"Why are the senior brothers and sisters so sad?"
Lin Bai turned around and saw that Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun and others all looked tired.
The ancestors Zhang Bailiu, Pan Qing and others are worried about the clan affairs, which is understandable and understandable.
But he couldn't understand why Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun and others were like this too.
"Hey, Senior Brother Shengzi, it's hard to explain in just one sentence."
Bai Yifei and Zhou Xin both looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then they slowly explained their reasons.
Ever since Tianshui Sect received the support of His Highness King Chen, it has shown signs of resurgence, especially with the support of Lin Bai, a big tree, and it has been invincible in the territory of Chu State.
When the Tianshui Sect was in decline, even the passing dogs would bark twice, and no one wanted to pay attention to the Tianshui Sect.
But now that Tianshui Sect has made a comeback, with the big tree of Lin Bai at its back, many families and sects are rushing to come and make friends.
For example, small and medium-sized families in the imperial capital send greeting cards almost day and night.
As long as Bai Yifei and Zhou Xin both want to participate, there will be banquets almost every day.
Only then did they realize Lin Bai's difficulty. Just being busy with social activities was enough to consume too much of his time.
Small and medium-sized families are easier to deal with. The biggest headache for Bai Yifei and Zhou Xinjun is the banquets given by the Li family, Zhao family, Wentian Sect, Tiandimen and others.
Tianshui Sect supports His Highness King Chen and is hostile to them.
Although the heirloom has ended now, the grievances between several major sects and families have actually been forged.
Facing their banquet, it was wrong for Bai Yifei to go, and it was wrong not to go. This was extremely difficult.
"Senior Brother Shengzi, tell us what we should do?"
Bai Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Lin Bai for advice.
Lin Bai answered them frankly: "Although it is inconvenient for me to go to the banquets held by the Li family, Zhao family, Wentian Sect, Sun family and other family clans, there is no problem for you to attend."
"We are political enemies with them, and we don't have any deep grudges."
"The heirloom is over. You don't have to be so formal. Just go to the banquet you need to attend."
After Bai Yifei and Zhou Xin both received Lin Bai's approval, they already had a plan in mind.
Lin Bai continued: "In addition... although Tianshui Sect and them were once political enemies, they have actually formed a grudge. You can also take this opportunity to make more friends with the core disciples of their family and sect."
"These core disciples will be the pillars of their families and sects in the future. Through them, many grievances may be eliminated."
When Bai Yifei and Zhou Xin heard this, their thoughts suddenly became clear.
They realized that what Lin Bai said was right. The third prince and His Highness Prince Chen could turn their hostility into friendship because of the special rules of the royal family.
The Tianshui Sect, the Li family, the Zhao family and other family sects were political enemies in the past. The royal family's fight for the heir was over, but there was a real grudge between them.
The Li family, Zhao family and other families and sects must be thinking...if Tianshui Sect had not intervened, the position of prince would have belonged to the third prince they supported.
Therefore, when the third prince failed to seize the rightful son, the Li family, the Zhao family and other families would inevitably fall on the Tianshui Sect.
It's just that His Highness King Chen has just gained power, and the Tianshui Sect is also at its peak. These families and sects don't dare to make mistakes easily.
Lin Bai asked Bai Yifei and Zhou Xinjun to have more contact with the core disciples of their family and sect, just to build a good relationship and leave a lasting relationship.
Only when they slowly take power within the family and look at their past friendship can they slowly resolve these grievances.
It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies!
Moreover, now that Tianshui Sect has just shown signs of rising again, it cannot make too many enemies at the moment.
"I'll understand. Thank you, Senior Brother Shengzi, for your guidance."
Bai Yifei, Zhou Xinjun, Yi Zien, Li Juenian and others all accepted their orders.
At this time.
The servants in Tianshui Sect's palace rushed to the door to report.
"For the record, seniors, someone is coming to the palace."
"welcome."
Hearing that it was someone coming from the palace, ancestor Zhang Bailiu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly invited him in.
at the same time.
Ancestor Zhang Bailiu also said to Lin Bai: "If my guess is correct, this person should come here for the Holy Son."
Lin Bai smiled bitterly: "I have just come out of seclusion. Did Emperor Chu get the news of my release so soon?"
As he spoke, Lin Bai looked at the Tianshui Sect's palace. It was obvious that their every move was under the close surveillance of Zhaoxing Division and Emperor Chu.
However, Lin Bai didn't care about this. It was a special matter now, and the Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army would definitely vigorously monitor the powerful people in the imperial capital.
Not long after.
Your father-in-law hurried in, panting from running.
"Father-in-law, don't be anxious."
Lin Bai hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.
Your father-in-law is the chief eunuch in the palace and is a close official of His Majesty the Emperor of Chu.
According to the official rankings of the Chu State, he only had a third-grade official position. However, despite his special status, many princes and generals in the imperial capital had to bow respectfully when they met him.
"You don't need to be polite, Lord Wolf Marquis." Your father-in-law said with a smile: "Master Lang Marquis, please stop talking nonsense and follow me into the palace. Your Majesty invites you."
"good."
Lin Bai had already guessed that your father-in-law was here to invite him to the palace, so he agreed without hesitation.
Without any explanation to the ancestors and disciples of the Tianshui Sect, Lin Bai entered the palace with your father-in-law.
On the way, your father-in-law whispered to Lin Bai: "The news that the top sect's saint son and ancestor were kidnapped has been leaked. Lord Lang has just come out of seclusion, so he probably doesn't know yet, right?"
"I heard about it." Lin Bai explained: "Although I have just come out of seclusion, my ancestor has already briefly told me some of the recent events in the imperial capital, and I have learned a lot about it."
"Now that Lord Wolf has heard the news, I won't say any more."
The noble father-in-law smiled gracefully: "Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, most likely to discuss this matter."
Lin Bai nodded and followed your father-in-law silently.
A doubt suddenly appeared in his mind. Normally when His Majesty the Emperor of Chu summoned Lin Bai, he would just send a young eunuch to come.
And this time, the eunuch chief actually came in person?
I don’t know whether Emperor Chu did it deliberately, or whether your princess wanted to come?
Moreover, when Lin Bai saw this noble father-in-law on weekdays, although he would say hello, it was just an acquaintance, without a deep friendship.
But today, when your father-in-law was on his way to the palace, he specifically reminded Lin Bai of the purpose of summoning him.
He obviously wanted Lin Bai to think of a way to deal with it in advance.
"Are you trying to show your favor to me?"
Lin Bai murmured in his heart that your father-in-law's actions were undoubtedly a sign of goodwill to him. He felt quite emotional in his heart. When the Tianshui Sect was in decline, even dogs didn't want to talk to him. Now that the Tianshui Sect came to power, even the attitudes of the ministers around His Majesty the Chu Emperor have changed.
