"Generals, I have invited General Lu here. Please sit down for a moment. The celebration will begin soon." At this moment, Ling Changsheng said politely to the five people, then turned around and walked towards the high platform. Now Lu Yunyou has already Come, wait for Ling Zihao to arrive, and then the celebration can begin.
As the most undisputed protagonist of this celebration, Ling Zihao's delay in arriving was not because of any delay, but just to show his identity. Of course, after Lu Yunyou arrived, Ling Zihao could not delay for much longer.
"Lieutenant General Lu, what's your hair?" It was the first time they met Lu Yunyou. Since Lu Yunyou was not as unbearable as they thought, after the few people looked at each other, one of the more talkative generals even took the initiative to say hello to Lu Yunyou.
"It's just a change of color." After a simple reply, Lu Yunyou looked at the expressions of the five generals again, which were a little different from when he had just looked at each other. Seeing that those people had withdrawn their hostility, Lu Yunyou asked directly: "I don't know. How many generals are there?"
"I, Zhu Zizai, and the other four are generals in the army. A few days ago, I was ordered by the marshal to come here to train the new army. Today, I was invited by the Ling family to express my gratitude to General Lu. I hope General Lu won't mind. ," After saying this, Zhu Zizai told Lu Yunyou the names of the other four generals.
"I've met several generals." After Zhu Zizai introduced the other four people one by one, Lu Yunyou said hello directly to those four people no matter what their expressions were.
"Vice General Lu, Vice General Zhang said before that you were only at the fifth level of martial arts. Why is it that today when I see General Lu you are at the sixth level of martial arts?" The person who asked the question was another general named Liu Dahai.
"It's just a fluke that I advanced recently," Lu Yunyou replied lukewarmly, not wanting to go into too much detail.
"Vice General Lu, there have been a lot of affairs in the army recently, and you have been away from the army for many days. All military affairs are left to the General and Vice General Zhang. Is it inappropriate?" Seeing that Lu Yunyou spoke coldly and did not respect them enough, the five people One of the generals named Xing was a little unhappy and directly mentioned Lu Yunyou's fault.
"Don't worry, General Yu and Vice General Zhang are both more capable of handling military affairs than the last general. They can handle all matters in the army properly," while responding to General Xing and thinking about the purpose of their visit, Lu Yunyou felt more and more Several people didn't just come to attend today's event.
Not long ago, when he stood in front of the seventh-level martial arts cultivator, he still felt that he was very weak. But now, when he stood in front of several generals, he didn't feel that his aura was much worse than those generals. When he thought about it, he should have been with several generals. The general's ability to fight alone, Lu Yunyou is not afraid of those people.
"Lieutenant General Lu, actually I didn't come here today just to cause trouble for you. After all, we are all colleagues. Why don't we sit down and talk first." Seeing other generals talking about Lu Yunyou's misdeeds, Zhu Zizi smiled and stepped forward to be a peacemaker. Then he specifically said to the general named Xing: "General Xing, I'm waiting in the Ling Mansion, so you should pay more attention."
Zhu Zizai's expression was relatively euphemistic, but Lu Yunyou and several others could understand what he meant. It was nothing more than a reminder that they needed to be consistent in dealing with the outside world.
Based on Zhu Zizai's attitude, Lu Yunyou can be sure that Zhu Zizai is not here to cause trouble for him. As for General Xing and General Liu, they may not have any good ideas.
Then when Lu Yunyou was thinking about the attitude of the five people who came to Ling's house to watch the fun, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were already simmering with anger. From their point of view, Liu Dahai and General Xing obviously had no good intentions towards Lu Yunyou. , but with different identities, the two of them couldn't talk to each other at all.
"I wonder how confident Vice General Lu is that he can defeat the eldest son of Ling Mansion?" After Lu Yunyou sat down, Zhu Zizai took the initiative to find a topic to break the awkward atmosphere.
"We can't be sure yet. We won't know until we meet Ling Zihao." Shaking his head, Lu Yunyou didn't speak too fully.
In fact, Lu Yunyou thought about something again last night. If Ling Zihao just broke through to the seventh level of the martial arts realm and did not spend time consolidating the realm, then there would be nothing to be afraid of. If Ling Zihao's strength was stronger than those who had just reached the seventh level of the martial arts realm, then It may be a bit tricky, but of course no matter what, Ling Zihao is a person who is good at body skills after all, so he can't be too full of words.
"It seems that Lieutenant General Lu is somewhat confident. In this case, we can watch with confidence," Zhu Zi nodded with a smile on his face, as if he was happy for Lu Yunyou from the bottom of his heart.
His reaction made Lu Yunyou unable to show his inner dissatisfaction on his face. After his face slowly returned to calmness, thinking about what General Xing said about his dereliction of duty just now, Lu Yunyou took the initiative and said: "When today's matter is finished, I will be there at the end of tomorrow morning." I will return to camp to apologize to General Liu."
"Hmph, that's nice to say," but as soon as Lu Yunyou finished speaking, General Xing snorted coldly, not giving him any face.
Not paying attention to the other party's hostility, Lu Yunyou had already thought that some generals might have some prejudices against him, but this was a normal thing. Of course, he would not please those people because of this. Everything should be based on strength.
"Ling Zihao is here." Just when Lu Yunyou was thinking about the real purpose of Zhu Zizai and others coming to Ling Mansion, several figures came to the passage, led by Ling Zihao, followed by Ling Zining, Ling Zimo and others. They are the talented children of the Ling family. They all hold their heads high and arrogant, especially the leader Ling Zihao. His aura is much stronger than the ones behind him. He has the air of a leader when he walks in front. style.
Because Ling Zihao's temperament is so outstanding, some female members of the family even screamed at Ling Zihao's outstanding appearance. With his gorgeous clothes, handsome face, and cold and arrogant temperament, the whole person looked indeed handsome. Compared with Ling Zihao, The male members of each family can only feel inferior to themselves.
The noise was getting louder in each place, and everyone was commenting on Ling Zihao, all with compliments. The commotion caused by Ling Zihao's arrival was obviously much greater than when Lu Yunyou arrived.
"I didn't expect that Zihao would actually enter the ranks of seventh-level martial arts cultivators."
"Yeah, it's eye-opening that Zihao is still in the same realm as us at such a young age."
"Is it true that the Ling family's luck is so strong? Ling Zihao has already reached the seventh level of the martial arts realm at the age of twenty-five. When we were young, who could be better than him?"
"Not only us, but none of our descendants can compare with him. It seems that the Ling family will always be the largest family in Wufeng City from now on!"
"Could it be that the Ling family used some special means?"
"It is not an easy task for a martial artist to break through from the sixth level to the seventh level!"
"Unless Zihao himself is about to break through to the seventh level of the martial arts realm."
"That still shows that the Ling family's luck is strong."
…
The experienced representatives of various families marveled at Ling Zihao and talked a lot. They all wished that Ling Zihao was a descendant of their clan.
Then in the commotion, Ling Zihao walked to the area where the Ling family members were. Except for Ling Ziyu, who didn't look at him, the eyes of the other Ling family members were all focused on him. They were all thinking about how their Ling family would be in Ling Zihao's house in the future. Develop and grow under the leadership.
After not seeing each other for two days, Ling Zihao had indeed changed a lot, giving people the feeling that he was looking at him with admiration after not seeing him for three days. Lu Yunyou was somewhat surprised when his earlier guesses turned out to be true, but his expression did not change much.
"Brother Lu, Ling Zihao has really become a seventh-level martial artist. Can you beat him?" Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were even more surprised by Ling Zihao's changes, and they became worried about it.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem." After turning around and telling them not to worry, Lu Yunyou's eyes returned to Ling Zihao.
"It's really funny. A sixth-level martial artist actually made false claims about fighting with a seventh-level martial artist. I think you should give in early, lest you lose when the time comes. Not only will you be embarrassed, but you will also make the rest of us lose face." It seemed that he was deliberately targeting Lu Yunyou, After a moment of silence, General Xing seized the opportunity to attack Lu Yunyou with words.
"General Lu, although General Xing speaks rudely, there is some truth in what he said. Do you want to think about it first before making a decision?" Zhu Zizai also didn't think Lu Yunyou could beat Ling Zihao, so he persuaded directly: "I'll be honest with you. , we are here under the order of General Liu, if you return to camp with us immediately, you can still seek leniency."
"If you come back to camp with us after losing to Ling Zihao, it will be a completely different result," Zhu Zizai said in a calm tone, clarifying the situation tactfully.
"The general has already considered the martial arts contest. Don't worry, General Zhu." Meeting Zhu Zi's meaningful gaze, Lu Yunyou immediately understood the situation. The outcome of the contest between him and Ling Zihao would determine the situation after returning to the camp, that is, It is said that he not only represents himself in the competition with Ling Zihao, but also represents the Star Army behind him. The difference between this is indeed very big.
Now it seems that the outcome of today's competition is more important than he imagined, but that's fine, he also wants to use strength to solve the trouble, after all, this is the easiest way.
"You are not ashamed of your words," and Lu Yunyou's response unsurprisingly aroused General Xing's denial. General Xing had a look of contempt on his face and regarded Lu Yunyou's arrogance as a joke.
At the same time, the other three generals still maintained a wait-and-see attitude. For them, the fact that Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were next to Lu Yunyou meant that Lu Yunyou and Lan Jing were indeed very close. Then the relationship between Lu Yunyou and Lan Jing was their What cannot be ignored is that no matter what their impression of Lu Yunyou was, the three of them were not in a hurry to express it.
"Everyone, be quiet." At this moment, a loud and powerful voice came, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. When they turned around, they saw Ling Changsheng standing on the high platform waving his hands to both sides. After the surroundings quieted down, he continued He said: "I am able to invite all of you distinguished guests to attend the celebration today. On behalf of the entire Ling family, Ling would like to thank you for your warm presence."
"Ling Zihao, a descendant of the Ling family, has arrived, and General Lu is also present. If you have no objections, Ling declares that today's celebration has officially begun," he said while observing the surroundings. Ling Changsheng was very satisfied with the current atmosphere.
"A few days ago, my grandson Ling Zihao was lucky enough to understand the secret of Taoism and break through the bottleneck to become a seventh-level martial artist. I specially held this celebration to invite you to come and celebrate together, and at the same time, to give the young talents in your clan an opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity. We will show off our skills in the next celebration." After a pause, Ling Changsheng continued: "Before Zihao competes with General Lu, if any of the younger generations want to show off their skills on the stage, all the members of my Ling family can be selected as opponents."
After speaking for a while, Ling Changsheng pointed at Ling Zimo and others behind Ling Zihao. The meaning is self-evident. The children of each family can challenge Ling Zimo and others at will. As for giving the young people of the major families a chance to show off their skills, This is a form that celebrations have always had.
