Chapter 546 - Letting the Dust Settle (1/2)

Bai Shixin was completely surprised. He had made preparations to act, but he never expected that an insect would appear from the skies.

The deal between them was just to deal with fellow Greater Rats who had been urged by Nie Yuan to send themselves to their deaths. It did not include dealing with an unexpected factor like Cang Lang.

He never thought that the other party would actually take the initiative to act and help suppress this wretched Arctic Wolf.

At this moment, cheers sounded from the Square.

“Well said, how dare you bully others with force? We don’t want you to be King!”

“As expected of an influential clan from the Upper Realm, their insight is different. You should learn from them a little, you lowly mongrel…”

A group of Greater Rats already stood up and said hatefully.

This Arctic Wolf dared to launch a surprise attack and caused their Clan to suffer through humiliation. Since they could not beat it with force, they naturally had to resort to words instead.

Cang Lang’s face flushed in fury although its heart was calm as ever. It was thinking about a question, ‘Why do I always get beaten back every time I come out to show off…

‘Right, the reason’s very simple. I’m not wrong, it’s just that my power isn’t strong enough.

‘I’m at the apex of the second-rate world, but I’m only dregs in the first-rate world. That’s why I was beaten when meeting Elder Ancestor Bai, and why I don’t have certainty of success and even have to fear its background when meeting Chong Daqing!

‘Hmph, looks like I’ll have to cultivate well and work harder. When I’m number one in the world, I’ll come back again!’

It secretly resolved itself and suddenly disappeared from the Square without saying a single word.

It appeared soundlessly but left in full view of the public.

“Hahaha, that mongrel ran away with its tail between its legs!”

“This is all thanks to the reinforcement. Thankfully, Chief Bai made countless plans and invited reinforcements in advance to be absolutely safe. They even prevented that vile person from succeeding and defended our dignity of our Greater Rat Clan.”

“Yeah, if I had to choose a leader for us, I’d choose Chief Bai. Without him, we’d be finished today!”

Although the credit belonged to the great green insect, since Bai Shixin arranged for supporters first, they quickly guided the opinions so that all the credit shifted to his efforts.

Although what they were saying was not false, it was only a part of the truth.

The Greater Rats in the Square got up from the ground and secretly nodded after hearing all these.

That was just the way it is. Now that there was no suppression from top-notch powerhouses in the clan, they could only let a top-notch wise man come to power. They would temporarily scrape by and deal with the parties until a genius younger generation appears who can support the overall situation and make progress.

Those who had the qualifications to attend the funeral were all Greater Rats with some scholarly positions, not those laborers or even those incomplete ones. They could be considered to be the Greater Rat elites.

They could naturally make reasonable judgments. There really were only a few people who were suitable candidates to rise to power.

By elimination, only the exceedingly wise Bai Shixin, who had always been selfless, impartial, and honest was the most suitable.

He also had an advantage: he could not cultivate.
