This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After receiving Lin Fengxue's phone call, Lin Qingtian was also sick of it. He sighed inwardly that Lin Qingtian was unlucky, but at the same time, he felt a headache.

The current political climate within the south-west faction, though not very united, However, Xu Shangfeng was still one of the giants of the southwest faction, His voice needed to be emitted through the southwest faction, and the southwest faction also needed Xu Shangfeng's support. In the long run, if this continued, Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping were gradually moving further and further away from Lin Qingtian and Gao Changhe. If they could not coordinate in the short term, it was very likely that the southwest faction would split in the future.

However, this was only a matter of the future.

At least for now, Even if the conflict between the four giants deepened and expanded, the southwest faction would not split into two factions. Even if the southwest faction split, it would still be a matter between Lin Qingtian, Xu Dongping, and even Gao Changhe and Xu Shangfeng after they retired. In other words, they still had at least five to six years to coordinate their relationship.

Lin Qingtian understood this very well.

Xu Shangfeng was naturally not an idiot.

For those martial arts forces, Although Xu Shangfeng was hostile, But Lin Fengxue took them over. As long as Xu Shangfeng didn't meet him face to face, Even if he found out afterwards, The most he could do was to reprimand Lin Fengxue. He would be harsh on the experts of the martial arts factions. The conflict between the two sides might deepen, but they would definitely not directly turn hostile. After Xu Shangfeng's anger subsided slightly, he would basically just turn a blind eye to this matter.

However, things were just so unfortunate.

What could have been solved by other methods had actually been dealt with by Xu Shangfeng. Xu Shangfeng was originally extremely displeased with those martial arts forces, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, could it be that he pretended to be unable to see anything? If that was the case, his prestige would be greatly reduced in the future. However, Xu Shangfeng's reaction was still somewhat beyond Lin Qingtian's expectations. Not only did he reprimand Lin Fengxue, he was already about to come knocking on his door to have a fight with him.

Lin Qingtian was a little depressed, but he was also a little vigilant.

Xu Shangfeng and the Xu Clan were originally one body, but normally, at least on the surface, Xu Shangfeng was still very observant of the rules. Basically, he wouldn't interact with the Xu Clan too closely on the surface. Even if something really happened, he was only gathering the main characters of the Xu Clan to talk. Today, he went to Glorious Divine Continent with great fanfare, so why?

Presumably, it wasn't to block the snow storm.

No matter how much he looked at those martial arts forces, they were not bored to such an extent. In this way, he was almost certain that something big was going to happen.

It wasn't about Xu Shangfeng, it was about the Xu Clan.

In the office, Lin Qingtian brewed tea. While thinking, Most of the Xu Clan's affairs now, They were all taken care of by Xu Shangfeng's younger brother, Xu Shangguo. The Xu Clan has developed rapidly over the years, His strength expanded extremely quickly, Apart from being directly related to Xu Shangfeng's rise in status, Xu Shangguo also contributed a lot. Compared to Xu Shangfeng's previous stance, Xu Shangguo was definitely a wonderful person. He was exquisite in all aspects, good at dancing and investing. The Xu Clan's assets quickly spread throughout the country in a short period of time. At least according to Lin Qingtian's knowledge, Xu Shangguo's investments rarely failed. At present, most of them seemed to be in a profitable state.

It was only because Xu Shangfeng's status and power were too dazzling, Therefore, it covered up a lot of Xu Shangguo's light, making him look a little unremarkable. However, out of all the wealthy families in the southwest faction, only Xu Shangguo was able to eat with Tang Xin of the royal family several times, even sit with the emperor, and even have some connection with Tang Xin, who was in charge of the royal family's economic ship during the New Year holidays.

Just this matter alone was enough to explain a lot of problems.

And it wasn't just Tang Xin, Xu Shangguo was very close to many important figures from the royal and southern factions. Although his eldest brother was the current leader of the southwest faction, the faction traces on his body were extremely faint. People habitually treated the Xu Clan as a wealthy clan of the southwest faction because of Xu Shangfeng. However, in fact, the Xu Clan had been immersed in its development all these years. There weren't many things that the Xu Clan really helped the southwest faction to do.

Now that Xu Shangfeng had appeared in Glorious Divine Continent and was secretly discussing with Xu Shangguo, what was wrong with this?

Almost immediately, Lin Qingtian thought of the countless projects that the royal family was about to start.

The return of the royal family, It's only been a few months, After the reunification, The empire had to plan its imperial headquarters as its own province, the emperor abandoned the apparent "one country, two systems" policy, However, in reality, he had all the military and political power of this new province in his hands. This meant that without the nod of the royal family, the empire's decree would not even be implemented in the future. However, such a return was also beneficial. At the very least, it would greatly enhance the overall national strength of the Divine Continent Empire.

At present, the negotiations between the royal family and the empire had already come to an end, and Lin Qingtian was quite concerned about this.

In the current imperial headquarters, there were only three cities that originally belonged to the Snow Nation on the land that could be used as a province.

In recent years, the economy of the Snow Kingdom had been thrown further and further away by the Divine Continent, Plus, it wasn't valued much by the Snow Nation before, So the rate of development has been fairly modest, In the circumstances, The three cities of the imperial family headquarters, it is necessary to carry out a large-scale rectification, With this sort of rectification, It was basically the same as pushing down and rebuilding the empire. With the current population of the empire, it was obviously impossible for three cities of the royal family to be treated as one province. The headquarters of the royal family was more than enough to fill tens of millions of people. Therefore, after the return of the royal family, that is, the future Beihai Province, there was a high possibility that the number of trees in the city would increase to seven to ten.

It also includes a lieutenant-governor-level city.

Creating several cities with their own characteristics would not only give the empire a lot of labor, but also provide countless opportunities for the empire's wealthy families to grow stronger.

After all, with the establishment of the new province, the empire needed to provide strong support. In a short period of negotiations, the royal family and the empire had already finalized several major projects.

Several, big projects.

That doesn't sound like much.

However, such a big project was enough to support a wealthy family with just one.

As for large projects that were slightly lacking, there were even more.

The Xu Clan had a wide range of industries in the empire. In addition, Xu Shangguo had cooperated with Tang Xin many times. There was no reason for the Xu Clan not to be tempted by the future development prospects of the royal clan.

This was what Lin Qingtian had expected.

But now that Xu Shangfeng had personally gone to the Glorious Divine Continent, Lin Qingtian couldn't help but be wary.

At the very least, according to what he knew, the Xu Clan was the most competitive among the large number of wealthy clans competing for the Royal Clan's Wisdom City Project.

The administrative name of the City of Wisdom has yet to be determined, But there were already a lot of titles, Green City, The city of parks was filled with all sorts of names. This was a mega-project that had invested hundreds of billions of dollars and not all of them. Naturally, it was impossible for the Xu Clan to eat it all. However, the more they ate, the closer the relationship between the Xu Clan and the royal clan became. At that time, Xu Shangfeng's position would be worth careful consideration.

Of course, as the leader of the southwest faction, At Xu Shangfeng's level, there was no possibility of him directly turning to the royal lineage. However, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau who still had at least five to six years of political life left, a slight tilt in his attitude was enough to make the southwest faction, which was already in a difficult situation, feel even more uncomfortable in the next few years.

Lin Qingtian had a headache.

Perhaps when Xu Shangfeng went to the Xu Clan today, he was originally demonstrating for Lin Qingtian, but now he happened to encounter Lin Fengxue and the members of those martial arts forces. In this way, things would definitely get worse.

What made him even more irritated was that he had no way to ease the conflict with Xu Shangfeng so far.

Regardless of whether it was Xu Shangfeng's influence or the elites of the martial arts forces, he would not be able to let go in the next few years. No matter which side he lost, the southwest faction would not be able to withstand it.

"Fuehrer, President Wang is here to pay a visit."

While Lin Qingtian was deep in thought, a knock suddenly sounded on the door. After obtaining his permission, an ordinary secretary on duty from the secretariat of the 'Lin Office' walked in and said respectfully.

President Wang?

Lin Qingtian was stunned for a moment. Without a doubt, it was Wang Tianxiong.

But at this time, what was he doing here?

Lin Qingtian was a little hesitant. He didn't know if he should meet them. During this period of time, he was in a passive position. He really didn't want to deal with any of the king's magnates in private.

"President Wang said that he has something important to report to the Fuehrer. In addition, he has also received an invitation from Director Xu Shangfeng to come here and exchange views with the Fuehrer on some matters."

The secretary seemed to have noticed Lin Qingtian's hesitation and added softly.

Xu Shangfeng invited Wang Tianxiong!

Lin Qingtian blew off his eyelids, and a tyrannical expression flashed in his eyes. He said calmly, "Then invite President Wang in."
