Jiang Rong never imagined that the cold girl in front of him would be the daughter of Dragon Prisoner City's giant crocodile, Sacred Dragon Xi Tao!
Jiang Rong naturally knew of Sacred Dragon Xi Tao. Back then, Xi Tao had gone to the Jiang clan to settle some matters. Jiang Rong had gone to greet him with Jiang Zizai.
Even Jiang Zizai, who had received an audience with the Enslaved Dragon King, had to bow when he saw the Sacred Dragon Xi Tao. After all, Xi Tao could be said to be one of the five Sacred Dragon powerhouses under the Enslaved Dragon King. In the Enslaved Dragon Domain, he could be said to be second only to the Enslaved Dragon King.
How could a mere patriarch of the Jiang clan offend such an existence?
If it were the Jiang Zizai of the past, he might have been able to develop the Jiang clan and become the number one clan in the Dragon Prison Domain after ten years. In that case, he would have been able to speak equally with Sacred Dragon Xi Tao.
But the current Jiang Rong did not have that qualification.
Otherwise, he would not have addressed a tiny Xi clan merchant house's manager as an 'esteemed guest'.
"This … Eldest Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!"
Jiang Rong immediately knelt down respectfully and apologized to Xi Yuying in fear.
His words were extremely rude. Things like 'get lost' and 'turn to ashes'. If any of those words were to reach Sacred Dragon Xi Tao's ears, he would not be able to bear the consequences. He might even be killed on the spot.
So, the only thing he could do now was to ask for Xi Yuying's forgiveness. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
Ignoring everything else, the business deal he had just discussed with the 'esteemed guest' would definitely be ruined. That was a definite consequence. If Sacred Dragon Xi Tao were to learn of it, Jiang Rong would definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
Although the Sacred Dragon, Xi Tao, had no way of wiping out the entire Jiang Clan, it could only be done if Qiandao King personally gave the order. But in Xi Tao's eyes, getting rid of a clan leader who did not live up to his name was still a relatively easy task. After all, Jiang Rong was nothing special compared to the other elders of the Jiang Clan.
Couldn't he just get rid of Jiang Rong and appoint a new clan leader?
Therefore, Jiang Rong had to beg for Xi Yuying's forgiveness. Otherwise, he would be finished.
The scene suddenly changed, and Kang Shin-mu heaved a sigh of relief.
This way, things would definitely be settled. It was all thanks to Xi Yuying's presence that he was able to help out.
However, even if Xi Yuying had not come, the manager of the Xi Clan's Chamber of Commerce would have recognized Kang Shin-mu. After all, when Kang Shin-mu and Xia Tianhan had fought to the death on the martial arena, all the important figures in the city had come to watch the battle. Naturally, this person had seen Kang Shin-mu before.
However, because of Xi Yuying's crisp voice, which was familiar to him, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce came out of the inn's private room ahead of time.
"If you want me to forgive you, it's very simple. From now on, you will listen to Kang Shin-mu."
Xi Yuying said coldly, "If he wants to participate in the Clan Martial Competition, you have to report his name, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes. As long as First Miss can forgive me, this is just a small matter."
Jiang Rong did not dare to say anything.
"Since it's a small matter, why did you evade it just now?"
Xi Yuying revealed a displeased expression, "Could it be that there's some irreconcilable enmity between you and Kang Shin-mu?"
Of course, Jiang Rong did not dare to say this out loud.
However, Kang Shin-mu smiled, "It's very simple.
When I was in the Jiang Clan, Jiang Rong wanted to hire assassins to kill me. That's why I escaped from the Jiang Clan and came to Dragon Prison City. That's how I met Miss Xi Yuying. "
"Hmm?"
When Xi Yuying heard this, her expression slightly changed, and her killing intent surged.
Jiang Rong, as the Patriarch of the Jiang Clan, actually wanted to kill a talented youth in the clan. What was the reason?
Could it be that Kang Shin-mu was hiding some sort of secret?
Or could it be that Jiang Rong was abusing his position to avenge a personal grudge, and had a deeper level of enmity with Kang Shin-mu?
"No, no. First Miss, how could I want to murder my own clansmen? Absolutely not!"
Jiang Rong immediately raised his head and denied in fear.
He could already tell that the relationship between Kang Shin-mu and Xi Yuying was not ordinary. Offending Kang Shin-mu was offending Xi Yuying, and offending the Sacred Dragon, Xi Tao!
Originally, he would never have thought that it would be like this.
But now, it was clear that the relationship between Kang Shin-mu and Xi Yuying was not ordinary. In such a situation, no matter how much he wanted to harm Kang Shin-mu, he could only suppress this matter. He absolutely could not reveal the slightest bit of killing intent towards Kang Shin-mu in front of Xi Yuying.
He couldn't even reveal his hostility, or else something might happen.
"That's right, Jiang Shenwu. Previously, I only imprisoned you in the back mountain so that you could reflect on the mistakes you've made.
But you just left like that. Who saved you at that time?
It must be that person who framed me! "
Jiang Rong said from the bottom of his heart, "This clan leader has never thought of killing you. Jiang Shenwu, Uncle once treated you extremely well. Up until now, your mother is still being cared for by Uncle. You should be very clear about this."
"Can you cut the crap?"
Jiang Shenwu snorted coldly, "Even if we can forget about what happened in the past, why do you want to snatch the Dragon Weapon from me the moment you see me?
As the Jiang Clan's Patriarch, do you even have the slightest bit of consideration for the clan? "
"It's decided. Kang Shin-mu will replace one of your Jiang Clan members to participate in this Clan Tournament."
Xi Yuying was still as cold as ever. She made the final decision, "With his strength, it's not enough to make your Jiang Clan lose face. Even Xia Tianhan from the Xia Clan couldn't defeat Kang Shin-mu with the help of the Dragon Grade Ice Yuan Spirit Wheel.
Kang Shin-mu will definitely be able to defeat more than half of the experts in the Clan Tournament. "
"Yes, yes, yes."
How could Jiang Rong dare to have any objections?
He only wanted to send Xi Yuying away as soon as possible. Whatever she said, he would do. He didn't dare to have the slightest bit of disobedience.
"Since that's the case, you decide who to let Kang Shin-mu replace in the Clan Tournament."
Xi Yuying continued.
"Let him replace me."
At this time, Jiang Yuening's voice came from the side. She had been watching from the side. She didn't expect Xi Yuying to have such a background, nor did she expect Kang Shin-mu to know a girl of Xi Yuying's level.
Moreover, the relationship between the two seemed to be very good …
"Because I just awakened as a dragon warrior this year, my strength is the weakest among the original twenty people in the Clan Tournament. There's nothing wrong with letting Kang Shin-mu replace me."
