After Bai Tianji's words came out, the space suddenly became quiet, and neither Xiao Muyang nor Qin Fusu spoke.
Bai Tianji called them two of the three geniuses in Beihu County. Although it was a very high praise, they didn't know what Bai Tianji's real intentions were.
Is it a genuine appreciation or a temptation?
The prince of Beihu County is extremely talented and domineering. Will he allow anyone to be as famous as him?
They didn't know, so they all remained silent and didn't make any remarks, as if what they just said had nothing to do with them.
Bai Tianji glanced at the two of them, with a meaningful smile in his eyes, and said: "Don't think too much, if I wanted to attack you, you wouldn't be alive today, let alone have the chance to sit here with me.
Let’s enjoy the plum blossoms, chat and relax.”
"The prince summoned us here, probably not just to say what he just said." Xiao Muyang looked at Bai Tianji and said.
There was a feeling in his heart that what Bai Tianji said to them just now was to lead to the next words.
"Palace Master Xiao is smart, I do have something else to say." Bai Tianji nodded, his expression suddenly became more serious, and he asked the two of them: "Will you two follow me in the future?"
"Follow?" Xiao Muyang's eyes narrowed. Bai Tianji actually wanted them to follow him.
It turns out that this is his real purpose.
Naturally, Bai Tian would not allow anyone to have the same name as him, but if those two people were his subordinates, that would be a different matter.
If he and Qin Fusu follow him, they will naturally not pose a threat to him, but will increase his power, which is an excellent thing for him.
At this time, Qin Fusu's eyes also showed a hint of deep meaning, and he naturally understood what Bai Tianji was thinking.
In order to recruit two talented people from Beihu County, it must be said that Bai Tian was extremely ambitious.
"What do you two think?" Tian Tian asked with a smile.
"Xiao has little talent, little knowledge, and low cultivation. I'm afraid I can't bear the prince's expectations. I would like to ask the prince to choose another candidate." Xiao Muyang said to Bai Tianji with a very sincere tone.
Bai Tianji frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
Is this a rejection of him?
"I said, only the three people sitting here deserve the title of genius. Others are not qualified. As for cultivation, it will naturally improve in the future. Regardless of other factors, are you willing to follow me?" Bai Tianji asked again
road.
"Xiao, as the master of the Haotian Palace, shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviving the Haotian Palace. It is difficult to do two things at once. I hope the prince can understand." Xiao Muyang replied, still refusing.
"If you follow me, no one will dare to touch the Haotian Palace. This is my promise to you." Tian Tian stared at Xiao Muyang and said, "I will ask you one last time, are you willing to follow me?"
Xiao Muyang also looked at Bai Tianji. To be fair, Bai Tianji's conditions were very tempting. As long as he agreed to follow him, Haotian Palace would inevitably move towards prosperity and no one could stop it.
After all, Bai Tianji is the eldest son of the county king and will succeed him as the county king in the future. Who dares to disobey his will? That is asking for death.
However, although the conditions were tempting enough, he would not agree.
Once he agrees, he will no longer be a free agent, but a subordinate of Bai Tianji. Even if he becomes stronger in the future, it will not be easy to leave. After all, there is Haotian Palace behind him, so it is impossible.
Leave them alone.
Therefore, I couldn’t agree from the beginning.
He is the master of Haotian Palace. Even if he angers Bai Tianji, he probably won't kill him directly. After all, he just doesn't want to follow.
"Xiao is not talented, please choose another person." Xiao Muyang cupped his hands and said in a humble tone, but with a sense of determination.
Tian Tian took a deep look at Xiao Muyang, then smiled and said: "You are indeed as proud as ever, which suits my taste very well, but I hope you will remember your choice today and not regret it in the future."
Xiao Muyang didn't reply, so he certainly wouldn't regret it.
He still has a long way to go, and Beihu County will not be the end. As for Bai Tianji, he cannot be the most threatening person to him.
"What about you?" Bai Tianji looked at Qin Fusu again, naturally asking the same question.
"Qin will succeed the clan leader in the future, please forgive me." Qin Fusu replied.
Bai Tianji nodded slightly and said nothing more. He knew that Qin Fusu's words were just excuses, and he was unwilling to follow him in his heart.
In fact, the choice of Xiao Muyang and Qin Fusu was very expected by Bai Tian. If it were him, he would not follow others, but he still wants to give it a try. What if he succeeds?
Facts have proved that his idea was a bit redundant.
"I never like to force others. Since you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now." Bai Tian said with a smile, as if he really didn't care about the choice of the two of them.
Xiao Muyang's expression condensed slightly. Although Bai Tianji seemed to be indifferent on the surface, judging from his past behavior, he would never give up. After all, he and Qin Fusu were against his will. If given a chance, they would definitely
Make trouble for them.
It was not his wish to end up in this situation, but he couldn't agree to Bai Tianji's request, so he could only be offended.
"I'm fine here. You can go back. The banquet will probably start soon." Bai Tianji looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
Xiao Muyang and Qin Fusu stood up at the same time, bowed towards Bai Tianji, and then left the pavilion.
Watching the two people leaving, the smile on Bai Tianji's face gradually faded, and a look of indifference appeared in his eyes, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Soon Xiao Muyang and Qin Fusu walked out of the Meilin, and outside the Meilin, there were some figures waiting there, it was Mu Li and the strong men of the Qin family.
Seeing the two people coming out, they immediately surrounded them.
"Are you okay?" Mu Li asked with concerned eyes.
"Fortunately, I just said a few words." Xiao Muyang replied.
"What are you talking about?" Mu Li's expression suddenly became condensed.
"He wanted Qin Fusu and I to follow him, but we both refused." Xiao Muyang said, "Although he didn't make things difficult for us, I'm afraid he will target him secretly in the future."
Mu Li frowned when he heard this, and then said: "Since it has happened, let it take its course. Don't take it too seriously."
"Understood, let's go to the banquet now." Xiao Muyang said.
"Let's go." Mu Li nodded, and then the two of them left together.
While Xiao Muyang was talking to Mu Li, the strong men of the Qin family were also communicating with Qin Fusu. When they learned that Qin Fusu refused to follow Tian Tianji, they all trembled in their hearts.
The young master actually refused the prince's invitation.
What a sin?
If the prince pursues the case, the Qin family may not be able to withstand his anger.
"Don't think about this anymore, let's go." Qin Fusu said calmly, his face looked very calm and calm, as if he didn't take what just happened to his heart.
Then, without saying anything, those people headed towards the banquet together with Qin Fusu.
The overall layout of the Prince's Mansion is square, with a main hall standing in the center, which is the main hall where the Prince conducts business. At this moment, the hall is filled with banquets, and the atmosphere is extremely lively.
I saw a middle-aged man in a golden robe sitting at the front of the hall. He was about forty years old, with a chiseled face and a distinguished temperament. Just sitting there, he exuded a powerful aura that was difficult to ignore.
his existence.
This person is none other than the Prince of Beihu County, Bai Yu.
The people sitting below Bai Yu are all well-known figures in Beihu County. In front is the leader of the top force, and behind is the leader of the first-rate force. It is obvious that the ranking corresponds to their status.
Qin Zhen sat in the first seat on the right, and the person sitting in the first place on the left was an old man with white hair, who was surprisingly the King of Medicine.
Some junior figures brought by the major forces are also here, but they have no place and can only stand behind their respective leaders.
At this moment, everyone at the banquet was looking at Bai Yu in front of them, with respectful expressions on their faces. No matter how respected their status was in Beihu County, they all needed to lower their posture in front of the county king.
The Prince's Mansion governs the entire Beihu County. In a sense, they are all subordinates of the Prince.
"The prince ordered us to be summoned here. What are your orders?" King Yao asked Bai Yu, cupping his fists.
"This is the first time that the king has called you here. There are two purposes. One is to meet you, and the other is that there is something to announce." Bai Yu said.
After saying this, the whole place fell into silence.
At this moment, the crowd at the banquet had some thoughts in their hearts. It seemed that their guesses were correct. The prince issued two orders in succession to summon them to the prince's palace. Sure enough, there was something going on.
It's just that I don't know what it is.
"I wonder what the prince wants to announce?" Qin Zhen asked tentatively, his expression looking a little solemn. Such a grand occasion was obviously no small matter.
"Don't call us together yet. Let's wait until everyone is gathered." Bai Yu said with a smile.
Everyone looked stunned, aren't everyone here?
Then they looked around and found that there was still an empty seat. Someone asked in a low voice: "Who didn't arrive?"
The king of the county had given an order that no one should be late. However, some people were late anyway. This is simply not taking the king's words seriously.
"Reporting to the Prince, I came to the Prince's Mansion with the Master of Haotian Hall, but someone took him away, so he did not come to the banquet in time." At this time, a voice came out from the crowd, and the speaker was none other than
Xuan Tianyi.
"It turns out that Xiao Muyang didn't arrive." Many people talked about it, and then their eyes showed curiosity. Xuan Tian said that someone took him away. Who was it?
"I know, I will wait for him here for a moment." Bai Yu nodded lightly, as if he knew who took him away.
Not long after, I saw some figures coming to the banquet, it was Xiao Muyang, Qin Fusu and others.
Many people looked over there, and when they saw Xiao Muyang and Qin Fusu appearing together, their expressions couldn't help but become a little weird.
Nowadays, there are many rumors in Beihu County comparing the two people together, because both of them have outstanding talents and are unparalleled in their generation, but one has been famous for a long time, while the other has only recently become famous.
Is it a coincidence that the two of them appear together at this moment?
