"You are the spokesperson chosen by this sect leader. That Wu Qi has ulterior motives. Do you know what to do?" Since Su Luo played the role of Huo Yangyan, she naturally had to make use of this role and play it to the fullest.
"Disloyalty? My brother-in-law has disloyalty towards the sect leader?" The deputy city lord was delighted, almost ecstatic!
"Are you doubting what this sect leader said?" Su Luo was displeased!
"No, no, no, whatever the master says is what it is. If the master says my brother-in-law should die, then my brother-in-law should die!" The deputy city lord responded hurriedly.
Even at this time, the deputy city lord still didn't forget to play tricks!
It was the clan leader who wanted his brother-in-law to die, not him. He was forced to do so and had no choice but to do so out of loyalty to the clan leader. He did nothing wrong.
The deputy city lord was deceiving himself in his heart, trying to find a justification for what he was going to do next.
Huo Yangyan glanced at him and nodded.
"Master..." the deputy city lord told Su Luo, "I recently discovered something and I don't know whether I should tell you."
Su Luo frowned slightly, and suddenly had a very bad feeling.
She glanced at the deputy city lord coldly and said, "Speak."
The deputy city lord lowered his voice and said to Su Luo, "Reporting to the master, several mysterious guests have recently come to the home of the former city lord surnamed Lin. Moreover, the recent sensational Nan calligraphy also came from his house. Perhaps there is an important connection between the two. Why not... arrest them all and torture them severely to force out the secret?"
In fact, the deputy city lord had already planned to do this, and the reason he said it was just to prove his intelligence in front of the sect leader.
But how could he have imagined that the person standing in front of him was not the real Huo Yangyan, but the guest in the Lin Mansion whom he originally wanted to capture and torture?
Su Luo rolled her eyes at the deputy city lord in anger: "Are you an idiot?!"
"Ah?" The deputy city lord's original intention of taking credit and showing off was immediately chilled by Su Luo's words.
Su Luo thought to herself, it's a good thing that I came this time and played the role of Huo Yangyan, otherwise, when everyone's spiritual power was completely lost, I might really be captured by your people and tortured.
However, thinking of Nangong Liuyun's always thorough and thoughtful approach, Su Luo felt relieved this time. After feeling relieved, Su Luo angrily scolded the deputy city lord: "What? Those people are still useful to me as a sect leader, so why do I need you to discipline them?! Your mission is to become the true master of this Skyfire City. You haven't achieved this goal yet, and you're still thinking about it. Do you still want to be the city lord, huh?!"
Su Luo said this and then attacked the deputy city lord.
Poor deputy city lord, he was so pretentious and arrogant in Lin City Lord's Mansion that day, but now he was kneeling in front of "Huo Yangyan", being scolded by Su Luo and spitted all over his face, but he didn't dare to look up.
"Yes, yes, yes... Master, that's what you said..." The deputy city lord responded hurriedly.
"I'll give you half a month." Su Luo glanced at the deputy city lord and turned to leave.
It was not until Su Luo had left for a long time that the deputy city lord dared to raise his head.
His head and face were covered in sweat...
However, when he thought about the deadline given to him by the clan leader and that he had the clan leader's support behind him to seize the throne, he immediately became very happy!
In the following time, the deputy city lord had no time to pay attention to the Lin Mansion. All his attention was focused on winning people's hearts and plotting to seize power and usurp the throne.
This way, Su Luo and Nangong Liuyun would have time to carry out their plan.
