Chapter 88: Invitation and Rejection
Huang Xuanling was a little stunned when he saw such a large group of people suddenly get up and greet a boy who is less than fifteen years old, and hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "Xuanling has seen Gongzi Xu, the head of the Duan family, Mr. Ou, and all the seniors! The kid is late, please forgive me!"
Seeing that Huang Xuanling was so young, he could behave appropriately and look calm in front of so many masters, and they all nodded secretly in their hearts, such a confident performance was in line with the demeanor of a half-step martial arts master. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Brother Huang, you're just in time!, please take a seat!" Xu Yandong and everyone in the Duan family warmly invited.
After that, a housekeeper led Huang Xuanling to the seat below Mr. Ou and sat down.
As his strength continued to grow, Huang Xuanling became more and more confident.
Since he came, Huang Xuanling was not polite, sat down generously, and talked and laughed with the head of the Duan family beside him, Xu Yandong and Mr. Ou.
Although Huang Xuanling lacks interest in entertaining, he has seen his father Huang Zhenhu pay guests since he was a child, and he has learned some entertainment skills under the influence of his ears and eyes.
At this time, Huang Xuanling looked like an old businessman who was used to the wine table, with generous manners and proper response, so that no one present dared to treat Huang Xuanling as a fifteen-year-old boy.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xu Yandong suddenly said to Huang Xuanling with a sincere face: "Xu is lacking a strong personal guard, and Brother Huang's strength is so strong that Xu admires! I wonder if Brother Huang intends to go to the county with me to develop?"
As soon as these words came out, the field suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Huang Xuanling with envy.
Among the eldest sons of the county guard, the dragon and phoenix, with average qualifications, could not enter the eyes of Xu Gongzi at all, but now he was personally invited, and his tone was so sincere, which showed how much Xu Gongzi attached importance to Huang Xuanling.
Huang Xuanling was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Xu Yandong would make a statement to solicit him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
However, Huang Xuanling finally understood the reason why the Duan family invited him this time!
Seeing Huang Xuanling's stunned look, Xu Yandong continued to agitate: "Brother Huang, don't worry, if you are willing to follow Xu, Xu will definitely not treat you badly, and Xu will definitely spare no effort to help Brother Huang and break through to the realm of Wuzun as soon as possible!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly boiled, entering the realm of martial arts is the dream of every martial artist, today Xu Yandong in order to recruit Huang Xuanling, actually gave such a tempting promise, even if everyone present is a big family with rich experience, but at this moment they are all excited, and they are even more envious of Huang Xuanling.
Huang Xuanling is also a little moved by Xu Yandong's promise, once he accepts Xu Yandong's solicitation, it will be of great help to himself and his family, with the county guard as a backer, the Huang family will definitely be able to walk sideways in the town and county in the future!
However, Huang Xuanling faintly felt that it was not his wish to enter the county guard mansion as a guard, as Xu Yandong's personal guard, he had to follow him every day, and there were great restrictions on his freedom.
This is not in line with Huang Xuanling's temperament, what Huang Xuanling wants is a feeling of freedom and unrestrainedness, and only under this feeling can he calmly think about the problems of cultivation.
What's more, Huang Xuanling still has many secrets on his body, if he enters the county guard's mansion, there are countless high-ranking people in the mansion, and it is very likely that someone will discover his secrets.
Huang Xuanling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Duan Gongzi is joking, Gongzi is already guarded by a martial artist like Mr. Ou, Xuanling's strength is low, I'm afraid I can't help Gongzi!"
When Xu Yandong heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "Brother Huang doesn't know, Mr. Ou is really my father's staff, and this time the bandits are in danger, so I invited Mr. Ou from my father to act as a guard this time!"
Even Mr. Ou, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth and said: "Our son is thirsty for talent, known as Suyang Meng Weijun, there are not a hundred or eighty capable diners in the house, if Huang Xiaoyou follows the son, the son will definitely not treat you badly!"
As a master of the martial arts level, Mr. Ou is usually serious and taciturn, but this time he rarely invited Huang Xuanling for Xu Yandong, which shows that he also attaches great importance to Huang Xuanling.
Everyone present looked at Huang Xuanling with straight eyes, and they couldn't wait to agree for Huang Xuanling immediately, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more!
Just when everyone thought that Huang Xuanling would nod and agree, they saw Huang Xuanling shaking his head and laughing: "Xuanling thanks Xu Gongzi and Mr. Ou for their kindness!
"What? He actually refused!" At this time, the head of the family, the elders, and the other clansmen all showed stunned expressions when they heard this, they didn't expect that Huang Xuanling would actually refuse Xu Yandong's invitation!
Fortunately, Huang Xuanling is not a child of their Duan family, otherwise everyone present would have stepped forward to give Huang Xuanling an ear scraper!
It is extremely stupid to turn down such a good opportunity!
Hearing Huang Xuanling's refusal, Xu Yandong, who was originally smiling, suddenly felt a big loss of face, his originally smiling face suddenly froze, his eyes stared at Huang Xuanling, and he didn't understand why Huang Xuanling refused such a tempting invitation.
The arena began to become silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Huang Xuanling had never encountered this situation, seeing everyone looking at him with doubts and regrets, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was still the same, and he responded to all changes with the same.
"Hahaha! Okay! Today, the important people of the Duan family gathered, which saved the old man a lot of hands!"
Just when the atmosphere at the scene became strange and tense, an old maniacal laugh suddenly came from outside the Duan Mansion, and then a gray figure leaped from the roof in the distance, and with just a few flashes, it had already come to the Duan family's banquet hall.
As soon as the old man entered the hall, he sat down on an empty seat, took a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp as soon as he tilted his head.
The old man was dressed in gray, his hair was gray, his face was gloomy, and his triangular eyes flashed from time to time.
Even Mr. Ou stood up suddenly, protected Xu Yandong behind him, and looked at the old man with a serious face.
As soon as this person appeared, everyone present in the Duan family suddenly became petrified, and they just stared blankly at the gray-haired old man in front of them.
When Huang Xuanling came to this old man, his eyes were also fixed, staring at the old man tightly. From this old man, Huang Xuan was inspired by a powerful aura that surpassed Mr. Ou, and it was obvious that this person's internal strength was still higher than that of Mr. Ou!
"Second Uncle, you are still alive!" all the elders of the Duan family exclaimed in unison after being surprised.
"Second uncle, after so many years, where have you been?" Duan Yuanheng, the head of the family, also said with a serious face.
