After the servant of Prince Chen's Mansion left, Lin Bai kept thinking in his heart and repeated these words.
Sure enough, his guess was correct. The competition between the warriors from the Eastern Region and the Northern Region warriors in the Divine Weapon Pavilion has already involved the pull of the peak strength between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region... Lin Bai frowned secretly, feeling another desire for mountain rain.
It feels like the wind is blowing all over the building.
Just at this time.
The maid came again to report, "Master Langhou, Senior Pan Qing invites you to come over."
"Got it." Lin Bai responded, walked out of the house, and went to the meeting hall.
What does the ancestor want from me?... Lin Bai also had some doubts in his heart.
When he came to the meeting hall, he saw that the door was closed. Lin Bai stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Ancestor, my disciple Lin Bai wants to see you."
"Come in." Pan Qing responded.
Lin Bai opened the door and looked inside, seeing not only Pan Qing but also a figure in the dark and lightless hall.
This person is wearing a robe made of brocade robes, holding a fly whisk on his wrist, wearing an official hat on his head, and has a fair face.
Although he is middle-aged, he does not have any stubble on his face.
Eunuch? Someone is coming from the palace?... Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then walked in calmly.
"I have met Mr. Wolf Marquis." The fair-faced eunuch smiled and bowed to Lin Bai.
"I've met my father-in-law." Lin Bai returned the greeting with a smile.
Ancestor Pan Qing introduced: "Holy Son, this is Eunuch Xi, a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu."
Eunuch Xi smiled and said, "We are here today to teach His Majesty's spoken language to Lord Langhou."
Lin Bai looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your Majesty's instructions."
Eunuch Xi's face straightened and he said seriously: "Your Majesty has decreed that when the Holy Son is competing with the warriors from the Northern Territory in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the Holy Son must not leave!"
"I obey the order." Lin Bai's expression was relatively calm, and there was not much turmoil in his heart.
"Since the oral instructions have been conveyed, let's take our leave." After saying this, Eunuch Xi turned and left.
After seeing off their father-in-law, Pan Qing and Lin Bai stood side by side in the meeting hall.
Pan Qing looked solemn, "I heard that Bai Yifei and Zhou Xinjun were all defeated in the Shenbing Pavilion today?"
Lin Bai nodded and said yes.
Pan Qing sighed, "In the past two days, the Chen family and the Tianxian Sect were also defeated one after another?"
Lin Bai had no expression on his face and hummed again.
"Hey." Pan Qing sighed and looked at Lin Bai with a frown, "Can't you say a few more words?"
Lin Bai frowned slightly and looked at his ancestor, "Ancestor, does he have any news from the frontier?"
Ancestor Pan Qing's eyes suddenly shrank, "What happened to the border? The border between the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory?"
"Is something going to happen?"
Hearing Patriarch Pan Qing's repeated questions, Lin Bai also knew that he didn't know anything about the frontier.
But this is correct. How can border affairs be announced to the world at will?
If it were announced to the world now that the Northern Territory warriors were eyeing the border, it is estimated that the Eastern Territory warriors would have to capture and kill all the Northern Territory warriors in the imperial capital.
Although the royal family has news about the border, it is obviously highly confidential.
As long as the northern warriors did not break through the "Tianya Pass", the royal family would not announce the news of the war.
After all, once a territorial war like the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory begins, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the world.
Now if you want to know the exact news about the border area, you can only ask His Highness King Chen... Lin Bai murmured in his heart.
But Lin Bai didn't want to ask.
After all, it is better to do less than to do more.
Even if the warriors from the Northern Territory really attack the Eastern Territory, the royal family will naturally worry about it.
Lin Bai didn't want to care about these things.
At this time.
The maid came again to report, "Master Langhou, Chen Yule, the holy son of the Chen family, and Yi Song, the holy son of the Tianxian Sect, jointly invite you to gather at the Immortal Tower tonight."
The maid brought up the invitation.
After Lin Bai finished reading, he turned his head and glanced at Pan Qing.
Pan Qing said: "Since our Tianshui Sect has received His Majesty's oral instructions, I think all the five sects and seven sects of Chu State, as long as the Holy Son is in the imperial capital, have also received the oral instructions."
"Chen Yule and Yi Song would like to invite you to have a chat."
"At the same time, I also want to discuss how to deal with the group of northern barbarians in the northern region."
Northern Barbarian... Lin Bai smiled, this was a derogatory term for the warriors from the Eastern Region to the warriors from the Northern Region.
The warriors from the Eastern Region call the Southern Region Nanmanzi and the Northern Region Northern Manzi, both with contempt.
"Lin Bai, what countermeasures do you have?" Pan Qing asked curiously.
"What can we do?" Lin Bai shrugged and spread his hands, as if helpless, "It depends on how the royal family handles it."
"If the royal family wants us, the Holy Sons, to take action, then we should take action."
"If the royal family does not intend to pay attention to the Northern Territory warriors, then ignore this matter. When the birthday of Emperor Chu is over, this matter will naturally disappear."
Pan Qing frowned and said, "But this is so embarrassing! None of the five families and seven sects of the Eastern Region are any match for the warriors of the Northern Region."
Lin Bai said helplessly: "So now we have to think clearly? Is the safety of the Chu Kingdom more important? Or is the sect's face more important?"
“You have to understand the trade-offs.”
Pan Qing snorted, "The royal family will definitely not care about the face of the five families and seven sects. We would be very grateful if they didn't deal with us."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "There is a high probability that this matter will be delayed by the royal family, and they will ignore the provocation of the warriors from the Northern Territory."
Pan Qing felt that what Lin Bai said made sense, and it seemed like a good decision to ignore the Northern Territory warriors now.
Before you know it, the sun sets in the west and the moon rises in the east.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Lin Bai walked out of the Tianshui Sect's palace and took Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, and Ye Guyu to the Immortal Tower.
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun and others still have not returned to the palace, but the elders of the Tianshui Sect have contacted them. It is said that they were drinking in a tavern with the warriors of the Chen family's Tianxian Sect.
Since Bai Yifei and others were not in danger, Lin Bai was lucky to leave them alone.
When he arrived at the Immortal Tower, he told the maid that it was Chen Yule who invited Lin Bai to come.
The maid led Lin Bai and others outside the private room. Before he could open the door and go in, Lin Bai heard roars and sounds of things being thrown inside.
"Asshole! Asshole!"
"Pap! Pah! Pah!"
The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she carefully opened the door and let Lin Bai and Qiao Mo walk in.
After entering, Lin Bai saw the mess all over the ground.
Chen Yule and Chen Yun sat expressionlessly on their seats, while Yi Song was more like an angry lion, smashing the jade porcelain to pieces.
"It seems that you are not in a good mood." Lin Bai walked in with a smile.
"Brother Lin is here." Chen Yule and Yi Song looked at the door at the same time, without showing the slightest smile on their faces.
Yi Song couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Lin, do you know everything about what happened in the Shenbingbao Tower Competition Venue?"
"Our three major sects have all been defeated by the warriors from the Northern Territory."
"I know everything." Lin Bai smiled and sat on the seat, "And I saw it with my own eyes."
Yi Song frowned deeply, "Then think of a way! Don't let the Northern Territory warriors be so arrogant!"
