Heavenly martial arts group

Chapter 159: 177
"Since you also think so, how do you think the next one recommended by our business to go to this sect should be chosen as a father?"

Upon hearing Shang Liu's reply, Shangqiu asked with his hands behind his back.

He was expressionless, and no meaning could be seen from his face.

But Shang Liu's heart sank.

Merchants' offshoots are eligible to recommend an outstanding direct descendant to the sect. These children who are recommended to the sect will be cultivated by the sect's resources. Almost any disciple who is trained will eventually either stay in the sect. , to become the elite of the sect, or after returning to the collateral line, to become the candidate for the next generation of family masters.

Therefore, this kind of recommended quota is extremely precious, and all the merchants' children know it, and almost all of them desire it.

Before Shang Yu came, Shangqiu might have given this quota to the eldest son, Shang De, or the second son, Shang Liu.

Although the eldest son Gein is not good at management, he is quite talented in martial arts. He is only 25 this year and has already reached the third level of the True Qi Realm. He is indeed worthy of cultivation.

As for the second son, Shangliu, although he is talented in martial arts, almost all the large businesses of the merchants are managed by him alone, and Shangqiu will handle major matters, so he can be regarded as a trainable candidate.

Only Sanzi was the worst in business. He had no independent opinions, was not talented in martial arts, and even less talented in business. He was almost a business worm and had no qualifications to cultivate.

Therefore, Shang Liu always believed that the quota recommended by his family to this sect was most likely born between him and his elder brother.

But now, according to Shangqiu's intentions, it seems that one more Shangyu will be added, which makes him feel extremely gloomy now.

However, Shang Liu still behaved extremely respectfully and decently in front of Shangqiu, saying, "Father, you are the one who decides who to recommend to this sect, and I will not express any opinions."

"En." Shang Qiu nodded slightly, as if he had expected Shang Liu to answer like this, he immediately waved his hand and let Shang Liu go.

"There are unicorns in the family, but it's a pity that they each have half. It's a pity that the illegitimate daughter is better than the male."

Shangqiu looked at the rising sun and sighed.

Shang Liu left his father's study room, but his face was completely gloomy. In his heart, a bold idea that he had long ago appeared again at this time, and he couldn't contain it.
The Linghu Family.

In a reception room.

The human demon Tu Nu was casually communicating with the four of them.

These four people are also as angry as humans and demons, but they are the candidates who are qualified to enter the Sword Cleansing Pool this time at the Duanyang Reception.

Originally, among these four people, at least two were not qualified to enter the Sword Cleansing Pool.

But because Duan Muci and the silver-faced Rakshasa girl were eliminated by Jiang Cheng, the Linghu family selected two other people to make up for the six people selected each time.

At this time, the five people were communicating casually, but on the surface it was led by the demon Tu Nu, and the words of the other four were full of compliments.

"It's a pity that the oiran koi girl selected at this reception has encountered an elm bump. Jiang Cheng is already the number one by default. After the koi girl is selected as the oiran, he can pamper the koi last night." Girl, but this person stayed overnight at the merchant last night, I really don't understand the style."

A young man holding a folding fan shook his fan slightly and said regretfully.

"Hey, you know that Jiang Cheng doesn't understand the style. In fact, he is living fast. Yesterday, the fourth lady of the merchant invited him into the merchant. Maybe the fourth lady will go to the battle in person. Jiang Cheng is very comfortable."

Another man in a blue mandarin jacket laughed.

"Brother Human Demon, in fact, yesterday I thought that kid might not be able to maintain that strength for a long time. If Brother Human Demon took the initiative to challenge that kid, he probably wouldn't be able to win the first place." Another person looked at Human Demon Tu Fu , a compliment.

With a snap, the human demon Tu Nu coldly put the teacup in his hand on the table, startling the others.

"Hmph. Do you think I'm a fool? In that case, if I go to challenge, it's okay if I win. If I lose, I'm afraid I won't be sitting here today."

The demon snorted angrily.

The person who said the wrong thing quickly echoed with a dry smile.

"However. Everyone entered the Sword Cleansing Pond together today, so Jiang Cheng may not be able to show the same strength as yesterday. I don't believe that this kind of forbidden and secret technique has no restrictions on its use." Tu Nu's eyes flashed coldly, Look to four people.

"Brother Tu, what are your plans?" one of them asked hesitantly.

"I still have a secret hole card that I didn't use. I will enter the sword washing pool later. Everyone will use their own methods. Who do you think is the greatest threat? Whose threat should we minimize first?" The human demon sneered angrily. .

The expressions of the four people around changed slightly when they heard the words, each of them was active in their thoughts and did not make a sound.

Tu Nu snorted softly, "You all don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, it doesn't matter, if Jiang Cheng stays quiet in the Sword Washing Pond later and we live in peace, then that's fine.

But if that kid is dishonest, I will take the lead, and you must immediately follow me, catch that kid by surprise, and forcibly suppress him. "

"But." Someone hesitated, "If he can really explode with the same strength as yesterday..."

Tu Nuan snorted, "The person you guard the Linghu family is a dead person? Besides, you don't take any risks, and you want to win benefits from others? Do you think it's possible?"

"this."

"Okay! I agree. Brother Tu is willing to take the lead. If we don't follow up, we will be too courageous."

"Okay, Brother Tu eats meat, and we will drink soup as well."

In an instant, these five people reached a tacit agreement in the small living room. Facing the huge pressure from Jiang Cheng, they temporarily joined forces to form a small team.

At this time, Jiang Cheng also took a high sedan chair to the door of the Linghu family, and was welcomed into the meeting hall by a clever servant.

When he arrived, he found that the human demon Tu Nu and others had already gathered and were still talking about something.

Seeing him walking in, the five people who had been talking in the hall fell silent. They all looked at him fearfully, some nodded with smiles on their faces, others kept silent and said nothing, but no one stepped forward. Communicate with him.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Cheng chuckled in his heart, knowing that although he has become famous now, he has also offended the Duanmu family and the Qisha sect.

Even if these people have the idea of ​​wanting to make friends with him, because of those two huge forces, they dare not go forward to communicate with him at all, and may even try to deal with him.

At the moment, Jiang Cheng ignored the interest of these people, and sat down in the living room on his own, enjoying the tea served by the maid, looking calm and composed, quite like a master.

"Hmph, it seems that you still have nothing to fear?"

The human demon Tu Nu picked up the teacup, squinted his eyes and glanced at the carefree Jiang Cheng while drinking tea, humming coldly in his heart, remembering the thing that a junior from Hades Palace rushed to deliver last night, he felt a little settled.
