Chapter 237 Another Envoy
Zhong Ling'er covered her forehead with her hands and dared not to provoke the second senior brother again. The eldest senior brother would express his dissatisfaction on the spot, but the second senior brother was black-bellied and vengeful, and not gentle at all.
"Second Brother, you are also a formation master. I will draw the formation diagram and you can set it up. I am still a child. Do you have the heart to enslave me like this?"
Bai Luochen smiled even more. "I dare not enslave my junior sister. I just found something for you to do because you are bored. Otherwise, if you show up at the auction, Pavilion Master Xuanyuan will have a hard time doing business."
Zhong Ling'er sighed, she just wanted to join in the fun at the auction. The auction spots for the five long-distance teleportation arrays had already been scrambled for by all the sects and families. Zhong Ling'er had no worries about making spirit stones, so she thought about doing something small and creating some trouble, but was stopped by Bai Luochen.
There is no teleportation array in Zhongzhou, and with the financial resources of Zhongzhou Tianji Pavilion and several major families, they are bound to grab a spot. However, Zhong Ling'er wants Zhongzhou to get no spot, so she finds Pavilion Master Xuanyuan and wants to cheat, but puts Pavilion Master Xuanyuan in a very difficult position.
So Bai Luochen had to hinder Zhong Ling'er's hands and feet, which allowed the auction to proceed smoothly, but the result of the auction was not satisfactory.
When Pavilion Master Xuanyuan found Zhong Ling'er with a bitter face, Bai Luochen and Ouyang Ruochen happened to be there. When they heard the list of names taken, they looked at each other and fell into silence.
The five places were finally awarded to Tianji Pavilion, Zhongzhou Ouyang Family, Zhongzhou Gu Family, Zhongzhou Li Family, and Xizhou Zhu Family, with Zhongzhou alone taking four of them.
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan handed the storage ring to Zhong Ling'er and said with a guilty look on his face: "Friend Zhong, I didn't listen to you and didn't do the job well!"
Zhong Ling'er's consciousness swept over the storage ring and she immediately smiled, "Master Xuanyuan, what are you talking about? You've worked hard, and I should be the one saying thank you."
Four billion! Who could have thought that she would achieve her small goal so quickly? In just two or three months, she got four billion twice. Who knows the feeling of losing and regaining?
"This... several other states have complaints, thinking it's unfair, and some people also say that you love money too much."
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan was very embarrassed. He had refused Zhong Ling'er's suggestion to control the number of places each state received, as he thought it would be difficult to implement and he did not want to fake it. However, this made many people dissatisfied with Zhong Ling'er, and he thought it was inconsiderate.
Zhong Linger waved her hand, "It doesn't matter. For Zhongzhou, four formations are much better than one. Tianji Pavilion can't suppress other families. Let's wait and see what happens."
The Master of Xuanyuan Pavilion could naturally see the ins and outs of this, and from what Zhong Ling'er said, she would definitely not let Tianji Pavilion have an easy time, and this would only benefit the Xuanyuan family and not cause any harm, so he really just wanted to watch the fun.
Bai Luochen touched his nose and felt a little regretful. Since the master didn't care about what the junior sister did, shouldn't he stop her? After all, the junior sister always did things in an orderly manner.
Just then someone came to see Pavilion Master Xuanyuan and said that the Dragon Clan had sent more people. Zhong Ling'er was very curious, so she followed Pavilion Master Xuanyuan to the temporary meeting room.
After seeing the Dragon Prime Minister, Zhong Linger intuitively agreed with the saying that film and television works are based on real life. She used to wonder why the creatures who gave advice to the Dragon King were all thousand-year-old turtles. Now she knows that this is the fact.
She dared to bet on her third senior brother's beauty that the prime minister must be a big turtle. She was very curious about the Dragon Palace now, wondering if it was as magnificent as in movies and TV dramas, with a large coral every few steps and fist-sized luminous pearls for lighting. As for pearls, agates and other treasures, they were everywhere and she could pick up a handful at a time.
Zhong Ling'er, who had already set earning another 6 billion to become a billionaire as her next small goal, looked at Prime Minister Turtle with such eagerness that the arrogant Prime Minister Turtle could not help but shrink his neck.
"You are not the patriarch of the Xuanyuan family. Can you be the lord of Nanzhou? Why don't you let your brother take over?"
Zhong Ling'er was frightened back to her senses by these words. This old turtle is so bold. The status of Pavilion Master Xuanyuan in the Xuanyuan family is not much weaker than that of the patriarch. Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death for talking like this?
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan did not even glance at Prime Minister Gui, but looked at Immortal Wuchen, "Master Wuchen, what are you going to discuss today? If it is about the Five States Competition, then there is no need. Nanzhou will not participate."
"What are you talking about? You said you don't want to participate, so you don't want to participate. Have you asked the Nanzhou cultivators what they think? This is related to the inheritance of immortals. This is a great opportunity. You made them lose the qualification to get it with just one sentence. This is simply selfish."
"I told you that Nanzhou will not participate, but I won't stop them if they want to go. How can you say that you are selfish? But who are you? It's not your turn to say anything about our human race's affairs."
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan's voice was indifferent, and everyone knew that he was very unhappy with this Turtle Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Turtle snorted, took out the jade order and said, "I am an envoy sent by the Dragon King to urge the states to hold the Five States Competition to compete for the inheritance of the immortals. I am the prime minister under the Dragon King."
Zhong Linger looked at the gloomy faces of the others and immediately realized that this Prime Minister Turtle was too arrogant and had angered everyone, so she rolled her eyes and jumped out and said angrily: "Supervise? My human race and dragon race coexist peacefully, but we are not your subordinates. When did we ever need you to supervise us? As for the big competition, we don't want it anymore, and we don't want the damn inheritance either. Don't you understand?"
Prime Minister Turtle was so angry that he pointed at Zhong Ling'er and said, "You...what did you say? That is the inheritance of the immortals. We, the Dragon Clan, are willing to give the inheritance to you. Is this how you treat us? The human race is simply ungrateful!"
Zhong Ling'er raised her eyebrows. This guy is quite good at moral blackmail, so don't blame her for being immoral.
"Please think before you speak. You wanted to pass on the inheritance to us, but we refused. Therefore, there is no favor between our two tribes, nor is there any question of being ungrateful."
After saying that, Zhong Linger turned to the others and said, "Master, all the heads and clan masters, you see, we haven't even received the inheritance yet, but the Dragon Clan is already asking us to thank them for their kindness. If we really get the inheritance, we don't know what price the Dragon Clan will make us pay. So, is it necessary for us to accept such a great favor from the Dragon Clan and be involved in such a big cause and effect just for an inheritance we don't know what kind of thing it is?"
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan immediately said, "Ling'er is right. My Xuanyuan family has been passed down for ten thousand years, and our ancestors have left us many legacies. There is really no need to get involved in the cause and effect of the dragon clan. Besides, there are too many things going on recently, and I am really too busy. I, Nanzhou, have decided not to get involved in this matter."
The rest of the people also expressed their opinions. They also realized that the Dragon Clan was eager for them to hold the Five States Competition, and there must be something behind this.
Sweat broke out on Prime Minister Turtle's forehead. He had been talking for more than half an hour, but these people were not interested at all. Now they had made up their minds not to participate. It seemed like he had messed up something.
