Liu Qingfeng took a sip of the spiritual tea and looked at Liu Qinglan, "Please contact her and invite her to come to Liu's house to participate in the hunting competition."
The Hunting Competition is a grand event on the Five Islands, and the results of the competition are directly related to the allocation of sea areas in the next ten years.
Although the Liu family has already decided on the contestants, it is always beneficial to recruit one more monk who is in the late stage of foundation building to participate.
Liu Qinglan complied, took out the token and sent a divine thought to the other party.
However, when she saw the reply, her expression turned ugly, "The other party said that he had promised to the Cheng family."
"Cheng family? Didn't you say that she is not close to the Cheng family?"
Liu Qingfeng was a little surprised. Among the three major cultivation families in Nansha Island, the Zhang family has always kept a low profile, while the Cheng family has been in decline in recent years and has gradually declined.
Only his Liu family is in the ascendant and prosperous.
That's why he was so sure that after weighing the pros and cons, the other party would eventually choose the Liu family.
Before Liu Qinglan could reply, he put the tea cup on the table.
"That's all. Now that she has made her choice, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore."
If Xu Chunniang chose the Zhang family, Liu Qingfeng would still have some concerns, but the Cheng family has become increasingly unpopular in recent years, so there is no need to worry.
In fact, in Xu Chunniang's eyes, there is not much difference between the three major families.
In the past few months, she has been reading through the bone books, supplementing various materials, and everything about the Kraken.
During this period, he even went to sea and personally found some Kraken beasts to practice with.
But the real core resources are firmly in the hands of the Xiuzhen family.
The situation on other islands is similar to that of Nansha Island. If Xu Chunniang wants to know more about the maritime cultivation world, she will inevitably have to deal with these cultivation families.
It was at this time that Cheng Surong broke through the foundation-building period, approached her again, and invited her to serve as guest minister in the Cheng family, and she readily agreed.
As for the hunting competition, Cheng Surong also mentioned it to her, expressing his hope that she could represent the Cheng family in the competition.
But Xu Chunniang has not yet decided whether to participate.
She agreed to be the guest guest of the Cheng family, just to borrow the Cheng family's library.
The position of guest minister is a relatively free position and enjoys a certain amount of support. Except when the Cheng family needs to take action when it encounters a crisis, there are not many restrictions at other times.
Of course, if you are willing to pay more for the Cheng family, you will get more resources accordingly.
Since Xu Chunniang became a guest of the Cheng family a month ago, she has spent all day in the library, reading through the bone fragments eagerly.
Except for Cheng Surong who came to see her twice, no one bothered her.
Shortly after Cheng Surong returned home, she received the Foundation Building Pill and successfully established her foundation.
Since the establishment of the foundation, her temperament has become more and more calm. In addition, she has attracted a monk who has successfully established the foundation for the Cheng family, and she has gained the trust and appreciation of the family head, Cheng Shanling.
Seeing that the deadline for the hunting competition was approaching day by day, but the candidates for the contest had not yet been decided, Cheng Shanling finally couldn't sit still.
He called Cheng Surong again and asked about Xu Chunniang.
"How about, that little friend Xu who saved you, is he willing to fight for my Cheng family and participate in this hunting competition?"
There was a trace of embarrassment on Cheng Surong's face, "Senior Xu has been in the library all day. I once mentioned the hunting competition to her twice, but she didn't seem interested."
Cheng Shanling's eyes flashed with contemplation. He had been staying in the library reading for so many days, but he was calm and patient.
I've never seen her take action, so I don't know how powerful she is?
But she was able to practice alone on an unknown island to the point where she is now, so she wouldn't be any worse off.
"She likes reading, but I wonder if she is interested in the books on the third floor of the library?"
Cheng Surong was slightly stunned, "What does the head of the family mean?"
The third floor of the Library Pavilion has always been open only to the Cheng family, with rare exceptions.
Even she only gained the qualification to step into it after building the foundation.
Cheng Shanling nodded, his eyes indifferent.
"Books are dead things. Why not use them to win over a monk who has perfected his foundation? Go and invite that little friend Xu to come over and say that I have something important to discuss with you."
Since Xu Chunniang liked reading, he followed her likes and was not afraid that she would not be attracted to her.
Cheng Surong understood, bowed and exited the hall, heading towards the library.
When Xu Chunniang heard that the master of the house had invited him, she didn't dare to keep the Golden elixir monk waiting for a long time. She put down the bone book in her hand and hurried to the hall.
"I wonder why the head of the Cheng family called me here?"
"sit down."
Cheng Shanling smiled slightly, asked someone to bring him some spiritual tea, and personally picked up the pot and poured the tea.
"This green bamboo after the rain is a specialty of Qingzhu Island. Even I only got four taels of it. I heard that Xu Xiaoyou likes to read. I guess he is an elegant person. Let's try this tea to see if it suits my taste."
Cheng Shanling is a monk in the middle stage of Jindan and is the head of the Cheng family. Xu Chunniang is really flattered when he pours tea for her with his own hands.
"Master Cheng, you're welcome, I'm just a rough guy."
She took the tea cup with both hands, guessing the other person's intention.
Is it for the hunting competition, or simply to win people's hearts?
Cheng Shanling's smile deepened, "You don't have to be polite, little friend. You have achieved such cultivation at such a young age, and you are so diligent and eager to learn. You will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Xu Chunniang was a little embarrassed by the praise. She used tea to cover up her embarrassment, and said sincerely, "I know that my knowledge is shallow, so I want to read more books."
"If I, a junior from the Cheng family, could achieve as much as Xu Xiaoyou, I would be satisfied."
Cheng Shanling sighed, then turned helpless, "It's a pity that the children of my Cheng family are incompetent. We can't even find the manpower to participate in the hunting competition."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang still didn't understand that the head of the Cheng family invited her here just for the hunting competition.
"I'm not afraid of making fun of you, but my Cheng family has indeed experienced a decline in talent over the years. In addition, another golden elixir monk in my Cheng family has a short lifespan, so he has become increasingly declining.
But my Cheng family has been inherited on Nansha Island for two thousand years. I can't guarantee that the number of books collected will definitely far exceed that of the Zhang and Liu families.
Xu Xiaoyou, if you are willing to participate in this hunting competition, all the bone books on the third floor of the library are available for you to browse."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang couldn't help but feel excited.
She is staying in the library these days. In addition to supplementing her knowledge, she is also looking for information about the Dead Sea and the five northwest sects.
But after so many days, I got nothing.
It's not that she has never thought about the third floor of the library, but she is not from the Cheng family and does not have the authority to set foot there.
The conditions Cheng Shanling offered now spoke to her heart.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, "I have only been in Nansha Island for half a year. I have never heard of the hunting competition before, and I am not familiar with the rules. I may not be able to take on this important task."
"My dear friend, you are too humble. You were born on an unknown island, and at such a young age, you are able to practice to the perfection of foundation building on your own. It shows that your talent and opportunity are not bad."
