Chapter 940: Hypocritical and Righteous
"After these independent cultivators join the family, although they cannot become the core of the family, they can be regarded as finding a place to take shelter. There are still certain benefits for independent cultivators."
"The ancient martial arts family also needs such people to do some things for the family so as not to consume too much time and energy of the younger generation."
Chen Ping nodded slightly, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. However, before Chen Ping spoke, Ouyang Su frowned slightly, rolled his eyes at Huang Tiankuo, and said helplessly:
"Don't come to deceive my friend. I haven't asked Chen Ping to join our Ouyang family yet, and you actually come to snatch him. With the strength of your Huang family, I'm afraid you are not qualified to let Chen Ping join you as an ordinary guard."
Hearing what Ouyang Su said, Huang Tiankuo was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head in surprise and looked at Chen Ping deeply.
Afterwards, a bit of understanding appeared in his eyes. He chuckled and asked, "It seems that Brother Chen Ping has a high status in the secular world. I wonder what his background is?"
Chen Ping was about to answer, but Ouyang Su interrupted him and said in a bad voice, "Why do you have so many questions? My friend is just a businessman in the secular world. It's no big deal. But you should just give up on this idea. He will never join your Huang family."
Huang Tiankuo's face suddenly showed a bit of helplessness, but he didn't mean to argue with Ouyang Su.
He just smiled and nodded at Chen Ping. He didn't look down on Chen Ping because of his identity as a casual cultivator and his strength of only yellow level.
However, just as the three people were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door again. The voice was crisp and pleasant, but the content of the words made Chen Ping's face change slightly.
"Miss Ouyang, I didn't expect to see you again. I have lived for another year. I am really lucky."
Hearing this voice, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly turned cold. However, he also knew that this was a gathering of the ancient martial arts family. With his identity and status, he was not qualified to be arrogant. So he just turned his head coldly and looked in the direction of the door of the room.
At this moment, a man and a woman slowly walked in.
The young man walking in front looked about 30 years old, about the same age as Huang Tiankuo, and had a refined temperament. If you use the simplest adjective to summarize, then in Chen Ping's eyes, this is a pretty boy.
However, there was also a faint and powerful aura on his body, which was not weaker than Huang Tiankuo at all. Even if he was not a martial artist of the first level of the acquired realm, he was probably at least about the fifth level of the earth level.
Of course, with Chen Ping's strength, there was no way to accurately judge the other party's strength level.
As for the person who just spoke, it was naturally the girl following behind the young man.
Although the girl looked pretty good, she was heavily made up, but she had a bit more worldly flavor. Compared with Ouyang Su, who was like a fairy in the sky, there was really a world of difference. And there was a bit of harshness between her eyebrows.
The words just now were said by this girl. However, Chen Ping did not know the identity of this girl. He only knew the young man walking in front.
When he saw this young man for the first time, Chen Ping's heart became more and more alert.
This young man should be the eldest son of the ancient martial arts family, the Bai family of Demon City, Bai Wenxin.
According to the information given by Li Qian at the beginning, Bai Wenxin's age is similar to Huang Tiankuo. The cultivation talents of the two are not much different. Now what specific level of cultivation has been reached,
Although it is not known, it should not be too weak.
And the Bai family of Demon City is also in the middle and upper level among the ancient martial arts families.
In a short moment, there are already three ancient martial arts families in front of Chen Ping. Ouyang family, Bai family, Huang family. These three ancient martial arts families are not simple existences.
If it is true, among these three families, the Ouyang family is the weakest one.
The strength of the Bai family and the Huang family should be one level higher. Especially the Huang family, which is one of the old ancient martial arts families. Although it is not yet the top ancient martial arts family, it is much stronger than the Ouyang family.
Of course, the strength of the ancient martial arts family mainly depends on the younger generation. But now it seems that both Bai Wenxin and Huang Tiankuo are much stronger than Ouyang Su.
As for whether there are younger generations in the Ouyang family who are stronger than Ouyang Su, Chen Ping does not know.
However, after seeing Bai Wenxin and the woman, Chen Ping's heart also rose a little cautious.
These two people walked in together, and the woman did not care about the face of the Ouyang family at all. She tore open Ouyang Su's scars and directly pointed out that Ouyang Su's life was coming to an end and he might die at any time. It seems that she is deliberately looking for trouble. It must be that she is not an ordinary character.
However, Chen Ping did not have any impression of this woman in his mind. After taking a deep look at this woman, his eyes were more unfriendly.
However, everyone present could be considered a strong practitioner of ancient martial arts. Even though the aura emanating from that woman was much weaker than that of Bai Wenxin and Huang Tiankuo, it was still not something Chen Ping could match.
So at the first moment, Bai Wenxin and the woman had already noticed the bad look in Chen Ping's eyes. The woman immediately frowned slightly, then curled her lips, and said with a sneer:
"Where did this pretty boy come from? Could he be Ouyang Su's lover? Why don't I feel the aura of ancient martial arts on him at all? If he is just an ordinary person, he is not qualified to enter the ancient martial arts family gathering. Ouyang Su, you didn't bring a waste here, did you?"
It must be said that the woman's sharp and mean mouth also made Chen Ping a little amazed. However, Chen Ping's face would naturally not look good after being slapped in the face like this. Ouyang Su's eyes gradually became cold.
Although Ouyang Su usually treats people and things gently, Chen Ping has never seen Ouyang Su angry. However, Bodhisattvas have three points of anger, let alone Ouyang Su.
Although Ouyang Su is not easy to get angry, when facing this woman, a little bit of displeasure still appears on his face.
After taking a look at the woman, Ouyang Su said quietly, "Bai Qiumei, although you are the eldest daughter of the Bai family, you have ordinary talent."
"It is hard to say whether you can reach my current level in your lifetime. What qualifications do you have to shout and point fingers in front of me? Even if I really brought an ordinary person into the ancient martial arts family gathering, you are not qualified to point it out."
As soon as Ouyang Su finished speaking, Bai Wenxin suddenly laughed, and then stepped forward and stood directly in front of Bai Qiumei, laughing and saying, "Miss Ouyang has a bad temper. My sister just said two truths. Why is Miss Ouyang so angry?"
"Since Miss Ouyang said that my sister does not have such qualifications, I wonder if I have such qualifications?"
Ouyang Su's face suddenly changed slightly. She knew very well that although she had good talents, she had completely abandoned her cultivation in recent years, and her strength had always remained at the level of the third level of the earth level.
Such a level is already extremely powerful for ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners. But compared with Bai Wenxin in front of him, there is still a big gap.
Now, if nothing unexpected happens, Bai Wenxin's strength should have reached the first level of the acquired realm, which is not comparable to Ouyang Su at all.
However, just when Ouyang Su didn't know what to do, Huang Tiankuo, who had been watching coldly, suddenly laughed out loud, "You don't have such qualifications!"
"Brother Chen Ping was brought here by me and Miss Ouyang. Your strength is just the same as mine. You are not qualified to question my decision. If you want to question the identity of brother Chen Ping, let the old guys in your family come over."
After Huang Tiankuo's voice fell, the atmosphere of several people present suddenly solidified and became tense in an instant.
Although no one had the intention to take action, their faces were not very good. It can be said that except Huang Tiankuo, the other people present lost some face.
Among them, the one who cared most about face was Bai Wenxin, the eldest son of the Bai family.
At this moment, Bai Wenxin was no longer as calm as before. Instead, a gloomy look rose in his eyes.
He glanced coldly at Huang Tiankuo, and had no intention of competing with Huang Tiankuo.
Bai Wenxin knew very well that he and Huang Tiankuo had been rivals for so many years, and the confrontation between the two had been more than once. Bai Wenxin was too lazy to engage in such a meaningless quarrel.
So Bai Wenxin did not take Huang Tiankuo to heart at all, but turned his head to look at Ouyang Su and Chen Ping on the side, and finally put his cold eyes on Chen Ping.
He asked coldly, "Although you have the aura of ancient martial arts practice, your strength is too low. I guess you haven't even reached the third level of the yellow level."
"And I've never seen you before. You shouldn't be from any ancient martial arts family. You should be a casual cultivator, right? As a casual cultivator, with only the strength of the yellow level, how can you have the face to participate in such an ancient martial arts family gathering?"
"Don't think that you can run rampant in such an occasion just because Ouyang Su and Huang Tiankuo are protecting you. If I were you, I would immediately leave with my tail between my legs. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed today."
It has to be said that Bai Wenxin looks like a gentleman, a graceful and polite young man. However, this image only lasted for a moment.
At this point, Bai Wenxin's arrogant and domineering, extremely mean character was completely revealed. Such a person is exactly the type that Chen Ping hates the most.
But what Bai Wenxin said does make some sense. With Chen Ping's status and strength, if Ouyang Su hadn't insisted on bringing him here, he probably wouldn't have been qualified to participate in this ancient martial arts family gathering.
However, Chen Ping knew very well that if he really backed down, it would not only be his own face that would be lost. The most important thing was that after he backed down, the one who really lost face was actually Ouyang Su who was beside him.
So after a moment of silence, Chen Ping suddenly smiled faintly, looked at Bai Wenxin calmly, and said softly, word by word: "If I were you, I would never say such stupid things."
"Because if what you just said was heard by your Bai family's head Bai Zhanyuan, that is, your father, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending."
"Your Bai family will also be criticized by many ancient martial arts families. I advise you to try not to do such things that hurt your father."
