Wen Ruoxu arrived gracefully and took the initiative to greet and chat with all parties.
He is calm and generous in dealing with people.
Even people who met him for the first time couldn't help but admire his demeanor.
At least in terms of appearance, Wen Ruoxu does have the appearance of a leader, and his every move and gesture is so impressive.
Until another singing of praise was heard.
"Lin Yi, the governor of Long County, has arrived!"
Everyone's expression changed at the same time, and the entire atmosphere froze.
Under the attention of the whole audience, Lin Yi walked slowly along the road alone with his hands in his pockets.
There is no airs of a big shot at all, and at first glance he looks just like an ordinary passerby.
But this lonely figure inexplicably made everyone present feel breathless, especially Wen Ruoxu, whose face changed.
He was reborn by reloading the save file, and there was no memory of the scene of the two dragons meeting.
However, for some reason, he felt an instinctive tremor when he saw Lin Yi at this moment, and that fear seemed to be deeply rooted in his bones.
Lin Yi slowly walked in front of Wen Ruoxu and raised his lips: "General Manager of Nanjun?"
Wen Ruoxu's breath was choked: "Do you have any objection?"
"But why is the dragon head stick here with me?"
Lin Yi shook his hand casually, and the dragon head stick unique to Nanjun immediately came into everyone's sight.
The expressions of all parties suddenly became subtle.
For a long time, the ownership of the Nanjun Dragon Head Stick has only been a legend among the people. Many people firmly believe that it is still in Wen Ruoxu's hands, which is one of the reasons why they continue to support Wen Ruoxu.
After all, holding a dragon head stick is equivalent to holding orthodoxy.
Wen Ruoxu never denied it.
I never expected that in today's occasion with so many distinguished people gathered, Lin Yi would use this to slap me in the face in public.
Feeling the amused gazes from all sides, Wen Ruoxu's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "I am willing to accept the defeat. Since I lost to you in the first place, I will naturally not regret it. However, whether I can hold on to it in the future depends on Brother Lin's ability."
"Easy to say."
Lin Yi turned to look at Di Wenhua: "You said he is the governor of Nanjun. Is he standing on the side of Nanyang City?"
Di Wenhua immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no, it was the subordinates who were shouting nonsense. Nanyang City definitely did not mean that. I hope Manager Lin will not misunderstand. I apologize to you on behalf of Nanyang City."
As he said this, he bowed to the ground.
The rest of the people in Nanyang City all knelt down, not daring to breathe.
To be honest, although I say I am neutral, I am actually biased in my heart.
During the period when Wen Ruoxu was in power, he generally adopted a conciliatory strategy. Many of them were vested interests, and compared to an outsider like Lin Yi, it was obvious which side they were sitting on.
But at this moment, he was really facing Lin Yi.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure of that Shura-like aura is another matter entirely.
From Di Wenhua onwards, the people in Nanyang City are not that tough.
Lin Yi glanced at the crowd and said, "Let's not talk about whether you are qualified to be neutral. Now that the slogan has been shouted, at least make it look good. Otherwise, it will be a shame to be used as a sacrifice."
"Yes, yes, I will follow Manager Lin's instructions."
Di Wenhua was sweating profusely and nodded repeatedly.
Wen Ruoxu watched the scene coldly. He didn't dare to confront them and could only endure it.
This is not the site of the gambling stone conference. If Lin Yi really wants to tear his face off and attack him here, the Stone Alliance will not intervene at all.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Only if he succeeds in the gambling stone conference will he have the capital to turn the tide.
At this time, a young man who looked like a rich young man said impatiently: "Why are you guys acting like this? I'm here to participate in the gambling stone conference. I don't have time to waste with you. Hurry up and lead the way, you idiots!"
Everyone looked sideways.
But after seeing this person's appearance clearly, everyone was no longer surprised.
Hong Taisui of Dongjun.
This man's father and brothers had been in charge of Dongjun for three generations, and he had almost turned the huge Dongjun into his family's private property. In terms of strength alone, no one present could compare with him.
At least on paper, even Lin Yi, who now spans two counties, is still far behind.
He doesn't need to give face to anyone at all.
Di Wenhua felt as if he had been granted amnesty upon hearing this, and quickly agreed, "I am sorry for my poor hospitality, dear guests, please follow me."
Under his leadership, everyone immediately came to the City Lord's Mansion.
It has now been requisitioned by the Stone Alliance as the venue for the Stone Gambling Conference.
Lin Yi only took a glance and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
There was clearly only a temporary magic array set up at the venue, but its strength was something Lin Yi had never seen before.
Compared with the Black Sky Prison that Wen Ruoxu had carefully arranged before, it was at least ten times stronger!
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Lin Yi suddenly had an intuitive understanding of why the Stone Alliance could monopolize such a lucrative business and why it could be so detached from the world.
The rest of the people were all wealthy and powerful figures, but at this moment they all restrained themselves and no longer showed any rebelliousness.
It is common sense among the upper class that one must remain respectful in front of the Stone Alliance.
"Welcome everyone."
A white-haired old man stood up to greet them: "I am Li Ange, honored to be the director of this gambling stone conference."
"Meet Mr. Li."
Everyone returned the greeting consciously, including the arrogant Hong Taisui, who behaved well in front of this person and did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Li Ange took the lead and led everyone into the inner hall.
At one glance, everyone gasped.
The huge inner hall was empty without any luxurious furnishings. It was just divided into three rows of exhibition stands, each of which contained twenty stones of different sizes.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up instantly.
These stones look ordinary, but if you feel them carefully, you will find that each one exudes a strong sense of the great way.
Even this is still separated by the stone shell.
Once it is completely cut open, it is unimaginable how rich the meaning of the great way is.
"Is this the legendary Originium?"
Some people were obviously here for the first time and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Hong Taisui curled his lips in disdain: "You are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. You will be ripped off if you come in."
Having said that, he could not conceal his excitement when he looked at the Originium.
Thirty thousand Avenue resources in exchange for an admission ticket, no matter from which angle you look at it, it can be said to be a sky-high ticket.
But even so, people still flock to it.
Why?
As long as you get a piece of top-quality source stone, you can get your money back immediately, or even make a fortune.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the gambling stone conference.
Li Ange smiled and introduced to everyone: "Some of you present here are old customers, and there are also a few new customers. Allow me to talk a little and introduce the rules of this gambling stone conference."
"Everyone has paid thirty thousand Dao resources, and you can choose any three source stones from the source stones we prepared."
"After you have made your selection, you can choose to take it away, but you will need to pay an additional 10,000 Dao resources for each piece you take away."
