Chapter 276: The Price
In an inconspicuous mansion in the Terran gathering place in the Land of Trials, several old people sat together, as if they had encountered something difficult, and they were all a little worried. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What do you say you should do now, I'm not an afterthought, old hate, you're a little unsafe in doing this. When you found me, I said that this competition is of great significance, and you can't mess around, what did you promise me, you told me that your apprentice Huayang can throw Li Yuan a few streets. If you don't say so, can I promise you to support you in replacing Li Yuan?"
"What is the result? It's not enough to lift shoes for others, and now that the individual war against the human race has won, you said that if you lose tomorrow because Li Yuan didn't cooperate with the others, what will happen, those who were silent and opposed before will jump out. The old man in the brown robe who spoke gasped heavily, obviously not lightly.
Qiu Xiao lowered his head, held his hands tightly and didn't say anything. Speaking of which, Qiu Xiao is the highest status among these people, but everyone is an elder, and everyone respects you when you are usually fine, but now that something happens, no one cares about this.
He had nothing to say about this matter, but the other party's attitude still angered him. Now it's just a person under the roof, and he can't bear it, but he will definitely take revenge when he has the opportunity in the future.
The elder who spoke was called Liu Boding, and he was also a top family similar to the Xiao family. It's just that there are no amazing geniuses among the younger generation, so now the momentum is gradually suppressed by several others. The Xiao family didn't have any geniuses to carry the crown, who knew that Xiao Xiao would bring back such a demonic apprentice after going out once.
So when Qiu Xiao came to the door, he hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to Qiu Xiao's request to help him exert influence among the high-level of the human race. Originally, it was just to suppress the Xiao family and show a sense of existence by the way, who knew that things would turn out like this in the end.
Since Li Yuan defeated Huayang, their lives have not been very easy, but they can barely mix. Now that Li Yuan has actually defeated Xiao Qing, their lives have become even more difficult.
Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game, they will have a big loss, but it seems that the loss is greater after the defeat of the Terrans. At that time, a scapegoat will definitely be found, and Li Yuan will definitely not be taken out if he can defeat Xiao Qing, so these people are ready-made scapegoats.
If they win, everyone will be immersed in joy, and maybe the eyes of the people will not be on them, and even if the hostile forces take action, they will have room to turn around.
Now they have to pray for the victory of their enemies, which is humiliating to think about it.
"Okay, Lao Liu, you don't have to say a few words. The old hatred is not intentional, and we have not seen Huayang, among the younger generation, even Qin Tian was pressed by him. Coupled with the rapid progress of a month in the Holy Land, who knew that this Li Yuan was actually so strong. Seeing that Qiu Xiao's face was wrong, someone hurriedly came up to the round, now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, but there is no time to fight here.
Liu Dingbo himself knows that the reason why he said it is just to vent his anger in his heart.
For a while, the scene was a little quiet, Qiu Xiao looked up at it, and everyone was a little depressed. This time, from the moment Huayang lost to Li Yuan, he became extremely passive. If Li Yuan doesn't have any backers behind him, forget it, no matter how fierce the people below are, then they can't do anything.
But behind Li Yuan is the Xiao family, the Qin, Wei, and Lin families. Even the Yuan family, which had always been neutral before, faintly fell to these families. In addition, with only one action, they did not care about Venerable Wang Xian's face at all, so it can be said that they had no room to fight back before Venerable Wang Xian changed shifts.
"If you really can't do it, you can only beg the other two sages, and pay a little price for buying and selling old faces. "When the old man who played the round before was called Zhang Sheng, his family was not big, and he had no place in the Terran Council at all. But this person has a wide connection, especially the relationship with several sages, and his strength is not weak, so everyone has to give him a little face.
This is also the reason why he will take the initiative to come out to play a round, and the reason why he will be moved by Qiu Xiao's words is also because Qiu Xiao promised him to help his family find a place in the parliament after the matter is completed.
If this turmoil has greatly reduced their power in the council, it will be even more difficult for their family to squeeze in, so they must find a way to save them.
"Brother Zhang is right, at this time, everyone should not complain to each other, let's solve the problem by finding a solution. We old guys still have a bit of face, and this time it seems that we can only sell face. "Unlike the previous life, this world is respected by the strong after all, and ordinary people do not have much will to resist, as long as the upper class is resolute, the people's voices are useless.
"Is it useful to buy face, there are really a lot of high-level people who are dissatisfied with us this time. Those who didn't deal with us in the first place don't care, they always go against us. The most important thing is those who have been neutral before, and their attitude is the most important. What's more, this time we didn't give Venerable Wang Xian any face, and after he hinted at it, he still dealt a ruthless hand to Li Yuan, with him in his way, I am afraid that several other sages will not collide with him for this matter. Liu Dingbo didn't have the courage to scold Qiu Xiao angrily at the beginning at this time, and shook his head a little helplessly and sighed.
Zhang Shengshi was also silent, although he had a good relationship with the two sages, but if he wanted to let them collide with another sage for himself, he knew that it was impossible, and he was just holding a little extravagant hope before.
"Venerable Wang Xian hand it over to me, pull down your face and beg him, after so many years of friendship, is it possible that he can still watch me die. Qiu Xiao finally spoke, he knew that he would trap a few people this time, and I am afraid that there would be nothing to say in the future.
Several people glanced at each other, and they all knew that Qiu Xiao had a good relationship with Wang Xian before, and the two could be regarded as a thousand-year-old friendship. Although it is not a friend of life and death, it is still a little related, and it would be great if this time the matter could be resolved.
Of course, they didn't expect to pay nothing at all, just the difference between paying more and paying less. If there is no weight to fight in the round, they will even be purged from the council, which will definitely be a great blow to their family.
Even if the matter passes in the end, the people who remain in the council will definitely have to clamp their tails and be people, and they will definitely not be as arrogant as before.
