Uncle Sun was about to drag Uncle Hai to a secluded place, but upon hearing Shangguan Qingkong's disrespectful words, a trace of embarrassment could not help but slip across his old face...
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I saw his sleeves were a little dirty, so I helped him brush off the dirt... Where do you think I would take him?" Sun Bo explained dryly. Afraid that everyone would not believe him, he reached out and brushed Jun Zichen's sleeve.
An Yu laughed a few times, looked at Sun Bo and said nonchalantly, "I'm glad you didn't plan to take Uncle Hai anywhere. As for me, ever since I entered the Tianqi Mountains, I can't leave Uncle Hai. I hope Sun Bo will forgive me!"
Sun Bo smiled awkwardly and said nothing more. The two groups had no common ground and lost interest in greeting each other. They stood aside, staring into the distance in silence, waiting for the arrival of people from the Nangong family and the Baili family!
After waiting for a while, I saw two groups of people from the Baili family and the Nangong family walking towards me, one after another.
As expected, the Baili family is led by the brother and sister Baili Mingzhe and Baili Yin. Both of them are favored by heaven, and they treat the guards in a respectable manner no matter what, so their group has ten people, and they look happy and harmonious!
The team led by the Nangong family was a person An Ran didn't know at all. He was also accompanied by an old man, who seemed to be the personal butler of the old man of the Nangong family!
Noticing An Ran's puzzled look, Su Fanjun quietly reminded her in her ear: "This is Nangong Liancheng and Uncle Qian, the Nangong family's steward."
After the four groups exchanged greetings, they officially began to plan what they wanted to do. The atmosphere became a little solemn, but in this solemnity, An Ran and the other five people felt a little relieved. At least their first disguise was successful!
Baili Mingzhe spoke first, "Everyone, according to our previous agreement, when we arrive at our destination, the person with the most remaining members of the team will become the leader of this event."
Having said that, he looked around, paused, and continued: "According to the current situation, there are only five people in the Shangguan family, eight people in the Murong family, only six people in the Nangong family, and all ten people in my Baili family are here. No one has fallen behind or died.
According to the previous agreement, this event should be led by our Baili family. What do you think? "
Baili Mingzhe spoke very gently, but the determination in his tone could not be ignored. The leaders of the Murong family and the Nangong family could not help but frown!
This is not about who takes the lead in this event. What is more important is that the leader has great priority in this event!
It can be said that whoever gains the dominant position in this activity will gain the greatest benefits for himself and the family he represents in this treasure hunt!
Of course, the other families were unwilling to give up their leadership this time. If they had been willing to give up their leadership at the time, there wouldn't have been this so-called bet...
However, at that time everyone thought that they would win the bet. Now seeing the current result, the leaders of the Murong family and the Nangong family always have some doubts in their hearts!
Seeing that the heads of the other two families did not immediately agree to act according to the previous bet, An Ran and the others were secretly delighted. They did not expect that God would give them such a huge crack at the very beginning. An Ran felt that if they did not seize this opportunity, they could simply withdraw from the competition!
The five of them looked at each other silently, understanding each other's thoughts from each other's eyes. An Yu was the first to speak: "Brother Baili, this is not the way to calculate it. At the very least, you should also calculate who encountered the most magical beasts along the way, right?
Our Shangguan family has gone through so many hardships along the way. Who knows how you managed to get through this? Besides, you were the ones who first proposed this bet. Who knows if you have any special methods to avoid being harmed by those monsters?
Shangguan Qingkong has always been a straightforward and fearless little devil in the imperial capital. No one bothers to argue with him, but what he said this time was unanimously recognized by the heads of the other two families!
After Shangguan Qingkong finished speaking, Murong Jin also hurriedly followed, looking at Baili Mingzhe and said calmly: "Yes, I completely agree with what Shangguan said. Our Murong family has also experienced many hardships along the way. We almost killed a monster with every step we took. It was very difficult to get here!
If we really fulfill our obligations according to the previous bet, then we and the Shangguan family will suffer greatly!"
Nangong Liancheng was not to be outdone and said in a very resolute tone: "Speaking of the journey, my Nangong family can be said to have fought a bloody way out among the monsters! You can't count it that way, Brother Baili!"
Seeing that the plan they had set up before could not be carried out, a trace of anger flashed across the faces of Baili Mingzhe and Baili Yin. They had clearly agreed on this before, but they didn't expect that they would be so shameless and dared to openly violate their previous bet!
Baili Yin was a girl after all, and her mind was as delicate as dust. She looked at the people from the other three families, half-curtly bowed, and then said gently but very sharply:
"This was our previous bet, and it was all agreed upon by everyone. Now, the number of people left behind by each family is different. This shows that the leader's understanding of the strength of his members, as well as his ability to coordinate and plan strategies before danger strikes, is insufficient!
All ten members of my Baili family stayed, which at least shows that my Baili family's ability to employ people is a little better than yours. I wonder if you all agree with this?"
Hearing Baili Yin speaking so sharply, An Ran widened her eyes in shock. This was completely different from the Baili Yin that Su Fanjiao had described to her before!
Where's the promise of being dignified, quiet, and approachable? Where's the promise of having a harmonious relationship with everyone in the capital?
Baili Yin's attitude towards speaking was such that she was able to avoid offending a large number of people and instead maintain a very friendly relationship with them. This made An Ran unable to help but think deeply about Baili Yin...
Was Baili Yin always like this? Or was there something that gave her the support she needed to be able to show her true self to this group of people without any worries about being exposed...
"Miss Baili, that's not how you say it, and that's not how you settle accounts!" Nangong Liancheng looked at Baili Yin unhappily and spoke directly.
