Cangwu County.
Cangwu City, morning.
It's another sunny day, and people are coming and going on the street.
The people of the four major families were busy because they knew that today was an extremely special day.
People from the five major martial arts houses in Da Qin will come to pick up those who passed the primary election.
"Quick, quick, don't wait!"
The Lei family, a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers, greeted everyone and planned to prepare the last meal to welcome the five major martial arts houses of the Qin Dynasty and at the same time officially bless all the people of the Lei family who passed the primary election.
The five major martial arts houses of the Qin Dynasty are themselves holy places for cultivation.
People like Lei Rulong who enter the five major martial arts houses of Great Qin may not be able to come back within three to five years.
That is to say.
This was probably Lei Rulong's last meal at home, so it naturally required special treatment. Since the head of the Lei family, Lei Yao, who escorted Zhou Xuan, had not yet returned, everything was handled by the great elder Lei Shan.
Lei Shan is also the father of Lei Rulong and Lei Yun, and has a high status.
Except for the Lei family, the other three major families were almost all in the same situation, and it was a lively scene.
at this time.
A carriage bearing the logo of the five major martial arts houses of the Qin Dynasty drove into Cangwu City.
People from the four major families knew the news immediately, including the geniuses from Shangcangwu Academy. The various forces packed their luggage, and the big shots led the young people out to greet him.
In addition to those big shots and those who passed the primary election, others also followed, just to open their eyes.
People from the five major martial arts houses of the Qin Dynasty are rarely seen on weekdays.
Countless people quickly gathered at the gate of Cangwu City. In the center were naturally the twenty people who had passed the preliminary election, and the accompanying big shots. They raised their hands to the stopped carriage with loud voices.
"Meet the Messenger!"
The carriage door moved, and a man wearing a red robe slowly walked out.
"No need to be polite."
The man in the robe looked quite young, but the aura on his body was extremely terrifying. He seemed to have entered the realm of supernatural powers. He chuckled and glanced across the faces of the twenty people.
He stroked his palm gently: "The geniuses in Cangwu City this year are also very good. I think most of them can pass the capital competition."
"The envoy is full of praise."
A great man surrounded by geniuses is naturally humble.
"Now that you are ready, let's all get on the carriage. There are a lot of guests in the capital these days, and the crowds are a bit too mixed. Therefore, only one person from each force who has passed the primary election can accompany him, and no more can come."
The man in the robe gave a brief introduction and was about to return to the carriage.
He seemed to suddenly think of something and took out a picture scroll from his arms.
"Yes, I almost forgot one thing. There is news from above that we are looking for traces of a person in various cities."
"This is his portrait."
The man in robe gradually unfolded the picture scroll.
Everyone was still a little confused, but when they saw the unfolded scroll, their pupils suddenly trembled violently, especially the faces of the four major families, their expressions almost completely changed, revealing horror!
The person on the scroll is Lin Huai, who became famous a few days ago!
The four major families all have young geniuses who have passed the preliminary election, and their expressions have become extremely subtle and full of doubts.
Why does Lin Huai appear in the portraits of the five major martial arts houses of the Qin Dynasty?
This doesn't look like a good thing!
Shang Mingtai, Shang Leshan and Shang Wan'er were all present. The Lei family also had Lei Yun and Lei Rulong. The same was true for Bai Zimo from the Bai family. After seeing Zhou Xuan's portrait, it was difficult for them to remain calm.
The man in the robe had amazing powers of observation. He immediately noticed the strangeness of the crowd and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Do you know the people in the portrait?"
Bai Huaijin stood behind Bai Zimo, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively.
"I dare to ask the envoy, what is the identity of this person? Judging from his appearance, he is so young. How come he is being hunted by the five major martial arts houses of the Qin Dynasty, and I don't know which big shot wants to find him?"
Bai Huaijin tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and seemed calm.
The man in robe took a deep look at Bai Huaijin, and then explained calmly.
"This man's name is Zhou Xuan. He comes from Guxuan City in Jianghe County. The person who is looking for him is the Master of Palace Wu. As for the reason, I cannot reveal the reason. If you have any clues, you will be rewarded."
When everyone heard the first half of the sentence, they were a little surprised and wondered whether they looked similar.
When those next words came out, everyone was shocked.
When Zhou Xuan opened his mouth to persuade Shang Leshan before, he had told his origin, which was the ancient Xuan City. In addition, the scroll was the same, and it was almost certain that the young man on the scroll was Zhou Xuan!
They have no way of knowing which is the real name of Zhou Xuan or Lin Huai.
What they can know is that it is actually the master of Wu Yuncang Palace of Qingtian Martial Palace who is looking for Zhou Xuan.
From the looks of it, it’s no small matter!
The head of the Chu family remained calm and coughed: "I have never seen this person before. Dare I ask the envoy, what on earth did this person commit to make Palace Master Wu displeased?"
When people from the four major families heard this, they knew that the head of the Chu family wanted to help Zhou Xuan hide his whereabouts.
For whatever purpose.
They had a good impression of Zhou Xuan and would not betray him.
Everyone in the Chu family calmed down and looked like they didn't recognize him.
The Bai family and the Lei family, who had received Zhou Xuan's favor, naturally did the same. Bai Huaijin and Lei Shan silently gave the people below a look, then suppressed all shock and did not reveal any flaws on their faces.
Even the merchants who had some misunderstandings with Zhou Xuan have now reconciled and pretended not to know.
The whole place seemed to be quiet for a moment.
The man in the robe had keen senses and always felt that something was not right about these people.
He seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Palace Master Wu is looking for someone. Of course, Palace Master Wu has his own plans. We, the rest of us, have no way of intervening. If you know the whereabouts of this person, please report it."
"Palace Master Wu said that if the person who brings the clues is confirmed to be true, he will be rewarded heavily."
"If you deliberately conceal it..."
The man in the robe chuckled and said nothing.
Those who knew the inside story felt chills running down their spines when they heard this. However, they themselves were considered members of a large family and would not be easily intimidated or change their minds.
No matter who is looking for Zhou Xuan, they cannot betray him. This is the most basic moral issue.
"Then I will definitely help Palace Master Wu search for it later."
Bai Huaijin spoke first, and there was nothing unusual in his voice.
The man in the robe looked at Bai Huaijin silently, his eyes seemed to flicker, as if he was trying to tell whether Bai Huaijin was lying. He shook his head and smiled, not thinking too much about it, just pretending that he hadn't.
"gone."
The man in the robe turned around and seemed to be about to step onto the carriage.
Everyone was afraid that the other party would continue to question Zhou Xuan, so they all breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting over it.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"Lord Messenger, I know his whereabouts!"
