Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Early morning.
As usual, Xiao Bai came to wake him up.
"Master ~
"Wake up."
A gentle voice rang in his ears.
"Yes."
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
The problem of the Twin Crystal had finally been resolved. His life had returned to normal. With Little You Sheng around, he did not have to worry about the sinister aura.
After washing up …
The number of people who came for breakfast increased from two to four …
→_→
Lu Ming glanced around. He had a feeling that his and Xiao Bai's warm daily life had been destroyed. Hence, he paused briefly and looked at the two children who were preparing to eat.
"Have you finished your homework?"
"I'm done."
"Have you memorized it?"
"Huh?"
Little Mingsheng looked puzzled. Did he have to memorize it?
"Go ahead."
Lu Ming sighed. "Bring your breakfast over. Memorize it while you eat."
"Oh."
Little Mingsheng was in a trance.
It turned out that …
He had to memorize mathematics homework?
"As for you …"
Lu Ming looked at Little You Sheng.
"I will accompany my brother."
Little You Sheng blinked her eyes and said in a righteous manner, "As an elder sister, I have to protect my brother and not let him be too disappointed."
Upon finishing her words …
She went over.
"Not bad."
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
Look.
Little You Sheng was indeed very intelligent …
But then again, how did she become the elder sister?
"Master ~"
Xiao Bai was between laughter and tears.
This was annoying!
How could they educate their children this way!
"Otherwise, they will have no privacy in the future."
Lu Ming said faintly.
"That's true."
Xiao Bai came to her senses.
Since the appearance of the two children, she had been very busy. Besides doing experiments, she had to educate the two children. It had been a long time since she accompanied her master.
At the thought of this …
Xiao Bai felt warm in her heart.
Hence …
The two chatted while watching the news, watching television and eating. Their lives seemed to have returned to the time when they were in Qing Ming City …
It was warm and comfortable.
It was the end of the year.
In the news, there were reports on the association grand ceremony and the competition between the top associations. Of course, it had nothing to do with the Sword Card Master Association …
It was the end of the year.
All kinds of annual XX parties were about to begin …
They just wanted to watch the show.
However …
At this moment.
A piece of news suddenly flashed on the screen.
Hiss —
Lu Ming took a look and sucked in a mouthful of Liangpi.
"Master ~"
Xiao Bai was furious.
How annoying!
She suddenly felt that her master had purposely sent the two children away so that he could eat Liangpi …
"You're not allowed to eat!"
Xiao Bai was about to leave when her eyes fell on the light screen. Seeing the news that suddenly appeared, she also stopped.
— —
Our news report: Zhao Yunshan, the heir of the Zhao Family Group, has been banned by the court due to an equity dispute. Hundreds of companies and assets under his name have been frozen. Zhao Yunshan has been restricted from spending and …
— —
???
Lu Ming was dumbfounded.
Something had actually happened to Zhao Yunshan!
Furthermore, it was the most unbelievable financial dispute …
What a joke!
Who was Old Zhao?
He was the heir of the Zhao family's business empire!
His father was a real business tycoon. He only had one son, Zhao Yunshan. His identity and status would actually be restricted because of a financial dispute?
How could that be possible?!
Unless …
Something big had happened to his family.
Lu Ming switched on his communication device and sent a message to Zhao Yunshan.
— —
Ding!
This account has been canceled.
Please add a new account and send a message.
— —
Lu Ming was speechless.
"Let me take a look."
Xiao Bai opened the address book right away. Unsurprisingly, Zhao Yunshan's account had indeed been canceled and there was no more data.
Social platform?
No.
Zhao Yunshan, who had been away from the Sword Card Master Association for some time, seemed to have evaporated. There was no trace of him.
Zhao Yunshan …
True enough, something had happened!
"Let me think about it."
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
He remembered what Old Zhao said previously?
Oh.
Something had happened at home. His sister had stirred up some trouble. Therefore, he went back to deal with it. In the end, he never returned …
He vaguely remembered.
Back then, it was also because of the assassination attempt on Zhao Yunshan …
It involved his sister.
Oo …
Lu Ming squinted his eyes and tapped the table gently. His mind worked quickly and he quickly linked all the things that Zhao Yunshan had experienced.
Also …
That money …
Was it more expensive than the building of the Sword Card Master Association?
No.
That was only a small amount of money.
And …
Why did Zhao Yunshan's father not do anything?
Things …
It was getting more and more interesting.
"Xiao-Xiaojian?"
"Yes."
"Can you deduce information about Zhao Yunshan?"
"Let me try."
Xiao-Xiaojian took action.
As an ancient Excalibur, it had advanced to Six Stars with Lu Ming and its ability had increased tremendously. If it was merely deducing information about Zhao Yunshan …
However …
Lights and shadows flashed. There was a blank space.
"There is nothing."
Xiao-Xiaojian's expression changed slightly.
"Got it."
Lu Ming's expression was grave.
Even Xiao-Xiaojian could not deduce anything. There was only one possibility — A grandmaster had taken action and blocked all information related to Zhao Yunshan with his powerful powers!
Interesting …
What exactly happened for a grandmaster to intervene?!
Very soon …
The disciples had also seen the news. They asked their friends about the relevant information and the only thing they knew was that something had happened to the Zhao family.
As for Zhao Yunshan …
He did not come out after he went back.
"Did something happen to his father?"
Zhou Yun made a guess.
"No."
Li Haoran shook his head. "His father attended a meeting yesterday."
"Let me ask."
Lu Ming thought about it.
He was the president of an association after all. He knew many big shots and he had a group of presidents. Therefore, he managed to find someone to contact Zhao Yunshan's father.
"Hello.
"I am Lu Ming."
Lu Ming's voice was low.
"Hello."
Father Zhao's voice was very calm. "Do you want to ask about Zhao Yunshan?"
"Yes."
Lu Ming went straight to the point. "I want to know what happened to Yunshan?"
"It's nothing."
Father Zhao said indifferently, "Yunshan's talent is average. It is useless for him to cultivate and it is very dangerous. Therefore, I plan to let him rest for a period of time and do some business."
"The court …"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"I just want to prevent him from wasting money."
Father Zhao said lightly.
"…"
Lu Ming was full of doubts. "Can I speak to him?"
"Sorry."
Father Zhao rejected him.
"…"
Lu Ming was even more doubtful.
If it was really about the family property, did he need to go to such lengths?
And …
This guy's attitude …
"What if I insist on seeing him?"
Lu Ming's attitude also became tougher.
"You'd better mind your own business."
Father Zhao sneered. "If not for you, he would not have acted so recklessly!"
Upon finishing his words …
Bam!
Father Zhao hung up the phone.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Wait a minute.
What did he mean by mind his own business?
And …
Why did Zhao Yunshan act so recklessly? What did he do?!
Inside …
There was indeed something wrong!
Furthermore, Lu Ming thought of more. In the early days, Zhao Yunshan's family was rich. Due to the lack of foundation, no Swordsman Grandmaster was willing to be his master …
He believed in that.
But what happened later on?
The Zhao family corporation became bigger and bigger.
When Lu Ming got to know Zhao Yunshan, the Zhao family's funds were already very terrifying! Even Zhao Yunshan could easily buy a building in Tian Du City!
What was this?
This was the power of money!
With this amount of funds, Zhao Yunshan could not buy a master?
Impossible!
Therefore …
It was highly possible that Father Zhao was unwilling to hire him!!!
Also …
The disciples also understood the Zhao family's father and son. Zhao Yunshan, as a father, was very guilty and doted on his son. However, judging from his attitude just now …
Something did not seem right?
Lu Ming checked the information with Zhou Yun and the rest. Everyone was very suspicious.
The timing was just right.
He looked at the timetable. Tomorrow was the 'Zhao Corporation's annual meeting'. They not only invited all kinds of business big shots but also invited a grandmaster in the industry.
Therefore …
Lu Ming decided to make a trip to the Zhao family in person!
However …
If Lu Ming went out, there would be another problem — excessive yang aura! What if there was no one to suppress it outside? He could not possibly transform …
Therefore …
Little You Sheng had to follow as well.
With the little girl accompanying Lu Ming, Lu Ming's physical condition would be stable.
Family member + 1
Furthermore …
This was the little girl's first time going out. In addition to her special identity and her lively aura, it seemed that she would only be quiet when she was around Xiao Bai.
Therefore …
Xiao Bai had to follow them?
Family member + 1
Afterward …
Xiao-Ming had been throwing a tantrum these two days.
He had been thinking about life every day. Xiao Bai was really worried that he would do something out of line due to being isolated … For example, the edges and corners that he always talked about …
Look.
Since the three of them were going, he had to go too, right?
Family member + 1
The team that had planned to go alone was getting bigger and bigger.
In the end …
Lu Ming was shocked to discover that the association's travel list had expanded to more than ten people, including the few teenagers in white and red …
Lu Ming was speechless.
Why did they follow them?!
"My father is a grandmaster."
The teenager in white said calmly, "I remember that we can bring our family members with us for the annual meeting. I will just follow my father and be a passerby."
Lu Ming was speechless.
This was because he had acutely noticed one thing —
Wait a minute.
"The Zhao family is holding an annual meeting and they actually need tickets?!"
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Wasn't it similar to the annual meeting of an IT company? There was a banquet for everyone to eat and drink?
"Of course."
The teenager in white said matter-of-factly, "The Zhao family is rich. They directly booked a cold mountain resort for the annual meeting … Many people are there to freeload at the hot spring."
Lu Ming was speechless.
If he could not sneak into the venue to meet people, he was afraid that he could only wait outside to block people.
How embarrassing.
"Are there no scalpers?"
Lu Ming sighed.
"What do you think?"
Li Haoran felt very helpless.
The two presidents glanced at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.
Oh.
It turned out that this was the annual meeting of a rich family …
"We will hold one sooner or later!"
Lu Ming gritted his teeth. What was so great about holding an annual meeting?!
"Yes!"
Li Haoran was also full of fighting spirit!
"Humph!"
Lu Ming snorted coldly. "When the time comes, I won't ask for tickets. I won't be so stingy."
"Cough."
Li Haoran coughed and reminded him. "Master, we still need tickets. Otherwise, if the Energy Warriors come in groups, ordinary people really can't handle them …"
Lu Ming: → _ →
Oh.
He had forgotten about this.
…
The matter of the annual meeting was temporarily put aside.
Although Lu Ming already had a grandmaster disciple, this disciple had nothing to do with the Zhao family. Naturally, they did not send him an invitation.
Therefore …
"What about Senior Qiu?"
Li Haoran reminded him.
Qiu Shuyi was very famous now. She was the kind of person who could easily bring people in without an invitation.
"I'll ask."
Lu Ming sent a message to his sister.
Afterward …
He learned that they were still lost.
"Sister, did you disconnect her from the internet?"
Lu Ming was doubtful.
"Yes."
Lu Yan was silent for a long time before replying. "Before she disconnected her internet, Master downloaded dozens of television dramas …"
Lu Ming was speechless.
Senior Qiu could do it!
Well …
Obviously, this was not the way to go.
…
"Why don't you go on my behalf?"
The teenager in red raised his hand.
He was also the family member of a grandmaster!
He seldom went out and did not know many people.
It was just right.
Since Master was gone, he could go and accompany Miss Xiao Qing …
"No."
Li Haoran shook his head.
"I don't mind."
The teenager in red said in a low voice.
"That's not what I meant."
Li Haoran sighed. "It's mainly because the difference in looks between you and Master is too big. You will expose yourself."
The teenager in red was speechless.
Who would say that?!
However …
If President Lu Ming was not around these few days, this was a good opportunity …
"I have an idea!"
The teenager in red had a brainwave. "My sister doesn't have a boyfriend. President, didn't you ride my sister the other time? You can pretend to be my brother-in-law … "
Li Haoran was speechless.
The disciples were speechless.
What did he mean by ride?
Shush!
Everyone looked at Lu Ming in unison.
"…"
Lu Ming's expression froze and he sighed with difficulty. "That was an accident … It was the first time I used the Return Card …"
It was a pity …
The disciples seemed to be completely uninterested in the second half of the story.
"Wow!"
"Master is so ferocious!"
"True enough, Master is very kind to the disciples of grandmasters …"
"Perhaps there will be another child …"
"It makes sense."
"What do you guys think this time? How about Lu Chaosheng … "
"Not bad, not bad."
The disciples were amazed.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Forget it.
It did not matter.
The father of the teenager in red happened to be the president of the Array Masters Association. He was a grandmaster and it was not a problem for him to bring Lu Ming in.
However, this concerned the lady's reputation …
"It's okay.
"Leave it to me!"
The teenager in red was full of confidence.
After a long time …
He came back. "My dad said that he did not want to go initially. You can go on his behalf. My sister is in seclusion. You can meet her when she comes out … "
Lu Ming was speechless.
How could your sister get married?!
…
The next day.
Lu Ming arrived at the Cold Mountain Villa that the Zhao family had booked.
Over there …
It was already overcrowded.
The ground cars were jammed. Even the ones flying in the sky were jammed …
Fortunately, flying was very easy for Sword Card Masters. After a few drifts, Lu Ming arrived at the entrance of the Cold Mountain Villa.
Over there …
The security guard was checking the tickets.
"What is your relationship with that person?"
"Son-in-law."
"Oh, oh, okay."
The security guard had a record and he verified it very quickly. However, his gaze soon landed on Little You Sheng who was beside Lu Ming. This young lady …
"My daughter."
Lu Ming said calmly.
Due to the restrictions and conditions of the tickets, Lu Ming eventually only brought Little You Sheng along.
"…"
The security guard was shocked. After verifying his identity, he looked at Lu Ming's age and then at Little You Sheng. He cast an admiring gaze toward Lu Ming.
"Please."
He took the initiative to give way.
"Okay."
Lu Ming was very calm.
It was much easier than he had imagined.
He only had to verify the tickets. The rest did not seem to matter.
That was right.
After all, it was just an annual meeting …
This was what Lu Ming had in mind.
However …
Just at this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance.
"I really can't."
The security guard said.
"Why not?!"
The elderly grandmaster hollered. "How dare you look down on me?"
"No."
The security guard said softly, "You brought too many people …"
"It is written that you can bring family members."
The old man sneered. "Look, my eldest son's family, my second son's family, my third son's family, my eldest grandson's family, my second grandson's family, my third grandson's family …"
"The person in front is obviously not a grandmaster. You didn't even check!"
"I have brought my household register. Why don't you let me in?!"
"Exactly!"
A few people said.
"But …"
The security guard had tears in his eyes. Looking at the dozens of people, there were too many of them?!
Thankfully …
At this moment, the supervisor came and took the initiative to welcome them.
"May I ask what your occupation is …"
"Energy Warrior!"
The old man said deliberately.
"Please."
The supervisor admitted defeat.
"Humph!"
The old man led the people in proudly.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn it!
It was no wonder that he and Little You Sheng did not need to be checked. They were the real freeloaders! They really had an invitation for the whole village to eat!
