Chapter 11 Aristocratic Family! Personal Connections Are Important

…

same moment.

In the VIP hall of Tianyuan Danfang, all the heads of the aristocratic families have also learned the results of the examination papers and their ranking order.

At the same time, the thirteen young alchemists who were selected were also called to the VIP room and stayed beside the heads of their respective families to wait for the results to be announced.

Only Si Xinghai had no family, so he found a corner to stand by himself and did not talk to the family members around him, as if he was not in the same time and space as them.

On the desk in the corner, a red copper incense burner was emitting curls of incense, like smoke, swirling and rising. On the beam above his head, a beautifully carved fluorescent stone lamp was emitting a bright and warm light.

The decoration in this VIP room is luxurious but not high-profile, exuding an elegant atmosphere.

However, even so, it cannot conceal the undercurrent surging in the air.

"Hahaha~ Brother Yuwen, congratulations." Qian Jingde, the elder of the Qian family, picked up the tea cup and glanced at the Yuwen family elder next to him with a smile, "Your family Nianjing is ranked third, and this spot will probably not be missed. ”

This elder is none other than Qian Xuefu's biological grandfather, and one of the Heavenly Realm elders of the Qian family.

The Zifu family is different from the Tianren family. Only the monks in the Zifu realm are the real ancestors of the family.

However, even if he is only an elder in the Heavenly Realm, Qian Jingde's style is not small when he goes out. Compared with the ancestors of ordinary seventh-grade families, his status is only higher but not lower.

"Let Nian Jing participate this time just to train her." Yu Wen Jinghong smiled heartily and did not answer his words, "The third place result is not considered stable. The specific results will depend on Master Alchemy. Meaning. But the Dongfang family has produced an amazing Qilinzi. He can win the first place in front of many young and outstanding alchemists, which shows that he has a lot of background."

This Yuwen Jinghong is naturally also an elder of the Yuwen clan in the Heavenly Realm.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention immediately turned to Dongfang Family's Heavenly Ancestor, Dongfang Bohua.

The ancestor of the Dongfang clan, Bohua, is over three hundred years old. Not only is his beard white, but his lifespan is running out, and he looks like a withered old man.

However, his eyes at this moment were extremely bright, showing excitement.

Great~ Dongfang’s hard life is finally over~

The family's heavenly seeds failed to attack the heavenly realm twice before, which had already emptied the Dongfang family's family fortune. If it had not been for the birth of an outstanding child like Dongfang Yuxi, the Dongfang family would have declined and been reduced to an eighth-grade family.

Now that Dongfang Yuxi has ranked first in the exam, she will definitely be accepted as a disciple by Master Alchemy. In this way, even if Dongfang Bohua runs out of life in the future, the Dongfang family will rise again sooner or later, and even go higher.

However, no matter how excited he felt, Patriarch Bohua had lived for hundreds of years, but he didn't show it on his face. He still had a humble and kind attitude, stroking his beard and smiling: "Hahaha~ That's awesome~ That's awesome Great~ This kid Yu Xi just works a little harder than usual, how can Brother Yuwen say that she is so awesome?"

Behind Patriarch Bohua, Dongfang Yuxi still looked calm and unfazed, as if winning the first place was not worth showing off.

Everyone nodded secretly.

Although he is unfazed by favors and humiliations at a young age, this boy may have great potential in the future.

Between you and me, none of the big guys revealed much, but they all already had their own judgments in their hearts. In his words, he naturally showed some intention of wooing the young and old of the Dongfang clan.

Who can serve as the patriarch or elder in a big family, who is not a human spirit?

They naturally understand that if Dongfang Yuxi can really become a disciple of Master Alchemy today, the Dongfang family will definitely rise in the future, and may even become a sixth-grade family.

At this time, it is naturally beneficial and harmful to win over and make friends.

It’s just a pity that other people...

The Qian family, the Yuwen family and the elders of several other major families glanced at Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shouye vaguely, and they couldn't help but feel sorry in their hearts.

That Wang Shouye looks young, and his basic skills are also very solid. He is obviously a good prospect. Unfortunately, he was only second. Master Alchemy has only accepted three disciples, so the chance of getting his turn is very slim.

Who said that the Wang family was just a small seventh-grade family in a remote area?

That Wang Shouye cannot worship Master Alchemy as his teacher this time, and his future growth will definitely not be as good as Dongfang Yuxi's, and the gap will inevitably become wider and wider.

It's a pity, it's really a pity.

Under everyone's vague gazes, Wang Shouye was on pins and needles, so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

Wang Shouzhe was not affected much. He remained calm, calm and self-possessed. He was even in the mood to enjoy tea and snacks.

That's when.

The door to the room suddenly opened with a creak, and a light blue figure appeared outside the door.

Under the light, her skirt swayed, and her temperament was clear and pure, just like a green lotus emerging from the water, which was exactly what Gu Han said, "the two secrets of elixir and medicine".

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Gu Hanyu is a disciple of Master Alchemy Cauldron and the person in charge of this selection. When she comes out at this time, she must be here to announce the results.

Everyone stopped talking and stood up to greet him, their faces unconsciously showing a look of anticipation.

"Everyone should already know that in this disciple selection meeting, Master will select three alchemists to be accepted as disciples." Gu Hanyu moved lightly, walked slowly to the front of the crowd, and said slowly , "The first candidate is the third-grade alchemist, Qian Xuefu."

After the words fell, everyone's faces suddenly showed expressions of "Sure enough."

Although everyone had already speculated, secretly, they still couldn't help but have some delusions, hoping that the Alchemy Master would be unconventional and not focus on family background when selecting people, so that they would have a greater chance of being selected.

At this moment, when they saw that the Master of Alchemy Cauldron had indeed chosen Qian Xuefu, who had the most prominent family background, they were naturally a little disappointed.

Hey~ If you have a good family background, you will be honored. Even becoming a disciple is easier than ordinary people.

Feeling the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Qian Xuefu puffed up his chest proudly, feeling secretly proud of himself.

He knew that he would definitely be selected.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Listening to the buzzing discussion around him, Gu Hanyu frowned slightly.

Although she was not very satisfied with Qian Xuefu in her heart, it was the master's intention after all, and she could not tolerate other people's irresponsible remarks.

After hearing this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Although Gu Hanyu has not yet reached the realm of heaven and human beings, her status is naturally extraordinary due to her attainments in medical and alchemy skills, as well as being the disciple of Master Alchemy Cauldron.

However, although they stopped talking, everyone was still curious.

"I wonder who the second candidate is?" an ancestor asked cautiously.

Gu Hanyu said calmly: "The next candidate is Rogue Cultivator Si Xinghai."

"Si Xinghai?"

All the big guys are at a loss.

Although the Alchemy Master had already let out the news before and expressed his admiration for Rogue Cultivator Si Xinghai, which made everyone somewhat mentally prepared, the actual announcement still made people secretly unhappy.

The Alchemy Master accepts three disciples, which is already the limit. Accepting a casual cultivator means that there will be one less place for the disciples of the aristocratic family.

But Master Alchemy Cauldron is, after all, a monk in the Zifu Realm, and he is also an extremely rare alchemy master in the Zifu Realm. How can such a person be coerced? Therefore, no matter how unhappy I feel, I can only swallow it back.

Gu Hanyu ignored the twists and turns in their hearts. After announcing the second candidate, she looked at Si Xinghai with soft eyes: "Junior brother Si, congratulations."

Si Xinghai quickly put away his indifferent attitude and bowed down to salute honestly: "Thank you, senior sister, for your support."

Although there was joy in his eyes, he did not get carried away because of being selected. Instead, he was more polite than before.

Seeing this, many of the big guys present nodded secretly.

This guy has a good mind and is quite stable.

Coming from a casual cultivator, whether it is cultivation or alchemy, they face far more difficulties than the children of aristocratic families. Naturally, they can endure a lot more hardships and are more mature than the children of aristocratic families of the same age.

The young alchemists looked at Si Xinghai with complicated eyes, a little envious and unwilling.

Now that the last spot is left, there is a high probability that Master Danding will choose Dongfang Yuxi. They probably have no chance.

Only Dongfang Yuxi still stood with her eyes half-closed and her arms crossed, as calm and relaxed as she stood on the mountaintop.

"Haha~ Whoever the Master chooses to be his disciple will naturally have the Master's plan." Elder Qian Jingde said with a smile, "Fairy Gu, don't try to hide yourself any more. Is the last one going to be Dongfang Yuxi or Yuwen Nianjing?"

These are the two most likely ones. However, everyone knows that the Yuwen family is not a fifth-grade Zifu family after all, and Master Danding will not necessarily give up Dongfang Yuxi, who has more potential, for it.

As soon as this statement came out.

Yu Wen Jinghong and Dongfang Bohua both became slightly nervous. There was any possibility before an official announcement was made.

Gu Hanyu closed her pretty eyes slightly, glanced meaningfully at Wang Shouzhe, who was calmly drinking tea, and said in a calm tone: "The third disciple accepted by Master is Wang Shouye of the Wang family in Changning."

"What?"

The whole place was silent, especially the old man and the young man from the Dongfang family, who were shaken and looked in disbelief. Countless eyes fell on Wang Shouye. Wang Shouye was nervous and looking around.

After listening to their discussion, he had already thought that he was out of luck, and he was feeling extremely guilty, feeling that he had failed in his family's cultivation, but he never thought that good luck would hit him on the head.

"You kid, that's fine." Qian Xuefu slapped Wang Shouye on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Obviously he is good at alchemy and has a lot of connections in the family, but he pretends to be so naive that he doesn't know anything. .”

Wang Shouye smiled innocently and said: "This, I really don't know..."

Near him, a group of young people who had passed the examination stared at him with complicated eyes.

Especially Yuwen Nianjing's eyes were a little faint.

If Wang Shouye did not have a strong backing, she would be the first to not believe it.

After all, her Yuwen family ancestor came forward in person and was given a heavy gift to Master Aland Cauldron. Her results were almost the same as Wang Shouye's, but she was squeezed out by Wang Shouye. Obviously, this was the result of the Changning Wang family's manipulation behind the scenes.

Wang Shouye looked puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the fourth brother was behind all this?

He looked at Wang Shouzhe from a distance, but saw that the fourth brother was still calm as usual, as if everything had been calculated.

Then the most unacceptable person on the scene was Dongfang.

Dongfang Bohua jumped out and said: "It's impossible. This is simply impossible. Our family Dongfang Yuxi won first place in this assessment. Why is this boy from the Wang family selected?"

In extreme anger, his beard spread out like an enraged old lion.

Gu Hanyu seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and said calmly with half-closed eyes: "Old Ancestor Bohua, please calm down for a moment. This is the master's wish."

What does Master Aland Cauldron mean?

Dongfang Bohua's eyes showed fear, but he immediately said excitedly: "I want to see Master Alchemy and ask him for a clear explanation." There was something in his words that meant to question Master Alchemy.

Gu Hanyu's face turned cold and he sternly rebuked: "Ancestor Bohua, please be careful what you say. The master has already made a statement before the assessment, and the results of this assessment are only for reference. The master has his own decision on who to accept as a disciple. After considering it, I don’t allow you to point fingers here.”

What she said was very rude, and it was true. The Dongfang family was just a declining seventh-grade family, so what qualifications did they have to question the master?

Dongfang Bohua's face turned red, and he hurriedly bent down to explain: "Miss Hanyu may have misunderstood the old man's meaning. The old man was just too shocked and confused."

Master Alchemy has a good temper, but he is a dignified master after all, and not everyone can question him. If he really offends him, Dongfang's future may be extremely difficult.

This is the tragedy of the family's weak strength. No matter where you go, you have to look at people's faces.

Also looking very ugly was Dongfang Yuxi, whom the old god was sure to win before.

At this time, his face turned red and white, and he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out in his heart: "Logically speaking, we and other juniors naturally dare not speak nonsense about the Master's decision. But I, Dongfang Yuxi, have spent a lot of money for this assessment. Tried my best.”

"Since the Master chose Wang Shouye, I must have something unique about him. I would like to consult with him. No matter what the final result is, I am convinced."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene had different expressions. Some were secretly gloating about the misfortune, while others were worried for Mr. Wang.

After all, what Dongfang Yuxi said was reasonable and reasonable, and she was just asking Wang Shouye for advice. If Wang Shouye did not dare to challenge, once the matter was publicized, it would be detrimental to the reputation of Master Danding and the Changning Wang family.

However, Dongfang Yuxi was obviously just looking at what others were doing, and did not target Si Xinghai or Qian Xuefu. She obviously felt that the Changning Wang family was just a seventh-grade family that was easy to bully.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Shouzhe. He was the head of the Wang family, and it was he who had the final say whether to accept the challenge or not.

Wang Shouzhe glanced at the two Dongfang clans. This time he used his personal connections to suppress the other party. But the world is like this. Otherwise, why would he, Wang Shouzhe, develop his family's power and carefully manage his personal relationships at the same time?

In order to manage her connections, Wang also made great efforts.

This is not a stand-alone game, just chopping melons and vegetables along the way.
