"Ah, it's Young Master Xiao who is back, go and inform the patriarch!"

As soon as the guards at the gate of the Dongfang family saw Dongfang Xiao, they shouted loudly, even when they were ready to inform the patriarch, that is, Dongfang Xiao's father, Dongfang Fu.

"Go ahead." Dongfang Xiao did not refuse, turned to a few people and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live first." ”

Nodding to one of the guards, the group headed towards the family.

As one of the overlords of Wuyang City, it was naturally very simple for the Dongfang family to find a place to live, but before Dongfang Xiao returned to the room, he saw the guard running over out of breath just now.

"What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?"

The guard froze, took a breath and said, "Young Master, the patriarch invites you and Miss Xue'er to go to the council hall immediately. ”

"Council Hall? Could it be that something is going on in the family? ”

Dongfang Xiao frowned and said to the guard:

"Okay, I've got that, take these two friends of mine to the superior room next to my room."

Immediately, he turned back to Uriel and Shi Jian and said, "I'm sorry, I'll miss me for a while, and I'll send someone to inform you when I come back." ”

Uriel nodded: "It's okay, if there's anything we can help with, you're welcome." ”

"Yes."

Dongfang Xiao nodded to Dongfang Xue, and the two walked in the direction of the conference room.

As soon as he walked to the door of the conference room, he heard the penetrating voice of the second elder:

"What are you afraid of, if you really want to do it, we may not be afraid of the Qian family!"

"Second Elder, I haven't seen you so short-tempered for so long."

Dongfang Xiao pushed open the door of the conference room and said with a smile.

The second elder glanced at Dongfang Xiao: "Who else should I be, it turned out to be you stinky boy, you didn't stay well in the academy, why did you run back to the family?" Could it be that something happened that the academy brought you back kid? ”

Dongfang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "Second Elder, can't you read me?" ”

The Great Elder couldn't look at it, and coughed lightly twice, and the Second Elder also knew that it was not appropriate to say this at the family meeting at this time, so he turned the topic to the matter of the meeting.

"The Qian family wants to trouble my Dongfang family, boy, what do you say I should do?"

Dongfang Xiao was stunned and shook his head: "Although I don't know what happened yet, if someone bullies my Dongfang family, then we don't need to be polite before." ”

The second elder grinned, obviously very satisfied with Dongfang Xiao's answer.

The Great Elder seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and finally spoke:

"Not long after you left the family, we found a magic crystal mine in a piece of farmland belonging to the family, according to our preliminary detection, the quality of this magic crystal mine is very good, and the reserves are also quite large, if it is properly developed, my Dongfang family's income can be increased by half."

"That's a good thing."

Dongfang Xiao nodded and said, although the magic crystal stone does not have much effect on cultivators, it can bring a huge amount of income to the family, and the more income in the family, the stronger it will become.

"Who says it's not, it's just that it just so happens that the territory of this magic crystal mine happens to be close to the territory of the Qian family, and this matter is also known to them, according to the information we have received, it seems that the Qian family wants to seize this magic crystal mine."

The Qian family's Wuyang City is an old family, and its strength is also quite strong. Originally, the Dongfang family was just a small family in Wuyang City, but ten years ago, Dongfang Xiao's father, that is, Dongfang Fu's strength broke through to the level of a spirit general, and the strength of the family was greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness could even compete with the Qian family.

The Qian family naturally would not allow a family to grow under their noses to fight against themselves, but at this time, the Dongfang family has become a general trend, and if there is a war, I am afraid they will not be able to take advantage of it, so there has been no major conflict between the two families.

However, although there is no big conflict, but the small friction is continuous, the Qian family, as an old family, although it may not be too advantageous in terms of combat effectiveness, but the income is close to twice that of the Dongfang family, so in the friction between the two families, the Qian family has always had the upper hand.

If the Dongfang family gets this magic crystal mine, the income will be able to catch up with the Qian family, and the gap between the two families will be reduced in an instant, which is not a good thing for the Qian family, so it is very normal for the Qian family to make such a move.

Of course, this magic crystal mine is more important to the Dongfang family, even if the two really start a war, I am afraid they will not give up easily.

"Compared with high-end combat effectiveness, our Dongfang family is not afraid of their Qian family, but the Qian family seems to have invited a few spirit warrior-level foreign aid recently, if we really fight, I'm afraid our Dongfang family will suffer a big loss."

"That's true."

Dongfang Xiao nodded, although Dongfang Fu is a strong man at the level of a spirit warrior, but the Qian family also has an elder of this level, which is enough to hold him down, at this time, which side has more warriors at the level of spirit warriors, which one will take the initiative.

"If that's the case, we might be able to help."

"You guys?"

The Great Elder smiled bitterly, "The talent of the two of you can be regarded as the strongest in the history of the family, but this time we have to face a strong person at the level of a spirit warrior, if something goes wrong with the two of you, we can't afford to pay this price." ”

"As long as the two of you grow up smoothly, as long as it takes 10 years, our Dongfang family will be able to easily defeat their Qian family, so I think it is very necessary to hibernate for a while."

"yes."

"The Great Elder is right."

"As long as Young Master Xiao and Miss Xue grow up, the Qian family is not a combination at all!"

The words of the Great Elder instantly aroused the approval of many people, the people here are all powerful figures in the family, and they can be said to be the core of the Dongfang family, and their opinions cannot be easily ignored even if they are the patriarchs.

Dongfang Xiao smiled slightly: "The words of the Great Elder are indeed very reasonable, but under the nest, there are no eggs, once our Dongfang family gives up the magic crystal mine this time, then the strength of the Qian family will increase again, you will not be naïve to think that their Qian family will not trouble our Dongfang family in the future, right?" After the strength of the Qian family becomes stronger, I am afraid that the first person to deal with is our Dongfang family! ”
