Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 234

Many people who appeared to be quite wealthy also revealed a glint of shrewdness in their eyes.

When is the best time for a businessman to make money?

Of course, it's during wartime. If the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire were to go to war, food, troops, and resources would all cost money.

Many businessmen were already calculating in their minds how many resources they still had to utilize, and how many people in the army they could win over...

After speaking, Deacon Liu looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, and then said, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. The information we received is not what you think."

Upon hearing Deacon Liu's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly surprised that their long discussion had taken a completely off track.

On the edge of the fourth-floor window, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun listened to Deacon Liu's words below, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, news from the Gama Empire could actually reach us from the distant Izumo Empire.

"The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion actually learned about the news within the Gama Empire so quickly."

Xiao Fan said to Yun Yun with some surprise.

Although the Chuyun Empire and the Jiama Empire are not far apart, due to the special relationship between the two countries, the exchange of information is not so convenient. Xiao Fan thought that it would take some time for the Chuyun Empire to obtain information from the Jiama Empire.

After all, even Xiao Fan and his group had only been in the Chuyun Empire for a few days.

"Deacon Liu, what exactly is the news?"

The crowd kept asking Deacon Liu for confirmation.

Deacon Liu didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said, "The first piece of news concerns the Yunlan Sect of the Jia Ma Empire."

Deacon Liu addressed the crowd, saying, "As everyone knows, the Yunlan Sect is the largest sect within the Jia Ma Empire, and its sect leader, Yun Yun, is a Dou Huang level expert. However, according to the information we have received, Yun Yun is no longer the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect and has completely severed ties with it."

"what!"

"This... I can't believe such a thing could happen."

As enemies, the Chuyun Empire and the Jiama Empire are well-known forces within each other's territories. Therefore, when people heard that Yun Yun, the only Douhuang expert of the Yunlan Sect, had severed ties with the Yunlan Sect, they would never have believed it if the news hadn't come from Tianxiang Tower.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the crowd around him, Deacon Liu felt a pang of sadness. After all, when he first heard the news, he wasn't much better off than them.

"According to our information, Yun Shan, the former sect leader of Yunlan Sect, is not dead. On the contrary, he has completely entered the Dou Zong realm. Yun Yun's betrayal is related to this."

Before anyone could react, Deacon Liu dropped another bombshell.

As expected, everyone was shocked when they heard about Steward Liu's news. Xiao Fan even noticed that some Dou Wangs on the upper five floors couldn't help but reveal their auras due to their shock.

However, the other party reacted extremely quickly and hid in an instant.

However, under Xiao Fan's powerful perception, all of this was in vain.

Looking at the excited crowd, Deacon Liu nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand before speaking again: "Everyone, we've released more than just this one piece of information today."

The crowd quieted down after hearing Deacon Liu's words, though some murmurs still lingered.

After everyone quieted down, Deacon Liu spoke up, saying, "The impact of this second piece of news is no less than that of the first, and may even be more shocking."

After everyone's curiosity was piqued by Deacon Liu, he spoke up and said, "The second piece of news concerns the snake-people race of the Gama Empire."

"As everyone knows, Medusa, the queen of the Snake People, is known as the most alluring woman in the Gama Empire. She has also broken through to the Dou Zong realm and even stormed the Yunlan Sect, defeating Yun Shan in a head-on confrontation!"

"The snake-people of the Gama Empire have now migrated as a whole to the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Gama Empire."

"!!!"

As soon as Deacon Liu finished speaking, another wave of commotion swept through the street.

The value revealed by this news is no less than that of the news of Yun Yun's defection from Yunlan Sect and Yun Shan's breakthrough to Dou Zong.

First, Medusa, the queen of the snake people, broke through to the Dou Zong level.

Secondly, Medusa defeated Yunshan in a direct confrontation with Yunlan Sect!

This shows that Medusa's strength has not only broken through to the Dou Zong realm, but is even much stronger than ordinary Dou Zong experts. Otherwise, she could not have single-handedly stormed the Yunlan Sect and even defeated Yunshan in the Yunlan Sect's home ground.

Chapter 14 The Manager of Tianxiang Tower

Many businessmen's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light when they heard what Steward Liu said.

It's important to know that snake-people slaves have always been a large market on the black market, especially the alluring snake women, who are indispensable commodities in many wealthy households.

In the northwestern region of this continent, the largest settlement of the snake people is located within the territory of the Gama Empire.

It can be said that the snake-people slaves in the Izumo Empire today are basically from the snake-people tribes within the Gama Empire.

Although Medusa was already a Dou Huang at the time, the people of the Izumo Empire were not worried because of the distance. In addition, the various tribes of the Snake People were scattered and far apart, and the strong were scattered, so there were always people who dared to capture Snake People to auction off.

However, now that the Snake-Man Queen has advanced to the Dou Zong level and the entire Snake-Man race has migrated to the Monster Mountain Range, it will probably not be so easy to obtain Snake-Man slaves in the future.

Many black market merchants who still had a batch of snake-people slaves that they hadn't auctioned off wore excited smiles on their faces.

With this news, the price of snake-people slaves will likely skyrocket in the coming period, making this trip truly worthwhile.

Deacon Liu glanced at the chattering crowd, his gaze sweeping over several black market merchants. Seeing their excited expressions, he shook his head slightly.

If Queen Medusa had only been a Dou Huang in the past, she probably wouldn't have dared to come to the Chuyun Empire so openly, so everyone turned a blind eye to the auction of snake-people slaves.

However, the opposing queen has now advanced to the Dou Zong level and even defeated another Dou Zong in a head-on battle. If anyone still dares to auction off the opposing clansmen so recklessly, they might bring about their own destruction. You must know that the difference between Dou Huang and Dou Zong is not small.

However, these businessmen were completely blinded by immediate profits and did not consider the potential crises that might arise in the future.

Shaking his head, Deacon Liu spoke again to quiet everyone down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a third piece of news that we haven't announced yet."

"There are more? My goodness, what's going on with the Jia Ma Empire? Could it be that three Dou Zong have suddenly appeared?"

"The Gama Empire has suddenly gained so many powerful figures. I wonder if our Izumo Empire can compare to them."

"Who says we can't compare? Don't you think about it? With the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect around, what would the Gama Empire dare to do?"

......

As the crowd gradually quieted down, Deacon Liu slowly said, "We have received reliable information that the betrayal of Yunlan Sect Master Yun Yun and the attack on Yunlan Sect by the Snake-People Queen Medusa are both related to one person."

"The Xiao family, Xiao Fan!"

"The Xiao family? Is there a family called the Xiao family in the Jia Ma Empire? Why have I only heard of the Mu family and the Nalan family?"

"Could the Xiao family be a reclusive family from the Jia Ma Empire? Are they no longer pretending and are preparing to enter the world?"

"Xiao Fan? Just who is this Xiao Fan? How could he possibly make Medusa and Yun Yun both clash with the Yunlan Sect for his sake?"

......

Deacon Liu listened to the discussion without offering any rebuttal. After a long while, he finally spoke.

"I heard that Xiao Fan will be marrying Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect..."

Deacon Liu spoke eloquently for a long time, starting from Yun Yun's wedding, to Xiao Fan's wedding abduction, being wanted, and Medusa's intervention, telling the whole story to the audience. They were completely engrossed, as if listening to a story. At the most exciting parts, many hot-tempered audience members even shouted out loud.

"That's impressive! Xiao Fan is a true hero. He's only a Dou Huang, yet he still managed to storm up to the Yunlan Sect, face a Dou Zong expert head-on, and ultimately escape from his clutches."

“That’s right. No wonder Yun Yun was willing to leave Yunlan Sect for Xiao Fan. If it were me, I would also be willing to leave such a cold-blooded and ruthless sect for him.”

"I just want to know who this Xiao Fan is. Yun Yun ran away with him, and even the Queen of the Snake-People Clan went to attack the Yunlan Sect for him! He deserves to die!"

......

Listening to the discussions below, Xiao Fan felt as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling all over him. Luckily, there were no acquaintances of his around.

Otherwise, Xiao Fan would probably be embarrassed enough to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room house with his feet.

Seeing Xiao Fan's unnatural expression, Yun Yun smiled and gently moved closer to him, saying, "Did you hear that? Everyone envies you. The Yunlan Sect Master and Queen Medusa are enjoying their time together."

"What a pity, they don't know that in the heart of our Lord Xiao Fan, there is still a little fairy doctor."

Xiao Fan chuckled awkwardly at Yun Yun's sarcastic remarks, then reached out and pulled her close, taking the opportunity to hug her and whisper in her ear, "What's wrong? Jealous?"

This is a new fighting technique that Xiao Fan created during this period.

As long as you hold Yunyun in your arms and whisper in her ear, Yunyun will behave.

As expected, upon noticing Xiao Fan's actions, Yun Yun felt a shiver run through her body. She leaned against Xiao Fan's chest and let out a soft moan. Her right hand moved upwards along Xiao Fan's chest, and her long, slender index fingernail gently scratched Xiao Fan's Adam's apple.

After Steward Liu finished announcing the three pieces of news from Tianxiang Tower, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed.

They were all busy processing the messages that Deacon Liu had just shared.

First, there was the Yunlan Sect. The former sect leader of the Yunlan Sect regained control of the sect, which made all the forces within the Chuyun Empire uneasy.

After all, Yun Shan, the former sect leader of Yunlan Sect, was not an easy person to get along with. Many forces within the Chuyun Empire had grudges against him. Now that Yun Shan has broken through to the Dou Zong level, they are worried about his retaliation.

Secondly, those who control snake-man slaves need to decide whether to sell them at a higher price to make a fortune, or to abandon these snake-man slaves and sell them to Queen Medusa, who has just advanced to the Dou Zong realm. They need a clear plan.

Many people have also begun to investigate who Xiao Fan's family is, hoping to win them over.

After all, Xiao Fan's ability to escape unscathed from Yun Shan already demonstrated his strength. Most importantly, by winning over Xiao Fan, they would gain two more powerful figures, Yun Yun and Queen Medusa, so they naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by.

After watching the crowd disperse, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun waited for a while. Xiao Fan gently patted Yun Yun before saying, "Let's go see the manager of Tianxiang Tower."

Shortly after Xiao Fan and his group entered the cubicle, a middle-aged man who appeared to be of considerable status appeared outside their cubicle. He waited quietly without disturbing them, and Xiao Fan had anticipated his appearance.

Chapter 15 Si Kou Thirteen

As soon as Xiao Fan and his companion opened the door, the middle-aged man waiting outside bowed to them and said, "Please wait, our master invites you in."

Xiao Fan sized up the middle-aged man in front of him. He looked to be around fifty years old, with a strand of white hair on each side of his head, neatly combed behind his ears. He forced a cold smile on his face, as if he hadn't smiled in a long time, which looked extremely strange. He was dressed in all black, with no other color on his body except black. If you threw him into a crowd, you probably wouldn't be able to find him after turning around.

Fighting King?
