"I seem to have heard that Xia Haoxuan went to visit Governor Gao and others in the middle of the night last night, but was turned away by Governor Gao and others. He was driven away by the guards without even seeing the face of the governor.
arrive!"
"Aren't County Sheriff Gao and others on good terms with County Sheriff Xiao? If that kid went to find Sheriff Gao and others, wouldn't he be humiliating himself!"
"I guess that kid must be scared. After all, Sheriff Xiao won't let him go easily after entering the competition!
When the time comes, those county guards who are on good terms with County Sheriff Xiao will not be able to give that boy good things to eat!
So I guess that kid wants to show favor to those county guards!"
"No way. Didn't I hear that boy is quite crazy? How could he take the initiative to show kindness to Governor Gao and others!"
"Crazy also needs capital. In the face of life and death, no matter how crazy you are, you still need to weigh it! Ignorant madness will have to pay a price!"
"Oh, that kid had known that today, why did he do it in the first place? If he hadn't been so crazy before, he wouldn't be like this now!"
…
Everyone looked at Xia Haoxuan and couldn't help but talk about it. Many people had ridicule and contempt on their faces!
Jiu Fei heard the comments from the people around him and had an unhappy look on his face.
He really wanted to open his mouth to argue with these people, but when he saw Xia Haoxuan's expression of indifference, it made it difficult for him to say anything.
After all, he was afraid that if he said too much, it would damage Xia Haoxuan or something big, and that would be bad!
The happiest person in the audience was Governor Xiao. He was very satisfied to hear everyone around him talking about Xia Haoxuan.
"His Royal Highness Nan Wang has arrived!" Suddenly a shout rang out, and everyone immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.
"See His Highness Nan Wang!" When everyone saw Nan Wang appear, they immediately bowed and saluted.
King Nan's gaze swept across the crowd without leaving any trace. Suddenly, his gaze stopped at a certain position, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Because everyone stood up and saluted when they saw him, except Xia Haoxuan who was sitting there and didn't even look at him today.
King Nan couldn't help but look at Liu Ji, because Liu Ji had been reporting to him that Xia Haoxuan intended to surrender to him.
But Xia Haoxuan's current state doesn't look like him at all.
Not only did this not mean to surrender to him, he also felt that Xia Haoxuan was simply ignoring him, not giving him face in front of everyone!
Liu Ji saw the displeasure in King Nan's eyes. To be honest, he was also very puzzled.
Logically speaking, Xia Haoxuan was very enthusiastic every time he faced him. Logically speaking, Xia Haoxuan should want to submit to the Southern King.
But he couldn't figure out why Xia Haoxuan didn't give Nan Wang face at this moment.
In his opinion, if Xia Haoxuan really wanted to submit to the Southern King, even if Xia Haoxuan couldn't save face, he would be embarrassed to be too enthusiastic towards the Southern King.
But at least you should get up, instead of standing out from the crowd like you are now, sitting there indifferently.
At this moment, everyone followed Nan Wang's gaze and landed on Xia Haoxuan.
"Who said Xia Haoxuan was soft on all the county guards? Isn't he still arrogant? Isn't he still not even looking down on King Nan!"
"I even doubt whether the transmission is wrong!"
"That's right, he doesn't even look down on King Nan, so how can he be submissive to all the county guards!"
…
Everyone looked at Xia Haoxuan and started talking quietly again.
Obviously because King Nan was here, everyone did not dare to talk too loudly.
But no matter how quiet their voices were, they couldn't escape King Nan's ears. After all, King Nan's cultivation level was there!
If King Nan had not surrendered deeply enough and calmed down his anger without showing any lust, one can imagine the look on King Nan's face at this moment.
But even if King Nan did not show his anger, everyone was not stupid. They also knew that King Nan must be very angry in his heart.
After all, given Nan Wang's status, being ignored by others on such occasions is undoubtedly a slap in Nan Wang's face. It is strange that Nan Wang is not angry.
"Qi Long doesn't need to be merciful, just give him a breath!" King Nan directly addressed Qi Long and said in a cold voice.
You know, despite Liu Ji's advice before, he is a person who loves talents, and he is really reluctant to let Qi Long attack Xia Haoxuan too hard.
But at this moment, he was already angered by Xia Haoxuan, so this made him change his mind.
He didn't know that he wanted Qi Long to attack Xia Haoxuan, and he also wanted Qi Long to cripple Xia Haoxuan so that Xia Haoxuan would know the consequences of provoking him.
"Hmph, someone who is overestimating his own abilities dares to provoke the Southern King at this time!" Sheriff Xiao shouted directly at Xia Haoxuan.
Because Sheriff Xiao had already seen the dissatisfaction in King Nan's eyes.
This made him very happy!
You know, he was really worried before that Xia Haoxuan would be tempted and surrender to King Nan!
But now he breathed a sigh of relief, because looking at Xia Haoxuan, he didn't look like he could submit to King Nan.
The most important thing is that the more Xia Haoxuan offends and makes Nan Wang unhappy, the more beneficial it is to him!
"There is no need to get angry with him, Commander Xiao. Sit next to me!" King Nan looked at Commander Xiao and became more and more satisfied. He spoke directly to Commander Xiao.
When Commander Xiao heard what Nan Wang said, he felt happy. He first snorted coldly at Xia Haoxuan, then hurriedly walked to Nan Wang and sat down.
Suddenly, many people couldn't help but look at Governor Xiao.
Because they could all see that Commander Xiao already had a high status in King Nan's heart.
If King Nan can really ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future, then Sheriff Xiao's status will definitely soar to the sky, becoming one person below and above ten thousand people!
Liu Ji glanced at Sheriff Xiao, who was sitting next to King Nan with a flattering look on his face, and looked away without saying anything!
"Today, the Third Prince will definitely win the Youth Competition!"
"That's because we are definitely no match for the Third Prince. We are destined to be the Third Prince's foil. We hope that the Third Prince will show mercy!"
"Looking at the handsome appearance of the Third Prince, he is indeed one of the best among men. His talent in cultivation is so strong, he is indeed a role model for our generation!"
A group of young people gathered around Qi Long and complimented him one after another.
Obviously these people are also the county guards who were wavering before, and now they want to use the talented disciples to curry favor with Qi Long in order to please the Southern King.
"Everyone praises it, Miao praises it!" Qi Long already laughed in his heart when he heard the compliments from everyone, but there was a modest smile on his face.
After all, on this occasion, he must establish his own image well.
"What we said was originally the truth, without any falsehood."
"You're right,"
.
