Chapter 38: Solicitation

Hearing this, Yan Xuerou smiled lightly, showing cute little dimples on her little face, blinking her slender eyelashes and saying, "Okay! I'll go and talk to Brother Ling Chen." ”

Then, under the gaze of several people, Yan Xuerou left the pharmacy and went to the room where Yi Guanming was.

"Hoo ......"

Yi Guanming sat cross-legged on the bed, cold sweat broke out on his face, and the large expansion of his divine thoughts made him suffer a lot, but he finally survived. Immediately exhaled a breath of turbidity, wiped the sweat off his face, and showed a hint of joy in his complexion, the cultivation of the first layer of "Three Inch Divine Thoughts" finally had a good result, reaching the stage of Dacheng.

Now, Yi Guanming has a better understanding and control of the power of his divine thoughts, and he can retract and release it freely, without the slightest sense of stagnation when using it.

With a wave of his hand, a relatively transparent cloud of energy appeared directly in his hand, emitting terrifying fluctuations, and the violent path in it seemed to be about to be released immediately.

"Brother Ling Chen, can I come in?"

At this moment, a slight knock on the door sounded, followed by Yan Xuerou's delicate voice.

"Cheryl, please come in!"

As soon as Yi Guanming's divine power was collected, he instantly dispersed the energy light cluster in his hand, and at the same time responded loudly.

Then, Yan Xuerou pushed the door in, came to Yi Guanming's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Ling Chen, there is a guest in the hall, that person is grandpa's old friend, but he named and told grandpa that he wanted to see you." Grandpa asked me to come over and ask for your opinion, do you want to see him!"

Yi Guanming got up slowly, looked at Yan Xuerou's smiling little face, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Since it is Uncle Yan's old friend, of course I want to see it." Let's go and see. ”

Immediately, while talking, the two left the room together and walked towards the pharmacy where Yan Ding was.

Walking through the courtyard, Yi Guanming followed Yan Xuerou into the small pharmacy, his eyes swept over the three relatively unfamiliar figures, and then fell on Yan Ding, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Yan, are there distinguished guests?"

Yan Ding bowed slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Ling Chen, you're here." Come, let me introduce to you, this is Zheng Hai's housekeeper, from the Zheng family in Qingyang City. ”

Under Yan Ding's introduction, Yi Guanming arched his hand towards Zheng Hai and said, "I've seen Steward Zheng, it's polite!"

Yan Ding pointed at Yi Guanming and introduced to Zheng Hai with a smile: "Steward Zheng, this is my nephew Ling Chen. ”

Looking at Yi Guanming, who had an extraordinary temperament, Zheng Hai hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Yi Gongzi, it is indeed a young man, I am fortunate to be lucky!"

Yi Guanming responded politely: "Steward Zheng has won the award." I heard Xue Rou say, you want to see me, I don't know what is the matter?"

Zheng Hai narrated: "Since everyone is an old man, I won't hide it, I can't hide it, my Zheng family urgently needs to find some young heroes to represent our Zheng family to participate in the upcoming martial arts conference in Qingyang City." What this martial arts conference requires is that young warriors under the age of 30 from each family participate in the association, with a maximum of three people from each family, regardless of origin, to compete for the top three. And a few days ago, Yi Gongzi showed his might in front of the Drifting Snow Building, and this scene happened to be seen by us in the teahouse, so we didn't want to miss a young man like Yi Gongzi, so we wanted to invite Yi Gongzi to join our Zheng family, become our guest, and represent us to participate in this martial arts conference and win the top three rankings. ”

Yi Guanming said with a slight surprise in his tone: "Oh, the martial arts conference of Qingyang City?"

Zheng Hai smiled indifferently, looked at Yi Guanming and said slowly: "That's right, the martial arts conference in Qingyang City is held by the City Lord's Mansion, once every five years. And at each conference, the rewards for the top three items are not ungenerous. If Yi Gongzi participates, he will definitely be able to win one of the rankings and get these rich rewards. As long as Yi Gongzi can achieve the top three rankings, in addition to being able to get the rewards of this martial arts conference, our Zheng family will also thank each other heavily, and promise that Yi Gongzi will not be allowed to make this trip worthwhile. ”

Yi Guanming asked calmly: "If I participated in this martial arts conference, helped your Zheng family win the ranking, and obtained the rewards of this conference, wouldn't your Zheng family gain nothing? Could it be that you spent so much effort to let me participate just to gain a false name?"

Zheng Hai replied loudly: "Yi Gongzi doesn't know, this martial arts conference is actually a means used by the City Lord's Mansion to shuffle the forces of Qingyang City, every time the top three families in the martial arts conference can get the favor and support of the City Lord's Mansion, so that they can get more resources in Qingyang City, so as to grow rapidly and overwhelm the others! Therefore, this is the important significance of the top three rankings, and it is also the reward that the major families really value." As for those generous rewards on the surface, although they are precious, they are not so important compared to the interests of the major families. ”

Yi Guanming smiled slightly: "I see. But I'm a little sorry, I'm not interested in these senseless battles in the next place, and I may be disappointed by Steward Zheng, Steward Zheng, you might as well ask for another master!"

Hearing this, Zheng Hai's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Isn't Yi Gongzi looking down on our Zheng family?"

Yi Guanming smiled gently, and said loudly: "Steward Zheng is serious, I really don't like these battles personally, and I don't care about these rewards. ”

Zheng Hai couldn't help frowning, and continued to persuade: "If Gongzi Yi has a request, just put it forward, as long as my Zheng family can do it, I will try my best to meet you." ”

Just as Yi Guanming was about to continue refusing, Yan Dingshang's expression was slightly solemn and asked, "Steward Zheng, I wonder if Yaowangtang and the Cai family will participate in this martial arts conference?"

Yan Ding's sudden question made Zheng Hai stunned at first, and then his face was a little gloomy and said: "As the main constituent force of Qingyang City, they naturally won't miss such a grand event. In the previous martial arts conference, it was the Cai family who won our Zheng family by luck and won the third place in the conference. And over the years, they have enjoyed the benefits of the support of the City Lord's Mansion and have been pressing us. So with sweetness in front of them, they will definitely not give up this time. ”

Yan Ding asked again: "Then what is the relationship between these two families and your Zheng family now?"

Zheng Hai sighed softly, "To be honest, because of Ling Lang's affair, the Cai family has always been a new child to my Zheng family, and our two families still have friction until now, and the relationship is relatively stiff." And because of the special relationship between the Cai family and Yaowangtang, Yaowangtang didn't treat my Zheng family very well. ”

Hearing Zheng Hai mention what happened to his son back then, the corners of Yan Ding's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and his huge palms were also a little trembling, but fortunately, there were sleeves to cover them, and everyone didn't notice it.

Yan Ding forcibly suppressed the flames rising in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "The Cai family is really too deceitful! In the past, Cai Lu used dishonorable means to seize the position of the hall master of the Medicine King Hall and assassinate my son. If you hadn't secretly helped me at that time, I'm afraid that the Medical Pavilion would not exist today. The state of your Zheng family today is completely because of my involvement, and I am sorry for you!"

Zheng Hai couldn't help but sigh and said: "Old Yan is serious, with the relationship between my family's third son and Ling Lang, our Zheng family will definitely not stand idly by." Although I was angry about what happened back then, I was humble and couldn't help a lot, which is really a pity. However, now that the Cai family is powerful, and Cai Lu, the master of the Medicine King Hall, is secretly targeted, even if we are the Zheng family, we can only swallow our anger. ”

Hearing this, Yan Ding's eyes couldn't help but reveal deep anger, gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, Ling Chen, I hope you agree to Steward Zheng to participate in this martial arts conference, as for ......"

Before Yan Ding finished speaking, Yi Guanming already understood what he meant, and immediately interrupted: "Uncle Yan, you don't have to say it, Ling Chen understands, just leave this matter to me." ”

Then, Yi Guanming glanced at Zheng Hai deeply and said with a smile: "Steward Zheng, I participated in this martial arts conference, and I will complete your business! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Hai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Is what Young Master Yi said true?"

Yi Guanming smiled gently: "Of course, I just don't know when this martial arts conference starts?"

Zheng Hai said slowly: "A month later, it will be held in the central school training ground of Qingyang City. At that time, any local family who has registered with the Castle Lord's Mansion before this month will be able to participate. ”

Yi Guanming nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Okay, I will go to Qingyang City to find Steward Zheng two days in advance, and I will participate in this martial arts conference on behalf of the Zheng family." ”

Zheng Hai said with joy on his face: "Thank you Gongzi Yi, then I, Zheng Hai, will sweep the banquet in the Zheng Mansion and wait for you to come, Gongzi Yi!"

Seeing such a situation, Yan Ding's face also softened, and the impression of Yi Guanming in his heart instantly changed a lot, and now it is a little pleasing to the eyes when he looks at this kid.

"Is there anyone in this broken medical hall? Get out of here quickly! Otherwise, Uncle Ben will demolish this broken medical hall today!"

However, at this moment, when Zheng Hai and the others were in a relatively happy mood, a loud cheer came from outside the house, making everyone's faces instantly become a little ugly, and a trace of cold light couldn't help but reveal a trace of cold light in their eyes.
