Dongfang Huai said calmly: "I don't know the reason either. The Weidao Palace where Brother Lin is located is completely different from the family power like ours.
Maybe some of Brother Lin's elders will give explanations when they don't allow Brother Lin to do something.
As for a family like ours, the first family rule is to strictly abide by the orders of our elders and don’t ask too many questions and don’t talk too much.”
Murong Ying nodded aside and said that the same was true for the Murong family, but compared to the strict rules of the Dongfang family, the Murong family was much more relaxed, but there was only one order, which was also the order of the elders. Just obey it.
That’s it.
Huangfu Lingyun also regained his composure at this time, snorted coldly: "Brother Lin, there is no need to ask for me anymore, I know the reason myself."
However, seeing that Huangfu Lingyun had no intention of continuing, Lin Mo ended the topic at the right time.
Then he talked with Dongfang Huai and Murong Ying about the past meeting in Jinyang City that day, and by the way started to exchange some recent things that happened in the Damo territory.
But the conversation didn't last long, and Lin Mo could clearly feel that there was indeed a clear feeling of unfamiliarity between the two parties.
Even though Murong Ying didn't speak much, the way he looked at him would express a kind of distant respect.
In this case, Lin Mo went straight to the topic and said: "Brother Dongfang, tell me about the details of the martial arts competition and the big forces that are coming to participate in it, so that I can prepare in advance."
Dongfang Huai nodded and said: "First of all, the stage for the martial arts competition is not in the Dongfang Family, but at the foot of a mountain not far away. Our Dongfang family has set up the stage three months in advance.
At that time, a large number of tribesmen and some guests will be dispatched to guard the surrounding area. After all, there will be many young people coming from powerful forces, and the family owner is also afraid of any accidents.
So Brother Lin, in the chaos you want to cause, it's best to involve all the candidates present who are participating in the competition to recruit a bride. Only in this way can I have a chance.
As for the major forces participating, I don't know many. It seems that only the Wanliu Chamber of Commerce in the Damo territory will definitely send people.
In addition, there is a rumor that the Little Evil King Jian Wenqing and Tianjue Sword Hu Ling will both be there.
I'm not sure about this, after all, my status in the Dongfang family is not high, and I don't dare to pry out or do anything too extreme at this time.
Then there are some small and medium-sized forces in the Great Mo Territory, and they have many young disciples coming."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, looked at Dongfang Huai seriously and said, "Brother Dongfang, do you think this martial arts competition is simply about making friends through martial arts, and the winner will marry your sister? Has anything similar happened to the Dongfang family before?
"
Dongfang Huai said with an ugly face: "Similar things have never happened before, but there have been some worse situations.
My Dongfang family does not value women, and sometimes they even use them as a tool to win over the strong.
To be honest, the martial arts competition is quite good, at least my sister will not be married to some old man for no reason.
But as far as I know before, my sister seemed to have a crush on her. This time, after learning about the competition to recruit a bride, she even committed suicide several times. That is, I found an opportunity before and promised my sister that I would take her with her.
She escaped from the Eastern family.
My sister has not done anything to harm herself recently."
Lin Mo took this opportunity to exchange glances with Huangfu Lingyun. When Huangfu Lingyun looked at Dongfang Huai again, his eyes revealed an incomprehensible pity.
Lin Mo thought for a while and then asked: "Brother Dongfang, I remembered that when we were in Jinyang City, you had an older brother who was also on the list of people at that time. He seemed to be called Dongfang Yun, right? If you think so, then you
His sister Dongfang Yan should also be his sister."
Dongfang Huai's expression became even more ugly when he mentioned it, and there seemed to be a flash of hatred deep in his eyes: "Brother Lin, there is almost no family affection in aristocratic families. The person I originally married in this competition was not my sister, but it was Dongfang Yun's suggestion.
, only then did the target change to my sister.
The competition between the various branches of the family is very fierce. Recently, my lineage has been oppressed by the other lineage, so I guess Dongfang Yun wants to use martial arts competitions to recruit relatives to bring my lineage back into the sight of the clan elders. This is the only way.
Only then can we attract the family’s attention.”
Lin Mo frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. However, when he looked at Huangfu Lingyun, he saw him shaking his head slightly, and his eyes looking at Dongfang Huai were full of intriguing implications.
Afterwards, everything that should be known was pretty much known. Dongfang Huai arranged for Lin Mo and the others to live temporarily in a separate courtyard, and then he and Murong Ying left first. After all, he still had to make more preparations regarding the retreat route.
After the two people left, Huangfu Lingyun on the side said: "Lin Mo, I now understand what you said at that time, the reason why two people can no longer be friends after their different strength and status.
When I heard what Dongfang Huai said just now, all I could feel was childish.
I'm sure that the candidates for this competition must have been pre-decided, and it will only take advantage of this competition to deepen the relationship between the two forces.
There is also something about Dongfang Yun. I have also been in contact with this man. He is quite generous. In my opinion, Dongfang Yun probably wants to use this opportunity to let his sister marry better.
After all, a marriage contest is a glamorous marriage, and it is a marriage completed in the eyes of all the major forces.
This also represents a kind of guarantee.
Thinking about the women from the Dongfang family in the past, if the candidate for this competition is not Dongfang Shuang, then sooner or later, she will probably be sent to the bed of a powerful person for no apparent reason."
After Lin Mo pondered for a moment, he looked at Huangfu Lingyun and said, "The intelligence department should have investigated a lot of information about the Dongfang family during this period.
There were some questions that were not suitable to ask Dongfang Huai just now. What I want to know now is how many members of the Dongfang family who are above the realm of the unity of man and nature will appear during the martial arts competition."
Huangfu Lingyun had already prepared for this: "First of all, the head of the Dongfang Family, ranked twenty-first on the Earth Ranking, is at the early stage of the Zhenwu Realm, and is nicknamed Dongfang Ye, the Fudo Ming King.
Then there are the five elders of the Dongfang family, who are known as the pillars of the Dongfang family. Their cultivation level is between the middle and late stages of the realm of unity between man and nature.
Finally, there is one person, second only to the Five Elders of Dongfang, whose cultivation level is in the middle stage of the unity of man and nature, and who is ranked fifty-fifth on the Earth Ranking, Dongfang Feng, nicknamed Nu Shanhe."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said: "Fifty-fifth on the Earth Ranking? It happens to be stuck between me and Leng Chuluo's ranking on the Earth Ranking. This should be the target that Jian Wenqing wants to challenge.
So, besides what Dongfang Huai said about the big forces coming to participate this time, do you have anything to add?"
Huangfu Lingyun took out a stack of papers from the space equipment, flipped through it, and said: "According to external intelligence investigations, there may be two more forces appearing, one is the Great Mo Dynasty, and the other is the Huaiyin Sword Pavilion."
