to offer five hundred thousand contribution points, paid in full all at once!”

Hearing the third brother’s words, Zhao Long fell silent.

Five hundred thousand contribution points, even for the three of them, was an extremely astonishing number. The key figure here also indicated how much Zhao Bao cared about his daughter’s marriage.

Zhao Yuanxiu was not only Zhao Bao’s daughter but also his niece. As an uncle, it would indeed be unreasonable if he refused to put in any effort.

”Alright, let’s try it, but both of you must remain silent the entire time and let me communicate with Ji Hong, understood?”

”Okay, big brother!”

Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao immediately responded in unison, their faces full of joy.
