Chapter 571: A Degree of Disappointment
After Han Zishi came, he didn't stay for too long, and he didn't go to the so-called worship, and after chatting with Tang Geng Lu'an, he left directly and didn't do anything unexpected, which made the two of them feel a little unexpected.
"This is leaving?" Tang Geng smiled speechlessly, not understanding what this person was doing when he suddenly came over.
Lu An also shook his head and smiled speechlessly, "No thing is the best thing, he came here this time to talk to us about this matter, and he can be regarded as a little conscience, but where is he going to go on this detour?
Hearing Lu An say this, Tang Geng also showed a trace of doubt, this question is a very good question, for Han Zishi, he is still extremely jealous, this is not an ordinary person, for him, the Nine Realms are not an existence that he can touch, the other party's strength is really higher than him, even if he is strong, against this kind of person, his strength is still a little low!
"It seems to make some sense for you to say this, but I think it's even more strange that there is another thing, that is, isn't this person a little strange, how can he be Bai Yu's senior brother? How come I've never heard of this thing?" Tang Geng looked at Lu An with a curious expression, because Lu An seemed to know about it, but how could he not know about it? It was really a bit weird!
Lu An smiled and didn't answer the question, but looked to the side and directly ignored the question, because he didn't know how to explain it to Tang Geng.
"Why don't you speak, you wouldn't have known it a long time ago, right?" Tang Geng asked again.
"Actually, it's not a big problem, if you think about it, Bai Yu is a person from the Zongheng Pavilion, and Han Zishi is also a person from the Zongheng Pavilion, isn't this relationship straightened out?
Tang Geng thought about it, as if this was the truth, and then nodded, and did not continue to explore.
After that, the two returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and then communicated with a few people.
Everyone was a little surprised, after all, such a strong grandmaster came and left as soon as he said it, which was really a bit incomprehensible and incomprehensible.
But after knowing the purpose of the other party's coming, they were even more surprised.
Wei said worriedly: "Is it a month later? It's so fast! Fortunately, after the opening of Ning'an Pavilion, otherwise it seems to be a bit troublesome to get together." ”
Everyone nodded.
"Half a month later, Ning'an Pavilion will open, and there should be a lot of people at this point in time, right?" asked Lu An.
Wei Zhen nodded, "That's right, there have been a lot of people coming, these people are relatively close, so they came early, like other sects, they are a little far away, so they haven't come yet." ”
"Then I will leave it to you for the next period of time, Tang Geng and I plan to retreat and adjust it again, whether it is fast or not fast in a month, and whether it is short or not, there are still a lot of things during this period, you have to work a little hard!" Lu An looked at Wei Xiao and Xiao Luochen and said.
The two nodded directly.
Tang Geng looked at Li Qing, "You can stay in the Craftsman City at that time, don't get involved in this matter, you will be busy in the near future." ”
Li Qing nodded, she also knew that her strength was not strong enough, and it seemed that it would not be of any use to go now, so she could only stay here and take care of the rear.
Lu An looked at Su Mu, and before he could speak, Su Mu took the lead and said: "I won't go either, I'll stay here too, don't worry, I'll let Xiaobai go with you when the time comes." ”
Lu An shook his head, "Senior Brother Xiaobai will stay here to accompany you, Tang Geng and I are enough, we are all leaving, everyone is not at ease here, let's let him guard you here, at least we have no worries in the rear." ”
Hearing Lu An say this, Su Mu could only nod, it still made sense!
"Since it has been decided to do this, then you have worked hard, and the things that should be prepared should also be prepared, this is the first time that our craftsman city has shown up with these people in a bright and bright way, and we can't lose face!" Tang Geng said excitedly.
Wei Zhen laughed directly, and teased: "Since the city lord is so worried about us, why don't you come by yourself?"
Tang Geng was stunned for a moment, he was really not good at this kind of thing, it didn't matter if he would rather hide behind and not show up, if he wanted to preside over the overall situation, to be honest, he was still a little impatient.
Seeing Tang Geng's stunned expression, Wei Zhen laughed directly, "Since the city lord is so self-aware, then leave this matter to us, we will definitely handle it!"
Tang Geng could only sigh, and then stopped talking.
At this moment, everyone directly showed a happy smile, but under Tang Geng's color pressure, everyone instantly calmed down.
Only Lu An was still there and couldn't hold back, and laughed.
......
Half a month is a blink of an eye for the retreat, when Lu An's eyes opened again, the half a month had already passed, and Tang Geng beside him didn't know where to go, it seemed that he had already been out of the customs.
Walking outside, the dazzling sunlight suddenly made Lu An's eyes narrow, but the feeling of the sun was still good, which made him enjoy this temperature very much, and the temperature in the winter in the north was still very enjoyable.
Just as Lu An was still enjoying the warmth, there was a sudden noisy noise outside, but it was not the sound of a fight, it was an extremely loud laughter for the first time.
It's just that the middle of these laughter is extraordinarily thick, this one sounds like a grandmaster, and there is more than one, this batch of laughter is all grandmaster, and the number of people he perceives alone is close to seven or eight, which is really a bit much!
There were so many grandmasters pouring in from Craftsman City at once, which immediately made Lu An's heart rise, if these people were not good for Craftsman City, wouldn't something happen?
Thinking of this, Lu An instantly took a deep breath and hurriedly walked outside.
Lu An's move, those laughter stopped instantly, and these people were waiting there one by one, as if they were waiting for Lu An.
When Lu An came out of the inner courtyard, he noticed that something was wrong, and he saw that Tang Gengwei was talking and laughing with these people there, which was really timid.
When everyone saw Lu An, a group of people all stood up, and then came directly in front of Lu An.
These people are not young, and the youngest looks older than Tang Geng, which can be regarded as a group of elderly people.
All of them were gathered in front of Lu An, but they startled him, and they hurriedly made crazy eyes with Tang Geng.
Tang Geng laughed and said with a smile: "Several, you are still a little more normal, you are so enthusiastic, Lu An is going to be frightened by you, he has just come out of the customs, I don't know you." ”
Several people smiled, and each returned to their seats, and then looked at Lu An with a smile.
Lu An looked dazed, and walked directly in front of Tang Geng, "What's the situation?"
"Don't worry, listen to me tell you, these people are all grandmasters who set off with us. Tang Geng replied directly.
Lu An was even more puzzled by this, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean? Leave with us? Didn't they come with an invitation to congratulate?"
As soon as the word congratulations came out, several people present were stunned for a moment, as if there was indeed such a thing, and they didn't seem to have taken this matter into account when they came, and everyone was immediately embarrassed.
After Lu An finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Geng again, Tang Geng was also extremely embarrassed, he had never seen such a straightforward person asking for gifts, "Lu An, you listen to me first, this matter is not what you think, these people are all representatives of the grandmasters of all parties..."
"Could it be that Han Zishi is also here?" Lu An's brows furrowed instantly.
"That's not true, there are also your old acquaintances in it, this is Yuan Cheng of the Sword Pavilion, Grandmaster Yuan, this is Wei Bin of the Martial Pavilion, this is the Yuansu of Great Qin, and this is the Great Shang..."
Tang Geng introduced all the seven people in front of him at once, and I have to say that there are still a lot of these people, so many that Lu An can't even remember the names, and they are all names that he has never heard of, which is really a little surprising.
"These people are all grandmasters of the major forces, and they are all people who go to Zhongzhou, of course, in addition to these people, there are naturally some people, but they didn't come over, just like Han Zishi, it seems that Xuanyu of the Sword Pavilion will also go, these people are all your old acquaintances, when the time comes, you have to be a little polite!" Tang Geng whispered.
Lu An nodded, but he was still a little confused in his mind, what did they come to Craftsman City for?" "Then what is the matter with them coming to us?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that there is a youngest grandmaster in the Craftsman City, and with the entrustment of various forces, he came to congratulate us. Tang Geng forcibly explained a wave.
In this way, Lu An understood a little, nodded directly, and asked in a low voice: "Since they are really here to congratulate, then did they bring gifts?
Tang Geng's cold sweat came down, and he rolled his eyes directly at Lu An, how could he meet such a person? I don't have the demeanor of a grandmaster at all, these people are here, aren't they just supporting their face? When Lu An said this, he felt a little embarrassed!
"What's wrong with you, I feel like you have a lot of opinions about these people?" Tang Geng asked directly with his spiritual sense.
"Because I don't remember that we invited them, even if these people are among the forces we invited, the people we invited didn't come, and these people came, do you think these people are giving face or not?" Lu An didn't say this, and directly talked with his spiritual sense.
Tang Geng frowned instantly, and understood what Lu An meant, but in front of so many people, he didn't seem to be able to do anything out of the ordinary, so he could only forcibly nod at Lu An, understanding the meaning of what he meant.
When inviting all forces, he noted some people, Daqin naturally wrote Jiang Tian and Wei Yang, Jiang Tian can represent Daqin, Wei Yang and he are friends, the two naturally do not conflict, but there is no one, there is no one I don't know, looking at the monk who has just joined Daqin, I feel perfunctory, but it is not perfunctory, after all, it is still a grandmaster!
The Sword Pavilion was naturally Xuanyu Yang Huo, and even Lin Hailang was invited, but he didn't come either.
Not to mention Dahan, Yan Qing, Yu Wenyuan, etc., many of them are familiar people, but they still haven't come.
Not to mention a few other forces that are not very familiar with each other, isn't it a good thing that the person who invites and the person who comes are not the same at all?
Dahan may have been delayed by special circumstances, this can be said to be reasonable, Daqin and Sword Pavilion Martial Pavilion, it feels like a kind of look down on them, which really makes Lu An a little unhappy! Even if the relationship between these parties and him is not bad, it still makes him a little uncomfortable.
Of course, this is uncomfortable, Lu An naturally can't show it, after asking Tang Geng to understand, Lu An greeted these people with a smile, and those people's curiosity about Lu An was really a bit heavy.
For them, it was simply impossible for them to reach the rank of Grandmaster at the age of their early twenties, so the eyes of these people looked at Lu An with a kind of curiosity, and they were extremely hot.
These questions can be regarded as asking a lot, especially about cultivation.
A young man in his twenties is teaching these old things who don't know how many years they should have lived to cultivate, it feels very strange when they think about it, and Lu An has nothing to teach them, he can only say that he has a good fortune and keeps breaking through, and then it becomes the current problem, which really makes these people speechless, and asking for a long time is equivalent to asking in vain.
Tang Geng could only laugh there, and he couldn't say anything serious, he was really a little helpless.
The two of them chatted with these people for more than an hour helplessly, and these people were dispersed, and tomorrow was the opening ceremony of Ning'an Pavilion, so they sent these people away under this excuse.
These people frowned, Lu An immediately looked at Tang Geng, and directly snorted coldly, and asked in great confusion: "Tang City Lord, you are so patient, you are actually here to accompany these people to laugh?"
Tang Geng shrugged his shoulders tiredly, "Otherwise, you are accompanied by me, is it possible to let Senior Brother Bai accompany you? Let Wei Zhen accompany you, do you think he has the qualifications and ability? Who else can there be besides me? Besides, we are opening this time, and we just want to make friends with several major forces, so we won't drive them out directly, right?"
"That's right, but don't you feel a little aggrieved? Who are these people? I haven't heard of it, none of the people we invited before actually came, these people are very disdainful of our Ning An Pavilion and the Craftsman City!" Lu An said this very solemnly.
Tang Geng smiled and asked rhetorically: "What do you want to do with a Ning'an Pavilion without Wu Jie? The other party can be regarded as agreed, and they have sent a grandmaster, although they are all some little-known grandmasters, you can't say that the other party doesn't give face, right? This face is really just right, it can't be heavy, it can't be light!"
Lu An nodded, Tang Geng said no problem, it seems that even if he is good friends with these people, the other party is unlikely to value himself too much, and he has to earn back this face by himself!
Thinking of this, Lu An directly raised his eyebrows and smiled, which can be regarded as having crossed the hurdle in his heart, and said with a smile directly: "Reasonable, but this time it can be regarded as a long and wise man, we have a little too high expectations for our own things, when nothing has come to fruition, we really shouldn't expect so, and the other party is already considered to be giving face, otherwise we will definitely not send these grandmasters over." ”
Hearing Lu An say this, Tang Geng was stunned for a moment, showing a rather surprised expression, "Did you figure it out, or were you angry and had nothing to say, and forcibly comforted yourself?"
Lu An smiled and retorted directly: "Do you think I will be the kind of person with a small belly and chicken intestines?" It's just that I did have too high expectations for this incident before, and I wanted to have a good face in front of the world, but the other party didn't even give us this opportunity, let's do our duty well, tomorrow's ceremony will be a little low-key, let them enjoy the service and novelty of the craftsman city!"
Tang Geng nodded again and again, Lu An could say this, it was really a bit unexpected for him, he originally thought that Lu An would be unusually angry, who would have thought that he would be so well-behaved and able to figure out the truth so quickly, although he didn't think of this problem at all, now it seems that he, the city lord, has indeed failed to do it.
Thinking of this, he figured out why Wei Zhen forcibly pulled him over to be this escort, and Wei Zhen was probably aware of this problem, probably because he was afraid that he would not control his emotions, so he let him come here.
Tang Geng sighed directly, scolded in his heart, and then was speechless to himself, why didn't he think of such a simple thing as his face, it was a little too stupid!
Just when Tang Geng blamed himself, Wei Wei and Li Qing came in, and their expressions didn't seem to be so good-looking.
At this moment, Tang Geng knew that he should be the last person to realize the problem.
"Those Grandmasters are gone?" Wei asked with a sneer.
Lu An nodded, "Let's go, I chatted for a while before leaving, I'm more interested in the Ning'an Pavilion of the Craftsman City!"
"That's natural, most of these people are willing to come here because of you, they want to see who the legendary Lu An is, and they naturally won't pay attention to the Craftsman City and Ning'an Pavilion, so do you think we need to change the opening ceremony tomorrow?" Wei said lightly.
"Well, let's keep a low profile, even if we want to be high-profile, in the face of these people, it's useless, our real purpose is to show those sect forces, by the way, in addition to these few, are there other major forces? Lu An said.
Wei Zhen shook his head directly, "There is no one, these strengths are too far away, and those garrisons in the north have no right to speak, although we have notified it, but most of the other party is not very willing to pay attention to this matter, so no one has come so far!"
Lu An nodded, and his expression did not change at all.
Li Qing on the side was extremely angry, "Hmph! We have worked so hard to prepare so many good things! They didn't even come, they really didn't give us any face, not to mention anything else, even those who were friends with us didn't come, Uncle Yuwen didn't come, I'm so angry!"
Lu An smiled and comforted directly: "The big man can't come, it's understandable, the Sword Pavilion and the Martial Pavilion don't come, most of them are their own reasons, since we are friendly with them, the other party also sent someone here, and he is also a grandmaster, so this face can be regarded as given, we just need to find our own affairs, how much others are willing to give such a thing as face, it is someone else's business, we can't ask for it, as long as we earn it by ourselves, if Wu Xie is here, then all this may be different!"
Li Qing nodded very seriously, "Yes! You have to earn your own face! You can't let them underestimate our craftsman city in the future!"
"That's good!" Wei Wei also agreed with Lu An's words.
Tang Geng kept frowning, he felt as if he was sarcastic about him, which made him feel a little wrong, "Are you sarcastic that I am not as good as Wu Jie?"
Lu An was slightly stunned, and quickly laughed, "No, no, no, I'm just making an analogy!"
"Fart, I think that's what you mean, compare me with Wu Jie, I'm a little weaker than Wu Jie, but you can't blame me for this responsibility! I'm already trying hard to catch up with Wu Jie..." Tang Geng muttered a lot directly.
Lu An also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly explained to him and pulled the topic over.
"By the way, these grandmasters just talked about Yunzhou, has there been any other progress in this matter recently?" Lu An asked.
Wei Wei shook his head, "It's basically decided, and it doesn't seem to be too surprising to talk about it, but I heard that the leaders of several forces have already met once, like the Sword Pavilion Martial Pavilion Great Han, they have already communicated." ”
"And this kind of thing?Why didn't anyone inform me?I'm also the number one person?" Tang Geng was extremely dissatisfied, this feeling of being deliberately removed was really a little uncomfortable.
"What do you think, since they have treated us like this, do you think they will take you seriously?" Li Qing muttered directly.
Tang Geng, who was angry with this, snorted coldly several times, looking unhappy!
After a big farce, it can be regarded as a good thing for Craftsman City, at least Lu An knows the views of all forces on Craftsman City now, and naturally includes Ning Ange's opinion of him, which seems to be that kind of dispensable opinion.
Although this realization made him a little disappointed, it was still good news.
On the path of cultivation, it is a process of constantly recognizing oneself and others.
This process is inevitably mixed with five flavors!
