One of the largest and most lavishly furnished halls in the Speaker's old castle had gathered many important people.

They talked to each other in a low voice, but their eyes swept over Song Anran and Le Xin who were standing in the corner of the hall from time to time.

They already knew what happened on the floating passage, and naturally they had no good impression of Song Anran, the initiator.

And the deputy speaker openly wants to leave, and the senior knight who is loyal to the speaker Upton shocked everyone even more, and also gave them endless topics to talk about.

In addition, there was a focal point in the hall, Todd, who knelt straight in the middle of the hall, bowing his head and not saying a word.

Many people around him looked at him, worried, pity, and more gloating.

The family to which the Speaker belongs is old enough and powerful enough!

But there are also many internal factions, and the arrogant and domineering Todd is now unlucky, which makes people from other factions with competing interests eager to shout three times of joy.

As for Song Anran, after looking at the various states of everyone in the hall, he looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and seemed to have entered a state of distraction.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the high seat at the end of the hall.

Her appearance caused the temperature in the hall to drop sharply immediately, and a wisp of cold filled the hall.

This coldness also made everyone understand that the speaker was very unhappy!

They all fell silent, put their hands on their breasts, and bowed down to the high seats, in the highest courtesy.

At this moment, there was no one to talk to, not even the sound of breathing, for fear that one would accidentally touch the muzzle of the speaker's gun and suffer from the fish in the pond.

Song Anran stood on Le Xin's side, and he also bowed down in a good way.

After a few moments, the Speaker raised his hand slightly, and everyone dared to straighten up.

At this time, Song Anran really saw the speaker's face.

Her appearance can be described as very beautiful, and it can even be said that she is not inferior to Lily before her disguise, but she exudes an awe-inspiring aura from the inside out, which makes people dare not look directly.

Song Anran only glanced at it twice, for fear of arousing the speaker's notice, so he moved his gaze elsewhere.

After a long time, the speaker slowly spoke: "Todd is arrogant and does not know how to restrain him, and he will be removed from the ranks of core disciple cultivation......"

At that moment, an old man stepped forward and said eagerly: "Your Highness, Todd was only deceived by Upton and Song Anran's provocation to ......."

"Hoodwinked?"

The Speaker's voice fluctuated slightly, mixed with a hint of anger in it.

"At his age, he is easily deceived by others, which can only show his stupidity! Song Anran is a guest who received my invitation, and he deliberately provokes, which is not even in my eyes!"

"Kick Todd out of the Holy City, I don't want to see him again!"

"And you, there is no way to educate, and the supply of resources in the future will be halved!"

As soon as these words came out, the old man who pleaded for mercy immediately turned pale and stood a little unsteadily, but he did not dare to say another word, bowed deeply to the speaker, and retreated.

As for Todd, he collapsed directly on the ground and was carried out.

Song Anran felt that the gaze cast on him was a little more, and the hatred mixed with it was much stronger.

Another middle-aged man stood up and said, "Your Highness, the bodies of the eight young men who fell into the abyss have been retracted. Three of them belong to the collateral branch of the family, three belong to the affiliated family, and two belong to the close-knit family. ”

"The preliminary investigation is that these eight people are the next generation carefully cultivated by their respective families, and all parties have invested a lot of resources in them.

Speaking of this, this person's gaze was also vaguely cast on Song Anran.

The speaker's face became even more gloomy, and he shouted: "Waste! Let me make everything clear, what else do I need you to do?"

Her anger was still not gone, and she continued to scold: "This incident is obviously planned by Upton behind the scenes, and the death of eight people is also caused by his deliberate failure to save them." ”

"You can clearly tell the elders of these eight people the facts before and after this matter, and as for who they should ask for the account, they must know better than you. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I know what to do!"

The middle-aged man immediately bowed down and stopped talking, and many people all showed helpless expressions.

The speaker directly removed Song Anran from this matter, and everyone understood His Highness's maintenance of Song Anran, and they all knew what kind of attitude they would have to treat that Song Anran in the future.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one could speak, the speaker tapped the armrest and said in a deep voice: "Todd, the matter of Upton has sounded the alarm for each of us, and after everyone goes back, they will take care of their offspring and do a review and screening of the people around them." ”

"I'm sure Upton isn't the only one!"

Feeling the killing intent in the speaker's words, everyone in the hall was in the same place, knowing Upton's betrayal, it really annoyed the speaker.

After discussing some more things, the speaker waved everyone away, leaving Song Anran alone.

Song Anran followed the speaker and came to the small garden of the castle.

Facing Song Anran alone, the speaker's expression was also cold, and there was some warmth.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to thank you this time. An Upton hidden in the shadows has played a far more powerful role than the current Upton. ”

"As a grand knight loyal to me, his blatant betrayal will be despised by everyone, and I guess you will soon hear that he has been removed from the family. ”

For a set of chivalry, Song Anran still recognizes it very much.

He felt like an assassin and a righteous man in ancient Jing Ke, who paid special attention to loyalty and faithfulness, unlike now, it has become commonplace to stab brothers in the back.

Song Anran pretended to be sincerely frightened and said: "I don't dare to be Your Highness's thanks! Thank Your Highness for your forgiveness, I know that I am a little too reckless and reckless." ”

The speaker turned around, stared at Song Anran for a while, and said lightly: "One person leads Holier Island, and within a year, under the successive suppression of various countries, as well as the two forces X and Y, not only did not die, but became stronger and stronger. ”

"Do you think I will believe such a person who says he is reckless and reckless?"

"Hehe, it's just luck, and I also took advantage of the contradictions between all parties, and more importantly, my mother's secret strong support!"

The relationship between Song Anran and Le Xin is not a secret in front of the speaker, and he pretended to be stupid, so he vigorously pushed the reason on Le Xin.

The Speaker smiled lightly and did not continue to dwell on the issue.

"I called you here, first, I want to see you with my own eyes, after all, if I want to marry my own person to you, I have to be responsible for the trial. In addition, I originally wanted you to participate in the selection of the Great Knight of the Holy City. ”

"But, after meeting you, I think it's an insult to you to let you participate in this knight selection again!"

The speaker suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't it, His Highness Song?"
