"Hey!"

Seeing that Tianqing Gongzi looked indifferently at Shangguan Chen, Shangguan Tong and the others, Han Wenye, Wang Tianming and others on the side suddenly sneered in a low voice.

I've been waiting for most of the day, and this is the moment I've been waiting for!

"Shangguan City Lord, don't come unharmed!" Tianqing Gongzi looked at Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Tong, his eyes stayed on Shangguan Tong for a while, and then he spoke, and there was no joy or sorrow in his voice.

"Tianqing Gongzi!" Shangguan Chen's face was also very indifferent, and he just bent down slightly, and then responded with the same indifference.

"Be bold Shangguan Chen, why don't you go out of the city to greet you when you see the Holy Son? Why don't you go to the old residence of the son to meet you? Why don't you kneel down when you see the Holy Son now?" Suddenly, a white-clothed female disciple of the Shuiyun Holy Land jumped out, and then she stood behind the Azure Prince, raised her slender finger and pointed at Shangguan Chen, her face was angry, and her voice was extremely sharp and screamed.

This white-clothed female disciple looks quite handsome, and if she doesn't speak, outsiders may think that she is a well-behaved girl like the girl next door, but when she opened her mouth, it immediately changed people's impression.

This is definitely a sharp and mean woman.

"That's right, Shangguan Chen, kneel down!" As soon as the white-clothed female disciple spoke, someone from the other ordinary disciples of the Shuiyun Holy Land suddenly shouted.

"Shangguan Chen, you are just an ordinary disciple of our Shuiyun Holy Land, and Tianqing Gongzi is the Holy Son, ordinary disciples have to kneel and bow after seeing the Holy Son, have you forgotten?"

"You are also the senior among the ordinary disciples of our Shuiyun Holy Land, and you are also the eldest disciple among the ordinary disciples back then, you don't even have this etiquette, right?"

"Get down on your knees quickly. Prostrate. Otherwise. We will report to the elders of the Holy Land, and then punish you for a great crime of disrespect, and let you know that the rules of the Holy Land are strict!"

More ordinary disciples of the Shuiyun Holy Land also shouted, and for a while, the crowd was excited, and the scene was noisy.

Listening to these shouts, Shangguan Chen's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak.

Although these ordinary disciples of the Water Cloud Holy Land were deliberately targeting themselves. It is difficult for themselves, but it is undeniable that what they say is actually true.

The disciples of the Shuiyun Holy Land have four levels: outer disciples, ordinary disciples, elite disciples and holy sons, among which the status of the holy son is the highest, and the remaining third-order disciples must kneel and bow when they see the holy son, and then show respect.

But Shangguan Chen was fundamentally hostile to Tianqing Gongzi. has always regarded Tianqing Gongzi as an enemy, so how can this make Shangguan Chen kneel?

Kneel down and salute your enemies? Shangguan Chen can't do it.

Although Shangguan Chen has always been very calm. A person who does things with the overall situation in mind, but he is also not calm, and there are times when personal emotions overwhelm personal reason, and now is the time when his personal reason is carried away by personal emotions.

The death of his wife Meng Yu is a knot in Shangguan Chen's heart that can never be untied.

However, at this moment, Shangguan Tong behind Shangguan Chen suddenly stood up.

"Dare to ask everyone, does Tianqing Gongzi have an official position now?" Shangguan Tong looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"No!" The female disciple in white was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Shangguan Tong said this, and subconsciously said, and then she wanted to say something after she finished speaking, but was interrupted by Shangguan Tong.

"My father is the city lord of Hongyan City appointed by the Holy Land, and he has a justifiable official position, and according to the official rules of the Holy Land, all the disciples who leave the Holy Land and go to various places to serve as the main officials in each city, responsible for the specific administration and military affairs of each city, and the disciples who have an official position can no longer kneel to any holy son or elder in the Holy Land, just treat it with officialdom etiquette!" Shangguan Tong's voice was not small, she overpowered everyone's voices, looked around at everyone, and said slowly.

"In this case, Tianqing Gongzi does not have an official position now, and my father is added by an official position, so why does my father kneel down and salute Tianqing Gongzi?

Hearing Shangguan Tong's words, all of a sudden, the group of ordinary disciples were all silent, and then their faces were extremely ugly, and they couldn't say a word in their mouths.

Shangguan Tong is right, there is indeed such a rule in the Shuiyun Holy Land, all disciples who have official positions do not need to kneel down and bow to the holy sons and elders of the Holy Land, they only need to be treated with officialdom etiquette.

And the Shuiyun Holy Land made such a rule, also out of many considerations, one is for its own ruling majesty, after all, going out to various cities to serve in important positions in the city, the disciples with official positions are the face of the Holy Land, if they still want to kneel and bow to the arrival of the elders and the Holy Son of the Holy Land in front of the public, they will inevitably lose their own majesty, so that others can't help but despise the Shuiyun Holy Land in their hearts.

The second is to restrain some of the more arrogant elders of the Holy Land, after all, the power of the elders of the Holy Land is already big enough, if they can still suppress the various cities and further expand the power in their hands, then the Holy Land will sooner or later be divided by the elders of the Holy Land to seize power from within.

That's why there is such a rule.

It's just that although there is such a rule, and this rule does work, but its effect is not as good as imagined, not as effective as imagined, most of the disciples of the Shuiyun Holy Land who are in official positions are still busy kneeling and saluting after seeing the elders of the Holy Land and the Holy Son.

After all, they are the disciples of the Shuiyun Holy Land after all, and the elders and holy sons of the Holy Land still have the right to bind them, you can follow this rule without kneeling and saluting, and the other party can't punish you because of this rule, but it is difficult to guarantee that your failure to kneel and salute will not anger the other party, and if you anger the other party, then the other party will always have a way to clean you up.

Therefore, in order not to find themselves unhappy, and also for the sake of their own future in the Holy Land, most of the disciples of the Shuiyun Holy Land who have been appointed as officials simply ignore this rule, and after seeing the elders and holy sons of the Holy Land, they will kneel down and salute one after another to show respect.

At the same time, because of this reason, this rule is rarely mentioned now, if no one says it, I'm afraid everyone present will not remember it, even Shangguan Chen himself has forgotten this rule.

Fortunately, Shangguan Tong used to prefer reading, and had read many classics of the Shuiyun Holy Land, including the official rules and regulations of the Shuiyun Holy Land, so she could remember this rule, and now she said it just to relieve Shangguan Chen.

In the face of Shangguan Tong's questioning, no one dared to respond, and even Tianqing Gongzi himself was silent.

The rules of the Shuiyun Holy Land are very strange, most of the time, I am afraid that few people will take some rules as the same thing, but once these rules are taken out and used in public, then no one dares to openly violate them, because the high-level officials of the Holy Land will inevitably treat it as a very serious matter for the sake of the majesty of the Holy Land and the strict rules of the Holy Land.

Right now, that's exactly what happened!

Although they knew that the binding force of this rule was very limited, no one dared to question it to their faces, because everyone knew that if this matter was spread, then what kind of punishment would be imposed on those who blatantly violated this rule!

Even the Azure Boy didn't dare!

Therefore, today Shangguan Chen does not have to kneel down and salute Tianqing Gongzi, it is no longer a matter of consideration.

As for the future, Shangguan Chen is already an enemy of Tianqing Gongzi, not to mention that there is still Han Wenye, Wang Tianming and others provoking, will Tianqing Gongzi let him go because Shangguan Chen knelt down to him and saluted?

Not at all!

That being the case, now that there is a valid reason not to kneel and prostrate, why bother?

For a moment, there was silence all around.

Among them, some ordinary disciples seemed to raise their eyebrows and opened their mouths to refute something, but they only opened their mouths, and then their expressions suddenly fell, and then they were still speechless after all.

After a long time!

"Since you don't have to kneel and salute, then you don't have to!" Tianqing Gongzi finally spoke again, and then said lightly, "However, Shangguan City Lord, I have to ask a good question!"

"What did you do last night? Who was it? Who gave you the guts? Who dared to kill the Jinpeng Firm, the Linfeng Formation Guild, the He family, the Sun family, the Qing Gang and other forces in the city?"

"You are the city lord of Hongyan City appointed by our Shuiyun Holy Land, and your every move represents the interests and face of our Shuiyun Holy Land, and you, how can you do such a thing? Do you really think that after becoming the city lord of Hongyan City, you will become the earth emperor of Hongyan City, and you can kill and take all the lives in the city?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Huh?"

Tianqing Gongzi suddenly shouted loudly, and the momentum of the superior on his body erupted suddenly, so that the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped below freezing, and there was a powerful coercion on Tianqing Gongzi's body surging out, this powerful coercion was like the top of Mount Tai and pressed down on Shangguan Chen's head, and Shangguan Chen, Zheng Yu, the gray-robed old man and others around him all changed their expressions, and then the whole person couldn't help but bend down deeply.

"Squeak!", "Squeak!", "Squeak!"

In order to straighten their waists, Shangguan Tong and the others worked desperately to fight against this powerful coercion, and the bones of the whole body made a tooth-aching sound because the body was fighting against this powerful coercion.

"Poof!", "Poof!", "Poof!"

Zhang Lao and the others on the side couldn't stand this huge coercion at all because of their low strength, and immediately their knees weakened, and then they knelt down with a pale face, and at the same time their knees collided with the ground, making a dull sound.

"Shangguan Chen, what else do you have to say?" Tianqing Gongzi looked at Shangguan Chen coldly, and said vigorously word by word. (To be continued.) )
