Not counting Jiang Xue, there were six women sitting in Lingyan Tower, all of them beautiful and good at winning, among them was Duan Xiaoxian whom he knew. Duan Xiaoxian is the sister of Duan Qing and Duan Xi. When he transformed into Ji Wujiu and served in the crown prince's personal guard, he got to know them. But now that he appeared in his true form, Duan Xiaoxian naturally couldn't recognize him.
In addition to the six women, there were five young men sitting on one side. These five people have extraordinary popularity. They are either superiors or peerless geniuses. Otherwise, they would never have such a strong and confident aura. When they saw Ye Ming arriving, a trace of hostility flashed in everyone's eyes.
It is easy for Ye Ming to understand this. These guys are running in, naturally to get close to all the beauties. It is best to return with the beauty. Ye Ming is also a man. As soon as he enters, he is naturally regarded as a competitor.
"Sister Xue, who is this young master?" asked a woman in palace attire with a noble temperament. Ye Ming recognized this girl as Nalan Yingning, who was on the national beauty and heavenly fragrance spectrum, and he was deeply impressed. This Nalan Yingning came from a golden family and later married the fourteenth prince. However, the fourteenth prince died suddenly shortly after their marriage, and she has been a widow ever since.
In Nalan Yingning, Ye Ming not only felt nobility, but also loneliness, loneliness, and self-harm and self-pity.
Jiang Xue has no intention of concealing Ye Ming's identity. Yu Lingdai is not here, which means that she has gone back to arrange how to deal with Ye Ming. In this case, just show your true identity. She smiled slightly and said, "This is my friend and savior Ye Ming."
"Ye Ming? A nobody, we have never heard of him." Among the five men, one with the fairest skin and thin eyebrows and thin lips glanced disdainfully and taunted him.
Jiang Xue said calmly: "It's normal for Brother Weiye not to know. Brother Ye is from the Qinglong Dynasty."
The young man named Wei Ye was stunned, and suddenly felt that the name "Ye Ming" seemed familiar. Nalan Yingning asked: "Is it Ye Ming who founded Tongli Bank?"
After she asked, everyone remembered that Ye Ming was the one who founded Tongli Bank. The auction at Tongli Bank caused a sensation not only in Qinglong, but also in the other four dynasties.
Ye Ming cupped his hands towards everyone: "That's right."
Nalan Yingning smiled slightly and looked at him with appreciative eyes: "You really can't be judged by appearance. Mr. Ye has created such a big business at such a young age, which is admirable."
"There's nothing to admire. Now I have nothing to do with Tongli Bank." He sighed. "Not only did I not make any profit from the auction, I also owe a huge debt."
Everyone knew that Ye Ming's words must be full of stories, but they didn't have any friendship, so it was difficult to inquire in depth. However, Nalan Yingning immediately sent an invitation to Ye Ming: "Brother Ye is a great talent, I wonder if you have time tonight? If it is convenient, please come to my Nalan house to stay for a few days. My little sister has something to ask Brother Ye for advice. .”
Not only the five men, but also Wu Mei besides Jiang Xue were stunned. They knew that Nalan Yingning was the most beautiful and reserved among all the beauties. The reason was simple. Although her husband died, she was still the daughter-in-law of the royal family in name and could not get close to men. As for the men, naturally few of them had any idea of her.
Ye Ming thought for a while, but did not refuse, saying: "It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful. I will definitely go."
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Brother Ye, didn't you make an appointment with me tonight? Where did you get the time?"
Ye Ming was stunned. At this time, he naturally couldn't say that I didn't make an appointment with you. He could only say: "We have an appointment in the middle of the night. I should be able to make it back."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five men changed. Going out on a date in the middle of the night? What do you want to do? Someone immediately stood up and said with a smile: "It's boring for everyone to chat. The purpose of coming today is to raise donations. Why don't we play some small games and contribute to the donation?"
The person who spoke had blue eyes and red hair. He was different from the others and had a very strong evil aura about him. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other four men nodded in praise.
Jiang Xue could naturally tell that these five people were targeting Ye Ming, but she was not worried. She just glanced at Ye Ming, who showed a contemptuous smile. Ye Ming really didn't take these people to heart. He could see it as soon as he entered the hall. Among the five people, there were four Martial Lords and one Martial Lord. No matter what tricks they play, they can't be his match.
Seeing Ye Ming's attitude, Jiang Xue asked: "Huo Qi, what game do you want to play?"
Huo Qi said with a smile: "It's very simple. Everyone draws lots first. The person who is drawn can propose a competition to anyone present and has the right to stipulate the content of the competition. After the competition between the two sides, the winning side can ask the losing side to raise funds."
Jiang Xue thought for a while and asked, "How is the amount of donation determined?"
"If you lose a game, raise one billion." Huo Qi said. In his opinion, one billion is already an astronomical figure. If Ye Ming loses, he will definitely not be able to afford it.
Unexpectedly, he said: "This donation is of great significance. I think a mere billion is too little. I think ten billion is more appropriate."
Everyone was shocked. Ten billion is almost equivalent to the tax revenue of a medium-sized city. Is this kid crazy? However, the five men agreed on the spot because they had their own things they were good at and there was no reason to lose to the little Wuzong. At least that's what they think.
"Haha, it's interesting. Can I participate?" A young man in red robe walked in, followed by Hu San'er.
Ye Ming was surprised to see Hu San. He didn't expect that the other party was still alive. Hu Saner stared at Ye Ming provocatively, raising his neck high, as if he was so noble.
"Yuandu!" The five young men all stood up, very nervous, as if the person coming was a formidable enemy.
Yuan Du, the young man in red robe, smiled slightly, looked at Ye Ming, and asked: "I heard Hu San'er mention you a long time ago, saying that you killed your own people with ruthless methods."
Ye Ming was not interested in talking to the other party and said: "The drawing of lots can begin."
Yuan Du didn't think it was a bad idea. He was the first to come over and take out a wad of paper from the bamboo tube. Then others also drew lots, and only Ye Ming waited until the last one before taking out the only paper ball left inside.
Everyone unfolded the paper ball together, with numbers written on it. Ye Ming's number was nine. This means that he is the ninth person to propose a competition and choose who to compete with.
"Haha, I'm lucky enough to be the first person." It was Huo Qi who spoke. He suddenly looked at Ye Ming and pointed, "Ye Ming!"
Ye Ming smiled, all this was expected by him.
Huo Qi pulled out his sword with a choking sound and said, "I am good at swordsmanship. Do you dare to compete with you today?"
Ye Ming said lightly: "Although I think it's a bit shameless for Wu Jun to compete with Wu Zong, I still agree to your request."
Huo Qi was furious: "Boy, you can rest assured that I won't use my martial spirit! Otherwise, others will say that I use the strong to bully the weak."
"You overestimate yourself too much. I am not weak, and you are far from strong." Ye Ming showed the Xuantian Sword, and he was ready to fight with the opponent with the Xuantian White Emperor Sword.
