Xu Mingxi reported the Third Elder's name and was guided in. He finally met Yuan Ting, the good brother and good companion mentioned by the Third Elder.
He was kindly pulled to sit by the man in front of her who had long black hair, an androgynous appearance, and even a loud and gentle voice.
"I didn't expect Ah Hao to have such a handsome younger generation. Tell me, is there anything my Yuan family can help with?"
Yuan Ting and the third elder Xu Chunhao traveled together in the mainland for a long time when they were young.
The two had a close personal relationship, and Yuan Ting also knew that the other party was from a remote large sect. After not meeting for many years, the letter he sent said that he had broken through to the Soul Douluo level.
He knew what Xu Chunhao meant, but the situation in the mainland was so chaotic that even the reclusive sect couldn't stand it anymore.
"Grandpa Yuan, I wonder if you know this place called Jueyunjian."
Yuan Ting naturally knew that, and he was very clear that this was a hot topic among the top leaders in Dongji City recently.
There were no impenetrable walls in the Douluo Continent, and when there were too many people, they tended to talk too much.
This adventuring group formed by the two brothers of the Chen family had more than ten members, and not everyone could keep secrets.
However, Xu Mingxi had just arrived and he integrated in Dongji City so quickly that Yuan Ting had to praise him as a socialite.
"Looks like Grandpa Yuan knows about it. I came here this time, first of all, to visit you on behalf of the elders, and secondly, to invite the Yuan family to join this group of adventurers."
When Yuan Ting heard this, he was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to destroy the neutral situation he had worked so hard to maintain with just one sentence?
No matter how good his relationship with Xu Chunhao was, as the head of the family, he wouldn't drag the family into trouble.
"This is just an adventure. My Yuan family will not participate."
"Grandpa Yuan, the Mo family has attacked the Chen family head's daughter. What do you think they'll do to the Yuan family if they win?"
Although Chen Mingxi didn't know who attacked Chen Qinghuang, it didn't make any sense and didn't make any noise.
Even if they don't do it, as long as they can't speak, then it must be done.
Yuan Ting frowned, he knew that the Chen family's youngest daughter had been attacked.
However, did the Mo family do it? How come he didn't know? There was no movement from the Chen family either.
She couldn't prove that Xu Mingxi's words were true, but she also couldn't prove that his words were false.
What's more, on weekdays, the Mo family was indeed more arrogant and domineering, sometimes even bullying the Yuan family.
If Yuan Ting had to choose, she would indeed slightly prefer the Chen family, but the balance was more in favor of the Yuan family.
Seeing the former family head wavering, Xu Mingxi struck while the iron was hot. If he missed this opportunity, he might never get it again.
"Grandpa Yuan, I just quit the adventurer group. Many people saw me on my way to Yuan Mansion."
Yuan Ting frowned. Is this how it's played?
"Well, you did it on purpose, but you're too naive to force my Yuan family onto the ship."
A black shadow flashed in the hall, and a middle-aged man wearing a black soul master robe appeared.
The shadow of an earth dragon appeared on his body, and eight soul rings hung behind him. None other than the Yuan family priest, Mr. Chen.
Xu Mingxi wasn't worried at all because someone was already standing in front of him.
The former family head and worshipper felt the pressure emanating from the masked man before him, and broke out in a cold sweat. Mr. Chen instantly took back his martial spirit.
The masked man disappeared, but Yuan Ting no longer dared to look down on Xu Mingxi.
"Our Yuan family has accepted your invitation. Please come and pick him up the day after tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Patriarch. The Star Crown Sect will never forget the Yuan family's contribution."
Let's hope so.
Yuan Ting watched Xu Mingxi leave and could only pray for her family's future.
That's how weak people are. They can only be manipulated by the strong. The Yuan family was one of the five big families in Dongji City, but it was just a bigger ant in the mainland.
He originally thought that the three sects in Heaven Dou Empire were in turmoil, while Star Luo Empire's royal family was the only dominant one and the situation would stabilize.
I didn't expect that some major families had already started making plans. I hope this chaos won't affect the Yuan family.
Xu Mingxi didn't know what the original family head was thinking. He was explaining it to his grandfather at home.
Xu Chunyi looked at his grandson in front of him and frowned for the first time.
"Mingxi, why are you doing this? The sect didn't teach you to get involved in the fighting on this continent."
"Grandfather, this continent is in turmoil and the Spirit Hall is ambitious. Only by mastering greater power can we protect ourselves in the coming chaos."
Xu Chunyi didn't know what the future held, especially since Xu Mingxi had the idea of uniting the continent in his mind.
The Yuan family was weak, but they had good relations with the Star Crown Sect, so this time it wouldn't be a big deal. What's more, taking this opportunity to bring the Yuan family and even half of Dongji City's army into the battle might be a good thing.
He only hoped that his grandson would put the interests of the Star Crown Sect as a whole first and not seek out enemies at will.
"I will report the truth to the sect leader."
The matter ended here, and the grandfather and grandson returned to normal. The grand elder disappeared into the darkness, while Xu Mingxi lay on the bed and began to ponder.
Was I really too impatient? Yet time actually waited for no one. After the Haotian Sect closes its mountain, the world will belong to the Spirit Hall. At that time, it will be more difficult to mobilize all parties.
For ambitious people, only the turbulent Douluo Continent was the best Douluo Continent.
All the major families in Dongji City, and even the City Lord's Palace, had spies outside. The news that Xu Mingxi left the adventuring group and went straight to the Yuan family had already made its way to the table of the main force leaders.
Dongji City was destined to not be peaceful tonight.
...
Two days later, all five members of the adventuring group who participated in the trip to Jueyunjian gathered at the city gate, accompanied by two Soul Saints from both families.
They looked at Yuan Qing who was walking beside Xu Mingxi in shock. They hadn't expected that they could actually drag the Yuan family along.
Although they all knew yesterday that Xu Mingxi went to the Yuan family, visiting and dragging people to a Jueyunjian trip were two different concepts.
Would the Yuan family take sides?
The group of nine boarded the train and headed for Jueyunjian, feeling relaxed and comfortable. However, it was not easy for the heads of the big families in the city.
In the Mo family's living room, the Mo family patriarch sat on a chair sipping tea, while the Zhao family patriarch walked back and forth anxiously.
"Old man Mo, stop drinking. What do you think happened to the Yuan family? They haven't shown up for a long time, but now they're showing up again."
"Don't worry. Regarding this matter, this Xu Mingxi is most likely the son of a family. He must be from a prominent family. Based on my understanding of Yuan Ting's old fox, he must have provided great benefits, or else he couldn't afford to offend Xu Mingxi."
The Mo family head directly ordered the group of assassins to retreat. A powerful dragon had come, so why should he, a local snake, relent?
There was still a long way to go. After all, the City Lord's Mansion was still there. Who said these five families had to be enemies?
