624 Chapter 653: the candidates of each family (I)
Just as elder Li had said, after the news came out, the elders of the various aristocratic families started to make a move. One after another, they all wanted to send their children to the list.
When elder Li went back, he found that all the old men in their 70s and 80s had moved chairs to block the door of his house. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!
“Elder Li, you can do it!”One of the men at the door was very tall, however, the old man, whose body had shrunk due to his old age, looked at the other man in a bad mood. “You don’t give us face when we retire, do you? You Don’t even pick up the phone. You’re so arrogant!”
The man who spoke was Lei Jianzhong. He had an extremely high position in the military and was elder Li’s boss in the past. He was already 82 years old and had retired a long time ago. He usually kept a low profile, but he didn’t expect that this matter would force this Buddha out…
Elder Li immediately smiled bitterly and thought to himself, as expected, how could there be no selfishness in the human world? Elder Lei was famous for being impartial, but at this critical moment, he could not help but use a backdoor method…
“What? You Don’t even want to reply to this old man?”Elder lei sneered.
“Old boss, don’t make things difficult for me…”elder Li smiled bitterly and said, “Can I handle all of your calls alone?”
“Heh, you’re a busy man. Your hands have gone soft after receiving the calls, and you don’t want to answer them!”
Elder Li rolled his eyes when he heard that. Because it was elder Tian who said that, he couldn’t help but laugh in anger, “You Old Bachelor, why are you here to join in the fun?”
Elder Tian chuckled when he heard that. He was indeed here to watch the joke. His son had passed away in his early years, and he didn’t have any other children. He only had a granddaughter, so naturally, he didn’t have the same thoughts as the elders around him… …
“It’s useless to talk about this…”elder lei waved his hand and said, “We’re already here, so you should at least give us an explanation, right?”
Elder Li was rather speechless when faced with such an old hooligan’s attitude. However, it was his fault for having such a high status. If it was someone else, he might not have been so polite, but this person just had to come.
“Leader said that each of your aristocratic families can only recommend two spots, and the number of commoner children accounts for 90% . It’s a fair competition, so no one can play tricks. If you want to send your own children to luofu, then let’s see what your children can do!”
“This…”everyone immediately looked at each other. Elder long and the others immediately left without saying anything. They had to seize the time to choose the outstanding children in their families!
Elder Li looked at those old fellows who had originally opposed the cooperation with the extraordinaires and were so enthusiastic this time. He could not help but sneer and raise his voice, “It must be military status!”
Hearing this, elder long and the rest froze. Their faces sank slightly, and they continued to walk forward.
After elder long and the rest left, elder lei smiled and asked in a low voice, “Is there really no backdoor?”
“Old leader… Please don’t make things difficult for me… It’s not like you don’t know the character of the leader. How can there be a backdoor for such a major event… I’ve already worked very hard to get to this stage!”
“Mm…”elder lei nodded. He was familiar with the current leader and hated aristocratic families monopolizing resources the most. This time, he didn’t take the opportunity to exclude all the descendants of the aristocratic families as a sign of respect… …
“Fair competition then. The children of my old Lei family are not in vain! !”Elder Lei laughed loudly and left with his head held high and chest puffed out. His posture didn’t look like an old man in his eighties at all…
And with the old lei left, those old men around have dispersed, apparently also anxious to go back to arrange their families in the army to hurry back!
Old Li was not long-winded. He was ready to go home and call back the children of the fourth family after he had given the order. There were not many young people who were willing to serve in the army. The two children of the fourth family could be considered quite promising, let the two children go this time!

Liu Jia:
“Pops… aren’t you being a little… biased?”
In the hall of the Liu family, the second son of the Liu family interrogates the old man sitting in the head of the hall with a gloomy face. . .
Old Liu glared at him in annoyance. He no longer had much thought about the second family. After all, he could do such a selfish thing last time. Even if he really allowed his family to gain power, it was likely that he would not consider the Liu family’s friendship.
Hence, he said stiffly, “What does this have to do with me being biased? According to the rules, it must be military status. This is only suitable for elder and his two children…”
After elder Liu received the news and returned home, he realized that out of the three generations of children, only elder and his two children were still in the military. He could not help but sigh. It was still the elder’s upbringing that was steady. Otherwise, the traditions of the Liu family’s military family would have been broken.
Speaking of which, that child Shiyu was really something. He didn’t even inform his family about such a big matter in advance. It almost made them miss such an opportunity.
“What’s so important about this?”Elder Liu immediately said anxiously, “Tomorrow, I’ll let Wen Hao enter the army to register. Won’t he have a military status? What’s so difficult about this?”
Hearing this, elder Liu directly rolled his eyes at the other party. He couldn’t be bothered with the other party, he looked up at his boss, who was standing straight, and said, “Jianjun, Guodong and Guoxian are in the army all year round. They rarely come back during the holidays. You know their situation better. Are you sure?”
Hearing the old man’s question, the old man knew that he still intended to give the quota to his two children. He was so excited that his whole body trembled!
It was impossible for him not to feel indignant that his children could not come over at the foot of Mount Kunlun the last time. This time, he naturally wanted his children to give it a try!
But after his excitement, he still regained his composure, he lowered his voice and said, “Grandfather, although the two children graduated from military schools, their natures are different. Guodong went to the command department, and I asked instructor Hong to personally train him. He trained with the various military commanders for a full five years. I believe that Guodong’s physical fitness and on-the-spot judgment are not inferior to the others. If he were to participate, he should have a great chance of getting another quota for our Liu family… But Guoxian… “…”
He paused for a moment and looked back at his second son’s anxious expression, in the end, he steeled his heart and said, “Guoxian liked engineering since he was young and didn’t like to practice martial arts, so he entered the military academy to study ship and ocean engineering and walked the path of a technical officer. This kid’s talent in this area is not bad, and I didn’t open any backdoors for him. He managed to get the qualification of a level five engineer by himself, which is also very impressive, but… “…”. “This talent might not be of much help in the selection this time!”
Behind Liu Jianjun, Liu Guoxian’s expression instantly darkened. Although his father had affirmed his efforts, it was clear that he intended to let him give up the spot this time…
Elder Liu nodded repeatedly when he heard that and thought to himself, ‘boss is still sensible…’. …
“That’s right!”The second son of the Liu family immediately added, “Big Brother is speaking the truth. What do you think Guoxian, that child, is going to do with a technical soldier’s spot? It’s better to let Wenhao go. The chances are much greater…”
Elder Liu immediately frowned. From the current situation of the remaining Liu family members, Liu Wenhao was indeed the best candidate, although his character was not that good… But…
“Old Master, What Are You hesitating for?”The second son of the Liu family immediately said anxiously, “This is also for our Liu Family!”
Elder Liu rolled his eyes at the other party when he heard that. To think that this fellow could still say such words…
Just as he was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the hall, “Brother Guoxian, you don’t have to give up the quota…”
Just as elder Liu was about to make a helpless decision, he heard this voice and was immediately shocked. He looked up and was immediately pleasantly surprised, “You stinky brat, why are you only here now?”
The person who came was precisely brother Dog, Liu Shiyu!
“Grandfather!”Brother Dog went forward and called out intimately.
“You Little Brat, what are you doing in the sect? That girl from the Li family can even make decisions on such a big matter. Look at you…”elder Liu said in a bad mood.
Brother Dog immediately smiled bitterly when he heard that. Wasn’t this nonsense? This nonsense was made up by Li Goudan. If she didn’t make the decision, who would?
“Shiyu, what are you here to stir up trouble for?”Second Brother Liu immediately asked with a bad feeling in his heart.
Brother Dog directly ignored his second uncle. He walked up to elder Liu and said, “I’ve received news that the main target of this recruitment is actually technical soldiers. Those who are in command will be at a disadvantage!”
Once these words were said, the originally dejected Liu Guoxian was suddenly jolted… …
Second Brother Liu’s face was gloomy as he said, “Shiyu, this is a big matter. Don’t use your identity to spout nonsense. This sect is recruiting people. Why is he recruiting those technical soldiers?”
“I’m not as capable as you, second uncle…”brother dog replied with a sneer.
“You…”
“Okay!”Grandpa Liu immediately interrupted second brother’s speech and looked at Brother Dog. “Shiyu, are you sure about this?”
“It’s true!”Brother Dog secretly recited the excuse given to him by the Lord. “The main opposition force in cooperating with the authorities this time is the moving mountain gate, which is where I am, and Gou Dan…”. “Ahem, Jiayi’s Xuanji gate is supportive. In order to ensure the fairness of this test, the main reason for recruiting this time is to enter the third party, the Xing Hai Gate!”
“This Xing Hai Gate is different from ordinary cultivators like us. It’s the orthodoxy of the ancient Mo family’s disciples. They specialize in the field of artifact refinement and creation. When they recruit people in the modern era, they mainly favor the talented disciples who are good at engineering. Therefore, the technical arms are easier to be selected!”
“Oh… I See! !”Elder Liu immediately nodded. “I didn’t expect such a situation. Good grandson, you gave good information this time! !”
“This… this…”elder Liu instantly became anxious. He wanted to say that brother dog was definitely bluffing, but it was hard to say. After all, he was an inner sect disciple. There was no need to say anything to refute who elder Liu believed, okay?
Behind his father, Liu Wenhao’s expression became even gloomier as he looked at brother dog with an even gloomier expression.
On the other hand, Liu Guoxian looked as if he had been hit by the grand prize. He was so excited that he almost lost his balance. His father, who was at the side, quickly helped him up, he stared at him and said, “What are you happy about? Look at how useless you are. You only have a chance. If you go, you will have to compete with others!”
He paused for a moment and said, “But since you have this chance, you are not allowed to embarrass the old Liu family. Do You Hear Me?”
“Yes, Father!”Liu Guoxian immediately stood up straight. “I will definitely not let you guys down!”
“Hurry up and thank Shiyu. If he didn’t bring this news, how would you have the chance…”
“Shiyu…”Guoxian looked at brother dog with a grateful expression and bowed solemnly. “Thank you!”
“We’re a family, let’s not talk about this…”brother dog waved his hand nonchalantly. “Brother, you can do it, I have faith in you…”
In his heart, he thought to himself, ‘damn, that guy, Gou Dan, is really good at making up stories. The key is…’. … He really believes it. …
