Chapter 205: Factional Struggle
>οΌοΌ
Qing Ming lowered her head, when she saw that Qing Ming was defeated by Luo Feng, she was very ashamed, and her mood was not very good, this would be up to Luo Feng to leave, after reacting, she immediately chased out, but Luo Feng's figure was gone, and she couldn't find it anywhere nearby, so she went back to the Grand Duke's Mansion first.
Grand Duke Qingbai quickly understood her thoughts, and her voice softened: "Qingming, I know that Ash Yan being defeated by Luo Feng will make you very uncomfortable, but you have to think about it from another angle, Luo Feng has those peerless powerhouses who jointly created it, and the more powerful the world is, the more Ash Yan is not very ashamed." β
After receiving his comfort, Qing Ming's heart felt a little more comfortable: "Well, father, you are right. β
Grand Duke Qingbai's face became serious: "Also, my daughter, there is another thing, you must confess to me." β
"What's the matter. β
"Are you, you've always had a secret meeting with Ash. β
"This ......" Qing Ming's words flickered, "No, father." β
Her thoughts, where can she deceive the treacherous and cunning Grand Duke Qingbai.
In fact, the battle between Ash Yan and Luo Feng will definitely not be a coincidence.
On the Chaoyang, an industry controlled by the Gray Wood family, the host just chose Luo Feng as his opponent, needless to say that it was a deliberately set game.
Grand Duke Qingbai's tone became stern: "Qing Ming, forget about the past, but, from now on, the overall situation is important, you really can't have anything to do with Ash Yan for the time being, otherwise, I will ban you from doing anything in the future." β
Qing Ming hurriedly said, "My daughter won't." β
"That's pretty much it, and, Qing Ming, you must use all your thoughts, and when necessary, you can even sacrifice a little beauty to conquer Luo Feng, let him die to the ground, and take out the wealth and mystery left by those powerhouses, I don't allow any unexpected accidents, my daughter, you know." β
"Yes, father. β
"Okay, now, let's go find Luo Feng first. β
Leaving the study, Qingbai Dagong wanted to send his subordinates to the city to find people, but at this time, Luo Feng walked into the inner mansion.
Seeing him, Grand Duke Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief, smiled as if he didn't know anything, and greeted him and said, "Luo Feng, didn't you and Qingming go to see the Lantern Festival Carnival, why did you come back so late, it makes me a little worried." β
While speaking, he also looked at Luo Feng, but he didn't show anything, because Luo Feng had already dried his wet clothes with his fighting spirit.
Looking at Grand Duke Qingbai's nervousness, it seems that the mysterious master who helped me suppress Jin Douqi was not the person he sent to secretly follow me.
It's strange, who could it be.
Except for Grand Duke Qingbai and Qing Ming, I don't know anyone else in Wanlin City.
Oh, by the way, there are also Auve and Ness, but it definitely won't be them, although Auve is also a rich lady, but her family background must be very limited, otherwise she wouldn't be separated from the mercenary guards when she went out to talk about business, such a master, she couldn't move.
Luo Feng ruled out one possibility after another, and in the end he couldn't think of who it was.
"Grand Duke Qingbai, I'm sorry. Luo Feng said apologetically: "Miss Qingming took me to an event, but I didn't like it very much, so I took the first step and walked around the city, but Miss Qingming seemed to be in a good mood, so I didn't call her, ah, Miss Qingming, you are also back." β
Since that mysterious master was not sent by Grand Duke Qingbai, Luo Feng would not tell him about himself.
Qing Ming was a little unnatural: "Yes, after you left, I didn't have the heart to go, so I followed the back foot, but the people in the casino called me and said that you asked me to collect the bonus on my behalf, so I dragged it for a while, and then I couldn't find you." β
Grand Duke Qingbai reprimanded: "Qingming, how can you leave Luo Feng alone in the Lantern Festival Carnival, this is really rude." β
Luo Feng hurriedly said: "No, Grand Duke Qingbai, this is not about Miss Qingming, I wanted to walk around by myself, in fact, it doesn't matter, anyway, now I am a little familiar with Wanlin City, and I can recognize the way back by myself." β
"Okay, Luo Feng, since you're fine, I still have some things, let's go first, you can talk first." When Grand Duke Qingbai left, he also gave Qing Ming a look and signaled her to seize the opportunity.
Qing Ming didn't speak, Luo Feng had already taken the initiative to speak: "Miss Qing Ming, tonight, thank you really much." β
Qing Ming knew what he meant, and Luo Feng was referring to what she encouraged him during the battle with Shen Yan.
Originally, he colluded with Ash Yan to humiliate Luo Feng well, so that the lover could vent his anger, and then he could take the opportunity to comfort Luo Feng, but in the end, it turned out to be this result.
Although the purpose of testing Luo Feng was achieved, Qing Ming was a little dumb and depressed, and said with a forced smile: "You are my father's distinguished guest and my good friend, this is how it should be." β
Nodding at her, Luo Feng said, "It's not too early, Miss Qingming, you should rest early." β
This time, Luo Feng didn't send Qing Ming, because he still needed to go back to the room as soon as possible and continue to use his skills to regulate his fighting spirit to ensure that it was more stable.
Seeing Luo Feng's back go away, the smile on Qing Ming's face retracted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Okay, I'll listen to my father's words first, be wronged, get the secret out of this kid, and then kill him, and take this breath for Brother Gray Yan.
The defeat of the young master of Ash Wood by a human race caused a lot of turmoil in the aristocratic circle of Wanlin City, and the Ash Wood family was also impacted.
The Greywood Family, in the Presbyterian Church.
The atmosphere was very stiff, and the faces of all the respected family elders were a little ugly, because the gray wood family had just suffered a disgrace.
Ash Yan stood in front of the long hair, and his heart was very uneasy.
When he lost to Luo Feng, he realized that he would definitely be summoned by the Council of Elders to criticize him.
An elder's face was as cold as water, and his voice was not emotional: "Very good, Gray Yan, it seems that your wings are already stiff, and you dare to let the Chaoyang to help you do things without permission, you are already very patriarchal, I am really happy for you." β
Naturally, it is the opposite, this elder is called Gray Yuan, he is the most powerful of the elders, and he has the deepest qualifications, he sent a few words, and a few words from the other elders, when Gray Yan was able to become a young master, the fair and selfless Elder Gray Yuan can be said to be a great meritorious.
However, this elder is also the most severe.
Because Ash Yan usually behaves very well, motivated, and powerful, he usually doesn't say anything, but now Ash Yuan is obviously angry.
Ash Yan's heart trembled, the only thing he could do at this time was not to quibble, but to sincerely admit his mistakes and strive to win the forgiveness of the elders: "I'm sorry, Elder Gray Yuan, I will never do it again next time." β
Another elder sneered: "Ash Yan, you said it easily, do you know, now Wanlin City is spreading everywhere, the young master of the dignified Ash Wood family, even the human race can't win, before the start of the fight, what do you say if you don't win within fifty moves, even if you lose, in the end, it is to the referee to come to the rescue, otherwise you will almost lose your life, let alone you, the Ash Wood family has also become a joke, others still think that our Ash Wood family is withering, and we don't even have to find a decent young master, alas, what should I say." β
This elder is called Ash Hong, he didn't say anything back, but directly accused Ash Yan, and it was hard to hear, the implication was that Ash Yan was not worthy of being the young master of the family at all, and he was even more ruthless than Ash Yuan, because Ash Hong was one of the opponents who did not support Ash Yan as the young master, and he preferred the son of the current patriarch, Ash Ke.
Many big families, there will be factional struggles within the clan, the patriarch is not a person in the clan who covers the sky with one hand, and is also restricted by members of the clan with a status such as the elder group, the elder group can supervise what the patriarch does, if the patriarch does something wrong, he can come forward to correct it, if he makes a very serious mistake, he can even be removed by convening a whole clan meeting, and some major events that have an extremely important impact on the future of the family are also directly operated by the elder group, such as the election of the young head of the family, and even the patriarch has no right to interfereγ
The same is true of the Ash Wood family, so although the current patriarch Ash Zha also has a son named Ash Ke, however, he has no way to directly appoint Ash Ke as the young head of the family.
Although Ash Ke's talent and mind are also very good, it is still a little worse than Ash Yan, and in the end, the elder group passed a resolution, and most of the people supported Ash Yan and pushed him to the position of the young master.
However, the others who supported Ash Ke were naturally unwilling, because the young master's candidate was not unchangeable, so they always stared at Ash Yan, hoping that he would make a big mistake and disappoint the elders and clansmen, so they chose Ash Ke again, and now that they have found an opportunity, they are naturally going to fall into the well.
Another opposition elder said, "Ash Yan, I heard that you and Qing Ming, the daughter of Grand Duke Qingbai, are very close. β
This sentence seems to be said casually, but it contains a lot of information.
Since the Purple Wood Imperial Family replaced the Aoki family and became the ruler of the Wood family for thousands of years, the relationship with the former imperial family, the Aoki family has always been more delicate.
On the one hand, the emperors of the Zimu Imperial Family have always been broad-minded, and on the other hand, they are afraid of the deep-rooted influence of the Aoki family in the Mu family, so they have never touched the Aoki family, nor have they deliberately excluded them, giving them enough respect.
Some patriarchs in the Aoki family also accept the fact that they are no longer the lord of the Wood Clan, and are satisfied that they can still have such a high status and status in the Wood Clan, without any dissent, but there are also some patriarchs, but they are not willing, and have been trying to restore, and the Grand Duke of Qingbai is one of the people with great ambitions, although he is well disguised, low-key, and indifferent, but the elders of the Ash Wood family are still aware of his ambition.
In place of the Aoki family, the Zimu royal family has produced many talents, and generations of Mingjun have emerged, gradually gaining the hearts of the people, and now it is in full swing, and the status is difficult to shake, so the gray wood family wisely determined its position, and showed a very cold attitude towards the Qingbai Grand Duke's intentional or unintentional wooing, and did not want the members of the family to have too much contact with the people of the Aoki family.
Therefore, as the young master, Ash Yan has never had a public relationship with Qing Ming, and it is also out of this scruple that now, he was blown out by this elder named Ash Le, and his face suddenly changed.
