Lin Chen smiled and said: "The Lord of the City is too modest. This boundless land is jointly controlled by the four major families and the other three major races. The Lord of the City is not only the Lord of Phoenix City, but also the talker of the four major families in Phoenix City.
, the attitude of the city lord is still very important. I have a humble status and am an outsider. I can't speak among the four major families, so I can only come to the city lord for help."
Although Xiao Jin could understand what they were saying, he didn't understand what they were talking about. His eyes were glancing around, and he seemed to be more interested in the environment of the living room than in the conversation of a few people.
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Ce tapped the armrest with his right hand, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Jin: "If I guessed correctly, this bird should be the legendary golden-winged roc."
It is no secret that Lin Chen has a spiritual pet called the Great Peng, and Xuanyuan Ce has naturally heard about it.
"quack…"
When Xiao Jin saw that he was talking about himself, he barked at Xuanyuan Ce a few times, but he also saw that this human being was not easy to mess with. After barking a few times, he still stayed on Lin Chen's shoulder, looking very honest.
Lin Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Ce would bring the topic to Xiao Jin. The temptation of the Golden-winged Dapeng was indeed not small, but none of the four major families participated in the Jianshan dispute. Naturally, Xuanyuan Ce would not attack Xiao Jin.
idea, then when he mentioned Xiao Jin, he changed the subject intentionally. He nodded and said: "Exactly."
Xuanyuan Ce smiled and said: "Good birds choose trees to roost. The young master can be recognized by the golden-winged roc, which means that the young master must be outstanding."
Lin Chen said: "The city lord has given me a reward."
Xuanyuan Ce waved his hand and said: "Young Master, you don't have to be too modest. In fact, I have noticed the young Master since he first came to Phoenix City. If I guessed correctly, the mysterious man who defeated the barbarian warrior that time was the young master."
Lord."
Lin Chen was stunned. He had already done that thing very secretly. He didn't expect that he still couldn't hide it from Xuanyuan Ce. Doesn't that mean that his every move in Phoenix City was under his surveillance, including the fact that he was killed by the Shadow Assassin?
He definitely couldn't hide the pursuit from him. He was indeed the Lord of Phoenix City. Fortunately, he didn't do anything too outrageous, otherwise... But when he assassinated Lu Li last time, he caused a lot of damage, not only destroying the streets.
, and destroyed many buildings. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Ce seemed to have no intention of pursuing the case.
In this way, Xuanyuan Ce's affairs must not be hidden from Sun Zhengyang.
These four major families are indeed terrifying. Even the city lord of Phoenix City is so impressive. No wonder even the superpowers of Central Continent dare not interfere in the affairs of the Borderless Land.
If someone wants to do harm to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Also stunned were Xing Tong and Xiao Man. The mysterious strongman Rabbit who defeated the barbarian warriors turned out to be Lin Chen!
Xingtong was not present at that time, and she heard what happened during the battle from Lin Chen, otherwise she would have noticed it, but there is a big gap between what she heard and what she saw with her own eyes. Later, Xingtong also had doubts, but they were just doubts.
, not sure. Now that she heard what Xuanyuan Ce said, she remembered this matter again, and since when did Lin Chen have the power of blood? Is it because of the dragon beads and Dapeng essence and blood?
Xuanyuan Ce smiled and said: "Young master, don't be nervous. Some of the things that the young master did in Phoenix City are just some of the young master's personal grudges, and this palace will not interfere."
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Xuanyuan Ce was talking about what happened that night. Whether it was personal grudges or other reasons, after all, he made such a big noise on someone else's territory. If others don't pursue it, he must have this awareness.
Xingtong listened to Xuanyuan Ce and Lin Chen chatting about each other, and the topic got further and further away. She did not interrupt. Lin Chen was the young master of the Sword Tomb, so naturally Lin Chen had to talk about this matter.
After chatting for a long time, Lin Chen finally found an opportunity to bring the conversation back to the main topic.
Xuanyuan Ce pondered for a moment and said: "Since the young master has made a declaration of war to Lord Tianji, this matter is not something that I can intervene in. The young master should also know that although I am the lord of Phoenix City, there are some things that cannot be done by me.
I alone have the final say, and there are many things that I can’t help with.”
Lin Chen knew that Xuanyuan Ce knew that this was not what he meant. His words were still prevarication, so he had no choice but to make it clear.
Lin Chen said: "I know that there are some things that it is difficult for the City Lord to make decisions. Since I have written a letter of challenge to Lord Tianji, I want to give the City Lord a reason."
Tianji Pavilion has reason to put pressure on the four major families. If the four major families want to be their protective umbrella, then they must also give the four major families a reason.
"We at Jianzhong wrote a letter of challenge to Lord Tianji to act in accordance with the rules of Phoenix City. Since Tianji Pavilion accepted the letter of challenge, we naturally had to act in accordance with the rules of Phoenix City, and the rules of Phoenix City are also the rules of the four major families. That day
Ji Ge must follow the rules of the four major families."
Xuanyuan Ce still didn't speak, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes.
Lin Chen continued: "How about I make a bet with the city lord?"
"oh?"
Xuanyuan Ce became interested: "How to bet?"
Lin Chen said calmly: "Let's bet on who can win in the end between our Sword Tomb and Tianji Pavilion."
The expression on Xuanyuan Ce's face suddenly became serious, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "As far as I know, the Medicine King is not with you, so how can you win?"
Lin Chen said: "Since it is a bet, there are wins and losses, but winning or losing does not have much impact on Phoenix City. To be precise, this is a bet between our Sword Tomb and Tianji Pavilion, and the city lord is just a witness to this bet.
People, so no matter who wins, the City Lord will not lose anything."
Lin Chen felt that he must be on guard against others. Naturally, they could not all leave Jianshan. If Tianji Pavilion responded to the challenge and sent people to steal the house, and the house was gone, then even if the battle was won, what would be the point.
Xuanyuan Ce looked at Lin Chen for a long time. He remembered that Lin Chen had not broken through to the sixth realm half a year ago. Now everyone around him has reached the sixth realm. Although he could not see through Lin Chen, he could guess that he must have broken through to the sixth realm.
However, there is still a big gap with the strength of Tianji Pavilion. The four major families will definitely not intervene in this fight. He really can't think of how Lin Chen and the others can win.
However, Lin Chen seemed to be very confident. Last time, so many strong men from the Sixth Realm were killed in the battle of Jianshan, but the final winners were a few juniors. The result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Maybe a few people can also bring about surprises this time.
"Even if you can win, I alone cannot represent the wishes of the four major families."
Lin Chen smiled and said: "I think the four major families will definitely agree with the city lord's decision."
"Are you so sure?"
Xuanyuan Ce asked.
Lin Chen smiled and said nothing. Naturally, he was sure that the four major families just wanted a reason. Otherwise, Jianshan would have been lost long ago.
He didn't know what Qin Xiao did ten years ago, but this matter must be related to Qin Xiao.
This made Lin Chen even more curious, what kind of person was this Qin Xiao?
