Chapter 3451 Why bother to see outsiders?

Manager An was stunned when he was asked the question, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "City Lord, the situation in the inner city is very delicate now. Everyone thinks that City Lord, you have the intention to abdicate in favor of others. I wonder if you really have this plan?"

This issue is not only concerned by Manager An, but also by the entire city lord camp.

If the big city lord wants to abdicate and let the second city lord take over, it can explain his recent inaction and almost Buddhist style of behavior.

However, if the big city lord really wants to do this, he can at least tell his subordinates in advance so that everyone can be mentally prepared.

The great city lord said nothing, not even a hint.

In this way, the situation becomes more delicate. Everyone has various speculations in their hearts, but no one can tell clearly what the big city lord thinks.

"Xiao An, have you forgotten what this city lord said last time?"

After hearing the words of the big city lord, Manager An was also stunned. He remembered that he had a similar conversation with the big city lord last time. In the end, the big city lord actually wanted Su Chen to be his successor.

But, let an alchemy genius be your successor?

During this period, Manager An did not disclose the news to anyone. He even had to take time to digest the news.

At that moment, Manager An had no choice but to change the subject: "Sir City Lord, among the top 100 Sanren in the alchemy competition, the one who topped the list has outstanding alchemy talent. Should we recruit him?"

The great city lord chuckled and said, "No matter how talented this kid is in alchemy, can he be as good as Su Chen?"

"It is still incomparable to Su Chen, but such an alchemy genius is still rare. If we don't get in touch, other forces will not be worthy of such an alchemy genius."

Manager An still wants to maintain the absolute authority of the Great City Lord camp in all aspects.

The big city lord was noncommittal: "Xiao An, calm down. If this person is a man of great wisdom, he will naturally make the wisest choice for him. If he is short-sighted and makes an unwise choice, it proves that he is just There is no use recruiting such people if they have only talent and no wisdom.”

These words made Manager De'an helpless, knowing that the big city lord did not intend to let them take the initiative to recruit.

Manager An had no choice but to ask again: "Lord City Lord, Su Chen is out training, and he doesn't know when he will be back?"

"Generally speaking, he should be back in the near future. However, it is not necessarily true. After all, the outside world is never smooth sailing."

The Great City Lord smiled lightly and said, "When he comes back, I would like to give him a task. When the time comes, tell him for me."

…

Su Chen spent half a month on the road and finally returned to the inner city.

As soon as he entered the inner city, Su Chen felt a fanatical atmosphere. No matter where you go, the crowd is almost always talking about the Main Tower Trial.

Various versions of the rumors are all true. Of course, one of the most popular rumors is that the eldest city lord is getting older and may give way to the second city lord.

Su Chen naturally scoffed at this rumor.

Although the Great City Lord is not young, he is already a mid-level powerhouse in the Transformation Realm, and has already touched the threshold of the high-level Transformation Realm. Such strength is definitely not comparable to old age and frailty.

Those rumors were not so much spread by the civilians in the city, but rather that someone above them deliberately released such news to confuse people.

Su Chen could think with his toes that this must be related to the Second City Lord. Even if it wasn't the order given by the Second City Lord himself, it was done by his group of people.

This kind of rumor satisfies the public's gossip mentality, and is also very lethal to the big city lord.

Of course, rumors are rumors, and everyone is still full of doubts about whether the second city lord can maintain the glory of Halloween City like the big city lord.

Obviously, until now, the Second City Lord has not come up with any convincing means.

Arriving at the gate of the inner city, the guards guarding the gate suddenly became energetic when they saw Su Chen.

"It's the Sultan who's back!"

"It's really him!"

This news spread to the Dan Dou competition site as if it had wings.

The rematch of the alchemy competition is about to begin. The top 100 alchemy geniuses are preparing to determine the best and enter the alchemy area of ​​the main tower.

Hearing the news of Su Chen's return, everyone was shocked and felt a little pity for Su Chen. He couldn't keep up with the alchemy competition.

The Great City Lord's camp also heard the news of Su Chen's return.

"I'll pick up Su Chen." Manager An took the initiative and said.

"I'll go too." The head of the Huangfu family stood up unexpectedly.

"I'll go too." Another head of the Jinying family also said.

It was obvious that Manager An finally revealed the information he received from the Great City Lord to some senior officials in the direct lineage of the Great City Lord. That's why they were so enthusiastic about the news of Su Chen's return.

Su Chen didn't expect that so many big people would come to pick him up, and he even felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"
