Volume 3: Stormy Chapter 337: Madness and Resolution
With the outbreak of the Huang Ning incident, everyone's attention was once again drawn to the capital, the best place for life.
After all, today is the day for the other eight bosses to make the final vote on the candidate for the ninth position.
As usual, Zhang Zhiwei had no idea about this kind of meeting, so he simply handed it over to Lu Jin, and let Lu Jin vote on his behalf.
The friendship between the two is still very deep, and they will not fall out because of the slap on XLGL.
It was Lu Jin who sent Zhang Zhiwei back in the first place.
As for Master Jiekong, he directly asked Mu You from Jianghu Xiaozhan to vote on his behalf.
So, in the conference room, six people sat around a round table in silence.
"Old Lu, hold back a bit..."
Lu Jin said, "Did you take some choking medicine today? Why are you so angry?"
Even if they were not sitting next to Lu Ci, everyone could feel the murderous intent emanating from Lu Ci.
Lu Ci rarely snorted, but just suppressed his anger and said: "Old Lu, I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me!"
Seeing Lu Ci acting out of character, Lu Jin looked at him for a long time and said nothing.
A truly crazy person cannot be measured by common sense. Now that Lu Ci can talk to you calmly, it means that this old hedgehog is on the verge of exploding. If you are not careful, a fight may break out.
So the best solution at this time is for no one to provoke him.
"Now that we're here..."
Wang Qichang said, "Then Pavilion Master, if we count the number of times, this meeting should be hosted by you."
“…”
Looking at the man sitting there motionless like a rock, everyone was waiting for him to speak.
"Um!"
After a while, Ru Hu finally spoke, and said in his heavy and powerful voice: "Since it's my turn, I will host it."
Looking at the people in front of him, Na Ruhu said, "I believe that all the seniors have already seen the list of candidates for the ninth man, so I won't waste my words, let's start voting directly."
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Ci spoke up at this time, "Before we vote, we need to confirm one thing."
Lu Ci's eye, which had a shocking scar on it, slowly opened and pointed at Huang Ning's name and said, "We need to investigate Huang Ning's background further."
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally quiet hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Even Chen Jinkui, who used to like to make jokes, didn't say anything. After all, this guy was also stuck in the quagmire of the Eight Great Skills.
He and Wang Ye were also preparing for the third trial of "sincerity", and the two agreed to hold it after the Nine Lords Conference.
"Senior Lu, how do you want to check?"
Ru Hu glanced at Lu Ci sideways. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he was just discussing the matter.
"Easy, soul search!"
Lu Ci still said the answer that everyone knew in their hearts, the Lu family's soul-searching technique was definitely the strongest one.
As for other secret techniques, no matter it is the soul-searching talisman, the possession of evil spirits, or the soul-binding technique, they all cause irreversible harm to the person being cast.
Only this Soul-Clearing Technique can be said to be a magical skill with little damage and quick results.
Now Lu Ci proposed to use the soul-searching technique to search Huang Ning. Even a fool could guess that Huang Ning would not be willing to have his soul searched by Lu Ci.
"Soul searching is a bit too much..."
Lu Jin frowned, "Besides, Huang Ning is the leader of a sect after all. If we search the soul of the leader of a sect like this, it will seem a bit overbearing if it gets out."
Lu Ci glanced at Lu Jin. This hypocrite was still as annoying as ever.
But Lu Ci is crazy , not stupid. Crazy and stupid are two different concepts.
"If you don't accept the soul search, forget it..."
Lu Ci put his hands in his pockets and smiled, but this smile made people feel horrified. "But let me make it clear first, if Huang Ning doesn't accept the soul search, he won't be able to come in. If anyone sitting here wants to vote for him... hehe!"
“…”
The people present were also silent. It seemed that Mr. Lu was determined to search Huang Ning's soul.
Everyone had a certain understanding of what had happened before, and they also knew that the Lu family did not have any soul-clarifying techniques before forty-four years ago.
As for how this soul-clarifying technique came about, just look at the Wang family's technique of summoning spirits and sending generals.
This Huang Ning is really...
"Master Lu, what if Huang Ning didn't become a master through Shuangquanshou?"
Mu You, who was sitting silently at the side, said, "Just like what Master Lu said, it would be a bit too much to search the soul of a new boss. If it gets out, it will damage our dignity!"
"How about this ..."
Mu You cleared his throat and said, "I remember that the Soul-Reading Technique can tell whether a person is lying. How about we test the truth of what he said first instead of searching his soul?"
“…”
Lu Ci thought about it with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly: "Humph! What if he doesn't know that it is a Shuangquan hand? We can't find out without searching his soul."
"So what do you mean?"
After Chen Jinkui heard Lu Ci's familiar cold snort, he knew that Lu Ci could accept Mu You's suggestion, but in terms of the specific implementation method...
"Simple. If Huang Ning became a master with his own ability, then there is nothing wrong with him joining us, but..."
Lu Ci tapped the table with his finger and said, "If he relies on external forces, then I'm telling you, he can't even think of stepping through this door."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly. Lu Ci was right. If he relied on external forces to reach the position of Grandmaster, he would not be qualified to sit at the same table with them.
This is a "big seat", not just anyone can sit on it.
After some discussion, everyone announced today's results.
The other side.
At Huang Ning's residence, he was looking at the latest announcement. He exerted a little force with his palm and crushed the phone in his hand.
This is too much!
This is simply going too far!
What kind of "sincerity test" do you have to take when you join the gang?
Why!
Huang Ning became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He didn't want to join the Nine Lords in the first place, but because of the setbacks that the Truth Seeking Society had encountered in recent years, they had been slightly weakened and now was the time when they needed to replenish their energy, so he had to participate in this selection of the Nine Lords.
And then there was the news...
He had been transformed by the Shuangquan Hands. Logically speaking, he had been transformed, but he really didn't know that thing was the Shuangquan Hands.
He and Qu Tong had an agreement. Qu Tong would help him join the "gang" first, and after Huang Ning joined the "gang", he would provide convenience to Qu Tong...
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the hotel where Huang Ning was staying.
"who!"
Huang Ning glared and looked outside the door, only to hear a voice coming through the door into Huang Ning's ears, "Mr. Huang, our president wants to see you!"
