Chapter 51: Master of the Sword Gate
Children of well-educated top families like this usually have good self-cultivation.
"Thick-skinned?" Zhang Xiwen said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Lin Gongzi seems to have misunderstood me, but in fact, I admire Gongzi's amazing medical skills and outstanding martial arts." ”
"Really?" Lin Chen said, "Ming people don't say dark things, you might as well say whatever you want to do." ”
Because Lin Chen noticed that Xiao Biqing's face was pale, and she seemed to be angry.
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to make up for my regrets," Zhang Xiwen crossed his hands and sat down slowly, "I won't tell you anything, before I came, the ancestor of the family had already confessed." If Miss Nine doesn't care about the previous unhappiness and marries into our family according to the marriage contract, then the Zhang family will give a certain amount of reward. ”
"What kind of return? It's probably tempting, isn't it?" the corners of Lin Chen's mouth raised an indifferent arc.
"Lin Gongzi is really a genius, you can guess it!" Zhang Xiwen laughed and said, "There are two conditions offered by the ancestors, the Zhang family will fully support the second miss of the Xiao family to compete for the new head of the family, and will not hesitate to throw in all the resources; second, if the second miss succeeds and I marry Miss Nine as I wish, then I myself will become the only candidate for the next master of the Zhang family......
The Zhang family in Zhucheng and the Xiao family in Yandu are almost at the same level in strength.
The common problem of big families is that there are many young descendants, and in the huge Zhang family, there are several young talents like Zhang Xiwen.
Everyone is kind on the surface, but secretly they are fighting fiercely.
Therefore, the conditions offered by the ancestors of the Zhang family are indeed difficult to refuse.
I'm afraid it was precisely because of this that Xiao Biqing was a little hesitant and didn't immediately drive this person away.
She also sincerely hopes that her own sister can take charge of the family.
"You can discuss this matter with the two young ladies of the Xiao family, you don't need to tell me. Lin Chen said indifferently.
"No, no, no, that's not good, Lin Gongzi is the key to it," Zhang Xiwen continued, "The old ancestor is willing to make such a condition, but also because he trusts Lin Gongzi's peerless medical skills and wants to make a big gamble." ”
Lin Chen took a sip of iced soda, still silent.
"In my opinion, Miss Nine may not be willing to marry you sincerely," Lin Chen smiled slightly, "In addition, even if your Zhang family does not support Second Miss Xiao Hongling, she will have a chance to be promoted to the head of the family." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Biqing nodded decisively.
"That's right, surnamed Zhang, you're going to die of this heart!" Xiao Biqing said indifferently.
Zhang Xiwen seemed to have expected it, and his face still did not change.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," Zhang Xiwen said with a smile, "The old ancestor also said that he has shown the greatest kindness, if you don't appreciate it, he has no choice but to support the eldest son of the Xiao family, the one called Xiao Qingyun." ”
"Whatever, you can support whoever you want, you don't have to report to me. Lin Chen said helplessly.
It was Xiao Biqing, and a trace of worry appeared on her pretty face.
Xiao Qingyun, as the eldest grandson and the eldest brother of the younger generation, is already forty-five years old, in charge of many industries of the Xiao family, has very rich experience in the business world, and has a lot of prestige.
In fact, in the Xiao family, the highest voice of the original successor head of the family was Xiao Qingyun.
It's just that this big brother may have waited too long and is already a little impatient.
He once rushed to his grandfather Xiao Zhenyue to question and roar after a drunken time, trying to force the old man to abdicate and make way for Xian, which caused the dissatisfaction of the helmsman, so he was snubbed.
In other words, if the Zhucheng Zhang family supports Xiao Qingyun and opens up some joints, it may be able to reverse the dissatisfaction of the current head of the family, and he is Xiao Hongling's biggest opponent.
Of course, the two young ladies of the Xiao family did not tell Lin Chen about these things.
Lin Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the disputes in their family, and didn't want to get involved too much, after all, he was an outsider.
"Please think twice, I'm very patient, just wait for news here. ”
Zhang Xiwen took care of himself, picked up a skewer of roast lamb, but didn't see it at all, and ate it deliciously.
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Biqing.
Xiao Biqing understood, walked to the corner, took out her mobile phone and called her sister.
After a while, she walked back again, as if relieved.
The second sister said that she listened to Lin Gongzi for everything. Xiao Biqing said.
"That's okay, let this kid fuck off," Lin Chen waved his hand, "For no other reason, I don't like little white faces, especially the kind of self-righteousness." ”
Zhang Xiwen swallowed slowly, finished the skewers in his hand, and then stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
He looked at Lin Chen condescendingly, not only was he not disappointed, but a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.
"I'm not afraid to tell you," Zhang Xiwen said slowly, "When I came, I thought about all the possibilities. And, I hired a special helper, hoping that he will 'convince' you. ”
While speaking, Zhang Xiwen bowed respectfully into the woods not far away.
"Please invite the master of the 'Badaomen', Lord Cheng Yuan. Zhang Xiwen said solemnly.
Xiao Biqing's face changed.
Ning Hui'er was also so frightened that her jade hand trembled, and the lemonade in her hand was all spilled.
The owner of the "Badaomen"?
Sounds amazing!
No wonder this Zhang Xiwen has no fear! It turns out that he has the support of a master!
Immediately afterwards, a green-shirted man walked out, he had a beard, his facial features were handsome, his hands were empty, and he was not carrying any weapons.
This person was about thirty years old, and his body was very bookish, and he looked like a scholar in the old days.
Who would have thought that he would be the master of the Ancient Martial Sect, the kind with extremely high force value.
As soon as Lin Chen saw him, a feeling of extreme danger rose in his heart.
Cheng Yuan should have hit the innate realm, and then failed.
However, even so, his martial arts realm has surpassed the peak of the day after tomorrow, and he is still a little short of breaking through.
Generally speaking, the ancient martial arts world refers to this kind of person as a half-step innate master.
"It's coming so fast!" Lin Chen frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that after killing Chen Zijin and severely invading Huang Kun, it didn't take long for him to alarm the owners of other people's doors.
You must know that the master of the door is the pillar of the ancient martial forces, the role of the Dinghai God Needle, usually sitting in the sect, and will not come out easily.
But the Zhang family in Zhucheng invited, Cheng Yuan definitely wanted to give face, if it wasn't good, the two families had already colluded together.
Cheng Yuan walked over unhurriedly, his eyes scanning Lin Chen, as if he was very interested.
"Young man, you are very good," Cheng Yuan nodded approvingly, "I heard that your medical skills are extremely good, but this seat looks at your talent is not bad, before you killed the people of the 'Greedy Wolf Palace' with a knife, this seat has seen the whole process, the level is quite good, compared to you, those disciples under this seat are all as stupid as dogs, stupid as pigs!"
"Master Cheng came all the way from afar just to praise me?" Lin Chen crossed his arms.
"Of course not," Cheng Yuan said again, "The Zhang family in Zhucheng used to be kind to this seat, and as a person, you must know how to repay it, so this seat is here...... Now, you have two choices, the first is to join the 'Badaomen', and then worship this seat as a teacher, and the next master of the sect will be you. The second option is to refuse this seat and be killed immediately. ”
When he said this, the temperature around him seemed to be a few degrees colder.
Zhang Xiwen had already grinned and laughed silently.
Dare to disobey Lao Tzu, I won't kill you now!
Xiao Biqing and Ning Hui'er both looked at Lin Chen with nervous expressions, not knowing how he chose.
Lin Chen straightened his chest, and his face was still very calm.
"As for me, don't choose either," Lin Chen said word by word, "Your strength does surpass me, but you can't decide my fate yet." ”
"Really?" Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, his face became gloomy, "I've seen a lot of geniuses, but more have died halfway." This seat will finally give you a chance, kneel down and repent, and take refuge in the 'Badaomen', I hope you don't make mistakes!"
This time.
Cheng Yuan's tone was already unusually cold.
Although he hadn't made a move yet, the terrifying killing intent had already enveloped a radius of several feet.
A thought surged inexplicably in everyone's hearts, in such a short distance, it would be easy for Cheng Yuan to kill anyone he wanted, just a blink of an eye.
"Lin Gongzi, don't be stubborn, okay? Bow your head and be soft, hello, hello, hello, everyone. Zhang Xiwen teased, "Thanks to the master of the door who looks up to you and wants to promote you, that is your glory!"
"Glory, what are you kidding, you think too low of me. Lin Chen said disdainfully.
"Since that's the case, then you will die!" Cheng Yuan was furious.
