Chapter 42 [Confusing]
Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...
As Yin Zhengtian started to applaud, others also followed suit, and finally turned into a round of applause. However, Ge Xian ignored it and stretched out a finger to point at the acupuncture point on his back, injecting a spiritual power into the black bodyguard, his Xiaoyao Jue Spiritual energy can heal.
The people present suddenly became quiet when they saw that Ge Xian did not care about the praises of the people around him, but was concentrating on treating the black bodyguard.
With the help of Ge Xian's spiritual power, the black bodyguard finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he almost felt that he couldn't breathe.
"Thank you, uncle." Seeing that his life was no longer in danger, Ge Xian left him and walked towards Xu Xuan and others.
Arriving in front of Xu Xuan, Ge Xian first took the initiative to clasp his fists and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm here."
"Okay... okay!" Xu Xuan was very excited. Although Ge Xian's performance was a little aloof, he still showed the demeanor of a master, which made his Xu family gain face in front of the Yin family and the provincial family.
However, Xu Xuan is a talented person. How could he miss the opportunity to surrender to Yin Zhengtian? He took Ge Xian's hand and introduced to him: "Young Master Yin, this is the distinguished guest invited by my Xu family this time, and she is also my daughter. My classmate——Ge Xian!”
Yin Zhengtian had changed his appearance at this time and became more enthusiastic. He stretched out his hand to hold Ge Xian's hand and said: "It is true that heroes have been born since ancient times. This little brother is so skilled at a young age. He will definitely become a great weapon in the future. , how about becoming a tribute to my Yin family, and receiving favorable treatment and other benefits."
This sentence immediately made many martial arts practitioners around him go crazy with jealousy. The Yin family was an imperial merchant, and its wealth was unparalleled. It also had a wide network of contacts. Once a martial artist boarded the Yin family's giant ship, no matter whether it was glory or wealth, The future will be within your reach, and almost no one can refuse the Yin family, as long as you are an ambitious person.
Xu Xuan's face suddenly became nervous. He didn't expect Yin Zhengtian to play his cards so unconventionally. Before the two sides started competing, the other side started poaching. It was so arrogant and disgusting. It's a pity that the Yin family has such confidence.
The Yin family also plays an important role in the capital city, let alone in a small provincial capital.
Unfortunately, under the eyes of many expectant and jealous eyes, Ge Xian slowly shook his head at Yin Zhengtian and expressed his rejection.
"People from the mountains are used to being rough. They like freedom and are not restrained. I'm sorry." After saying that, he stood next to Xu Xuan and ignored Yin Zhengtian.
This is the first time, the first time that he has clearly refused the Yin family's solicitation in public. This Ge Xian is simply going against the will of heaven.
Suddenly, many people began to search for who this young man was.
There are some mixed news about Ge Xian on the Internet, but in general it can be summarized as follows: first, he is recognized as the school's idol and very handsome; second, his grades are very good, he is the first in the province and the top talent in this college entrance examination; Third, he was born into a commoner family, his parents were powerless, he was a typical working-class kid, he had no connections, and his amazing skills came from nowhere. In short, he was very ordinary and very mysterious.
Yin Zhengtian laughed loudly, calmly retracted his hand and said, "It's good to have personality. This is what young people should do."
Later, his attitude towards Xu Xuan improved greatly, and it seemed that he began to really pay attention to this rising family who wanted to join his Yin family camp.
This place is called "Zuifeng Mountain". It was invested and built by a local Confucian businessman in the provincial capital. He also rented the entire mountain for a full period of forty years, which was enough to make enough money.
Zuifeng Mountain is not open to the public, it is only open to members, and not to individuals. Only families with high assets and high reputation in the provincial capital are invited to gather here to discuss matters.
Being able to join Zuifeng Mountain means that your family has been recognized and accepted by the upper class circles of the province. Otherwise, you are not in the upper class. No matter how your personal assets are, you are just a nouveau riche in the eyes of the upper class. Once you or your family are labeled as nouveau riche, it will be impossible to get along in the market in the provincial capital, and you will always be able to make a small amount of money.
Zui Fengshan has always wanted to go out of the provincial capital and face the whole country, but he had no choice but to have a national-level recommender. Now, the Yin family is here.
The news that the Xu family is eager to join the Yin family began to spread half a year ago. In fact, this statement was made a few years ago, but it was suppressed by the Tantai family, an established family. Until something happened to the Tantai family last year, this year The head of the Tantai family passed away suddenly again, and the Xu family was finally able to get rid of this old tiger and began to fall into the arms of the giant Yin family.
Zuifengshan immediately invited the Xu family to hold their meeting with the Yin family here, and also invited all members within the province, as well as some friendly members from other provinces, to observe, discuss, and cooperate together. In short, today is a grand event in the provincial capital, not just for the Xu family.
Ge Xian was naturally placed at the banquet on the side of the Xu family. The people at his table were not ordinary people, but masters who had been invited to help.
There are eight people in total, excluding Ge Xian, there are seven. Two are older, one male and one female. They are probably over fifty years old, but Ge Xian feels it is difficult to judge. After all, if the other person is a monk, then it is difficult to tell their age. .
The remaining five people are three men and two women, all between thirty and forty years old, but they look young, probably because they have practiced martial arts for a long time and are not prone to aging.
Ge Xian was naturally the youngest person at the table. He was under twenty years old and could be described as a young hero. And although his strength had not yet been fully revealed, he had already defeated many people with his extremely fast hands.
"How can you tree people down there!"
"I'm here, Longbei Wanxiangu!"
"I am Wang Chengyi of Tiannan!"
"I'm going to Jiangdong Li Xian!"
"Mobei Dongfang wins!"
"Penglai Hu Jiuniang!"
"Qingxi Yunziyi!"
When Ge Xian saw these seniors starting to introduce themselves to him, he had no choice but to clasp his fists and say, "I'm here, Cangluo Ge Xian!"
After finally signing up, everyone felt a little familiar with each other. It was also the first time for Ge Xian to participate in an activity to help others. He was a little curious, could he just go on stage and fight for the sponsor's father?
He expressed this meaning tactfully, and the other seven people looked at him with some laughter. Then the oldest He Shuren said: "Brother Ge, you don't know something..."
Although it was a little awkward to hear such an old man, who was nearly a decade older than him, call him Brother Ge, Ge Xian still tried his best to adapt to this atmosphere.
"Brother, please give me some advice!" Ge Xian asked honestly. Others felt very pleased with his attitude. After all, Ge Xian was already very powerful even before he was young. If his attitude was aggressive, others would not know how to get along with him. , he definitely didn’t dare to offend, but he didn’t want to cooperate. Fortunately, although Ge Xian was not one of the eight exquisite people, he also knew how to deal with the world.
Seeing that Ge Xian was asking for advice so humbly, He Shuren put down his wine glass and said: "Brother Ge, eight of us are here to help the gold master, but only three of us are actually on the field, five at most, and the rest can only It’s considered preparation, just in case.”
"Well, could it be that the competition will be best of three or best of five?" Ge Xian suddenly figured out something.
He Shuren nodded and continued: "Generally speaking, it is the two types. After all, there are too many competitions and it loses its meaning, so it is usually a win-win situation. Each side sends three strongest people. One is a general, one is a lieutenant general, and the remaining one is a junior general."
"It's interesting. Is it the way a general will play against a general and a lieutenant against a lieutenant general?" Ge Xian asked curiously.
Hu Jiuniang from Penglai couldn't help but interjected: "This is an orthodox gameplay on the surface, but in fact there are many hidden tricks in it, such as deliberately disrupting the order, or using senior generals as junior generals, and all the people arranging the troops are also very The key is usually the sponsor himself, but there are also cases where one person is chosen from among the helpers.”
"Does that mean you can fight without getting tired of deception?" Ge Xian asked back.
"You can teach me!" He Shuren nodded in approval, took over the conversation, and continued: "So, the real competition will not be today, but tomorrow. Tonight, three of us will select three contestants. , and the rest were prepared as preparations. This time, the sponsor, Boss Xu, was cautious and spared no expense to invite eight of us. It seemed that he was very concerned about it, but because the Xu family wanted to show their strength through this competition and join the Yin family camp. Purpose, so we boxers cannot attack too hard, otherwise it will hurt the harmony and affect the goal of the sponsor."
Ge Xian kept nodding. It turned out that this rich man's gameplay was really different. He used people as chess pieces and himself as the chess player, setting up games, triggering fights, satisfying the eyes, and maybe even placing bets. He was really a bastard!
"These rich and powerful people really dare to play, aren't they afraid of getting angry?" Ge Xian couldn't help but say.
Everyone else was silent for a while, and then Yun Ziyi, a dignified and beautiful woman from Qingxi, sighed and said: "This is not the case in today's world. We warriors often have to run around for money, even big When it comes to fighting, perhaps only those monks who have jumped out of the secular rules can ignore these mundane rules. Unfortunately, we people may not have any chance of cultivating the Tao in this life."
"What are you talking about? Brother Ge is still young. There is no need to listen to this. Let me tell you about another way of competition that rarely appears." Li Xian from Jiangdong spoke. He is a handsome and personable man, and he seems to be interested in it. Yun Ziyi has a good impression, and the two of them may have a close relationship.
Ge Xian smiled at him and said, "Brother Li, please teach me. I wonder what kind of competition it is?"
Li Xian first offered a toast to Ge Xian, but Ge Xian didn't care. He drank it in one sip, and then evaporated the alcohol in a cheating way. Seeing this, the others also toasted in a circle. Ge Xian was always willing to drink it, and drank it in one gulp. The other seven people were all amazed, and their drinking capacity was astonishing.
After a few drinks, everyone relaxed a lot. Li Xian suddenly said with a little excitement: "There is another kind of competition that is more exciting and more dangerous. It is also a survival mode that young people like to play nowadays."
"Battle Royale?" Ge Xian asked.
"Yes, this is the mode. However, our kind of competition usually does not hurt the opponent's life like in the game, but I am afraid that serious injuries cannot be avoided. At that time, they will demarcate an area, and then use cameras to monitor the lives of the people inside throughout the process. The purpose of all activities is to get out of this area, and whichever side has the most people walking out in the end will be the winner, otherwise it will lose." Li Xian's words immediately made several people present frown. It was obvious that everyone was very interested. Reject this kind of gameplay.
Wan Xiangu from Longbei said displeasedly: "Brother Li just likes to scare Brother Ge. Although this mode is exciting, it is also prone to accidents. Moreover, the money owner has to pay several times the fee. I don't think Boss Xu will agree."
"Hmph, Boss Xu will naturally not agree, but what if Master Yin insists on doing this?" Li Xian was also a little unhappy and counterattacked.
"This..." Wan Xiangu suddenly panicked. After all, she is old. She is not as good as these young people. One-on-one combat is okay, and she has some confidence. Once it is in melee mode, it will be dangerous. People like her are so obvious. Those who are regarded as the backbone of the team will definitely be targeted by the opponent. Once they are besieged, even if they don't die, they will suffer a serious illness and their life expectancy will be shortened by a few years, so it won't be worthwhile.
Wang Chengyi sneered, looked at Ge Xian, and couldn't help being surprised when he saw that he didn't look scared, and said: "The key to the battle royale mode is to have skilled teamwork and at the same time have core combat capabilities. Now among the few of us , Brother Ge is probably the strongest and is suitable to be used as the core combat force. If we can be under the leadership of Brother Ge, I believe that even in the battle royale mode, we can be safe and sound."
Dongfang Sheng, who came from Mobei, glanced at Gexian with a somewhat indifferent expression. He seemed to be very unconvinced, but did not refute. The other people looked at Gexian with a somewhat unnatural look. After all, being led by a young man, how much face does it cost? Can't even hang on.
Ge Xian felt that Wang Chengyi was a bit weird. It seemed that the other person was not jealous of him, but wanted to make him the target of public criticism. He disrupted the originally good atmosphere and made everyone have a bad impression of Ge Xian.
"Brother Wang thinks too highly of me. I am the youngest and the latest to arrive. Naturally, I obey the orders of my brothers and sisters. Besides, saying that I am the strongest is too inferior. We have never fought against each other, so why should we? Brother Wang, do you have any deep meaning in saying this?" A few words put Wang Chengyi into an embarrassing situation, and He Shuren and others immediately reacted and looked at him with unkind expressions.
"Hmph, what can I say? Since you are so familiar with Boss Jin, maybe the boss will hand over the command to you. We are just here to help. The wine here is not good. I will change it. Place." Wang Chengyi stood up and left, and then Dongfang Shengyin left too drunk. I don't know if he caught up with Wang Chengyi to discuss something.
He Shuren sighed and comforted Ge Xian: "The two of them are secretive to begin with, and Boss Jin doesn't seem to be very satisfied with them, but for some reason, he still invited them over. Maybe they are really capable."
Wan Xiangu also got up at this time. Since she was old, she needed to rest and wait for the internal selection in the evening. She wanted to recharge her energy for this.
Afterwards, Hu Jiuniang also stood up and left, saying that she also had to make some preparations. In the end, only He Shuren, Li Xian and Yun Ziyi were left.
"Seniors, it seems that my appearance has caused discord among you. I'm very sorry, but I owe the sponsor a favor, and I'm also keen on the bounty, so I'm still here, although I don't expect it. I want everyone's understanding, but I hope you three can understand me." Ge Xian knew that he was still being ostracized, after all, his appearance put too much pressure on others.
He Shuren comforted him for a few words and then left.
Li Xian was quite enthusiastic and told Ge Xian not to care about the jealousy and dissatisfaction of those people. As long as he has the strength, it is not impossible to draw chestnuts from the fire. At the critical moment, you still have to rely on yourself.
He was helped to leave while drunk. Ge Xian was still a little grateful to this person. When he turned around, he found that Yun Ziyi was still there, seeming to be waiting for him.
The banquet seemed to be very peaceful. Xu Xuan and his party did not come over to propose a toast. This may be for internal selection considerations in the evening and to prevent others from thinking that he was showing favoritism, even though several people already thought that he would definitely show favoritism.
As for Yin Zhengtian, he did not come to join in the fun. After all, his place was too lively and busy. A number of family leaders or representatives from the provincial capital and nearby provincial capitals gathered around him to show their kindness, just to cope with these. It is difficult for Yin Zhengtian to escape.
"Sister Yun, you haven't left yet?" Seeing that Yun Ziyi didn't look drunk, Ge Xian sat back curiously.
Yun Ziyi raised his head and glanced at him. At this time, Ge Xian had already taken off his hat and sunglasses, revealing a delicate face.
"I'm waiting for you." Yun Ziyi suddenly said such ambiguous words, and Ge Xian felt a little nervous. He seemed to have more feelings for older women, but he didn't have much feelings for women of the same age, such as Xu Mengjie.
Yun Ziyi must be in her early thirties at most, but because she takes good care of herself, she looks like she is in her mid-twenties. She is wearing a purple dress, her hair is in an antique style, and her face is oval-shaped, with delicate features, making her look like a movie star. The look made Ge Xian a little moved.
"Sister Yun, don't be joking. We met for the first time today. How can we be so familiar? It can't be that we hit it off right?" Ge Xian subconsciously picked up the bottle, raised his neck and poured the wine.
"Hey, your drinking capacity is really good. You drank so much just now, can you still drink it now?" Yun Ziyi was shocked when she saw Ge Xian blowing the bottle directly. She had silently calculated that Ge Xian drank It was very bold and unrestrained, and welcomed all comers. Although the banquet was not long, at least two kilograms were consumed. However, this bottle weighed at least two kilograms, and it was still so drinkable?
Ge Xian immediately put down the bottle, coughed for a while, and smiled awkwardly: "I forgot, it's my first time to drink so much, I might get drunk later."
It was still afternoon, and there were still a few hours before night. Yun Ziyi said angrily: "I don't know if you can really drink or if you are pretending to be able to drink. There is an internal selection tonight, so don't really get drunk."
"Okay... okay, thank you sister Yun for your concern. I'm going back to the room first." Ge Xian stood up, feeling very embarrassed for being so frustrated in front of a beautiful sister.
However, Yun Ziyi still called him, and then moved her whole body closer, so close that the fragrance of her body penetrated into Ge Xian's nostrils, and the alluring body fragrance overflowed in her heart, making Ge Xian I wish I could hold this woman in my arms.
"No, how could I have such an idea!" Ge Xian bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain immediately restored his clarity.
Seeing this, Yun Ziyi's eyes showed surprise, then his lips were almost touching Ge Xian's ear, and he said in a breathy voice: "Ge Xian, remember, this is your first time to participate in assisting boxing, so you must rely on yourself. , no one else should believe it, including me, do you understand?" After saying that, the woman pulled away and left, which made Ge Xian feel sad and disappointed.
Originally, Ge Xian thought she was deliberately seducing him, but when the other party said such words, he was instantly unsure.
"Alas, women are much scarier than men in gray robes." Ge Xian couldn't help but sigh. It was the first time he discovered that mature women were so lethal. Unfortunately, he seemed to be very good at it. What should he do?
