"You mean to say that your father is preparing for a breakthrough and great success in this retreat. After great success, no one will be his opponent?" The eldest lady nodded: "Our family's magic is passed down from generation to generation. Father,

In addition to me, there are three other disciples, two of whom I have seen before. The senior brother is no longer here. The second senior brother is now locked up and no one is allowed to come near him!" Flathead frowned slightly,

It turned out that the city lord once mentioned three disciples. He asked curiously: "What about the third disciple? Why have I never seen that little disciple after I have been here for so long?" Wanting blinked:

"That little disciple is my father's favorite. Of course, the reason for my true love is not his attainments in magic, but that he is still young. For a father who has no son, he is even half a son, so he is in retreat with my father.

During this period of time, that little disciple has been taking care of her, so you have never seen her..." Pingtou frowned tightly, listening to Wanting, the little disciple was only seventeen years old, or

The age when the mind is not yet mature.

And the relationship between him and the city lord is quite good. He is an orphan. After the city lord adopted him, he really raised him as his own son...

Pingtou suddenly uttered a sentence, which means that the young son was raised by the city lord with all his efforts. Is it possible that he will pass on the position of city lord a hundred years later to this young disciple who loves him with all his heart? Pingtou knows

, Asking such a question to Wanting, Wanting must be repelled in her heart.

In his opinion, in addition to his father, these three brothers are also one of his relatives. He does not believe that any of these three people have any rebellious intentions towards his father.

Especially the little disciple whom she regards as her biological brother. That little disciple has a very vivid name called Zhang Xiaodi.

Probably because the city lord regarded him as his most beloved son, he gave him such a name and kept him with him at all times. He probably also wanted to teach him carefully and train him to be his successor.

In fact, these phenomena are no longer a secret in the mansion. Wanting naturally heard about it and coughed lightly.

"These things are originally the private affairs of our Zhang family. It's not easy to tell you. Since you have already asked, I can explain to you a little. The relationship between the three brothers is very subtle, although it looks very complicated on the surface.

Harmony, but due to differences in temperament and temperament, there were some conflicts, but because my father was still there, they did not dare to make too big a fuss, and they were all put down by my father's methods."

According to Wanting, senior brother Liu Chengzhi is indeed easier to fight. He doesn't covet the position of city lord a hundred years after his master. He always feels that it is quite an honor for him to be able to serve under his master.

However, as the eldest disciple, he has won the support of many people in the mansion.

These people gossiped a lot in private. They felt that Liu Chengzhi was the best candidate to inherit the company.

Flathead reached out and touched his chin: "I can understand that Liu Chengzhi is not the only one who can compromise or give in on this kind of thing. When more and more people gather around him and become a party, things will follow.

Is it formed?" Wanting nodded, of course he knew that in the seemingly peaceful mansion, there was actually an undercurrent surging long ago, and the so-called drama of the Nine Dragons seizing the heir in the storybook novel was about to be staged around him.

"My father is a smart man. In addition to focusing on cultivation, he also pays attention to many things in the mansion, especially regarding the three disciples... After the formation of the senior brother's party, the second senior brother was naturally not to be outdone, because

Many people believe that the second senior brother is extremely smart and resolute in his work. He is not comparable to the always honest and kind senior brother, so he is the best candidate to succeed the city lord."

Some people support the boss, and others will naturally support the *. After all, in this process of seizing the heir, their ultimate goal is to gain the maximum benefit.

Therefore, in the eyes of some people, the formation of a faction is inevitable. However, these people did not expect that in addition to the two disciples, there was also a little-known person who was not very old and made it difficult for anyone to compete.

The third disciple was not taken seriously! The reason was that the city lord's care for the third disciple had gone beyond the scope of ordinary disciples. It seemed to have regarded Little Brother Zhang as its own son. This kind of thing was a bit subtle.

"So? The third disciple's party has appeared again?" Wanting shook her head: "The third junior brother is still a relatively pure person. After all, he is very young and does not understand the struggle between the parties, so there are not many people around him.

Not many, even if some people gave him advice, the pure third junior brother seemed to turn a deaf ear."

In this way, before the third force had time to form, the city lord announced his retreat and said that during his retreat, he would be taken care of by his third disciple, Zhang Xiaodi. As a result, the entire mansion was already in a state of uproar.

.

Pingtou also naturally understood that this matter was more complicated than he imagined. The person who really killed Liu Chengzhi must have coveted the taste of maturity. So apart from Zhang Xiaodi, who had no intention of competing, the biggest suspect

Sure enough, it was Huangfu... The eldest lady couldn't help but sigh: "I know, if I tell you these complicated things, you will definitely laugh at us. We are brothers who have deep feelings, but for a

The position of city lord has become like this. My father is still very young, strong and strong, and his skills are still growing greatly. So what is the point of competing for the position of city lord now?" Flathead frowned slightly, he

It seemed that he had heard some incredible information again. He was young, strong and had profound skills.

These information elements were in Ping Tou's head, and they kept spinning in his head. He seemed to have avoided them from the beginning, and even missed a certain question. When Ping Tou picked up the problem again, Ping Tou suddenly felt that things had become a little unbelievable.

.

"Wanting, let me ask you, what role does Shitu Lei play in this matter? Does he also covet the position of city lord? Or, is he secretly supporting a certain disciple?"

Although he had only been in contact with Situ Lei for a short time, Ping Tou could tell that he was the most scheming person in the entire Yucheng Mansion.

Pingtou couldn't even grasp the trajectory of this guy's actions and his inner thoughts. It was obvious that he could never stay out of this turbulent battle to seize the inheritance. With his identity and the city government, he had probably already intervened in this matter, but

Just so that outsiders can't see it.

Wanting hesitated for a long time: "To be honest, Situ Lei is quite loyal to my father. At least on the surface, he does not favor anyone. Maybe in his opinion, who is elected? For him, the next city lord is...

There won't be a big difference, after all, he is about the same age as my father..." Wanting did not explain it more clearly, but in his heart, his father must have lived a long life, after all, his magic practice

is getting higher and higher.

He could even feel that his father was getting younger and younger in the process of practicing magic. The wrinkles on his face suddenly disappeared and he turned into a young boy.

Before the eldest lady had time to ask her father what kind of skills he practiced and whether he could pass it on to her so that she could maintain a beautiful appearance and never age, her father had already entered the retreat stage in a hurry.

The eldest lady was still a little unhappy in her heart. He thought that one day his father would finish his training and break out, and he would have to complain about him as a father.

But this time some things that were very ordinary in Wanting's eyes felt extremely strange in Pingtou's eyes. He always felt that the Lord of Jade City was not as peaceful as everyone imagined during the period of seclusion... After Pingtou understood the situation,

He grabbed Wanting's arm with his hand: "By the way, I have two very important things to ask you. You can go to the dungeon with me now. I think with your identity, you will definitely convince the other party to let you in!"

Ting suddenly realized it, and said that the crew cut had changed her temper, and finally realized her own importance, so she turned around and begged herself? "I'm just saying, you must have something to do with me, you are such a thief, you can do it when you don't need me.

He kicked me aside and came over to coax me when he was using me. Do you think I should agree? Or shouldn't I agree?" Of course he had to agree. Flathead's face was very serious at this time: "I wasn't following you just now.

Are you kidding? This matter is not only related to me, but also to you!" Wanting was doubtful. He didn't know whether Pingtou was deceiving himself by saying this? Or was it true? He didn't know.

He believed that his father's status as the owner of Yucheng Mansion meant that his safety would really be threatened, but the situation in front of him made it increasingly difficult for him to see clearly.

He always felt that in the entire huge courtyard, the only outsider he could trust was Ping Tou, and the rest were all mysterious and had their own little thoughts hidden in their hearts.

She couldn't understand any of it. Wanting sighed softly and patted Flathead's shoulder.

"Okay? You come with me, but my abilities are limited. Although I am the eldest lady, if the housekeeper wants to block our progress, those people probably won't listen to me. This is called a strong dragon.

Overwhelm the local snake."

Ping Tou knew that all the guards guarding the dungeon were Situ Lei's men, so he had two considerations in doing so.

If Wanting can really bring him in safely, it will prove that she has overthought herself. If she can see Huangfu Songtao in person, he must ask the matter clearly.

If even the eldest lady cannot break through this barrier, it means that Situ Lei has already made a small plan in his mind, and he has slowly emptied the power of the eldest lady and even the city lord.

In this way, Wanting led Flathead to the dungeon hidden deep in the backyard. The nearby guards immediately became alert when they saw Flathead wandering around again.

Ping Tou could see that Situ Lei must have told them something. In the process of explaining, he may have listed Ping Tou as his primary target, and Ping Tou must not be allowed in.

Wanting coughed lightly and rushed over with a step that she didn't recognize her relatives.

After all, if something happens to the city lord, this eldest lady can be regarded as the person with the highest status in the cauldron.
