Chapter 176 – The Squad

“So why does Patriarch Xue think this official is here?” On the stage, Zhang Bai Ling was talking to Xue Qingqiu: “This official is not likely to be appointed to Lingzhou for a long period of time, so I don’t care about anything for a while. One day when I go elsewhere, why can’t I use all of Patriarch Xue’s creative ideas?”

Xue Qingqiu came to a sudden realization, crying and laughing in his heart. After guessing in vain what kind of underhanded tactics this guy was thinking of, he actually didn’t intend to play any underhanded tactics at all, because in Zhang Bai Ling’s eyes, there wasn’t much of an antagonistic relationship between the two sides. His intention to restrict Xue Mu is just following orders, to the time when nine parts of Lingzhou heaven and earth are involved in this event, and then forced a stalemate is simply meaningless.

He is a politician, not a jianghu person ……

Want to understand these, Xue Qingqiu can not help but shake her head and laugh out, that suddenly bloomed bright color to see Zhang Bai Ling stayed for a moment, the heart subconsciously floated up Qin Wuyi’s silhouette. Although it is known to be a demoness, Xue Qingqiu is famous for her bloody-handed divine might, and everyone’s mind will never think of Xue Qingqiu in terms of how beautiful she is, but how strong she is. Zhang Bai Ling this is the first time to find the original Xue Qingqiu’s beauty is not inferior to Qin Wuyi, if the temperament of the additive also has had, secretly no wonder Xue Mu trapped here, exhaustive effort for the Star and Moon Sect to contribute to it …….

Thinking of this, Zhang Bai Ling sighed, whispered: “Xue City Lord is the most amazing character this official has ever seen, countless strange ideas in his heart really don’t know how he came up with them. Truthfully, that Qin Fairy’s regular series, this official is a collection of a copy of, but unfortunately did not get out early, did not get the collector’s edition. And that ‘Legend of the White-Haired Demoness’ is now also a daily must-read for this official, and the emotions of the story inside are really something to see.”

Xue Qingqiu turned her head to look for Xue Mu, who was talking to An Quartet about something, and seemed to be ready for the assembly to begin. A few moments of pride welled up in her heart, and she responded with a smile, “It is only right that Xue Mu is the subordinate of Sheriff Zhang, and I would like to ask Sheriff Zhang to take care of me in the future. The collector’s edition of that music box will be delivered to the county governor’s residence every other day.”

Also near the ink is black, in the past, Xue Qingqiu wouldn’t and didn’t care to play this set, but without realizing it, he actually learned it as well.

“All of you! Please be quiet!” An Sifang’s voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Turning his head to look, he only saw An Sifang lifting his breath and spreading his voice, spreading across the entire field, “The first Spirit State Martial Arts Competition is jointly organized by the imperial court’s Department Six and the super sect Star Moon Sect, aiming to promote martial arts styles and inspire cultivation. Those who enter the top ten, each have their own rewards, the champion can get the Star Moon Sect to provide a heavenly level technique, the type of any choice! You can also get personal guidance from the world’s most powerful man, Patriarch Xue! I won’t go into the specifics, everyone must have seen the flyer.”

The scene was filled with clapping and hollering, and the crowd was raging beyond measure. Xue Mu watched and sighed, originally he would have wanted to take the limelight for this, who told him that his cultivation wasn’t enough and the shouts couldn’t possibly reach the entire field? Look at this tonnage and volume of An Sifang, he deserves to be in the limelight.

“The first round of elimination matches, in line with the principle of absolute fairness and impartiality, to draw lots to determine the opponent. All participants to my left box to touch a note, one side of the note has the words A B C D E, corresponding to the five major ring, the other side is the number. A 1 vs. A 2, A 3 vs. A 4, and so on ……”

The contestants went up to draw lots in order under the guidance of the Star Moon Sect’s sister and Department Six’s constable.

“Old me is C three! Who is C4?”

“Grandpa Ding Si is here! Ding San come out and suffer death!”

“Ah! Senior brother! I’m A7 and you’re A8, we’re paired up in the first round!”

In the midst of all the noise, Xue Mu suddenly saw a big man sitting to the side silently holding a note, it was none other than Fierce Tiger Sect’s Young Sect Master, Singh Tai. Seeing an acquaintance competing, Xue Mu paced over to pat his shoulder and asked with a smile, “How many rings and what number?”

“Ring B, seventy-four.”

“How many from the Mighty Tiger Sect are here?”

“Just me.” Singh Tai sighed: “There aren’t many people left in the Mighty Tiger Sect.”

“Owe Pu Xiang’s debt is still not clear?”

“For the time being, I’m not sure, I’m counting on this competition to win a good ranking, and the prizes will cover the debt.”

Xue Mu laughed: “Feng Lieyang belongs to the world’s celebrities, and will not participate in this local-level tournament to lose value. And none of the Star Moon Sect Traceless Dao Vertical and Horizontal Dao have sent anyone to compete. Without these people stirring things up, I don’t think your hopes are small.”

Singh Tai smiled slightly bitterly, “I take your good advice.”

Xue Mu saw that he wasn’t very excited and looked sad, so he asked, “We’re also destined to be together, so why don’t you tell me what other difficulties you’re having, and I’ll try to help if I can.”

Singh Tai sighed: “Master has been lying on his deathbed for several years now, the master’s wife has been bearing the clan, but now she can no longer afford it. The Mighty Tiger Sect’s industry has been lost, and the land is gone, just holding on to an ancestral home. It is this time to capture the prize to offset the debt, the future and how to do? Masters and brothers ran away and scattered, only a few masters and brothers who grew up together are still holding on, I don’t think they can hold on for long ……”

Xue Mu was silent.

He had not witnessed the situation of a jianghu fight being wiped out yet, and for the time being, he did not know what it would feel like. On the contrary, this kind of business can’t go on bankruptcy finished situation he really saw too much in the modern era, but did not expect to come to this kind of world can also see, rather saddened. Suddenly remembered that he had realized before that the City Lord’s Mansion lacked a gatekeeper, and this Tiger Gate’s people were not quite suitable? Thinking of this, he said, “I do have a camp here for you Mighty Tiger Gate, I just don’t know if you guys would mind dropping the job.”

Singh Tai’s eyes lit up, “Where is the qualification for disdain, if City Lord Xue can point out a clear path, the entire Mighty Tiger Sect will be grateful!”

Xue Mu didn’t make any pretense and directly said, “My City Lord’s Mansion needs guards, and also needs people to do some chores. If you guys are willing to bend over backwards, not to mention taking the prizes to offset the debt, I will help you clear that little debt.”

I thought that Singh Tai would be disappointed with this kind of business, but unexpectedly he bowed to the ground, “City Lord is our benefactor, even if it’s not for the sake of business, Mighty Tiger Sect is willing to watch the door and guard the house for City Lord, and hold the whip and horses.”

Xue Mu nodded, this clan gave him a pretty good feeling, they were honest men, much more reliable than the character of the Yan Yang Sect’s group of goods. In the future, he would observe for a period of time, and if he was indeed reliable, he might even be able to be entrusted with an important position.

However, this matter also needs to talk to Xue Qingqiu, after all, this is considered to be him expanding additional forces for himself, considered to be his personal team, it is easy to trigger suspicion. Although Xue Qingqiu would not be suspicious of him, a bright and open greeting was also necessary. This was the learning of getting along with people, which was reflected in this little bit of small things.

Sure enough, when he got to the stage and mentioned it to Xue Qingqiu, Xue Qingqiu did not think it was disobedient, but on the contrary, he was also quite saddened: ”Their master and mistress are bearing the clan single-handedly, and I empathize with them. If you intend to help them a good thing.”

Words have no intention to listen to the intention, Xue Mu heard this first was stunned for a moment, soon green face to find in the field to help maintain order Zhuo Qingqing, quietly said: “Send someone to me to keep an eye on Pu Xiang, to see whether this goods is just like a mature woman, or this kind of a door of the top of the woman is particularly interested in.”

Zhuo Qingqing looked strange: “You wouldn’t be thinking ……”

Xue Mu stank, “Even though there’s not much evidence, I still feel that this bastard is impatient to live.”

Zhuo Qingqing laughed: “I’ll let people understand clearly, Gongzi doesn’t need to be so sensitive first, that guy is quite honest at the moment.”

Xue Mu nodded and returned to the stage. Taking a look at Zhang Bai Ling sitting beside Xue Qingqiu, Xue Mu had no self-consciousness of respecting his superior, and stuck a seat between the two of them. Xue Qingqiu glanced at him, seemingly knowing what he was thinking, the corner of his mouth hooked into an amused smile. Xue Mu looked at the venue without slanting his eyes, pretending not to see.

At the venue, the first elimination match had already kicked off.

Watching the ring go bang, Xue Mu watched with interest for a while and found it quite amusing. He suddenly realized a problem – he had come into contact with too many masters on a regular basis, and naturally felt that he couldn’t beat anyone, but after watching so many matches, he suddenly felt as if he really wasn’t that bad, and that a lot of people’s performances were obviously still not as good as his own. ……

To be honest, this Spirit State Match, all the significance is outside the plate, as long as the smooth convening, smooth end, that is a great victory. For the match victory or defeat itself, Xue Mu does not attach importance to, anyway, the match subtleties he can not understand, just watch a lively. As for digging out good seedlings or targeting a new force through this competition, this was something that Xue Qingqiu Shadowwing and these people should consider.

In other words, his mission had been accomplished. At this moment being idle, it seems like he can do something else, such as …… flirting with the uninvited county governor beside him?
