Chapter 50: The City Lord's Mansion Banquet

With He Ku winning this game against Yun Che, the challenge also came to an end.

But the selection of the outer door still continues at this moment, although it is no longer such a wonderful battle selection, but it involves the participation of most people, and it is equally lively.

Yun Cuiqing, who was in a bad mood by He, had already left the scene to check Yun Che's injury, so the matter of presiding over the selection of the outer sect was taken over by other elders.

"The first challenge of the outer door selection is over, and the second outer disciple contest is over, a total of three rounds! The participants in the first round determine their cultivation, and each age has a corresponding cultivation limit, and those who pass will enter the second round. The second round is also divided by age, and the knowledge of spiritual skills and history is investigated, and the third round is interviewed by the elder group. ”

As the elders announced the rules, the outer disciples were eager to try.

However, this has nothing to do with He Ku, who is already an approved disciple, in addition to hundreds of inner disciples, who are all in a lively state of mind at this time.

In addition to the Shuiyun Palace, the two university palaces of Mingzhu and Glaze are also in full swing in the selection, and the major families have also decided to participate in the selection of the royal city, after all, in less than five days, the selection of the royal city will begin.

Although the royal city is the city that occupies the most selection of the ultimate successor, there are a full hundred places.

However, the competition in the royal city is also the most fierce, the four major families and the three university palaces, which one is not coveting these hundred places.

What's more, in addition to these big forces, there are also many family forces who also participate in a piece of the pie, this hundred places seems to be a lot, but in fact, it can't meet the needs of Wang Cheng at all, and the competition for Wang Cheng's selection far exceeds that of other cities.

This is also the reason why the gate of the royal city will choose to ban it, to avoid outsiders from entering, and to reduce the number of people participating in the selection in the royal city as much as possible.

However, there will also be many people who choose to leave the royal city and go to a small city to compete, after all, the competition in the royal city is too fierce, and the four major families and three university palaces are not something that ordinary people can wrestle with.

The selection of the outer gate of the Shuiyun Academy Palace is to determine the children of the outer gate who will participate in the selection of the royal city, and if they are unsuccessful, they can naturally go to participate in the selection by themselves.

But without the backing of the School Palace, it is unknown how the City Lord's Mansion will judge.

The first two rounds of screening for the second item of the outer gate selection took a full day to complete, and the final number of people who entered the elder group for interviews was only 200.

In the final round of interviews, half of the number of people will be eliminated, which shows the rigor of this selection.

Night had fallen, and the third round of selection could only be held on the second day.

But at this moment, the reception hall of the Shui Yun Xue Palace was brilliantly lit and crowded, and the high-level elders of the Shui Family Yun Family gathered here, and the palace master Shui Yingyue and Yun Da Elder Yun Cuiqing were no exception.

It's just because the Shuiyun Academy Palace has welcomed an important guest, this person's name is Dai Junting, who is from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Dai, you came to visit late at night, and you want me to convene the high-level officials of the Academy, I don't know what's going on?" Shui Yingyue sat in the main position, with an extraordinary bearing.

On the opposite side was a woman in black, who smiled coquettishly: "The Lord of the Water Palace is really polite, where am I worthy of the word adult, but I am just a messenger." At the order of the City Lord, I have come to inform the Water Cloud Palace Lord that this selection of the Royal City will be jointly discussed by the four major families and the three major palaces, and thirty direct promotion places will be selected to be divided among the seven major forces!"

Hearing this news, many of the elders present became excited, this is a great thing, if you can get enough places, then at least you can increase the chances of a disciple of the Academy Palace ascending to heaven in one step.

After all, even if nearly a thousand people from the Shuiyun Academy participated in the selection of the royal city, it was not necessarily possible for a few people to stand out from them, let alone the subsequent selection of the heir of the mainland.

"There is such a good thing!However, I don't know what the conditions are?" Shui Yingyue was also quite surprised, but she also knew that the City Lord's Mansion would not lose money and make money, and such benefits naturally needed to be paid, I am afraid that this time the City Lord's Mansion will open its mouth.

Dai Junting smiled slightly: "I'm a subordinate of the City Lord's Mansion, how can I know about this matter, it's just that I came to inform everyone in the Shuiyun Academy." Tomorrow at noon, I also invite the Lord of the Water Cloud Palace to go to discuss the important matter in person, and the City Lord will inform the details, please don't miss the appointment with the friends of the Water Cloud Palace!"

"That's nature!" replied Shui Yingyue.

"Then Dai will retire and bother you!" Dai Junting bowed and left.

When Dai Junting left, the reception hall was still not calm, and the elders of the two families were immersed in this good news, and a few people noticed the unusual taste.

Not only the Shuiyun Academy, but also the four major families and the other two university palaces were also invited, and the reactions of each family were also different.

Most of the four major families were disdainful, this city lord's mansion was really hard-winged, and he even took it upon himself to inform the four major families and the three great palaces to discuss together.

You must know that in the past, the City Lord's Mansion almost acted under the will of the four major families, and there were many people from the four major families in the City Lord's Mansion, and the people sent to inform this matter were all from their own families.

On the other hand, the situation of the Immortal Zhu School Palace and the Glaze School Palace is similar to that of the Shuiyun School Palace, most people are happy about it, but only some people are uneasy.

The next day, the selection of the Shuiyun Academy Palace came to the final round, and the elders asked questions one by one, and half of the remaining two hundred people were selected as the result of the selection of outer disciples.

And on this important day, the palace master Shui Yingyue is not here.

......

At noon, the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the brightly lit hall, there are eight figures sitting around the table, and the exquisite food on the table is mouth-watering, but the atmosphere on the table is not very good at the moment.

At this table, there are the eight people who speak the most weighty in the entire royal city, and all eight of them are women.

Among them, they were Luan Wenzhi, the lord of the royal city appointed by Queen Zhong Qingyin personally.

Among the four families:

Ai He, the head of the Ai family.

Guo Suqing, the head of the Guo family

Worship the head of the family and pay tribute to the night poem

Yeats, the head of the Ye family

Three University Palaces:

The palace master of the Water Cloud School Palace, Shui Yingyue

The palace master of the Stygian Palace

The glaze of the main scenery of the palace is glazed

The leaders of the seven giant forces of the royal city and the city lord of the royal city, all of them are sitting here at this moment, just to discuss the selection of the royal city that will be held in the near future.

Luan Wenzhi, who was dressed in luxurious robes, sat on the main seat, looking about thirty years old, but his cultivation in the later stage of the mountain realm was not weaker than the others present.

I saw her raise a glass in her hand and look at everyone with a smile: "I bother you to come today, one of which is to thank the four major families and the three university palaces, during my tenure in Luan, thanks to your care, this first glass of wine, I salute you first!"

Luan Wenzhi raised his wrist and drank all the wine in his hand.

But the other people present did not move at all, and had no idea of communicating with her, especially the heads of the four major families, who looked at her coldly, and they were all unhappy in their hearts.

Luan Wenzhi didn't seem to notice everyone's expressions, and there was no embarrassment at all, while pouring the wine in his cup, he said as if he was taking care of himself: "This second thing is the selection of the royal city in a few days, and I hope you will help you, after all, it is the queen's business, I dare not slack off as a subordinate, I thank you here in advance!"

With that, he drank the wine in his hand again.

The other seven people who were still indifferent, this girl had always behaved like this before, and she didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the four major families and the three university palaces.

But today, it seems that several people always feel unhappy, although her tone is calm, but that expression is different from the arrogance of the past, although it is the color of laughter, but there is an unattainable momentum. At this moment, everyone's hearts knew that she must have a plan.

"This third thing, I think you are very concerned. I will take out thirty places and directly divide them into the four major families and the three great palaces!"

This time, she didn't say anything more, she didn't pour herself any more drinks, and there was a smile on her face, but the smile was endlessly proud, and there was no trace of humility and respect.

"Luan City Lord, what do you want to do?" Guo Suqing, the head of the Guo family, was the first to ask, "We don't have time to talk to you here!

"It is worthy of being the head of the Guo family who was born as a businessman, refreshing!" Luan Wenzhi smiled slightly, "This quota naturally requires you to pay some price, after all, I can't do some loss-making business." Thirty places, naturally the highest bidder wins!"

Ai He, the head of the Ai family, said coldly: "Luan City Lord, this is ignoring the faces of our four major families, and he is going to tear his face with us?"

"Where is the Ai family master, if I didn't care about the four major families and the three great palaces, how could I take the initiative to bring up this matter? This is just a business, I hope you understand!" Luan Wenzhi said with a smile.

"Hmph! What if we don't buy it! Even if we don't have these things, my children can still shine in the selection competition!" Jing Yeshi, the head of the Jing family, snorted coldly.

"Jing the lord of the family is so courageous, however, this selection is the responsibility of my city lord's mansion, and if you can pass the selection, you don't count, I have the final say!" Luan Wenzhi looked at Jing Yeshi, "What's more, if you don't buy it, naturally someone will buy it, even if you join forces to boycott it, it is not excluded that some people will find me in private, and when the time comes, I am afraid that you will not be so resolute in resisting me." ”

Everyone looked at each other, they were all the leaders of the seven giant forces, if this matter went wrong, how would they face the family or the people of the school palace.

This is clearly thirty places here, even if no one says anything to buy today, but when they turn their heads, someone will secretly make a move, in this case, it is better to open the skylight and say something bright, and decide the ownership of the thirty places here.

What's more, as Luan Wenzhi said, the selection of this Wangcheng is up to the Wangcheng Mansion, if she really makes any stumbling blocks in it, it will be more than worth the loss.

This is no longer the city lord of Wangcheng who let the four major families point fingers, and this Wangcheng selection is the day when she raises her eyebrows. And the four major families and three university palaces happened to fall into her arms this time.

While everyone was still thinking, someone got up and walked to Luan Wenzhi's side, filled her wine glass, and then picked up her own wine glass.

"City Lord Luan is so generous and righteous, how can I, Guo Suqing, live up to the kindness of City Lord Luan!"

After saying that, the head of the Guo family drank all the wine in his hand, and saw that the other people present were stunned, and scolded in his heart: This profiteer is really cunning!
