However, to Lin Tianqi's expectation, there seemed to be no movement from Japan for several days. On the contrary, the entire Wumen was in great turmoil because of Wang Baxian's death. Originally, some senior Wumen personnel in other places were also in a state of turmoil during this period.
They all rushed back to Peiping, but these didn't matter much to Lin Tianqi. Apart from asking Li Qiang and Fang Ming to investigate and pay attention to the movements in Japan, they didn't care about anything else.
"Click!" Lin Tianqi and Elder Wu were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion by the pond in the backyard of the Wu family. Lin Tianqi pinched the white piece in his hand and groaned for a while, then dropped it on the chessboard. The two were playing chess.
"You look good today. It seems that you have almost recovered from your injuries?" Elder Wu also paused for a moment, then looked up at Lin Tianqi's rosy face and asked with concern.
"Fortunately, the injury is not too serious. I have been recovering for a few days and I have almost recovered." Lin Tianqi smiled. In fact, he was not injured at all that day. Everything was just pretending. But in this regard, except for himself and
Except for Li Qiang and Fang Ming, no one else, including Elder Wu, knew, because these people had never thought that Lin Tianqi's strength had exceeded the level of Huajin.
However, Lin Tianqi did not intend to tell everyone about this. Even Elder Wu did not believe it, but there were some things that the fewer people knew about, the better. A person's strength is deep and shallow, and many times he shows enough power to be a deterrent.
The level was enough. The strength he showed in killing Wang Ba was enough for the people of Wumen to take him seriously. There was no need to show all his strength again.
"That's good. You killed Wang Baxian this time, which caused quite a turmoil in the sect." Elder Wu didn't have much doubt, and spoke again, bringing up this matter.
"I haven't brought you any trouble, right?" Lin Tianqi said calmly. He knew that killing Wang Baxian would definitely cause a lot of turmoil in Wumen. After all, he is a deputy sect leader with a high position and authority.
A Huajin master, one of the most powerful masters in the martial arts, there are so many things involved in this, it is difficult not to cause turmoil, but he does not care too much about this kind of thing.
"That's not true. Your action this time is well-founded and reasonable. No one can find fault with it." Elder Wu said, looking at Lin Tianqi's eyes flashing with admiration, but then he reminded: "But this time
After all, Wang Baxian is the deputy sect leader of the sect. He has an extraordinary status and is related to many things. If you kill him directly this time, there will still be some complaints in the sect."
"Wang Baxian has no room for relaxation with me. We can only save one, so I have to take action. But in the future, I will choose to rest at home for a while."
Lin Tianqi smiled when he heard this and said, of course, his cultivation is only superficial. What he meant is that I will keep a low profile for a while.
Elder Wu naturally understood what Lin Tianqi meant, smiled and nodded, looking at Lin Tianqi with even more approval in his eyes.
"I heard that many people from the sect have come to Beiping during this period?" Lin Tianqi asked again, talking about the situation of Wu sect in the past few days.
"Yes, Deputy Sect Master Huo and the other three elders have returned to Beiping. In addition, the other four star envoys have also arrived in Beiping."
"I heard that White Tiger arrived in Peiping last night, and Qinglong, Suzaku, and Xuanwu are also on their way back."
Elder Wu said lightly, the current high-level structure of Wumen is one sect leader, two deputy sect leaders, eight elders, and five star envoys. The status of the elders is the same as that of the star envoys. The eight elders are divided into two criminal elders.
And six honorary elders, the two criminal elders both have the ability to transform energy. Elder Wu is one of them, and the other is named Lin Xu.
Among the five star envoys, Lin Tianqi now takes the position of Qilin, and the remaining four positions are also occupied by others. Through the introduction of Elder Wu, Lin Tianqi already knows the names of the four people. Qinglong is called Duan Qing, and White Tiger is called Zhu Qi.
Zhuque's name is Li Lianxin, and Xuanwu's name is Cheng Gang. Among the four, Zhuque Li Lianxin is a woman, and the daughter of the sect leader Li Musheng.
"Wang Ba died first. The position of deputy sect leader is vacant and needs to be filled eventually. This position affects people's hearts."
Elder Wu suddenly sighed quietly.
"It is indeed tempting, but even if you are tempted, you must have the strength. Now, besides Elder Wu and Elder Lin Xu, who else in the sect is qualified to compete for this position."
Lin Tianqi said lightly, the Wu Sect values strength very much, just like the position of the five-star envoy, which is selected solely based on strength, and the position of deputy sect leader is also the same. The first condition for blocking others is to be convinced by strength.
How can we do this if we don’t have the strength to transform ourselves? The second is to contribute qualifications.
In the entire martial arts sect, apart from Lin Tianqi, there are only five original Huajin warriors, the sect leader Li Musheng, deputy sect leaders Huo Qiubai and Wang Baxian, as well as two criminal elders, Elder Wu and another criminal elder Lin.
Xu, now that Wang Ba Xian has died, naturally only Lin Xu and Wang Ba Xian are left who are eligible to run for the position of deputy sect leader.
In terms of strength, Lin Tianqi is qualified, but his qualifications are too low, and he himself is not interested.
For him, Qilin's current position in Wu Sect is enough, but if Elder Wu takes the position of deputy sect leader, he will naturally be happy to see it happen.
"I wonder what Elder Wu thinks about this matter?" Lin Tianqi looked at Elder Wu and asked what he meant.
"Human life is like walking against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Those who can fight will naturally fight."
Elder Wu said lightly, but he did not shy away from it. In fact, for the current relationship between the two parties, there is no need to shy away from these things.
In Wumen, Lin Tianqi and the Wu family have now become an alliance, and for other people in the Wumen, they have already regarded Lin Tianqi as a faction with the Wu family.
"Elder Zhou will return to Peiping tomorrow. I will make arrangements in the evening to invite Elder Zhao. Then we will have a meal together and get to know each other."
After a pause, Elder Wu said again, and Lin Tianqi nodded. Although he didn't know Elder Zhou, Lin Tianqi knew that Elder Zhou should be an elder who was close to Elder Wu, just like Elder Zhao, although he didn't say it explicitly.
, but it is obvious that Elder Zhou must be from Elder Wu’s faction.
The superficial meaning is to have a meal, but the actual meaning is that everyone is one of the same people, and if we get to know each other, we will have a mutual understanding in the future.
Lin Tianqi is not a person who does not understand the ways of the world. He naturally knows these things. In fact, no matter where he is in any organization, forming cliques is inevitable.
And now, in Wumen, Lin Tianqi, Elder Wu, Elder Zhao, and Elder Zhou who have not yet met are members of the same faction.
After spending most of the day at Wu's house and playing chess with Elder Wu, Lin Tianqi said goodbye and left.
"Mr. Lin"
Just as they walked to the door, they met Wu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Xueyi who came in from the outside. They seemed to have just come back from shopping, carrying large and small bags in their hands. Zhao Xueyi called Lin Tianqi, and Wu Xiaoxiao next to her saw Lin Tianqi.
He didn't say anything.
"Miss Zhao"
Lin Tianqi responded politely to Zhao Xueyi after hearing this, then looked at Wu Xiaoxiao and said politely.
"Miss Wu."
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you, Xueyi, let's go."
Seeing Lin Tianqi calling him, Wu Xiaoxiao gave Lin Tianqi a cold face, as if a child was angry, and pulled Zhao Xueyi and walked inside.
Zhao Xueyi showed an embarrassed and apologetic expression to Lin Tianqi, and was pulled by Wu Xiaoxiao towards the courtyard. Lin Tianqi moved the corner of his mouth in a rather rogue manner.
Because after Wu Xiaoxiao called him twice to make an appointment in the past few days, he excused himself by saying that he had something to do, Wu Xiaoxiao never gave him a good look, but Lin Tianqi didn't pay too much attention.
He glanced at the direction Wu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Xueyi were leaving, and then walked out of the door.
"gentlemen"
"gentlemen"
At the door, Fang Ming and Li Qiang were already waiting in their cars. When they saw Lin Tianqi coming out, they respectfully called out and opened the car door.
"Go back to your residence."
After getting into the car and getting into the passenger seat, Lin Tianqi only answered.
Li Qiang nodded, started the car and left from the door of Wu's house, heading towards the residence where Lin Tianqi lived.
"Is there any news from Japan?"
On the way back, Lin Tianqi asked the two of them again.
"No, according to reports from our informants and spies, no special actions were found on the Japanese side during this period."
Fang Ming spoke from behind.
Lin Tianqi nodded.
"Don't relax, let me keep an eye on you below, and report any news to me as soon as possible."
"I understand, sir, don't worry."
The two nodded.
"Ding, the system upgrade is complete. This upgrade took five days. All functions are enabled and the host can use it to view."
There was a crisp sound, and the system's mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and Lin Tianqi was instantly shaken.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Next to them, Li Qiang and Fang Ming noticed the change in Lin Tianqi's expression and wondered.
"It's okay, I thought of some personal matters, let's drive."
