Behind the huge wooden door of the Wu clan, an old white figure appeared, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
This figure was holding a dragon-headed crutch, and his steps did not move at all, but his figure floated into everyone's field of vision.
The face is thin, the bones are protruding, the beard and hair are all white, the eye sockets are sunken, the eyes are as dark as ink, only a little white light shines in the pupils, which is breathtaking.
"Everyone is here?"
The old man asked.
"I don't know, Qi Buqi, but the old man let us in first. It is not the way to treat guests to leave the clan leaders outside and ignore them."
A middle-aged man said gloomily.
"It's natural, but it seems that a little insect has sneaked into my family today. May I ask how this little brother got in?"
The old man¡¯s eyes were like torches, he stared at Li Xiaobai and spoke word by word.
"I have met the clan leader. I am Li Xiaobai, the clan leader of the branch of the Wu clan. Naturally, he will also participate in today's clan leaders' meeting."
Li Xiaobai cupped his fists and raised his hands, Lanxess said.
"Is there such a young clan leader among our clan?"
"I've never heard of it, never met me. Which clan is this from? Could it be that he's here to attend on behalf of the clan leader?"
The monks around him all looked sideways, looking at Li Xiaobai with surprise in their eyes.
Every year at the meeting, the family will cause trouble for the branch clans. Therefore, many family clan leaders send clan members to come over to be scolded on their behalf in order to avoid trouble. However, this kind of behavior usually leads to a tragic death. At least so far, those who come to replace the clan leader Not one of the monks who attended the meeting left alive.
"Side branch?"
"Which clan are you from?"
The old man asked calmly.
"A small clan on the border of the Southern Territory is of no importance."
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully and took out a token from his arms, which belonged to the Southern Territory.
¡°Border branch, I don¡¯t remember sending an invitation to this small bloodline. The humble branch is not qualified to participate in the clan leaders¡¯ meeting.¡±
The old man had an indifferent expression and a gloomy tone.
Li Xiaobai said: "As a clan leader, why am I not qualified to join the association? Only by listening to the instructions from my superiors can I implement them more accurately at the local level."
"Vulgar language, the hierarchy in our clan is very strict, even the clan leaders are divided into three, six or nine levels. If everyone is like you, the clan chief meeting will be overcrowded and the efficiency will be greatly reduced."
"What kind of meeting do I have?"
The white light in the old man's eyes shined brightly and was extremely hot, as if it was about to pierce through Li Xiaobai.
"My family, this person was brought by me. Although he is only a side bloodline, he has good cultivation. After this period of inspection, I think he is qualified to participate in the meeting of clan leaders. I might as well observe it first and then make a decision. Conclusion.¡±
Among the crowd, a man in black robe spoke and said in a deep voice.
Although he had never seen it before, Li Xiaobai recognized it at a glance. This person was the clan leader who had always maintained close contact with the former clan leader. In the past, the two parties traded once a month, so they must know each other's appearance. Now he saw the identity token. He made his identity clear and spoke out to protect him.
"Wu Tianlong, are you serious?"
"Introducing the clan leader to join the clan elders' meeting, do you know the stakes involved? He hasn't even grown hair yet. Can you guarantee that he won't have any problems?"
"That's right, and you shouldn't have forgotten the rules. To introduce a clan leader to join the meeting, the recommender must accept the challenge of the three clan leaders and succeed. Don't let this kid be fine by then, and you will die in this family. "
As soon as the man in black robe said this, many clan leaders immediately became uproar and invited unqualified clan leaders to participate in the clan leaders' meeting. I am afraid only they know what this means.
It is the rule of the Wu clan for the introducer to accept the challenge. We believe that if something goes wrong when introducing the clan leader into a family meeting, it will be the responsibility of the introducer. Therefore, accepting three rounds of challenges in succession is also to restrict the introducer from inviting random invitations. The side bloodline came to the family.
"do you mean this?"
The old man looked at the man named Wu Tianlong and said lightly.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Patriarch Li Xiaobai is definitely qualified in terms of qualifications. I am willing to guarantee that I will be his leader."
Wu Tianlong looked at Li Xiaobai and said loudly.
¡°In that case, let¡¯s enter first!¡±
The old man glanced at Wu Tianlong and Li Xiaobai, turned around and entered the wooden door.
The other clan leaders looked at Li Xiaobai with surprised expressions. This was the first time they had seen such a young-looking clan leader, and he could win Wu Tianlong's favor.The truth is surprising.
Li Xiaobai followed the crowd and entered the wooden door.
The interior is just a training ground. Some young people are practicing boxing and kicking. They are all some kind of ancient fighting skills. There is a sense of vicissitudes of time in every gesture, and there is some mystery bred in it.
The patriarchs were passing by, and the young men were also looking here, but what was in their eyes was not awe, but disdain.
"This is our family, and we have a transcendent status. Even if we are just a little monk sweeping the floor, we will look down on the side bloodline from the bottom of our hearts. They are the orthodox ones."
A gentle male voice came from beside him, which seemed familiar.
Li Xiaobai looked back and saw the man in black robe named Wu Tianlong, who was also the transaction partner of his trip.
"I see, all the young men who come to this family are outstanding people, and their cultivation abilities have taken part in nature."
Li Xiaobai nodded.
"My monks have always valued the status of bloodline, but they have neglected their cultivation. For this family, as long as the old patriarch is still alive in the world, they will always be one level higher than other branches."
Wu Tianlong said calmly.
"Thank you, Brother Tianlong, for telling me. Brother Tianlong just made some bold words in front of my family. My blood was boiling when I heard it. From now on, Brother Tianlong, as long as it is not about money, you can come to me, there will be no jokes!"
Li Xiaobai laughed loudly, patted his chest and said.
"That's good, so, who are you, and how did you get into the meeting of the chiefs of the Wu clan?"
Wu Tianlong's painting style suddenly changed, with his grinning teeth revealing ferocious fangs, his eyes flashing scarlet, and he looked a bit demonic.
"Brother Tianlong, you are really a noble person who forgets things. Did you forget that you were the one who came here to do business?"
Li Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Brother, are you joking? Why is his identity token in your hands due to the deal I made with Wu Zu?"
Wu Tianlong shouted in a low voice.
"I am not talented, and now it is the head of the branch of the Wu clan who has come to carry out this transaction on behalf of Wu Zu. There is a traitor in our clan, so we made the transaction in advance."
"Who is the mole?"
"Miss Wu Guo."
"As expected, I realized earlier that this woman is a vicious woman, but she actually wants to get involved in my business."
"But I'm easy to talk to. I don't care who the person comes to trade with, even if your village is dead, as long as you bring the things."
Wu Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Brother Tianlong can survive the three rounds of challenges?"
"They are just a bunch of bastards. Wait for me to deal with them and then look for trading opportunities. In the meantime, don't let anyone get you caught. You will get extremely rich resources!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
