"We may need to be more patient …" Wei Ming, who had gone to deploy previously, suddenly appeared and added this sentence when Wei Zhong comforted Wei Tianqi.
"What's wrong?" Wei Zhong looked at Wei Ming and found that Wei Ming's expression was extremely ugly. What kind of difficult problem made Wei Ming, the brain of the City Lord's Mansion, so difficult?
"When I came down just now, I happened to see Lu Ping talking to someone," Wei Ming said.
"It's Liang Zheng." When he said this name, Wei Ming's already ugly expression became even more serious.
The shrewd Wei Zhong, the only son of the City Lord, Wei Tianqi, and the self-proclaimed genius Wei Yang were all silent after hearing this name.
Liang Zheng.
The third young master of the Liang family.
This Liang was the authentic Liang of the four big families.
"Lu Ping is from the Liang family?" Wei Tianqi said the most terrifying possibility. If this was the case, the conflict between them and Lu Ping was a small matter. If this guy was sent by the Liang family to deliberately make things difficult for them, then it was a big deal.
If this was the case, then Wei Zhong's previous actions that were illogical could be explained. Because with such a background, there was no need to hide and act in the dark. What could they do if they were to cause trouble and disgust them like an unrelated person?
The three looked at Wei Ming, hoping that Wei Ming would have an accurate answer.
But unfortunately, Wei Ming just shook his head. "I'm not sure. I'm not sure yet. I don't even know where to start investigating their relationship."
That's right …
Where to start investigating? Lu Ping and Liang Zheng had only known each other the day before, and this was the second time they had spoken to each other. It would be difficult to investigate their relationship with just these two incidents.
"Don't investigate. It will only cause more trouble." At this moment, Wei Zhong showed his shrewd and ruthless side. Wei Ming was stunned when he heard what Wei Zhong said, but he immediately understood.
"Just act like you don't know anything and proceed as planned," Wei Zhong said.
"Understood." Wei Ming nodded. This matter. It was true that they couldn't investigate it. If they found out that it had nothing to do with the Liang family, then they would feel at ease. But what if it's related? They didn't dare to fall out with the Liang family, but they also couldn't allow Lu Ping to continue causing trouble for them. There was nothing he could do about it.
Therefore, it was better not to investigate and pretend to be confused. After dealing with the troublemaker, he would stop when the time was right.
But even so, the Liang family … had become a lingering shadow. It hung over their heads like the gloomy sky.
The Soul Selection Gathering temporarily came to an end. The students gathered on the Soul Selection Platform slowly walked down but didn't immediately disperse.
Even though they were slightly depressed that they couldn't advance further here, but to be able to make it this far meant that they were the cream of the crop of almost twenty thousand students. This was enough to win some opportunities for them.
This was the inner city of Zhiling City, the heart of the entire Zhiling District. Any random passerby on the streets could be a high-ranking official or a dignitary.
The power they wielded could easily change a person's fate.
As to the Soul Selection Gathering, it may not have been organized for this purpose in the beginning, but after hundreds of years, the Soul Selection Gathering had become a stage. A stage for new xiuzhe to have a chance to display themselves, a stage where power organizations or factions could pick the new generation of xiuzhe they liked like buying vegetables in a market.
So even those students who hadn't been able to advance to the next round were not in a hurry to leave. They were very aware that they would be the next round, and purposefully stayed to see if anyone was interested in recruiting them.
Those who had an outstanding performance in this round would undoubtedly attract more attention. However, generally speaking, it would be a little too late to recruit outstanding students after the end of the Soul Point Assembly. Some factions that wanted to recruit new people would already draw up a list of people they thought highly of. The Soul Selection Gathering was just a stage they used for their final inspection. Those that waited until now to search were all impromptu.
Shujihira, Ning Shu … …
Famous top students in the Zhiling District. Someone had already formed a relationship with them. Even their success or failure in the Soul Selection Gathering wouldn't affect other people's favor. As a matter of fact, the two people who had come down from the Soul Selection Platform had already been welcomed. The two weren't unfamiliar with the newcomers. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
As for Qin Sang, Wei Tianqi, and even Dao Ran, their strength wasn't bad, but more importantly, they already had good backgrounds. Recruiting? This word couldn't be applied to these people. At least, not until their backgrounds hadn't wasted their talents. However, there were many people surrounding them. It wasn't to recruit them, but to establish good communication with their backgrounds.
There was only one kind of person who would truly disturb everyone's attention because of the Soul Selection Gathering.
They were unknown before, but had shocked the world with a single brilliant feat at the Soul Selection Gathering. This kind of student wouldn't have been noted before, and had only been discovered now. The actions targeting them would naturally be a bit hasty and blunt.
Those from Zhenfeng College were undoubtedly among these people. Apart from Morin, who'd been seen as shameless cheating his way into the next round, Lu Ping and Su Tang's performances didn't need to be said. Siffin, who'd appeared last of the four, hadn't performed all that well, but he'd still made it into the next round without batting an eyelid. This was the best proof of his strength.
Apart from this, there was one more: Xu Weifeng.
His skills that had caught even the examiners off guard had already attracted the attention of many.
These people had immediately been added to many people's lists after their performances on the Soul Selection Platform. Lu Ping had actually been disqualified after this, and was the first to be exiled from the stage.
What these people cared about was strength. Lu Ping had already had enough proof, and was disqualified by the Soul Selection Gathering? This kind of thing might become a character reference, but at least it wasn't enough to be a reason to be rejected at the moment.
When Lu Ping came down from the stage, there were already many forces eyeing him covetously, wanting to approach him. But in the end, no one came up. Everyone just stared dumbfoundedly.
Because someone had already beaten them to it. With this person, no one really had the confidence to compete with him.
Liang Zheng!
The third young master of the Liang family, Liang Zheng.
Why was he here? No one knew. What everyone saw was that as soon as Lu Ping came down from the stage, Liang Zheng greeted him and started to talk to him. Moreover, the two didn't look like they'd just met each other. There wasn't the kind of greeting of introducing each other, and they directly started to communicate.
This Lu Ping, was he a member of the Liang family?
Many people had already thought so. At this time, Wei Ming was standing in the crowd, his expression uncertain as he pondered.
Everyone was very curious, but in the end, no one dared to go up and eavesdrop on what the third young master of the Liang family was talking about. They only saw that in the end, Liang Zheng smiled happily and patted Lu Ping's shoulder.
Of course, they didn't expect that the third young master of the Liang family could still smile so happily after being rejected, and it was the second time.
