Pengcheng is a key city in the northwest of Jiangnan Province. Because the canal passes through it and the two trunk railways meet here, it is known as the "bridge of the five provinces". Pengcheng's name originated from ancient times. According to legend, Pengzu established the Da Peng clan country during the Emperor Yao period. It was the earliest city that appeared in Jiangnan Province. It is even more "Nine Provinces of China" in history. Since ancient times, it has been the key to the north, the gateway to the south, the place where military strategists must compete for, and the center of merchants, and is known as the "Oriental Athens".

Entering modern times, Pengcheng's status has been weakened, but with the recent adjustment of economic layout, Pengcheng has vaguely regained its status as a "node city" and has become a quasi-provincial capital city. In the future, it is almost a foregone conclusion.

The location designated by the Executive Committee of the Imperial Spirit World to hold the Lingshi Public Market is located in a scenic area in Yunshan District, under Pengcheng, called the ** Lake Scenic Area.

The scenic area is located in the south of Pengcheng District, covering an area of ​​45 square kilometers and a core scenic area of ​​150,000 square kilometers. It has good scenery and is a national 5a-level scenic area. The reason why I chose to hold the Lingshi Public Park here is mainly for safety reasons. The scenic area has three artificial islands located in the center of the lake, which covers a large area and only a single path is connected to the outside world. From a security perspective, it can be said to have a natural barrier.

Of course, if you only consider it from a safety perspective, there is no need to choose the venue here. The deep mountains and forests can also be used as a reference for the venue. However, considering that those who come to participate in the public market are all spirit controlers from all over the country, choosing a beautiful and suitable environment to let everyone come and leave happily, and having fun in the middle process, it falls within the scope that the organizer needs to consider.

After many consultations, the Executive Committee finally chose the location in the ** Lake Scenic Area. After contacting the management party of the scenic area, it specially arranged the three islands in the scenic area to book the venue.

...

When Bai Xiao and the others arrived at the public venue, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

As the convoy drove into the parking lot and waited for the vehicle to stop, Bai Xiao followed the team out of the car.

At this time, the sunset was setting, and the clouds in the sky were dyed red. The scenery of the ** Lake Scenic Area was very magnificent, and the most outstanding one was the wide lake in front of it. The breeze blew, and the water surface was rippling with ripples, and under the sunset, there were tiny golden light, just like falling petals spreading on the lake surface, the mountains reflected the lake color, like clouds blooming through the sky.

Looking at the scene of water and birds flying in front of him, Bai Xiao was a little shocked. He took out his cell phone to take a photo, then quickly reacted, carried his bag, and prepared to go to the hotel where he was staying.

The hotel was arranged by the organizer of this public trading, so naturally there was no need to worry about the Bai family or the attendees. They followed the team to the hotel, then took out the invitation letter to sign in, got the door card from the front desk staff, and Bai Xiao headed towards his room.

This time, Bai Xiao chose to live with Xiao Ling. It was a suite with two large beds, and all the facilities inside were complete.

He threw the bag onto the sofa beside him. Bai Xiao stood on the edge of the bed, stretched his body, leaned back and lay on the bed. Xiaoling followed suit when he saw this and crawled to Bai Xiao's side.

"Miss, let's have a meal." Xiaoling blinked her bright eyes.

"Yes." Bai Xiao nodded, lay down and got up from the bed.

As soon as he left the door, he met his cousin Bai Yuchen. Bai Yuchen seemed to be looking for her, and when he saw Bai Xiao, he came over.

"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Bai Xiao asked curiously.

Bai Yuchen smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to remind you." Seeing Bai Xiao curious, he looked around and whispered: "Recently, many of the people in our Bai family who have come out of the fifth squads seem to have many people who have made the decisions about you, so be careful."

Bai Xiao understood as soon as he heard this. She narrowed her bright eyes slightly, nodded thoughtfully and said, "Brother, are you talking about those... who want to marry me as your wife?"

Seeing that Bai Xiao understood, Bai Yuchen nodded and said, "Actually, there are still many such people."

"It's quite a lot." Bai Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly. Everyone has a love for beauty, but even Bai Xiao himself did not expect that there would be so many people rushing to ask for her, which was a bit unexpected. In many transformation novels, the protagonist suffers from "female fake gender deformity". Shouldn't he be disliked? Why doesn't he work when he gets to her?

Let’s talk about the boys who participated in the spirit stone public auction that Bai family came here this time. Bai Xiao probably has half of them who have thought about her. If she really wants to do so, she doesn’t have to worry about whether someone is willing to take her “trade”.

Bai Yuchen reminded her this time that she actually wanted her to pay attention to her words and deeds and never leave any so-called "hopeful" thoughts for those boys. After all, she is not a real girl, and it is possible to not pay much attention to the details. If she still has too much intimacy with the other party with the previous "boy mentality", she may not let the other party misunderstand something.

Of course, Bai Yuchen underestimated her. Bai Xiao is not stupid and sweet. She still pays great attention to the standards that should be paid attention to.

"Brother, don't worry, I know what you want to say, I understand." Thinking of this, Bai Xiao smiled and said straightforwardly.

Seeing her calm expression, Bai Yuchen knew that she had not touched her sensitive nerves about this problem. He nodded and comforted: "It's good to understand. You know that you are a hot commodity now, so you should pay more attention."

"Well, it seems that I'm still very popular." Bai Xiao smiled indifferently.

Bai Yuchen nodded, wondering if he should comfort her. But after thinking about it, although Bai Xiao is a cousin, she is also an adult. She has her own ideas, so she gave up.

Then the three of them came to the restaurant. There were 32 people on the trip to the Bai family, and they sat at two large round tables, including one of the elders and one of the younger generations. By the time Bai Xiao and the others arrived, the table was almost ready to start. Bai Xiao sat down with Bai Yuchen and greeted some of the people at the same table. Their table was all young, so there were not many taboos between them.

Bai Xiao sat on his left hand, while Bai Lu occupied the right hand. Bai Yuchen couldn't compete for a seat with the girl, so he had to move to the side and sit with Bai Ye, Bai Feng and the others.

"Xiaoxiao, look there, it's so lively..." Bai Lu pointed not far away while waiting for the meal. There was also a team of people entering the venue, and dozens of people were being swept, which attracted the attention of people around.

"who are they?"

Seeing Bai Xiao’s doubts, Bai Yuchen introduced: “That’s from the Yan family.”

Yan Family?

Bai Xiao was slightly stunned. She is not the former Wu Xia Ameng, so she naturally knows who the Yan family is.

There are five major families in the Yuling Realm, namely the Bai family, the Yan family, the An family, the Zhao family, and the Xiao family. Among them, the Xiao family is the strongest, followed by the An family, and the Zhao family, the Yan family and the Bai family.

Among the five families, the Xiao family and An family are stronger than the other three in terms of combat power and influence on the Spirit Realm. The strength of the Bai family, Yan family and Zhao family is roughly on the same level. The Bai family suffers a little, because of the subtle strength of the cutting-edge combat power, which leads to the end of the five major families.

Of course, under the current situation, it is actually difficult to rank a specific higher level between the Bai family, the Yan family and the Zhao family. After all, there will be no comprehensive war in the big family. Everyone has the strength to destroy the other party. So the significance of ranking lies in the slight gap in strength.

These are all what Bai Xiao heard from his elders, and she also knew that the Yan family... seemed to be a little inconsistent with the Bai family. Although they were not an enemy, they had some vague competition, and some open and secret struggles were indispensable. Of course, they were still acceptable on the surface.

"They have a lot of people here this time!" Bai Xiao sighed a little.

"Yes, there are probably more than forty people, more than us!" Bai Lu curled her lips, not having a good impression of the Yan family.

Bai Yuchen smiled: "Actually, it is not difficult to understand that so many people come from the Yan family."

"Why?" Bai Xiao looked over.

Bai Yuchen said: "I also heard from the elders of the family. It should be roughly next spring. The Spirit Controller Conference is about to be held. I heard that the Yan family is actively promoting the change of the executive committee. It is estimated that the Yan family should have produced many capable successors, which makes them have any hope for this. So they must take advantage of this public trading, and they must make some big moves."

Bai Yuchen then introduced the so-called spirit control meeting. Bai Xiao immediately understood after hearing this. The Yan family was probably like their Bai family, and they were also preparing to make a big profit in this public market. And it was obvious that the Yan family's courage seemed to be a little bigger than the Bai family, and they had a lot of plans!

At this time, the waiter started serving the dishes. Bai Lu called everyone, then opened a box of juice, and poured Bai Xiao a cup very attentively.
Chapter completed!
