Ren Xiao smiled bitterly and asked, "Why did Your Highness choose me?"

Tang Yin said: "Because you and I are close friends..."

"So Your Highness should not harm me." Ren Xiao said: "Your Highness should know that I have always been lazy, don't like to be restrained, and have no intention of coveting the position of the Holy King. Your Highness asked me to be the Holy King, wouldn't that be true?

Did you trap me in the palace?"

"Even if Brother Ren becomes the Saint King, he can travel around the world!" At this point, Tang Yin turned his eyes and looked at Xia Yao, and said: "Does Brother Ren really intend to sneak around with the Saint like he is now?

Will you live your whole life? Only if Brother Ren becomes the Holy King of the Divine Pond, can he change the current laws of the Divine Pond, and can he be united with the Saint in an honest and upright manner."

"This..." Ren Xiao took a breath and remained silent. Xia Yao's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded secretly, feeling that Tang Yin was right. As long as Ren Xiao ascends the throne, he can marry her openly and honestly.

No one would object to the union between the king and the saint, or dare to object. Thinking of this, she felt excited. She turned to look at Ren Xiao, and saw that he was frowning and not speaking, and whispered: "Smile..."

Tang Yin said seriously: "The current Divine Pond is no longer what it used to be, especially after Guanghan heard about this incident. I'm afraid that the countries in the world will no longer respect the Divine Pond as much as before. Once the supplies of the countries are lost, how will the Divine Pond survive?"

Ren Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I ascend the throne, nothing will change!"

"That's different!" Tang Yin immediately answered: "As long as Brother Ren becomes the Holy King of the Divine Pond, the supply of the Divine Pond will be provided by the Feng Kingdom. If someone else becomes the Holy King, the Feng Nation will not provide the Divine Pond with a grain of grain or a single coin!

"

Ren Xiao was delighted when he heard the words. Tang Yin's words were just like the angry words of a child. He said quietly: "Your Highness, aren't you trying to rape me?"

Tang Yin walked up to Ren Xiao, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What's wrong with being a Holy King? The three elders Dongfang, Huangfu, and Nie Zhen were all eyeing the position of Holy King when they were alive. Now you can get it at your fingertips. Why?

You still want to extrapolate it? You listen to me on this matter, it’s settled, the Holy King of Shenchi must be you.” At this point, he said happily: “The wedding ceremony of the Holy King and the Saint of Shenchi will also be held.

It turned into a good story.”

He knew very well where Ren Xiao's weakness was. It was useless to talk to him about these big principles, and he wouldn't listen. Only by moving out of Xia Yao, Ren Xiao might be tempted.

As he expected, Ren Xiao subconsciously looked at Xia Yao, who was also looking at him expectantly, with an expression of joy, urgency and anxiety on her face.

Ren Xiao secretly sighed, yes, can he allow Xia Yao and him to live secretly for the rest of their lives, like a pair of shady mice? She is a majestic saint, and it would be too unfair to treat her like this.

Thinking of this, he sighed quietly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! This time, I will listen to His Highness!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin was overjoyed, with a smile on his face. He patted Ren Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ren will be in charge of Shenchi, so I can sit back and relax in Feng Kingdom. The world from now on will belong to you and me!

"

Ren Xiao waved his hands repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, Ren Xiao has no interest in conquering the world. Now he just wants to live a peaceful and carefree life."

When Tang Yin heard this, he felt somewhat guilty in his heart. After he became the Holy King, he would only be busy with official duties every day, and his carefree and comfortable days would probably be gone forever.

Whenever there is a second candidate, Tang Yin does not want to drag down Ren Xiao, but there is really no one he can trust in Shenchi.

The smile on his face disappeared, his expression darkened, and he whispered: "This time... I'll leave it to Brother Ren."

It was not easy to get Tang Yin to say please. Ren Xiao also knew very well how deeply Tang Yin was afraid of Shenchi, and also knew how much of a threat Shenchi would pose to Feng State once he sided with Sichuan Kingdom.

He smiled helplessly and murmured: "When Your Highness rules the world, that will be the day when Ren Xiao succeeds and retires!"

His words moved Tang Yin. He held Ren Xiao's hand and said nothing more.

Two days later, Tang Yin convened the elders of Shenchi in the Presbytery to discuss the matter of electing a new holy king. Xiao Xuan also received the invitation and rushed over.

In the past, when the elders of Shenchi gathered, the elders' courtyard was overcrowded and lively. But now, there are only a few dozen elders left, sparsely sitting in their respective seats, and the huge elders' courtyard seems extremely empty.

Tang Yin looked around at the crowd and spoke first: "Now, Elder Dongfang, Elder Huangfu and Elder Nie have died one after another, but the position of the Holy King of Shenchi cannot remain vacant forever. Please tell me, all the elders, are there any suitable candidates?

"

The elders looked at each other, and no one spoke. The position of the Holy King is very tempting, but it will also cost people's lives! Even the great elders like Dongfang Yehuai, Huangfu Xiutai, and Nie Zhen died because of their position as the Holy King.

, if he stood up and fought for it, the final result would probably be no better than the three great elders.

Seeing that the elders were all hanging their heads and not saying a word, Tang Yin looked at Xiao Xuan again and asked: "Brother Xiao Wang, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head. In his mind, the best candidate for the Holy King is Dongfang Yehuai. Now that Dongfang Yehuai is dead, he doesn't know who to choose as the Holy King. He said quietly: "Gu is gone now."

The idea should be discussed by the elders!"

Tang Yin said to the elders: "If you can't think of a suitable candidate, I can recommend someone."

Oh? After hearing his words, everyone present raised their heads and focused their attention on Tang Yin. Lu Jian bowed and asked, "I wonder who His Highness, Prince Feng, recommended?"

"Seventh Young Master of Shenchi, Ren Xiao!" Tang Yin said word by word. At the same time, he squinted his eyes and looked around the people present, carefully paying attention to the changes in the expressions on their faces.

Ren Xiao? If Tang Yin didn't mention this name, the elders would almost forget this person.

A famous elder immediately stood up and said: "Ren Xiao is Guang Hanting's adopted son. He recognized a thief as his father and did not punish him severely. This is a great blessing. How can he be chosen as the holy king?"

"Hey!" Tang Yin waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Although Ren Xiao is Guang Hanting's adopted son, he has not been in cahoots with Guang Hanting. Furthermore, when Guang Hanting accepted him as his adopted son, he was just a

How can a child distinguish between good and evil? Let alone a child, even an older person may not be able to distinguish between good and evil, beauty and hatred."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the elders present turned red. Yes, most of them were promoted to elders by Guang Hanting, and they had always been loyal to Guang Hanting in the past. If Ren Xiao said that

They recognized thieves as their fathers, which was tantamount to scolding them for helping the tyrants. The elder who stood up to object turned red and pale for a while, and finally sat back without saying anything more.

Tang Yin continued: "You elders should be very clear about Mr. Ren's character and behavior. He is upright, benevolent, kind and easy-going. Although he is the adopted son of Guanghan Ting and the dignified Mr. Shenchi, he has no airs. Such a person is not worthy.

Become a Holy King?"

Lu Jian said quietly: "The position of Holy King cannot be achieved by just being upright, benevolent, kind and easy-going."

Tang Yin nodded and agreed: "Elder Lu is right. If you want to become the Holy King of Shenchi, you can't just rely on your character. In terms of ability, Mr. Ren was the first to see that Guanghan Ting had ulterior motives, and he was also the first to leave Guanghan Ting.

In Lingwu, Mr. Ren has reached the pinnacle at a young age. Even if he is not as good as the elders here, he is not far behind. I believe that if we go back twenty years, none of the elders here will be able to compare with Lingwu.

As good as Mr. Ren now."

Ren Xiao is a prodigy who practices spiritual martial arts. Everyone knows this. Otherwise, how could Guang Hanting, who has such a discerning eye, accept him as his adopted son? The key is that he is too young, and he is Guang Hanting's adopted son.

It is really difficult for him to serve as the Holy King and convince the public.

Lu Jian frowned and said: "The selection of the Holy King is not a trivial matter. It is also related to the future life and death of Shenchi. I believe that the candidate for the Holy King must be highly respected and should be selected among the elders."

Tang Yin asked with a smile: "I wonder who Elder Lu recommended?"

"This..." Lu Jian was at a loss for words. He just felt that Ren Xiao was not qualified to be the Holy King, but if he was asked to point out a specific candidate, he really couldn't think of one.

Tang Yin said quietly: "Elder Lu has repeatedly opposed the appointment of Young Master as the Holy King, but there is no suitable candidate in mind. Isn't this ridiculous?"

Lu Jian's face darkened and he said sternly: "Now it's me, Shenchi, who is electing the Holy King, but His Highness the Wind King keeps interfering. Isn't this even more ridiculous?"

After hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Lu Jian not only scolded King Feng, but also scolded King Sichuan. Sure enough, Xiao Xuan on the side couldn't help but frowned. Another elder stood up and retorted:

"King Feng and King Sichuan helped our Shenchi eradicate the scourge of Guang Han Ting. They are the benefactors of our Shenchi. Now our Shenchi is going to elect a new holy king. It is only natural that the two highnesses should be present. Elder Lu said this, not to trap our Shenchi.

Are you ungrateful?"

Many elders nodded and said that he was right. The Divine Pond would elect the Holy King, and King Feng and King Sichuan were indeed qualified to participate.

Tang Yin smiled instead and said softly: "This elder is serious. Brother Xiao Wang and I will not consider ourselves as benefactors of Shenchi." While speaking, he also looked at Xiao Xuan, who nodded repeatedly.

Said he was right.

He continued: "It's just that the status of Shenchi is extraordinary, and the Holy King of Shenchi is even more extraordinary. Lingwu and reputation are certainly very important, but I feel that these two points are not as good as the character and virtue of the Holy King. Otherwise, even Lingwu

Being as prestigious as Guanghan Ting will only bring endless disasters to Shenchi. The lessons from the past are right in front of us, so I hope all the elders will think twice!"
