After paying the spirit liquid, Lin Bai received the identity token and walked into Blackwater City with Ban Ye and others.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Banye, does this Blackwater City actually have to pay so much spiritual liquid every month?"

Banye nodded and said: "Yes, this is a lot of income!"

Lin Bai asked: "Then where are these spiritual liquids used?"

Ban Ye smiled and said: "Basically, they were divided among the big families in the city!"

Lin Bai frowned.

Ban Ye said: "Brother Lin Bai also has influence in Blackwater City!"

"The first is the city lord. The city lord is the most powerful person in Blackwater City. He is extremely powerful and is responsible for managing everything in Blackwater City, such as waging war and plundering other cities, presiding over defense, etc.!"

"In addition to the city lord, there are eight major families in Blackwater City!"

"The Tang family is one of the eight major families. However, the Tang family has gradually declined over the years and is only at the bottom of the eight major families."

"And the current city lord of Blackwater City is a member of the Zhao family, one of the eight major families in Blackwater City!"

"Brother Lin Bai, do you know that for the position of city lord, the eight major families fought to death!"

Banye said with a wry smile.

Lin Bai asked curiously: "Why? Are there so many benefits to becoming a city lord?"

Ban Ye smiled and said: "Of course there is. In Blackwater City, the city lord is equivalent to an emperor. He has the full power to say what he says. The other eight major families must also obey the city lord!"

"With such great power, you naturally have to think about your family!"

"So in these years, because the current city lord is a member of the Zhao family, the power of the Zhao family has become more and more powerful in these years!"

"If nothing else, let's just say that the Zhao family accounts for three-tenths of the spiritual fluid allocated to each family every month!"

"The Zhao family has three tenths exclusively!"

"And the other seven major families are divided into three-tenths!"

"The remaining two-tenths are allocated to other small families in the city; the remaining two-tenths are used to maintain the magic circle of Blackwater City, or to recruit strong men!"

Hearing Ban Ye's explanation, Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Listen to what Uncle Ban Ye said, becoming a city lord is really tempting. The Zhao family actually monopolizes three-tenths of the spiritual fluid share!"

"And the other seven major families account for the other three-tenths!"

"This is not at all on the same level!"

Lin Bai said with a smile.

Banye said: "Yes, the most important thing is that in the battle between Blackwater City and Houtucheng a few years ago, the current city lord was seriously injured. It is said that the Zhao family spent a lot of money, but it still has no effect!"

"It is said... that the current city lord should not die!"

"And the other seven major families are also eager to try, preparing to nominate a strong person within their own family to become the city lord!"

"So, if the news that the city lord is critically ill really spreads in the near future, the other seven major families will probably take action!"

Banye said calmly.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "If it were me, I wouldn't want a warrior from the Zhao family to become the city lord again. There must be a fight for the position of city lord!"

"If you lose the fight, you're just surrendering. There's not much difference!"

"If we win the battle and the warrior of our family becomes the city lord, we can protect our family's stable growth for hundreds of years to come!"

"You can't lose this deal no matter what!"

Lin Bai nodded and said.

Ban Ye also smiled and nodded: "We're here, the Tang family is ahead!"

Lin Bai looked up and saw that at the end of this street, there was a continuous group of palaces. The buildings were extremely luxurious. At first glance, it was the residence of the leader in the city.

Ban Ye said: "The gentlemen and ladies are tired from traveling all the way. You should go back and rest first. I will take Brother Lin Bai to complete the guest examination!"

Those young men and women already had tired faces. After hearing Banye's words and seeing that they were home, they walked into the house with their tired bodies.

Lin Bai looked at these young men and women and said, "Are these the descendants of the Tang family? If the descendants of the Tang family are like this, it seems that the Tang family will not be able to stay in Blackwater City for a long time."

Ban Ye shook his head and said: "Yes! Over the years, the Tang family has indeed not produced many geniuses. The only genius who can use it is today...Tang Yuezhi!"

"Except for Tang Yue, among the current generation of young people in the Tang family, it is almost difficult to choose a talented person!"

"Stop talking about this, let's go, Brother Lin Bai, I will take you to take the guest examination."

Banye said.

"Okay!" Lin Bai followed Ban Ye.

If he wanted to stay in Blackwater City, Lin Bai must have an identity and a place to live.

At this moment, he had a good chat with these wild uncles, and Lin Bai felt there was nothing wrong with becoming a guest of the Tang family!

Soon, Lin Bai followed Ban Ye as he shuttled back and forth in the high-walled courtyard of the Tang family, and came to a palace where the plaque on the door read "Ke Qing Ju".

Immediately, Ban Ye walked in with Lin Bai.

"Ban Ye, you're back. I heard that you got a good job and went out to play with a few kids?"

"This is a good job. You can go out to have fun and earn some spiritual liquid at the same time."

As soon as I walked into the guesthouse, a middle-aged fat man inside smiled at Banye and said.

Banye shook his head and said: "Damn fat man, don't mention it, it almost scared me to death. I originally thought it was a good job, but these juniors insisted on going to the Forest of Earth Snakes to see it, and I almost couldn't come back!" "

The fat middle-aged man said in surprise: "Holy crap, you're crazy, take them to the Forest of Earth Snakes!"

Banye said helplessly: "Don't you know about those little ancestors? Can I resist their demands?"

The middle-aged obese man smacked his tongue and said, "It's good to be back safely! Is there anything you want to do when you come to Keqingju this time?"

Ban Ye smiled and said: "This is brother Lin Bai. He wants to join the Tang family and become a guest minister. I will take him to complete the guest minister examination!"

"Brother Lin Bai, this is mine. You can just call him Fatty. That's what we all call him anyway!"

Lin Bai cupped his fists and said, "Lin Bai has seen the fat uncle!"

The fat uncle looked at Lin Bai with a frown and whispered to Ban Ye: "Ban Ye, what's the matter with you? You invited him to be a guest guest like this. Look at this guy's appearance. He is younger than my son. He is qualified to be a guest guest." ?"

"Can you pass the assessment?"

Ban Ye whispered at this moment: "Fat man, don't underestimate him. Although he is not old, his swordsmanship is superb!"

"I advise you, don't provoke him, otherwise, you will be tortured alive by him!"

Banye said with a smile.

When he thought of the scene when Lin Bai was in the forest of earth snakes, where one man and one sword killed the whole world in darkness, Ban Ye felt terrified in his heart.

Even in the end, the Snake King of the Earth Snake Forest even gave him a gift to apologize!

This kind of strength is simply astonishing!

The fat uncle said: "Okay, since it was your recommendation, let him try it. But Brother Lin Bai, I also want to remind you that not everyone can be a guest of the Tang family. You You must have the strength to pass the assessment!"

"In the assessment, neither Banye nor I can help you!"

Lin Bai nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, and I will try my best!"
