Legendary Sequence
Chapter 220 Xiong Family Competition (1)
It’s seven o’clock in the morning on November 12, 2515 in the New Calendar.
"The competition will start in one hour, aren't you nervous?" Dongfang Xiaoxin said, looking at Xiong Chumo who was yawning: "Looking at you, you shouldn't be nervous."
"Why are you nervous? I want to be a qualified bastard today!" Xiong Chumo said not feeling ashamed but proud?
Dongfang Xiaoxin nodded: "Remember what you said, don't show off."
"Copy that!" Xiong Chumo saluted in a funny way.
"By the way, who is your guess?" Beiming Zhiyao asked aloud in front of Su Yian.
"You haven't given me a list yet." Su Yian spread his hands.
"Xiong Qinshun, Xiong Binghua, Xiong Chumo, Xiong Haifeng, Xiong Heyu, Xiong Xianghui, Xiong Zhizhang, the final winner should be one of them, other participants don't need to care too much."
"Then I choose Senior Xiong Chumo." Su Yian chuckled: "I don't know the others, so I choose Senior Xiong Chumo."
"I choose Xiong Qinshun." Bei Ming Zhiyao said with a smile: "Chu Mo has said he won't participate. Junior brother, don't you even have the power to use your brain?"
"Just be happy." Su Yian said.
"Then if I win, I have to unconditionally agree to a request, and this request can be redeemed at any time, how about that?"
Su Yian nodded: "Okay."
"That's it, Lagou." Bei Ming Zhiyao said with a smile in her eyes.
…
At half past seven, at the gate of Kaiping Palace.
The doors that are usually closed are open today to welcome guests from all walks of life.
The Kaiping Prince's Mansion is not only one of the nine heterosexual royal families in the Qin Dynasty, but also a top second-rate magic family. It has a certain status in the magic world of the Qin Dynasty, so it has many invited guests.
Most of the visitors were from families on the same level as the Kaiping Palace or one or two levels below. As for the visitors from first-rate magic families, there were not many.
"Master Xiong, the Xiong family has talented people from generation to generation. This is all the result of Master Xiong!"
"Master Xiong, you are fine. Your father is still strong, right?"
"Master Xiong, congratulations..."
The invited guests greeted Xiong Zhaolin one by one, and Xiong Zhaolin responded with a smile, showing the style of a wealthy family.
"Master Xiong, I heard that the eldest lady of the Beiming Family came to celebrate her birthday in person. Is it true or not?" The voice of a visitor instantly made the surrounding voices disappear, and pairs of eyes focused on Xiong Zhaolin at this moment. .
The Beiming Family was one of the magic families that stood at the pinnacle of the Great Qin Empire and even the Tianling World. A sage-level figure in the family made the Beiming Family a powerful and respected family.
The Kaiping Palace is only a second-rate magic family. Although it has a title granted by the late emperor, it is still far behind the Beiming family. The previous head of the Xiong family actually asked Miss Beiming to come to celebrate her birthday. They couldn't help but think too much.
Xiong Zhaolin smiled slightly: "Miss Beiming is now a guest in the palace."
The person who asked the question showed admiration on his face: "As expected of the Prince of Kaiping, I admire you!"
The whispers around them sounded again, and their minds began to get active. If they could take advantage of this birthday celebration to build a good relationship with Miss Beiming, it would definitely be a profitable business.
This big sign of Beiming’s family cannot be ignored!
"The Kaiping Prince's Mansion represented by the prince really has a profound background. He can even invite Miss Beiming. I am deeply impressed!"
The speaker was Wang Jingtang, who was also the first person to call Xiong Zhaolin Prince.
"Mr. Wang is here." Xiong Zhaolin smiled and held Wang Jingtang's outstretched hand.
Wang Jingtang is the underground emperor of Jingnan Province. He had a certain degree of cooperation with the Xiong family when he first rose to prominence, and also helped the Xiong family solve many problems that none of them could come forward for. Therefore, Xiong Zhaolin is still interested in this person who only has the strength of a mid-level magician. I appreciate it.
After all, Wang Jingtang has never failed in the tasks he assigned to Wang Jingtang.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Wang Jingtang leaned forward and made a full gesture.
"Haha, I still need more care from you, Mr. Wang." Although he is a powerful man at the level of a magician, Xiong Zhaolin does not have that arrogant attitude and looks approachable to everyone.
After saying that, Xiong Zhaolin shifted his gaze and looked at a man following Wang Jingtang: "Wu Hai didn't come with you this time?"
"He is injured, and he is an ordinary person. He has been doing wrong things these days. Why don't we bring his son over and train him to be his successor." Wang Jingtang said, "This boy's name is Wu Jiang. I will ask you, Your Majesty, to do more in the future." Take care of one or two.”
"I haven't met the prince yet." Wang Jingtang scolded with a smile.
"This junior has met the prince." Wu Jiang was also sincere and knelt down to kowtow to Xiong Zhaolin.
"Haha, baby, get up quickly." Xiong Zhaolin laughed and said to Wang Jingtang: "Please."
"Your Majesty, please be busy first, I will go in first." Wang Jingtang smiled and walked in with Wu Jiang.
Xiong Zhaolin looked away and entertained the next guests. He had no idea about Wang Jingtang bringing others here. A mid-level magician relied on the Xiong family's breath to become the underground emperor of Jingnan Province. What dare he have any objections?
"My lord, long time no see."
The second middle-aged man who called Xiong Zhaolin Prince appeared at the gate and looked at Xiong Zhaolin: "I haven't seen you for several months, but the prince's style is still the same."
Xiong Zhaolin was startled and looked at the person. Then a smile appeared on his face and he took the initiative to walk towards the middle-aged man.
This scene made many guests who were observing Xiong Zhaolin carefully look surprised. Who is this person that actually asked Xiong Zhaolin to take the initiative to greet him?
"Mr. Lu, it's been a long time." Xiong Zhaolin held the visitor's hand: "Can you come in?"
Lu Chengwang smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, but I'm not very lucky."
"Haha, Mr. Lu is joking."
"Please, please, please." Xiong Zhaolin said the word "please" three times in a row, which showed how much he valued Lu Chengwang.
"I can't entertain you now. I'll punish myself with three drinks later." Xiong Zhaolin whispered to Lu Chengwang.
"Your Majesty, please be busy first." Lu Chengwang said, "It's fine for me to be alone for a while."
"Haha, Butler Liu, treat Mr. Lu well!" Xiong Zhaolin said to a steward standing beside Gong.
"Yes, head of the family!"
Looking at Lu Chengwang's back, Xiong Zhaolin couldn't hide his joy: "I didn't expect Lu Chengwang to have time to come over. Now I can have a good talk with him about cooperation."
I was in a good mood for a while, and the originally boring welcome session became interesting.
…
At a certain seat, Wu Jiang looked around curiously, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
This is a large, antique building with a total of three floors, standing in a square shape.
The middle is where the competition is about to begin, and around it is where the guests are seated.
In each separate area, the guests sat down in an orderly manner and chatted quietly with each other.
Wang Jingtang glanced at Wu Jiang and said calmly: "Behave yourself and don't forget what you are here to do."
"I won't forget it. This is what I promised to the master and that guy." Wu Jiang looked away and put his right hand on his chest. In the pocket inside, there was a piece of rice paper full of handwriting.
"Mr. Wang, I have admired you for a long time. I have always heard that Wang Xiaosong is famous in Jingnan area, but today is the first time I see you, sir."
A slightly flattering voice sounded from beside him. Wang Jingtang turned his head and looked around. After thinking for a moment, he remembered who this slightly older man was.
"Mr. Xia." Wang Jingtang smiled slightly: "I am the one I have admired for a long time."
The Xia family is also a magic family in Jingnan Province. It used to be a second-rate magic family, but in the past ten years, it has become increasingly weak. The old man in front of me is Xia Dengyuan, the head of the Xia family. He is nearly seventy years old, but he is only a high-level 2 A super magician, which shows the current strength of the Xia family.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Xia Dengyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Wang has so many masters, and his power is centered on Jingnan Province and radiates to the two surrounding provinces. The Xia family cannot compare with you, sir."
Wang Jingtang said: "The Xia family also has a history of hundreds of years and has a deep foundation, but I have a question."
"Just ask, sir."
"Please bear with me if I have offended you." Wang Jingtang said apologetically, and then asked, "I wonder what the relationship is between Mr. Xia and the Xiong family?"
"No wonder you have such doubts, Mr. Wang." Xia Dengyuan chuckled: "That's true. I usually don't come to the Xiong family. Others will inevitably wonder why the Xiong family invited me, a bad old man from a declining family..."
"My daughter's name is Xia Ruoshu, she is Xiong Xiaohan's wife, and Chu Mo is my grandson."
Hearing this, Wang Jingtang's eyes flashed with strange color, and Wu Jiang behind him also turned his head and stared at the old man.
The name Xia Ruoshu was naturally familiar to the two of them. From Xie Qingsong, they knew the name Xia Ruoshu.
He was killed eighteen years ago.
No wonder the Xiong family invited Xia Dengyuan. After all, Xia Dengyuan was Xiong Xiaohan's father-in-law and was related by marriage to the Xiong family.
Wang Jingtang knew the name Xia Ruoshu, but this was the first time he knew that Xia Ruoshu belonged to the Xia family.
But Wang Jingtang pretended to be confused. He had been here for nearly two years, so how could he know the name Xia Ruoshu?
Xia Dengyuan looked at Wang Jingtang's confused expression and sighed: "That happened eighteen years ago. My daughter has passed away long ago."
"I have heard of Xiong Xiaohan's reputation as a genius. The woman who can make him fall in love must be extremely outstanding. What a pity."
"It's a pity, yes, it's such a pity..."
"But Mr. Xia, don't be too sad. I heard that Xiong Chumo is a top student at Tianji Magic Academy. You have a great grandson!"
When it came to Xiong Chumo, Xia Dengyuan's expression softened a bit: "Chu Mo is a good boy, just don't follow in his father's footsteps."
"Maybe he is the future King of Kaiping."
"Haha..." Xia Dengyuan looked at the center of the field, with a cold look in his eyes: "King Kaiping, how can you be so good?"
