The atmosphere in the study was a little solemn.

Zhong Bowen, who was the head of the Zhong family, sat on a sandalwood chair, looking at the flickering candlelight, his eyes flickering slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

Opposite is his daughter Zhong Lingxuan and his favorite disciple Xiao Hongfei.

"Master, no matter what, this alliance will be beneficial to us. Think about it, the Southern Wilderness is remote, the aura is thin, and without the blessing of blessings, if we continue like this, our Zhong family will decline sooner or later. Then the Liu family also agreed, as long as we agree to join, the territory of the Liu family will be divided into us at that time, and this kind of opportunity is unwanted. ”

Xiao Hongfei said in a deep voice.

Zhong Bowen lightly clasped his fingers on the table, was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Hongfei, don't you think this matter is a little weird?"

"Weird?"

Xiao Hongfei frowned, glanced at Zhong Lingxuan next to him, and was puzzled in his heart.

Zhong Lingxuan also asked suspiciously: "Dad, what's weird?

"It's just a feeling. Xiao Hongfei got up and said lightly, "Although our eight major families in the Southern Wilderness have the idea of marching into the Central Plains, most of them are not in harmony with each other, and it is impossible to unite together. However, this time, except for us and the Xu family, everyone else secretly united together without knowing it, something was wrong, something was wrong. ”

Zhong Lingxuan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Dad, the Liu family also said before, there is a mysterious person with great ability behind him who is trying his best to match us. This attack on the Central Plains must have something to do with this person. ”

"That's what I'm worried about. Zhong Bowen sighed, "It's because I don't know the origin of this mysterious person that I can't make a decision." ”

"Master, are you worried that we will be taken advantage of? Xiao Hongfei asked.

Zhong Bowen nodded: "This is only one aspect, if that mysterious person has ill intentions and the purpose is simply to provoke civil strife in our ancient martial arts world, we must consider it carefully." ”

"But Master, if we refuse the alliance, the other families will inevitably isolate our Zhong family, and the situation will be even less optimistic. ”

Xiao Hongfei's tone was helpless.

It is precisely because the eight major families of the Southern Wilderness contain each other that they can live together on this land and be safe with each other. If this balance is upset, the consequences will be unimaginable.

On the side, Zhong Lingxuan also echoed: "Dad, what Senior Brother said is right. After all, our Zhong family is a member of the Southern Wilderness, and if we don't form an alliance with them, we won't have a good time in the future. ”

"Yes, Master, why don't we form an alliance first and then see how it goes. ”

In the face of the persuasion of his daughter and apprentice, Zhong Bowen did not respond anything, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip gently.

After a while, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Five days later, it will be the fiftieth birthday of Xu Jianglong, the head of the Xu family, you two should go and visit." ”

Zhong Lingxuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Daddy mean, let's test the reaction of the Xu family first?"

Zhong Bowen nodded and said: "Among the eight major families, only our Zhong family and the Xu family have not agreed to form an alliance, but no one knows what the attitude of the Xu family is, so you might as well test it first, I believe that the head of the Xu family will give you a hint." ”

"Got it, Dad. Zhong Lingxuan tapped her head.

"Also, if you really want to form an alliance, I will let the two of you marry before forming an alliance. Zhong Bowen said suddenly.

"Huh?"

Zhong Lingxuan didn't expect her father to suddenly mention this, her pretty face turned red and turned into a persimmon, she secretly glanced at Xiao Hongfei, and twisted: "Dad, let's get down to business, what are you doing here." ”

Zhong Bowen smiled: "This is the right thing, if we attack the Central Plains region, it will inevitably cause bloody rain, and then everyone's life and death will be on the line." If I'm not there, let Hongfei take care of you. ”

"Daddy, don't say this kind of thing in the future, you'll be fine. Zhong Lingxuan's eyes were ruddy, and she said with disgust.

"Master. Xiao Hongfei knelt on the ground violently, and said in a firm tone, "Please rest assured, no matter what, I will take care of Xuan'er and will not let her be hurt a little." ”

“……”

——

Outside the study, Qin Yang fell into deep thought.

I have been lurking for a long time, but I have never heard the information I wanted, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, listening to Zhong Bowen's tone, there is indeed someone behind this. It also made Qin Yang believe that this time the Southern Wilderness Family's attack on the Central Plains region, the people of the Demon God Realm of the Wa Kingdom must have participated in it.

Maybe they took control of the Liu family or the Lan family, and then forced the other families to submit in the way of lures and threats.

In short, the situation is not optimistic.

Qin Yang listened for a while, but didn't hear any useful information, and quietly left the inner courtyard.

Back in the dormitory, Zhao Panshu was practicing.

I saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands casually resting on his crossed knees. His chest rose and fell with slow breathing.

In his right hand, he was holding a lower-grade spirit stone, absorbing spiritual energy.

"This kid's talent is too poor, and if he has the opportunity to give him a better exercise, maybe he will achieve something in such a hard-working face. ”

Qin Yang shook his head, didn't bother the other party, and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

——

The next day, Qin Yang was still dreaming in the bed, and was woken up by Zhao Fatshu.

"Brother Yang, hurry up, eldest lady, they're leaving. ”

Zhao Fatshu urged.

Qin Yang looked up at the sky outside the window, and found that the sky was just cloudy, and couldn't help muttering: "Damn, it's just a hunt, is it necessary to be so early?"

"Don't complain, let's go. ”

Zhao Fatshu threw the towel and toothbrush to him, and hurriedly went to fetch hot water.

After a simple scrubbing, the two came to the gate of the compound and found that Zhong Lingxuan and they were already waiting there.

Perhaps for the convenience of hunting, Zhong Lingxuan wore a purple-black power suit, outlining a slender waist and long legs with beautiful lines, which made Qin Yang can't help but reminisce about the scene the night before.

Next to him was Xiao Hongfei, whose handsome face still maintained a charming smile, and looked at Zhong Lingxuan with tender eyes from time to time.

Behind them was Li Chengdong, waiting respectfully, nodding and smiling after seeing Qin Yang and Zhao Fatshu, it was a greeting. Zhao Fatshu snorted coldly and ignored it.

"Why are you two so rubbing, waiting for you for a long time!"

Wang Protector was dissatisfied.

If it hadn't been for Qin Yang's last time, he would have changed to someone else.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ......" Zhao Fatshu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, bowed again and again, and sneered, "I was too late to practice last night, and I accidentally got up late." ”

"Alright, let's go. Zhong Lingxuan said impatiently.

Her beautiful eyes swept over Qin Yang's body, and she didn't stop at all.

Wang Protector took out a storage ring and handed it to Qin Yang, and said lightly: "This is a prop for arranging the trapped beast formation, the way to use it is very simple, there is a record in it, if you don't understand, you can ask the eldest lady." Be careful, don't break it. ”

"Yes. ”

Qin Yang took the storage ring and nodded, a gleam appeared in his eyes.

Today, let's start tackling this eldest lady!
