"I don't know, but this meal is not delicious."
Ryuji replied lazily.
"Uncle, Wu Di."
Long Xiu first greeted Long Er and Wu Di.
"Well, don't worry about us."
Long Er waved at Long Xiu.
Long Xiu nodded slightly and walked towards Council Chairman Long Yan. He came in front of everyone and spoke in a deep voice.
"Father, uncles and aunts."
"Hey, isn't this Long Xiu? I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come back."
Wang Heng and others spoke to Long Xiu enthusiastically.
"I was too busy in the other world. I just got back."
Long Xiu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
At this time, Long Yan Council Chairman cleared his throat and spoke calmly.
"Now that everyone is here, please take your seats."
"good!"
Everyone present responded with a smile.
Long Er and Wu Di also walked over and sat down, sitting next to each other.
At this time, old man Bai Lin was sitting directly next to Wu Di, and he said with some surprise.
"Wu Di, you know how to come back."
“It’s not too busy.”
"Don't come on, come to my house when you have time, and we can have a good discussion."
Bai Lin directly invited Wu Di.
"next time."
The muscles on Wu Di's face suddenly tensed slightly.
"Everyone, be quiet."
Council President Long Yan raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be seated and quiet.
Soon the banquet hall fell silent, and Council President Long Yan spoke in a deep voice.
"The reason I called you here today is not just to have a meal, but because I have something very important to tell you."
"President, you say."
Everyone present responded with a serious expression.
"The City of Stars has now begun to be activated. In order to ensure the safety of the City of Stars, the Red Alliance and the Blue Alliance have jointly established a special department called Star Shine. This department is of vital importance!"
Speaker of the Longyan Council said to everyone.
Wang Heng and other vice presidents looked at each other, but none of them said anything and continued to listen.
The Speaker of the Longyan Council said immediately.
"This Star Department has twenty-four Star Envoys, which are actually twenty-four captains. What I want to tell you now is about the selection of the twenty-four Star Envoys. These twenty-four Star Envoys are very important. Not only do they have great power, but they can also enjoy abundant resources, which means that the resources of the two alliances will be tilted towards them."
Vice President Wang Heng and others present spoke up when they heard what President Long Yan said.
"If that's the case, then we must fight for it."
"Yes, such an important position must be in my own hands."
…
Council Chairman Long Yan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he spoke to everyone in a deep voice.
"In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Speaker Oroko and I originally agreed on twenty-four Star Envoys, with each of us taking up half. But a very serious problem arose in the middle, and that was the ranking issue. The people under the Blue Alliance believed that they were relatively strong and should be ranked higher, and that it was a shame to be ranked behind the weak. So in the end, it was decided to select by fighting, and the strong would take the position. As a result, the nature of this selection has changed. Now it is not just a matter of twenty-four stars' power and tilted resources. More importantly, this selection is a display of strength. We cannot be at a disadvantage in the cooperation between the two alliances, otherwise we will be restricted in the future. Therefore, we must go all out in this selection. If we don't get a high ranking, or if we get less than half of the seats, we will be in trouble."
After hearing what Parliament Speaker Long Yan said, Vice Speaker Wang Heng and others felt tremendous pressure.
It is obvious that this is no longer a simple fight for positions, but more of an arm wrestling between the two alliances. The masters on the Blue Alliance side are no pushovers.
At this time, Bai Lin was the first to slam the table and shout.
"Don't worry, Mr. Council President. I will sign up to participate personally."
"very good."
Long Yan Council Chairman praised.
At this time, Vice Speaker Wang Heng also spoke up.
"Don't worry, Mr. Council President. My son Wang Hajime will also be there."
"We will also send our strongest experts to participate."
Representatives of the eight major families present expressed their opinions one after another.
"I feel relieved after hearing your words. I'd like to toast you all with this glass of wine. I wish our Red Alliance a great victory!"
Speaker Longyan raised his glass.
"A great victory!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
Long Yan took the lead and drank the wine in the glass. Then he changed his previous seriousness and spoke in a kindly tone.
"We've finished discussing business. It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so let's eat more."
"good."
Everyone present responded with laughter.
At this moment, old man Bai Lin suddenly stood up, cleared his throat and spoke to the chairman of the Longyan Council.
"Mr. Council President, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you something today."
Long Er and others looked at Bai Lin in confusion.
"But you can say it!"
The Speaker of the Longyan Council replied with a smile.
"Long Yan Council Chairman, I think General Long Xiu is a handsome man, proficient in both civil and military affairs, but unfortunately he is still single, and my daughter Bai Mucheng is unmarried. It just so happens that the two grew up together and are very familiar with each other, so I want to propose a marriage for them."
Bai Lin said directly.
When Long Xiu heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to stand up and say something to Long Yan.
But he was suppressed by Long Yan's look.
When Wu Di heard Bai Lin's words, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong?"
Long Er asked Wu Di in confusion.
Wu Di lowered his voice and spoke to Long Er.
"Bai Mucheng is Shen Qiu's ex-girlfriend, and the two are still in contact."
When Long Er heard this, he was also stunned.
At this time, Vice Speaker Yun Kong couldn't help seeing that Bai Lin was going to marry into the Long family. He immediately stood up and said to Long Yan.
"Chairman of the Longyan Council, my daughter Yun Chuyu is still unmarried and she is very beautiful. She has admired Long Xiu for a long time. I think they are a good match."
"What do you mean, Yunkong? Are you trying to snatch it from me?"
Bai Lin said angrily.
"It's not robbery. It's just a father's concern for his daughter. I also want her to have a good home."
Vice President Yunkong defended.
At this time, City Lord Su Yue also stood up and spoke to the Speaker of the Longyan Council.
"Chairman, my daughter Su Jin is extremely talented. I think she is a good match for Long Xiu. You may also consider it."
Vice Speaker Wang Heng was also anxious and he stood up as well.
"President of the Longyan Council, the little Queen Qingyue is well-educated and well-mannered."
…
At one time, the seven major families all recommended their daughters, all wanting to marry into the Long family.
Are you kidding? Everyone knows that Long Xiu is the future heir of the Long family.
Council Chairman Long Yan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He looked at Bai Lin thoughtfully. In fact, Long Xiu did need a marriage partner.
And the marriage partner can only be from the eight major families. Among all the daughters recommended by everyone, Long Yan likes Bai Mucheng the most, so he looks at Bai Lin.
When Long Er saw his eldest brother's eyes fall on old man Bai Lin, he immediately felt something was wrong. It was obvious that his eldest brother had taken a fancy to Bai Mucheng, and then he thought to himself.
"No! I have to help Shen Qiu."
Thinking of this, Long Er said with a look of great surprise.
"Bai Lin, I remember your daughter has a boyfriend, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned, and everyone turned to look at Long Er.
"Bullshit, Long Er, what are you talking about?"
Bai Lin suddenly became angry and cursed at Long Er.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Isn't your daughter's boyfriend Shen Qiu? And they have a daughter, who is already this big."
Long Er also stretched out his hand and gestured Yun Xiaoxi's height.
"Long Er, how dare you slander my daughter? I will never let you go."
Bai Lin was immediately furious.
When the Chairman of the Longyan Council heard Shen Qiu, he was also shocked. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Wu Di."
Long Er directly put the blame on Wu Di.
Wu Di's expression suddenly became extremely interesting. This guy was going to kill him!
Bai Lin looked at Wu Di viciously.
"Wu Di, say something!"
Wu Di took a deep breath. He knew, of course, that Long Er wanted to ruin this matter, but for the sake of his brother he had no choice but to give it a try, so he lied.
"It seems to be the case!"
When Bai Lin heard Wu Di's words, his blood pressure suddenly soared. He slapped the table hard, and the entire dining table suddenly broke into pieces. Plates fell to the ground, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then Bai Lin turned around and left angrily.
Long Er couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself.
"Brother, I can only help you so far."
