Coming upstairs, Tan Lin led Bai Xiaolou into an elegant room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bai Xiaolou walked into the private room, only to see that a table had been set up in the private room, and the heads of the famous families had already taken their seats. Seeing Bai Xiaolou coming in, all the family heads nodded towards Bai Xiaolou.

"Hahahaha. Ladies and gentlemen, Brother Bai must know each other. It's just that Brother Bai is not too familiar with you. I'll introduce Brother Bai to you. ”

Tan Lin smiled before speaking, and enthusiastically introduced Bai Xiaolou one by one.

Bai Xiaolou was really not very familiar with the masters of the famous families, so he followed Tan Lin to say hello to the heads of the families one by one, and said "long admiration".

After this round of greetings, on the surface, everyone was full of spring breeze and very polite, but the colorful heart lotus in Bai Xiaolou's sea of knowledge faintly sensed the malice in the hearts of the family owners.

There's hatred, there's disdain, but more often than not, it's greed.

Unlike before, when he sensed Steward Sun's thoughts and heard Steward Sun's heart, this time Bai Xiaolou could only feel the malice in the other party's heart, but he couldn't hear the other party's heart.

Steward Sun is just an ordinary person, and these family heads are all cultivators above the seven knots, presumably the induction ability of the colorful heart lotus is related to the cultivation of the other party.

"Disdain comes from the arrogance in the heart of the lord of the noble family, and greed must be related to profit. But this hate ......"

Bai Xiaolou glanced at the source of hatred, and Zhang Jiazhi, who was sitting in front of him, glanced at Song Ming, but he was a little inexplicable in his heart, "Zhang Jia, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right? Why does he hate me?"

Coming to his seat and sitting down, Bai Xiaolou looked at everyone with a casual smile.

"Hehe, everyone, as the head of a famous family, we usually have a mess of mundane things, and it is rare to have time to get together, and it is also rare to be able to gather today. Come on, let's have a drink. ”

Tan Lin raised the wine bottle and raised a glass to everyone.

"Drink to win!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Alright. Master Tan, don't engage in these vain things. Everyone has limited time, so let's get straight to the point. ”

Zhang Songming put down the wine bottle and said impatiently.

"Hehe, what Brother Zhang said is very true. ”

The smile on Tan Lin's face did not diminish at all, but instead nodded towards Zhang Songming with approval on his face, "Since that's the case, I'll go straight to the point." It's the end of the year again. This annual selection of celebrities and celebrities still needs to come up with a charter. ”

"Was it for the Baume & Mercier selection?"

Bai Xiaolou already knew the reason for this rally.

The selection of Baume & Mercier is a measure to motivate scholars in the Great Chu State, and outstanding young scholars are selected from all over the country to become Baume & Mercier. In addition to fame and glory, there are also rewards from various cultivation resources.

If this is all there is to it, there is no need for the selection of celebrities to bother with the assembly and discussion of the heads of famous families.

There is another issue involved in the selection of celebrities in Liangcheng.

In the northwest of Liangcheng, there is a place called Shuiyunjian, which is shrouded in fog for many years, and only three days at the end of the year will dissipate the fog.

The terrain of this water cloud stream has a special climate, and the aura is also very strong, which can produce some rare elixirs and special spiritual materials. So there's a lot of interest at stake in this place.

However, this Shuiyun stream is located at the junction of Liangcheng County and Qiyin County. The scholars of the two counties have fought for this place for many years, and they have fought fiercely, but no one can help anyone. Later, an agreement was reached between the two county scholars. Every year, when the fog of Shuiyunjian dissipates, celebrities from two counties are sent to enter Shuiyunjian to win or lose based on the value of the elixir and spiritual materials harvested by both sides. The winner gets everything, and the loser gets nothing.

The elixir spiritual materials harvested by Shui Yunjian are all rare treasures. Even the nobles attach great importance to this harvest. Therefore, the benefits involved in the selection of celebrities and celebrities are greater.

"Charter?"

Zhang Songming glanced at Bai Xiaolou intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled, "We old guys are all old acquaintances who have dealt with each other for many years, and only the head of the Bai family is a fresh face." The head of the Bai family is young and promising, let's listen to the opinion of the head of the Bai family!"

"Hehe, Brother Zhang is right. ”

"That's true, the head of the Bai family is young and promising, and the old man admires it very much. ”

"The young hero of the Bai family must have unique opinions, so we naturally have to listen to them. ”

After Zhang Songming finished speaking, all the heads of the family echoed together.

"Sure enough, the finger was pointed at me. What kind of hatred does this Zhang Songming have with me?"

Bai Xiaolou frowned slightly, but the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. Seeing everyone's false praise and compliments, Bai Xiaolou nodded humbly, but secretly pondered in his heart, "Zhang Songming's words distinguish me from others in terms of age and friendship, is this to isolate me and then suppress me together?" Hehe, although I don't know what kind of enmity Zhang Songming has with me, but how can I let you get your wish. ”

"Huh. The seniors praised it falsely. The kid is young and knowledgeable, so he has no opinions. In such a major event as the selection of Baume & Mercier, of course, we must respect the opinions of our predecessors. ”

Bai Xiaolou smiled humbly, looking like he was all in charge.

Of course, Bai Xiaolou can't really be ruled by these people. If it was really up to them to decide, Bai Xiaolou would definitely not even be able to catch a single hair.

"I didn't fall for it, but I underestimated you!"

When Zhang Songming heard Bai Xiaolou's words, his brows raised, but the coldness in his eyes became heavier.

Originally, Zhang Songming thought that Bai Xiaolou was young, and he had the qualifications of the Golden Bell Nine Rings, plus the prestige of defeating the Liu family. Under the ambition of a young man, he will definitely give birth to arrogance. Once Bai Xiaolou points fingers and makes a lot of nonsense in front of everyone, it will definitely make everyone unhappy. When the time comes, it will be logical to contact everyone to suppress Bai Xiaolou together, but he didn't expect Bai Xiaolou to be fooled.

"Hehe, the head of the Bai family is too modest. ”

Tan Lin smiled and glanced at everyone, "There is actually not much trouble in the selection of this celebrity. All we have to discuss is the allocation of places. There are a total of ten places for the selection of Liangcheng celebrities. How these 10 places will be allocated is something that everyone has to come up with. ”

There are seven famous families, plus Bai Xiaolou, there are eight, but there are ten famous people. This inevitably leads to the question of how many places there are.

Bai Xiaolou replaced the status of the Liu family and became one of the famous families in Liangcheng. However, Bai Xiaolou's cultivation strength is not enough, and the second is a lonely person. In terms of the allocation of this place, he only asks for the one he should have, and he has no idea about the other places. After all, he was the only one himself, and even if he grabbed the extra places, no one would go.

However, Zhang Songming will inevitably make trouble.

Zhang Songming's inexplicable hatred, although Bai Xiaolou was a little confused, but since there was hatred, Zhang Songming would inevitably attack Bai Xiaolou, and it would be difficult to keep that place.

"The selection of Baume & Mercier is related to the victory or defeat of Shui Yunjian. If we win, we can all have a good year. If it fails, the loss will be great. Therefore, I think this celebrity must be carefully selected. ”

Zhang Songming picked up the wine bottle and shook it gently in his hand, his eyes swept towards Bai Xiaolou slightly, "If the cultivation is not enough, I don't think there is any need to waste the quota." It's better to give up the quota of the Bai family master. It is related to the benefits of everyone here, and presumably the head of the Bai family will know the general situation. Am I right, Master Bai?"

"Huh. What the head of the Zhang family said is not unreasonable. What does the Bai family master think?"

Tan Lin snorted and glanced at Bai Xiaolou with a smile.

Zhang Songming really got into trouble. I took the place of the Liu family and became a famous family, and the famous families here must not agree with me. Zhang Songming came with the will of the people, and if I directly spoke out against it, it would inevitably arouse the hostility of everyone, and the situation would be even more difficult. If you don't object, you won't have a place for it. It seems that there is a way to break the game. ”

Bai Xiaolou's face was still full of smiles, but he kept turning all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
