LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
365. DIVISIVE.
Huangpu Qingyun gritted her teeth, “If only I had noticed earlier. I and the 5th elder will step in and save Elder Lin's life. ”
“Ha-ha-ha, don't fool yourself Huangpu Qingyun. You're overconfident if you think a brat like you can see through my scheme.
Do you think some books about the law are enough to capture people's hearts? Huh, you're way below me.”
Tan Wen Hong laughed with scorn, “It would be quite a risky mind game if You Guiqi were here, but you guys, don't cut it!”
Clenching his fists, Huangpu Qingyun was furious. The second young master of the great Regent Estate had never been protected
in his life by his colleagues, to the point of being ridiculed as a stupid bad boy.
This was no different from a beggar cursing an emperor in the middle of the road. The emperor was not the emperor if he was willing to lie down.
Or else he wouldn't be the second young master of the Regent Estate if he let it.
Tan Wen Hong's mockery worsened when he realized his anger, the,
“Huangpu Qingyun, you can't accept it? Then let me repeat.
You don't know anything about how to rule, so don't smear the mud the right way to snatch people's hearts.”
“If the three of you go together against me, I won't stand a chance.
So I have to free you from one person, Elder Lin who is very smart and ambitious.”
Everyone was fixated on Tan Wen Hong, who told him how he led them,
and managed to kill Lin Zitian. Huangpu Qingyun's heart was bleeding from hatred, yet her ears were attentive to capturing the details.
“First thing first, a ruler needs to see talent, be tolerant!
With how vain Lin Zitian was, all I had to do was throw dirt at him and he lost control.
And you, instead of calming him down, you mocked him from the side, making him out of control. In her angry mind, she left you against me alone!”
The witnesses turned to see how Huangpu Qingyun had reacted.
One thing was clear, he was completely intolerant, not at all how a ruler should behave.
Frankly, he is not a leader.
However, Tan Wen Hong continued, “Furthermore, a ruler has control over the situation, placing value on the bigger picture.
Of all the people here, only Lin Zitian can go against my speed.
But you let this precious asset further and further away from you in his battle with me, beyond your reach.
You just have to stay close to him and he will stay alive. It's your fault another.”
“Enough! Were you the one who killed Lin Zitian, and now you are trying to pin it on me? Huh, everyone knows how sneaky you are! ”
Huangpu Qingyun could no longer sit idly by while listening to his ridicule.
With a smile, Tan Wen Hong sneered at him, “A regent is a regent because he leads the people.
Those who shirk responsibility are not worthy of being regents, and are not worth following!”
People's hearts are shaking. They watched Tan Wen Hong, amazed at how reasonable he was. It also managed to reduce their respect towards Huangpu Qingyun.
They respected the second young master of the Regent Estate at first, due to his strict handling, due to his powerful talent.
But Tan Wen Hong opened their eyes to the truth. He was not a leading material and following him would lead them to a dead end.
Even the eyes of the 5th elder changed, now having a different opinion.
Sowing discord!
But this sowing is hidden very deeply, because he is making a wedge between their beliefs and not just based on emotions.
Huangpu Qingyun's retinue was formed from a blind follower, thinking there was nothing she could not do. If it works, it can't be better.
But Tan Wen Hong's murder of Lin Zitian had mostly fallen on his shoulders.
Saying he was unfit to lead at this moment, whether people believed it or not, it reduced a lot of his prestige.
He will be someone that no one wants to follow and, most importantly, will be,
the cooperation between Huangpu Qingyun and the 5th elder would falter, making them weaker.
Tan Wen Hong tilted his evil grin, as if all were dancing in the palm of his hand…
