"Huh?" everyone was stunned. Xie Rongyuan obviously didn't expect Long Haotian to say this, and his heart was also full of curiosity. I heard him ask, "Long Haotian, why did you say this?"

"Before answering, Long Haotian dared to ask, could it be that the eldest disciple of the rumored Elder Lingyun, Lord Xie Rongyuan?" asked Long Haotian respectfully.

"That's right, it's me! The family master is in retreat during this time, so I am temporarily taking the position of city lord. Xie Rongyuan's tone was gentle with a hint of majesty, "Okay, Long Haotian, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Don't hide it from my lord, I gambled with Brother Han today, it was all because of some small misunderstandings, I wonder if the adults are willing to take the time to listen?"

"Misunderstanding, let's hear it!" Xie Rongyuan smiled slightly.

Qiu Shengying and the others all had a look of surprise on their faces, because they knew Xie Rongyuan's temper, and he would not waste his time on an ordinary person. And being willing to listen to Long Haotian's "storytelling" means that he is already interested in Long Haotian.

Long Haotian nodded, and then told the main points of his misunderstanding with Cheng Yuan and the others in Longque Ridge, as well as the conflict with Hanyu and them in Lingyun Pavilion.

Of course, when talking about these things, he always emphasized one point, intentionally or unintentionally: "This time, he was 'forced' to leave the Thousand Flames Domain. On the way, I heard that Ziyun Kingdom attaches great importance to talents, so I came to defect. ”

He was very careful when he spoke, especially when mentioning the name of the country, only mentioning "Ziyun Country" and not "Ziyun County". This suddenly made everyone present sound extremely comfortable, although the Ziyun County has not yet been upgraded, but everyone has already regarded it as a "country" in their hearts. Therefore, when they heard that Long Haotian was a Purple Cloud Country on the left and a Purple Cloud Country on the right, their favor towards him instantly increased.

And a rising county is extremely thirsty for talent. Especially when it comes to understanding Rong Yuan's identity. Around him, there were many talented disciples and elder disciples. Since he was the eldest disciple of Elder Lingyun and a popular candidate for the core disciple, there were many people who were willing to follow him, hoping that he would be able to soar after he took over the position of elder in the future.

Xie Rongyuan was like this, and so were the rest of the disciples. It's nothing new that they're fighting each other in secret. So today, when he heard Long Haotian coming to defect, Xie Rongyuan immediately became interested in him.

Of course, he also had some questions about Long Haotian's origin, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to question in front of so many people.

To put it bluntly, if a person is willing to leave his hometown and come to join an opposing force, there must be something unspeakable. And if it is questioned in public, it will only embarrass the people who come to vote. If he defects to someone else because of this, won't the gain outweigh the loss?

And turning it into a small thing in private will make the other party grateful to him, and on the other hand, this kind of secrecy can also become a handle to control the other party.

As for Long Haotian offending Cheng Yuan and the others, it's even simpler, doesn't Rong Yuan understand the trade-off here?

But at this moment, Cheng Yuan was still unconscious, and he couldn't see Xie Rongyuan's cold eyes, otherwise he was afraid that he would be scared to death. As for Shen Dan and Shi Wei, they were already trembling with fear under Xie Rongyuan's cold gaze, and their faces were colorless!

Xie Rongyuan glanced at a few people coldly, and then ignored them. And when his eyes swept over Han Yu's face, the arrogant woman couldn't help but lower her head and look at her brother's back timidly.

"Long Haotian, I understand your intentions, the Purple Cloud Country is inclusive, a talent like you is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we are naturally extremely welcome!

Xie Rongyuan continued to ask, he wanted to see how Long Haotian would answer. Because from his answer, we can also recognize this person more accurately. As for the gamblers and the stewards of Donglai Pavilion, they all pricked up their ears at this moment.

However, they also knew very well in their hearts that no matter what Long Haotian said, the ending was absolutely impossible to change. Is it just because the decisive battle platform is broken? Losing some money is a trivial matter, but the reputation of Donglai Pavilion must not be damaged!

I heard Long Haotian reply: "Master Xie, I also said before that this appointment was originally born out of a misunderstanding, and Brother Han also knew this. However, the people I offended were his sister and fellow disciples, and because of his status as a senior brother, he had to fight with me.

"And when it came to the decisive stage, Brother Han deliberately suppressed the realm to the same as me, and deliberately reserved it at the last moment, not hesitating to defeat himself to show respect for someone Long. Others don't understand this kind of favor, so don't I still understand it? Originally, the competition was just a competition, so why should we take victory or defeat too seriously. That's why I said, today is not a win!"

Long Haotian's words can be said to be hidden needles in the cotton, which seems to be to give Han Feng face, but when he tastes it carefully, it is not the case at all.

Especially let those gamblers feel that Han Feng is deliberately preserving his strength and has the meaning of manipulating the gambling game!

Suddenly, the crowd was boiling. An overwhelming wave of invective swept in.

"Han Feng! You kid didn't even try your best to fight! Do you know how much money you made Lao Tzu lose!"

"A guy with a thousand cuts! Lao Tzu is bankrupt because of you!"

"What kind of genius is a villain, this kind of person should be expelled from the sect and never hired!

............

As the saying goes, the crowd is gold, and the bones are destroyed. Han Feng knew there was such a thing as a gamble, but he really didn't care. These days of retreat have given him a boost in strength and confidence. Only then did he put forward the suppression realm before the decisive battle, which was completely a manifestation of self-confidence.

But the result is good, and at the moment, failure is no longer a shame for him. Because, a bigger black cauldron was buckled on his head, manipulating the gambling game and arousing public anger.

You know, the people on the rostrum are eyeing themselves. Especially Xie Rongyuan, he can't wait to find a good opportunity to get rid of himself. Now it's good, the opportunity has come, manipulating the gambling game, that's a felony!

"Quiet!" Xie Rongyuan's majestic voice echoed in the decisive battle, and the crowd suddenly fell silent. They all wanted to see if this acting city lord would be in charge of them.

Xie Rongyuan was just about to speak, when suddenly his eyes froze slightly, and he looked straight ahead. Everyone was stunned and followed his gaze.

I saw that directly opposite it, across a seat in the decisive battle, a tall figure appeared at this moment. The person's face seemed to be hidden in the shadows, and it was not very clear to see. However, the robe on his body is particularly eye-catching. Unlike Xie Rongyuan's purple-gold robe, he wore a black-gold robe.

In the Purple Cloud Sect, black gold is an existence that is above purple gold. Although the status of black gold was slightly inferior to that of the elder, because of his special status, everyone had no doubt that they were even more terrifying than the elders.

This gentleman is the pavilion master of Lingyun City's Donglai Pavilion.
