The Jin Clan Elder's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed in his heart. At the same time, he hated the Hong Clan Elder so much that the roots of his teeth itched. He thought to himself, "The one with the surname Hong … just you wait.
At this critical juncture, even a simple sentence from him might cause this Young Master Lu to have a strong aversion towards the Jin Clan.
However, the Jin Family Elder also understood that no one who could appear here was an idiot. The moment Young Master Lu returned and killed the Spirit Echo Sect's disciples, they knew that the Spirit Echo Sect … was most likely finished!
Putting everything else aside, just the aura that the two old men beside Young Master Lu were exuding was something that they had never seen before!
He was definitely at the Nascent Soul Realm, and he might not even be an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
For such an expert to be so respectful to Young Master Lu, what did that mean? This could only mean that Young Master Lu had an unimaginable background!
Originally, when Lu Tianming didn't have these two experts by his side, he was already all-powerful and looked down on everyone. Now, if they didn't hurry up and get close to him, were they going to wait for him to float away?
As for Jin Xian's words about coveting the three great clans … Coveting the assets of Silken City, no one would really care about it.
What a joke! Would a master that had two Nascent Soul Realm servants by his side covet the property of Silken City?
Lu Tianming's background must be shocking!
The sect master of the Spirit Sound Sect, Feng Jianghai, was a peak Nascent Soul stage ancestor-level figure. Such a person couldn't possibly make two Nascent Soul stage ancestors his servants, right?
As the saying goes, no one who can become a tyrant is an idiot. They were actually smarter than anyone else.
Chu Mo probably hadn't expected that having Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong by his side would bring him such benefits. It raised his level of mystery in the eyes of this group of people.
The elder of the Jin Clan was naturally not that stupid. Therefore, although the elder of the Hong Clan mocked him and made him very angry, he did not show any of it on his face.
He looked at the elder of the Hong family with some surprise, then said with some anger, "Elder Hong, where did you hear this rumor? What a load of nonsense! If I catch the person who started the rumor, I won't let him off! "
The Hong Family Elder snorted but did not retort. There were some words that only needed to be said once. Any more and it would only incur the disgust of others.
After the Jin Family Elder finished speaking, he didn't continue on this topic. Instead, he cupped his fists and saluted Chu Mo, "Young Master Lu, I'm very sorry. Our Jin Family Elder had eyes but failed to see that Jin Xian was a person with wild ambitions. We didn't expect him to collude with the Spirit Sound Sect and kill Jin Ming. Our Jin Family … is also incomparably angry and regretful about this matter. At the same time, our Jin Family's Elder Council has decided to invite Miss Fang Lan … to be our Jin Family's new Master! "
Hiss!
Everyone present could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He looked at the Jin Family Elder with a face full of shock and disbelief. She wanted to see if he was crazy.
Even if he needed to curry favor with Lu Tianming, there was no need to put in so much effort, right?
To hand over the first Jin family to an outsider? How … how retarded must one be to make such a decision?
Lu Tianyue was also slightly startled. Then, she looked at the elder of the Jin Clan with a profound gaze. She couldn't help but praise in her heart, "Brilliant!"
This skill of flattering people … was simply superb!
Fang Lan was Chu Mo's disciple. Naturally, she was the closest person to Chu Mo. And Fang Lan had just publicly declared that she was Jin Ming's widow!
Then, in terms of etiquette, Fang Lan was a genuine member of the Jin Family!
Moreover, she was a direct descendant of the Jin Family!
This was something that no one could deny!
Of course, if Fang Lan was not Chu Mo's disciple. Then the Jin Family would not even acknowledge her identity as a widow.
On what basis? A girl from a small town wanted to become the Jin Family's Young Madam? Was this a joke?
But now, it was completely different. This move of the Jin Family was quite brilliant!
Since they had to give it away … they might as well give it a big one!
Compared to this, the Hong Family and the other families' proposal of giving one-tenth of the family's income to the Master of the City was too weak!
In fact, giving one-tenth of the family's net income every year was more or less an expression of sincerity. After all, every family had countless people to feed. Not to mention one-tenth, even if it was one-hundredth or one-thousandth … they would feel the pinch!
But the Jin Family was even more straightforward. They actually gave the position of the head of the family to an outsider directly!
Although they had countless ways to make the head of the family a mere figurehead and turn him into a puppet. But Fang Lan was Lu Tianming's disciple. Would they dare to do that?
In other words, if Lu Tianming nodded his head and agreed, then the entire Jin Family would be in his pocket.
Fang Lan looked at Chu Mo anxiously. In her heart, she was more concerned about Chu Mo. She hoped that her master would agree! She believed that if Jin Ming was alive, he would definitely hope that her master would agree.
Fang Lan, who was born in a small town and had once experienced innumerable hardships yet came back empty handed for the sake of a single foundational material, understood the importance of resources better than an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, Chu Mo smiled as he glanced at the elder of the Jin Family and said, "What a joke. Fang Lan has no relationship with the Jin Family, so why should she be the Jin Family's Patriarch? All of you don't have to worry about anything. Jin Xian was the culprit that caused Jin Ming's death, but he's already been executed. Moreover, this is an internal matter of your Jin Family. As for the matter of lowering your head to the Spirit Rhyme Sect … I won't pursue the matter because I believe that it might not be your original intention. All of you don't have to worry about anything. If your Jin Family is willing, then go along with these other families. "
After this elder of the Jin Family heard this, he was both moved and slightly disappointed in his heart. He never expected that this person before him would really be able to keep his word and remain completely unmoved when facing such an enormous property like the Jin Family. He directly bowed to Chu Mo. "The Jin Family is willing to honor Young Master Lu as the City Governor of Silken City!"
A few days later.
A City Governor's Estate that possessed a magnificent imposing aura rose from the ground at the center of Silken City!
On the other hand, Chu Mo had directly become the first City Governor in the history of Silken City!
A nine level pagoda was constructed within the inner court of the City Governor's Estate, and Chu Mo placed the Fiery Dragon Cup directly within it and asked the fiery dragon to protect the safety of the entire Silken City.
With the presence of the fiery dragon, Chu Mo was simply completely at ease when it came to Silken City. Because even if the clone of the Blood Devil Ancestor in the Radiant Dimension came here personally, the clone would similarly return in failure when facing this fiery dragon!
Besides this, Chu Mo also left Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong here. He gave them some medicinal pills to recuperate from their injuries and allow them to completely recover to their peak state all those years ago. Moreover, they would become a formidable reserve of Silken City.
After he finished doing this, Chu Mo decided to set out to look for Miao Yiniang and the others.
