This angry shout was not only shocking, but also very sudden, causing everyone present to feel slight pain in their eardrums and their hearts pounding.
"nephew……"
After hearing this shocking roar, Mr. Leng turned around quickly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a familiar figure walking out from the back of the hall!
This is a very sturdy man with a square face. He looks to be in his fifties. He has long black hair that sways in the wind, giving him a bohemian look.
The square-faced man wore a simple blood-colored brocade coat, embroidered with mysterious lines that intertwined with each other, which was quite exquisite.
The square-faced man was walking like a dragon and a tiger. As he marched, he carried a powerful aura that made people surrender, and behind him was Huo Qingnian, who was dressed in gray robes!
"City... City Lord, why did you come out?"
The moment he saw the square-faced man, Mr. Leng, who had looked angry and arrogant just now, was suddenly filled with panic, and his whole body could not help but tremble slightly.
"Is this person Xuan Mohai, the city lord of Beixuan City?"
Chu Tian frowned slightly, stared at the square-faced man who was walking into the hall, and whispered.
What makes Chu Tian a little confused is that he is obviously not the other party's nephew and does not know the other party, but the other party just took the initiative to call him his nephew!
Subconsciously, Chu Tian noticed the bloody robe Xuan Mohai was wearing, and his heart skipped a beat!
"I've met the city lord!"
Soon, Xuan Mohai came to the main seat and sat down. Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
Now that Xuan Mohai is here, Mr. Leng basically doesn't have a say.
For some things, they can communicate directly with Xuan Mohai instead of going through Master Leng!
After Xuan Mohai sat down, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Lord City Lord, is he really your nephew?"
After a breath, Master Leng asked in a low voice with an anxious mood.
Unexpectedly, Xuan Mohai shook his head and replied lightly: "No, strictly speaking, he is not my nephew..."
"call……"
Hearing this, Mr. Leng breathed a long sigh of relief, and most of the nervousness on his face quickly disappeared.
As long as this Tian Chu is not Xuan Mohai's nephew, then everything is easy to say. After all, he has already investigated secretly and found that Xuan Mohai does not have any nephew.
As for why Xuan Mohai shouted "Who dares to touch my nephew" when he entered the venue just now, Master Leng secretly speculated that perhaps Huo Qingnian had used some trick secretly to deliberately let the city lord say this!
Huo Qingnian can persuade the city lord. As the city lord’s confidant, he naturally has the means to change the city lord’s decision!
"Take this kid immediately, torture him, force him out of his accomplices, and without telling the truth, make him a human pig, boil him into broth, and throw him to the dogs!"
When he thought of this, Master Leng suddenly turned his head, looked at Chu Tian who was a few feet away, and shouted with murderous intent.
"good!"
After hearing Mr. Leng's murderous shout, Zhou Lixi's eyes suddenly lit up.
However, at this moment, a faint voice came from the mouth of Xuan Mohai who was sitting on the main seat: "Although this son is not my nephew, he is much more important than my nephew."
!”
"What!"
Hearing this, Mr. Leng's face instantly showed a look of shock, and countless cold sweats suddenly rolled down his face.
After a breath, Master Leng didn't even think about it. He plopped down and knelt on the ground. He started to kowtow to Xuan Mohai and begged for mercy: "City Lord, please forgive me. I don't know Tian Chu's true background at all."
, and I don’t even know that Tian Chu is so important to the city lord!”
"Damn it, how could this happen!"
Zhou Lixi suddenly fell from great joy to great sadness in an instant. His face was gloomy and he couldn't help but cursed secretly.
When everyone saw that Master Leng was kowtowing, begging for mercy, and even crying bitterly, in such an ugly manner, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, with undisguised disdain on their faces.
Not long ago, in front of everyone, Master Leng acted like a local emperor, doing whatever he wanted. Now, when he accidentally provoked the city lord, he instantly turned into a local dog with no dignity, kneeling down and begging for mercy!
Facing Master Leng's constant kowtows and begging for mercy, City Lord Xuan Mohai just casually glanced down, then raised his head to look at Chu Tian, with a rare kind smile on his face.
"Your name is Tian Chu, come here quickly and sit here!"
After a breath, Xuan Mohai opened his mouth with a smile and pointed at the seat next to him.
At this moment, the position of Xuan Mohai's finger was exactly where Leng Ye, the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, was sitting not long ago. He was second only to the City Lord in the main seat!
"What!"
When Master Leng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Tsk, tsk, that's the only seat next to the city lord. The city lord actually took the initiative to let Tian Chu sit there!"
"It's not simple. This Tian Chu is definitely not simple!"
"Since the city lord is willing to let Tian Chu sit next to him, it proves that the importance he attaches to Tian Chu is definitely beyond imagination!"
At the same time, countless low-pitched discussions quickly erupted in the hall.
At this time, Chu Tian did not immediately obey the instructions of the city lord Xuan Mohai. Instead, he stood on the spot with a hint of contemplation on his face.
Once he followed Xuan Mohai's instructions and sat in Master Leng's seat, it not only proved that Xuan Mohai valued him beyond imagination, but more importantly, all the jealousy and hatred would flow towards him!
After all, he is just a newcomer, lacking connections and foundation, and he only has the cultivation level of Shengxuan Realm. If he suddenly rises to a position second only to the City Lord, he will inevitably attract countless hatred!
"Boy, if you don't make people hate you, you are mediocre. Go away quickly!"
At this moment, Ba Lao whispered a reminder in Chu Tian's ears.
After hearing this, Chu Tian smiled bitterly, walked quickly, walked to the side of Xuan Mohai, and sat down honestly.
"Okay, he is indeed a young talent. At a young age, he has already achieved the status of a heaven-level weapon refining master!"
After Chu Tian sat down, Xuan Mohai turned his head and looked at Chu Tian, and immediately smiled and praised.
"Haha, the city lord has given you a reward!"
After hearing this, Chu Tian hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Xuan Mohai's casual words exposed his background in front of everyone. From now on, it would be impossible for him to practice peacefully in a deserted land.
After hearing the city lord's public praise of Chu Tian, everyone present was immediately shocked again.
There have long been rumors that a new heaven-level weapon refining master has recently appeared in Beixuan City. Unexpectedly, it is this Tian Chu. No wonder the city lord Xuan Mohai attaches so much importance to him!
At this time, Mr. Leng was still kneeling on the ground, his whole body was shaking slightly, and his plump face was full of fear and uneasiness that could not be concealed.
He really wanted to get up and leave quickly now, but without the words of City Lord Xuan Mohai, he didn't dare to make the slightest move.
"Lord City Lord, I don't like this Mr. Leng!"
After a few breaths, Chu Tian glanced at Master Leng and said calmly with a cold face.
