399The pretty boy surnamed
Bai399In
addition to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, there are five other people living with them in the data, one of whom is Feng Ming's biological father, so this is a big family.
The group of seven came from the desert one after another. Before entering Linsang City, there was no trace of them staying in other places, so these seven people are really new here.
Many clues have proved that these seven people are not native cultivators of Cangxuan Continent, and it is more likely that they are from the lower world.
Hai Zhaoling asked curiously: "Is there a cross-boundary transmission array in the desert?" There is a
cross-boundary transmission array in Cangxuan Continent. How could Hai Zhaoling, as a member of the Hai family, not know about it, and there is more than one.
Among them, the cross-boundary transmission array connected to other medium-sized worlds is located on an island in Canghai Realm.
In addition, there are several teleportation arrays connected to the lower worlds. Hai Zhaoling is not sure how many there are.
But there is indeed one in Cangnan Territory. Hai Zhaoling once visited it out of curiosity and met a cultivator who came from the lower world through that teleportation array.
The subordinate beside him shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it. Maybe there is, but because the connection with the lower world has been cut off for a long time, and the terrain has changed, the transmission array has been covered up for a long time. After all, the desert area today was not a desert many years ago."
Hai Zhaoling also felt that it made sense: "It seems that they are indeed a few guys who have had great luck in the lower world. The cultivators from the lower world are not all cautious and careful, for fear of offending the cultivators from the upper world."
Just looking at the two children who were racing with them and dared to angrily confront him in Cangyue Tower, Hai Zhaoling did not see any trace of caution in the two children.
Even the pretty boy beside him, don't think he didn't see it, he also had a look of indulgence.
Hai Zhaoling complained, "You said he's not a pretty boy, but now he's surnamed Bai. Let's go and meet them."
Hai Zhaoling waved his hand and took his men out to find Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.
The men were helpless. If they had known that they would come to Linsang City, they would not have followed their young master to laugh at others.
But this was the first time they had encountered someone who dared to act like this. Judging from the formation they set out in, other cultivators would have given way to him.
Don't think that their young master looked like he was going to settle a score with someone. In fact, no one could tell that the young master had found something that interested him and was a little impatient, or else he thought Linsang City was a little boring.
The young master was about to get married, but he didn't become calmer.
Fortunately, when Hai Zhaoling was about to rush out, he remembered to ask someone to pass on a message: "Tell Junior Sister Jiang that I will be back soon. Bring her a gift when I come back. You must also remember to remind me."
As soon as Hai Zhaoling rushed to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he bumped into Yu Huatian who came to ask to see him. He was about to ask someone to pass on a message.
Yu Huatian looked confident that Master Hai would definitely meet him after knowing his identity.
There are many cultivators who want to see Master Hai recently. After all, he is the only son of the Lord of Bihai City and the young Lord of the city. Which family in Linsang City does not want to climb this big tree?
Unfortunately, after meeting them twice, Hai Zhaoling was not happy to see them anymore, because they kept talking about the same things.
He had experienced too much in Bihai City, it was extremely boring, he might as well find some fun to kill time.
Hearing Yu Huatian saying that he was the nephew of Master Yu Fu and asked to see the Young Lord of Hai City, Hai Zhaoling quickly took his people away and did not show up in front of Yu Huatian.
Because just yesterday in Cangyue Tower, he heard Feng Ming complain about the tyranny of this Master Yu, who did not allow the shops in the city to sell sixth-grade spiritual herbs.
"Master Yu is not a good person, and his nephew must not be a good person either. If he wants to see me, do I have to see him? Let's go out from the side door and let him miss out."
Hai Zhaoling was accompanied by someone sent by his father. This person knew even more about the situation and reminded his young master so that he would not be fooled by Master Yu and his grandson:
"Young Master, you don't know that City Lord Jiang has invested a lot of resources in Master Yu in the past, and tried his best to help him improve his alchemy skills. But after he became a sixth-rank alchemy master, he turned around and hooked up with other cities.
If it weren't for the marriage between City Lord Jiang and our Bihai City this time, City Lord Jiang's position as City Lord would not be preserved, and even his life would be in danger. By then, Miss Jiang would probably fall into the hands of their grandson."
Hai Zhaoling was furious when he heard this: "How could they be so shameless? Too shameless, then I will never meet them, no, I should go over and scold them severely."
"Young Master," the cultivator beside him hurriedly held him back, "Young Master, even if you are willing to scold him, that would be giving them face. The best thing to do is to ignore them and let them worry. The life of this pair of grandparents will not be as good as before."
"What do you mean?"
The cultivator beside him explained the current situation of the Yu family's grandparents. With the intervention of Bihai City, even if they said nothing, as long as they put out the marriage proposal, it would be enough to make the other city lords who colluded with Yu Fu turn around and abandon him. The strength of those city lords is comparable to that of the Lord of Hai City in Bihai City.
And it is impossible for this Lord Jiang to satisfy Yu Fu in every way and praise him highly.
Even the domineering style of this pair of grandparents in Linsang City is estimated to not last long.
Lord Jiang will definitely find a way to solve the problem, otherwise his position as Lord of the city will be in vain, and he will have been sidelined.
After this explanation, Hai Zhaoling gave up the idea of scolding Yu Huatian, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, my future father-in-law will definitely not tolerate these scoundrels. Really, he is only a sixth-rank official, but he puts on such a big air. I thought Yu was a seventh-rank official. In our Bihai City, even a seventh-rank alchemy master has never done such an outrageous thing."
The people around him laughed, because Bihai City is a wealthy city. Not to mention that there is no shortage of sixth-rank alchemy masters, there are more than one seventh-rank alchemy master. Who would do such a thing that would offend all the forces?
So Hai Zhaoling led his men out of the side door of the City Lord's Mansion. At the main gate, the guard went in to report for Yu Huatian.
Yu Huatian waited patiently outside, feeling a little proud. He was about to establish a relationship with Bi Hai City.
As long as Master Hai trusted him wholeheartedly, he could go to Bi Hai City to enjoy himself in the future.
Linsang City was no match for Bi Hai City.
Just when Yu Huatian was feeling complacent, the guard came over and reported, "Unfortunately, Master Hai just went out. Pharmacist Yu Lian, why don't you come back another day?"
Yu Huatian was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that Master Hai didn't go out?"
The guard was embarrassed: "Young Master Hai never left through the main gate, maybe he left through other gates, Pharmacist Yu Lian, I'm really sorry."
Yu Huatian was angry, but he had to say: "Then I'll come again tomorrow."
"Okay, if we see Young Master Hai coming back, we'll tell him." They couldn't afford to offend this master, after all, he was the younger blood relative of Master Yu.
Yu Huatian waved his hand and left.
On the other side, Hai Zhaoling found the residence of Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo according to the address on the file and knocked on the gate.
Because of the reunion with his son, Feng Jinlin didn't rush out hunting and opened the door for Hai Zhaoling.
Otherwise, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo would have gone to seclusion, and Hai Zhaoling wouldn't even be able to knock on the door.
Feng Jinlin was also very surprised to see the newcomer, thinking to himself, would this Young Master Hai not let Ming'er go?
But his face was very calm: "It turns out to be Young Master Hai. I wonder why
Young Master Hai is here." "Where are Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo? This Young Master is here to find them."
He really was unwilling to let Ming'er go. Feng Jinlin said: "Ming'er went into seclusion when she came back yesterday. It will take a few days for her to come out. The same goes for Qiaomo. I will tell them when they come out."
Hai Zhaoling was depressed when he heard this: "How unfortunate that they are both in seclusion together? Didn't they just come to Linsang City?"
Feng Jinlin was quite proud of this: "Ming'er and Qiaomo have always been diligent in their cultivation," and flattered Young Master Hai again, "They are different from Young Master Hai. , Young Master Hai has a big family and great wealth, but Ming'er and the others have to rely on their own efforts. As a father, I am far inferior to the Lord of Hai City. "
Hai Zhaoling was very proud when he heard this, and raised his chin and said, "Of course, my father is the Lord of Bihai City. You should learn from my father, but your cultivation is too poor. There is no way to catch up with my father. The two of them can only rely on themselves."
Feng Jinlin vomited blood. Does this young master know how to speak? What he said just now was to praise the other party, but the other party followed his words.
It's okay to belittle yourself, but it's really not a pleasant experience to listen to others belittle yourself.
Feng Jinlin could see that this young master was a little too high-profile, but he was not the arrogant and domineering type he imagined. It was obvious that the Lord of Hai City was very doting and tolerant of this son, and protected him to a certain degree of innocence.
At the same time, Feng Jinlin was relieved. It seemed that this young master of Hai was not determined to pursue Ming'er to settle the score.
Feng Jinlin nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, how dare I compare with the Lord of Hai City, there are not many people who can achieve the Lord of Hai City, Young Master Hai has a good father."
Hai Zhaoling was even more proud, his father was of course the best father, he was happy to be praised by Feng Jinlin, and his heart was no longer depressed: "Don't be too envious, then I will come again in a few days, you tell them, let them wait, and see the real speed of my Young Master Hai."
"Okay, I will." Feng Jinlin felt that the speeding thing could not be passed.
Hai Zhaoling waved and said goodbye to Feng Jinlin. Although he didn't find anyone, he was in a good mood.
Without the reminder of his subordinates, he also remembered to bring gifts back to Junior Sister Jiang, so he went to Cangyue Tower excitedly again.
The subordinates who followed him were very helpless. It was so easy for Feng Jinlin to make their young master happy.
And this father was not a simple man, otherwise how could he raise two sons with the temperament of Feng Ming.
Feng Jinlin was not very old, but his two sons and son-in-law were even better in cultivation than him, which showed that they were indeed very talented. It was unknown what the future would be like for these two people from the lower world.
The future of cultivators from the lower world was at two extremes. Either they lay dormant in the early stage, then emerged and ascended all the way, and finally went to the big world.
Or they were beaten and became cautious and timid, and finally became the most mediocre member.
It was unknown what direction the Feng family would go in the end.
For several days in a row, Yu Huatian went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for an audience with Hai Zhaoling, but he was not able to see him in person. He either said he was out playing or was with Miss Jiang. How could he, an outsider, disturb the relationship between an engaged couple?
Yu Huatian was extremely depressed. At first, he thought it was a coincidence and that he had bad luck.
Because he was a person with a good self-image, with his uncle around, his life in Linsang City should not be too good. It was not necessarily worse than Jiang Ruzhao, the daughter of the City Lord. He was flattered by people everywhere.
However, he became irritable as he was met with nothing day after day. He realized that it was not just because of bad luck, but that the young master Hai was too lazy to see him. In the end, he was even too lazy to find an excuse, and it was all perfunctory by the subordinates.
Damn it, someone is praising him, and with his father around, Hai Zhaoling is the young city lord of Bihai City. Otherwise, with his own ability, how can he compare with Yu Huatian?
He is now a fifth-grade alchemist, and it is not a problem to become a sixth-grade or even seventh-grade master in the future. What can Hai Zhaoling use to compare with him?
Yu Huatian even cursed Hai Zhaoling's backer, the Hai City Lord, to have a bad end. When the backer falls, Hai Zhaoling will become a small person who is trampled on at will.
Yu Huatian was frustrated, and Yu Fu was also in a very bad mood, because he went to the City Lord's Mansion to extract cultivation resources recently, but there were many excuses there. After he got in touch with the relationship in Bihai City, his treatment immediately declined.
Not only the City Lord's Mansion, but also the merchants outside had changed their attitude towards him. It was impossible for him to get a batch of materials at a lower price.
He also heard that Cangyue Tower had sold a lot of sixth-grade spiritual herbs to an outside pharmacist. But
when it came to him, many people made excuses, saying that the spiritual herbs were in short supply and needed to be transported from outside, and that they could not meet his needs.
Seeing Yu Huatian coming back, Yu Fu asked, "Didn't you see that Young Master Hai again?"
Yu Huatian immediately complained, "Uncle, that Hai guy doesn't take us seriously at all. I think he just doesn't want to see me, so he made up an excuse to fool me. Even for the City Lord's Mansion, I used to say I could go in, but now he insists that someone go in first to report the news. I can only go in after someone sees me. It wasn't like this before."
In the past, he would not be blocked wherever he wanted to go, but now that City Lord Jiang has established connections in Bihai City, his attitude immediately changed. Yu Huatian really wanted his uncle to teach them a lesson.
Yu Fu snorted, "It's not necessarily that Young Master Hai doesn't want to see you. It could be that Jiang is blocking us. He doesn't want us to get close to Young Master Hai. He's worried that Young Master Hai will be dragged over by us, and then both father and daughter will be left with nothing."
Yu Huatian thought it made sense, "Yes, it must be the same as what my uncle said. I was wondering if such a young master would not even give my uncle face. You know, my uncle is from Baicaotang."
My great uncle is not only a sixth-grade master of alchemy, but also a disciple of Baicaotang. The latter status makes my great uncle respected by everyone when he goes out.
Yu Fu frowned. Although he was under the banner of Baicaotang, he didn't know how long he could keep his true identity a secret.
It would have been fine if there was only Lord Jiang before, but Lord Hai's status was different.
If Lord Hai wanted to find out, he might be able to find out the truth. The best way is to make his status a reality.
So he still needs to work hard on Baicaotang. Unfortunately, he no longer has the resources from Lord Jiang, so he can only work harder on other aspects.
"Huatian, you go there in person for your great uncle, that's it..."
Yu Fu asked his nephew to run errands for him. This was related to the bright future of both grandfather and grandson. Even if Yu Huatian felt tired, he had to contribute.
Therefore, after receiving the instructions from his great-uncle, Yu Huatian immediately left Linsang City.
City Lord Jiang naturally saw the actions of these two people and asked his subordinates: "Did that Master Meng say when he could come to Linsang City?"
After receiving the news from Bihai City, City Lord Jiang started looking for someone to replace Yu Fu. He couldn't afford such a traitor who wanted to kill him. What
he hated most was that this Yu dared to hit on his daughter. When he heard him bring it up, City Lord Jiang almost vomited the overnight meal in disgust.
Just because of Baicaotang behind Yu Fu, City Lord Jiang had to hold his nose and endure it for the past few years. If he offended Baicaotang, he would not be able to think about his position as city lord.
But he didn't expect Yu Fu to do something even worse.
Fortunately, the news sent by Hai Chengzhu made him feel relieved. The bastard surnamed Yu was not a real disciple of Baicaotang, not even a disciple of the outer hall.
He was exiled because he offended the people in the inner hall. The possibility of such a person with questionable character being taken back by Baicaotang in the future is very low.
Jiang Chengzhu was also very depressed when he heard the news. If he had known that there was such a person with bad character, he would not have invested so much in him.
The subordinate replied, "City Lord, that Master Meng just sent someone to deliver a message, asking us to increase the tribute to him by 30%."
City Lord Jiang had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, and said angrily, "Doesn't this Meng know that we are forming an alliance with Bihai City?"
The subordinate said helplessly, "Of course he knows. He said that he made such a request because of the alliance with Bihai City."
City Lord Jiang didn't want to indulge these pharmacists anymore. Each of them had little ability but made a lot of demands. For example, that Yu wanted this and that, and the resources spent on him were enough to train two more sixth-grade pharmacist masters. Yet when we asked him to provide sixth-grade elixirs, he had many excuses to shirk.
"Then look for one. I don't believe that we can't find a sixth-grade alchemist in Linsang City. If that doesn't work, we'll find a fifth-grade senior alchemist and train a sixth-grade alchemist ourselves."
As for the alchemists in this city, they had already been pulled over by the man surnamed Yu and stood on the same side with him. Anyway, Lord Jiang didn't want to use any of the alchemists in this city.
"Okay, Lord." The subordinates could only do as he said.
"By the way, send someone to follow the man surnamed Yu. When they are halfway..." Lord Jiang made a gesture. He couldn't do anything to the old one now, but he couldn't ask the young one for some interest in advance? "Do it cleanly and don't leave any handle, so as not to leave a bad impression on other alchemists."
"Yes, Lord."
