Chapter 32: The Four Stages
Lin Xuanxuan heard Gu Ruochen and Weiming's words clearly beside her.
She walked over and grabbed Gu Ruochen's hand, smiling like a flower, "Brother Gu, are you worried about affecting me, right?"
"This ......" Gu Ruochen hesitated, and finally nodded.
This must be deceived by her.
Lin Xuanxuan smiled even more happily.
Gu Ruochen is not afraid that something will happen to her, but he is afraid that something will happen to her.
To be able to get Gu Ruochen's such care, she felt that it was enough.
She laughed, "If being with you will only be a burden to you, then it will seem unnecessary for us to be together." β
"Brother Gu, I like to be with you, and I like what you do, I hope I am your lover, I also hope that I am your confidant, and I hope to be your right-hand man. β
"Life and death are broad, say with Zicheng, hold the hand of the son, and live with the son!"
Gu Ruochen listened to Lin Xuanxuan's words quietly, looking at her clear eyes, for the first time, Gu Ruochen felt that there seemed to be real love in the world.
Perhaps, love is not just a transaction, sleep and live a life, it really has a touching charm.
Gu Ruochen nodded heavily, stroked Lin Xuanxuan's hair with his fingers, and said, "Don't worry, I will do it, and you and I will protect it!"
Wei Ming on the side was accidentally shown off by Gu Ruochen and Lin Xuanxuan, he showed a look of disdain, and said, "Sour, sour!"
But although he said so, he really envied them in his heart.
"I have one more discovery. Unclear continued.
"What discovery?" Gu Ruochen asked.
"The Qingyun Club was held in Shenjian Villa, and Yi Tianhao opened an underground market for the Qingyun Club. β
"Yes, underground markets are not allowed, he is breaking the law!"
"Hasn't he been breaking the law? It's all trivial. It's just that I happened to see him persuade a twenty-five-year-old man to participate in this Qingyun meeting. β
"Persuade others to join the Qingyun Club?"
"Yes, it seems that the man's wife is seriously ill, and Yi Tianhao told the man that only the Soul Returning Pill can save his wife. β
"It's kind of interesting, do you know that man?"
"I don't know that man, but I know his daughter-in-law. β
"Oh?" Gu Ruochen and Lin Xuanxuan showed gossipy expressions at the same time.
"What do you think!" Wei Ming glared at them, "His daughter-in-law is Yi Tianhao's daughter." β
"Huh?" Gu Ruochen and Lin Xuanxuan had the same shocked expressions again.
Lin Xuanxuan was more aware of the affairs in the rivers and lakes, and said suspiciously: "Yi Tianhao has two daughters, the eldest daughter is married to the son of Hubu Shangshu, and the younger daughter is only ten years old, do you mean that the man is the son of Hubu Shangshu? No, isn't Hubu Shangshu's son already thirty years old?"
Wei Ming shook his head, "In addition to these two, Yi Tianhao also has a daughter." β
Lin Xuanxuan was surprised: "You mean the one who died nine years ago?"
In fact, she didn't die, she was expelled from the house by Yi Tianhao, and then released the news to the outside world, saying that she was dead. β
"What's wrong? I don't even recognize my daughter?" asked Lin Xuanxuan.
Weiming shook his head, "I don't know the specifics of this, I just had a few encounters with her and accidentally heard it." β
Gu Ruochen nodded.
It seems that this Excalibur Villa is really deep.
This time, if you want to deal with the Divine Sword Villa, you can't just fight directly like you did with the Fang family, you must investigate everything clearly.
Gu Ruochen glanced at it, this guy knew that he could get so much useful information in such a short period of time by secretly checking other people's account books, and his ability was extraordinary, and he was a usable person.
You have to nurture it well.
Gu Ruochen pretended to be cold and said, "You did a good job, then you continue to investigate the property situation of the Divine Sword Villa, and it is best to find out who he colluded with." β
"Yes. Wei Ming didn't dare to refuse, and turned around and left listlessly.
He walked to the door, and Gu Ruochen stopped him.
Gu Ruochen followed to the door, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Wei Ming, "I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, and I will not just let you do things." β
Weiming took the silver ticket, and his eyes shone with excitement.
One thousand taels of silver tickets!
This treatment is much better than his treatment in the Killer Organization.
However, although he was excited, he suppressed it and pretended to be disgusted: "That's the money, it's only enough for me to buy snacks, but it's good, it's better than nothing." β
As he spoke, he turned around and left, and the news was in Gu Ruochen's field of vision.
......
Early in the morning, Excalibur Villa.
Under the leadership of Xu Boyi, Gu Ruochen, Ah Liang and Lin Xuanxuan easily entered the Divine Sword Villa.
The Qingyun Club is not an ordinary selection competition, but a battle between talented teenagers, so the people who come to participate in this competition are quite famous figures in the rivers and lakes.
At this moment, the huge martial arts arena of the villa is crowded with people.
The battle between the genius teenagers is extremely eye-catching.
The morning bell rang, and Yi Tianhao, as the host, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech.
The content of the talks is all clichΓ©s, first thanking the court and the major factions for their trust, then counting the efforts made by the Divine Sword Villa for this Qingyun Meeting, and finally some words of blessing.
After giving a speech, Yi Tianhao began to explain the guests and contestants.
In terms of guests, the imperial court sent Shangshu and Xiao Renjie from the military department, and important figures from all major factions in the rivers and lakes also attended, including Xu Boyi.
In terms of contestants, a total of 64 people participated, of which 62 were on the Qingyun list, and two were unknown pawns.
One of these two is Yi Tianhao's son-in-law, but most people don't know it.
After Yi Tianhao's introduction, Gu Ruochen knew that Yi Tianhao's son-in-law was Jiang Liuyun, and another unknown player was called Qin Fang.
After introducing the guests and contestants, there was a speech by the head of the household, and after the head of the department finished speaking, he asked Xu Boyi to say a few words before starting the lottery competition.
On the first day, the first round of competition was held, with a total of 32 games, 16 in the morning and 16 in the afternoon.
There are eight rings on the stage, and eight fights are held at a time.
Gu Ruochen has no interest in those characters on the Qingyun list, the only one he is interested in is Yi Tianhao's son-in-law, Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Liuyun was competing in the "Dui" position, and his opponent happened to be a disciple of the Infinite Sect, that is, Lin Xuanxuan's sixth senior brother, called Nangong Xiao.
The people of the immeasurable faction, led by Xu Boyi, all came to the "exchange" position to cheer for Nangong Xiao.
Gu Ruochen was not familiar with Nangong, but fortunately, Lin Xuanxuan on the side gave him science in time.
Nangong Xiao is twenty-two years old this year, and his cultivation is the ninth order of Tongyou, and he ranks fifteenth on the Qingyun List.
Such cultivation is already a genius in the eyes of normal people.
According to the experience of predecessors, combined with the characteristics of cultivation, this continent divides the cultivation of a person's life into four important stages.
The first stage is before the age of sixteen. This stage is equivalent to the primary screening stage, some people still can't reach the first realm at the age of sixteen, these people basically have no chance to cultivate in this life, and a few geniuses can go to the third realm at the age of sixteen to wash the marrow.
Sixteen is a sign, and by the age of sixteen, no matter how precocious or late the person is, he has already understood that he is not the center of the world.
