The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 341: The tangled web and the uninvited guest

The standards of Qingyou Yayuan are extremely high. Those who can eat and drink in this Qingyou Yayuan are naturally not ordinary people. They are all rich or noble.

Correspondingly, the content of exchanges and discussions in this Qingya Building is of a relatively high level.

It was either that someone's family had another top expert come to town, or that a caravan had arrived in the important town. In addition, during their conversations, they also expressed their curiosity about some of the items in this auction.

The Beicang Auction has extremely high standards. In addition to the heavyweight items, the ordinary items are also extremely good and rarely seen on ordinary days.

Not everyone is aiming for the blockbuster items. Most people are actually looking for the ordinary items in the process. The last blockbuster item is just for viewing and fun to see who will win in the end!
"What do you think the last big auction item will be?"

"It's hard to say! But the value is definitely not low!"

"Nonsense! The sixth lot is the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus! The value of this last lot is probably even more terrifying!"

"So what do you think it will be?"

"If you want me to tell you."

"."

In addition to speculation about the last auction item, guests from several tables also talked about several major events that had occurred in the important town of Beicang in recent days.

"The Xiao family is so unlucky! Who would have thought that someone would die before the auction even started? This has a huge impact, and their future situation may be worrying!"

"Who said it wasn't true? The Xiao family had originally announced in a high-profile manner that they wanted to compete for a few high-quality items, but they never expected something like this to happen. Their prestige has dropped drastically this time, and if they really bid, the contenders will not give the Xiao family face!"

"Haha, we can only say that they are unlucky!"

"Bad luck!? Maybe it's because your family tradition is not right and you behave improperly!"

"What do you mean? Is there some inside story? Tell me now!"

"Of course, just listen to me and let me talk about this Xiao family."

In addition to the Xiao family's affairs, some people also talked about the newly rising Tianjiao Lan Yingjun. He defeated the Lin family's Tianjiao with one move, showing his supreme talent!

"This Lan Yingjun is truly a genius in this world. With just one palm strike, he caused the Lin family's Xuanguang realm genius to be seriously injured and retreat! Such talent is jaw-dropping!"

"Yes! At first, I thought he was just some grandstanding person who came out of nowhere and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous! I never thought that I was blind!"

"Who says it's not true? It's hard to find geniuses. Those who are there are basically those we are familiar with. Those who have the potential to be geniuses have also been publicized early on. How could they be hidden until now? It's normal to have doubts before!"

"Yes! But now that I think about it carefully, Lan Yingying, the master of the Five Poisons and Earthly Fiends, was a ruthless character back then. Anyone who could be accepted as a disciple by her is indeed not an ordinary person!"

"Well, speaking of which, are those things you said by Lan Ying-jun true or false?!"

"How could this be false? If he was just trying to attract attention, his previous words would indeed be questionable. But the facts prove that Lan Yingjun is not like that! I'm afraid he was serious about what he said before!"

"Become a slave? A generous dowry? If I were a few years younger, I would definitely go over to join in the fun and give it a try! What a pity! Time is merciless!"

"You!? Forget about it! You are already quite old and have just entered the Xuan Guang stage. Not to mention when you were young, you can't beat him even now!"

"You, you, you! You agreed not to expose my shortcomings in front of me!"

"Hahaha, aren't we close friends? Come to think of it, I'm actually looking forward to someone defeating Lan Yingjun! Not to mention the woman being a slave, but if it's a man, how generous dowry do you think she mentioned would be?"

"Lan Yingying has been famous for many years, and now she has even achieved the status of a pseudo-grandmaster. Her wealth and background are definitely not bad. Lan Yingjun is the only successor of Lan Yingying. If she gets married, how could Lan Yingying not express her gratitude? Moreover, since a disciple of a grandmaster can use the word "rich", the dowry must be quite large! It may even be more than the wealth accumulated by some small families over the years! However...
With the fighting power that Lan Yingjun has shown so far, looking at the entire Canglong Province, there are probably only a few people who can defeat her!"

"That's true. However, at Lan Yingjun's level, if someone can really defeat her, the woman will not really let her be a slave. The man is also a strong combination, a perfect match!"

"Yes! The strong will always be strong. And you see, she has added a condition of being convinced wholeheartedly, leaving so much room for maneuver. It will be up to her to decide whether to be convinced or not. If things go wrong, the husband may have been chosen long ago. It's just a gimmick to promote it and warm up the atmosphere!"

"Now that you mention it, it's possible! It's complicated, complicated, too complicated!"

"Don't pretend to be a little white rabbit. You have been around for half your life, and I don't believe you haven't thought about this!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

While talking about Lan Yingjun, some people also talked about Xue Kunsheng, the King Kong Demon Subduing Chain, and talked about Xue Kunsheng's power in suppressing the top masters of the evil extreme way. There were many flattering words about Xue Kunsheng. Xue Kunsheng's strength was indeed tyrannical. He defeated the existence that three top masters could not defeat with just a dozen moves. This was welcomed by many people.

During the conversation, someone mentioned that with Xue Kunsheng guarding the important town of Beicang, it should be safe and secure. Unlike before, when this was said, few people responded. Obviously, many people had other ideas in mind.

"What? Do you think that even with the Diamond Demon Subduing Chain, you still can't control the situation in Northern Cang!"

"Of course! Haven't you seen the masters who have come to Northern Cang recently? I won't say much about the top masters. Even the masters on the Dragon and Tiger List, Shadowless Blade Zong, and Fu Long Dao Tan Tai Jin Feng, are enough to give Lord Xue a hard time! Not to mention the Five Poisons and Earthly Evil Palm Lan Yingying I just mentioned! This is still on the surface, who knows what masters are sneaking in secretly! This situation is really not as simple as you think! Lord Xue can't control it!"

"This"

This person's words are the consensus of most people. As long as you have reached a certain level, you can basically understand the current situation!

The reason why the important town of Beicang is not in chaos is because of the Beicang Pacification Office, because the various forces in the important town of Beicang do not want to cause chaos in the important town of Beicang! It is not because of Xue Kunsheng!

Xue Kunsheng is indeed the deputy governor of the important town of Beicang. But he cannot represent the Beicang Town Pacification Division, let alone the various families in the important town. When the interests of the various families are consistent, as a person who is elected to decorate the facade, his words are useful.

But when the fundamental interests of each family conflict, then he
It really can’t control this huge and important town of Beicang!
During the conversation, Chen Pingan discovered that the prestige of Xue Kunsheng, the King Kong Demon Subduing Chain, was far less than he had imagined. Although they called him "Sir", there was not much respect in their words. Although Xue Kunsheng himself was not here, it was just a casual chat after drinking, but the details showed that although Xue Kunsheng was the deputy governor of Beicang and the nominal leader, his real status was far from that position!
Of course, this comparison is only relative. For an independent individual or an ordinary force, Xue Kunsheng's existence is enough for them to look up to him.

But the problem is that Xue Kunsheng's position determines that he represents far more than himself. His every word and action needs to consider the general trend and the interests. In the face of such a large group of interests, Xue Kunsheng really can't make arbitrary decisions.

"Interests are entangled, intertwined, the major forces are competing, and the people below have different thoughts. This position of guarding is not easy to do!" Chen Pingan put himself in Xue Kunsheng's perspective, put himself in his shoes, and couldn't help but sigh. The business route has been running for some time, but the position of guarding Beicang has been vacant until now, and there are all kinds of games behind it. From the perspective of interests, no one wants to see a strong person who can make the final decision appear in the important town of Beicang!

Unless this powerful person is one of your own family members! But the problem is that if you are happy, others will not be happy.

After so much back and forth, no suitable candidate was decided.

The people who were qualified to sit in this position were at least pseudo-grandmasters of Lan Yingying's level. The rest were not true grandmasters, but experts who were ranked at the top of the Dragon and Tiger Rankings with combat power close to that of grandmasters!
Several people were talking about the Vajra Demon Subduing Chain, and the topic gradually spread to the masters of the Evil Extreme Dao. Then from the masters of the Evil Extreme Dao, the topic mentioned the masters of the Shenglong Dao.

Xiejidao and Shenglongdao are both well-known evil sects in the state. The former is more powerful than the Wanmo Sect, while the latter is on par with the Wanmo Sect.

Of course, no matter which one, their power is far inferior to that of the Tianluo Sect!
The Tianluo Sect is the most powerful force in the entire Daqian Dynasty!

"Ah, the world is really not peaceful these days!"

They talked about the situation in Beicang, the chaos in the Xieji Sect, the Shenglong Sect, and the Wanmo Sect, and some people couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes! It's really not peaceful! I've seen more and more chaos like this in recent days! Didn't a big thing happen not long ago?"

"Oh? What's the big deal?"

"The Silver Gong Envoy of the Qiankun Division, Cao Yingxiong, is dead!"

"What!? Is this true?!"

"You haven't heard of it!?"

"No! Is your news true or false? Don't tell me it's just gossip! Cao Yingxiong is suspected to be ranked among the Dragon and Tiger. With such fighting power, how could he die so easily?"

"The news has spread everywhere, how can it be false?"

"."

Chen Pingan listened carefully to the story of Cao Yingxiong's death. The two exchanged a heated conversation. One of them said that the news of Cao Yingxiong's death had already spread all over the place, so how could it be fake? The other one refused to believe it and said bluntly that with Cao Yingxiong's strength, how could he die so easily? Even if he was defeated, he would never die!

The two of them were glaring at each other and getting more and more anxious as they talked!
Later, someone from another table stood up and said that he had also heard the news that Cao Yingxiong, the Silver Gong of Qiankun Division, was indeed dead! Before that, the man was still skeptical about it and said, "Could it be that the Grandmaster took action? Otherwise, with Cao Yingxiong's strength, how could he die so easily?"
The topic discussed by several people also aroused the interest of people from several tables around, and they joined in the discussion. During the process, someone mentioned that he had a good friend who he had known for many years and was familiar with the people from Qiankun Division, and he got a lot of accurate information from him.

When Cao Yingxiong died, a senior executive of the Qiankun Division who was accompanying him escaped by chance and revealed many details. The person who attacked him had not achieved the level of a Grandmaster, but his combat power was so strong that he was probably not far behind a Grandmaster!

Such a detailed description naturally shocked everyone.

"Let me tell you, that man was like a demon descending from the sky. As soon as he appeared, he suppressed Cao Yingxiong. During the process, he easily killed a Xuan Guang. That kind of power is really terrifying!"

"That man had a strong physique, a broad back, a fierce look, and eyes like copper bells. When he moved, the image of a Vajra emerged, like a furious Vajra! When he raised his hand, there was a terrifying force!"

"."

As a party involved in the incident, Chen Pingan drank a glass of wine with a calm expression.

As expected, rumors cannot be trusted. What they said was getting more and more exaggerated! They almost said that he had three heads and six arms.

Chen Pingan put down his wine glass and found that Yuan Zutong across from him was listening intently. He did not interrupt and ate his food quietly.

After talking about the chaos, the people around them sighed again and again, wondering when this would end.

"It's better to be a commoner! You don't know much, just live your life peacefully. There's no need to worry about so many things!"

"Yes! The more I know, the more troubled I am!"

"."

Chen Pingan raised his glass and drank it all.

Everyone thinks that life is easy for the common people, that they know little, that the burden they carry is not heavy, and that they should be able to live a happy life. But how could they know that for the vast majority of ordinary people, just being alive is already the best they can do!

How difficult it is to live a peaceful life!
Everyone has their own troubles and pressures, their own worries and pains.
But there is never the word easy!

There was a lot of discussion around him, and Chen Pingan drank and ate. He soon finished the dishes in front of him, and just when he was about to get up and leave, the whole floor of the restaurant suddenly became quiet.

Ding bell~ding bell~
Amid the sound of a series of clear silver bells, a girl with fair skin and bright eyes appeared at the staircase. Following closely behind the girl was an old woman. The old woman was wearing simple gray clothes, her hair was gray, and her face was covered with traces of time, but her eyes were unusually bright.

On the third floor of Qingya Building, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and almost everyone's eyes were on the two people who suddenly appeared.

Lan Yingjun! And
Five Poisonous Palm, Lan Yingying!
How did they get here?

Is it possible?
Everyone was guessing secretly.

There were a few people who had talked about Lan Yingjun before, and their expressions were quite rich. One of them had a flashing look in his eyes, signaling the person who had said before that he would definitely challenge if he was a few years younger, to quickly get up and challenge. Now that he was here, the opportunity was just right.

The other person, how could he really stand up? Some things can be said with a flourish. When the time comes, how can he really stand up! ?

Ding bell~ding bell~
The girl was wearing a light blue dress with a small sachet hanging around her waist. She looked around and her eyes finally fell on Chen Pingan who was sitting by the window.

"Found it!"
