For an instant, everyone in the lobby looked towards the door. There was a group of more than thirty people, headed by Huo Qiubai, Qinglong Duan Qing, White Tiger Zhu Qi and Elder Yan. Elder Sun followed closely, followed by six others.
Among the dozen or so people, more than a dozen are masters of dark martial arts and core members of the inner sect of Wumen. The rest are all martial artists of Mingjin and some members of the outer sect of Wumen, but they are all from Huo Qiubai's line.
.
Seeing Huo Qiubai and his party walking in from the door, the expressions of everyone in the lobby changed slightly. Li Musheng, who was sitting at the head of the inner hall, couldn't help but stare at Huo Qiubai, who was leading the group.
.
Lin Tianqi also raised his head and looked at Huo Qiubai and his group, slightly curious. Although he heard the names of Huo Qiubai and his group almost every day during this period, this was the first time they met. When he looked over, the first thing he saw was
The leader, Huo Qiubai, looks to be in his fifties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with a small stature and a rather stern face, especially his bright eyes.
Qinglong Duan Qing is a young man with a handsome face and a gentle temperament. He has a face like a crown jewel and is very handsome. He wears leather shoes and trousers, a shirt and vest, and long hair. He is handsome and handsome. Lin Tianqi looked at Duan up and down.
Qing Ji glanced at him and couldn't help but nod secretly. Even with his critical eyes, he had to admit that this Qing's temperament, appearance, and figure were all first-class, and he had three parts of his heroic appearance.
White Tiger Zhu Qi looks relatively ordinary, with dark skin, rough pores, and short hair. He looks like a rough guy, but his aura is very eye-catching and he has a fierce aura.
"Humph, some people are so arrogant. The owner of the door is already here and they are still lingering outside. Now that they are here, with so many people together, they are really majestic! ...Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a sound. In the middle of the inner hall, an elder from Li Musheng's line saw Huo Qiubai and his party coming in. He slapped the armrest of the seat and snorted coldly. Lin Tianqi didn't recognize this elder, but he knew his last name.
Wang, known as Elder Wang. After Elder Wang said these words, the scene became silent again. Many people's expressions changed slightly. They all looked at Huo Qiubai and his party, and some looked at Li Musheng.
"What did Elder Wang mean when he said this?" Zhu Qi, who was behind Huo Qiubai, stared directly at the elder Wang who spoke.
"You know what I mean, huh." Elder Wang also snorted coldly, not wanting to be outdone.
When Zhu Qi heard this, his eyes were sharp, and he was about to have a fit, but Huo Qiubai immediately stopped him. He looked at Elder Wang and everyone with his fists clasped, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, I'm late, let the door master
, Elder Wang, all the elders, all the star envoys and many colleagues have been waiting for a long time, I am really sorry, sorry, sorry..." Huo Qiubai said with a smile on his face.
"Since it's a traffic jam on the road, let's forget it." After Huo Qiu finished speaking, Li Musheng followed suit and said, "Everyone, take a seat. It's getting late, so it's time to start."
Li Musheng said in a calm tone. His voice was not very loud, but it had an inexplicable majesty. Sitting on the front seat, his expression was unchanged from ancient times to the present. There was no sign of happiness or anger, and he exuded the aura of a superior person.
When Huo Qiubai heard this, he smiled and bowed his hands to Li Musheng and the others, with a smile on his face and a humble expression. From that look, there was no sign of any indifference to Li Musheng.
"This must be Ambassador Lin Xing. I have heard of Ambassador Lin Xing a long time ago and have always wanted to meet him. We have been close friends for a long time. I finally got to meet him today. I am glad to meet you."
Suddenly, Huo Qiubai, who was walking on the road, turned his head and looked at Lin Tianqi, and said with enthusiasm.
"I wonder if Lin Xingshi is free tonight. Huo has been friends with Lin Xingshi for a long time and would like to invite Lin Xingshi to have a drink with him tonight."
After saying this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. Li Musheng, Elder Wu and others immediately looked at Lin Tianqi, while Lin Tianqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Qiubai.
This Huo Qiubai has no good intentions.
The last time people from the Kuomintang came to him, they came back against a wall. Considering Huo Qiubai's relationship with the Kuomintang, he didn't believe that Huo Qiubai didn't know about it. Moreover, given Huo Qiubai's energy in Wumen, he might have already been influenced by Elder Wu and Li
Regarding the news of Mu Sheng's alliance, what would Li Mu Sheng, Elder Wu and others think when he extended an invitation in front of so many people and showed his friendship?!
"No time!"
Lin Tianqi said coldly that he didn't know exactly what Huo Qiubai was paying attention to, but he would naturally not look down upon such an obviously uneasy and well-intentioned person.
"Besides, I don't like people who play tricks on me."
Finally, Lin Tianqi spoke again and added.
In an instant, Huo Qiubai's face froze, then recovered, and maintained a smile:
"Haha, it seems that Ambassador Lin Xing has some misunderstanding about Huo. That's it. Let's talk about it later when we have time."
After that, Huo Qiubai said no more and quickly walked to his seat and sat down.
The scene became quiet again. Seeing everyone had arrived, Li Musheng nodded to the old man in charge at the door.
"Martial Arts Conference, deputy sect leader election begins now!"
The old man at the door immediately spoke aloud. After speaking, he took out a scroll from his hand, opened it, and began to speak aloud.
Lin Tianqi sat on the chair and listened a little bored. What the old man said at the beginning was nothing more than a lot of useless nonsense like the opening of the conference in his previous life. It was nothing more than some nonsense about Wumen.
Most of the stories involved singing praises and reminiscing about the past. This section lasted for nearly a while before it ended, and we finally got back to the topic.
"Today, the position of deputy sect leader is vacant..."
The old man in charge rambled on a lot about the election of the deputy sect leader, which was nothing more than some conditions and requirements for the election. To run for the deputy sect leader of the Wu sect, two things must be met. One is that the strength is sufficient.
Huajin, the other one is the reputation and qualifications, and those who can achieve these two points, now the only ones present are Wu Elder Wu San and Lin Elder Lin Xu.
When the conditions for the election of the deputy sect leader are met, everyone present in Wumen will vote for the election. The votes will be divided into three parts. One part will be voted by people from the outer sect of Wumen, that is, those outside the lobby, and the other part will be voted by those from the inner hall.
A group of core members of Wumen Anjin voted, and the last part was Lin Tianqi and other Wumen senior officials voting, excluding those who were running for election.
In the voting of three parts, whoever can win in two of the three parts will be the deputy gate leader.
"Now in our Wu Sect, the only ones who are qualified to run for deputy sect leader are Elder Lin Xulin and Elder Wu Sanwu. This election will be between Elder Lin and Elder Wu. Now..."
"etc!"
Suddenly, just when the old man in charge was about to announce the final election, Lin Xu suddenly stood up and said with a smile.
"I usually have nothing to do with Yun Yehe, and I don't care about too many mundane things. The position of deputy sect leader requires too many things to manage, and it is not suitable for me. Therefore, I withdraw from this deputy sect leader election."
As soon as these words were said, there was a commotion at the scene. Li Musheng, Huo Qiubai, Elder Wu and others all looked at Lin Xu in surprise. Everyone present was surprised. No one thought that Lin Xu would directly quit as deputy sect leader.
Even Lin Tianqi was a little surprised by the election.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Lin Xu smiled faintly and didn't care.
In the eyes of others, the position of the deputy head of the Wu Sect is lofty and powerful, but in his eyes, it is nothing more than a constraint. He is a person who prefers freedom and unrestraint, and he does not like those who fight overtly and openly.
Therefore, in his opinion, the position of deputy sect leader of Wumen is not only not a benefit, but also a position of right and wrong, so he never thought of running for it from the beginning.
And he also saw clearly that he didn't have any faction in Wumen, and he couldn't fight even if he wanted to. In that case, why not quit as soon as possible.
Almost no one present thought that Lin Xu would suddenly withdraw, and there was no sign before. This was mainly because Lin Xu had always been a loner in the sect, and there were very few people in the sect who had real contact with him.
, so it’s normal that no one knew that he had already intended to quit.
After a brief commotion, the scene quickly settled down. Lin Xu voluntarily withdrew from the competition for deputy sect leader, so the final candidate was almost silent. Wu San, the elder Wu, was elected as the deputy sect leader as expected.
"That being the case, I declare that from now on, Elder Wu will stand in the way of my new deputy sect leader of Wu Sect."
The owner of the door, Li Musheng, stood up from his chair and announced loudly.
"Great, grandpa has become the deputy sect leader."
Outside the lobby, in the crowd, Wu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Wu Siguo, couldn't help but get excited. Wu Siguo, Zhao Xueyi and many people around him also showed excitement for a moment. These people are all Elder Wu.
People from the same lineage have more or less connections, and it is naturally good for them for Elder Wu to stand in the way of the deputy sect leader.
But soon, when their eyes fell on Lin Tianqi, the excitement on the faces of Wu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Xueyi dimmed again.
Ever since they last learned that Lin Tianqi was getting married, both women have been in a bad mood.
Lin Tianqi's senses were very keen, and she also felt Wu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Xueyi looking at her from the outer hall, but she ignored them and pretended not to see them.
As Li Musheng announced that Elder Wu had been elected as the deputy sect leader, the entire lobby was in commotion, but soon, Li Musheng stepped forward again, pressed his hands, and the scene became quiet again.
"In addition, today, there is another important matter related to my martial arts clan that I want to announce here."
Li Musheng spoke again.
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.
Huo Qiubai, Duan Qing, Zhu Qi and others' expressions changed slightly, and they felt something in their hearts.
"From now on, I have decided that Wumen will fully support Marshal Zhang!"
Li Musheng said again. After speaking, he glanced at everyone present.
