Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 654 - 55: The Transformation of Tang Wudi_3

Despite the Dragon Eye being able to see that Tang Xian had no Soul Crystal within him, the oppressive aura from the Soul Crystal was still present.

And now, Tang Feiji's feeling had become one of being unable to completely see through Tang Xian.

There are higher tiers of existence in this world, and it was as if Tang Xian had one foot already stepping into them.

...

...

Tang Xian's strength was making leaps and bounds, just as Baichuan City was also changing rapidly.

First was the massive influx of population.

This took place in the first month after Tang Xian left.

The number of these people was around two hundred thousand, all from the Saint Fortress, but when Saint Fortress's reputation plummeted due to Song Que's infamy, a portion of the population chose not to follow Song Que and leave.

Even so, for the Baichuan City of three thousand people, this was still a huge infusion of vitality.

Thankfully, with Li Xiaoyu's efforts, Baichuan City was well-prepared early on.

However, after this, a very serious incident occurred.

Most of those who followed Song Que were subjugated by his charisma and were willing to follow him, but they did not hold Li Xiaoyu in high regard.

After arriving in Baichuan City, this new environment, all duties and power distributions were managed by Li Xiaoyu.

This greatly dissatisfied the newcomers. However, since Song Que did not take any action, they too refrained from doing anything excessive.

But there were inevitably a few people with ulterior motives.

Once the population increased and the pressures of survival were eased, internal strife quickly arose.

Seemingly sensing most people's discontent with a young girl managing Baichuan City, someone began to secretly instigate.

Their intention was to provoke discord between Song Que and Li Xiaoyu.

Even if they couldn't stir up trouble between the two, they aimed to incite conflict among those at the bottom.

Such meddlers have always existed.

They were most commonly seen on the ancient internet, baiting with hooks and lines, yet invariably there were those who were deceived—much like how many people would berate someone under a trending Weibo post, without really understanding what the situation was about.

In half a month's time, rumors had already spread of Li Xiaoyu acting tyrannically and repressing Song Que.

Why should the Li family call the shots inside the Pyramid, and still control everything outside of it? Song Que is the true chosen one.

These statements left Song Que baffled. They also somewhat displeased Li Xiaoyu, not because of Song Que, but because Baichuan City was actually Tang Xian's. This talk made her feel like the other woman, with Song Que appearing to be the rightful spouse.

The situation was akin to the irrational behavior of some celebrities' fans. Like dogs, they would bite on behalf of their idols, attacking one person today and another tomorrow, unaware that the celebrities themselves might be on friendly terms.

Or perhaps that comparison is not quite proper, as well-trained dogs know what they should and shouldn't bite.

Song Que and Li Xiaoyu were not worried; everything was within their expectations.

Tang Xian had predicted this early on: with more people, chaos would ensue—

With a large number of people relocating to Baichuan City, the established order and power within the Pyramid would have surely predicted this segment and would certainly attempt to divide the city from the inside.

But this crisis was resolved quickly, thanks to Ju Mang.

Ju Mang quickly identified those causing trouble, and Li Xiaoyu trusted him entirely.

The facts proved that after Ju Mang acted, the unrest gradually dissipated.

In the end, after living in the city for half a month, everyone gradually began to recognize Li Xiaoyu.

Without Li Xiaoyu, they found they couldn't even beat the ducks outside...

Moreover, the Li family has always had one particular trait because of which people stopped spreading rumors.

They really wanted to continue disparaging Li Xiaoyu, but sorry, what she offered was simply too much.
