Chapter 1241: Behind the Scenes
At this time, Shangguan Xiaoyao was about to complete the selection arranged by the Gong family for the next heir to the head of the family, and Shangguan Xiaoyao had already completed these four selections, while Gong Ming's brothers stood aside with very ugly faces, it seemed that they had also completed the selection, but they had been suppressed by Shangguan Xiaoyao, and they were almost accompanied by the whole process.
If they hadn't joined forces, they would have been eliminated by Shangguan Xiaoyao long before the selection was over, let alone complete this selection. It's strange that their faces aren't ugly, and they are already thick-skinned when they can stay at the scene.
Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't pay attention to Gong Ming's brothers anymore after he ended, because he found that something seemed to be going on in the Gong family.
The Gong family encountered something, because most of the people came to pay attention to this selection, so the Gong family was a little short of manpower outside, and was taken advantage of by the Qin family and the Wang family.
In fact, it is not considered to take advantage of the situation, after all, the power of the Gong family is still here in the Gong family, but they are all concentrated and not dispersed.
It's just that now it's time for Shangguan Xiaoyao to replace Gong Ming and become the heir of the Gong family, but something happened at this juncture, Shangguan Xiaoyao doesn't have to think about it, he knows that there is a problem here. And a discerning person can see that this is specifically for Shangguan Xiaoyao.
Shangguan Xiaoyao watched with interest, he wanted to see who could make such a big move in the Gong family. As for the matter against himself, Shangguan Xiaoyao has not seen it yet, after all, he is not the real Gong Ming, and for him, becoming the next heir of the Gong family is just a small matter. Shangguan Xiaoyao came to this Soul Land World in the Memory Illusion Realm not to become the heir of the Gong family, but to complete the test in the Memory Illusion and get the memory fragment of the master Tuo Guangzhao.
Other things are not as important as this one thing for Shangguan Xiaoyao. What's more important is that the things or people in this memory illusion cannot become true in the end. Therefore, when Shangguan Xiaoyao finds out that something is happening, most of the time he waits and sees, especially those who involve themselves.
He had to figure out if this was something that developed freely in the memory illusion, and it was used to test him, or if some people behind the scenes in this memory illusion secretly operated and then involved himself. This question must not be understood, after all, there is a big difference in this, and it is also a criterion for Shangguan Xiaoyao to choose countermeasures.
This is also Shangguan Xiaoyao knew that the matter was coming at him, and he did not start acting immediately, but wanted to see what kind of thing it was, or who came to trouble him.
Moreover, this time, Shangguan Xiaoyao himself also had an expectation, that is, he was a powerful chess piece in the hands of the people behind the scenes, but the people behind the scenes always had a purpose, and this purpose was definitely carried out around the Gong family, and he was just a high-level thug.
But now that I've guessed this, it's better to just make a plan, be a high-level thug, and then just wait for things to happen. Shangguan Xiaoyao had already anticipated the selection of the next heir to the head of the Gong family before the opening, and made a little psychological preparation.
Now it seems that as expected, things are really as Shangguan Xiaoyao guessed, someone came to the door, you must know that this is the core of the Gong family, and those who have the courage to come to the door can be how many in this soul land world?
Shangguan Xiaoyao was very interested in this person behind the scenes, and he didn't know how this guy persuaded others to come to the Gong family to make trouble. You must know that the Gong family, as one of the three worlds in the soul land world, is not in vain, these are all and the real strength is played out little by little, if there is a little bit of falsehood in it, the Gong family has long been exposed by other families, and then suppressed.
What's more, among the three major families, there are also the Qin family and the Wang family, these two families are not dry meals, if the Gong family is actually a strong outsider, they are the first to challenge the Gong family. Don't look at the fact that they have always been harmonious before, the well water does not interfere with the river water, but it is only when their strength is equal that they maintain this situation and state of not violating each other on the surface.
I just don't know if there is anyone behind the scenes among the people who found the Gong family this time, or that this person behind the scenes is among these people. According to Shangguan Xiaoyao's speculation, these things are all possible, and they are not nonsense.
The Gong family is also not vegetarian, although most of them have withdrawn from the family, but what is happening now has already been found at the door, how can they not be aware at all.
But Shangguan Xiaoyao did not act rashly, the Gong family will have someone in charge of this matter, even if someone comes to the door, the Gong family is not chaotic at all, how should the selection be carried out, or how to proceed, after all, it is already at the end of the stage, and it is almost time to announce and let Shangguan Xiaoyao become the next heir to the head of the Gong family.
And Gong Ming's brothers were dead, even if there was a little situation outside the Gong family just now, but as the Gong family, they knew that this matter could not be stopped first, unless......
The next heir of the Gong family is not randomly chosen, after all, it is related to the future development of their Gong family. And the most important thing is that what the future head of the Gong family must inherit is their Gong family's inheritance soul beast, only this is the core inheritance of the Gong family, and the core purpose of the Gong family's selection is to find a person who signs a contract for the sealed Gong family's inheritance soul beast, and will also be the head of the Gong family.
It's no wonder that Gong Ming's brothers have a dead face, everything they thought about before couldn't be realized. What worries them the most is that if Shangguan Xiaoyao really becomes the next heir to the head of the family, will they find trouble with them, after all, they have sent people to hunt down Gong Ming before, although the killers are all dead, but the thing has been done, it can't be regarded as if it didn't happen.
Even if they thought that this incident had not happened, but Gong Ming would not think like this, so they felt a little panicked, but they couldn't leave here now, besides, they were Gong family members, where else could they run.
Looking at it like this, they really regard Shangguan Xiaoyao as the real Gong Ming, not a fake. As for why there is such a big gap in Gong Ming's strength, about these things, Gong Ming's brothers are making up for these things, thinking that these things are all deliberate by Gong Ming, first showing weakness to the enemy, and then killing the forces and manpower under them either clean or taking them for their own use.
It's a pity that they really think too much, and Shangguan Xiaoyao doesn't have so much spare time. Even the test he was about to face was not completed, not to mention, there was a guy behind the scenes who was calculating him. So much time came from there and Gong Ming's brothers, so what Gong Ming's brothers were thinking about would not happen at all.
As for the other Gong family members, except for some who need to go out to find out what is going on outside, the other Gong family members are waiting for the next thing after the selection, that is, to announce that Gong Ming is the next heir to the Gong family, and the inheritance soul beast of the Gong family will also be given to Shangguan. It's just that what Gong Ming got was not really a soul beast, but a sealing key that sealed this soul beast.
Shangguan Xiaoyao came here to know that the Gong family still had their own family's inheritance soul beast, and it was still sealed. Shangguan Xiaoyao really didn't know anything about this, let alone Gong Ming would tell him this before.
But now that I know, it's not too late, and I seem to have guessed something from this. I didn't understand why the person behind the scenes kept targeting the Gong family, but now Shangguan Xiaoyao seems to understand a little.
I'm afraid that this person behind the scenes took advantage of the fact that he was exactly the same as Gong Mingchang, and he also had a certain strength, so he chose himself to be his pawn. The purpose is for the Gong family's inheritance soul beast, and I don't know what the Gong family's inheritance soul beast looks like, or what kind of ability it has, and it will be targeted.
It's just that Shangguan Xiaoyao still has a little doubt in his heart, that is, how did the people behind the scenes know that Gong Ming has such a sealed soul beast, and you must know that Shangguan Xiaoyao also just knew from the mouth of the Gong family.
If it weren't for the fact that Gong Ming, who was pretending to be Shangguan Xiaoyao, had been staying outside the Gong family before and had never entered the Gong family, the people of the Gong family would not have explained it. In the same way, Shangguan Xiaoyao would not know these things.
However, Shangguan Xiaoyao always felt that the real Gong Ming knew about the existence of the Gong family's sealed soul beast before, but he just concealed it and didn't tell himself. Shangguan Xiaoyao can be said to be more and more suspicious of the previous Gong Ming, and in the matter of the Gong family's sealing soul beast, Shangguan Xiaoyao has already determined from his heart that the real Gong Ming is definitely not a simple guy, and he may be in the same group as the people who are hiding behind his back and calculating himself.
It's not impossible, it's very likely. Up to now, Shangguan Xiaoyao has experienced so many things himself, and many of them were not told by Gong Ming before and deliberately concealed them, which made Shangguan Xiaoyao doubt everything Gong Ming said to him before he died, and even Gong Ming's death began to have doubts.
Because Gong Ming's body was really gone, he didn't take it seriously before, but simply handed it over to Wang Bohou and them, but it seems that Wang Bohou hasn't done anything to Gong Ming's body, so it's really gone, maybe Wang Bohou and they thought it was Shangguan Xiaoyao who put it away by himself, after all, he was exactly the same guy as Shangguan Xiaoyao. Later, Wang Bohou and the others did not confirm the news to Shangguan Xiaoyao, and Shangguan Xiaoyao thought that Gong Ming's body was disposed of by Wang Bohou and them, but they didn't explain the situation to themselves.
The information asymmetry caused by this made both Shangguan Xiaoyao and Wang Bohou think that Gong Ming's body had been disposed of, so that Gong Ming's body disappeared for so long and there was no news at all. Shangguan Xiaoyao suddenly remembered it now, and felt that Gong Ming, the guy who deceived himself, might even be an illusion of death, specially used to deceive himself.
The purpose is to make himself a powerful Gong Ming, and replace him to go to the Gong family in the boss realm, complete the selection of the so-called successor to the next head of the Gong family, and then let the Gong family take out the key that seals the soul beast of the Gong family's inheritance.
And those movements outside the Gong family must also be arranged behind the scenes. I just don't know what role Gong Ming played in this before, but it is certain that the real Gong Ming is definitely in the same group as the people who have been calculating behind the scenes.
Now Shangguan Xiaoyao wants to know whether the real Gong Ming died before or not, if he didn't die, then whether Gong Ming was also involved in these things after this, after all, with a face that looks exactly the same as himself, Shangguan Xiaoyao is still more worried about this, if Gong Ming is really alive, he doesn't know what he will do, what if he adds difficulty to completing the test of this memory illusion?
And since Shangguan Xiaoyao already had some doubts, it showed that he didn't really believe that Gong Ming was really dead in his heart. It's just a little worried about this matter, not that he's afraid or anything, besides, the strength that Shangguan Xiaoyao can exert now makes him not lose to anyone in this soul land world.
It's just that the bigger the movement outside the Gong family, the rest of the Gong family, who are still in the martial arts arena, have been affected, and it seems that they can't continue, anyway, Shangguan is not in a hurry, and there is no need for it, so just wait.
Shangguan is not in a hurry, but the Gong family is in a hurry, thinking that this is a provocation in the eyes of their Gong family, and they are bound to retaliate. It was announced that the ceremony would not be continued, and almost the entire Gong family was aroused and directly put this matter aside.
There was no need for anyone to summon them, and the Gong family spontaneously left the martial arts arena and went outside the Gong family. And Shangguan Xiaoyao was watching all the time, and there was no superfluous action.
As for the several key figures of the Gong family, that is, a few people like family elders and the like, they did not move, and Gong Ming's brothers did not move, and it was not their turn to interfere in these matters.
And the key that can open the seal of the Gong family's inheritance soul beast is still in the hands of those elders, and it was about to be handed over to Shangguan Xiaoyao, but I didn't expect that someone in their Gong family would dare to come to the door to ask for trouble.
One thing that Shangguan Xiaoyao was puzzled about before was about Gong Ming's father, from entering the Gong family to the present, let alone seeing it, let alone hearing about it from others.
