Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

Zhang Xiaoxiao could totally stuff a duck egg in her mouth. That surprised and shocked look seemed to be contagious.    

As soon as she said that, almost everyone in the hall copied and pasted her expression.    

Only Lin Yichao, Gu Zhaonian, and Chu Huaiyu, who did not know much about the Hidden Sect, could barely keep calm.    

After all, they did not know that Upper Envoy was the usual name of the messenger of the Hidden Sect.    

As the people of the Hidden Sect rarely showed themselves, almost everyone who came out of the Hidden Sect, as long as they weren't traitors, could be considered Upper Envoy.    

"Go, Upper Envoy?" Many of them sucked in a breath of cold air. The shock they were feeling right now couldn't be described with words.    

They couldn't imagine why an Upper Envoy would suddenly appear in this banquet that only targeted the inner part of Merchant Union.    

However, the pleasant surprise that came after the shock quickly filled their hearts.    

Almost like a swarm of bees, everyone threw themselves in front of Loo Zhuo with flattering smiles on their faces, expressing themselves.    

Loo Zhuo frowned and waved impatiently.    

The group of people could not help being disappointed, but they did not dare to disobey Upper Envoy. They reluctantly retreated from Loo Zhuo's side.    

Only then did Loo Zhuo pick his ears. When he cast his eyes to the side and saw the pile of wine and wine, his eyes lit up.    

He grabbed a wine bottle in one hand, then pulled off a chicken leg and occupied it with both hands.    

The sound of chewing was especially obvious in the silent space.    

Loo Zhuo did not care about the expressions of the group. He held the bottle and walked over to Xiao Chen while chewing.    

"Brother, you are too mean. There are so many good wine. Why didn't you inform me earlier?"    

Loo Zhuo said it casually, and it sounded like he was complaining. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and took a few gulps of the wine bottle.    

However, as soon as he said those words, the people from the various families were once again dumbfounded.    

They looked at Loo Zhuo and then at Xiao Chen. Each of their expressions was full of excitement and astonishment, even more obvious than before.    

"Brother." This wasn't just a simple term of address. It also expressed the relationship between the two of them.    

Looking at the casual interaction between the two of them, as well as the theme of the banquet, it was inevitable that people would think too much.    

"It can't be. Could it be that Upper Envoy is also a member of our Merchant Union? This, this..."    

At this moment, everyone's heart was filled with the same unimaginable feeling, but they couldn't help but imagine it.    

Of course, Xiao Chen wouldn't tell them that this bastard was here to freeload some wine. After all, this was one of the reasons he called Loo Zhuo over.    

"I told you yesterday that it was you who went into the clubhouse every night. You overslept and still came to blame me?"    

"Well, it was an accident. It was purely an accident. It was just a few bottles of wine, how could I..."    

Loo Zhuo felt awkward for a moment, but before he could finish, he suddenly noticed the strange gazes of the people around him.    

"What are you doing?" Loo Zhuo stared at the group of people.    

Only then did the group of people smile mischievously. They quickly retracted their strange gazes and pretended to eat something.    

However, their ears perked up and kept stretching in the direction of Xiao Chen and Loo Zhuo.    

Xiao Chen did not tease this fellow anymore. He swept his gaze across the scene and his expression became serious.    

"Since everyone is here, it's time for our second gift to be opened. Old brother, do you want to come or should I?"    

Xiao Chen placed his hand behind his back and casually swept it across Loo Zhuo's face.    

The question he deliberately asked and the mysterious look on his face had immediately whetted the appetite of the group of people.    

The eyes of the group of people lit up, and their eyes shone with a brilliant light.    

Loo Zhuo was dumbfounded by the question, but Xiao Chen didn't have any intention of waiting for him to speak. He just continued.    

"If that's the case, let me do it." He pointed at Loo Zhuo and said, "I think everyone knows about it."    

"But what I want to tell everyone is that this time, my elder brother has come to the southeast. He has brought along a great blessing. Everyone knows about the Exchange Conference. However, the Hidden Sect didn't give up on us. They gave us another chance."    

" So, brother is here to pick someone. Not many, just four! As the saying goes, fertilizer doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders. So, brother has specially decided that these four people will be chosen from the inner circle of the Merchant Union."    

Xiao Chen spoke very casually and didn't deliberately keep them in suspense.    

However, after hearing his words, everyone became silent. To be more precise, they were all knocked out by happiness.    

These families were not the top families in the southeast. After all, there were only three or four families in the southeast that could be counted as such.    

It was also because of this that Zhang's and Chu's were able to take them down so easily.    

In fact, they knew very well that even if they participated in the social meeting, their families were more interested in getting lucky.    

But now, Xiao Chen had told them that out of the 18 families, there would be four people who could enter the Hidden Sect.    

If this wasn't a dream, what was it?    

Sometimes, happiness came so suddenly that it caught them off guard.    

"Master Xiao, Upper Envoy, this, this is all true?"    

Of course, there were still people who didn't dare believe it. After all, the dream was quite far from reality.    

"Are you questioning me now?" Loo Zhuo rolled his eyes. He had an imposing manner even if he was not angry.    

However, these people were not frightened. Instead, they were even more surprised. All of them grinned to their ears.    

Although they were happy, the problem in reality could not be avoided.    

There were only four spots, but there were still twenty-three families.    

Although the ratio was no longer that of thousands of soldiers crossing the single-log bridge, there were still people who were destined to be disappointed.    

"Is the Hidden Sect very powerful?"    

On this end, Lin Zhiwei had already explained to Chu Huaiyu but Chu Huaiyu heard it with a puzzled expression.    

"Shh! We can just say this behind our backs. Now let's just shut up!"    

"The Gu family will not participate." Just as everyone was looking at each other, Gu Changfeng suddenly stood up and said lightly.    

A stone that stirred up a thousand waves. The people of the various families looked at Gu Changfeng as if they were looking at a fool, but they were still secretly amused.    

"The Muh family of Cennan will not participate!" Muh Zixun spoke on behalf of the Muh family.    

"The Chu family is not interested!" Chu Huaiyu curled her lips and said.    

"The Lin family will withdraw too!" Lin Xie smiled faintly and followed after Chu Huaiyu.    

This might be the first time since the Hidden Sect entered the world to choose a disciple.    

Who wouldn't want to push their way in?    

But what about now? The Chu family, the Muh family, and the others chose to withdraw before they even started.    

The families who were secretly laughing earlier could no longer laugh. All of them looked at Chu Huaiyu and the others with strange expressions on their faces.    

Fortunately, Chu Huaiyu and the others had already prepared their expressions.    

In the end, they were saying that Jiang was old and spicy. Lin Xie smiled faintly and sincerely opened his mouth.
