"This... this is..." Mayor Ge tremblingly stretched out a finger and pointed at the king. His lips were trembling as if being electrocuted, and even his voice became waggish.
Xiao Ting hurriedly replied, "Mayor Ge, this is brother Qin Dong's pet white tiger. I was really shocked when I saw it for the first time."
"Really... really the White Tiger?!" As soon as Xiao Ting finished speaking, Mayor Ge's eyes immediately glowed with a strong light of greed. No matter how scheming and cunning Mayor Ge is, he cannot hide the greed in his heart at this time.
Qin Dong originally felt that Mayor Ge was not very authentic, but when he saw his expression, he sneered in his heart. [
"Dad, if I have this white tiger as a pet, I... I can also be promoted to the Hunting King. Dad!" When he found out that Qin Dong was holding a white tiger in his arms, Mayor Ge's son was even more excited.
Mayor Ge nodded involuntarily and murmured, "Although this white tiger is not a spiritual beast, it is the well-deserved king of beasts and the most ideal pet for a hunter. Looking at the entire Tianyun Empire, even if it is Few hunter kings can capture top-level pets like white tigers. If you are... "
At this point, Mayor Ge suddenly woke up. He turned around and saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him. His heart was shocked. He hurriedly changed the subject and yelled at his son, "You didn't stop laughing." Seriously, this is this brother’s pet! If you want it, go catch it yourself!”
"Dad!" The son raised his voice in disbelief.
Mayor Ge waved his hand and shouted impatiently, "Go away! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." After saying that, he looked at Qin Dong with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically, "Since you are Xiao Ting's Friends, those are our friends in Furong Town. Please be sure to enjoy the banquet tonight!"
Qin Dong didn't want to talk to the father and son named Ge, but he couldn't refute Xiao Ting's face. He nodded and uttered two words: "Thank you!"
Mayor Ge smiled at Qin Dong again, then took his son, who was still cursing, and left quickly.
After the mayor left, the people were persuaded to disperse. Xiao Ting led Qin Dong back to his home.
Xiao Ting's home is not small, and the layout is quite exquisite, but it is not popular and a bit deserted. There is not even a servant to bring tea or water.
Xiao Ting pointed to the slightly messy home and said to Qin Dong with some embarrassment, "I live alone on weekdays and I'm too lazy to clean up, so it's a bit messy. Don't mind, brother!"
This is always the case for a single man's family. If it were Qin Dong, he might not be able to do better than Xiao Ting. He shook his head with a smile and said, "We are all men, I understand! But Brother Xiao, where are your parents? Don't they live here?"
Xiao Ting sighed sadly before replying, "I have no parents and grew up alone."
Seeing the sadness in Xiao Ting's eyes, Qin Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy. He shook his head and asked, "What about sister-in-law?"
Xiao Ting laughed after hearing this, waved his hand and said, "I haven't married yet, where did you get your sister-in-law?"
Qin Dong was surprised and asked, "With your conditions, Brother Xiao, you can choose any kind of woman at will. How come you haven't gotten married yet?"
Xiao Ting curled her lips and said, "What's the good thing about having a family? With so many people nagging around, how can anyone be happy and free? Besides, those in our profession have to deal with ferocious beasts all day long. We don't know when one day our lives will be gone." , wouldn’t it harm others then?”
From Xiao Ting's words, Qin Dong could tell that the first reason why Xiao Ting failed to have a family was just a joke, while the latter one was the main reason.
Although Qin Dong admired Xiao Ting's kindness and integrity, it also made him a little worried. With a character like Xiao Ting, I am afraid that sooner or later he will suffer a big loss at the hands of Ge and his son.
"Brother Qin Dong, it's rare that you and I feel like old friends at the first sight. Why don't you go to the imperial city with me after a while?" Xiao Ting suddenly remembered. [
"Going to the Imperial City? Running for Hunting King?" Qin Dong smiled slightly.
Xiao Ting nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course! With your level of cultivation, choosing a Hunter King is more than enough!"
Qin Dong paused and suddenly asked, "Do you really think that Mayor Ge will let you go to the Imperial City to run for the Hunting King?"
Xiao Ting was stunned when he heard this, and said with confusion, "Why not? Mayor Ge has already announced in public that this matter is final, is there any problem?"
Qin Dong shook his head and frowned and said, "In my opinion, the reason why Mayor Ge made the announcement in public was just because he was forced by the situation, and I'm afraid it was not his true wish. Even if you go to the Imperial City in the end, I'm afraid that Ge The mayor will do everything possible to prevent you from succeeding in the election. You have to know that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain! Now, you are just a hunter, and you have already threatened the Ge family’s position in Furong Town. If you become the hunting king, then the Ge family will How can you continue to stay in Furong Town?"
"Why not? I won't do anything to the Ge family!"
"Haha... A gentleman is magnanimous and magnanimous, and villains have a long-lasting relationship! Even if you are magnanimous, you can't avoid those villains who will judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
Although Qin Dong's words were pertinent, Xiao Ting's face still showed disapproval. Qin Dong sighed softly in his heart, knowing that if he continued talking, it would not have any effect on Xiao Ting, so he had no choice but to give up.
At the same time, Ge Mansion.
"Dad! How could you let Xiao Ting run for Hunting King on behalf of Furong Town?" As soon as he returned to the house, Ge Liang couldn't wait to complain about his father.
When Ge Chunjiang heard this, he became angry and asked, "Is it okay if I don't do that? How many people's eyes are staring at me! If I go back on my word, will I still be able to do my job as the mayor?"
"But… "
"But what? You still have the nerve to blame me! I originally wanted to send you to hunt down the Wolf King, but you were afraid of death and refused! Now that Xiao Ting has done it, what else do you have to say?"
"The Wolf King is so powerful, who would have thought that Xiao Ting could really kill him? If I had known that the Wolf King was so easy to kill, I would have gone!" Ge Liang argued forcefully.
Ge Chunjiang glared at him fiercely, with an expression on his face that he hated iron for failing to become steel, and hating for the failure of children to become useful.
"Dad, Xiao Ting is just a hunter now, and he no longer takes our Ge family seriously. If he really becomes the hunting king, I think you, the mayor, will also be the leader."
Ge Liang's words touched Ge Chunjiang's heart. Ge Chunjiang sneered and said, "Don't worry, even if Xiao Ting goes to the Imperial City, I can guarantee that he won't become the Hunting King. There is no chance of returning to Furong Town!"
Ge Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "So, dad, you are already prepared?"
