Three days ago, Duan Lingtian broke off Zhou Fei's limbs and seriously injured Zhou Fei, which was widely spread in the governor's mansion.
At that time, almost everyone thought:
Duan Lingtian is in trouble!
After all, Duan Lingtian not only violated Qianlongyuan's rules, but also disfigured the limbs of his adopted son who was the first enshrinement of 'Zhou Tong' in their county governor's mansion, offending Zhou Tong.
However, no one expected that this would be the 'result' three days later.
The Lord Sheriff of their Sheriff's Mansion not only did not punish Duan Lingtian severely, but instead said that Duan Lingtian was not at fault, and all the faults lay with the elder of their Sheriff's Mansion, 'Zheng Qiu', because Zheng Qiu did not explain Qianlong to Duan Lingtian Due to Yuan's rules, Duan Ling would only commit such a mistake.
Because of this, Duan Lingtian's mistake is excusable.
"Elder Zheng Qiu didn't tell Duan Lingtian about the rules of Qian Longyuan, so Duan Lingtian seriously injured Zhou Fei?"
"This reason... why does it feel a bit far-fetched?"
"Elder Zheng Qiu was famous for his caution and carefulness in our county governor's mansion in the past. Is it possible that he forgot to explain the rules of Qianlongyuan to Duan Lingtian?"
"Why do I feel that...the Sheriff seems to be interested in protecting Duan Lingtian?"
"Isn't it possible? Lord Sheriff, why do you want to protect Duan Lingtian? After all, Zhou Fei is Zhou Tong's adopted son. Between Zhou Tong and Duan Lingtian, Lord Sheriff must be on Zhou Tong's side, right? "
"Exactly! No matter how talented Duan Lingtian is, his current value in the eyes of the county governor is definitely not as good as Zhou Tong's worship!"
…
Similar remarks were spread throughout the county governor's house.
They were all shocked by the 'result' announced by the Sheriff of Jiuyou County, and each of them found it a bit unbelievable.
After all, Zheng Qiu, the elder of their governor's mansion, was famous in the county governor's mansion for his caution and caution in the past. They would not be surprised if other elders of the governor's mansion were so careless.
But if they said that Elder Zheng Qiu was careless and made such a mistake, they all couldn't believe it.
Inside the Sheriff's Mansion, there is a spacious courtyard.
Listening to the news coming from outside, Zheng Qiu, who was sitting in front of the stone table and drinking tea, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "I thought Duan Lingtian was going to be unlucky this time... But I didn't expect that the special envoy of the Prince of Qin's Palace would... Come, let him escape this disaster."
Zheng Qiu was not surprised by the news that spread a lot in the Sheriff's Mansion today. In fact, he was already mentally prepared yesterday.
Yesterday, the governor of their Jiuyou County, Tian Jiyu, came to him personally and told him about the arrival of the special envoy from the Prince of Qin's Palace, as well as the words of the Prince of Qin brought by the special envoy from the Prince of Qin's Palace...
At that time, he knew:
The value of the young and powerful man 'Duan Lingtian' he brought back from Blood Nether City, in the eyes of the governor of Jiuyou County, is no less than that of 'Zhou Tong', the number one priest in their county governor's mansion, and even more. And nothing less.
"The Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition, the middle-grade elixir 'Da Luo Dan'... This time, the Prince of Qin's Palace is really making a big move!"
Zheng Qiu sighed.
He knew in his heart that because of this, in the eyes of the county guard, Duan Lingtian had a value that could rival Zhou Tong's offering, because the county guard needed Duan Lingtian to win the title for him in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition. The reward for obtaining the elixir 'Da Luo Dan'.
A middle-grade elixir, 'Daluo Dan', can create a 'Daluo Golden Immortal'.
Moreover, as far as he knew, if he could get the middle-grade elixir 'Da Luo Dan', the cultivation of the county guard would most likely be even better!
"Before Duan Lingtian appeared, the Sheriff must have regarded 'Zhou Fei' as his hope after hearing the news... But now, Duan Lingtian, who can defeat Zhou Fei face to face, has replaced Zhou Fei and become the hope of the Sheriff. "
Zheng Qiu also knew this very well.
Otherwise, the county guard would not come over in person to discuss with him and let him take the blame this time and save Duan Lingtian.
"I've taken the blame this time..."
Now, there are widespread rumors outside that the reason why Duan Lingtian violated Qianlongyuan's rules was because he, the lead person, did not tell Duan Lingtian about Qianlongyuan's rules. He was the 'root' of all the faults.
Under the instructions of their Jiuyou County Sheriff, he willingly took the blame.
However, even though he took the blame, he was not dissatisfied.
Because the county guard had promised him a lot of benefits and assured him that even if Zhou Tong offered him trouble, he would protect him and would not let him suffer any harm or anything happen to him.
Qianlongyuan.
"That Duan Lingtian...is okay?"
"Oh my god! In the end, this matter turned out to be Elder Zheng Qiu's fault?"
"Duan Lingtian was brought back by Elder Zheng Qiu from Blood Nether City... Although he saved Duan Lingtian by doing this, he also got himself involved! Is it worth it for him to do this?"
"What you mean is...that in order to protect Duan Lingtian, Elder Zheng Qiu is willing to take the blame for this?"
"Yes. With Elder Zheng Qiu's caution and attentiveness, it is almost impossible that he did not tell Duan Lingtian about our Qianlongyuan rules. This matter must be the 'blame' that Elder Zheng Qiu took for Duan Lingtian."
…
All the young experts in Qianlongyuan now all agree:
It was Elder Zheng Qiu of their county governor's mansion who took the initiative to take the blame for this in order to protect Duan Lingtian.
Otherwise, even if Duan Lingtian does not die this time, he will definitely shed a layer of skin!
"Elder Zheng Qiu?"
Qin Yu, who had just walked out of the training stone room, also heard about the 'execution' made by the Jiuyou County Sheriff's Mansion regarding Duan Lingtian's serious injury to Zhou Fei three days ago. He was also surprised for a while.
He never expected that this matter would eventually become Elder Zheng Qiu's fault.
He came to Qianlongyuan with Duan Lingtian.
He still clearly remembers what Elder Zheng Qiu said to Duan Lingtian when he came to Qianlongyuan.
He clearly remembers:
At that time, Elder Zheng Qiu introduced the rules of Qianlongyuan to them in detail, including the rules that challengers cannot kill the challenged, seriously injure the challenged, and abolish the challenged.
"This matter is related to the chief minister of the county governor's office, 'Zhou Tong'... Elder Zheng Qiu is so blatantly taking the blame for Duan Lingtian, isn't he afraid that Zhou Tong, the chief minister, will cause trouble for him?"
Qin Yu secretly thought that he couldn't figure this out either.
Although Zheng Qiu is the inner elder of the Sheriff's Mansion, and is the second person under Da Luo Jinxian in Jiuyou County, he is not Da Luo Jinxian after all, and his value in the Sheriff's Mansion is far less than that of the first worshiper in the Sheriff's Mansion. Zhou Tong'.
Even if Zhou Tong killed him blatantly, he would not suffer any punishment.
In the eyes of the governor of Jiuyou County, Zhou Tong's value is not comparable to that of Zheng Qiu!
Because of this, he was a little confused.
Elder Zheng Qiu, who helped Duan Lingtian like this, wasn't he afraid of offending Zhou Tong?
It was also Qin Yu who didn't know about the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' and the rewards related to the martial arts competition, otherwise he would definitely not think so.
Three days ago, one of the protagonists of that incident, 'Zhou Fei', came out of the cultivation stone chamber. He thought he would receive good news that Duan Lingtian was severely punished. However, he did not expect that the news he received was that Duan Lingtian was fine and Zheng Zheng was fine. The news that Elder Qiu took the blame for Duan Lingtian.
"No...impossible! Impossible!!"
Zhou Fei kept shaking his head, unwilling to believe that everything he heard was true.
However, as more and more similar words came to his ears, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it.
"Elder Zheng Qiu...Elder Zheng Qiu..."
Zhou Fei immediately went to find Zheng Qiu himself, and asked in a questioning tone: "Elder Zheng Qiu, why do you want to help Duan Lingtian? You are well-known in the Sheriff's Mansion for your caution and carefulness. There is no way you didn’t tell Duan Lingtian about the rules of Qianlongyuan.”
"What is Duan Lingtian's relationship with you? Why do you protect him so much?"
Zhou Fei looked at Zheng Qiu and asked in a deep voice.
"presumptuous!"
Zheng Qiu shouted coldly, glared at Zhou Fei and said, "Zhou Fei, do you know who you are talking to? I, Zheng Qiu, am the inner elder of the county governor's mansion after all, and you, a mere Qianlongyuan disciple, dare to question me ?”
Facing Zheng Qiu's cold drink, Zhou Fei was not afraid at all and continued to say in a deep voice: "Elder Zheng Qiu, don't forget that in addition to being a disciple of Qianlongyuan, I am also the adopted son enshrined by Zhou Tong... What are you doing for that? Duan Lingtian, taking this matter is tantamount to becoming an enemy of my adoptive father! You have not only offended me, but also offended my adoptive father!"
"Aren't you worried that my adoptive father will come back to settle the score with you?"
When talking about it later, Zhou Fei's tone was also full of threats.
"roll!"
Facing Zhou Fei's threat, Zheng Qiu also became angry. As soon as he raised his hand, the vast and majestic power swept out, as if it turned into a huge stone, and hit Zhou Fei hard, directly knocking Zhou Fei away. blasted out of his courtyard.
"If you are not satisfied... you can ask Zhou Tong to come to me!"
When Zhou Fei was blasted out of the courtyard and fell heavily to the ground, Zheng Qiu's cold voice came out at the right time.
For a moment, Zhou Fei, who was thrown to the ground, was completely stunned and didn't even stand up for a long time.
He couldn't figure it out at all:
Elder Zheng Qiu, why didn't he even feel the slightest fear when he mentioned his adoptive father?
In the courtyard, Zheng Qiu smiled sarcastically.
Zhou Tong worshiped him, so he was naturally afraid.
However, the reason why he took the blame for Duan Lingtian this time was because of the instruction of the Sheriff of their Sheriff's Mansion. With the Sheriff protecting him, he didn't have to worry about Zhou Tong's minister giving him trouble because of this matter.
Duan Lingtian didn't know anything that happened outside.
He was in the stone chamber of Qianlongyuan, his mind completely immersed in his cultivation, and he completely forgot about time...
"finally……"
Half a year later, Duan Lingtian, who had not been disturbed, opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with light.
Golden fairy!
He finally became a golden immortal!
