The martial arts conference was not as crowded as Li Muchen imagined. There were only a few dozen people attending the conference.
Sister Mei said that these dozens of people represent the Nanjiang Wulin.
Most of them are heads or elders of various sects. They are all well-known figures in the local area. In the eyes of their disciples, they are even more amazing seniors.
But here, everyone is sitting upright in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the two great masters, like elementary school students waiting for the teacher to come to class after the bell rings.
Li Muchen didn't have an invitation letter, and naturally he didn't have a special seat. Fortunately, there were some scattered seats at the scene, but the location was a little different, in the corner. The people sitting here obviously have a lower status.
Li Muchen didn't care and took Ma Shan and Lin Yun to sit over.
Sister Mei and the other two simply gave up their seats and sat with him.
As soon as they sat down, two old acquaintances came over and greeted them.
One is Li Zhendong, and the other is Wu Xiuyi, who has now been renamed Wu Debiao. They represent the Iron Clothes Sect and the Eagle Claw Sect respectively.
The two of them often hang out in Jianghu Restaurant, especially Wu Xiuyi, who also worked as a vegetable washer in Jianghu Restaurant for a period of time and is very familiar with them.
After saying hello, the two of them did not return to their seats, but sat down next to Master Rong.
This hall was originally used for exhibitions. It was very spacious. After removing all the exhibition walls and exhibition equipment, it seemed empty. There were more than a hundred people inside, and it felt sparse. On the contrary, their corner seemed a little more lively.
Sister Mei introduced the people sitting in the hall to Li Muchen. If there were some she didn't know, Li Zhendong and Wu Debiao added them.
Li Muchen was not interested in these people and just listened numbly. In fact, he was not interested in the entire martial arts conference. He came to participate because he wanted to solve some things.
The Immortal Sect Conference that happens every sixty years, also called the Yaochi Conference, is what interests him.
Instead, it was the two people in the opposite corner who caught his attention.
These two people are not together, one is in the northeast corner and the other is in the southeast corner.
The one in the northeast corner is a middle-aged man, short and thin, with a mustache. He looks ordinary. Because he is sitting in the corner, his status is definitely not high, so he naturally attracts less attention.
But Li Muchen felt a strong and unyielding aura from him.
This is a master.
The person in the southeast corner is a young woman with good facial features, but her skin is dark, but she is not naturally dark, it should be caused by being exposed to the sun all year round.
This woman is not a master of martial arts, but she possesses special skills and is probably a witch cultivator.
Although he noticed these two people, they had nothing to do with Li Muchen, and Sister Mei would not introduce him to the people sitting in the corner, so he just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.
After a while, two people came in from the VIP aisle. They were two women, one old and one young.
People in the hall became commotion and stepped forward to greet him respectfully.
Sister Mei whispered in Li Muchen's ear: "This is She Biqing, who is also a grandmaster. But she is not from Nanjiang, but lives in the Guan family in Oucheng. Therefore, when talking about Nanjiang grandmasters, they only talk about Liu Jinsheng and He Changchun. She
The person next to me is Guan Yali, the eldest daughter of the Guan family in Oucheng."
Li Muchen nodded. In fact, as soon as he saw Guan Yali, he guessed the identity of the old lady next to her.
She Biqing greeted everyone with a smile and sat down in the VIP seats.
Guan Yali looked around the hall, as if looking for someone. After looking around, she looked a little disappointed. Suddenly she saw Li Muchen in the corner, and walked over happily.
"Master Li, why are you sitting here?"
"This place is quite nice." Li Muchen replied with a smile, then looked at the old lady at the VIP table, "Boss Guan, that..."
"She is my aunt. I have also mentioned you to him. When this conference is over, I will take you to see her. But..." Guan Yali smiled slyly, "My aunt is very picky.
If you want her to trust you, you have to show off your skills."
Meeting She Biqing was one of the main purposes of Li Muchen's visit today.
The old lady was a guest of the Li family in the capital. Of course he would not miss this opportunity to learn about his parents and the clues to the Li family's destruction.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Li Muchen said.
Guan Yali is gone.
Sister Mei looked at Li Muchen in surprise: "Do you know the Guan family?"
Li Muchen said: "I only know Guan Yali."
Sister Mei said: "This is the first time I heard you say the word 'try your best'. It seems that this old lady She is very important to you. I really want to see what it will look like if you try your best."
Others are curious too.
Li Muchen is magical in their eyes, but he seems to have never used his full strength. They are looking forward to Li Muchen's "best effort".
Time passed by minute by second, and soon, a few more people came out from the VIP channel, led by a rather wealthy middle-aged man, who should be around fifty or sixty years old.
Li Muchen concluded from the aura on that man's body that he was also a master. His martial arts cultivation was not as high as that of Changchun, but it was higher than that of She Biqing.
However, She Biqing also has a feminine aura that is different from martial arts. Although she is very restrained, she cannot escape Li Muchen's eyes. He judged that in addition to practicing martial arts, She Biqing should also be a member of the Taoist sect, but her practice is biased toward witchcraft.
The side door.
Although witchcraft has become a heretical practice, its source is still the orthodox sect of the Immortal Family. When one practices it to a high and deep level, all methods return to the sect.
Therefore, in terms of cultivation, She Biqing is higher than this person, and even compared with He Changchun who has mastered martial arts, she may not be worse.
Sister Mei continued to introduce: "That is Jinling Grandmaster Bai Fuming."
"In the martial arts competition in Nanjiang, She Biqing lives in Nanjiang. Why is he from Jinling here?"
"When Liu Jinsheng and He Changchun compete in martial arts, there must be someone to judge them. They are both grandmasters. When masters compete in martial arts, they cannot let a group of people below grandmasters be the judges, right? What's more, Bai Fuming is also the president of the East China Martial Arts Association.
, it will come naturally."
Li Muchen wondered: "This person's cultivation is obviously not that of Changchun. How did he become the president of the East China Martial Arts Association?"
Sister Mei looked at him in surprise: "Are you sure he's not like Changchun?"
Li Muchen forgot that Sister Mei and the others could not tell their cultivation level, so he smiled and said, "It's just a guess."
Sister Mei felt that since Li Muchen said it, even if it was a guess, it was probably true. However, this had nothing to do with whether he should be the president or not. She said: "The president is a position, and it does not mean his skill level. The reason why he can become the president is
Because the person standing behind him is the Jinling Zhu family. His master is Jinling Zhu Xiaoyuan."
"Jinling Zhu family?"
Li Muchen had never heard of either the Jinling Zhu family or Zhu Xiaoyuan. He could only look at Sister Mei blankly, waiting for her to continue.
"You really don't know about the Jinling Zhu family and Zhu Xiaoyuan?" Sister Mei was also a little surprised.
Li Muchen shook his head.
"You really come from the mountains and know nothing about these things!" Sister Mei sighed, "The Zhu family is the first family in Jiangdong, and their ancestors are royal family. They have a very deep foundation, but they are relatively low-key and not very keen on doing business.
It is easy for the outside world to ignore it. But in the upper class, as long as the Zhu family of Jinling is mentioned, everyone will know about it."
"Then Zhu Xiaoyuan is the head of the Zhu family?"
"No, Zhu Xiaoyuan is over a hundred years old. He is the first grandmaster in Jiangdong. I heard that he cultivated martial arts decades ago. Bai Fuming is his disciple. With the relationship between the Zhu family and Zhu Xiaoyuan, he should
As the president of the East China Martial Arts Association, no one is dissatisfied and it is easy to do things."
"I see."
Li Muchen pondered. I wonder if the Zhu family is among the eight wealthy families that originally expelled Lang Yuwen?
Not long after Bai Fuming sat down, another person walked into the VIP aisle.
When Sister Mei saw this person, her expression suddenly changed and she exclaimed in surprise: "Why are people from Kowloon Island here too!"
