Lin Bai was stunned. There were thousands of invitations piled up in front of him.
This means that not many families and sects are willing to befriend the Tianshui Sect?
Qiao Mo seemed to have read through Lin Bai's thoughts and said with a smile: "This is already very few. Have you not seen the invitations from the five major families in the imperial capital? Tens of thousands of them are sent to the five major families every day. We
It has been two or three months since I came to Tianshui Sect, but I only have a few thousand, which is very little."
In the imperial capital, although there are five major families that dominate.
However, there are still many large and small families inside and outside the imperial capital, scattered in the imperial capital.
For example, Zhou Wang, the steward of Prince Chen's Mansion, said before that he grew up in the Imperial Capital since childhood and was born into a small family in the Imperial Capital.
No one has counted how many families there are in the imperial capital, but it is at least a terrifying number of over one million.
In the imperial capital with such a huge base, the Tianshui Sect only received a few thousand invitations, which was indeed very few.
Lin Bai took the invitation, put it on the desk, and read it carefully.
The Nineteenth Elder said: "Many of the invitations have expired, and only some of them have not expired."
"There are two invitations among them. Maybe the Holy Son will be interested in them."
Lin Bai asked curiously: "What invitation?"
The Nineteenth Elder stepped forward, took out one from the pile of invitations, handed it to Lin Bai, and said: "This is an invitation from the Chen family in the imperial capital. In five days, Chen Yule, the son of the Chen family, will be in the southern city of the imperial capital.
A banquet was held in the 'Stargazing Courtyard' to entertain the geniuses in the imperial capital."
"Our Tianshui Sect also received an invitation. It was Chen Yule who invited the Holy Son to attend!"
"In addition, there is an invitation from the third prince's government office."
After the Nineteenth Elder finished speaking, he took out another invitation from the pile of invitations, handed it to Lin Bai, and said: "Since we came to the imperial capital, the third prince will send an invitation from across the mountain, inviting the Holy Son to attend the three-day event.
The prince’s banquet. But because we already belong to His Royal Highness King Chen, it is inconvenient for us to appear at the third prince’s banquet.”
Lin Bai looked at the two invitations and said: "Don't pay attention to the third prince's invitation. Even if he goes to the banquet, he is still a weasel giving a chicken a hundred years, and he has no good intentions."
"It's Chen Yule's invitation. You can go and see it."
"Let's check Chen Yule's banquet in the Stargazing Courtyard five days later. Who has been invited?"
The Nineteenth Elder said: "I am old enough to know that most of the people invited by Saint Chen Yule are the saints from the top sects and families who have just arrived in the imperial capital. Among them is the saint from Qi Jue City, one of the nine sects in Qitian.
Zi Lu Qingjun, the Holy Son of the Jinglong Sect, Li Yushan, and the Holy Sons of other sects!"
"Like the Chen family, Qi Jue City, and the Shocking Dragon Sect, they are all the top sects and families in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, second only to the Qitian Sect and the Chu Kingdom. Only the banquet between them can be discussed together."
"The five major families in the imperial capital also hope to take this opportunity to let their geniuses get to know more geniuses from outside the Chu Kingdom!"
Lin Bai finally understood.
The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.
Now the saints of the five families and seven sects of the imperial capital are having a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day to entertain the geniuses from all walks of life in the imperial capital.
Many friends, many paths.
If you leave Chu State in the future, you will need more care from them.
Lin Bai asked with a smile: "Didn't Chen Yule invite Zhao Xiantu? It is said that Zhao Xiantu has just broken through the Taiyi Daoguo realm and left seclusion."
The Nineteenth Elder said: "No. On the surface, the five major families in the imperial capital seem to be harmonious, but in fact, their relationship is similar to that of our Tianshui Sect and Tiandi Sect. They all want to kill each other!"
"How could it be possible to invite Zhao Xiantu to Chen Yule's banquet?"
"Besides, Zhao Xiantu is also busy entertaining other geniuses at the moment, so he is too busy."
Lin Bai nodded slightly and returned all the other invitations to the Nineteenth Elder, leaving only Chen Yule's invitation.
Qiao Mo asked: "Senior Brother Shengzi, do you want to attend Chen Yule's banquet?"
Lin Bai said: "The investigation of the posthumous child has been suspended now. I have to find a way to open up the situation. We came to the imperial capital and are not familiar with the place. If Chen Yule is willing to give us a way, we may get twice the result with half the effort. After all, the Chen family is the local snake of the imperial capital.
Their means are naturally more sophisticated than ours."
"I'll go to Chen Yule's banquet and ask Chen Yule to think of a solution for me."
At this time, Lin Bai experienced what is called multiple friends and multiple paths.
Although the relationship between Chen Yule and Lin Bai is not deep, it is not shallow either.
Both are supreme geniuses in the art of swordsmanship. They are like enemies and friends. They are competitors and confidants to each other.
Lin Bai went to ask Chen Yule to think of a way at this moment, and Chen Yule would definitely not refuse.
Lin Bai said: "Nineteenth Elder, from now on all invitations from the level of the Saint Son of the Seven Sects of the Five Families of Chu State will be sent to me."
"In the next period of time, I should have nothing to do. If necessary, I can come forward to make more heroes for the sect. This will also be beneficial to the future development of the sect."
When the Nineteenth Elder heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "If the Holy Son is willing to come forward to make connections for the sect, that would naturally be the best. Please rest assured, Holy Son, in the future, I will send invitations from important people to the Holy Son."
.”
Lin Bai nodded slightly and said to Qiao Mo Qin Yao: "Over at the Zhaoxing Division, if you can help, go and help. If you can't help, don't force it. Our main purpose is still to
If you find the posthumous son, if you have time, go to the imperial capital more often, maybe you will get something unexpected?"
Qiao Mo and Qin Yao both nodded and agreed.
Lin Bai said: "Go down and get ready. In five days, we will attend Chen Yule's banquet together."
After the meeting is over.
Lin Bai returned to his residence.
I saw a crow standing on a branch in the small courtyard, staring blankly at the four corners of the eaves. It looked like a caged bird, lifeless and hopeless.
Lin Bai gave a bitter smile. It seemed that Lin Bai was confining the crow in the small courtyard, which was already too much for him.
Since arriving in the imperial capital, Lin Bai was worried that Wu Wu would cause trouble, so he asked him to stay in the Tianshui Sect palace and not leave without Lin Bai's order.
Back then, Crow was in the imperial capital and stole the treasures of five, seven sects and the royal family in the imperial capital, causing an uproar in the imperial capital. The Emperor of Chu personally ordered the arrest of this "robber of the imperial capital".
Lin Bai was also frightened, so he hurriedly left the imperial capital with Crow and joined the Tianshui Sect.
Returning to the imperial capital this time, Lin Bai was also worried that Zhao Xingsi would find out that Wu Wu was the "robber of the imperial capital" who had made a name for himself in the imperial capital a few years ago, so he asked him to stay in the palace and not leave at will.
now.
Lin Bai couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the crow looking helpless.
