The family model of the Jiufang family is different from that of the Xuanqing Sect. In addition to qualifications, the family also uses bloodline as the hierarchy standard.

The general sect recruits talents in the situation of accepting apprentices, while the talents owned by the Jiufang family are produced through marriage and then having children. Children with excellent qualifications and blood relatives will be included in the direct lineage, while those who are weak and have no high-qualification children born all year round will be eliminated from the direct line and become collateral clansmen.

Judging from such a division, it is easy to judge that the direct family naturally has the best resources and the right to speak, and the side family is relatively less than that.

In addition, there is another existence in the Jiufang family with a very embarrassing identity, that is, people with foreign surnames like Wu Dong.

In fact, they are also the bloodline of the Jiufang family, after all, it is impossible for all children in the family to have male babies, right, there will definitely be daughters.

In the Xiuzhen world, the only thing that is relatively fair is gender equality. Where qualifications and strength are highly valued, your gender is secondary. The two monks face off, and the one who survives is the winner, and death has nothing to do with your gender, so the daughters of the Jiufang family naturally also have the right to marry.

The children born to these women who stayed in the powerful marriage of the family naturally could not have the mother's surname, not because of patriarchal power, but because their qualifications did not meet the high standard of having the surname "Jiufang".

As a result, these people with foreign surnames showed their unqualified and low qualifications with extremely conspicuous distinguishing standards, and almost everyone was bullied by the Jiufang surname clan since childhood. But because of his weak strength, he couldn't even resist.

Wu Dong is one of them. But he is fortunate to have a good uncle, although he is not a direct line, but he is in the middle and upper ranks of the side lineage, he is shrewd and likes to manage contacts, and he only has one nephew, so he dragged him to the position of the little steward of this forbidden land, so that he has more channels and resources than ordinary people with foreign surnames.

Usually Wu Dong is low-key, and if his qualifications are not outstanding, he will try to highlight himself in his ability to do things, which is almost the only direction for people with foreign surnames to work together. The Jiufang family was also willing to leave those chores to them to do.

At this moment, he stood at the back, don't look at him cowering, the matter that the chief steward elder confessed to check at the moment has nothing to do with him, but he still listens with 120,000 spirits, thinking, and seeing if it will be related to the forbidden land for some reasons that can't be beaten.

He had been standing for a long time, and the elder steward had acted sternly, but there was no sign that he could follow the clues to find the matter to him, and he was a little relieved. I thought to myself if I should go over tonight, what if the dead girl pestered him to bring something again, this really had never happened in my career, and I wanted to be passive for the first time.

If you don't go, you should be fine. He quietly looked up at a vicious mantis pattern entrenched in the corner of the Shadow Wall on the majestic council hall.

The image of the evil cockroach was exactly the same as the three on the stone hall mark, except for the number and movement, but there was no red dark light in the eyes. One of its paws is prominently depicted, and a pearl is pressed on it.

The pearl may seem unremarkable, but it is the centerpiece of the council hall. It is said that it connects the entire Guardian Array, and once the Guardian Array is attacked, the pearl will fly up from the claws of the evil mantis and be embedded in the zenith of the Council Hall, and the Guardian Array can be controlled by the Patriarch.

This is its function in special cases, but in normal times it is a simple monitoring device. If the red color of the standard disappears, it will automatically spin and make a terrazzo disk-like sound, warning the council elders on duty.

Now in his tenure, this pearl has never rotated, and every elder on duty has praised him.

After Hua Lingyuan's girl came, he was very uneasy, he didn't know how she did things, and he always felt that she was very unclear about her identity. But he also has to admit that she has not had any problems with Biao Jian since she took office, which is the only reason why he can tolerate her forbidden behavior.

For these two reasons, he silently gave himself a vacation for the first time in his heart, and decided to hide tonight and not provoke the girl. Thinking that he withdrew his gaze, he continued to look at his nose and nose, and tried to put away his sense of existence.

But he didn't expect that he hadn't been at ease for long, and suddenly a very light sound of water grinding came from the place where he had just secretly observed.

I am afraid that this kind of voice cannot be heard at all in the ears of mortals, but those present are all monks, so how can hearing be avoided by the sound of urine?

Especially the elder steward who was standing at the top himself, he was closest to the Evil Mantis Pearl at the moment, and almost as soon as the Pearl moved, he heard it, stopped the words in his mouth and turned his head suddenly, looking at the position behind him.

Wu Dong's heart almost stopped, and he only felt like his thoughts were about to explode, and he held up his head and looked at the place with a stirring spirit all over his body.

Mingzhu was actually rotating very unsteadily, and the elder on duty standing in the other direction didn't even react at the first time because the distance was too far. If it weren't for the sound of the pearl turning, the people present would probably not have noticed that it was moving.

Because the rotation of the pearl is to stop a little bit when it rotates a little, and a little bit is really a little bit, but I am afraid that there is not even a distance of two millimeters.

However, if it is turned, it will be turned, and when it turns, it means that there is a problem with the standard in the forbidden land, and when the elder on duty reacted, and when he crossed the elder steward to call Wu Dong, Mingzhu actually returned to normal at this time, and he did not move!

The poor elder on duty even opened his mouth, but he didn't shout those two words out of his throat.

The elder steward walked up to Mingzhu, looked left and right, and felt that this Mingzhu hadn't moved just now. Stretched out his hand and pinched a trick into it, and a super invincible bright red came out of the evil mantle's eyes, almost blinding the eyes of the elder steward.

The elder on duty couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene, he was naturally a person who knew the situation in the forbidden land, and he couldn't help but want to know what happened to the monster, what it had experienced, and it was so resentful! Now the mission disciple in the forbidden land should be new, so powerful?!

Wu Dong was also narrowly pulling back his heart below, and he was also thinking about what was going on just now, did this pearl turn or didn't turn like that just now? Looking at the degree of redness, he felt that he was at a loss when he turned just now.

The elder steward was even more confused, he could hear and see quickly, so he was completely sure that Mingzhu was turning, but it stopped after a small turn, and the display of the standard was surprisingly clear, wasn't it just a breath, and the monster suffered such a big stimulus?
