"Brother Zhang."
Zhou Xuan would not forget Zhang Xiao's help a few days ago and stood up to greet him.
Zhou Cangshan and Zhou Taishan didn't look good, but they didn't say much in front of Zhao Mingde.
"I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
Zhang Xiao smiled faintly and said proudly: "My father asked me to bring you a message, saying that although Guxuan City is small, it still has the royal laws that it should have. If anything happens, you can tell my father .”
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I understand, thank you."
Zhang Xiao nodded, and then led the three of them to sit on the other side.
Zhou Cangshan and Zhou Taishan's eyes were cold and their teeth were almost broken.
How could they not hear Zhang Xiao's subtext? What he said was nothing more than a warning to them not to kill someone easily.
otherwise.
The City Lord's Mansion will never sit idly by.
certainly.
The two elders were angry, but they did not appreciate Zhang Xiao's threat, even if they really put Zhou Xuan to death.
Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion could destroy the entire Zhou family?
If he ignored it, Zhou Cangshan even thought that he could crush Zhou Xuan to death on the spot. He really didn't believe that the city lord's palace would go to war for an outsider like Zhou Xuan. He just didn't sit down like this just to be on the safe side.
Zhou Cangshan is also waiting.
When Zhou Changkong was elected to the five major martial arts houses, the Zhou family completely rose to prominence.
At that time, with this layer of protection, no matter how messy Zhang Xiao is, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not be able to interfere too much!
Zhou Cangshan and Zhou Taishan held back the anger in their hearts and were not in a hurry!
The two sides had a brief confrontation. The strong men of the three major families had heard about what happened that day. They knew that Zhang Xiao and the Zhou family were afraid that they would not deal with it. Before the matter was resolved, they could not stand aside in advance and could only pretend that it was not happening. see.
yes.
Zhou Changkong's talent is very good, but who can guarantee that Zhou Changkong will be selected into the five major martial arts houses of Qin Dynasty?
In case it doesn't work.
In Guxuan City, the City Lord's Mansion is still the absolute king.
No one force can bear the wrath of the City Lord's Mansion alone.
The powerful men of the three major families are not fools. They can let their juniors have contact with Zhou Changkong as a sign of friendship.
But it will definitely not be supported openly.
The City Lord's Palace obviously had the same idea, so the City Lord Qingyun never showed up in person, and Zhang Xiao took the lead in everything.
This way.
Even if Zhou Changkong flourishes in the future, there will still be room for maneuver.
However, after such contact, the Zhou family and Zhang Xiao were speechless, and the three major families did not dare to contact either party. Gradually, the entire carriage became quiet, and the atmosphere was extremely strange, as if a stone was pressing on everyone's hearts.
Sudden.
Zhao Mingde raised his eyes and his voice sounded: "Come in."
As the voice fell, a figure pushed open the curtain door of the carriage and appeared in everyone's eyes.
Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but take another look.
The person who came was dressed in plain clothes, with his hair tied high, and he was carrying a long sword with a black scabbard. There was a sharp aura faintly exuding from his body, and he was highly cultivated. Therefore, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but take a second look.
He is actually another powerful person who knows everything!
Many people saw this and were surprised. What they were even more confused about was that the person who came was actually alone, without anyone following him.
Yes, only one person.
The person coming should be a young talent from Longya Sword Pavilion, but Longya Sword Pavilion and other forces also have four quotas.
Then why is there only one?
Zhao Mingde's eyes were dull from beginning to end, as if none of the so-called geniuses of Guxuan City could catch his eye. However, the moment he saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly became brighter.
Zhao Mingde actually showed a smile and his voice sounded.
"Are you representing Dragon Tooth Sword Pavilion?"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Zhao Mingde to be interested in this person.
The man didn't show much respect, he just nodded politely, his voice was rather calm and lukewarm.
"Dragon Tooth Sword Pavilion, Li Jianqi."
"Okay, very good. I didn't expect that there will be a good guy in Guxuan City this year. You should be able to pass the preliminary election. If you don't enter the five major martial arts houses in Daqin in the future, you can directly come to my Pingnan Academy to register."
Zhao Mingde looked very enthusiastic and smiled broadly.
The eyes of everyone in the audience became a little shocked, and Zhou Xuan was also a little surprised. Li Jianqi actually attracted Zhao Mingde's attention!
Everyone was shocked!
Someone as strong as Zhao Mingde actually said bluntly that Li Jianqi could definitely pass the primary election, and after passing the primary election, if he could not enter the five major martial arts schools in the Qin Dynasty, he could directly choose to enter Pingnan Academy. This, this, this...
This person from Dragon Tooth Sword Pavilion seems to be a bit exaggerated!
Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Jianqi with great interest.
Zhou Changkong's eyes shone with deep hostility. He was arrogant and thought that he was the number one genius in Guxuan City.
However.
When Zhou Changkong got on the carriage, Zhao Mingde didn't take a second look.
Zhao Mingde is now focusing on Li Jianqi. Doesn't it mean that in Zhao Mingde's heart, Li Jianqi's talent is better?
Zhou Changkong's eyes were cold.
Many people looked enviously.
It is too difficult to enter the five major martial arts schools in the Qin Dynasty, and there is not much hope. Therefore, joining Pingnan Academy is the focus of many people. As a result, Li Jianqi was recognized by Zhao Mingde right after he came up. How can people not be envious of this?
But what no one expected was.
Faced with Zhao Mingde's overtures, Li Jianqi actually shook his head.
"Master said that the goal of my trip is the five major martial arts palaces in the Qin Dynasty. If I can't enter, I will go to Dragon Sword Cliff to seek swords. I won't consider other places."
Li Jianqi thought for a moment and bowed his head in greeting: "Thank you very much."
Everyone was shocked, even Zhou Xuan was slightly moved.
What a good guy, he didn't even give me any face. He almost made it clear that he didn't like Pingnan Academy any more.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, the strong man is indeed very arrogant.
If it were them, it was too late to be happy after receiving Zhao Mingde's overtures. Even if Pingnan Academy was not the first choice, it could be used as a fallback in the future. There was no need to speak out. It would be too arrogant to refuse directly.
Zhou Xuan originally thought the same way and took a closer look at Li Jianqi's expression.
Only then did he realize that the other party was probably not being arrogant on purpose, but was simply fulfilling the master's request.
"This guy is very innocent."
Zhou Xuan saw Li Jianqi's character and had an inexplicable and strange feeling.
Strong people have always been proud, such as Zhang Xiao, Zhou Changkong, and even Zhou Xuan, but Li Jianqi does not seem to be so proud, but straightforward and simple. What he says is not to look down on others.
Or is this a form of pride in itself?
"Young people are ambitious, which is a good thing."
Zhao Mingde was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "That's fine, but if you are rejected by Duanlongjianya, I, Pingnan Academy, will still welcome you."
