In the entire Xia clan, aristocratic families can be roughly divided into five levels.
Third-rate families are generally the current families. They may be said to be very rich, but they generally do not have any martial power. Many rich people who have emerged are generally in this situation.
As for the second-rate families, they are all warrior families with a bit of background. However, such families do not have innate warriors in charge, and those with innate warriors in charge cannot be called a family. They are aristocratic families.
For example, the four major inherited families in the Four Seas Region are all first-class families with innate warriors. Such families are all extremely powerful.
Above the first-class families, there is another kind of family, called the top-class family. The biggest difference between such a family and the first-class families is that there is no family that can compete with them in the same domain.
At the same time, a top family must have at least three innate masters in charge, and only such a family can be called a top family.
For example, the Huangfu family is a top family, while the Dongfang family can only be regarded as a first-class family. Even a top expert like Dongfang Liang, who is at the peak of his innate nature, may even have reached the next level.
Even so, the Dongfang family is just a first-class family. It is normal that the Huangfu family did not take the Dongfang family seriously before. Indeed, the gap between the families is still quite large.
Now when I heard what Dongfang Ming said about the four major families in Jinling, the Li family actually took the lead. This was a bit bullying.
"You mean the hidden Li family?"
Meng Xiaobao frowned slightly.
It has been a while since I came to Longcheng, and I have talked about a lot of things, and I have gained a certain understanding of some well-known families that are not easy to mess with.
Among them are the four hidden families in Jinling, namely Zhao, Li, Liu, and Zhu, and they are four hidden families. Even though the Dongfang family is a great family in the Four Seas Region, but in front of others, they are
Hands can destroy it.
"Yes, it is the hidden Li family, and it is also the Li family passed down from the Tang Dynasty. You must know how deep this kind of family is, so if such a family intervenes, who do you think other families would dare to
Resistance?"
Dongfang Ming glanced at Meng Xiaobao.
"To be honest, if it weren't for this reason, it would not be impossible for Ningyun to marry you. After all, a congenital son-in-law would be a top priority even for the Hidden Family, let alone our Dongfang Family."
"It's just that the current situation is very embarrassing. We can't afford to offend the Li family."
Dongfang Ming shook his head helplessly. This is not a refusal, this is a fact.
In front of the Jinling Li family, the Dongfang family is undoubtedly a piece of meat on the chopping board. Even if the Dongfang family is rampant in the four seas, if they meet the Li family, they can be destroyed without much effort if they want to.
Looking at the other party's attitude, Meng Xiaobao nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean, and I also know how powerful the Li family is, but after all, there should be a rule for everything! It can't be said that your Dongfang family doesn't even have an attitude!
"
"It can't be said that your family set up a martial arts competition to recruit brides, but the old man of the Li family came out to snatch it for his grandson and great-grandson. In that case, your Dongfang family wouldn't look good if word spread about it!"
Meng Xiaobao has actually been thinking about this for a long time. The other party's current attitude is a bit ambiguous. The main reason is probably because the disciple sent by the Li family is probably not a very good thing.
Otherwise, the Dongfang family had already attached themselves to it, how could it be possible that they had told me so many things and nothing, and even though the other party's attitude now seemed to be to persuade me to leave, in fact it was always irritating me.
There is definitely something wrong here.
Meng Xiaobao looked at Dongfang Ming with a faint smile on his face. This smile also contained a hint of ridicule towards Dongfang Ming.
"How about it, Elder Dongfang, do you want to tell me the truth? Are you really here to persuade me to leave today?
Why do I always feel like you mean what you say?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Ming laughed.
"What kind of words are you talking about? What is there to dissuade? I'm just saying a fact. Even if you are innate, you still can't see enough when it comes to the Jinling Li family."
"In the Li family, there are at least two digits or more of innate masters, and there should be masters who have surpassed the innate realm. After all, the Li family is the strongest among the four major families in Aurous Hill."
"So, between you and the Li family, I think there should be a good choice here!"
Dongfang Ming still refused to admit it, and there was even a little bit of disdain in his words.
Seeing that the other party still refused to admit it, Meng Xiaobao felt a little helpless.
"If that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I hope the so-called Jinling Li family can stop me."
Meng Xiaobao doesn't have much fear about this. After all, for him now, just the words of the juniors can't stop him at all. If the elders come, then there will be older ones on his side to talk to him. Here's some logic.
"It seems that you have made up your mind. If this is the case, then I will not say anything more to you. I just hope that you can remember one thing. The Li family is not something that ordinary people can contend with. I hope you can be careful."
After saying that, Dongfang Ming left. Looking at the other person's back, Meng Xiaobao couldn't understand. What does this mean? What does it mean to be careful? Could it be that the other person's strength is also innate?
And, most importantly, does it mean that the other party does not want Dongfang Ningyun to marry the Li family?
Are you here to test your confidence?
If this is the case, does it mean that the Dongfang family is actually having trouble doing both sides now?
On the one hand, there is an urgent need for a powerful family to help. In fact, it is best for such a family to be of similar strength, or slightly stronger. If it is the Li family, will they take this opportunity to directly occupy the Dongfang family...
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaobao seemed to understand...
The next day, early in the morning, all the people who came to participate in the marriage recruitment meeting gathered at the Dongfang family's martial arts field.
There were quite a lot of people coming this time. Meng Xiaobao glanced at it and found that there were probably nearly 400 people. With such a huge number of people, it seemed that many people really wanted to try their luck.
Soon, when the time came, Dongfang Ming came directly from the sky.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
As soon as the innate master appeared on the stage, everyone present stopped.
"First of all, thank you all for coming. Due to the large number of people participating in the recruitment this time, we had to change the schedule. Before the official start, we added a qualifying competition. Please take a look at the big screen."
