One World System

Chapter 246 Selection Conference (two chapters in one)

At noon, Tianxiahui held a grand banquet for the three of them who returned triumphantly. When Lin Xiao arrived, the banquet hadn't started yet, and Xiongba hadn't appeared yet, so he chatted with Nie Feng and the others first.

Although they were not familiar with them, perhaps because they had told many secrets to Nie Feng last time, Nie Feng was still very kind to Lin Xiao.This also made Qin Shuang's attitude towards Lin Xiao much better. Even Bu Jingyun, who was not good at words, would occasionally say a few words.

Finally, Xiongba appeared before the banquet was about to start.When the guild leader is present, the guild members of the Tianxiahui will naturally salute one after another.At this moment, Xiongba seemed extremely excited, and his laughter never stopped since he appeared.

For Xiongba, who is now in full swing, he rarely has troubles.It just confirms the criticism of the clay bodhisattva back then; how can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, it will transform into a dragon when encountering a storm.

With the help of Fengyun, it seems that the help to Xiongba is not that great, but in fact this kind of thing involves the destiny of heaven, if there is no Fengyun, Xiongba may encounter some unlucky things in the first half of his life Woolen cloth!

But it's coming soon, and it won't be long before he finds the mud bodhisattva again to figure out the fate of his lower body, and then he will know what to do and make it happen.

But Xiongba at this moment obviously doesn't know this, he still has a smile on his face, and the joy in his heart makes his domineering more intense.Even just looking at him will make people feel a sense of oppression spontaneously.

"Come, come, Lin Xiao, let's have a toast!" Xiongba pulled Lin Xiao and raised his glass and said.

"Governor Xiong toast, it's a great honor for me!" Lin Xiao complimented Xiongba, and drank the wine in one gulp, "Master Xiong, I'm done, now it's up to you!"

If this is the case, Lin Xiao will dare to say it in the whole world, and Xiongba will not be unhappy because of it.

"Okay, it's done!" Xiongba laughed and raised his hand to drink the fine wine in the glass, then laughed and picked up the jug and poured Lin Xiaoman a glass himself.

"Lin Xiao, the old man mentioned that matter to you last time, how did you think about it?" Xiong Ba suddenly looked at Lin Xiao and asked.

At this time, Nie Feng and the three of them had already competed with the gang members under the sect. You were enjoying each other, so they didn't notice the conversation between Xiongba and Lin Xiao.Even Wen Chouchou was downed several times by Nie Feng and Qin Shuang, and now he is talking in his sleep under the table.

"It's rare that Lord Xiong has a crush on Lin. If Lin postpones it again, I'm afraid it will be too disrespectful to Lord Xiong." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "I have also seen the leadership of Lord Xiong in Tianxiahui these days. With his ability, he will definitely become the most powerful force in the world in the future. Although Lin Xiao is not a smart person, he will not shirk such a good thing!"

"Hahaha~!" Xiongba laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay, from today onwards you, Lin Xiao, will be the deputy leader of my Tianxiahui, and your status is only under my Xiongba!"

"My subordinates see the leader!" Lin Xiao said with a smile and clasped his fists.

"Hahahaha~~~!!!" Xiongba was overjoyed, he stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Everyone, there will be another happy event in our world today."

As soon as Xiongba spoke, the originally noisy banquet hall fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

"Master, what is the happy event?" Nie Feng asked curiously.

"From today onwards, Lin Xiao will officially join our Tianxiahui as the deputy leader!" Xiongba said loudly, "Feng'er, do you think this is a happy event?"

"What the master said is that this is naturally a great joy!" Nie Feng nodded with a smile, and at the same time sent a word of congratulations to Lin Xiao.

Those present were all elites from the Tianxiahui, and they knew Lin Xiao's reputation.The young master who defeated Dugu Fang with three strokes back then, although he still looks young now, everyone has always regarded him as a senior in the martial arts.

Today, if Xiongba had put another unknown person on the throne of deputy gang leader, although these elite gang members of the Tianxiahui would not say anything on the surface, they would definitely be unconvinced in secret.

But now this person is Lin Xiao, the same Lin Xiao who defeated Dugu Fang with three strokes back then, so it's different.

Who is that lonely party?
That is the city lord of Wushuang City, and Wushuang City is one of the two biggest forces in the world today. As for the other, it is naturally their Tianxiahui.

Now the deputy leader of their Tianxiahui is the Lin Xiao who once defeated Dugu Fang. Doesn't that tell the world that his Tianxiahui is the real number one force in Jianghu?
The deputy gang leader is so powerful, but what about the real gang leader Xiong Ba?How powerful will that be?
Lin Xiao was worried that the gang members would dissatisfy him after he was appointed as the deputy gang leader by Xiongba, but he forgot his several achievements before leaving Fengyun World.

Among other things, it was the time when Dugu was the main one, which was the reason why Lin Xiao's name was widely circulated in Jianghu.

"I didn't expect it to be so simple." Lin Xiao felt a little surprised when he saw the convincing Tianxia Huibang below.

"Come on, let's toast the Vice-Chairman!" Qin Shuang suddenly shouted at this moment.

So in the next moment, countless wine glasses were raised in front of Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao's face collapsed in an instant.

"One cup each!" Qin Shuang shouted.

"Vice gang leader, we respect you!"

"Vice gang leader, I respect you too!"

"Vice gang leader, have another drink!"

"Deputy Gang Leader,..."

Lin Xiao drank one cup after another, and the wine that he drank with his skill was evaporated almost instantly, but even so, he still felt a little drunk after drinking for a few rounds.

"It can't be done, I can't stop it!" Lin Xiao held his forehead with one hand and shook his head vigorously.

Soon, his eyes fell on Qin Shuang and Nie Feng, who had smirks on their faces. Bu Jingyun is a good boy, so he wouldn't come with them to punish Lin Xiao. Cool to sit there and enjoy the color of the wine!

"You two little bastards, let's see how I deal with you!" Lin Xiao thought viciously in his heart.

A reception banquet soon turned into a group of people drinking each other.Rao, all the people present were from the martial arts world, and everyone had a strong internal force, but this way of drinking wine without treating it like wine at all made some people quickly pass out under the table.

"It's done!" Lin Xiao raised a wine jar and smiled at Qin Shuang and Nie Feng in front of him.

The two with bitter faces looked helplessly at the two wine jars that had been placed in front of them, so they had to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, and followed Lin Xiao to pick up the jars and drink.

Filling alcohol is also a science, and honest people drink alcohol, so naturally they are reluctant to waste even a little bit.However, in such a state of obvious competition for wine, one cannot be so frugal.

Lin Xiao almost poured out half of the jar of wine, and drank only half of the jar into his mouth.

Compared with Lin Xiao, Qin Shuang and Nie Feng are not so cunning, and the wine they really drink to their stomachs is worse than Lin Xiao.

The banquet lasted until the evening, but lunch and dinner were connected together.At the end of the pouring, almost everyone was unconscious. Fortunately, Nie Feng and the others had profound skills, and they woke up after a short sleep.

Lin Xiao was called away by Xiongba when he was half drunk. Since he became the deputy leader of the Tianxiahui, he naturally needs to know something about the Tianxiahui.Although Xiong Ba's trust in Lin Xiao was not even as high as his three apprentices, he handed over the position of deputy gang leader to Lin Xiao, at least explaining to him some things and powers that the deputy gang leader needs to do.

What Lin Xiao is most interested in is naturally the power to freely enter and exit certain forbidden areas. That is the reason why he really agreed to Xiongba to join the Tianxiahui. Besides, it is the arsenal of the Tianxiahui. Xiao eyes greedy things.

Apart from these, Lin Xiao is not interested in any other powers.

Chatting with Xiongba until late at night, Lin Xiao originally planned to leave and go back to rest, but who would have thought that Xiongba took him to find Nie Feng and the others.

At this time, Nie Feng and the others were celebrating with a bonfire outside, singing and dancing.

Lin Xiao rarely discovered that Bu Jingyun also participated, singing and dancing around the campfire with Nie Feng and the others. Although their singing was not very beautiful, it was full of the heroic spirit of people in the world.

'Crack bang bang~! '

Xiongba smiled and clapped his hands, startling the people present.

Everyone quickly stopped and stood respectfully.

"master!"

"Help Master!"

"Hehehe~! Very good." Xiongba was in good spirits, and looked at Nie Feng and the other three with expressions of admiration, "None of my three good disciples, Xiongba, let me down."

"I want to reward you greatly!" Xiongba said, "The country is easy to obtain, but it is not easy to keep it. I decided to choose the right person to take charge of the great country together with me!"

As soon as Xiongba finished speaking, before Nie Feng and the three of them made any gestures, Wen Chouchou on the side rushed to help.

"Oh~! Chou Chou understands, the gang leader means Master Shuang, Master Yun and Master Feng, right?"

Xiongba turned his head slightly and glanced at him lightly, shook his head and said: "Chou Chou, you are wrong."

The expression on Wen Chouchou's face froze, and he couldn't help showing embarrassment.

Looking at this scene, Lin Xiao couldn't help feeling amused secretly.Wen Chouchou is very clever, he knows how to use his intelligence to please Xiongba.He clearly knew Xiongba's true thoughts, but he wanted to say that on purpose.This acting skill and painstaking efforts are also difficult for him.

"There are more than tens of thousands of congregations in the world? The old man must throw away his personal interests for the sake of public service, and just say it." Xiong Ba had a serious and serious expression on his face. At this time, almost no one thought he was lying, "You guys You should understand that victory belongs to the strong!"

"Yes, the leader is wise, the leader is wise!" Wen Chouchou echoed emphatically.

Xiongba has long been familiar with Wen Chouchou's tricks, he said indifferently: "Chouchou, you should tell all the congregation immediately that the hall master selection meeting will be held today, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, Chouchou will do it now!" Wen Chouchou twisted his old waist with a flattering expression on his face, turned around and went to work.

"Lin Xiao." Xiongba turned his head to look at Lin Xiao who was on the side, "At that time, you will watch the battle with me and choose the three most suitable candidates for this old man!"

"Governor Xiong ordered me to keep my eyes open and choose the most suitable person for Leader Xiong!" Lin Xiao nodded with a smile.

"Shuang'er, Feng'er, and Yun'er." Xiongba turned his head to look at his three apprentices, "Are you confident in winning these three candidates?"

"The disciple will not let the master down!" The three shouted in unison.

"Very good, I am waiting to see your performance." Xiong Ba laughed and turned to leave.

Lin Xiao did not leave with Xiong Ba. He stayed and chatted with Nie Feng for a few words before returning to his residence.

He knew very well that this so-called selection meeting was a pretense, but it was also a necessary pretense.It's hard to be a gang leader, even if you are superior in strength, you still have to consider the thoughts of those gang members who are desperately fighting for you.If Xiong Ba insisted on going his own way and appointed Nie Feng and the others as the hall masters without any selection, then the gang members below would definitely be extremely unconvinced, and the consequences would be extremely serious for a gang.

Naturally, Xiongba wouldn't be that stupid, so even though he had already decided on the three candidates in his heart, on the surface he still wanted to sell dog meat on the surface and make some kind of selection meeting.Just like what he said, the purpose is to put an end to that leisurely mouth.

In fact, Xiongba is also confident that these three places will eventually fall into the hands of his three disciples.

Looking at the entire Tianxiahui, apart from the Twelve Demons of Tianchi who have never shown up, Nie Feng and his three are the most powerful. Even Duanlang, who also possesses unique skills, can only be as strong as him at most. The three are even.

In other words, apart from Duanlang, none of the members of the Tianxiahui can defeat Nie Feng and the three of them.

"Xiongba's move can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad either. It can only be said to be moderate." Lin Xiao thought to himself.

……

The next day, the Tianxiahui was about to hold a selection meeting, and the news that three hall masters were to be selected for the Tianxiahui was widely spread.

Nearly [-] gang members in the Tianxiahui became crazy. More than once, they imagined that they could get rid of the embarrassing status of ordinary gang members.And this time, it is obviously an opportunity for them to stand up.

Although this opportunity seems very slim, but no matter how slim the opportunity is, it is still an opportunity, isn't it?
After the notice was announced, if anyone was the happiest in this world meeting, it would be Duanlang.

It can be said that Duanlang has always been depressed in the Tianxiahui, because he is a beginner in art, coupled with his stubborn temper, he offended Xiongba when he was a child, and became the most humble handyman in the Tianxiahui.

Although Nie Feng has always taken care of him, his life as a handyman since he was a child has also cast shadows on Duanlang's originally pure heart.People's personality is often affected by the living environment when you were young. The eyes and language of people around you will affect your personality when you grow up.

A good environment is the foundation of cultivating a healthy mind.If the person who was relegated to a handyman was not Duanlang but Nie Feng, maybe he would not be as extreme as Duanlang, but he would never be as extreme as he is now.

For such a person who has been dormant for many years, such a notice is definitely another dawn in his life.

It's a pity that the dawn of Duanlang is destined not to appear in Tianxiahui, and he is destined to be injured this time.

The day after the announcement was posted, the Tianxiahui held its first preliminary round.

Lin Xiao, as the deputy gang leader of the Tianxiahui, with his status of being under one person and above ten thousand people, also appeared outside the competition field as the supervisor of this competition.

The so-called preliminary competition was not as complicated as Lin Xiao originally imagined. The entire preliminary competition was only arranged for one day, and the method of going directly to the stage was used.

Lin Xiao and Xiongba sat in the back and watched the match. Wen Chouchou gave a slightly effeminate introduction on the ring, and then the first round of the preliminary round officially began.

The entire preliminary round needed to select six players for tomorrow's final. The process was very simple and boring, at least Lin Xiao thought so.

With the strength of Nie Feng and the three of them, it was almost easy to defeat their respective opponents. Those who knew the power of the three of them naturally had no reason to come forward to make fun of themselves.

After Qin Shuang, who was the first to play, easily defeated an opponent, no one came up to fight against him again.

The same was true for Nie Feng who played afterward. He almost only won one fight and no one dared to challenge him.

Surprisingly, the third player to play was not Bu Jingyun but Duanlang.

Duanlang, who was wearing a uniform and bare feet, did not use his eclipse sword technique passed down in his family, but just defeated his opponent with ordinary boxing skills.

The unlucky opponent was directly broken by Duanlang's hand and leg bones, and fell outside the ring, moaning in pain.

"Cruel and merciless!" Lin Xiao couldn't help muttering while watching this scene.

Xiongba at the side glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Duanlang with cold eyes.

Obviously, Duanlang's outstanding performance displeased Xiongba.

Soon, the preliminary competition was completely over before the sun set, and six contestants who were about to participate in tomorrow's final were also selected, namely Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Duanlang, and the unknown Yang Zhenhe Xu Hong won these six places.

Out of distaste for Duanlang, Wen Chouchou dismissed Duanlang as an inconspicuous little character when he was introduced to him, but what happened was that Duanlang stomped on his instep viciously superior.

This scene fell into Xiongba's eyes, and his dislike for Duanlang couldn't help but intensify.

How could he use such a arrogant character like this?

……

In the evening, Xiongba met with Duanlang alone, and only he, Wen Chouchou, and Duanlang knew what he said.Of course, Lin Xiao also knew what he would say, it was nothing more than telling Duanlang that he could not win tomorrow's game.

Obviously, Duanlang's strength made Xiongba a little worried. Although he taught three apprentices, he always guarded against them.It can be said that they didn't really put their heart into teaching the three of them, so whether it was Nie Feng, Qin Shuang, or Bu Jingyun, the strength of the three of them was almost the same as that of Duanlang at the moment.

In this way, if Duanlang defeated any of the three disciples in tomorrow's game, wouldn't that tell the world that the disciple he taught by Xiongba is not as good as a handyman with an introduction to art?
