Although the alliance meeting has not yet started, the solemn atmosphere has filled the entire conference hall, making Lin Mo feel a little nervous.
Taking a deep breath to relieve his nervousness, Lin Mo looked at the people on the table.
Before the Lu family came, the two men and one woman from the Adventure Association closed their eyes indifferently and rested their minds. Zhang Yueshan's sinister eyes kept staring at Lin Mo, which made Lin Mo smile.
Too lazy to pay attention to him, Lin Mo looked at the people beside him.
The four families of Liu, Song, Zhao and Li greeted Lin Mo kindly. Although they didn't care about this young man in their hearts, they still gave Lin Qing behind him a little face.
Lin Mo also responded kindly, but finally set his sights on the people of the Song family.
The Song family is a very special existence in Jingshan City, because the Song family controls the food industry in Jingshan City. If the Song family closes all their shops, half of the people in Jingshan City will starve to death in a short time.
Therefore, there is a saying in Jingshan City that anyone who is an enemy of the Song family is an enemy of everyone in Jingshan City.
The Song family is also a family that has been passed down for a long time in Jingshan City. When it was strong, its strength was close to that of the Lu family. It occupied three positions in the Martial Artists League, but now the Song family is somewhat in decline, and only one martial artist is a woman.
Song Yanqing, a rather legendary woman, stood up at the time of the decline of the Song family with the attitude of a woman who would not let her eyebrows go, provoking the mainstay of the Song family, and let the Song family guard the property in their hands, even within three years. Gathered a lot of money, went to Yuntian City to buy a high-grade elixir, broke through the martial arts in one fell swoop, wiped out those who coveted the Song family's property, and even fought against Zhao Qisheng, a veteran martial artist of the Zhao family, forcing the Zhao family to make an apology Apologize.
Such a woman has just turned 30 this year, but she has left a great reputation in Jingshan City and has become the idol of most women.
Lin Mo estimated that Lu Xiyue's competition for the position of city lord was influenced by her.
As if sensing Lin Mo's gaze, Song Yanqing turned to look at him, making Lin Mo blush.
Song Yanqing, 30 years old, has the ultimate beauty of a woman at the pinnacle of youth, mature, confident, calm, charming, quiet but not arrogant, turbulent but not impetuous.Wearing a bright red robe and a tight belt, her lithe and vigorous figure is fully exposed, showing the demeanor of a mature lady Yujie to the fullest.
Compared with the coquettish Lu Xiyue and the ladylike Mo Qi, Song Yanqing's mature charm attracted Lin Mo's throbbing heart even more.
Although his heart was throbbing, Lin Mo still restrained himself, now is not the time to talk about love.
Pretending to be indifferent, Lin Mo was not afraid of Song Yanqing's gaze, and smiled casually and gently.
At this time, the surrounding seats became a little commotion, Lin Mo looked towards the source of the commotion.
Today's protagonist is finally here. Lu Tianfeng leads the Lu family. The four major martial artists of the Lu family come out together, followed by young talents. Such a lineup makes all the families in Jingshan City eclipsed. Mo also had to admit that the difference between the Lin family and the Lu family was not 01:30.
This gap is not a gap at the martial artist level, but a gap in background and potential.
The Lu family has been passed down for hundreds of years, with thousands of family members, while the Lin family has only risen for a few decades, and there are only a dozen or so people, so there is no comparison at all.
As the Lu family members took their seats, the Martial Artists League officially began. The meeting hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Lu Tianfeng, who sat on the main seat with a stern expression.
"In the name of the Lord of Jingshan City, I announce the official start of the Martial Arts League. Please stand up and pay tribute to the ancestors who have devoted their efforts to Jingshan City!" Lu Tianfeng's serious voice echoed in the entire conference hall.
Everyone stood up in unison, their eyes shifted to the huge white jade wall behind Lu Tianfeng, and they clenched their right fists in front of their chests with serious expressions.
There is a personal name engraved on the white jade stone wall, the top one has become blurred, obviously it has been eroded by a long time.
It records the successive city lords of Jingshan City, as well as the practitioners who have made great contributions to Jingshan City. Each name has left a strong mark in the history of Jingshan City. Even if thousands of years have passed, Jingshan There are still legends about them in the city.
Lin Mo looked at those densely packed names, and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.
Humans living in this world are not safe. They can only shrink in the city, resisting the attacks of alien beasts and monsters that will come at any time. In order to survive, countless practitioners guard the city at the cost of their lives, and countless Adventurers risk their lives and travel through the dangerous wilderness, so that the city will not be lonely.
These cultivators and adventurers are worthy of admiration.
Lin Mo didn't have so many feelings before. Even when he first entered the wilderness, he still had the mentality of going out to see the world. Now looking at these names, he finally understands why those ordinary people are so enthusiastic about cultivators and worship them so much. up.
After the ceremony was over, Lu Tianfeng stood on the main seat and looked around the entire hall. After a while, he smiled lightly and said, "Due to my cultivation, I can no longer serve as the city lord, so I disturbed everyone's Qingxiu and called this alliance meeting." , I hope everyone is happy."
"The city lord is polite!" Everyone said with a smile.
Lu Tianfeng has been in power for 18 years, the majesty of the city lord has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even martial artists are full of respect for him.
Over the past 18 years, Lu Tianfeng has devoted himself to protecting Jingshan City, and even stood on the top of Jingshan City several times without fear of danger to resist the attacks of alien beasts and monsters.
The most critical time, Lu Tianfeng single-handedly killed seven in and seven out of the group of alien beasts with a gun. He killed more than a dozen powerful alien beasts and defended Jingshan City.
Lu Tianfeng is not only the lord of Jingshan City, he is also recognized as the strongest by many martial artists in Jingshan City.
Chapter 28 Election of a new city lord (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
"Then I won't talk nonsense. This convene is for the succession of the city lord. I hope that through this meeting, we can choose a better city lord for Jingshan City." Lu Tianfeng said with a smile on his face.
At this time, everyone looked at the two young men behind Lu Tianfeng, knowing that the next city lord would be one of them.
In fact, yesterday, everyone received detailed information about these two people, which was sent by the City Lord's Mansion, and it was also for the sake of everyone's familiarity with the two of them, so that they could choose the candidate that suits their wishes.
As soon as the news that Lu Tianfeng wanted to resign was spread, the two began to act, fighting openly and covertly countless times, and the competition was fierce.
Lu Xiyue is Lu Tianfeng's daughter. With Lu Tianfeng's support, she has the cultivation base of a senior warrior and has mastered the Chiyuan Chamber of Commerce for three years. Her achievements are well known and no one dares to underestimate her. The only shortcoming is her daughter.
The other competitor is Lu Jingze, the leader of the younger generation launched by the Lu family. He is 23 years old this year and his cultivation has reached the peak of a warrior. Without Lin Qing, he would be the well-deserved No. [-] genius in Jingshan City.
Lu Jingze is also in charge of the adventure group supported by the Lu family. He has been going out on adventures since the beginning. He has extremely rich adventure experience, and his fighting level is far superior to that of Lu Xiyue.
Compared with the two, Lu Xiyue is actually at a disadvantage, but she has Lu Tianfeng's support, so it is not sure who will win.
But no matter who the result is, the next city lord will still be the Lu family.
Facing everyone's scrutiny, Lu Xiyue and Lu Jingze straightened their bodies with stern faces. Although they are candidates for the next city lord and may become city lords in the future, the people in front of them are all senior martial artists. As juniors, they dare not neglect mentality.
Even if they become city lords, they have to maintain this mentality for a long time without accumulating precipitation.
"What do you think? Do you have any objections?" Lu Tianfeng asked.
Everyone on the round table looked down at the round table without looking sideways, as if there was something magical on the round table that attracted them.
No one is stupid, whoever you choose is your Lu family, no matter who you support, you will offend others.
But there are always people who like to show off their intelligence to show their specialness.
"I don't think either of them are suitable. I'm more optimistic about the Lin family, Lin Qing. He is a martial artist at a young age, and his future is even more limitless. I believe that Lin Qing will lead Jingshan City to a more prosperous road."
The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Yueshan who had been staring at Lin Mo viciously.
As for why he said this, it was obviously disgusting to the Lin family.
Maybe what he did would cause dissatisfaction with Lu Tianfeng and everyone in the Lu family, but he didn't care, because even if the Lu family was dissatisfied, they wouldn't do anything to him. After all, even if he really supported Lin Qing, Lin Qing would not become the city lord .
Hearing these words, everyone's eyes couldn't help turning to Lin Qing who was resting with his eyes closed behind Lin Mo.
Looking at the handsome Lin Qing, everyone felt regretful. If the Lin family had the strength to compete with the Lu family, they might really be willing to support Lin Qing.
When Lin Qing heard these words, he opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhang Yueshan indifferently, and then continued to close his eyes to rest his mind.
That look perfectly explained what it meant to be too lazy to talk to you.
Lin Mo sat quietly in his seat, with a gentle expression on his face, and looked at Lu Tianfeng with slightly narrowed eyes, as if to say, Lord City Lord, I support your daughter, don't be provoked by villains.
Seeing this scene, Lu Tianfeng smiled. He was very clear about the deal between Lu Xiyue and Lin Mo, and it was under his guidance that Lu Xiyue went to win over the Lin family. He did not doubt the attitude of the Lin family.
But the performance of the Lin family's uncle and nephew made him feel amused in his heart. The look of ignoring people was so funny that he didn't take Zhang Yueshan seriously at all.
He also knew that Lin Mo had publicly exposed Zhang Yueshan's shortcomings in front of the city lord's mansion before, and he also understood the reason why Zhang Yueshan did so.
Thinking about Lin Mo's performance since he came in, Zhang Yueshan thought to himself: What a cunning little fox.
At this moment, he suddenly had a strong thought in his heart that the Lin family's uncles and nephews are not simple, they are all excellent, and they are all qualified to be Yue'er's husband.
"Okay, Master Zhang, stop joking, let's get down to business." Lu Tianfeng put away those noisy thoughts, and got back to business.
It's just that the tone is very bad, showing his dissatisfaction with Zhang Yueshan.
Zhang Yueshan didn't care, he nodded casually, and continued to stare at Lin Mo viciously.
That vicious gaze made Lin Mo very speechless, you can't cover it up, what you hid was very deep before, why is it so obvious now.
In fact, he knew that Zhang Yueshan believed that today was the day when the Lin family would be destroyed, so he stopped hiding it, but he felt very uncomfortable because there were always people looking at him like this.
"Cough cough." Lin Mo coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, then got up and said a little cautiously: "Master City Master, you should take care of Master Zhang, he always looks at the boy like this, making him feel cruel The feeling of being stared at by the black firewood dog is really scary, and the kid knows what he should have said before, but as an elder, Zhang Family, I hope the kid doesn't care about it."
While talking, he also pretended to be scared, which looked very funny.
What is a ferocious black dog? Isn't that a curse?
And what should not have been said reminded everyone of something.
"Ha ha"
"cough cough"
Everyone laughed loudly, without any intention of hiding it.
Everyone sympathizes with the weak. What Zhang Yueshan did just now has actually turned everyone's hearts towards the Lin family. From their point of view, the Lin family is still weak even though they have martial arts masters. Zhang Yueshan is really bullying people by provoking them like this.
Especially the martial artist with a long scar on his face from the Adventure Association, whose loud laughter echoed throughout the conference hall.
Zhang Yueshan's face was extremely ugly, his eyes became more sinister, and he gritted his teeth as if he wanted to eat Lin Mo.
"Ahem!" Lu Tianfeng waved his hands to signal everyone to stop, and said, "Okay, the young Patriarch Zhang is thin-skinned and easily nervous, so let's stop paying attention to the young people, and let's get down to business first."
After a burst of laughter, the originally serious atmosphere became cheerful, and even the faces of all the martial artists were smiling.
"I think you all have candidates in your mind, so hurry up and let's vote with a show of hands." Lu Tianfeng said solemnly.
Seeing everyone nodding, he said directly: "Those who support the little girl Lu Xiyue, please raise your hands."
After speaking, his eyes became sharper, sweeping across the crowd like knives.
The Lu parents who had been silent all this time also raised their heads and stared at the crowd.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense again.
Lin Mo looked at the crowd silently, and then set his eyes on Lu Xiyue. At this time, Lu Xiyue's face was very calm, and her eyes were calm, but it was a pity that those slender hands that were tightly clenched betrayed her.
One hand was raised unhurriedly. It was Song Yanqing. Everyone was not surprised. As a woman, Song Yanqing's support for Lu Xiyue was understandable.
Song Yanqing was just the beginning, followed by Patriarch Zhao and Patriarch Li, plus Lin Mo, there were only four of them.
Of the thirteen martial artists in Jingshan City, excluding the three martial artists from the Adventurers Association who did not have the right to vote, there were only ten remaining, and the support of the four was no more than half.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lu Tianfeng, he is also a martial artist, and he also has a vote.
Lu Tianfeng raised his hand with an ugly face, even if he was added, it was still only half of the number, and it was impossible to decide that Lu Xiyue would become the city lord.
"Then the rest are supporting Lu Jingze?" He squinted his eyes and looked at Patriarch Liu.
The elders of the Lu family knew without thinking that they would not support Lu Xiyue, but he did not expect that the head of the Liu family would quit at this time.
One must know that he personally went to win over the Liu family, and the owner of the Liu family also agreed to him very respectfully at that time.
At this moment, anger was burning in his heart, and he felt betrayed.
The owner of the Liu family lowered his head and wiped the sweat on his forehead, not daring to meet Lu Tianfeng's gaze. He agreed to Lu Tianfeng, but the conditions given by the elders of the Lu family were too tempting. The leader of the city guards is the most powerful in Jingshan City The fighting force is a position that only the City Lord's Mansion controls.
That's why he chose to support Lu Jingze at the risk of being annoyed by Lu Tianfeng.
Lin Mo looked at this situation with a calm expression.
Five to five.
Both sides are evenly matched.
However, the fun has only just begun.
Chapter 2919 The [-]-year-old martial artist
Lu Tianfeng frowned, and asked: "This kind of result can't determine the candidate for the next city lord, do you have any other ideas?"
Everyone regained their indifferent expressions, lowered their heads one by one, and studied the round table again.
The elder of the Lu family who was sitting next to Lu Tianfeng suddenly winked at Zhang Yueshan, and Zhang Yueshan nodded understandingly.
"City Master, this is also a coincidence. I think it's better to ask the attitude of the association."
Lu Tianfeng frowned and looked at the three martial artists of the association.
The three martial artists of the Adventure Association are Zhou Jiyu and Tao Mingxiu, the two vice presidents, and Wan Mingxuan, the head of the wilderness adventure group in Jingshan City. As for the president of the Adventure Association, although he is a martial artist, he is not from Jingshan City, so Qualified to participate in the martial arts league in Jingshan City.
The three of Zhou Jiyu looked at each other, they didn't expect this kind of result, but they made up their mind not to participate in this dispute.
No matter who is the city lord, it has no influence on them, and they have no need to offend others.
"Patriarch Zhang is wrong. The Adventure Association clearly stipulates that they are not allowed to participate in all city affairs, so we cannot express our position on this matter." Zhou Jiyu said.
A light flashed in Zhang Yueshan's long and narrow eyes. He had long expected that the Adventure Association would not get involved.
"In this case, there is only one way."
"What way?" Lu Tianfeng looked at him coldly.
He finally understood that this Zhang Yueshan was the ostensible shooter recruited by the Lu family elders, and what he said actually meant what the Lu family elders meant.
