Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 32 The Yuan family enters the game

Xu Mingxi introduced himself by the Third Elder and was led inside, where he finally met Yuan Ting, the good brother and partner the Third Elder had mentioned.

He was kindly pulled to sit down by the man in front of him with long black hair, an androgynous appearance, and even a clear and melodious voice.

"I never expected Ah Hao to have such a handsome junior. Tell me, is there anything the Yuan family can help with?"

Yuan Ting and the Third Elder Xu Chunhao had traveled together on the mainland for a long time when they were young.

The two were very close friends. Yuan Ting also knew that the other party came from a reclusive major sect. After many years of not seeing each other, the other party wrote in the letter that he had broken through to the Soul Douluo level.

He understood Xu Chunhao's meaning, but with the situation on the mainland in such chaos that even reclusive sects couldn't hold back anymore?

"Grandpa Yuan, I wonder if you know about this place called Jueyunjian?"

Yuan Ting naturally knew, and was very clear, that this was a hot topic of discussion among the upper echelons of Dongji City recently.

In this Douluo Continent, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever; when there are many people, there will be a lot of gossip.

The Chen brothers formed an adventure team of more than ten people, but not everyone could keep the secret.

However, Xu Mingxi has only been here a short time, yet she has integrated into Dongji City so quickly that Yuan Ting couldn't help but praise her as a social butterfly.

"It seems that Grandpa Yuan is aware of this. He has come here for two reasons: first, to pay a visit to you on behalf of his elders, and second, to invite the Yuan family to join this adventure group."

Yuan Ting was so angry he almost laughed. He had worked so hard to maintain a neutral position, and you think you can destroy it with just a few words?

No matter how good his relationship with Xu Chunhao was, as the head of the family, he would not drag the family down with him.

"It's just an adventure; my Yuan family won't get involved."

"Grandpa Yuan, the Mo family has already made a move against the daughter of the Chen family patriarch. If they win, what do you think they will do to the Yuan family?"

Although Chen Mingxi didn't know who attacked Chen Qinghuang, making things up wouldn't be embarrassing.

Even if they didn't do it, as long as they can't say it, they have to admit it.

Yuan Ting frowned; he knew about the attack on the Chen family's youngest daughter.

But it was the Mo family who did it? How come he didn't find out? The Chen family hasn't made any moves either.

He couldn't prove that Xu Mingxi's words were true, but he also couldn't prove that his words were false.

Moreover, the Mo family is indeed more arrogant and domineering on ordinary days, and sometimes they even bully the Yuan family.

If Yuan Ting were to choose, he would indeed prefer the Chen family a little more, but a balance would be more advantageous for the Yuan family.

Seeing that the original family head was wavering, Xu Mingxi seized the opportunity, knowing that if she missed this chance, she might never have another one.

"Grandpa Yuan, I just came from the adventure group. Many people saw me on the way to the Yuan residence."

Yuan Ting was speechless. Is this how you play the game?

"Boy, you did this on purpose, but you're too naive to think you can force the Yuan family onto our side."

A dark shadow flashed across the hall, and a middle-aged man dressed in a black Soul Master robe appeared.

The phantom of an earth dragon appeared on his body, and eight soul rings floated behind him. It was none other than Chen Hou, the retainer of the Yuan family.

Xu Mingxi was not afraid at all, because someone had already stood in front of him.

The original patriarch and the enshrined elder felt the oppressive aura emanating from the masked man before them, and cold sweat poured down their backs. Chen Hou immediately withdrew his martial spirit.

The masked man disappeared, but Yuan Ting no longer dared to underestimate Xu Mingxi.

"We, the Yuan family, have accepted your invitation. Please come to pick them up the day after tomorrow morning." "Thank you, Patriarch. The Star Crown Sect will never forget the Yuan family's contributions."

I hope so.

Yuan Ting watched Xu Mingxi leave, and could only pray for the future of his family.

That's how the weak are; they can only be manipulated by the strong. The Yuan family, though one of the five great families of Dongji City, is nothing more than a tiny ant on the continent.

He had thought that with the three sects of the Heavenly Dou Empire in turmoil and the royal family holding absolute power in the Star Luo Empire, things would be peaceful.

I didn't expect that major players would already be making moves. I hope this upheaval won't affect the Yuan family.

Xu Mingxi was unaware of what the former family head was thinking; he was in his living quarters explaining things to his grandfather.

Xu Chunyi looked at his grandson and, unusually, put on a stern face.

"Mingxi, why are you doing this? The sect did not teach you to get involved in the conflicts of the continent."

"Grandpa, the continent is in chaos, and the Spirit Hall is ambitious. Only by acquiring greater power can we protect ourselves in the upcoming turmoil."

Xu Chunyi had no idea what would happen in the future, nor did he know that Xu Mingxi had the idea of ​​unifying the continent.

The Yuan family is weak, but they have a good relationship with the Star Crown Sect, so this time there shouldn't be any major problems. Moreover, taking this opportunity to bring the Yuan family and even half of the power in Dongji City onto the war chariot might actually be a good thing.

He simply hoped that his grandson would keep the overall interests of the Star Crown Sect in mind, rather than making enemies indiscriminately.

"I will report the truth to the sect leader."

The matter ended there. The grandfather and grandson returned to normal, the elder disappeared into the shadows, and Xu Mingxi lay in bed, beginning to reflect.

Was I being too hasty? But time waits for no one. Once the Clear Sky Sect closes its mountain, the Spirit Hall will rule the world. At that point, it will be even more difficult to influence the various factions.

For ambitious people, only a turbulent and unstable Douluo Continent is the best Douluo Continent.

The news that Xu Mingxi had gone straight into the Yuan family after leaving the adventure group had already been delivered to the desks of the leaders of various forces.

Tonight, Dongji City is destined to be anything but peaceful.

……

Two days later, all five members of the adventure team who participated in the trip to Jueyun Gorge gathered at the city gate, accompanied by two Soul Saints from two different families.

They stared in shock at Yuan Qing walking beside Xu Mingxi, never expecting that he could actually bring the Yuan family into the picture.

Although they all knew about Xu Mingxi's visit to the Yuan family yesterday, visiting and bringing someone along on the trip to Jueyunjian are two different things.

Is the Yuan family about to take sides?

The group of nine boarded a carriage and headed to Jueyun Ravine, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant journey. However, the heads of the various families in the city were not so relaxed.

In the Mo family's reception room, the head of the Mo family sat in a chair sipping tea, while the head of the Zhao family paced back and forth anxiously to the side.

"Old Mo, stop drinking. What's going on with the Yuan family? They've been quiet for so many years, and now they've suddenly popped up again."

"Don't worry, this Xu Mingxi is probably a young master from some family, his background is definitely not small."

Based on my understanding of that old fox Yuan Ting, either he offered him enormous benefits, or he simply couldn't afford to offend Xu Mingxi.

The head of the Mo family immediately ordered the assassin group to retreat. A powerful dragon had arrived; what did it matter if he, a local bully, yielded?

There's still a long way to go. Besides, the city lord's mansion is still there; who says those five families have to be enemies?
