Lin Zhenguang went straight to the point on the phone, bluntly speaking about the stone temple.
Luo Liang knew that the Lin family was a little anxious.
This was not only a showdown, the situation was almost to the point of revealing the dagger.
Such a reaction was completely within Luo Liang's expectations.
Today, he deliberately sent Lin Qingqing off so that he could force the Lin family.
"Where do you want to talk?" Luo Liang asked.
"Tomorrow at four o 'clock in the afternoon, the Agarwood House in Tiandu City. The Lin family will hold a banquet. I hope Childe Luo will come."
Lin Zhenguang's tone was sincere and inviting.
"Okay."
Luo Liang readily agreed.
Hanging up the phone.
The smile on Luo Liang's face carried a hint of interest.
His big net had been laid.
No matter what decision the Lin family made, for Luo Liang, it was like watching a play on the stage.
He was both a spectator and a player in the play.
"Arnold, you inform the security consultant of our manor, tell her not to leave Tiandu City in the next three to five days, and to be on standby."
Luo Liang dialed a phone number.
"Security consultant? Okay, okay, no problem. "
Arnold immediately understood, and there was a little expectation in his tone.
These days.
The headmistress of Beichen called him from time to time, asking about his well-being, hoping to get an assignment.
Arnold was also a little annoyed. If he didn't sternly reprimand her, the headmistress would probably come to wash the bathroom or something.
Now there may be an opportunity to serve, the headmistress would probably be very happy.
… …
The next afternoon.
Tiandu City, Xiling District.
In the center of the bustling old town, there was a quiet mountain forest next to a stream.
In the faintly fragrant garden, some quaint pavilions and courtyards could be vaguely seen.
Occasionally, some low-key luxury cars passed through strict security checks and entered the private club in the mountain forest.
"It's worthy of the legendary 'Agarwood House', quiet in the bustling old town, with such a quiet and elegant environment."
A luxurious Clover car landed and accepted the security check.
In the car, there were five or six young men and women, dressed like students. Two or three of them curiously looked around the Agarwood Residence.
"It's hard to book a place in Agarwood House. Through my connections with the vice chairman, I was able to get a small room a month in advance."
A young man with loose curly hair said.
"Department Head Zhan is amazing!"
"I heard that only the truly powerful and wealthy people of Sky City, or even the entire planet, can reserve a seat in Agarwood House."
"Minister Zhan should come here often."
A few students smiled and said with a hint of flattery.
Minister Zhan smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I've only been here a few times."
"The most difficult part of Agarwood House is the single courtyard loft. For ordinary private rooms, those who are not the top notch rich and powerful can still hope to book one if they spend a little more time. "
Minister Zhan spoke objectively and did not deliberately exaggerate.
At the back of the carriage.
A young man with gold-rimmed glasses and a beautiful girl with a fresh and tranquil temperament sat side by side.
If Luo Liang was present, he would definitely recognize the two of them.
They were his cousin Jiang Feng and his cousin Luo Feixuan.
"Big Brother Jiang Feng, this is my first time coming to a place like this.
I'm a little nervous, "Luo Feixuan's beautiful face showed a hint of nervousness, but she could not hide the anticipation and excitement in her eyes.
"It's okay. This is my second time here."
Jiang Feng said with a smile.
The six people in this luxurious flying car, other than Luo Feixuan, were all students of Sacred Emblem Super Academy.
Among them, the young man with curly hair, "Department Head Zhan", was the leader.
Department Head Zhan was a department head of the Student Council. His family background was slightly better than the Jiang family, and he had a lot of connections in the academy.
Jiang Feng had a good relationship with him.
This time, he used the "Agarwood House" gathering to invite Luo Feixuan out.
During the summer vacation, at Luo Liang's graduation banquet, Jiang Feng and Luo Feixuan were originally interested in each other.
But because of Luo Liang's mischief, causing Jiang Feng to embarrass himself in front of Lan Yuehai, Luo Feixuan ignored him for a long time.
But this time.
Luo Feixuan could not resist the temptation of the mysterious legend of Agarwood House. After all, she yearned for the upper-class society and hoped to change the fate of ordinary families.
"Jiang Feng, take care of your friend later."
Department Head Zhan turned around and said.
"Don't worry, Department Head Zhan."
Jiang Feng nodded with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.
On the flying car was a group of three men and three women.
Department Head Zhan and the other two men had "crowdfunded" to come to such a mysterious high-end place. Their main purpose was to raise their value and increase the success rate of picking up girls.
Through this method.
Department Head Zhan had gotten a few beauties that scored eight or nine out of ten. Among them, there was no lack of high-quality beauties with good family backgrounds and temperaments.
Of course.
Jiang Feng also understood the other meaning in Department Head Zhan's words.
Luo Feixuan was a student of Sky Blue Academy. Her family background was ordinary, and it was her first time coming to such a place.
Asking him to take care of her meant that he did not want Luo Feixuan to do anything that was "inexperienced".
From this, it could be seen that.
In the chain of despise of the three major Super Academies.
Beichen and Sacred Emblem were not convinced of each other. But overall, Beichen had the advantage in terms of reputation and background.
Sky Blue Academy was at the bottom of the chain of despise.
At the entrance of Agarwood House, Department Head Zhan and the others had completed their security check and were about to let them pass.
Whoosh!
At this time, a flying car descended from the sky and stopped at the entrance of Agarwood House halfway up the mountain.
"Flying car?"
Department Head Zhan and the others were stunned.
A handsome young man in casual clothes walked down from the flying car.
Looking at his age, the young man should be a university student.
Agarwood House was the top of Tiandu City. It was an extremely high-class mysterious clubhouse. The guests it received were either rich or respectable.
It was extremely rare for someone to be sent flying here.
To most of the guests here, buying a flying car was no different from buying a toy.
"Did we come to the wrong place?"
Department Head Zhan and the others looked at each other and guessed.
Because in Tiandu City, there were also high-end places with similar names like Agarwood House and Agarwood Pavilion. It was normal for someone to make a mistake.
"Brother …"
A gentle and joyful girl's voice sounded.
Luo Feixuan rolled down the window and waved at Luo Liang who got down from the car.
This action made Department Head Zhan and the others frown.
They paid a price to come to Agarwood House in pursuit of style and a kind of spiritual satisfaction.
Luo Feixuan's family background was the worst among them.
Bringing her here was giving Jiang Feng face.
But now.
Luo Feixuan greeted a "brother" who flew down in front of everyone.
With Luo Feixuan's family background, her brother was probably a nobody. It was obviously a misunderstanding that he flew here.
"Feixuan."
Luo Liang walked over with a smile.
Luo Feixuan happily got down from the car and complained that Luo Liang had never contacted her when he came to Tiandu City.
Luo Feixuan had contacted him once or twice. But Luo Liang was either training or cultivating. He had no time and no interest in looking for her.
"Cousin."
Jiang Feng waved his hand and was about to get down from the car, but Department Head Zhan quietly pulled him back.
"Jiang Feng, it's just right that the six of us are in pairs. If we suddenly add another person, I'm afraid it will ruin the atmosphere. "
Department Head Zhan lowered his voice and looked slightly unhappy.
Jiang Feng had already brought one person to pick up girls. Department Head Zhan had a good relationship with him and agreed to it.
If Jiang Feng were to bring in another cousin who was not that powerful, then it would be quite ungrateful of him.
"Brother Zhan, you misunderstood."
Jiang Feng quickly smiled apologetically.
"My cousin's family is not normal. It shouldn't be hard for him to get a table in Agarwood House."
Seeing Department Head Zhan's doubtful expression, Jiang Feng understood.
Since Luo Liang flew over and was Luo Feixuan's brother.
If Luo Liang's family was very powerful, then Luo Feixuan's family would not be that bad.
"Alright, I won't call him over."
Jiang Feng could only promise.
Only then did Department Head Zhan nod in satisfaction.
"Let's go."
Luo Feixuan still wanted to chat, but a girl on the flying car urged her impatiently.
"Your friend is calling, go."
Luo Liang waved his hand.
Luo Feixuan wanted to say something but stopped and returned to the flying car.
She did not know if Luo Liang had a table in Agarwood House. She had forced herself to get in, so she did not want to invite him.
Back in the car.
Luo Feixuan felt that the atmosphere had changed slightly.
Department Head Zhan and the others glanced at her. They were not as friendly as before, but had a faint sense of coldness and rejection.
A group of six people entered Agarwood House and let the security guard park the car.
According to the rules of Agarwood House, foreign cars were not allowed to travel freely in the mountains. Most of the guests walked to blend with the style of the environment.
At this moment.
On the mountain road, a quaint carriage came toward them.
There were two black horses in front. They were tall and handsome, with pure black and shiny hair. They were extremely rare aristocratic bloodlines.
In front of the carriage, a beautiful woman in an ancient green dress sat with her legs crossed. She was at least 1.72 meters tall and looked elegant and dignified.
"What a beautiful ancient style sister."
Several girls, including Luo Feixuan, could not help but exclaim.
"The carriage is being received by a lady."
Department Head Zhan could not hide the surprise in his eyes.
He explained, "In Agarwood House, only the distinguished guests of the Tianzi Courtyard can enjoy such a standard carriage reception."
Everyone subconsciously looked back.
They saw the elegant carriage stopped at the door of Agarwood House.
To be exact, it stopped in front of a young man.
"This … is impossible?"
Department Head Zhan and the others, with their throats agitated, subconsciously denied.
"Mr. Luo."
The beautiful woman in green got down gracefully. She bent her knees and bowed to salute.
"You are the distinguished guest of Tianzi Courtyard No. 6. I am responsible for receiving you and sending you to your destination."
The beautiful woman in green raised her hand to greet. Her voice was beautiful, like an ancient lady.
"Okay."
Luo Liang did not refuse. He stepped on the wooden steps and entered the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious, with tea, snacks, and fruits.
The two black horses in the carriage seemed to be human. They did not need anyone to control them and moved forward smoothly.
Luo Liang could see that they were domesticated and controlled by a beast tamer.
The beautiful woman in green walked into the carriage. Her every frown and smile were pleasing to the eye. She was like an ancient lady who was well-educated and considerate.
The carriage drove past Department Head Zhan and the others.
Jiang Feng and Luo Feixuan looked at each other. Because of their past experience, they were only a little surprised.
Department Head Zhan and the others were either shocked or bewildered. The other two girls who were shy blushed and felt a little hot.
Department Head Zhan was a little embarrassed.
He wanted to ask Jiang Feng something, but he stopped.
Jiang Feng had just told him that his cousin's family was not ordinary.
"This is more than ordinary …"
Department Head Zhan's expression was complicated. He could not help but feel a little annoyed.
Jiang Feng's description was too subtle.
If he had known that Jiang Feng's cousin had such a big background, he would have acted so arrogantly. How could he have acted so high and mighty just now? He didn't even bother to get out of the car to greet them.
Department Head Zhan was quite popular in Sacred Emblem Academy. He especially valued his connections and resources.
…
A few minutes later.
Agarwood House, at the gate of a quiet courtyard with vines and flowers.
Five or six high-ranking members of the Lin family, dressed well, stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited.
"Luo Liang agreed to come to the appointment to discuss the opportunity of the stone hall. The owner of the land behind him should be alarmed."
The head of the family, Lin Zhenguang, stroked his beard and smiled.
"Of course. It's such a big opportunity. Luo Liang is just a spokesperson. To put it bluntly, he is just a kid. How can he make the decision? "
Blue-haired youth sneered.
Lin Qingshu shook his head slightly. "I talked to Luo Liang alone at the last auction. This young man is not as simple as you think."
"However, it involves such a big secret. I feel that Luo Liang really can't make the decision."
The Lin family invited Luo Liang out. In fact, they were more looking forward to negotiating with the owner of the land and finding out the details of his background.
According to the strength and background of the other party, they would decide the cooperation method and the distribution of benefits.
"Coming."
The carriage of the court lady came along the mountain path.
The Lin family gathered their attention and focused their eyes on the carriage.
"Mr. Luo, please."
The beautiful woman in the green dress lifted the curtain and raised her hand, respectfully sending Luo Liang off the carriage.
Just one person?
The high-ranking members of the Lin family looked at each other, very surprised.
It involved the opportunity of the descendants of the Heavenly Sun, and the owner of the land let Luo Liang come alone?
Could it be …
The other party was not sincere at all. They were just here to amuse them.
"What? You seem a little disappointed. You don't welcome me? "
Luo Liang was calm and unruffled, smoothing out the creases of his clothes, and said with a teasing tone.
Everyone from the Lin clan was startled and came to their senses.
Lin Qingshu and Lin Zhenguang looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.
The Lin family obviously had the advantage in numbers. In terms of experience, seniority, and cultivation, they crushed Luo Liang.
But at this moment.
The young man opposite them was calm and composed, with a faint questioning tone, and the playful attitude in his words, as if he was overlooking a circus in a zoo.
"No, no! Little friend Luo has already given the Lin family face by coming here. "
The family head Lin Zhenguang laughed, easing the atmosphere.
He took the lead, leading the crowd to welcome Luo Liang into the attic of the Tianzi No. 6 courtyard.
At this moment.
Dozens of meters away, in the Tianzi No. 5 courtyard diagonally opposite.
Several men with mediocre appearances were playing chess in the courtyard, or admiring flowers and drinking tea.
They seemed to be ordinary people, but they had the temperament of a superior. There were also several beautiful women chatting in the attic, dressed and talked with a noble air.
"The Lin family is also well-known in Tiandu City. So many people are welcoming him. Who is that young man?"
A fat middle-aged man laughed.
"Mayor Ma, Tiandu City is your territory. Which family is this young man from?"
"I don't know him."
The red-faced old man called Mayor Ma was playing chess with the man opposite him. Hearing this, he looked at the young man and shook his head.
The two people playing chess were the two people with the highest status in the courtyard.
The red-faced old man, Mayor Ma, was the leader of Tiandu City. Due to the supreme political status of the capital, he could be called a political figure on this planet.
"Hey!"
Mayor Ma casually glanced at the man playing chess opposite him.
He only saw the back of Luo Liang.
His pupils shrank, and his face suddenly changed. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Secretary Jones, do you know that young man?"
Mayor Ma asked in surprise.
This Secretary Jones was the secretary of Deputy Governor Locke.
And Lord Locke was expected to compete for the new Chief Governor of the planet and the highest political position in Cerulean!
Therefore, even if Secretary Jones's rank was lower than his, he could play chess with him, the leader of the capital, on an equal footing.
"He looks a bit familiar."
Secretary Jones smiled and his face returned to normal.
However, his heart was in turmoil.
He suddenly remembered what Lord Locke warned him at the graduation banquet.
"He is more important than the billions of creatures on this planet. If anything happens to him, Cerulean may be buried with him!"
Lord Locke was a big figure who was expected to reach the highest political position in Cerulean.
Secretary Jones didn't dare to question this.
Just a familiar face?
Mayor Ma observed the situation and felt that this matter was not that simple.
On this planet, there were many things that could move the secretary of the planet.
What's more, the higher-ups of the Lin Clan had personally welcomed a young man like Luo Liang. This was beyond the imagination of a student of the younger generation.
"I have an impression of this young man."
A mellow and pleasant woman's voice interrupted the conversation.
The speaker was a beautiful woman in her thirties with a plump figure and a dignified and noble aura.
"Lady Wei, you know this young man?"
The slightly plump middle-aged man who first started the conversation was surprised.
Lady Wei was the Lady In Silver Skirt who had dealt with Luo Liang at the Jill Manor Exhibition.
At the exhibition, Luo Liang helped Lady Wei see through the half-naked female statue of the cult sacrifice and won the praise of Master Fuehring.
Lady Wei also had another identity. She was the sister of Mayor Ma of Tiandu City.
Her surname was Wei, and she followed her husband's family outside the planet.
"Lan, tell me about it."
Mayor Ma was interested.
He guessed that Secretary Jones knew the background of this young man, but was unwilling to say because of some scruples.
"I don't know much. I only met him once."
Lady Wei explained.
"This young man's name is Luo Liang. He is a freshman in Beichen. I met him by chance at an exhibition. At that time, he showed amazing antique appraisal skills and was praised by Master Fuehring. "
Secretary Jones was relieved when he heard this. Lady Wei only knew some superficial information.
However.
The other people present felt that this young man was more and more mysterious.
A freshman was received by the senior members of the Lin family in person, moved the secretary of the planet, and was praised by the masters in the antique field.
All of these added up to an unfathomable mystery.
Political figures such as Mayor Ma of Tiandu City were full of curiosity.
"Secretary Jones, we have been friends for so many years. Can't you tell me more?"
Smiling from ear to ear, Mayor Ma lowered his voice and asked.
Jones couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that he couldn't hide from this old fox's eyes.
"I know a little more than Lady Wei, but I can't say."
Secretary Jones said helplessly.
Several political figures present looked as if they had expected this.
Secretary Jones was hiding something just now. He knew Luo Liang's background.
But he couldn't say.
These few words were full of meaning.
Could it be that this young man had a private relationship with Lord Locke?
For example, an illegitimate child.
"Secretary Jones, Lord Locke asked you to keep this a secret, right?"
Madame Wei had a faint smile on her face, as if she was trying to test him.
"Don't think too much. Luo Liang is not related to Lord Locke."
Secretary Jones looked serious, worried that these people would think too much.
This sentence dispelled their guesses.
If he was an illegitimate child, his status wouldn't be particularly high and he wouldn't have that kind of unfathomable mystery.
"We have been friends for many years. I can only say a few words at most."
Secretary Jones said.
"I'm all ears."
The political figures and noblewomen present couldn't help but pricked up their ears.
"Luo Liang, all of us here combined may not even be as valuable as a single finger of his!"
As soon as this remark came out.
Hiss!
The dignitaries in No. 5 Sky Courtyard were moved and couldn't help but secretly take a breath.
The dignitaries present not only had great influence in the political world, but also had family forces behind them as well as a network of intertwined relationships.
Such a huge amount of energy was enough to set off waves in all areas of Cerulean.
But in the eyes of Secretary Jones, they may not be as valuable as Luo Liang's finger.
No one doubted Jones's words. He was the spokesperson of Deputy Governor Locke. Judging from the relevant information, it might have come from this person who had the potential to become the most powerful person in Sky Blue Planet.
"Thank you for your advice, Secretary Jones."
There were a total of seven or eight politicians and noblewomen present, and they thanked him solemnly.
Jones said again, "This matter must be kept a secret. Don't spread it."
Everyone agreed. It was completely understandable. Most of the people with such an amazing background like Luo Liang had confidentiality measures.
"What a pity …"
Lady Wei's beautiful eyes flickered. She felt extremely regretful and regretful.
At the manor exhibition that day, Lady Wei smelled that Luo Liang was not simple. After all, he could be praised and valued by a master. At such a young age, he had superb appraisal skills.
At that time, Lady Wei felt a little regretful. She felt that she had missed an opportunity to expand her network.
Who would have thought that Luo Liang's background was almost heaven-defying and beyond imagination.
What made Lady Wei feel the most heartache was.
Luo Liang kindly reminded her at that time. Maybe he had a good impression of her.
This was an opportunity that was close at hand.
Lady Wei bit her red lips slightly. Because of the fluctuation of her emotions, the curves of her plump and beautiful body rose and fell.
She was annoyed. She was the top noblewoman in Cerulean's upper-class society. Many dignitaries and rich people were envious of her. She played them in the palm of her hand.
She, who thought highly of herself and had extraordinary vision, let this once-in-a-lifetime networking opportunity pass by.
