Shenlian Auction House is the property of the Lian Ling clan in Qinglian City. Since Qing Lian took the position of city lord, the Lian Ling clan's property has occupied half of Qinglian City.
On the top floor of the auction house, in a luxurious living room, a beautiful woman wearing a colorful lotus dress and a colorful lotus flower in her hair sat on a chair, with two maids standing behind her.
At the woman's feet, Jin Lian knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and his body was trembling.
The Lotus King, the king of the lotus spirit clan, not only suppresses his cultivation, but also suppresses all the lotus spirits in terms of his aura.
"Jin Lian, I heard that you want to replace Qinglian and become Qinglian's city lord, right?"
King Lotus didn't mince words at all and asked straightforwardly.
Jin Lian's body trembled.
"The patriarch is wronged! This junior has never thought of it that way! Please be more careful, patriarch!"
"Hmph! Jin Lian, do you really think I can't see through your little thoughts? Jin Lian, don't forget, everything must be based on the interests of the family, and don't mix personal emotions into such important matters.
."
King Lotus looked at Jin Lian majestically, his bright eyes flashing with colorful brilliance.
Jin Lian's body trembled again, but he suddenly raised his head and said unconvinced:
"Patriarch! Did Qinglian tell you something? Yes! I like her! Otherwise I wouldn't have given her the opportunity a hundred years ago! But...but she actually hooked up with Ximen Hao! Patriarch! This junior is
I'm afraid that Qinglian and Ximen Hao will get too close. When the time comes, Qinglian City will belong to us openly, but secretly it will belong to him, Ximen Hao!"
"Ximen Hao? I saw him. I heard that he was here to help. And it turns out that the battle just now was thanks to his reminder. Moreover, Ximen Hao's goal is Hanfeng City, not Qinglian City.
If Qinglian and him share the same friendship, I wouldn't mind brokering a marriage between the two city lords."
It seems that King Lian already knows everything, or perhaps knows more than Jin Lian!
When Jin Lian heard this, his face turned pale, and he looked at King Lian in disbelief.
"Clan...Clan Chief...you...you can't do this!"
"snort!"
King Lian snorted coldly, stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and pressed Jin Lian with a strong pressure, saying coldly:
"Jin Lian, as the senior leader of our Lianling clan, you should understand that driven by interests, even enemies can become friends!"
"Of course, I won't force Qinglian to do anything, let alone influence her marriage. You and I both know this damn girl's temper. No one can dissuade her from doing something she doesn't want to do."
"But you have to understand that it will be difficult for Qinglian to be re-elected this time without the help of Ximen Hao! Jin Lian, I hope you will put your family first and help Qinglian continue to be the city lord. Don't be petty!"
Jin Lian's expression changed, his mood was in a mess, and he felt extremely regretful. If he had known it a hundred years ago, he would not have given up the opportunity to Qinglian so foolishly!
It's okay now. After Qinglian became the city lord, her status in the clan was obviously higher than hers. Even if she was stronger than her opponent, her status was not as good as her opponent's.
"Jin Lian! Everyone in the clan knows that you have always liked Qinglian, and I understand it. Let's do this. After this challenge is over, I will talk to Qinglian. But... I heard that boy Ximen Hao treats women
He’s very capable, but I don’t think he has much hope.”
King Lian softened his tone. After all, Jin Lian was going to help Qing Lian cheat in the next battle, so he couldn't push him too hard.
Jin Lian's lips moved a few times, and finally he bowed deeply:
"Yes, patriarch, the younger generation puts family affairs first. But patriarch, can I ask if Qinglian has found you?"
King Lian also sat back and put his hands on his legs.
"Yes, more than a month ago, Qinglian sensed something strange about you, and you even eavesdropped on her, so she notified me and asked me to come and take charge. After all, this is a family matter! And today I'm watching you under the ring.
It seems that you are really carried away by your personal feelings."
Jin Lian was left speechless and frightened. He didn't expect that his little thoughts were not hidden from Qing Lian, or that the hateful Ximen Hao was behind this!
"Jin Lian, your mind is confused again. You'd better calm down, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even be qualified in the fourth round!"
Who is King Lian? It was obvious at a glance that Jin Lian was not focused on the challenge.
"What the patriarch taught us is that the younger generation will remember the patriarch's teachings and will do their best to help Qinglian secure her position as city lord!"
Jin Lian kowtowed to the end and almost swore a poisonous oath.
"Well, it's good that you understand. Get ready. Ximen Qinglian can win tomorrow. As long as he doesn't lose in the next two games, the position of the city lord will be considered stable."
King Lian said, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Clan leader, do you really believe in Ximen Hao?"
Jin Lian was still a little unconvinced.
King Lian turned his head and glanced at Jin Lian, then said calmly:
"Believe it or not, what can it do? With Ximen Hao's strength, it's easy to capture Qinglian City? Why bother with so much trouble? Just prepare well and don't think about anything else."
After saying that, he turned around and left the hall with the two maids.
Jin Lian watched King Lotus leave before slowly standing up from the ground, his originally panic expression instantly turned ferocious.
"Mad! Who the hell am I? Worse than an outsider! Faq!"
He would not dare to act arrogantly when the Lotus King came. Maybe not even him, but the few Golden Lotuses under his command would also be in bad luck.
Time passed little by little, and the third round of challengers had already appeared on the other side of the ring. Everyone was waiting for Qinglian to recover from seclusion.
Anyway, gods have a lot of time, so it doesn’t matter if they don’t eat or drink. Just one day will pass in the blink of an eye.
Most of the day has passed outside, and it has been almost three days since Qinglian recovered in the nine-story time tower. Ximen Hao also stared at Qinglian for three days, almost without blinking, as if he wanted to remember every step of Qinglian.
The location of pores.
"Have you seen enough? Aren't your eyes sore?"
Qinglian slowly opened her eyes. Her energy levels had completely recovered and her minor injuries were not serious.
Ximen Hao blinked, feeling a little sore indeed. He really didn't blink during this period.
"No, I can never see enough. I hope to see you every day."
Qinglian's pretty face turned red, she pushed Ximen Hao, then stood up and retreated to a distance.
"Okay, I'm fine. Send me out. I'm going to see who will die in the third round!"
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Sister Qing, we still have more than a day, let's talk."
Ximen Hao waved his hand, and a table, fruits and drinks appeared on the table.
"No! I won't give you a chance! Let me out! You shameless bastard, you want to take advantage of me, right?"
Qinglian had seen through Ximen Hao a long time ago, especially after only three days of recovery, and she felt a little regretful. If she had known better, she would have used the time disk to recover.
