Chapter 229
Chapter 229. Misfortune
At this point, Cui Hao finally expressed his intention to come here, which is to grab the place in the competition of Nanling Branch.

This matter seems simple, but in fact it is also related to the dispute between the Jiangning Provincial League and the Nanling City League, as well as the division of interests between the future and the inter-provincial merger of the three southeastern provinces. It is actually killing three birds with one stone!
Although Rong Qiancheng had expected it long ago, he couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, and looked at Lu Ziliang:
"Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? Today, you are the representative of the headquarters to visit my Nanling. It has nothing to do with others. Don't tell me you just ignore it?"

The tone was already quite untactful.

Qi Heng and others also echoed: "That's right, the headquarter came to our Nanling to select talents. What does it have to do with your three southeastern provinces? We have to distinguish between superior and inferior, and we will definitely accompany you in another day!"

"Today, you have come here uninvited, and you still dare to make such unreasonable demands. Do you really think that there is no one in Nanling?"

"So what about the Three Provinces League? Even if this matter gets to the headquarters, it is our responsibility. Mr. Lu, please be fair, otherwise we will not be polite!"

The Nanling Spring and Autumn League was originally very united, but now they knew that the matter was of great importance, from the elders of the nine families to the younger children, they were all filled with righteous indignation and unanimously spoke out.

Lu Ziliang didn't want to participate in this kind of regional dispute at first, but it was a last resort at this time. He looked at Cui Hao:

"Mr. Cui may have misunderstood. The Nanling City League has not confirmed a place in the competition. I am here today just to test first. Everything depends on the results of the competition."

"Since that's the case, why don't we let the juniors from the three provinces accompany them to compete together, so that Mr. Lu can have a reference?"

"This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate,"

Lu Ziliang thought that no matter how strong the Nanling City Alliance is, it cannot be compared to the Three Provinces Alliance. If you are allowed to participate, how can those young people in Nanling have a chance?
Shaking his head immediately, he turned to Zhuang and Fan at the side:

"Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Fan, among the five places in each branch, I remember that the three southeastern provinces have already occupied one, and it is the only fixed one for all provincial branches. So what are you still not satisfied with?"

As soon as the words fell, Rong Qiancheng and others were shocked.

They knew that five of the ten quotas in the Spring and Autumn League were allocated to local branches, but they didn't know that the three southeastern provinces had already occupied one in advance.

You must know that these five places are all extremely precious, and each one can only be determined after careful consideration. The Nanling City League only invited Lu Ziliang to observe and select because of its profound background.

Even so, it is just a chance to get a quota, and it will be given before it is confirmed.

For example, the Jiangning Provincial League does not even have this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, one of the five places had already been occupied by the three southeastern provinces.

Thinking of the strong strength of the Three Provinces Spring and Autumn League, everyone was not too surprised after a second thought, thinking that this should be the meaning of the headquarters, but you are not satisfied with occupying one, and you come to snatch others, it is really arrogant!

Thinking of this, Rong Qiancheng and the others became even more angry, and their eyes were full of resentment.

Zhuang Weinian was not angry when he saw that Lu Ziliang exposed their old background, but still smiled all over his face:

"Mr. Lu misunderstood, this has nothing to do with the quota we got, this trip, we really want our disciples to compete with the Nanling City League,"

"However, since we happened to meet this Arhat meeting, let's use it as a reference for Mr. Lu. If there are really young talents in the Nanling City League, they must not be compared to us, don't you think?"

"Mr. Zhuang said that,"

Fan Jingxian with a gloomy face at the side also echoed: "We are all colleagues of the Spring and Autumn League, so what's the big deal if we exchange ideas with each other?"

"And even if we are outsiders in the three southeastern provinces, isn't Mr. Wang from the Jiangning Provincial League? Shouldn't we ask his opinion on this matter?"

"I agree!"

Before Fan Jing could finish his sentence, Wang Jiandao hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, our Jiangning Province and the three southeastern provinces are adjacent, so it's only natural to learn from each other, and this will not hinder your business."

"Anyway, you don't have to ask questions, you will know at a glance who is qualified for that quota."

Said with a slight sneer.

Rong Qiancheng and the others were overwhelmed by his words, they were speechless for a while, thinking that even though this person was obviously cheating, but after all he was the leader of Jiangning Province, if he agreed, even Lu Ziliang would not be able to say anything.

Sure enough, Lu Ziliang smiled wryly when he heard the words, and didn't answer for now.

Su Rui, Qi Wulei and the others on the side couldn't get enough popularity, so they wanted to say yes, but Rong Yi stretched out his hand to stop him, shaking his head as a signal.

In fact, they also knew in their hearts that the children of their side were not good at learning, and compared with those young men and women in the three provinces, they had no chance of winning.

But, could it be that he didn't say a word when he was humiliated on his face like this?
"Grandpa, I don't think the brothers and sisters of the Nanling City League have such intentions, otherwise forget it."

At this time, a clear voice suddenly broke the deadlock, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Cui Simin.

Cui Hao knew that this grandson had always been scheming, so there must be a reason for saying this, so he pretended to cooperate and smiled: "Why? If this is the case, wouldn't it be a waste of us to come all the way?"

"That's okay, I remember you once taught me that experience is not the most important thing in appraising treasures, not even knowledge of eyesight, but self-confidence,"

"If a person loses even confidence, he is like a loach in the mud. No matter how hard he struggles, he can't turn into golden scales, and he can't jump over the dragon's gate."

"I see that when the brothers of the Nanling City League heard that they wanted to compete with us, their faces changed, and they lost their spirits. Isn't this what you said about those loaches who have no way out and only know how to roll in the muddy water?" ?”

With a bang, everyone in the three provinces burst into laughter.

These words are not only harsh, but also pierced the hearts of everyone in the Nine Great Families. It can be said that they are the most fierce provocateurs.

"grandfather!"

"dad!"

The children of the Nine Great Families were so angry that they looked at their elders one after another.

Even Qi Heng and the others had blazing eyes, thinking that if they were humiliated and kept silent, it would be a loss of face to the Nine Great Masters. In this way, even if they finally got the place in the competition, it would not be worth the loss.

Now they all looked at Rong Qiancheng.

Rong Qiancheng ignored them, but kept looking at Ren Ping.

No one here knows better than him, whether to accept the provocation of the three provinces, and whether to win in the end depends not on him, but on Ren Ping.

With the ability of the nine disciples, it is absolutely impossible to win against the Three Provinces Alliance, only Ren Ping can, which is why he tried his best to invite this great god.

Ren Ping actually had an idea in his heart, but he is not the rightful leader of the Nine Great Families after all, so it is not easy to say it himself.

I planned to let Rong Qiancheng and others do it for me, but I didn't expect these people to react too slowly. They only knew that they were led by the nose, no wonder they were bullied.

Helpless, he had no choice but to sigh, and looked at the three of Cui Hao:
"Mr. Cui, Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Fan, have you selected the person for the quota in the three provinces?"

The question was so abrupt that the three of them were taken aback when they heard the words: "No, why are you asking this?"

Ren Ping stopped answering the conversation, and turned to Lu Ziliang: "Mr. Lu, since the quota for the Three Provinces Spring and Autumn League has been fixed, it is entirely up to them to decide who they want to recommend."

"Of course not. Although the quota has been confirmed for them, it can only be determined after strict and formal selection. The headquarters also has to check it. After I came to Nanling this time, I was going to observe them."

"Then it looks like you don't have to go."

"why?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Ziliang seemed to have realized something, and looked at Ren Ping: "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Cui, aren't they going to compete with the Nanling City League? That's fine, anyway, you're here, so you don't need to make another trip. Let's also decide on their internal candidates, and let's see how the specific quota for the three provinces is. Do you deserve it?"

Since you want to snatch my spot in the competition, then I will treat him in the same way and drag you into the water.

This is called a plan to divert misfortune to the east. According to Ren Ping's idea, if it goes well, he can seize the quota from the three provinces.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone in the three provinces immediately thought of the deep meaning behind it, and couldn't help but change color:
"Presumptuous! What are you, dare to discuss whether our quota is worthy or not!"
