A person quickly ran into the meeting hall, interrupting Xiao Zongcheng's meditation.
"What's the matter? Are you in a panic?"
Xiao Zongcheng was obviously a little unhappy. The visitor did not dare to be lazy and hurriedly knelt down and reported: "The third brother is missing!"
"Bastard! Which woman's belly is still alive when the third child dies?" Xiao Zongcheng slammed the table angrily and cursed loudly.
"Some people said that they were helping their subordinates to take revenge and brought a few people to the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range. Then some people said that they saw Long Li of the Long family and a few people go in first. Is there any problem with this..." The visitor was one-five-ten.
Report to Xiao Zong.
"Um……"
Xiao Zongcheng's expression softened, and he tapped the fingers of his left hand back and forth on the armrest of the chair, making a "ta-da-da-da" sound. After thinking for a while, he said: "Although Long Li is also a fifth-grade spiritual person, with the strength of the third child,
, there won’t be any problems, is Lao Wu back? Let him prepare first, there won’t be any problems in the competition with the Long family tomorrow!”
"yes!'
"Wait a minute, send a few people to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range to have a look. If they find the third child, let him come back first. In addition, send people to keep an eye on the Long family to see if Long Li has come back. Keep an eye on him. Do you hear me clearly?"
"yes!"
"Go for it!"
The sound of hurried footsteps gradually faded away, and only the faint sound of finger tapping remained in the entire meeting hall.
Outside Longfu
Long Ke'er jumped off a carriage and ran into the mansion. Two guards in black followed Long Ke'er's figure.
"Sorry, this is an emergency, please forgive me little brother." Long Li took off his disguise and apologized to Xie Lingjun.
"It's okay, I understand, just call me Lingjun." Xie Lingjun said with a smile.
"Okay, Lingjun, I have to take Wang San to see the head of the house, so I'll excuse you now. Little sister, go to the hall with your brother Lingjun and wait. The head of the house and I will be there later." Long Li took the photo.
He patted Xie Lingjun's arm, called the guards behind him, and left with the unconscious Wang San.
Xie Lingjun followed Long Keer to the hall. Several maids brought some fruits and pears. Xie Lingjun thought of some jokes to tease Long Keer. The whole hall echoed with Long Keer's silvery laughter.
"Haha, this is Xie Lingjun, Xie Shi's nephew?"
A loud voice interrupted Xie Lingjun's laughter.
"Daddy!"
Long Keer happily ran over and hugged the visitor. The visitor was none other than Long Shiqian, the current head of the Long family. Xie Lingjun took a pleasant look and saw that Long Li was almost carved out of the same mold as Long Shiqian, except that Long Shiqian looked more
He was older and more dignified. Xie Lingjun stood up quickly and saluted.
"Haha, I have heard the name of nephew Xie Shiqi for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed very impressive. Come on, sit down. You're welcome." Long Shiqian looked at Xie Lingjun, nodded, walked up to him, and pulled Xie Lingjun to sit down.
"Shibo, thank you for the reward." Xie Lingjun returned the gift humbly.
"Speaking of which, nephew Xie Shi has a close relationship with our Long family. Not only did he save Ke'er, but he also helped our Long family a big favor today!" Master Long said happily, and with a move of his right hand, Long Li appeared, holding a
Master Long took down the bag, handed it to Xie Lingjun, and continued: "It's a small thank you, just to express my feelings, and please don't dislike it, my nephew."
"That's not good. Actually, they came to trouble me first..." Xie Lingjun pushed back the bag. In fact, with Xie Lingjun's family background, he couldn't afford any gifts.
"Actually... I have something to ask of you." Long Shiqian pushed the bag over again.
"This..." Xie Lingjun was a little surprised. After thinking about it for a moment, he didn't push it away and didn't rush to accept it. He asked: "Does Long Shibo have something to say? But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Haha, nephew Xie is an open-minded person, so I won't talk in roundabout ways. To be honest, my Long family has something to ask for. I think my nephew has already learned that my Long family is running for the position of the leader of Lingyun City with the Black Dragon Gang. "The competition will begin tomorrow. Now our strength is somewhat lacking and we have some problems with our manpower. I wonder if nephew Xie Shi is willing to help our Long family?" Long Shiqian looked at Xie Lingjun eagerly.
"Uncle Shibo, the Long family has a profound background, why is there still a problem in the hands of the people, and with the strength of my second-grade spiritual being, I'm afraid I can't be of much help..." Xie Lingjun hesitated.
"This is all the work of that Scar King San. He used his dirty tricks to injure or disable more than half of the contestants on our side. The rest almost didn't dare to participate after seeing it. There is a serious shortage of manpower. I heard from Long Li that you can defeat Wang San, so you must have some strength. I won't ask you to do anything. I just need you to look after and protect Keer in tomorrow's competition." Long Shiqian's almost pleading eyes made Xie Lingjun Feeling uncomfortable all over.
"What kind of competition, why do you want Ke'er to go?" Xie Lingjun asked quickly.
"This is a competition between our two forces. Each party sends fifteen cultivators each under the age of thirty to hunt spirit beasts in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Which side will get three first-level spirit beast inner pills within three hours? In order to win, the winner of this competition can get a 20% support rate from the old city lord's side." Long Shiqian said, with a hint of bitterness on his face.
"Can I give up?" Xie Lingjun really didn't understand. He said in his heart that he could still fight even though he was like this?
"Sigh... give up? Easier said than done? Our Long Family and the Black Dragon Gang have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. They are incompatible with each other. Once we fail, the Long Family and the people behind the Long Family will all suffer disaster at the hands of the Black Dragon Gang..." Master Long Qian Take a deep breath.
"Okay, I agreed. Anyway, I have some quarrels with the Black Dragon Gang, so I won't cause trouble to me in the future." Xie Lingjun ignored it and gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay! So, the Long family would like to thank the nephew for his help. Mr. Long will thank you!"
Long Shiqian was overjoyed when he received Xie Lingjun's answer. He was about to bow and thank him. How much pressure did he have to endure to force the head of the family to do this? Xie Lingjun quickly supported him and said:
"Shibo, you can't do it!"
"Haha, it's my fault. You'd better take this. I'll probably need it tomorrow." Long Shiqian picked up the bag and stuffed it directly into Xie Lingjun's arms.
"Okay, thank you very much, Uncle Shi." Xie Lingjun accepted it without any courtesy.
"Well, let's rest first. I'll ask Long Li to find you tomorrow. Li'er, take your nephew to the guest room to rest and take good care of him." Long Shiqian told Long Li.
"yes!"
"Thank you, Shibo."
Long Li led Xie Lingjun and Long Ke'er away. Seeing this, Long Shiqian also left the meeting hall. He looked at the direction Xie Lingjun left and walked into the next room. But just as he stepped through the door, a voice came from a dark corner. came.
"Have you figured out his details?" A figure appeared in the darkness. The light source was very dim, making it difficult to see clearly, but his words were very rude.
Long Shiqian quickly turned around and closed the door, and replied respectfully: "Most likely he is not from the Black Dragon Gang. Both Ke'er and Li'er said he came from Mr. Ling."
"Mr. Ling?" The figure was thoughtful, as if remembering something, "That old doctor in Nanyang Town?"
"That's right." Long Shiqian nodded.
"What about the old man?" the figure continued to ask.
"That guy said he went to travel around the world. I sent someone to check and found that no one was in the pharmacy." Long Shiqian continued to answer, and asked the figure eagerly: "About the election..."
"I know." The figure replied impatiently, and the figure gradually disappeared.
"Thank you, Deacon Tianlong!" Long Shiqian bowed respectfully in the direction where the figure disappeared, stood up straight, his eyes seemed to have light, and he laughed happily.
