For a moment, the audience room fell into deathly silence.
"You guys can't really be that stupid!"
At this time, Bai Yasha looked at Mandela with a bit of disbelief. Although she had vaguely guessed something, she did not expect the truth to be like this!
“…”
Facing Bai Yasha's question, Mandela clenched his fists and his body trembled. He glared at Fang Zheng and gritted his teeth. The latter just narrowed his eyes and looked at him with contempt.
"What? You don't agree? You want to kill someone to silence them? You can try and see who will be the next one to die on the ground."
"elder brother!"
However, at this moment, Sandra rushed to Mandela and stared at him.
"Is what Mr. Fang Zheng said true? Did you really lure the Demon King here!?"
“…”
Faced with Sandra's questioning, Mandela opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and said nothing.
"Why, why would you do this?!"
"It's simple. They don't trust you, just like everyone else."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"A little girl inherits the leadership and has never shown any ability. In this case, Salamander is likely to be in trouble, so they just put on a monkey show to show the strength of the new leader to deter potential threats. I understand this idea, but you all have kept Sandra a secret... Hehe, who is this leader?"
"Shut up! What do you know!"
Hearing this, Mandela clenched his fists and looked at Fang Zheng with a roar.
"How can you, who comes from outside the Little Garden, understand...! Protecting the flag of the community! The name! The meaning of honor! Betrayed by the powerful heir, and the leader is bedridden! In order to support the community that is about to fall, we must gamble with our lives! How can a guy from outside the Little Garden understand all this! "
"Ah, you're telling the truth."
Fang Zheng whistled.
"Look, you said it yourself, the community is about to decline... Hehe, that means you don't believe that Sandora can lead 'Salamander' well, right?"
“……!”
At this moment, Mandela suddenly reacted. He instinctively looked at Sandra beside him, whose eyes were already red.
"So... Brother, you are the same, and everyone is the same... You all don't think highly of me, so why should I be the leader?"
"No, Sandra, it's not what you think, actually..."
Mandela hurriedly wanted to say something, but Sandra lowered her head and waved her hand suddenly.
"Get out! I don't want to see you!"
“…”
Facing Sandora's order, Mandela was silent for a moment, then he lowered his head and slowly left the audience room like a tired old man. Watching him turn around and leave, Bai Yasha also shook his head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"You've gone too far."
"I am most disgusted by seeing such a thing as him."
Fang Zheng snorted coldly.
"They keep saying they're doing it for your own good, but they don't tell you what they're doing, especially now. If it was just a white joke, it would be fine, but now the entire community is gambling their future and reputation, and Sandra, as the leader, doesn't know anything about it? Wow, I tell you, if something like this happened in my community, I would immediately shut myself up and doubt my life."
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's complaints, Bai Yasha was speechless. Indeed, no matter which group this kind of thing happened in, it would be enough to make the leader discouraged, and it was not impossible that he would just quit.
"But what should we do now? You have to think of a solution!"
Seeing Sandra almost curled up in the corner, Bai Yasha didn't know what to do, so he asked Fang Zheng to find a solution, and Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked up to Sandra and patted her on the head.
"Okay, little girl, cheer up!"
"...Mr. Fang Zheng?"
After being patted by Fang Zheng, Sandra, who was gradually falling into autism, also raised her head and looked at him puzzledly.
"Why are you so autistic? Isn't this natural? Look at your current age, you are only eleven or twelve years old. Salamander is the class ruler of the north. Anyone would think that you can manage this community well."
“Woo…”
Hearing this, Sandra bit her lip again.
"But there must be someone who trusts you. I remember that you were able to take the position because the previous leader designated you. He is your father, right? If he didn't trust you, he wouldn't have let you be the leader."
"Father...but the others..."
"As for me, I haven't known you for a long time, so I can't say much. But since your father chose you, he must have seen that you have some qualities that can lead Salamander out of trouble. So just go for it boldly. It's normal for others not to trust you. After all, they are not your father and can't know you as well as your father does. So what you have to do now is to prove your strength to them. Trust is mutual. One party must show their ability first in order to gain the followers. This is also the obligation of a leader. Do you understand?"
“I…I understand!”
Hearing this, Sandra reached out her hand, wiped away the tears in her eyes, looked at Fang Zheng and nodded vigorously.
"Can you, Lord Fang Zheng, please keep this a secret? Um... I am willing to pay you..."
At this point, Sandra's voice became smaller and smaller, but she had to do it. After all, the class rulers were supposed to protect the lower community from the demon king, but Salamander, as the northern class ruler, actually took the initiative to lure the demon king to attack. Once this matter spread, Salamander would definitely be ruined.
"Thousand Eyes" may have predicted this, but they didn't intend to expose it. After all, as the class rulers, they couldn't do such things. But Fang Zheng was different. The Tiandao Palace was just an ordinary lower-class community. The life and death of the class rulers was meaningless to them. So if Fang Zheng spread this matter, then Salamander would be finished.
"That depends on what conditions you offer. This is one of the difficulties you have to face as the leader of the community."
Fang Zheng said this and snapped his fingers.
"But now, let's discuss how to deal with the Demon King."
"That's true."
Hearing this, Bai Yasha quickly changed the subject.
"But if you have that book, you should be able to easily find information about the Demon King."
"That's about right. But the Demon King himself isn't the problem. The problem lies in other things."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards Bai Yasha.
"First of all, let's talk about the actions of this festival. You see, since the Thousand Eyes has already predicted the inside story of this event, why did they send Shiroyasha here?"
"Why?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Bai Yasha and Sandra were both stunned, then frowned and thought about it, and after a moment, Sandra's eyes lit up.
"Does that mean we have failed?"
"That's right."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"I suspect that the prophecy of the Thousand Eyes may have seen the ending of Salamander luring the Demon King to come and then being killed by the Demon King, so they chose to use this embarrassing way to let Bai Yasha join. After all, judging from Mandela's actions, they have always hoped to make Shandora famous. In this case, they certainly don't want to let the class rulers of other regions come here to become famous together. Especially since Bai Yasha is known as the strongest class ruler, it might be like Mandela's worry. When the Demon King attacks, Bai Yasha slaps him away, and Shandora will be very embarrassed."
“Ahahahahaha…”
Hearing this, Sandra and Baiyasha both smiled bitterly.
"So I suspect that according to the prophecy, it was Salamander who held the festival, and then the devil came, and then it went wrong. Of course, Thousand Eyes would not want to see this happen, but considering the current situation of Salamander, they couldn't say much to this side, so as not to arouse suspicion, so they simply held it together in this way, which can be regarded as an additional insurance policy."
"I see."
Bai Yasha also nodded at this time.
"I was wondering why the right to host the event was given to me in the Eastern Region. It seems strange no matter how I look at it. It turns out there is this kind of relationship involved... But don't worry!"
Having said that, Bai Yasha slapped his chest hard.
"I am the strongest class ruler after all, I will definitely protect you!"
"That's hard to say."
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng poured a basin of cold water on him again.
"It has been rumored for several months that the two northeastern regions will hold a Fire Dragon Birth Festival together. As long as the demon king is not deaf or blind, he must have known that you, Bai Yasha, will join. And in this case, if the other party still dares to attack, it means that they have definitely prepared enough means to deal with you."
"You're right."
Shiroyasha nodded again and reached out her hand, and soon a glowing parchment appeared in her hand.
"But as a countermeasure, I have also prepared some countermeasures. Come and take a look."
"oh?"
Fang Zheng took the parchment and looked at the contents on it.

【Salamander】
“It looks quite comprehensive.”
Fang Zheng read it carefully and then nodded.
"There's no particular problem. In this situation, even if the Demon King comes, he won't be able to invade... That's the theory."
"If something unexpected happens..."
"Then leave it to me."
Fang Zheng chuckled and put away the parchment.
"After all, I also want to see what the Demon King is capable of."
