Chapter 439: The Medicine was Switched [Second Update]
Yuan Jihu looked at Chief Su, waiting for him to continue.
Donglin City was merely a small city, yet the Wen Family was one of the strongest great families in Lanqu County City. If the Wen Family coveted the position of the Donglin City Lord, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to obtain it.
"Although the Wen Family expended tremendous resources and operated in the shadows for a long time, in the end, the position of Donglin City Lord did not fall into the hands of the Wen Family. The new Donglin City Lord is an elder of the Jing Family at the Innate Peak Realm. Everything the Wen Family did was in vain!" Chief Su took a deep breath as he spoke.
Yuan Jihu was stunned!
He looked dazedly at Chief Su!
The new Donglin City Lord was an elder of the Jing Family? And a martial artist who hadn’t even stepped into the Dao Spirit Realm?
Although Donglin City was a small city, how could the position of city lord fall to a martial artist who had not yet ascended to the Dao Spirit Realm? This seemed unprecedented, didn’t it?
"The reason why the Prince appointed the Jing Family elder as the Donglin City Lord is precisely because of Jing Yan. It is said that once Jing Yan asked the Prince for the position of city lord, he was immediately granted without hesitation," Chief Su’s voice, filled with astonishment, permeated the room.
Yuan Jihu’s body felt as if all of his strength had been drained, and he slumped back into his chair.
His thoughts seemed to have stalled.
Jing Yan simply asked for a city lord position, and the Prince gave it to him? Moreover, Jing Yan did not assume the city lordship himself but delegated it to an elder of the Jing Family at the Innate Peak Realm.
The Wen Family had expended so much effort, all for nothing? Undoubtedly, the Wen Family would not be satisfied, but the Donglin City Lord was still served by an elder of the Jing Family, which meant that in front of the Prince, the Wen Family was far less significant than Jing Yan.
