Since that day in the long street battle in Tongyou City, the death of You Haibiao, a fourth-level master from Beihai Academy, has been widely spread in Tongyou City.
However, amid the divergent opinions on the cause of You Haibiao's death, the senior officials of the five colleges gathered in Tongyou City remained silent on the matter.
And under the cover of this "inaction" appearance, time has passed by for more than half a month, and this matter has gradually faded away in Tongyou City.
Especially during this half month, the convoys of Ji, Liu, and Yun, the other three major families in Tongyou City, returned to Tongyou City from the two battlefields through Tongyou Academy, each time causing quite a stir in the city.
.
Especially when the Liu family's motorcade returned, news of Liu Jitang's death spread, causing an uproar in Tongyou City.
If it hadn't been for the news that Liu Zhiyuan had successfully condensed the evil light of his life and advanced to the fourth level of martial arts, people would probably be talking about when the four major families in Tongyou City would become the three major families, or even now.
Maybe someone would add insult to injury.
Because no new fourth-level warriors had appeared in Tongyou City for a long time, after Liu Zhiyuan advanced to the fourth level, discussions about the new fourth-level warriors were quickly triggered in Tongyou City.
It was only then that the warriors in Tongyou City knew that, in addition to the mountain chief and the four deputy mountain chiefs of Tongyou Academy, there were Liu Qinglan, the instructor of Shangshe, Shang Lubing, the general manager of the examination department, and the general manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Dong Qianzui is actually a fourth-level warrior!
In this battle between the two realms, although Tongyou City lost two fourth-level warriors, Dong Qianzui and Liu Jitang, it also gained three new martial evil warriors, Liu Zhiyuan, Shang Ke, and Kang Ci.
And the overall strength of Tongyou City is actually rising instead of falling!
And it was only at this time that many warriors suddenly realized that among the four major families that had always stood side by side, the merchant had unknowingly had two fourth-level warriors!
How could this not surprise everyone in Tongyou City?
Could it be that the strength rankings of the four major families in Tongyou City are about to shift?
You must know that in the common understanding of Tongyou City, merchants are the lucky ones who were able to rise because of Kou Chongxue's support, and they have always been the last among the four major families.
It is precisely because of this that merchants make other second-rate families in Tongyou City jealous.
Many people think that the merchants are just lucky. If Kou Chongxue had picked any second-rate family in Tongyou City to support them, their development would have been no worse than that of the merchants in more than ten years!
Nowadays, the merchant is about to soar into the sky. Two fourth-level warriors, and it is said that Shang Bo's cultivation may have reached the fourth level of the martial evil realm. This strong sense of gap is likely to push the merchant to the forefront.
trend.
However, a piece of news soon spread throughout Tongyou City, and even began to spread to other regions through the senior officials of the other four frontier colleges gathered in Tongyou City.
Shang Bo, the former patriarch of the Shang family in Tongyou City, has resigned from the position of patriarch and has no longer been involved in the affairs of merchants. He has been solely responsible for the positions of deputy mountain chief of Tongyou City and chief teaching officer of Sanshe. The position of the patriarch of the Shang family is assumed by Shang.
"What does this mean? The retired patriarch of Shang has expelled himself from the family?"
"It's a trick to hide one's ears and steal the bell. The business is really at a critical moment of life and death. Let's see if he cares!"
"In layman's terms! Today's Tongyou City, Tongyou College and the four major families can be said to have prospered and suffered losses. What does it matter if Shang Bo is the patriarch of a business or not?"
"In this way, if we don't count Shang Bo, the former patriarch, the overall strength of the current merchant family is probably the last among the four major families!"
"Don't forget, the merchants have gained the most in the two battle fields this time! The ruins of the Zhu family were born, the Siling Mountain was broken, and the foundations of these two major forces were taken away by the academy and the four major families. The size of the convoy returned by the four major families in the previous series
It can be judged that the merchant's harvest is almost two or three times that of the other three. In this way, the shallow foundation of the Shang family that has always been criticized will be supplemented. Not surprisingly, the overall strength of the merchant will rise in a short period of time.
Let’s make a big improvement!”
"..."
In the midst of the hustle and bustle in Tongyou City, Yu Chengjin, the sword-bearing elder of Jianmen Academy, quietly came to the Shang Mansion to visit.
"Elder Yu is here, my disciple of the Shang family is full of glory. Please, please come in!"
Although Shang Ke was surprised at Yu Chengjin's visit, he naturally welcomed him into the inner hall with enthusiasm.
After a servant served tea, the two exchanged greetings, and Yu Chengjin directly explained the purpose of his visit.
"I wonder if Mr. Shang from Shang Xia in your mansion is here, but I have something to ask you to see Mr. Shang."
Hearing this, Shang Ke was curious, how could a fourth-level warrior, the dignified elder of Jianmen Academy, beg the head of a second-level disciple of his family?
However, Shang Ke just changed his mind and roughly guessed that this matter must be related to the battle on Long Street that day.
Shang Ke didn't ask much, he just gave instructions to the people waiting outside the door, and then some servants hurried forward to report to Shang Xia.
Shang Xia had just finished drawing the last rune of a sword talisman when he heard a report from a servant outside the door.
Shang Xia put down the pen, picked up the sword talisman he had just drawn and blew it gently, seeing that the ink on it suddenly dried up, then he flicked it gently and laughed softly: "I finally came to the door, I got three hundred silver dollars!
"
When he saw Shang Xia again, Yu Chengjin's eyes were even more strange, because he found that Shang Xia's Qi was perfect at this time, and even he couldn't see through it. He couldn't help but look at Shang Ke and sighed: "Shang Xia is here again.
We have to fill in the shoes of a third-level master, and he is only twenty years old now, far ahead of you and me back then!"
The tone of his words sounded quite sad.
"The seniors are ridiculously complimentary, and the juniors can't bear it."
Shang Xia said with a smile: "I wonder if the senior has summoned the junior to come here, what are his instructions?"
Yu Chengjin pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, my little friend, during the battle on Long Street the day before yesterday, I saw my little friend's swordsmanship and had the idea of increasing my disciples' knowledge. Then Hou Yuchun actually came to fight with me on my order.
The little friends competed, but Yelang was used to being arrogant and arrogant in his words. However, he was given a sword lesson by the little friend, which made him understand what it means that there is a sky beyond the sky. This was originally what I meant. But the little friend has superb swordsmanship, so
The old man was also amazed, and the boy was an inexperienced man. He is still bedridden until now. The external injury does not matter, but the Dantian is not strong enough. In desperation, the old man had no choice but to come to the house to ask for advice. What can I do?
"
A dignified fourth-level master said this, and his attitude was so low. Shang Xia, let alone rejecting it, even if he wanted to say a few words, he was afraid that he would become enemies.
Without Shang Ke winking at the side, Shang Xia directly presented the sword talisman he had just successfully drawn and said: "What did the senior say? It's because the junior is not good at practicing. He can't fully control the magical power he just cultivated, so he made a careless move.
If you hurt Senior Brother Hou, this sword talisman will be regarded as my apology to Senior Brother Hou. Senior only needs to stick the sword talisman on the Xiaguan point."
Yu Chengjin took Shang Xia's sword talisman with some suspicion. Seeing his calm expression, he knew there was no lie.
Just looking at the slightly weird and unfamiliar lines on the sword talisman in his hand, Yu Chengjin couldn't help but said: "New talisman?"
Shang Xia turned a blind eye to Shang Ke, who was also surprised next to him, nodded and said: "New Talisman!"
Yu Chengjin pondered for a moment, put the talisman into his sleeve, and then smiled and said: "How many times is this talisman fake?"
Shang Xia suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder if Senior Brother Hou pushed the pair of Pai Gow worth three hundred silver dollars that day?"
