Chapter 234: Recruiting Relatives in Competition
After leaving the clothing store, Ling Xi took Luo Ji all the way to the center of Tielin City, and the destination of the two was the place where the second lady of the Chu family said by the proprietress of the clothing store was recruiting relatives.
The proprietress of the clothing store said that if you really want to know about the Black Knife Village, you have to go to two places, one is the City Lord's Mansion, and the other is the Chu family. The proprietress recommended Ling Xi to go to the Chu family to inquire about the situation, first, the Chu family is easy to talk to, and second, the second lady of the Chu family has been competing in Tielin City in recent days to recruit relatives, and Ling Xi can take this opportunity to contact the Chu family.
Although Ling Xi would go to the two places of the City Lord's Mansion and the Chu family, Ling Xi felt that what the proprietress said was good, so he decided to go to the Chu family first, and before that, he naturally had to contact the Chu family through the competition of the second lady of the Chu family.
As for why the Chu family held a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, Ling Xi also found out. It is said that the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village fell in love with the second miss of the Chu family and wanted to marry the second miss of the Chu family. Of course, the Chu family did not agree to the matter of sending their own young lady into the demon cave. After a few twists and turns, the Black Knife Village gave the Chu family a choice, that is, a month later, the Black Knife Village would set up a ring outside Tielin City, as long as the Chu family found someone to defeat the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village, then the second lady of the Chu family would not have to marry into the Black Knife Village. In desperation, the Chu family held this competition to recruit relatives.
Under the banner of recruiting relatives through martial arts, the Chu family set up a ring in the center of Tielin City, claiming that as long as he could be favored by the Chu family, he could become the uncle of the Chu family. But in this part of Tielin City, who dares to go against the Black Knife Village, and it is obviously impossible to risk offending the Black Knife Village to become the aunt of the Chu family. In the past few days, there are no more than a few people who dare to come to power, and they are all generals, and they can't beat the second miss of the Chu family, let alone defeat the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village. So don't look at the number of onlookers, more than ninety percent of them are just watching the excitement.
When Ling Xi and Luo Ji were looking around for a place for the second miss of the Chu family to compete and recruit relatives, the two of them saw a place surrounded by many people from a distance, needless to say, the crowded place was naturally the place where the second miss of the Chu family competed to recruit relatives. 丨
Ling Xi and Luo Ji walked over and found that although there were many onlookers next to the ring, none of them dared to go to the ring.
Ling Xi looked directly across the ring, where a group of people from the Chu family were sitting. In the middle of the crowd was a white-haired old man, who looked seventy or eighty years old, who should be Chu Tiannan, the old head of the Chu family, and also the grandfather of the second lady of the Chu family. It is said that Chu Tiannan had retired many years ago, but a few years ago, Chu Tiannan's only son died of illness, and the Chu family suddenly lost its backbone.
On Chu Tiannan's right hand sat a woman with outstanding appearance and temperament, and that woman should be Chu Keke, the second lady of the Chu family.
Ling Xi took a look, Chu Keke was eighteen or nineteen years old, her appearance was very beautiful, and she looked relatively well-behaved, it was a pity that such a woman really wanted to marry to the Black Knife Village, and it was no wonder that the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village would be worried about Chu Keke, this Chu Keke was really good.
Ling Xi found a random person around and asked:
"This eldest brother, the younger brother dares to ask, why didn't anyone come to the stage in the Chu family's martial arts competition?"
The man glanced at Ling Xi and said lightly:
"From out of town? That's the person who the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village wants to name and want, who dares to come to power? Do you dare? Not afraid of being hacked to death by the Black Knife Village?"
Ling Xi smiled and shook his head, the man looked at him suspiciously, and then ignored him.
At this time, Luo Ji pulled Ling Xi's sleeve and asked with some uneasiness:
"Childe, do you want to be the uncle of the Chu family?"
"Of course not, you forgot, we are here to find out the situation, and besides, I won't stay in Tielin City for long, how can I be the uncle of the Chu family. ”
Ling Xi shook his head and smiled.
"Oh. ”
Luo Ji's expression suddenly darkened, although she had long known that Ling Xi would leave sooner or later, but now that Ling Xi said it herself, she still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, because she didn't want Ling Xi to leave.
"Childe, I'm ······"
For a while, Luo Ji seemed to have made up a lot of determination and wanted to say something to Ling Xi, but as soon as she said it, a person flew into the ring, attracting Ling Xi's attention to it, and Ling Xi didn't notice that she wanted to talk at all.
A hint of gloom flashed across Rockie's face, and she smiled bitterly, and the words that came to her mouth were taken back by her.
With that person on stage, the scene instantly came to life, and the onlookers immediately became noisy, and they were talking about the person who came on stage.
"The eldest young master of the Hu family, I didn't expect him to come to participate in the Chu family's martial arts competition to recruit relatives, this is good-looking, the eldest young master of the Hu family is also in the middle of the Haodi Seal, maybe he can really beat the second miss of the Chu family. ”
"What if you win, don't you know that the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village is in the late stage of Haodiyin, and the eldest young master of the Hu family can be his opponent, if he is not desperate, the Chu family will not hold this competition to recruit relatives. ”
"It would be nice if Ling Xi, who is comparable to the four heroes, is in Tielin City, not to mention the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village, even if the entire Black Knife Village comes. ”
"Are you talking about Ling Xi, who won the battle of the gods of Shenzhou and killed many creation seals of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and is now being rewarded by the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce nationwide?"
"Of course it's him, or who else?"
······
When a person mentioned Ling Xi, the people around him seemed to be interested, and they also talked about Ling Xi, and their attention was not on the ring.
Hearing the people around him talk about himself praisefully, Ling Xi was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect his reputation to be so loud in the bandit-ridden Tielin City, it can be seen that his popularity in the Hongling Empire, it is always right to be careful before, if his whereabouts are found out by the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, then he will be annoyed.
Ling Xi took a look, the eldest young master of the Hu family in the mouth of the crowd was older than Chu Keke, about twenty years old, his strength was not much different from Chu Keke, and it was also in the middle of the Haodi Seal, but Chu Keke's aura was more condensed, so if he really wanted to distinguish the winner from the loser, Ling Xi felt that Chu Keke's winning rate was greater. Of course, no one can say for sure what the final result is, if the eldest young master of the Hu family prepares any means, then the result will develop in another direction, but Ling Xi is still more inclined to Chu Keke, after all, the strength advantage is there, whether there is a second hand preparation or not is a matter of two words.
Sure enough, the result was just as Ling Xi expected, Chu Ke could narrowly defeat the eldest young master of the Hu family with one move. However, Ling Xi saw that the eldest young master of the Hu family left a hand, and there was a good opportunity to lock in the victory, the eldest young master of the Hu family obviously made a move, and he took it back in the middle of the game, it can be seen that the eldest young master of the Hu family does not want to win this competition at all, and seems to be a little afraid of the meaning of the black knife village.
Ling Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong, if the eldest young master of the Hu family was afraid of the Black Knife Village, then he could not have come to participate in this martial arts competition to recruit relatives, but the eldest young master of the Hu family came after all, what could this mean? It shows that the eldest young master of the Hu family came just to take a formality. Ling Xi guessed that it should be that the Chu family was afraid that no one would come to participate in the competition they held to recruit relatives, so their faces would not be bright, so they asked the eldest young master of the Hu family to go through the motions. But even if there is the eldest young master of the Hu family to make up the number, there are not many people who participate in this competition to recruit relatives, Ling Xi is sure that there are no more than two hands, otherwise Chu Tiannan, the head of the Chu family, would not be so helpless on his face.
"Even the eldest young master of the Hu family has failed, it seems that among the young people of Tielin City, I am afraid that no one will be able to fight with the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village. ”
"Even if you have that strength, you don't dare to stand up, after all, you are facing the Black Knife Village, isn't it looking for death for the Chu family?"
"Alas, why don't I have a hero like Ling Xi in Tielin City?"
After the Hu family's eldest young master failed in the challenge, the crowd in the audience began to talk again.
Ling Xi looked around, it is estimated that no one will go to the stage after the failure of the eldest young master of the Hu family, and he should also come to the stage at this time, otherwise this competition will not be able to continue.
"Childe, be careful. ”
Looking at Ling Xi, who was eager to try, Luo Ji reminded loudly.
"Well, I will. ”
Ling Xi smiled and signaled Luo Ji to rest assured, and then flew into the ring.
