#1854 - Playing the long game
"Even if this guy didn't guess our ultimate goal, he realized that this matter isn't as hopeless as they thought."
Hearing Qin Lin's reply, Qin Liang said, "Let's observe them secretly for a few days, and then we'll visit the Potter family after a while."
Although they wanted to subdue the Potter family for their own use, both Qin Liang and Qin Lin deeply understood one truth.
That is, you can't rush it. Haste makes waste.
Sometimes being too proactive can scare the other party away.
Only by finding a suitable opportunity, coupled with a well-prepared plan, can we continuously advance...
Qin Liang and Qin Lin's main purpose in visiting the Potter family this time was nothing more than a few things.
The first is to send a signal to the Potter family, letting them know that this matter has not been completely rejected, and there is still room for negotiation.
The second is to fully understand the Potter family. After all, what Qin Buyi told them was just a general overview.
The specific details still need to be understood by themselves.
If they really subdue the Potter family in the future, it won't be Qin Buyi who manages them.
It will still be Qin Liang and Qin Lin who manage them.
In a sense, this trip is also a preliminary inspection of their subordinates.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed...
During these few days, Bobo initially maintained a stable mindset, waiting for Qin Liang and Qin Lin to arrive.
But the first day, the second day, the third day... several days passed in a row.
The other party didn't appear, and didn't even bring a message.
This caused Bobo's mindset to gradually change. He even began to suspect whether he had misunderstood their intentions last time.
Logically speaking, after the last communication and exchange, the other party should have arrived on the second or third day.
The current situation makes Bobo feel as if he has been completely forgotten.
Not only was Bobo anxious, but the Potter family members were also very anxious.
These days, they came to find Bobo almost every day, and now they come to find Bobo twice a day.
This made Bobo, who was full of confidence before, feel a headache.
"It shouldn't be like this..."
Just as Bobo was thinking about this, the Potter family members arrived again.
"Lord Bobo, it's been several days, have those two humans forgotten about us? Or should we take the initiative to visit them?"
"Those two humans look like they are in high positions and must be very busy every day. It's normal for them to forget about our Potter family."
"If we go to visit those two humans, we need to know where they live, alas~ I'm wondering if Lord Bobo misunderstood their meaning last time."
"Maybe they just wanted to be polite, or maybe they wanted to give our Potter family one last chance, but we didn't seize it."
"It's too late to say anything now, let's think about how we should make up for this matter next."
... It's no wonder these Potter family members are worried.
Qin Buyi has already entered closed-door cultivation, which means they can't find the person who can make the final decision now.
Lan Wenhao, Ying Zhi, and Su He basically haven't cared about them these days.
The only hope is all on Qin Liang and Qin Lin.
But the other party hasn't shown up for several days after the last appearance.
The most important thing is that if the Potter family wants to find Qin Liang and Qin Lin, they don't even know where the other party lives.
This is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Their current situation can no longer be said to be passive... it's standing still, completely giving up initiative.
Coupled with Bobo's previous confident words, which are now somewhat self-defeating.
These Potter family creatures have a little resentment in their hearts...
Bobo naturally felt the resentment of his fellow clansmen towards him.
What can he do? He is very helpless now.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
This is what Bobo has been saying frequently recently.
Hearing this answer again, a clansman finally couldn't help but say:
"Lord Bobo, we have waited day after day, and there has been no improvement at all. The other party seems to have forgotten us!"
"If this is the case, if we continue to wait, won't we completely become a joke? Maybe people have really forgotten about us."
"Now we are here to ask for help, so naturally we must show the attitude of asking for help. If we stay here every day without being proactive, we will lose even if we have the opportunity."
"In my opinion, we can't wait any longer. We must come up with a proactive solution as soon as possible, otherwise this mission will fail."
... Bobo had expected the current situation.
The blame from the clansmen did not make him angry, because if he were in their shoes, anyone would be angry.
After patiently saying all the good words to persuade these clansmen to leave, Bobo slumped in his chair, as if he had no strength left.
"What are those two humans doing? Why haven't they come yet..."
At the same time, Qin Liang and the other two were drinking and having fun with Lan Wenhao and the other three.
Lan Wenhao said, "It's rare that Brother Qin Liang and Brother Qin Lin have left the Little Thousand World and lived in the Star Blue Academy for so many years. We are all spending such a good time together."
Qin Liang laughed and said, "Haha, isn't it because everyone is very busy? Brother Qin has been working hard, so naturally we can't stop either."
Ying Zhi said, "I agree with this statement, but when it comes to being busy and working hard, Brother Qin Liang and Brother Qin Lin are enough to crush the three of us."
Su He complained, "Brother Ying Zhi's words have gone to my heart. Brother Qin Liang and Brother Qin Lin are too competitive. Compared with the two of them, I am just a salted fish."
Qin Lin said, "You are wrong, everyone is working hard, it's just that the forms of expression are different."
... When the five people were talking and laughing, Lan Wenhao said, "Is it really okay for us not to pay attention to the Potter family these days?"
Qin Liang said, "There's nothing wrong with letting them cool off. If you ask for help, you must have an attitude of asking for help. If you can't even grasp your own position, you're a bit overestimate yourself."
Ying Zhi said, "Brother Wenhao is overthinking it. Brother Qin Liang is casting a long line to catch a big fish."
The reason why Lan Wenhao and the other three didn't pay attention to the Potter family was entirely because this matter was handed over to Qin Liang and Qin Lin.
Even if Qin Buyi didn't explain anything to them before he entered closed-door cultivation.
With their wisdom, they would have already understood and figured out what was going on.
Otherwise, why would Qin Liang and Qin Lin, such important figures, put down the affairs of the Little Thousand World and live in the Star Blue Academy for so many days for the first time.
Don't look at it as just a few days, this has never happened before.
