My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 78 Run!
He joined a female sect, had beautiful uncles, masters, uncles, sisters, and apprentices, was surrounded by beauties all day long, and had a successful martial arts exam, was well-known in the martial arts world, a typical Da Qi dream, a perfect management-style martial arts world! But one day, he was framed and falsely accused by Fenglin Huoshan, was suspected of being a demon sect, was deprived of his fame, had a tainted criminal record, was cut off from the martial arts exam, and was stripped of his lordship. The world was so big that he had nowhere to go, and his sect was also swallowed up...

No! ! ! ! !
——Does it look familiar?

Such a scene is about to happen in Lin County!
Unless Li Bailong can make the most important decision in his life!
Prove to everyone that he has the talent and ability to make a living by doing nothing!
Join the ranks of the Cao Gang!

Become the elite among millions of canal workers!
Let the Caobang logistics system and financial services benefit the entire Da Qi!

Become a Dragon King!

No more forbearance!

Become a—Cao! Bang! Zhui! Xu!

Faced with the proposal of his seventh uncle, Li Bailong was stunned and such thoughts flashed through his mind.

He even composed a piece of music himself.

"no!"

Then, he heard the second uncle's angry shout.

Even the master was startled by the roar and immediately jumped up: "No!"

She glared at her seventh sister and said angrily, "What a stupid idea! Marrying into her family? You guys are dreaming!"

Miss Ma was wearing a veil, so it was hard to see her expression. "What are you talking about? The Cao Gang is not a very important sect, but being the son-in-law of the leader won't be a disgrace to Li Bailong, right?"

There is no way to refute this statement. The Cao Gang is one of the six major factions and occupies a place that is a thoroughfare to the world. The lifeline of the Great Qi Dynasty, the magnificent Grand Canal, is under its control.

The future and status of a son-in-law who can become the leader of the Cao Gang is naturally invaluable... After all, this is not some royal son-in-law. In the Cao Gang, a son-in-law can also be in power!
Uncle Seven said, "Isn't this a good idea? Fenglin Huoshan thought Li Bailong had no roots, so they picked him. This is their strategy and also an opportunity to fight back. Once Li Bailong becomes the eldest brother's son-in-law, who would dare to say that he is secretly communicating with the Demon Sect? He can even use the situation to his advantage and make the opponent flee in disgrace, and the Fenglin crisis will be ended on the spot."

The noble lady said leisurely, "In this case, Baihua Valley doesn't have to side with anyone and can still be an independent sect. Li Bailong will marry into the Cao Gang and have a promising future. Isn't that a good thing for both of us?"

The master was obviously really angry. Generally speaking, one would become furious when he had no way to refute something.

She started to attack me in a very uncultured way: "How dare you say such a thing! You suffered a lot from the forced marriage, how could you harm the younger generation like this?"

The uncle-master was not angry at all, and said calmly: "First of all, I am marrying someone else, and he is marrying into the family, so how can it be the same?"

"..."

Jiang Lishu was completely choked.

"Secondly, it was my eldest brother who brought it up. I was just passing on the message. Besides..." Her calm eyes actually curved slightly. "Does Li Bailong have a sweetheart? If so, this matter ends here."

"he……"

Jiang Lishu was speechless for a moment. Before he could say anything, Lian Yueyao said, "It doesn't matter whether there is one or not! How can a disciple of Baihua Valley marry into another family, change his surname or move to another clan?"

Uncle Seven said calmly, "Why don't you ask him what he thinks?"

The second uncle and the master did the lion head shaking movement in perfect sync.

"..."

What a terrible look!

What’s even more terrifying is the howling that erupts in my mind.

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

Aozi howled like a ghost, screaming wildly, "We have never met, but the matchmaker has made the engagement. I tell you, this is the most terrifying thing in the world! ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Even though he was used to hearing stories about Long Aotian's friends, Li Bailong was still frightened by this tragic howl.

"..." He was confused and uncertain, "What's wrong?"

Aozi said painfully: "You don't even know how many people there are..."

"..."

Okay, that's enough, let's stop here.

He calmed himself down, and under the dangerous gazes of the elders in the room, he said frankly: "I have never met Mingzhu, the leader of the Cao Gang, and I don't know each other's character and personality. I don't want to decide my lifelong affairs just because of my future interests, current gains and losses, and the dangers I face. This is also unfair to the girl."

Ah, the approving look of Second Uncle Master!

——It’s so damn rare!
Uncle Seven seemed to have expected him to answer like this, and his tone remained calm: "If you don't make this choice, even if Baihua Valley sided with Xuanyuan Sect and forced Fenglin Volcano to retreat, the other party would not give up. At the very least, the stain of your secret communication with the Demon Sect will not be easily washed away, and your path to the martial arts examination and official career will be greatly affected."

In this world, martial arts feasts and martial arts examinations are almost the highest and even the only future for martial artists.

What's more, Li Bailong is extremely talented and has both moral integrity and ability. Not only has he made great progress in the martial arts examination, but he has also long been famous in the court. He can be said to have a bright future.

It was so great that even Li Bailong's elders couldn't bear to see him give up this path.

Under their silent gaze, Li Bailong hesitated for only a second.

Then he smiled calmly: "In life, how can everything go as one wishes? There are thousands of paths in the world, and the martial arts exam may not be the only way out. If Fenglin Huoshan can reverse black and white and cover the sky with one hand, and the turbid world can't restore my innocence, then this martial arts exam... It's better not to take it!"

Really loud.

Even the third lady from the Cao Gang who was listening outside the house couldn't help but cast a look of surprise.

The path to the martial arts examination is the path to heaven in the hearts of martial artists. Who can give it up easily?
Even Yue Yao was slightly shocked.

She remembered that three or two years ago, this kid had grown up and had many inconveniences in the valley. There were also rumors in the martial arts world, and the martial arts he practiced were quite incompatible with the inheritance of Baihua Valley. The head of the sect thought about it and decided to risk his reputation and ask Master Zhang of Xuanyuan Sect to accept this kid as his disciple. He actually succeeded.

The plan was to have been finalized, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened and Li Bailong's transfer to another school was blocked.

He was going to become the world's number one expert and the first disciple of the next headmaster of Xuanyuan Sect. He would undoubtedly reach the top in one step. In the future, when Master Zhang takes over as Daoist, with Li Bailong's qualifications and talents, he would be the fourth most important person in Xuanyuan Sect. Even if he works hard, it is not impossible for him to be designated as the successor to the headmaster...

But it failed.

He thought he was about to become a dragon, but he didn't expect that the world is unpredictable. Such a gap is tantamount to a noble prince becoming a beggar overnight. Who can bear it?

When she heard about this and saw the sect leader with a bitter face as he was going to convey the bad news, she followed him excitedly. She had expected to see the brat be heartbroken and distraught, but he was working on flood control at that time, wearing only a short shirt and covered in mud. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, then shrugged his shoulders.

"Forget it." He said, "It's fate, it's a bit unpleasant, but there's nothing I can do."

So he took his leave and went back to treat the sewage. At that moment, Lian Yueyao's mood was indescribable.

——She had originally thought that a handsome man with a naturally proud character and a heart as pure as ice was what a man should be like. However, all the imagined elegance and pride of being detached from the world were not as good as the shrug and smile covered in mud at this moment.

Now, facing the attention and invitation of the leader of the Cao Gang, on one hand, there is eternal wealth and glory in the future, and the current crisis is not to be feared, on the other hand, the road of martial arts is blocked and the stain of the Demon Sect is stigmatized from now on...

He said he would not take the exam.

Because he didn't want to spend his life with a woman he didn't know and didn't understand.

Lian Yueyao was a little dazed and lost for a moment. Her eyes involuntarily looked at her sixth sister, her third sister, and even her seventh sister. Everyone had a different expression, and seemed to be troubled by their own thoughts.

Such a major decision and sacrifice, and for whom was it made...

“——Good brother ahhhhhh!”

Aozi howled, "I knew you wouldn't betray me!"

This fellow was extremely moved, and said firmly: "If we don't want to take the exam, then don't take it! What's the big deal about the martial arts exam! Let's change the profit sharing! From now on, you get 60% of the power and I get 40%... No, you get 70% and I get 30%! Let's write a blast! Write a few blockbuster books! Max out the power! Then destroy the Fenglin Volcano!"

"..."

Make no mistake! It's not for you, idiot! How disgusting!

However, the path to the military examination is indeed not that important to Li Bailong. In comparison, although being a son-in-law of the Cao Gang sounds rich and glorious, is it so easy to be a son-in-law?

The leader of the Cao Gang is not a philanthropist. Recruiting Li Bailong as his son-in-law is a slap in the face of Feng Lin Huoshan. He is willing to take the risk of conflict between the two families to recruit Li Bailong. He must want a military advisor... The relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is not like pen pals. The strong father-in-law forces you to do things you don't want to do. How should you, a son-in-law, deal with it?

Just then, Seventh Uncle broke the silence.

"If you don't agree, you won't have to worry about your chances of taking the martial arts exam, and Baihua Valley will have to choose one sect to join. You won't be able to decide on your own future in gang affairs, and you will be controlled by others from now on."

Li Bailong's expression was slightly stagnant.

Wei Henglan finally spoke.

She said softly, "Our sect has been established for twelve years and has made some achievements in recent years. Our disciples are not so beautiful and unrivaled, but at least they are talented and well-educated. Therefore, fellow martial artists and famous families often come to us to propose marriage. If we, as elders, can designate the marriages of our disciples at will, then the connections and business scale of Baihua Valley will be much stronger than they are now..."

Third uncle glanced at Li Bailong and smiled, "But the world is unpredictable and unpredictable. Sisters have suffered a lot of emotional pain. They know that love is a lifelong event, so how can we throw it away lightly?"

"So, since the establishment of Baihua Valley, we have never used disciples' marriages to form alliances with powerful forces. Our sect should use upright means, talents, hard work and wisdom to establish ourselves in this world and set an example for women all over the world. We have achieved some results after twelve years, and we sisters are always proud of this..."

She changed the subject, and although her voice was soft, it was filled with a resolute and unyielding spirit: "Although powerful enemies are approaching us now, if we let our disciples go against their will and marry into the Cao Gang in exchange for peace in Baihua Valley, then from now on, how can we have the face to call ourselves an independent sect, autonomous and free?"

"If the head sister were here, she would agree with this."

Wei Henglan stared at Li Bailong with a burning gaze: "Since you are a disciple of Baihua Valley, you should respect your teacher and obey the orders of the sect. No matter what you think today or whether you have any concerns, Uncle Master orders you to not agree to be recruited by the Cao Gang and become a live-in son-in-law!"

Li Bailong let out a long breath and bowed, "Disciple will obey the master's order."

Uncle Seventh Master was calm and not angry when he saw that the matter had come to an end.

"In this case, there is only the middle strategy to go. Choose one of the two... No, this matter is serious and the head sister must make a dictatorial decision. Then we have to choose Xuanyuan Sect."

This matter is almost a done deal.

Ultimately, the relationship between Master Yang Ying and the Xuanyuan Sect is still important. If Baihua Valley must side with one faction, it must be the Xuanyuan Sect without a doubt - although Seventh Uncle has a closer relationship with the Cao Gang, if they choose the Cao Gang, then who will be the master, who will be the boss, and who should everyone listen to in the future?

Wei Henglan also knew this truth and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Uncle Seven said calmly, "Then the preferential treatment and various welfare benefits of the Cao Gang will be gone. You can continue your business, but you have to do it impartially."

"It makes sense."

Having chosen sides, there is no benefit in having the best of both worlds.

Wei Henglan said slowly: "In that case, our sect will restrain its disciples from today onwards, suspend all sect activities, stay indoors, and wait for the return of the head sister to discuss cooperation with Xuanyuan Sect."

When she said this, she let out a long sigh, and a tear rolled around in her eyes, but finally did not fall.

Incorporated into Xuanyuan Sect, it is no longer an independent sect, the theory of freedom
Although it is illusory, it is more important than Mount Tai when it comes to reality. First, the vanguard Lin Huoshan came to place the order. Although his attitude was overbearing, he also asked for favors with a large gift and followed the rules. Now that they have surrendered to Xuanyuan Sect, if Xuanyuan Sect has similar order requirements in the future, they only need to issue an order, and Baihua Valley will have to do it obediently.

Wei Henglan and Sect Leader Yang share the same ideals and aspirations. They want to establish a female sect so that women all over the world can live according to their own ideas... But after twelve years of hard work and lofty ambitions, they ultimately have to succumb to the power struggles of the martial arts world and the rules of the world. It seems that they have no say in the affairs of the world.

Everyone couldn't help but feel sad.

"Forget it, let's discuss it after the head sister comes back. Although joining Xuanyuan Sect does not bring freedom, it also has great benefits." Wei Henglan forced a smile and looked at Li Bailong again. "The most urgent matter is that Fenglin Huoshan has framed you and wrongly accused you. After our sect and Xuanyuan Sect have reached an agreement, we will definitely do our best to run around for you and ask Xuanyuan Sect to clear your name... Don't give up on yourself, you still have to take the martial arts exam."

"All disciples of our sect must make achievements in the martial arts examinations, gain a foothold in the government, and bring protection and glory to the sect. Otherwise, the so-called connections and backers of the Xuanyuan Sect and the Cao Gang are all external forces..."

When she said this, she choked up for a moment.

Li Bailong had remained silent until now. He stood up and bowed to his Third Uncle Master, saying, "One day, I will make Baihua Valley independent of Xuanyuan Sect, hold its head high, and stand on its own in the world."

Wei Henglan nodded and smiled at him: "Of course it is... It's getting late, let's all rest first."

Today's shocking event happened. It is already midnight and the discussion has come to an end. Joining Xuanyuan Sect will be able to deal with today's predicament, but no matter what, the price is too high.

Li Bailong followed his master back to the sect's residence with a gloomy expression.

In his mind, Long Aotian said in a deep voice: "Any ideas?"

"Have."

Li Bailong replied gloomily: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to take the martial arts exam. Fenglinhuoshan will not let it go. However, there is another heavy blow... The other party's idea of ​​slandering me as a member of the Demon Sect is to first identify Long Batian as the author of the Demon Sect, and then expose me as Long Batian. If these two things are combined, if they are not combined, they can threaten Baihua Valley. If they are combined, they can nail me down. In other words, no matter how this matter ends, Long Batian, the alias, is probably inseparable from the Demon Sect..."

Aozi heard that it was serious, and said angrily: "Then the imperial book can't be written anyway!?"

"can!"

Li Bailong said murderously, "It's just that I can't write in Lin County or even in Jiangbei Road... It just so happens that I can't pass the martial arts examination and can't write. There's no point in practicing martial arts step by step in Baihua Valley. I might as well run away! Run to the territory of Lingyu Sect, run to the territory of Xuanyuan Sect, run to the territory of Master Yang, or even just run to the surrounding small countries or even Beining. Anywhere is fine. I'll write a lot there, accumulate enough willpower, and then come back to blow up Fenglin Volcano. It's just..."

He grinned grimly, "Even if I want to run away, I won't feel at ease if I don't give Wen Renzhuo a tough fight before I leave!"

Well, the future plot development is not exactly as described in this chapter. Please be patient and you will know after reading this volume. Anyway, you can never guess it!
