Chapter 1061: Becoming a Guest
After talking about what kind of achievements the clansmen needed to achieve, the Chen family elder on the high platform talked about some things that all the clansmen needed to pay attention to during the Divine Sword Martial Arts Meeting. Because this year's Divine Sword Martial Arts is presided over by their Chen family, it is no longer as simple as just participating in the competition, in order to ensure that there will be no mistakes during the big competition, the Chen family elders clearly require each clan member to be strict with themselves and not to do things that will cause trouble to the family.
For this reason, the Ten Elders, who had just fought with Lin Xuanzhong, also specially talked about why Chen Wenhao and their rewards were cancelled, and regarded the punishment of Chen Wenhao as a warning to other clansmen.
And for such a long time, Lin Xuanzhong, who had been thinking about his own problems intermittently, already had a general plan. Until there is a way to secure a way out of Excalibur City, everything is low-key.
"That's the end of today's morning meeting, let's all get busy. ”
Everything that should be said has been said, and next, all the Chen family members must make relevant preparations for the Divine Sword Martial Arts.
When the personnel were disbanded, Chen Wenhao and Lin Xuanzhong talked about the various benefits of being a guest of their Chen family, and at the same time led Lin Xuanzhong to the Chen family's elders' house.
When he got there, Lin Xuanzhong saw the arrogant and domineering Ten Elders again, still with that lofty posture, and the temperament of the left minister of the Blue Kingdom that Lin Xuanzhong had seen when he was in the Blue City, but Lin Xuanzhong never understood why he was a family elder who could be arrogant to such an extent, and he was obviously ranked lower but had a higher status than other elders.
After the other party finished saying what he should do as a guest of the Chen family, and the rules that should be followed, Lin Xuanzhong and Chen Wenhao left the elder's house, and then Chen Wenhao led the way, and the two of them went to a courtyard distributed by the ten elders to Lin Xuanzhong.
In the area where other guest secretaries of the Chen family live, even if a big family like the Chen family still has insufficient manpower, those guest secretaries are senior personnel of the Chen family who come to do things for them, and it has long been a tradition to recruit some guest secretaries to fill the façade, regardless of good or bad, at present, there are more than a dozen guest secretaries in the Chen family's mansion, all of whom are high-level martial cultivators, and some even hold the position of elders, and they are already regarded as external personnel of the Chen family.
According to Chen Wenhao's introduction, those guest ministers were generally born poor, and later became seventh-order martial cultivators after a certain amount of hard work, but it was difficult to break out of the future by relying on their personal strength, so they could only defect to these family forces to have a future.
For those people, it is more decent to be a guest secretary of a big clan, because usually the forces they serve will give them an identity that can satisfy them, of course, being a guest secretary of a big clan is not as simple as running for a name, sometimes you have to do some things for others, not just to give others a façade.
In addition, Keqing is also divided into grades, but it is not judged by strength, but by how much credit they have, to put it simply, the stronger the ability, the higher the status, and the better the corresponding treatment. According to Chen Wenhao's account, those who could be guest elders were all people who had sacrificed their lives for their Chen family. Of course, what Chen Wenhao said has little to do with Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Xuanzhong just wants to find a way out.
After the two of them arrived at the courtyard that was given to Lin Xuanzhong above, they were idle, and Chen Wenhao told Lin Xuanzhong in detail about the Divine Sword Martial Arts. Considering that the above elder might let Lin Xuanzhong participate in the competition, Chen Wenhao felt that it was necessary to make it clear to Lin Xuanzhong, and the reason why Lin Xuanzhong listened patiently was purely to obtain more information in order to make some decisions.
After Chen Wenhao talked about one thing after another, Lin Xuanzhong learned more and more information, but there was not much that was really useful to him.
In order to let Lin Xuanzhong understand it at one time, Chen Wenhao said that his mouth was dry, and a pot of water was drunk by one of them, but even this was not enough, so Chen Wenhao asked the maid who was specially allocated to Lin Xuanzhong to make a new pot of tea.
"Brother Lin, it's not a secret, in my opinion, the elder asked you to be the Chen family's guest secretary probably to let you participate in the Divine Sword Martial Arts, because every time the Divine Sword Martial Arts will have a special quota for the guest qing. ”
"If you can perform well in the martial arts competition, the elders above will definitely give you a rich reward," Chen Wenhao finally got to the point after a long speech, "Although there are only three places, each place is very sought-after, so Brother Lin may have to fight for a clear amount if he wants to participate." If Brother Lin still has no interest in participating in the Divine Sword Martial Arts, Chen will send Brother Lin out even if he has to face the heavy punishment above. ”
Since he hadn't thought that the elders above would embarrass Lin Xuanzhong, and remembered that the ten elders had said something about their cancellation of rewards before, Chen Wenhao felt quite sorry for Lin Xuanzhong. Because if they hadn't brought Lin Xuanzhong into the Chen Mansion, Lin Xuanzhong wouldn't have to face these things.
"Lin Feng, you are completely famous in our Chen family, everyone is discussing you!" As he was talking, Chen Wenyu came in with a group of people, men and women, and a few people he didn't know, who seemed to be admiring him. Before entering the door, Chen Wenyu, who was walking in front, shouted, and the startled Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly looked out of the door.
"I've seen Your Excellency," as soon as they entered the door, those who wanted to get to know Lin Xuanzhong greeted Lin Xuanzhong one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what the situation is now, after getting up and returning the salute, Lin Xuanzhong glanced at Chen Wenyu who was smiling with some anger, dissatisfied with the other party bringing so many people over.
"They are all children of my Chen family, and after seeing Brother Lin's heroic appearance today, they all want to come over and get to know Brother Lin," Chen Wenyu smiled, not noticing the anger that flashed in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, but enthusiastically talked about the intentions of those people.
Originally, he and Chen Wenhao hadn't made things clear, but seeing that they couldn't talk about it anymore, Lin Xuanzhong could only shift his attention to those unfamiliar faces, "A few of you, please take a seat." ”
After sighing, Lin Xuanzhong showed a bit of demeanor, but he didn't fully understand the current situation. Looking at it again, there were obviously more people than chairs, and Lin Xuanzhong was very embarrassed.
"Brother Lin don't have to be polite, a few of us just came to get to know Brother Lin," among the others, an older man smiled and relieved Lin Xuanzhong's embarrassment, and then continued: "My name is Chen Wenbo, and this is Chen Wenjing......"
Not long after, the man named Chen Wenbo very politely introduced the visitors to Lin Xuanzhong one by one, and his polite tone did not make Lin Xuanzhong feel any dissatisfaction.
"A few people came to visit, Lin is deeply honored," smiled and said politely, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes stopped on the woman named Chen Wenjing, remembering that he seemed to have heard this name before.
"Brother Lin, we are just some ordinary people," Chen Wenbo smiled, and then continued: "Please forgive me for daring to ask if Your Excellency is a member of the Feng family of the former Daqi Principality?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I saw your Excellency's body like a ghost before, coming and going, so ethereal and agile, like the rumored Feng Ling Bu, and the Feng Ling Bu is the ancestral practice of the Feng family of the former Daqi Principality. ”
"I see, but I'm not from the Feng family. ”
"Then Your Excellency is a member of the Lin family of the Qingyuan Great Kingdom?"
"Please advise me as well. ”
"Your Excellency's body method seems to be light and agile, but in fact it is calm and abnormal, every step is stepping on the wind and clouds, like a dragon walking and a tiger's step, like thunder, so I feel that your body method may be the thunder step of the Lin family. ”
Another surprising narrative, from the other party's words, in addition to hearing the other party's knowledge, Lin Xuanzhong also had an idea, it seems that as long as he said that he used a certain footwork, he could prove where he came from, and this method would be very good for proving his origin.
"Your Excellency has seen and heard a lot, Lin admires it, but it is true that he was born in the realm of chaos," After a brief consideration, Lin Xuanzhong decided to try his best to confuse his vision first, so that those people could not speculate about his origin.
"Fang Cai is just guessing randomly, and please don't mind Brother Lin," Chen Wenbo smiled, and did not comment on Lin Xuanzhong's answer, just like hearing their elders say that they only used seventy percent of their strength before, in their opinion, if it were not for the similar strength of the two sides, it would not have been possible to have a draw, so whether their elder's words were credible or not, clear-eyed people actually knew very well.
"That's nature," smiling slightly, Lin Xuanzhong was already thinking about whether he was from the Qingyuan Great Country, if that was the case, it would really be fate. The original position of the main general was obtained from the confrontation with the Qingyuan Great Power, and now if he finds out that he is a person from the Qingyuan Great Power, it is really a problem. Moreover, Chen Wenbo's description just now is consistent with the facts, the eight desolate steps seem to be light, but in fact, every step is calm and abnormal, but because the speed is too fast, it makes people feel light.
"I am fortunate to meet Brother Lin today, Chen is deeply honored, and there is a lot of disturbance, Chen said goodbye," a conversation is said standing up, this way of communication is indeed embarrassing, so after learning what he wants to know, Chen Wenbo said goodbye directly to Lin Xuanzhong.
"A few people go slowly," After sending Chen Wenbo and a few others away, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to find that the woman named Chen Wenjing stayed, just now he was thinking about the other party's name to make him familiar, when he saw Chen Wenjing standing next to Chen Wenyu, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly remembered who the woman was.
"Brother Lin, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my sister Wen Jing," smiled and greeted Lin Xuanzhong, who turned around, Chen Wenyu hurriedly greeted the woman, "Wen Jing, I haven't seen Lin Feng yet." Holding the woman's hand, Chen Wenyu enthusiastically pulled the woman in front of Lin Xuanzhong.
"Fortunately," the playful face in front of him didn't show any quietness at all, and the age didn't seem to be twenty-eight years old as Chen Wenyu said, but Lin Xuanzhong was very surprised that the other party was a seventh-order martial arts cultivator, but he didn't expect Chen Wenyu to have such an outstanding sister.
