Chapter 343: Six Cities of Jiangnan
There are a total of six cities in Jiangnan Province.
They are Jinling City, Jinghang City, Wuxiang City, Suzhou City, Luzhou City, and Yangzhou City!
At the end of each year, these six cities hold a grand martial arts competition.
The purpose of the competition is to determine the resource allocation for the coming year!
The resources include various aspects, from high-tech industries to ordinary dining and entertainment, as well as some martial arts resources distributed from above…
The higher the ranking, the more martial arts resources, wealth, and other benefits one can receive!
Why has the martial arts community in Jinling become increasingly weak?
It is precisely because they have ranked at the bottom for nearly a decade in the competitions…
At this moment.
In a luxurious manor in Jinling City.
Representatives from the martial arts families of the other five cities have gathered together.
Each of these individuals possesses considerable strength, including several masters…
Although masters are quite common in some other places, in Jiangnan Province, martial arts masters are top-tier existences, attracting attention and respect wherever they go!
“Everyone, there are only three days left until the competition. What are your thoughts?”
A middle-aged man in gray sat on a genuine leather sofa, smiling as he addressed the martial artists from various families.
The middle-aged man is named Lu Jialin.
He is the head of the Lu family, the foremost martial arts family in Wuxiang City, and a late-stage master!
At this moment, he was comfortably holding two attractive women in his arms, looking quite relaxed!
Aside from him, other martial artists in the room also had one or two beautiful women accompanying them…
What is the purpose of a man’s struggle?
It is nothing more than status, money, and beautiful women in their teens.
Although they are prominent figures in their respective cities, they are no exception!
On the surface, they may appear serious, but in reality, they gather together to enjoy themselves…
“Head Lu, the competition is just a formality!”
“Isn’t the reason everyone came to Jinling City early just to have some fun?”
“After all, among the six cities in Jiangnan, the women in Jinling City are the most charming!”
Bao Yihan, the head of the foremost martial arts family in Luzhou City, said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the representatives from the other three cities exchanged glances but did not voice any objections!
In previous competitions, the rankings have consistently been Wuxiang City, Luzhou City, Jinghang City, Suzhou City, Yangzhou City, and Jinling City!
This ranking has not changed for ten years!
Lu Jialin from Wuxiang City is reputed to be the strongest in Jiangnan, and the Lu family has the backing of the hidden sect Qixingmen.
Therefore, no one dares to defy his words!
If anyone dares to argue, the consequences will be dire!
At this moment, Lu Jialin suddenly shifted his gaze to a woman.
The woman had a voluptuous figure and an alluring charm, resembling a ripe peach, ready to burst with sweetness.
Her name is Zhang Qian, the head of the Zhang family in Jinghang City!
Zhang Qian is indeed a woman of means; she married the elderly head of the Zhang family when she was just eighteen!
After the old head passed away, she somehow managed to take control of the Zhang family, making her a figure of great influence!
“Sister Zhang, what are your thoughts?”
Lu Jialin asked with a smile.
“Hehe, I’m just following Brother Lu’s lead,” Zhang Qian replied, gazing at Lu Jialin with a flirtatious look.
What a captivating charm!
Lu Jialin felt a surge of desire.
Although the two women in his arms were eighteen, they clearly could not compare to the refined allure of a noblewoman like Zhang Qian!
He pushed the two women away and stood up, walking towards Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian, with her enchanting eyes, rested her delicate hands on the sofa, watching Lu Jialin approach without a hint of panic.
Seeing this scene, the other martial artists in the room understood and began to stand up, bidding their farewells!
Just then, Lu Jialin’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Yun Zhongtian, the law enforcer of Jinling, calling him!
What does this old guy want to call me for?
Could it be that he wants to plead for mercy on behalf of the martial arts community in Jinling City?
Lu Jialin answered the call, chatted briefly, and then hung up, a hint of a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Bao Yihan noticed this smile and quickly asked, “Head Lu, who called?”
“It was that old guy Yun Zhongtian from Jinling!”
Lu Jialin chuckled lightly and continued, “This old fellow probably saw that we all came early and got scared, so he wants to treat everyone to dinner at the Jinling Grand Hotel tonight, to chat and promote friendship between both sides!”
“Hahaha!”
Bao Yihan, Zhang Qian, and the others couldn’t help but burst into laughter!
So the martial artists of Jinling City finally learned to be afraid?
But is it a bit too late to try to curry favor and plead for mercy now?
“Head Lu, should we go?”
“Of course! Why not go if someone is treating us?”
“You all go ahead first; I have some matters to discuss with Head Zhang and need to delve deeper into our conversation. I’ll join you later!”
“Remember! Leave them some face; don’t go too far, or it won’t be interesting when I arrive later!”
Lu Jialin instructed.
“Understood!”
Bao Yihan chuckled and immediately headed to the Jinling Grand Hotel with the representatives from the other cities!
Once everyone had left, Lu Jialin turned his gaze back to Zhang Qian, who stood up without hesitation, wrapping her arms around his waist and smiling seductively, “I wonder what Head Lu wants to discuss with me in depth?”
