Early in the morning, Tang Qianqi respectfully led three armed men to the door of the inn.
These three men were the direct descendants of the three big families. One was Jia Huoyan of the Jia Family, the other was Yue Dongsheng of the Yue Family, and the last one was Tang Qianling of the Tang Family. The three of them seemed to be in their teens or twenties, and they chatted happily with each other.
However, despite their young age, they were all the third generation successors of their families, or were about to become successors. Therefore, they walked with their heads held high and their chests out.
"Huoyan, I heard that you are about to take office and become the successor of the Jia Family? Don't forget to treat us to a drink at that time! "Yue Dongsheng looked at Jia Huoyan meaningfully and teased him with a smile.
"You flatter me, Brother Dongsheng!" Jia Huoyan didn't deny it either. He smiled faintly and turned to flatter Tang Qianling. "Isn't it all thanks to Big Brother Ling for sending me such a capable external aid? Only then can I have an absolute advantage in the upcoming external aid competition between the families! If I can take office successfully in the future, I will never forget your help today! "
Among the three, Tang Qianling and Yue Dongsheng were the same age, while Jia Huoyan was one year younger than them. Therefore, he usually treated the other two as their younger brother.
"Haha! Huoyan, you are too polite. In fact, you are not much younger than us. Don't call us big brother. You make us sound old! " Tang Qianling pretended to be modest, but in fact, he was already very proud. However, he did not forget Yue Dongsheng, who was on the other side. He turned to Yue Dongsheng and said with a smile, "If it wasn't for Dongsheng's help, he would only be a mediocre person who can't even take care of himself, let alone help you!"
"Qianqi, now that you are with Qian Ling, you must learn more. He has always been a righteous person. As long as you are loyal to him, he will definitely not treat you badly!" Yue Dongsheng was obviously very happy with Tang Qianling's flattery. He spoke to Tang Qianqi sincerely like a big brother.
"Of course, of course! Thank you for your guidance, Brother Dongsheng. I will definitely learn from Master Ling! "Tang Qianqi hurriedly nodded and promised.
"By the way, how many people have signed up for the trial? Have we reached the required number? "Tang Qianling asked.
Tang Qianqi brought out the name list and looked at it before he reported, "Young Master Ling, a few days ago, we brought more than fifty new people from the outer world of martial arts. Right now, there are a total of one hundred and six people in the inn. We've already reached the standard."
Tang Qianling nodded slightly and ordered, "Alright, then let them come out and gather! If there's no problem, we'll go back and report to the family, and prepare to send them to work in the mines! "
"Okay, I'll go and call them out!" Tang Qianqi answered and turned to run into the inn.
After a while, the people in the inn came out one after another and stood in the square outside the gate.
They were all doing their own things when they were called over by Tang Qianqi. They didn't know what they were going to do, nor did they know who the three people in front of them were. They naturally formed a small group and stood together in twos and threes, whispering to each other.
"Stop arguing! Now, let's do a headcount. If you hear me call your name, shout out that you're here! After the roll call, wait for the Eldest Young Master of the three big clans to give everyone a lecture! " Tang Qianqi roared and everyone subconsciously quieted down. He cleared his throat and took the name list and began to take roll call.
Xiao Chen stood at the back of the crowd and glanced at Jia Huoyan and the others. He turned his head and asked Jia Musen in a low voice, "Who are those three people? The three big clans? Why do they look even more hedonistic than me? They're clearly trying to steal my part of the show! "
"The one on the left wearing red clothes is the direct descendant of the Tang Clan, Tang Qianling. The one in the middle wearing white clothes is the Yue Clan's Young Master, Yue Dongsheng. As for the one on the right who looks ugly …" Jia Musen coldly looked at Jia Huoyan and said, "That person is Jia Huoyan. The three of them are the third generation successors of the clan. Some have already been promoted, and some will be promoted soon."
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you become the third generation successor of the Jia Clan. Let that idiot be free and unfettered for a while!" Xiao Chen patted Jia Musen's shoulder and asked with a little astonishment, "I thought that the disciples of the big clans all looked down on each other! From the looks of it, they seem to be quite harmonious! "
"Cheh, harmonious what! It's all an act! Don't look at how the three big clans seem to be harmonious on the surface, looking out for each other and helping each other, they are actually competing with each other in secret! Every clan can't wait to destroy the other two clans so that they can monopolize the power! "Jia Musen curled his lips in disdain.
"Oh? How come I heard that only the Open Heaven Sect is more powerful in the inner martial arts world? What's there to compete with these three big clans? No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than the Open Heaven Sect? Don't they still have to be managed by others? " Xiao Chen was a little puzzled and asked in bewilderment, "Moreover, I heard you say that the Tang Clan also sent external help to that Jia Huoyan? If their relationship was bad, they wouldn't have specially come to help, right? "
Previously, when Xiao Chen met Little Miss Xing in the Demon Star Sect, he discovered that the disciples of the other sects were all submissive to her, like mice seeing a cat. It could be seen how powerful the Open Heaven Sect was in the inner martial arts world. Could it be that these three big clans were more powerful than the Open Heaven Sect?
"That's still different. Sects are sects, clans are clans. Although the two sides usually have some interests, they basically don't interfere with each other." Jia Musen shrugged and explained.
"Oh, then are the three big clans equal in strength? No matter what, there should be a difference, right? "Xiao Chen asked while rubbing his chin.
Jia Musen explained unhurriedly, "The Tang Clan has the most experts, and the clan's disciples are all very talented in cultivation. However, they suffer from a lack of resources on hand, and even the ancient secret manuals are very few. Although the Yue Clan doesn't have many experts, and the younger generation mostly only know how to eat, drink, and play without any achievements, they have a deep foundation. They have many heavenly treasures and ancient secret manuals, so the Tang Clan often sends experts to the Yue Clan to learn."
"What about the Jia Clan?"
Jia Musen paused, glanced at Jia Huoyan, and continued, "As for the Jia Clan, they are the biggest shareholder of the Heavenly Jade Mine. Therefore, they have the most powerful connections in the inner martial arts world. This is an advantage that the other two clans don't have. Therefore, although the three Clan Masters appear to be harmonious on the surface, they secretly do everything possible to seize each other's resources for themselves!"
"Oh … listening to what you said, the Yue Clan should be the weakest. They don't have any connections, nor do they have any experts overseeing them. They only have a mountain of treasures, so it should be easy for the other two clans to swallow them up! How can they still stand tall? "Xiao Chen asked curiously after listening to Jia Musen's analysis.
