1978. Talks Fall Apart (Part II)
Dongfang Xiong looked at the contemplative elders next to him, with a worried look on his face, Wu Di's strength has far exceeded his expectations, if he really has any thoughts about the Dongfang family, I'm afraid it will really be a catastrophe, but at present, the other party is quite restrained and polite, so what is the matter with the cooperation he said?
"Wu Di, I admit that you now have the strength to negotiate with our Dongfang family, tell me what you think, what is the cooperation you talked about before? If it is really beneficial to our Dongfang family, we don't mind cooperating with you, after all, we also want to revive the prestige of the Dongfang family, as for the threat you mentioned, wait for you to find more accurate evidence, let's discuss it again!"
Wu Di nodded, knowing that he was afraid that with his own words and various speculations, the other party would not gamble on the fate of the family to fight against the unknown threat, so he said: "The way I said cooperation is that I will come forward on behalf of the Dongfang family to clear the opposing forces with the Dongfang family, such as the Ono family!"
"Nonsense!" Before Wu Di's words were finished, an elder in a white robe next to him stood up. "What nonsense, Wu Di, do you want our Dongfang family to be your scapegoat? Patriarch, you have to think about it carefully, the strength of the Ono family is too strong, I think it would be better for me to cooperate with them. ”
Dongfang Xiong was very dissatisfied with this Elder Transmission Gong interrupting Wu Di's words, and his brows furrowed and said, "Then what do you mean?" There was no emotion in his tone, making it impossible to tell whether he supported his opinion or had other ideas.
But this elder couldn't care about these now, he pointed at Bai Lu and said, "We'd better let Bai Lu marry to alleviate the conflict between our two families, so that we don't have to worry about the external environment in the future, and we can concentrate on cultivating disciples, this is a rare opportunity for our Dongfang family!"
"What are you kidding?" As soon as he finished speaking, the two elders stood up, and they glared at him angrily, and said, "Dongfang Liu, what are you talking about? Are you selling your lord for glory? How can we do such a grovel thing to those bastards of the Ono family? Those bastards have killed my brother! How can this great revenge not be avenged?"
And another elder also said: "That is, the reason why our Dongfang family is in the current dangerous situation is completely caused by their Ono family, they even dare to come to the door to propose marriage, I think this is completely underestimating us, I absolutely do not agree to let Bai Lu marry him, even if he marries Wu Di, it is better than them!"
This sudden change made Wu Di also slightly stunned, he carefully observed this elder named Dongfang Liu, this is also the first time he has met him, but the name of this elder he has heard many times before, this is a compromise faction, has always advocated to have a good relationship with other families, especially the Ono family, saying that this is for the sake of the family's great cause.
At first glance, what he said is indeed very reasonable, the Dongfang family urgently needs time to recuperate and cultivate the next generation, but the Ono family will not give them this time, and it is they who have caused the current decline of the Dongfang family, so the elder's mind is a bit worth scrutinizing.
When Bai Lu heard this, he didn't agree, and said loudly: "Grandpa Liu, why do you sound so harsh about this, why do you have to sacrifice me? If sacrificing me can really get the peace of the Dongfang family, it's nothing to do this, but now the purpose of the Ono family is known to everyone, they are going to attack our Dongfang family, why can't you see it? And now it is obvious that Brother Wu Di is a better partner to cooperate with, are you really thinking about the Dongfang family so obsessively? I can't see it!"
Bai Lu's words can be described as sharp, her point of view is obvious, that is, this Dongfang Liu's motives are very suspicious, all the elders looked at each other for a while, obviously having their own ideas, but Dongfang Xiong slapped the table and stood up, and reprimanded loudly: "Nonsense! Do you talk to the elders like this? Guys who don't know how to be polite, blame me for being spoiled by you, if you are released, you must not stab the sky down for me!"
"Then don't let me marry into the Ono family, maybe they will have a worse attitude towards the Dongfang family!" Bai Lu retorted.
"Hmph, since Wu Di doesn't want to marry you, then you must marry to the Ono family, this is something I have thought about carefully, you don't have to work in vain, go back and prepare well, the wedding date is nearby! This has nothing to do with Elder Liu, it is my own idea!" Dongfang Xiong sighed after speaking, and then sat back.
When Bai Lu heard this, she shouted loudly: "Am I going to marry him if I don't even know who the other party is? If he is older than your grandfather, what should I do?
"Child, accept your fate, this is the fate of the children of the big family!" Dongfang Xiong didn't seem to be able to bear it, and said with a sigh.
Bai Lu cried and shook Wu Di's arm and said: "Brother Wu Di, Bi said that he would protect me, right? Now this group of old guys are going to push me into the fire pit, will you see death or not save me? Even if you don't want to marry me, have you forgotten our previous kindness? Don't forget, my first kiss was given to you, and I am already your person!"
Wu Di was originally indignant at Dongfang Xiong's statement, and was very distressed by Bai Lu's tears, but her last words made him a little embarrassed, what do you mean that your first kiss was given to me? You attacked me, okay? But now is not the time to worry about this, he will never allow Bai Lu to marry into the Ono family, so he said coldly: "Bai Lu, don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do, whoever makes it difficult for you must pass my pass first!"
After Wu Di finished speaking, the momentum on his body completely emanated, and all the windows of this inner room suddenly flew out, you must know that they are made of dark iron, specially used to prevent the enemy from sneaking in, and the clothes of the elders are also tightly attached to the body, and the chairs involuntarily retreat to the wall, as if encountering a super tornado, and only Wu Di and a few people on the scene are safe, and the strangest thing is that the nearest Bai Lu has not been affected.
"Wu Di, are you demonstrating? Don't be too presumptuous, this is the Dongfang family, not a place where anyone can act recklessly!" Dongfang Xionghuo stood up, his hands behind his back, his eyes were full of fierce looks, "You can go, the Dongfang family does not welcome people like you!"
