After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 339 The temptation of the top ten!
Inside Tianqi Building.

Qi Shaoyan's expression changed a little when he took the list in Jiang Che's hand. Although he knew that with his own strength, he could not rank at the top in this martial arts battle.

But I didn't expect it to be ranked so low.

Directly ranked in the top 20.

If it were just that it would be fine, but the key is that the young masters of the other five major families are ranked higher than him, which is what makes him a little defensive.

As the young master of Beiling Qi family, he unexpectedly ranked last.

"Brother, don't underestimate yourself. You are only thirty years old now, while those from other noble families are all over forty years old. I'll give you a few more years.

It’s easy to surpass them.”

Jiang Che comforted his brother-in-law with a smile on his face.

But these words made Qi Shaoyan roll his eyes at him, with a helpless look on his face: "When the Martial Realm Battle begins, you must help me, big brother, and don't make my ranking look too bad."

To this day, Qi Shaoyan has already understood that Jiang Che is his greatest helper, both now and after he takes charge of the Qi family in the future. His father has already warned him of this.

"Don't worry, big brother. After all, you are my dearest relative, my brother." Jiang Che laughed and felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat dramatic.

Because just over half a year ago, Qi Shaoyan was still in a superior position, and being on good terms with him was just because you were Qi Wanjun, but now the situation has completely reversed.

"It's OK if you understand this sentence. By the way, this time I was invited to discuss Taoism with those young men from aristocratic families. They were very concerned about you and were quite dissatisfied with your rejection of the invitation.

When we meet in the future, don’t get into conflict over trivial matters.”

"Brother, don't you know who I am? As long as no one offends me, I will not offend anyone." This is Jiang Che's attitude. Now, he no longer cares about being a child of aristocratic family or the true teachings of a sect.

As one of the most outstanding talents in the court, Jiang Che's status is much stronger than imagined. This can be seen from the courtesy shown to him by several gods' messengers.

"You ah"

Qi Shaoyan shook his head, understanding the implication of Jiang Che's words.

But he couldn't say much about it.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Qi Shaoyan looked at Jiang Che, suddenly came back to his senses, and remembered some things that happened today.

"Ok?"

“Tomorrow at the Shenghai Pavilion, there will be a small gathering. It is a tradition of the Shenghai City in the past. It is hosted by the Shenghai City, and most of the young talents who are preparing to participate in the Martial Realm Battle will go there.

One is to discuss the Dao, and the other is to test the truth. How about that? Are you ready to go?"

"Everyone will go?"

"I think most of them will go. After all, this is Shenghai City, and we have to give them some face. By the way, Wanjun is also going to go, so you have to accompany her, right?"

With constant contact, Qi Shaoyan has gotten to know his brother-in-law's temper better. He rarely participates in anything that does not concern his own interests.

It's like some gathering of geniuses, which doesn't arouse any interest at all.

"you want to go?"

Jiang Che glanced at Qi Shaoyan, then turned his gaze to his fiancée who remained silent. Her temperament was different from Qi Ningbing's, and she was relatively more stable.

"It's not just the young geniuses who come to Shenghai City to participate in the war, there are also many daughters of noble families, some of whom are my good friends. Naturally, I have to take this opportunity to meet them."

Qi Wanjun told the truth.

Hearing this, Jiang Che frowned, then he looked at Qi Shaoyan, and then he understood the purpose of this gathering, which was definitely not just to discuss philosophy and make friends with each other.

I'm afraid there are still many tasks to be done in marriage.

Between aristocratic families.

Between the aristocratic families and the independent cultivators.

It can be said that as long as one shows his potential, he will be noticed by the aristocratic families. Even before the battle of martial arts begins, they will act quickly to win over the martial arts genius.

"In that case, let me walk with you."

Jiang Che sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless.

In fact, he himself was not very interested in discussing Taoism and making friends, especially at the moment when the battle in the martial arts realm was about to begin. Even if he made friends, wouldn't he still have to fight when the time came?

But since Qi Shaoyan and Qi Wanjun had already said so, he couldn't refuse.

However, although he was going to Shenghai Pavilion, Jiang Che still remained vigilant.

Be on guard against someone deliberately provoking you, and then pretend to be cool and get slapped in the face.

But in fact, Jiang Che was completely wrong.

Those who are qualified to go to Shenghai Pavilion are either the children of aristocratic families, the true disciples of a sect, or the powerful independent cultivators who have made their way from the martial arts world. All of them have very high intelligence.

Even if there is hatred or resentment, it will not explode regardless of the occasion.

There are even fewer moments when you pretend to be cool but then get slapped in the face.

The upper class people pay attention to self-cultivation.

The next day, at Shenghai Pavilion.

After a short rest, the three of them set off for their destination. They didn't even need to show any invitations, as the information about them was no longer a secret.

Directly let them pass.

It's also a kind of privilege.

Soon, several people climbed up to the top floor of the Shenghai Pavilion. At this moment, nearly a hundred figures had gathered here, some chatting and laughing, while several people were talking about the heroes of the world.

Here, Jiang Che even saw a very familiar figure.

The former young master of the Wei family, Wei Junjie.

When Jiang Che arrived, the atmosphere on the top floor suddenly became tense and depressing, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Che.

Some were curious, some were awed, some were indifferent, and some even looked contemptuous.

There are many different expressions.

But one thing is certain, that is, Jiang Che must be one of the focuses of Shenghai Pavilion today. As the world's number one genius praised by the gossipers in the world, Jiang Che has attracted too many people's attention.

He is also regarded as a strong rival by many.

Qi Shaoyan glanced at Jiang Che and gave him a look that seemed to say, you are really an eye-catching guy. As soon as you arrive here, you attract so many people's attention.

"Brother Qi, this is Young Hero Jiang Che, right?"

When the atmosphere was silent, suddenly, a voice broke the silence. A handsome young man dressed in a brocade robe walked up to Qi Shaoyan with a smile on his face and started chatting with him.

"good."

Qi Shaoyan nodded first, then looked at Jiang Che and introduced:
"This is the young master of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Buling."

"I've admired you for a long time."

Jiang Che paused slightly.

Huangfu Bushing is a famous figure in the Heiya Wu Ce, ranked ninth, which shows that he is not an unknown person.

"I have really admired you for a long time. Although Brother Jiang has only been rising for a short time, I have heard of your great name. I even sent someone to invite you yesterday."

"I had some important matters before, so I had to decline." "No problem, no problem. It's the same when we meet today. Come, Brother Jiang, I will introduce you to a few fellow Taoists." Huangfu Buling was very polite. He invited Jiang Che to speak less, and then walked into the small circle of several children from aristocratic families and started chatting.

The Young Master of the Ye Family, the Young Master of the Yuan Family, etc., were all very polite to Jiang Che on the surface.

As for Qi Wanjun, when she first showed up, she was surrounded by a group of daughters of aristocratic families, who asked her curiously about some matters concerning her marriage with Jiang Che.

She said that the elders in the family all used her as an example, and they had suffered a lot in recent times.

Qi Wanjun was also helpless about this.

Because even the original marriage was not decided by her, it was all arranged by the family.

On the other side, Lu Jieyun was also paying attention to Jiang Che. After looking at him for a while, his eyes were a little dazed. He was sure that there was absolutely no such person in his memory.

The other party's sudden rise made him somewhat suspicious.

"Brother Wei, could you introduce me to one or two later?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jieyun still wanted to get close to Jiang Che to test this person's true identity. He didn't know why, when he saw Jiang Che for the first time.

He had a vague premonition.

Jiang Che, very different.

It even concerns his future.

Wei Junjie was a little embarrassed. He had glanced at Jiang Che when he came in just now, and he also greeted Jiang Che, but it seemed that Jiang Che was not interested in him.

If Jiang Che doesn't give him face when introducing him later, he will really lose face.

"Wait a moment. After Brother Jiang finishes talking, you and I can go."

Wei Junjie whispered.

Giving Wei Junjie a suspicious look, Lu Jieyun nodded slightly, not urging him, but his eyes involuntarily followed Jiang Che's figure, his face showing a thoughtful look.

"I wonder what Brother Jiang thinks of the battle in the martial realm?"

After chatting for a while, Huangfu Buling suddenly changed the topic. The other young masters of the noble families also stopped talking at the right time and handed the initiative to Huangfu Buling.

After exchanging a glance with Qi Shaoyan, Jiang Che's eyes moved and he immediately shook his head:
"I wonder what Brother Bu Lingdao means by this?"

"I won't beat around the bush. In fact, I invited Brother Jiang for only one reason, and that is to form an alliance."

"An alliance?"

Huangfu Buling nodded solemnly:

“Yes, I think Brother Jiang has also learned about the battle of the alliance martial realm. In addition to the initial climb to the heavenly ladder, after entering the martial realm, it is a battle for the top ten positions.

But this position is limited. Looking back at all the previous martial arts battles, there has never been one as grand as this one, including the monk Sanzang from the Great Leiyin Temple, Li Xuanzhen from the Wuji Palace, and Chen Ping from the Tianjian Mountain.

Jiang Ping from Bailu Academy, as well as many other geniuses, are all very powerful, and they all have helpers. From what I know, both the Buddhist and Taoist factions have helpers.

In this way, we, the children of the noble families, will be somewhat weak, so what I want is for us to unite and compete for the top ten positions."

After hearing this, Jiang Che now understood the purpose of Huangfu Buling and his companions.

They want to borrow strength.

Use your own strength to fight for the top ten position.

But the problem is that this is of no benefit to Jiang Che at all.

With his strength, it might be an exaggeration to say that he could overwhelm all the heroes, but he would have absolutely no problem in grabbing a position at random. What's more, he had the help of those guys from Hei Ya.

But what about Huangfu Buling?

Although Huangfu Buling is the young master of the Huangfu family, his strength is barely among the top ten. As for the others, such as the young masters of the Ye family and the Yuan family, they are only slightly stronger than his brother-in-law.

How could Jiang Che abandon himself to help them?
This time he was aiming for first place.

Qi Shaoyan also had a suspicious look on his face. He stared at the young master of the Ye family and others for a few seconds, his face somewhat displeased, because before this, he had no idea about it at all.

Huangfu Buling and the others obviously did not take him seriously.

Seeing Jiang Che's thoughtful expression, the young master of the Ye family quickly said:

"As long as Brother Jiang can help us this time, there will be a generous reward afterwards, whether it is rare treasures, elixirs, or even..." Having said that, he glanced at a group of daughters of noble families gathered not far away.

Gave Jiang Che a hint.

As long as Jiang Che is willing to help, even if the Qi family is unhappy about it, they can still marry him. Among the six major families, the Beiling Qi family has always been in the middle and lower reaches.

Not as powerful as the Huangfu family and the Ye family.

is a better choice.

"Yes, I hope Brother Jiang can help us. We don't ask for much. As long as the three of us can get a place in the top ten, we will do our best to help Brother Jiang get the top five or even the top three."

Yuan Chu, the young master of the Yuan family, also echoed.

“I’m afraid this will disappoint you. After all, Jiang is an official appointed by the court, and I have other tasks to perform. Moreover, I will do my best to assist Big Brother when the time comes.

I’m afraid I can’t do much.”

Jiang Che refused directly.

What level of status do you have to ask for his help?

Three seats, it really is very easy to say.

It was obvious that they treated him as a casual cultivator and could do whatever they wanted.

"Brother Jiang, you can set any conditions you want. As long as Brother Jiang is willing to help, I will definitely meet Brother Jiang's conditions." Huangfu Buling said in a deep voice.

Before coming to the East China Sea, the head of the family had personally told him that no matter what means he used, it would be best if he could get a top ten position. This martial arts battle would be different from usual ones.

For warriors, it is of great help.

Although the patriarch did not specify what the benefits would be, Huangfu Buling still felt from the patriarch's words how seriously he took the matter, so he was determined to get a place in the top ten.

Normally speaking, with his strength, it would not be a problem for him to get a top ten position.

But the key point is that from the intelligence he collected, this time is somewhat unusual.

The other opponents were absurdly strong, some were reincarnations of Bodhisattvas, some were born with holy bodies, and they were simply not something ordinary people could deal with. So, he thought of forming an alliance.

He successively won over the young master of the Ye family and the young master of the Yuan family, and worked together.

But even so, they were still worried.

Finally, they set their sights on Jiang Che, who was the most popular person at the time. They had never seen Jiang Che, nor had they dealt with him, but they all knew how powerful Jiang Che was.

In this martial arts battle, he definitely has the potential to be in the top five or even top three.

If he is willing to help, then competing for the top ten position will be much easier.

For this reason, they immediately sent out an invitation when they learned that Jiang Che had arrived in Shenghai City. Unfortunately, Jiang Che did not give them face, and they could only chat with him in Shenghai Pavilion.
