Then many unfamiliar faces came in. Under Shi Weiyi's introduction, Jiang Beiran got to know them one by one, and inspected them with his mental strength.
"Ya's pedigree is really top..."
Except for himself and Shi Weiyi, there were twelve people present, three of them were Xuanzun, five were Xuanzong, and the remaining four juniors were all peak Xuanhuang.
It can be said that they are all human high-quality men and women.
At this moment, many of them were looking at Jiang Beiran, wondering why the sages had such high regard for this young man.
Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about why he hadn't started the meeting quickly, the door was opened again, and a figure walked in briskly.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, Tongtong is late."
'…'
'Wow... trough? '
The moment he saw the figure clearly, Jiang Beiran almost swears.
Because it was none other than the little girl who made Jiang Beiran most unpredictable, Shi Yutong.
'No wonder... It turns out that this girl is Shi Weiyi's granddaughter, no wonder she is so good at making trouble, she is simply a perfect inheritance of his grandfather's lineage. '
In an instant, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood why Shi Yutong knew that he was looking for Zhan Riliu.
If Shi Hongfang didn't know the news about Zhan Riliu, he would definitely come to the well-informed Shi Weiyi to ask, and then he was overheard by this little girl by accident.
Or... this little girl was sent by Shi Weiyi to find out about her
When Jiang Beiran was surprised, Shi Yutong who saw Jiang Beiran was also stunned for a moment, but she did not greet Jiang Beiran, but quickly averted her gaze.
"Yutong, you are out of shape! Come and sit down." At this moment, a middle-aged man on the table shouted.
"Yes~" agreed, and Shi Yutong trotted over immediately.
When Shi Yutong sat down, Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "This is my little granddaughter Shi Yutong. She is very talented and smart. I thought she would shine at the Bixiao meeting this time. …”
Looking at Shi Weiyi's glance, Jiang Beiran immediately cupped his hands and said, "This time about the Bixiao meeting..."
"Hey." Shi Weiyi waved his hand, "I didn't blame you, I just mentioned it casually."
'I believe in you...'
When Jiang Beiran complained in his heart, Shi Weiyi looked at Shi Yutong dotingly again and said, "Tongtong, this is the virtuous card appointed by the patriarch himself, don't hesitate to call someone."
After hearing this, Shi Yutong immediately stood up and yelled sweetly to Jiang Beiran, "I greet Mr. Xianpai."
Jiang Beiran responded after listening, "I met Miss Shi."
As for Shi Yutong's failure to show that he knew him in front of everyone, Jiang Beiran didn't know whether she was hiding from everyone that she knew herself, or whether she was hiding from herself that she was not sent by her grandfather to contact him.
The former shows that this girl has indeed studied him and knows not to cause trouble for him in public. The latter is the girl's way of expressing that she knew her, and none of her family knew about it.
There is no such thing as someone appointing her.
But whether it's the former or the latter, Jiang Beiran still thinks that this is a difficult girl.
As Shi Yutong entered the table, Shi Weiyi picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."
After a meal, Jiang Beiran had to sigh with emotion that there is no fish under the reputation. This Bajixian is indeed extremely delicious. No matter which method is used, Jiang Beiran has a brand new taste bud experience.
It is worthy of the six words of top aura ingredients.
Wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards Shi Weiyi and said, "Thank you sages for your hospitality, allowing the younger generation to eat such delicious food."
"Hohohoho, it's fine if you like it. If you like it, you will come here often." After speaking, Shi Weiyi looked at a middle-aged man on the left and said, "Pei Hao, how about the deal with Tiangangzong?" gone?"
Shi Peihao was taken aback after hearing this, and couldn't help looking at Jiang Beiran, the meaning was already obvious.
"It's okay, to put it bluntly, Beiran is not an outsider."
'Don't mind... I'm just an outsider, please don't get closer. '
Hearing Shi Weiyi say that he is not an outsider, Jiang Bei suddenly got goosebumps, and at the same time knew that Shi Weiyi's real purpose for inviting him to this banquet was about to surface.
While Jiang Bei was getting goosebumps, almost everyone at the table was astonished and looked at each other with the same expression on their faces.
'Whose daughter was kidnapped? '
Only Shi Yutong revealed a sly smile, thinking to himself.
'I knew that the patriarch would personally invite talents, and my grandfather would definitely not let them go. '
Seeing that Shi Peihao didn't answer for a long time, Shi Weiyi glared at him and said, "Why, don't you understand me?"
Hearing his father's anger, Shi Peihao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Returning to my father, the Tiangangzong deal is a bit difficult, please give me some more time, I will definitely be able to solve it."
"What difficulty?"
Before answering, Shi Peihao couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Beiran again, and then continued: "Now the Suitong Gu family is also planning for these Yunxing mines, and they have paid a high price. Now the Tiangang Sect has started to sit on the ground and raise the price."
"Hey, this smell of meat really attracts a lot of wild dogs." With a laugh, Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Beiran, have you heard of the Gu family in Suitong Mansion?"
"I've never heard of it." Jiang Beiran replied.
"You heard it just now. The Gu family wants to compete with us for the Yunxing Mine. If it is because of them that the price of this batch of mines has been raised a bit, our loss will be too great."
As soon as Shi Weiyi finished speaking, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.
[Option 1: I wonder what the younger generation can do for the sages? . Completion reward: Glazed Charm (Earth-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: "Do you think it's still too late for me to pick out the food?" Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
'Um? '
Looking at the "playful" option two, Jiang Beiran thought for a moment, and somewhat understood the meaning of these two options.
If you choose option one, you may really become a laborer of the Shi family, and you will definitely think of him the first time you can't solve the mess, and God knows when you will step on a hard idea.
The second option is to make yourself more confident, and show that you have someone above you. If you really want the young master to give you 996,007, the young master will leave you alone.
Choosing the second, Jiang Beiran gestured to put his two fingers to his mouth and said, "Do you think it's too late for me to pick out the food now?"
[The optional task has been completed, reward: Art Armor +1]
"..."
For a moment, the whole dining room fell silent, and it was the first time they saw someone confronting their ancestors head-on, in front of so many people.
'What is the background of this kid? '
' No wonder his grandfather was so polite to him, it seems that the background is very big. '
'It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It dares to be so presumptuous in front of its father. I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. '
…
But because the ancestor was obviously partial to the new sage, no one spoke out to teach Jiang Beiran a lesson, and they all quietly waited for the ancestor's reaction.
"Hohohoho, Beiran doesn't have to be so nervous. I'm just telling you that our Shi family also has a lot of difficult things to do. As a guest, you should help, and you should help more."
'Father (grandfather) was actually laughing! ? '
The people at the table were stunned, this junior didn't show face to the ancestor in full view, yet the ancestor didn't get angry, and even took the initiative to smooth things over.
"This kid doesn't have anything to do with the clan saint..."
'Could it be that a junior from the royal family came to us to practice under an alias? '
'It seems that we really have to pay attention to this virtuous card. '
…
And the reason why Shi Weiyi is so easy to talk to is also very simple, that is, Zusheng personally told him not to have any trouble with Jiang Beiran, let alone force him to the opposite side of Shi's family.
These two warnings made Shi Weiyi think of countless backers of Jiang Beiran in an instant, each of whom is a famous figure in Tongguo or other five countries.
Otherwise, how could such a fledgling boy be valued so much by the clan saints.
As a result, Shi Weiyi really felt very embarrassed.
The clan saint wanted him to find a way to find out Jiang Beiran's background or find out his strength, but he was not allowed to have any unpleasant troubles with Jiang Beiran.
Testing the bottom line is already difficult enough, and Shi Weiyi has been put on layers of shackles, which is really hard to tell.
Now Jiang Beiran dare not give him face in front of all the juniors, which is enough to show that he has enough confidence, but also because Shi Weiyi knew this a long time ago, so he didn't get too angry.
It's just that I want to know more and more who is the big man behind this kid.
…
Jiang Beiran also knew that Shi Weiyi had lost face with his words just now, so after Shi Weiyi took the initiative to explain his words, he replied: "Please rest assured, the sages, as long as the younger generation can do it, it must be done." help."
Shi Weiyi, who regained some face, nodded and continued: "I have accumulated a lot of dealings with other sects. If you are free, you might as well come and take a look. The benefits will definitely be indispensable to you."
The reason why Shi Weiyi asked Jiang Beiran about diplomacy was not entirely to test him, but more because he really felt that Jiang Beiran had the ability in this area.
Under the investigation of the people he sent, Jiang Beiran was a young disciple of a middle-level sect in the small border country, and he was even a registered disciple.
But this registered disciple is now talking and laughing with Xuanzun, and there is no mediocrity in his contacts.
Let's not talk about those relationships in the Sheng kingdom, but now he has established a firm foothold in their Shi family, and now he has a very close friendship with the suzerain of the Qiantian sect.
This Qiantianzong allowed Shi Weiyi to hear its name, naturally because there are indeed a few notable characters in this sect, for example, the suzerain of this Qiantianzong has quite outstanding abilities and comparable ambitions .
So when Jiang Beiran came to help the Qian Tianzong as a lobbyist today, Shi Weiyi had already planned to let Jiang Beiran help him for a period of time. Firstly, he could build some relationship, and secondly, he could continue to find out. Let's see where this monster came from.
But now Jiang Beiran obviously doesn't buy it. From what he said just now that seemed to be a joke, Shi Weiyi knew that he meant that he didn't want to be restricted in his freedom. If he forced him to do something, he would be pushing him to the opposite side.
'It's really hard enough. '
When Shi Weiyi was thinking about how to get along with Jiang Beiran, Jiang Beiran was thinking about the meaning of Shi Weiyi's words.
'Does he mean to drag me to the foreign ministry? Get to know me better first, and then strike with precision? '
Of course Jiang Beiran knew that Shi Weiyi was sent by Shi Hongyun to approach and investigate him, so getting along with him was not easy.
At the same time, he sympathized with Shi Weiyi for taking such a troublesome job, and wanted to get some words out of his own mouth
'I want to fart. '
What did Jiang Beiran have been able to do for so long among all kinds of Xuansheng and Xuanzun? The reason is that no one can see through him.
You little Shi Weiyi is worthy of playing tricks on me
You ask the Lord's system to agree!
After a while of analysis, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "The sages invite you, so there is no reason for the younger generation to refuse, and they will come to bother you when you have time."
"Okay, your words are enough."
After finishing speaking, Shi Weiyi stood up and took a step outside and said, "Let's go, let's all go out to digest food."
"Yes." Everyone stood up at the same time and responded.
Following Shi Weiyi for a few laps in his backyard, the two of them didn't test each other during the process, they just exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"Sage, then this junior should go to Qian Tianzong to inform the matter first, and come to you after getting an answer."
After listening, Shi Weiyi nodded and said: "Well, go ahead, talk slowly, don't worry."
"Yes, the junior will take his leave first."
Cupping his hands towards Shi Weiyi, Jiang Beiran turned and left the backyard.
After leaving the sage's mansion, Jiang Beiran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a sweet voice behind him.
"Brother Jiang."
Stopping in his tracks, Jiang Beiran turned his head and looked back. The person who stopped him was Shi Yutong.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Beiran said, "Thanks for Zhan Riliu."
"Brother Jiang found it?"
"Um."
"That's good. Brother Jiang, if you have anything else you want to find, you can tell me. I will definitely find a way to help you find out."
"Let's talk about the future. I should really thank you for Zhan Riliu. I will come to you when I think about the gift."
After hearing this, Shi Yutong raised his toes and drew circles on the ground: "Brother Jiang knows exactly what I want."
"I've said it before, I don't accept disciples."
"I know, but I really want to learn from you."
Looking at Shi Yutong's sincere eyes, and thinking about how persistent she is in this matter, Jiang Beiran couldn't help asking curiously: "Why do you insist on worshiping me as a teacher, someone who is more famous than me in hexagrams and images?" Plenty of them."
After hearing this, Shi Yutong laughed, and replied: "I think you are a real expert who hides in the city like you, sir. In this regard, those famous hexagram masters are not as good as you."
"According to what you mean, fortune tellers shouldn't be famous?"
"That's right!" Shi Yutong nodded vigorously, "Don't be mysterious, why are you called an expert? The expert in my imagination is just like you. It looks ordinary, but as soon as you touch it, you will find that you are a master. There are countless secrets."
'Well, I'm pretty good at her aesthetics. '
