Chapter 52: The Foreseeable Future
Guan Xingshan moved a chair and sat in front of the door of the conference hall, holding a tablet in his hand and swiping around there.
Although he promised Bai Xiaoyu to ensure the safety of Sun Ya's family before the election of the successor of the Wolf family ended, he still had to deal with the various family affairs of the Hu family.
Now the entire Hu family is in a mess because of his chaos, if Guan Xingshan hadn't been promoted to the strongest king, he might not have been able to suppress the board members of the Hu family.
When Guan Xingshan kept fighting with the board of directors of the Tiger family with the tablet, Jiang Xin, the direct heir of the Crane family, came to him.
"Master Guan, I rushed over as you ordered."
Jiang Xin... The third heir of the Crane family, Guan Xingshan was actually not familiar with him, but asked the Crane family to send someone who could transfer the relics.
Hejia's main field is biomedicine, followed by public media and network operation... In an era when the lord of this world needs to rely on online media to draw energy, the field that the Crane family is good at is actually not much weaker than the two arms dealers of the Wolf family and the Tiger family.
"Master Guan, why don't you go in and sit?"
When Jiang Xin arrived, he saw that the dignified Hu family's acting head was sitting in the corridor to deal with official business, Jiang Xin wanted to directly ask the wolf family, how do you entertain distinguished guests?
"......" Guan Xingshan glanced back at the conference room behind him, and after a long time, he held back a sentence that made Jiang Xin stunned, "Wife can't do it." ”
"Huh..."
Jiang Xin noticed that there was another person standing in the conference room, it was Sun Ya, the well-known iron-blooded queen of the Wolf Family's decision-making department and the Security Bureau.
Thinking about it like this, it's really lonely men and widows staying in the same room, even if there is really nothing to spread the rumors, it's not good.
"Don't stand here stupidly, take this thing and return it to your Crane family."
Guan Xingshan took out a stone tablet branded with the golden dragon light mark from his body and threw it to Jiang Xin.
"Doesn't the Tiger family have a direct bloodline that is not fully qualified for this traverser's brand?" Jiang Xin took the slate relic and weighed it in his hand and asked.
"No, not only the bloodline of our Hu family's side branches, but also the clan elders who can be absolutely trusted have tried, and they have been burned at least and mentally traumatized at worst."
Guan Xingshan said and pointed to the burn marks on his neck, which were left by this relic.
Traverser's Brand, this is a boundary-breaking relic, but unlike other boundary-breaking relics, this relic is equivalent to the key to unlocking a huge treasure house.
And this huge treasure trove is the 'Otherworldly Continent' that is about to be spliced into the main world.
Thirty years ago, when the phenomenon of 'spliced worlds' first occurred, the spliced continents of the other world were protected by a kind of rule enchantment called 'world barriers'.
Thirty years ago, no matter what means were used, the countries of the world could not break through the blockade of the 'world barrier', and the same was true for the creatures on the otherworldly continent that were spliced together.
The two worlds lived together peacefully for a few months, until a time-traveler broke the 'world barrier'.
According to the data gathered from current research, it can be determined that at the time of the discovery of the phenomenon of 'spliced worlds', two or three or more people in the main world were forcibly transported to the spliced world continent for some reason.
These 'traversers' can freely walk between the barriers of the world, as long as they take advantage of this feature... It is completely possible to become a dumpster who resells the materials of the two worlds.
There were people who did do this, but they didn't realize that the world barrier would become extremely vulnerable when it was crossed.
And then there was an accident, and the barriers of the world were shattered... Let the monsters in the other world pour out, resulting in a catastrophe that changed the entire world thirty years ago.
And now, thirty years later... Everything has become different! Thirty years ago, human civilization was devastated by strange supernatural powers, and thirty years later, humanity has mastered the supernatural powers that exist in the form of a large number of relics.
So once the phenomenon of 'spliced worlds' reappears, the different worlds that have been spliced together... In the eyes of the chaebol empire, it is a new and inexhaustible treasure!
Different from the small world of the Lord of the World, taking any materials from the small world to the main world requires the loss of the energy of the Lord of the World, and the spliced other world... For the major chaebol empires, it is a real 'zero-dollar purchase'.
This relic, known as the Traveler's Brand, is able to engrave the 'Traveler' mark on the Qualified, allowing the Qualified to ensure that they are transported to another world as a Traveler when the phenomenon of splicing worlds occurs.
"Let me try again."
Jiang Xin didn't want to miss this opportunity to be the 'hero' of the Crane family, although this hero was likely to take his life, he still tried to stick the slate to his neck.
After emitting a burst of scorching light, the dragon light on the stone slab did not leave any marks on Jiang Xin's neck until Jiang Xin couldn't bear it.
"Isn't your Crane family's direct bloodline the most compatible with this relic? Who else in the direct line of the Crane family hasn't tried? Guan Xingshan looked at him and asked.
"We do have a direct bloodline in the Crane family who hasn't tried, and she's probably the most likely, just..."
Jiang Xin glanced at Guan Xingshan's expression at this time, and his face was full of 'Then don't let her try it soon!' After that, he said.
"Now that she is under the protection of the Guan family master, if you want her to try, you may have to ask our family master to come forward in person."
"Who is it?" Guan Xingshan didn't remember that among the people he was sheltering was the direct blood of the Crane family.
"The friend of Bai Xiaoyu, the successor of the wolf family, Jiang Qinglian, the third daughter of the current eldest princess of the Crane family." Jiang Xin said.
…………
Jiang Qinglian also went back to her room and turned out her dowry, although she only came to the wolf family as a proton and did not really marry, but the Crane family still gave a lot of dowries in order to please the wolf family.
"Actually, there's no need to rummage through the cabinets, we just need to get this relic in our hands to have a certain chance of winning."
Lu Ren borrowed Bai Xiaoyu's body to show the relic on the tablet to Jiang Qinglian.
"But this boundary-breaking relic also requires a lot of price to get in exchange... It is a little bit to be able to help. ”
"Actually, I really want to exchange for this relic, compared to these chips in your hands, I think this guy is the most effective."
Lu Ren said and pointed at himself with Bai Xiaoyu's finger.
"Take me for it? What do you mean? ”
Bai Xiaoyu also quickly reacted to Lu Ren's meaning, and Jiang Qinglian on the side looked at Bai Xiaoyu's split personality and pursed her lips and chuckled again.
"Because the owner of this relic is your sister White Frost, if you want to exchange this thing from White Frost, it is impossible to rely on barter."
Lu Ren pointed to the owner of the relic marked under the slab, which was the white frost.
"So..."
"Xiaoyu, at this time, you should use your best charm skills."
"When did I get good at this kind of mess?" Bai Xiaoyu once again entered the state of fried hair.
"I'm serious, you really want to sit firmly as the head of the wolf family in the future, the support of your second sister Bai Shuangduan is indispensable, and she really cares about you, so it is necessary for you to have a good relationship with her, whether it is sisterhood, or lala love, or some special relationship."
Lu Ren observed during this period of time that the power of the White Frost in the Wolf Family was actually not weak, and she had gathered a group of 'doer' clan elders who really wanted the Wolf Family to develop and grow.
With Bai Xiaoyu's current situation, without the support of Bai Shuangdu, there is no way to sit firmly in the position of the head of the wolf family.
"So this time I went to your sister to ask for the relic, and I also got your sister's support, I'm still trying to figure out a way to this, anyway, you prepare first... I'll go take a shower first, and I'll talk about it in about ten minutes. ”
"Take a bath? Oh... Got it. ”
Bai Xiaoyu always chatted with Lu Ren, but she didn't realize that Lu Ren was a real person in reality, but after thinking about it carefully, Lu Ren hadn't taken a bath for several days.
After Lu Ren was silent, Bai Xiaoyu also fell silent, only Jiang Qinglian blinked his eyes and approached Bai Xiaoyu.
"The god of lights, this is... Gone to rest? Jiang Qinglian asked.
"Let's go rest." Bai Xiaoyu looked at the slightly curious expression on Jiang Qinglian's face, and asked the ghost, "Qinglian, won't you be jealous?" ”
"Jealous? Why should I be jealous? ”
This question made Jiang Qinglian have a puzzled expression on his face.
"It's just that I've been working with that lately... The god of lights chatted, it seems that he didn't have much pity, you are obviously seriously ill. Bai Xiaoyu scratched her cheek lightly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Well, I don't mind, and I also like to see Xiaoyu you happy, I always feel very comfortable..."
Jiang Qinglian's feelings for Bai Xiaoyu are a little... The feeling of being a mother, the feeling of being a mother, when she saw her daughter chatting happily with a good boy who she thought was very pleasing to the eye, Jiang Qinglian, who was a mother, would always unconsciously show a 'hehe...' aunt smile.
"Who's happy!" Bai Xiaoyu doesn't like this feeling of being seen through by others.
Jiang Qinglian looked at Bai Xiaoyu's twisted appearance and sighed slightly, and then asked Bai Xiaoyu with a serious expression.
"Xiaoyu, you can now confirm that the lamp god is now a real person in reality, right?"
"This... can be determined. ”
"And then the lamp god is a male again?"
"It's... So what? ”
"Then if you want him to be by your side like this in the future, then Xiaoyu, you should take the initiative to fight for it, instead of always waiting for the lamp god to please you or take the initiative to chat with you... Don't always take this comfort you feel with the god of lights for granted. ”
Jiang Qinglian taught Bai Xiaoyu seriously, and when he said this, Jiang Qinglian looked at Bai Xiaoyu's embarrassed expression, and said with a slightly helpless smile on his face.
"Of course, Xiaoyu, if you only regard the Lantern God as an ordinary friend, a comrade-in-arms who fights side by side, it will be superfluous to be my words, after all, our situation is not allowed to fall in love and love, but Xiaoyu, you must remember!"
Jiang Qinglian put a finger against the tip of Bai Xiaoyu's nose and said.
"You kind of like the feeling of being a lamp god now, although it's only a little, but if you really like it! You can't twist like this... Be sure to take the initiative to express your thoughts! If someone else preempts it, it will be too late to regret it for life. ”
There may be no one who understands Bai Xiaoyu's character better than Jiang Qinglian, Bai Xiaoyu is a very insecure person, she has a thorn in her personality, and the part of her arrogance is a manifestation of her insecurity.
Therefore, Bai Xiaoyu could easily fall into the hands of a boy who could give her a full sense of security, that lamp god was Bai Xiaoyu's most solid backing during this time, and now Bai Xiaoyu may be a little unaccustomed to hearing Lu Ren's voice.
"Pity, you're really thinking too much! I am bullied by him every day, how can I like him, at most, I can only be regarded as a comrade-in-arms who fights side by side. ”
Bai Xiaoyu hugged her legs and muttered.
"As long as I repay my kindness to him, I don't care who he likes or who he likes him..."
And I haven't met him in real life!
"I hope so, I'm sorry I said something useless." Jiang Qinglian said, hugged Bai Xiaoyu's petite body, and said, "You've worked hard these days." ”
Jiang Qinglian will remind Bai Xiaoyu here, but she simply doesn't want Bai Xiaoyu, a stupid child, to be harmed in any way.
Including emotional... Her daughter suddenly has a tendency to fall in love, and any mother will worry that she will be emotionally frustrated.
"And..."Bai Xiaoyu raised her head from Jiang Qinglian's arms at this time and said.
"And what?"
"I said that there is a little possibility, a little possibility, if I am really interested in that lamp god, and if there is really a woman who dares to rob me! I'm not going to beat that woman down mercilessly! Anyway, the person who regrets it the most for life is definitely not me! ”
There was still a hint of excitement hidden in Bai Xiaoyu's tone, it seemed that she was ready to beat up the woman who was about to compete with her for the lamp god in the future.
This is really a timid and fearful, but fierce and aggressive little tiger... Jiang Qinglian rubbed Bai Xiaoyu's head and asked, "Then the opponent is me?" ”
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoyu's whole person turned gray, and she entered a long state of crash on the spot.
"I'm kidding, Xiaoyu, don't worry, if you really want to chase the lamp god in the future, I will help you be a staff officer." Jiang Qinglian said.
"That's good! Although it doesn't feel very useful... But when the time comes, you must help me. Bai Xiaoyu repeatedly emphasized.
"Hmm."
Bai Xiaoyu felt an indescribable sense of relief when she heard Jiang Qinglian's soft promise.
She suddenly has a lot of expectations for her future life, but before that, all she has to do is to do everything to prepare for the upcoming heir election.
