Chapter 17: Two major families plotting against the Eastern Kingdom
"Of course! Among the young people of our generation, the strongest one is the little fire god Chi-niang."
Shi Tang, who had just treated the wound on his left arm, also followed suit and praised him.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and looked towards the table next to him.
Dongfang Tianyu was eating at this time and didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, the little girl who had been following him looked dissatisfied.
Under her sister's gaze, Dongfang Qinlan barely suppressed the idea of dueling with the other party and concentrated on eating the rice in the bowl.
"The word 'strongest' is not worthy of it. After all, the Dao League can be called the strongest family. It has always respected the king... and the East."
Although Chi Huo was flattered by Ximen Chuisha and Shi Tang, he did not say too much. But judging from his suppressed tone, he was somewhat unconvinced in his heart.
"I heard that the young master of the Wang Quan family doesn't show up often. It seems that his strength is not very high. Why do you belittle yourself, Brother Chi?"
Although Ximen Chuisha said this to Chi Huo, his eyes were always on the token on Dongfang Tianyu's waist next to him.
That is... the highest level disciple order of Wangquan Villa.
Possessing such a token meant that the other party's strength was at least among the best among this generation of disciples.
The fact that the opponent had just defeated Shi Tang with one move just proved this point.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being called Jade-faced Wind Lord, as he keenly noticed details that no one else noticed.
To his disappointment, the other party did not react at all after hearing all this slander, and continued to eat the food in front of him bite by bite.
Seeing that he had not obtained any useful information, Ximen Chuisha changed the subject:
"As for the Dongfang family, let alone. In this generation, there are only daughters in his family."
"How powerful can a girl's magic be? It's better not to mention this family that has been cut off."
After saying that, Ximen Chuisha chuckled a few times.
But Chi Huo did not agree with him.
"Brother Ximen, you are wrong. I heard that the old Patriarch Dongfang had a fake son, but this fake son had no talent for cultivating fire power and then disappeared."
"And this matter?"
Although Ximen Chuisha heard the news for the first time, he did not show much surprise. At most, it became a topic of conversation among the three of them.
After all, he is just a fake son. No matter what, it cannot change the fact that there is no one in the younger generation of the Dongfang family.
"I seem to have heard this from my elders. It seems that this fake son was stuffed into Wangquan Villa by the old Patriarch Dongfang. So many years have passed, and I don't know if he has returned to the Dongfang family. If he has, will the old Patriarch Dongfang hand over Shenhuoshan Villa to him?"
As the three of them exchanged cups, the topic of conversation became more and more open. Shi Tang, who had just had some friction with Ximen Chuisha, now spoke his mind without any scruples.
"I don't think so."
After drinking a glass of wine, Chi Huo said this in a decisive tone.
"Think about it, if this fake boy is really powerful, why is it that the person in charge of Shenhuoshan Villa is an outer sect disciple?"
"In my opinion, when the old Patriarch Dongfang sent him to Wangquan Villa, he had already decided to give up this fake son."
"Perhaps in the near future, he will marry his daughter to Jin Renfeng and let him take over Shenhuoshan Villa."
Hearing this, Dongfang Tianyu and Dongfang Huaizhu, who had been eating with their heads down, stopped eating with their chopsticks at the same time and looked at each other.
When their eyes met, both of them were shocked, as if they were thieves caught on the spot, and they looked away in panic.
"Your name is Little Vulcan, right?"
While the two were feeling awkward, Dongfang Qinlan had already walked to Chi Huo's side next to her.
"Let's compete to see who will burn whom first. My name is Dongfang Qinlan."
On the other side, Chi Huo looked at the ball of pure Yangyan in Dongfang Qinlan's hand and immediately realized the other party's identity.
"Let's have a competition. The loser goes outside and shouts three times: I am a fire starter!" "How about it? Are you coming?"
Dongfang Qinlan did not give the other party any time to hesitate. While speaking, he shook the Pure Yangyan in his hand.
As if feeling the temperature of the flame in Dongfang Qinlan's hand, Chi Huo finally reacted.
After that, there was a struggle between heaven and man in my heart:
"This... is truly the pure Yangyan of the Demon-killing Divine Fire..."
"Based on the quality of the flame, it is impossible for me to win..."
"But, the other party is just a little girl. Maybe, I can use my strength to overpower her..."
"No... We can't judge the Dongfang family based on common sense. He is so relaxed, he must be confident."
The more he thought about it, the less confident Chi Huo felt in fighting.
But if he doesn't agree, not only will he lose face, but even his family will be implicated.
"Okay little sister, stop messing around."
Just when Chi Huo was in a dilemma, Dongfang Huaizhu stepped in in time to stop Dongfang Qinlan.
"My sister is young and ignorant, please don't be offended."
Dongfang Huaizhu glanced at Chi Huo, whose face was covered in cold sweat. Although he apologized, his expression looked very ugly.
"No, it turns out you are the two Dongfang girls. I didn't know your identities before and I made irresponsible remarks about the Dongfang family. Please forgive me, young ladies."
Chi Huo was also a man who could bend and stretch himself. When the other party gave him a way out, he immediately took advantage of it and said with a smile.
This time, Dongfang Huaizhu ignored the other party and said to the waiter at the counter: "Can you give us three rooms?"
The waiter looked embarrassed after hearing this: "Sorry Miss, we only have two rooms left."
"Is that so? Looks like I can sleep with Brother Tianyu tonight."
Before Dongfang Huaizhu could speak, Dongfang Qinlan blurted out subconsciously.
"Cough cough..."
Dongfang Tianyu, who was drinking water, was almost choked to death by the little girl's words.
"Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"You are not a child anymore. You can't sleep with your brother anymore, okay?"
Noticing the strange gaze coming from behind him, Dongfang Huaizhu shouted harshly.
After he finished speaking, the gazes of Chihuo and the other two returned to normal.
But because of this, they all knew Dongfang Tianyu's identity.
As everyone knows, there is no male in the Dongfang family of this generation, but the two young ladies of the Dongfang family both call him brother.
I didn't expect that he was the adopted son of the Dongfang family.
Defeating Shi Tang with just one move, with such strength, he should not be unknown in the Taoist Alliance.
Could it be that the other party is planning something? So they chose to keep a low profile?
Do you want to take control of Shenhuoshan Villa?
Not only that, he also wants to take over Wangquan Villa!
Ximen Chuisha recalled the scene in which he belittled Young Master Wang Quan at the beginning.
No wonder he wasn't angry, because that was the truth.
This person has been patient for many years, and what he wants is for the two major families of the Taoist Alliance to follow his lead.
